evening.
Zuosuke, who was sweating profusely, finished his training for the day and walked out of the Ninja School under the sunset.
Naruto caught up at this time and suggested: "Zosuke, I have two coupons here. Do you want to go eat ramen together?"
"snort!"
Zuosuke snorted lightly.
undoubtedly.
He was still sulking over the discussion about team strength rankings in Ninja School today.
He felt extremely annoyed when he thought that he was considered by everyone to be the last of the four geniuses in the Ninja School, and that he even needed Naruto to stabilize the ranking of the team.
Naruto said carelessly: "Don't worry, isn't there still me? If we work together, the ranking will definitely rise!"
Zuosuke glanced at Naruto angrily: "Can you please stop bothering me?"
Naruto pursed his lips: "Then I'll go by myself!"
After sending Naruto away, Zuosuke came alone to a remote training ground near a small lake not far from his apartment.
Staring at the calm lake surface, Zuosuke suddenly raised his hand to form a seal and shouted: "Fire Escape, the powerful fire ball technique!"
boom!
In an instant, a huge flame burst out from his mouth and surged away, scorching the surface of the lake until the water rippled and filled with steam.
"call..."
After a while, Zuosuke stopped his fire escape and exhaled.
At his age, being able to perform such a powerful fire escape was actually far beyond the level of Ninja School students, but he was not satisfied with it.
Because such fire escape ninjutsu cannot shake Yakumo's "wood escape" at all.
"How should I deal with the 'Wood Release'? Maybe I can be like Shinji and contract a ninja cat in the Land of Cats?"
After thinking for a while, he shook his head.
Although he has long been accustomed to imitating Shinji, at this point, he has a clear judgment.
The reason why Shinji was able to defeat Yakumo's 'Wood Release' was due to a small probability event brought together by various factors. Today, if Shinji and Yakumo were to compete again, Shinji might be the loser.
Therefore, Shinji's tactics for dealing with 'Wood Release' have been used to the extreme. It is simply unrealistic to repeat this tactics to defeat Yakumo.
Peng...
Thinking of this, Zuosuke punched a big tree next to him: "Damn it, can I never beat Yakumo again?"
Whoa...
At this moment, a figure fell into the practice field.
Zuosuke glanced at it and frowned: "Kakashi, what do you want from me?"
"Hey, if you don't eat on time, you won't grow taller!" Kakashi greeted lazily, and then took out a lunch box from behind.
"Tch, boring!"
Zuosuke spat lightly, not appreciating it.
Looking at the lake where smoke was still rising, Kakashi asked: "Still thinking about dealing with the 'Wooden Release'?"
Zuosuke neither admitted nor denied.
Kakashi sighed and walked over slowly: "Zosuke, cracking the 'Wood Release' is too much for you now. There is no need for you to put such heavy shackles on yourself!"
Zuosuke growled: "But Shinji defeated 'Wooden', and he didn't even awaken the Sharingan!"
"Shinji's performance last time was indeed unexpected, but..." Shaking his head, Kakashi continued: "That's almost his limit."
Sasuke glared at Kakashi: "You want me to admit that I'm not as good as Shinji?"
Kakashi said calmly: "I want to tell you that there is no need to compete with 'Wooden'."
"'Wooden Release' is actually nothing special!" Sasuke subconsciously opened the Sharingan eye and stared at Kakashi: "As long as I can awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan eye and obtain the 'Suzuo Nenghu', I will defeat ' Wood Release is not difficult at all! If Shinji can win, so can I!"
"Sure enough, it's not the time yet..."
Looking at the somewhat hysterical Zuosuke, Kakashi shook his head again, then he put down the lunch box in his hand and turned around and left without saying a word.
He came to see Zuosuke this time. He originally saw Zuosuke being hit repeatedly and was worried that Zuosuke would be depressed, so he thought of teaching Zuosuke the "Chidori" so that Zuosuke could master a powerful ninjutsu.
However, looking at Zuosuke's current state, he gave up the idea of teaching Chidori.
You must know that the destructive power of the Chidori is no less than that of the Rasengan. With Sasuke's current aggressive state, mastering the Chidori is not a good thing and may cause irreparable tragedy.
Kakashi's silent departure made Zuosuke's face become even more gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said, "You can look down on me now, but one day, I will impress you all!"
Having made up his mind secretly, he changed his mind and walked towards the stall in the village.
After a while, he came to the archives and said to the administrator: "I want to check the fire escape ninjutsu scroll of our Uchiha clan!"
The administrator asked: "All?"
Zuosuke nodded: "Yes, all of them!"
The administrator said nothing more and turned around and entered the warehouse.
After the Uchiha clan was exterminated, many of the clan's collections were naturally put into the village's archives for the training of ninjas in the village.
Of course, not everyone can read it at will. Even a Jonin needs the permission of the Hokage.
As an orphan of Uchiha, Zuosuke has the qualification to read through these Uchiha family fire escape ninjutsu scrolls at will.
Also possessing this qualification is Shinji.
This is also the reason why Shinji was able to perform the B-level fire escape ninjutsu 'Great Fire Extinguishing' when he faced Yakumo.
Sasuke had been obsessed with developing his Sharingan before, so he didn't spend much energy on fire release. Now his practice has reached a bottleneck, so he wants to be like Shinji and master the family's fire release ninjutsu one by one. Say it again.
Soon, the administrator handed several scrolls to Zuosuke and warned: "I don't need to explain the rules anymore, right? These scrolls can only be read in the archives and are not allowed to be taken out!"
"Um!"
Zuosuke responded and took away all the scrolls.
With his thoughts on his mind, he quickly came to the reading area with the scroll in his arms, but just as he was about to take a seat, he saw a familiar figure in the reading area.
"Shinji!?"
Zuosuke was surprised, but then relieved quickly.
In his opinion, Shinji's purpose in coming to the library must be the same as him, he is also looking for a way to crack the 'Wood Release'.
After all, the tactic used to defeat Yakumo before would not work the next time. If Shinji wanted to maintain the number one position in the Ninja School for a longer time, he would have to think of another tactic.
"This guy finally has a sense of crisis!"
After secretly muttering, Zuosuke walked over.
Just when he was about to say hello, out of the corner of his eye, he realized that what Shinji was looking up was not a ninjutsu scroll at all, but a book explaining medicinal materials, so his face darkened and he asked: "Shinji, are you crazy? It’s time, are you still reading this useless book?”
