The snow has stopped, but the coldness can still be felt in the air.
At the end of this winter, news came that was beyond everyone’s expectations.
The war is about to begin again.
You know, it has only been less than half a year since the war in the Kingdom of Rain ended.
According to news from the front, the ninjas of Sunagakure Village suddenly raided the border of Fire Country without any warning and officially declared war on Konoha.
This action caused heavy losses to the Konoha troops on the border of the Land of Fire, and they were in urgent need of support.
This is a war initiated by Sunagakure Village, which is also one of the five great ninja villages. The Third Kazekage personally led a large number of Sand Ninjas to launch a war against Konoha.
The opponent should not be underestimated. The entire Konoha Village was surrounded by a thick and tense atmosphere, and the tension on the faces of the villagers was visible to the naked eye.
Unlike the Amegakure Village, whose prestige rests mostly on one person, Sanshouyu Hanzo, the overall strength of Sunagakure Village is far above that of the ninjas of Amegakure Village, and its leader, the Third Kazekage, is known as the strongest Kazekage in history.
His right-hand Chiyo siblings are both powerful ninjas who are famous in the ninja world. They also have a mysterious and unpredictable puppet organization army, which has caused other ninja villages to suffer in previous ninja wars.
This time, the Sunagakure Village is coming fiercely, and the quality of its ninja troops is far better than that of the ninjas in the Rain Hidden Village. Konoha Village faces unprecedented challenges.
Although Konoha is the leader of the Five Ninja Village, it has been facing wars one after another and has not had much time to recuperate. Even Konoha, which has a large family and a large business, is a little overwhelmed.
At this time, Konoha Kato finally realized that the Rain Country War was just the prelude to the Second Ninja War, and the real war was only beginning now.
The tremendous pressure of the approaching storm made all Konoha ninjas nervous.
Konoha's top brass, headed by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, immediately held an emergency meeting and formulated various targeted plans and policies.
After the meeting, a large number of Konoha ninjas rushed to the front line for support, heading towards the border of the Land of Fire.
The major ninja clans also sent many elite ninjas.
At the same time, the Ninja School is about to usher in a school-wide actual ranking assessment!
…
…
Uchiha clan land.
Private training ground.
The two figures kept flashing, and as the two sides fought, trembling sounds came one after another in the air, like air explosions inspired by extreme strength and speed.
The speed of both sides was extremely fast, and even afterimages appeared.
As the two figures separated, the only sound left on the field was Hitomi Uchiha's heavy breathing. Opposite her, Kurono Masaru's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he did not shed a drop of sweat, as if he had not even warmed up to the fullest.
Today, ordinary taijutsu training has no effect on Kurono Katsu. Practicing with Hitomi Uchiha for a while every day is equivalent to relaxing his muscles and bones.
"This pervert..."
Hitomi Uchiha gritted his teeth and spat out these words from between his teeth.
Since taking the genetic enhancement fluid to achieve a qualitative change in his physique, Hitomi Uchiha has trained even harder, and has completely mastered this surge of power in a short period of time.
Full of confidence, she once again wanted to compete with Xuanyokatsu, but after practicing every day, Xuanyokatsu could still easily crush Hitomi Uchiha in physical skills!
After calming down his breathing, Hitomi Uchiha asked: "Do you want to participate in the school-wide practical ranking assessment organized by the Ninja School? I heard that students with outstanding performance will directly graduate early, and the top three can also be selected from the Book of Sealings A ninjutsu as a reward."
As a little princess of the Uchiha clan, Hitomi gets the news a day or two earlier than others.
However, this kind of news is generally known to all major ninja clans.
Even the Third Hokage would pay attention to this kind of practical examination for the whole school.
Sarutobi Hiruzen not only wanted to see Konoha's new blood, but also wanted to discover some potential talents to shine for Konoha's future wars.
He even plans to discover a few civilian genius students. Children who are not from the ninja clan are easier to control and can be used to weigh the power of the major ninja clans in the future.
"It seems that this war has put a lot of pressure on Konoha. Even the children from the ninja school have to be sent to the front line..."
Xuan Ye Sheng instantly analyzed the real purpose of this school-wide actual ranking assessment.
It is said to be a school-wide assessment, but in fact I am afraid it is to transport a new batch of cannon fodder to the battlefield.
"This actual combat assessment is not a simple one-on-one, but a back-and-forth drawing of lots to determine a complete ranking. Forget it, why am I talking so much? You probably won't participate..."
In Hitomi Uchiha's heart, no matter how much she said, it would be in vain.
"I'm participating. Hitomi, haven't you always wanted to graduate early? Let's take this opportunity."
"Wha...what?!"
Hitomi Uchiha looked at Kurono Masaru in disbelief, suspecting that her ears had heard wrongly.
This guy who only wants to spend six years of his ninja school career in a stable way is actually willing to graduate early. The sun is rising from the west?
"As for the ninjutsu in the Book of Sealings, there are a few that I'm quite interested in. Hitomi, let's take the top two together."
Xuan Ye Sheng said with a smile, as if his ranking in the actual combat assessment had already been predetermined in his words.
Uchiha Hitomi's eyes flashed, and he asked curiously: "Is there any ninjutsu that interests you, and can even make you graduate early?"
The Book of Sealing is a scroll sealed by the First Hokage, which records the use of forbidden techniques such as multiple shadow clones.
In the original work, Naruto stole this thing from the home of the third Hokage under the instigation of Mizuki, and took advantage of it to learn the art of multiple shadow clones.
The two techniques that interest Xuanzang the most are the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Earth Reincarnation Technique.
These two ninjutsu can be called bug-level existences, and they are the ninjutsu that Xuanye must win!
"Yes, I am interested in both the Flying Thunder God Jutsu and the Earth Reincarnation Jutsu. It's a pity that a person can only choose one ninjutsu. Hitomi, will you help me?"
"Hmph, originally I had no interest in this kind of practical examination like playing house, but since you have sincerely requested me, I will be merciful and help you."
Having said that, some excitement was revealed in her words. These excitements were not about Hitomi Uchiha's expectations for the next practical examination. What she really looked forward to was to graduate early!
Once she graduates early, she will officially become a ninja and can perform various tasks and even participate in frontline wars!
There was a dark and uncertain light in Kurono Masaru's eyes. In fact, there was one thing he didn't tell Uchiha Hitomi. That was that he temporarily changed his plan and chose to take the exam and graduate early, not only for the two ninjutsu, but also for Hinata Colorful Ring!
The time goes back to a night not long ago.
