The mysterious young man, Yamanaka Inoichi, turned his gaze to Sean and chuckled in a low voice, "It seems I don't have a choice."

Sean shrugged. "Now you can ask your questions."

"If that's the case, I want to know, is Madara Uchiha really still alive?"

On the night of the Nine-Tails' death, Kushina Uzumaki perished, and the Fourth Hokage committed suicide for love. This became an eternal pain in the hearts of these veteran Jonin. Yamanaka Inoichi never gave up investigating the masked man's movements.

"Alive."

As expected, Yamanaka Inoichi was surprisingly calm, tossing Sean a scroll: "The scroll contains the answers you seek. You can control me at will, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to materialize the thoughts in my mind."

"It's not difficult, but it requires Mr. Shanzhong's cooperation." Sean reached out and grabbed the scroll, waving his hand to stir up clouds and mist, forming a wave of clouds. He then let the Mind Master enter the consciousness space. Even though Sean had absolute confidence that he wouldn't let Haiyi seize the opportunity, it would be best if the risk could be reduced to zero.

Haiyi's figure shattered like a mirror.

Before leaving, he glanced at Sean one last time. The young man casually unfurled the scroll, like a blade of grass that had survived the harsh winter, shaking off the snow and basking in the morning dew. His eyes grew brighter, as if he had gained some understanding.

"So that's what happened with Qiang Kaixin Road."

"I don't need to waste my energy on external things, or put myself in others' shoes by deliberately flattering or pleasing them."

"There's no need for internal conflict or constant self-doubt about whether you're doing something wrong."

"All I need to do is to start from 'myself,' pave my own path in life, undisturbed by the storms and thunder of the outside world, and unconcerned with the judgments, gossip, and opinions of others."

"To completely follow my own heart, to construct 'my' world, and to forcibly bring the hearts of others under my will."

"To force them to act according to my own conscience"

In other words, "This is Konoha's version of 'I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me'!"

With a sudden realization, Sean crushed the scroll with a flick of his wrist, and couldn't help but exclaim, "That's incredibly forceful!"

"This is no longer just an 'idealist,' this is outright 'egoism'!"

No wonder the mountain clan has been Konoha's intelligence officers for generations. With that kind of tenacity, it would be a waste of his talent if he didn't become a spy.

The sea of ​​clouds surged and churned with Sean's emotions, subtly threatening to coalesce into a tempestuous storm. The young man waved his hand downwards and whispered, "Silence!"

Consciousness returned, and I opened my eyes.

at the same time--

Upon hearing Sean's audacious answer of "one day," Netero burst into laughter, finding the boy's arrogance laughable.

He turned his head and looked at Sean with a mocking expression, saying, "Then this old man doesn't mind waiting here for another day."

Young and impetuous Netero suddenly understood why that old bastard Maha was going to such lengths to keep Sean in check.

"Excessive rigidity leads to breakage, and sharpness will eventually fade. If we don't curb this brat's arrogance soon, he might just puncture the sky!"

Sean turned his head and glanced at Netero as well, then smiled.

"I think the president is also in a hurry to catch the airship. Since time is tight, let's not waste another day and just do it now."

"Huh?!" Netero raised an eyebrow. "Sean, I don't think this is a joke."

“I think so too,” Sean winked at Netero, then suddenly lifted his foot and stomped down hard: “Come out, Heart Lake, don’t make me repeat myself.”

"Gurgle~" A spring suddenly emerged from under Sean's feet, and then a torrent of water suddenly gushed out, splashing water all over Netero's body. Fortunately, Sean was prepared and pulled him up, preventing him from getting soaked.

"Wow!" That brat actually did it!

The chairman stood next to Sean, putting on a calm demeanor, but his old hands behind his back were trembling uncontrollably, almost betraying him!

He stared wide-eyed down, and the land where springs spread was full of lakes—wasn't that the lake of his heart?

"Tsk~ It's a pity it's a bit small?" Sean pulled his foot back and compared it to Netero's heart lake, he was very dissatisfied.

Netero's lips twitched, and he was almost about to break down and curse the brat. "You can materialize the Mind Lake in less than a day, what size do you want?"

You should know that even I, back in the day, spent nearly two years to manifest a heart lake the size of a palm, okay?

The assembly president couldn't hold back any longer. He stroked his beard and said stiffly, "It's already quite good that it can be materialized. We can expand it slowly in the future."

"Sigh, that's all we can do." Sean sighed helplessly. "The kid's too stupid. If he had even a fraction of your intelligence, old man, he might have been able to materialize the fishing rod by now."

"Heh heh~" Netero snapped his hand to dispel [Heart Drop - Fist Listening]!

I couldn't listen to it anymore.

You damn fool. Look at your grandson, isn't he a bastard?

You want to conjure a fishing rod? You might as well conjure a grandson for me!

I don't ask for much; I just need half of your intelligence.

"Buzz~" With a bellyful of complaints and nowhere to vent them, Netero regained consciousness and immediately turned and left.

"Huh? Hey~ President, wait for me! I haven't gotten the case study teacher's autograph yet~"

"Sign my ass! Didn't you see the airship arrived?" Netero cursed without turning his head, watching as it disappeared into the tunnel.

