Pirate: If you are immortal, I will first fill up the overlord color.

Chapter 554 War Readiness

In the ninja school, Naruto is almost famous for his poor talent.

Whether it's throwing kunai, physical skills, or practicing the three body techniques, he is far inferior to Sasuke.

And with the help of the Sharingan, Sasuke learned everything quickly and was already a little-known genius in Konoha.

It is precisely because of this that Naruto has an even stronger desire to become stronger and gain recognition from others.

Compared to Sasuke's pride in being a genius of the Uchiha clan, he is undoubtedly more able to put aside his face and flexibly obtain what he needs.

"I haven't said yet that I'm going to teach you to become stronger!"

"Naruto!"

Xia Le shook his head and smiled faintly.

"Given your current situation, you are not qualified to be my disciple."

Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Naruto's eyes, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.

"You can teach me even if you are not my disciple!"

"Look at Sasuke's cocky look, isn't it disgusting?"

Xia Le just smiled, then drank the tea in the cup and uttered two words: "Pour tea!"

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then poured the tea with a big smile on his face.

Although he is young, Naruto is obviously much more flexible. In other words, his emotional intelligence is relatively higher.

"You want me to teach you."

"First, I need to know what you learned in the Ninja School."

Xia Le smiled lightly.

Then, he slowly stood up.

"Just let me see what Konoha has taught you!"

Hearing this, both of their expressions changed slightly.

A hint of excitement flashed across Naruto's face, but Sasuke felt a hint of doubt.

Although the other party had the Uchiha clan's emblem on him, his identity had yet to be confirmed, so he was still very cautious.

A moment later, in the yard.

“Of all the methods for testing what you have learned, actual combat is undoubtedly the most effective and direct one!”

"let's start!"

Xia Le folded his arms and said calmly.

Naruto clenched his fists and immediately assumed an attacking stance, his expression becoming serious.

He had fought like this many times in the Ninja School, and most of the time he ended up losing. And against a genius like Sasuke, he had no chance at all.

The teacher in charge of the class would never arrange the two of them together.

Because the gap between them is too big.

"You act so cocky on weekdays, but now let me see how strong you really are!"

Naruto shouted.

Sasuke just stood there coldly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Its distinct black and white eyes suddenly changed and turned blood red, and one of the magatama began to spin slowly.

It is the symbol of the Uchiha clan, the Sharingan.

"You know nothing about the power of the Uchiha!"

Sasuke said coldly.

Naruto had an angry expression on his face. The other party's contempt made him feel very uncomfortable.

"let's start!"

At this time, Xia Le said lightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto rushed forward.

But as Sasuke said, he knew nothing about the power of the Sharingan, and almost all of his movements were seen through, as if in slow motion.

Just a few breaths later, Sasuke counterattacked and punched him in the face.

"boom!"

A dull collision sound was heard, and Naruto immediately flew out, fell to the ground, and moved some distance away.

"too weak!"

"There is no need for such a fight!"

Sasuke said coldly.

Then he turned around and looked at Xia Le.

The meaning in his eyes was very clear, it was a demonstration.

Xia Le's expression was calm. He frowned slightly as he watched Naruto fall to the ground and then get up again.

Naruto was indeed very weak at this moment.

However, Minato Namikaze, who is of the same age, has already become a famous young genius with outstanding strength and has even participated in the war.

The contrast between father and son is so strong.

Soon afterwards, Xia Le's eyes blinked, and when he opened them again, they had turned blood red.

It was this pair of blood-red eyes that caused Sasuke's expression to change suddenly, and his heart was shocked.

"Sharingan!"

"It's still three magatama!"

"He really is a member of the Uchiha clan."

Seeing these familiar eyes, Sasuke instantly confirmed the other person's identity and felt complicated.

"really!"

"Although he is young, because of the Uzumaki clan's bloodline, the chakra in his body is several times that of Sasuke of the same age!"

"only."

After a pause, Xia Le looked at Naruto.

Stared at by those blood-red eyes, Naruto, who had just gotten up, was inexplicably afraid.

