Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki - Chapter 306
c306 Prophecy and assessment
At Mt. Miaomu, a huge tear from the void caused Jiraiya to completely lose his balance and fall from the air. When he rolled to the ground in embarrassment, he realized that he had arrived at Mt. Miaomu from the cubicle of the women’s bathhouse.
“It’s really indecent.” Shima Sennin looked at Jiraiya’s naked figure with a disgusted expression.
“Haha, little Jiraiya, you are so…little.” Fukasaku Sennin smiled meaningfully.
Jiraiya’s cheeks twitched. Why did he seem to be despised by the two toads?
“Asshole, why did you call me over if you have nothing to do? You don’t know that I have something serious to do!” Jiraiya became angry with embarrassment.
“It’s not that we are looking for you, it’s the Great Immortal who wants to see you!” Immortal Shima snorted.
“What? Toad Immortal wants to see me again?” Jiraiya scratched his head, somewhat confused about the situation.
“Come with us.” Fukasaku Sennin walked in front.
Jiraiya quickly got up and followed the two immortals. As he walked, he asked, “What does the Toad Immortal want from me this time? Could it be that he has seen the future again? Minato and Nagato are both dead. Is it possible?” A new child of destiny appears?”
Fukasaku-sennin and Shima-sennin looked at each other and shook their heads in unison, “You’ll know when you go see them.”
“Hmph, it’s mysterious.” Although Jiraiya looked unhappy, he still respected Toad Sennin very much. After all, his immortal magic and many powerful ninjutsu were all practiced on Mt. Miaomu.
In the huge and empty hall, the walls are covered with thick scrolls. The Great Toad Immortal is sitting on a giant cushion, which looks a bit like a base. The Great Toad Immortal’s eyes seem to be open, and his huge mouth is slightly pulling a A faint smile, looking very kind.
“Little Jiraiya, you’re here.” Toad Immortal just opened his mouth slightly and spit out a series of words, but these words didn’t seem to come from his mouth, more like a kind of ventriloquism.
“I’ve seen the Great Immortal.” Jiraiya put away his cynicism and bowed obediently. “The Great Immortal came to me this time. Did he see the future again?”
“The future? No, I just dreamed about some interesting scenes.” The Great Toad Immortal said slowly, “Although it is intermittent, it is completely different from what I dreamed before.”
“It’s different?” Jiraiya was startled. He knew how powerful the Great Toad Immortal was, who had lived for thousands of years. A random dream would be a picture of the future. Just like he would come to Miaomu Mountain, this great Toad Immortal had already dreamed of it hundreds of years ago!
Fukasaku-sennin and Shima-sennin stood on both sides of Toad-Sennin. The faces of the two toads were full of solemnity. In recent years, Toad-Sennin has dreamed of completely different scenes more than once. This most likely represents the future. already changed. Jiraiya had been called here once before, but obviously this time it was completely different from the previous situation.
“Great Immortal, what did you dream about?” Jiraiya asked solemnly.
“A young man often appears in my dreams. He has a Mangekyō Sharingan that does not belong to him,” Toad Sennin said.
“Ah?” Jiraiya looked confused, “Mangekyo Sharingan? What is that? Is it related to the Uchiha clan? Does this person have anything to do with the future?”
Shima Sennin explained, “It means that after a young man obtained the Mangekyō Sharingan, he began to appear in Toad Sennin’s dreams, and he appeared more and more often.”
Fukasaku Sage sighed and quickly explained, “This young man with the Mangekyō Sharingan is changing the future bit by bit, and the trend of change is gradually getting bigger.”
Jiraiya blinked his eyes twice, held his expression for a long time with a confused expression, and asked, “Great Immortal, if the future is already determined, how can that young man change the future? If the future cannot be confirmed, then anyone can change the future. , then why only that young man appears in the great immortal’s dream?”
Fukasaku Sennin and Shima Sennin looked at each other, as if they didn’t expect that such an unreliable guy like Jiraiya could ask such a philosophical question. They couldn’t help but look up at Toad Sennin.
“Find him, and then bring him to see me.” After finishing speaking, the Great Toad Immortal tilted his head and completely lost his voice.
Jiraiya was immediately startled. Just when he was about to confirm the life and death of the other party, Fukasaku Sage said calmly, “It’s okay, I just fell asleep. Jiraiya, this is a mission issued by the Great Sage himself. You But it must be done early.”
Relieved, Jiraiya touched his chin and murmured, “The Mangekyou Sharingan. The Uchiha clan has not had a powerful ninja for many years. Now the only one who is more powerful and still alive is Uchiha Fugaku.” Said the Great Sage. Is it him?”
A month has passed since Itachi Uchiha received the ANBU assessment letter. On this day, Itachi came to the ANBU building.
With a cold face, no emotion could be seen. No one would have thought that such a young man was only ten years old. There was no trace of childishness that a child should have in him.
“Uchiha Itachi?” an ANBU asked as he looked Itachi up and down.
Itachi nodded “Itachi Uchiha is here to take the ANBU assessment.”