"Uncle Xia Le!"

"Do you find it difficult to operate and mobilize chakra normally?"

Xia Le asked.

Naruto was stunned: "Isn't everyone like this?"

He always thought that mobilizing chakra was a very difficult thing.

"It should be, only you!"

"In other words, because of the existence of that fox, it is several times more difficult for you to mobilize chakra than for others!"

Xia Le said.

Naruto's expression changed slightly: "Fox?"

"I'll take you to see it!"

Xia Le said lightly.

His figure flashed, and Sasuke had already opened his Sharingan, so before he could even see the trajectory of his movements, he was already in front of Naruto.

"So fast!"

Sasuke was shocked.

At the same time, Xia Le's right hand had already touched Naruto's head.

A pair of three-magatama Sharingan also turned into a Mangekyo in an instant.

Naruto just raised his head, but before he could react, the world was spinning around him the next second. When he could see his surroundings again, the environment around him had changed.

Inside the pitch-black cage, a ferocious monster with red flames burning all over its body was staring at him with cold eyes.

"what?!"

Naruto was startled and stepped back.

As the footsteps moved, the accumulated water on the ground was stepped on and splashed up.

"Kid!!"

"How did you get in here?"

A cold, low voice was heard.

It took Naruto a long time to realize that it was the huge creature in the cage in front of him that was speaking.

He clearly felt the terrifying sense of oppression coming from the other party. The contrast between their chakras was like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.

"who are you?"

Naruto asked in a shaky voice.

"who am I?"

"hehe?"

The huge monster sneered, two streams of white air blew out from his nostrils, and then he stopped talking, obviously too lazy to pay attention to him.

Naruto looked forward carefully and discovered that the opponent was shaped like a fox, with nine huge tails behind him, dancing gently.

Thinking of the way the villagers usually called him, he had some guesses in his mind.

At this moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"I haven't seen this guy in a long time!"

A gentle voice came, and the huge sense of oppression disappeared in an instant.

Naruto looked up and called out in surprise, "Uncle Xia Le!"

Xia Le nodded, then his eyes swept towards the Nine-Tailed Fox in front of him.

"You're still so annoying, Kyuubi!"

Hearing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox turned around, and when it saw his appearance, an anthropomorphic expression immediately appeared on its huge face, and it became terrified and shocked.

"It's you!!!"

It will never forget the miserable state it had been in, when it was played around with like a toy or a pet by the other party.

Even the Jinchūriki who had transformed into a tailed beast was like a poor little chick in front of it, and had no ability to fight back at all.

"Before, you were in the body of this child's mother."

"You were very dishonest then."

Xia Le said lightly.

“Now, it still looks like this.”

"It's really distressing!"

Kyuubi's expression suddenly changed, and the nine tails behind him shot up into the sky. He was extremely nervous: "What do you want to do?"

"If we fight here, this tiny body will also be affected!"

Looking at the other party's alert posture, Xia Le laughed.

"How about a negotiation?"

Kyuubi looked suspicious: "What are you discussing?"

"There is nothing to discuss between you and me!"

Then, he stared at Xia Le with a look of fear and hatred in his eyes.

The feeling of being controlled in every aspect, even losing control of one's body, is truly unforgettable.

"Take back your chakra that's influencing this child!"

Xia Le said lightly.

"Just for this?"

Kyuubi was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief.

Xia Le had a blank expression on his face and didn't say anything else.

But the Nine-Tails felt terrified and humiliated at the same time, because it almost instinctively withdrew the power that affected Naruto's chakra.

This undoubtedly meant that it was extremely terrified of the power of the man in front of it.

"Asshole, I'm not afraid of you!"

It growled and jerked its head up.

But when he looked again, the two people outside the cage had disappeared.

For some reason, Kyuubi breathed a sigh of relief.

Naruto slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was Xia Le's smiling face.

"Try to mobilize the chakra in your body again!"

After a moment of hesitation, Naruto immediately did as he was told.

Soon, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

This was because the chakra in the body was being mobilized extraordinarily smoothly, which was completely different from usual.