The ANBU said, “The department you are assessing is ANBU Class 6. Please come with me.”
Itachi didn’t speak, just followed the ANBU through the dark hall. In front of him was a dark and long corridor. Itachi seemed to be walking behind without any distractions, but in fact, out of the corner of his eye, he had already memorized all the places he had walked.
Ninjas must observe the surrounding environment accurately and never let down their guard at any time. There are many people who know this, but there are very few people who can actually do it. And the young Itachi has already Did this.
“Uchiha Itachi, in front is the ANBU assessment venue. Go in by yourself.” After the ANBU finished speaking, he turned and left.
It was a dark iron door that looked a bit cold. Itachi pushed open the iron door without much hesitation.
There was a creaking sound, and the iron door was a bit heavy. After opening the door, Itachi saw three ninjas wearing ANBU costumes standing in the center of the room.
The person on the left didn’t need to look at Itachi to know who it was. With that kind of body shape and stance, he was definitely Shisui. I don’t know who the man on the right is, I probably haven’t seen him before.
The man in the middle has silver-white hair and exudes a dangerous aura. He should be the legendary Hatake Kakashi.
Itachi just took one look and made an instant judgment: “Uchiha Itachi, come and take the assessment.”
Kakashi took a closer look at Itachi. This young man really had a calm aura about him. From the time he came in until now, Itachi’s heartbeat has been beating very gently, proving that he doesn’t feel nervous at all.
Most young people would inevitably feel nervous at this time, but he didn’t. Kakashi had to admit that the psychological quality of the person in front of him was really not that high.
“Itachi Uchiha is ten years old. He entered school at the age of six, graduated at the age of seven, and was promoted to chuunin at the age of ten. He is known as a rare genius in decades.” Kakashi read out Itachi’s information word by word. There was no expression on Itachi’s face.
“Excellent results. Most people in the ANBU don’t have such an outstanding resume as you.” In the ANBU, except for Kakashi himself, the rest of the people really don’t have such outstanding results, and only Shisui and Itachi is almost the same.
“Your grades are enough for you to enter ANBU, but ANBU is not that easy to enter. Before that, we have to conduct an assessment on you. The assessment is very simple. On a mountain near the village, I placed an ANBU The mask, as long as you can retrieve it before sunset, you will pass the test.”
Itachi frowned. He went to find such a small thing in a deep mountain without any clues. It was impossible to find it even if it was before sunset, even if it was a month.
Seemingly seeing Itachi’s solemnity, Kakashi continued, “I hid this mask. You can find clues from my body for one minute.”
Itachi was relieved when he heard this. It seemed much simpler this way. He didn’t waste time, but walked directly to Kakashi, walked around him, and then looked up and down.
“One minute is up, you can choose to give up or start.”
Itachi didn’t say much and left the ANBU building in a flash.
“Shisui, your brother is really cold.” Seeing Itachi leave, Tenzo joked on the side.
Shisui smiled helplessly, “There is no way. Itachi has been like this since he left Teacher Shirataki, but I can’t blame him. After all, his father is the leader of the Fugaku clan. I haven’t seen him smile since then.”
“That’s really interesting, Shisui, Kakashi-senpai, do you think he can find that mask?” Tenzo asked.
“It must be no problem, Itachi is very smart.” Shisui said with great confidence.
Kakashi touched his chin and said, “There should be no problem. This test is not difficult. It is just to test Itachi’s observation and judgment.”
Regarding Itachi’s strength, Kakashi knew that there was no problem after seeing Itachi take action. So this assessment was not meant to test Itachi’s skills, but was done in a different way.
The clues Kakashi left on him were obvious, and Itachi’s eyes had indeed looked at those places just now, so there shouldn’t be any problem.
Seeing that both Shisui and Kakashi recognized Itachi so much, Tenzo couldn’t help but be a little surprised. He didn’t expect that this ten-year-old brat would be so valued by both Kakashi and Shisui.
Tenzo knows that Kakashi and Shisui seem to be very gentle, but in fact it is not that easy to get them to agree. From this point of view, Itachi really has something special about him.
Uchiha clan land.
Shirataki walked into Fugaku’s home. At this time, Fugaku was sitting in the yard supervising Sasuke’s training.
Sasuke looked at Shirataki who suddenly appeared and asked with surprise, “Who are you? Why did you appear silently?”
“Sasuke! Don’t be rude to Shirataki-sama! Shirataki-sama is the strongest being in the village!” Fugaku immediately scolded his son.
“Master Shirataki? The strongest in the village?” Sasuke was shocked at that time. He looked at the young man in front of him in astonishment and couldn’t help but ask, “Is he stronger than his father and brother?”
Fugaku’s face suddenly darkened, fearing that Sasuke’s words would offend Shirataki, so he quickly yelled, “Sasuke!”
Just when Fugaku was about to scold Sasuke, Shirataki waved his hand to stop Fugaku and chuckled, “Okay Fugaku, there is no need to worry so much about children. I have something to talk to you about.”
Although Shirataki said this with a smile, his voice was tortured by the pain of his soul and seemed a little hoarse at this time.