Xia Le chuckled and turned around.

"In the ninja school, you received only the most basic instruction."

"But if you want to learn something here, that basic knowledge is obviously not enough."

"but!"

After a pause, Xia Le smiled faintly again.

"Correspondingly, the effort and hardship you need to put in will also be greater."

Naruto's eyes widened and he immediately shouted, "I'm not afraid of hard work!"

"I don't want to be the last one in line anymore!"

"I, I think."

When he said this, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face, but soon he became determined.

"I want to be a hero like my father!"

"I want to be the Hokage of Konoha!"

Hearing this, Xia Le narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the child in front of him who was speaking such bold words.

After a while, he smiled.

“It’s good to have ambition, but it’s hard to achieve the ideal in your heart.”

"The hardships I've endured are probably a thousand times more than those of others!"

Naruto clenched his fists: "I'm never afraid of hardship!"

Yes, he was never afraid of hard work. What he was afraid of was not getting recognition from others, and that he would always be the last one in the class.

"it is good!"

"Then I want you to remember what you said."

Xia Le smiled lightly.

Then he looked at Sasuke meaningfully.

Naturally, everyone has the desire to become stronger, especially young children, who have infinite fantasies in their hearts.

“Your foundation is still very poor.”

"So next, you need to train your body well. Only when your body becomes more mature can you learn new things."

After hearing what Xia Le said, both of them showed a hint of disappointment in their eyes.

Next, Xia Le demonstrated the kunai throwing technique to the two of them.

Compared to Sasuke, Naruto's strength, accuracy, and skills are undoubtedly far inferior.

This is also normal.

No one would put more energy into the last one, right?
The worse the students are, the less attention they will get from the teachers. This also applies to ninja schools.

But Xia Le knew very well in his heart that Naruto's talent was actually not bad at all, and was even not inferior to his father Minato Namikaze.

He demonstrated to the two how to throw a kunai and hit the bull's eye with accuracy, and then threw three kunai at the same time, flying in an interlaced manner, but changing direction after colliding with each other, and finally hitting the bull's eye accurately.

This fancy technique made Sasuke and Naruto's eyes widen.

Because of this kind of throwing technique, even the Chunin teachers in the Ninja School cannot achieve it.

at the same time.

Outside the Uchiha clan, two pairs of eyes were already looking through the crack in the door, solemnly observing the scene inside.

"It can't be wrong!"

"It's really that man. He's back!"

"That year, I was only a teenager, but my memory of him is so profound that I will never forget it for the rest of my life!"

"But, hasn't he already joined the Rain Kingdom?"

"Now, you suddenly appeared in Konoha. What is your purpose?"

"Given his strength, I'm afraid he has discovered us. We must tell the Third Generation Master about this as soon as possible!"

"Yes, this kind of thing is no longer something we can decide!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the two figures quickly disappeared.

A moment later, in the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly raised his head, his face full of shock and surprise: "What did you say?"

"Xia Le?!"

"How could he appear in Konoha!"

The two ninjas who were responsible for monitoring Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other with serious expressions: "We are also shocked, but this matter is true!"

"Right now, he is in the new Uchiha clan territory, and is teaching the Kyuubi Jinchuriki and the Uchiha boys."

The Third Hokage's eyes flickered and his expression changed.

For a moment, there was silence.

He was very clear about Xia Le's power. Now, such a big shot suddenly appeared in Konoha, which caught him off guard.

What is his purpose?
It would have been fine if it had just touched Sasuke, but it even covered the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

In this case, the meaning behind it is worth pondering.

After a long while, he finally raised his head.

"Send Kakashi over here!"

"Also, have the guards and the jonin remaining in the village enter combat readiness!"

"Standby!"

Hearing this, the two ninjas' expressions changed and they saw the horror in each other's eyes.

Combat readiness!!

Just because of one person, Konoha ended its former tranquility and peace.

But they know very well that it is all worth it for that man!
Otherwise, if the other party makes any big move, it will be earth-shattering!