The dough figurine stamped its little feet, bowed to Sean, and said, "Next time, teacher of this case, please be sure to sign your name for me next time."

With that, he dropped the fried chicken and fries, reluctantly clutching his briefcase, and chased after Netero.

Ziponian glanced at Nitero and asked curiously, "The airship is at 10:30, and it's only 10 o'clock now. Is there any need to be in such a hurry?"

Sean grinned, revealing a set of white teeth: "Who knows?"

Chapter 70 Netero's Malicious Intentions X Kim and Kate's Confusion

He scooped up a piece of fried chicken, popped it into his mouth, and began to enjoy it immensely.

"What are you standing there for? Eat something and go home."

Ziponian agreed and enjoyed a free brunch with Sean. Afterward, he found a secluded spot, transformed into a motorcycle, and with a roar, sped off from the airport with Sean on his back, heading straight for Kukuro Mountain.

"I almost forgot to ask this kid when he's going to take the test."

On the second floor of the departure lounge, Netero stood with his hands behind his back, watching Sean leave, sighing silently.

The man with the bean-faced face finally caught up, panting heavily. Hearing this, he felt extremely aggrieved: "It's all because the chairman was in such a hurry that I didn't get to sign anything."

"Heh heh. Do you think I want to?" Netero glanced at the Bean Man, thinking, "Is the bald man planning a rebellion?" He said irritably, "I just don't want that brat to laugh at me."

In less than a day, the image of "Bean~ you didn't notice that kid's smug face" materialized in the heart lake.

"I want to see, but you have to pull me in first," the bean-faced man muttered under his breath. When he looked up, he was met with the iron fist of humanity's strongest rage!

"Alright, stop complaining. Call Jin and tell him the old man has something important to discuss with him."

The dough-faced man took a solid punch and covered his head in grievance, saying, "Jin might not take it."

"That guy is a complete idiot. He never comes to the regular meetings. You expect to be able to reach him with just one phone call?"

“He will answer.” Netero looked out the window and said quietly, “My son is only three years old. No matter how irresponsible a father is, he will always find some time to go back and visit.”

"Achoo~ Who's talking about me behind my back?"

On Whale Island, Netero's unreliable father, with his head covered by a hat, lay lazily by a stream deep in the jungle, resting his head on his arm, just about to take a nice nap when he suddenly sneezed, startling the clown.

"Hey Kate, I told you, your master is a lazy bum. His house is right in front of him, but he doesn't even go back to check on it. Poor little Jack, he lost his father's love at birth."

"Shut up!" Kate, wearing a blue baseball cap and grilling fish, shoved a blanket over the Mad Clown's mouth.

"Tsk~ I told you long ago, Nen is a reflection of the mind, Kate~ if you didn't think that way, it wouldn't say that." Jin rolled over and sat up from the grass, picked up the grilled fish Kate had just grilled and took a bite with relish, then glared at her: "No salt."

Kate shook her head, opened her pocket, pulled out a bottle of salt, and tossed it over: "I shouldn't interfere in Master's affairs. I just think that since we're already here, it wouldn't be a bad thing to go back and visit Xiao Jie occasionally, to make the kid happy."

Jin sprinkled salt on the fish head, then devoured it with gusto, saying nonchalantly, "With Mite and Grandma here, that child won't be wronged."

"Fatherly love! Fatherly love! Kate, you're covering my mouth again! Let go of me! I'm going to curse this bastard to death today! Ugh... ugh!"

"Clang!" Kate clenched her fist and punched the clown, nearly knocking Red Nose out of shape. She shook her hand expressionlessly and began to eat slowly and methodically with another grilled fish. Compared to Kim's unkempt and slovenly eating habits, Kate ate slowly and deliberately, taking small bites, her elegance almost unbelievable!

It's estimated that if people saw this, no one would believe that this pair could actually be master and apprentice. "Burp~ Ah~" A fish was devoured in a second, and Jin let out a satisfied burp, pulled down the brim of his hat, and lay down again, so lazy that he didn't even want to answer the phone ringing in his pocket.

Kate silently pulled her phone out of his pocket. "Hey, Kim, it's me, Netero."

A familiar, hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone. Jin, somewhat surprised, lifted the brim of his hat, reluctantly took the phone from Kate, yawned, and said, "Oh, it's the president. Are you alright? Why did you think of calling me?"

“Oh~ I got it,” Netero grinned mischievously. “My son is no better than Yang De, and you, as his father, are no better either.”

"Is Kate over there? Has she not come home again?"

Kate coughed lightly, met Kim's warning gaze, and silently pulled her hat brim down.

"Heh heh. You don't need to say anything, I can guess what you're talking about. Alright, I didn't come to you to discuss this matter."

Nitero's voice paused, then came out again with a half-smile.

"Jin, your record has been broken. Someone materialized the Heart Lake in less than a day."

Kim and Kate: "."

The latter straightened up abruptly and blurted out, "Impossible!"

“Master said that understanding the source of the mind and manifesting the lake of the mind is a long process. Without a certain amount of mental accumulation, it is impossible to manifest the lake of the mind in a short time.”

“That makes sense, but the world is a strange place, and anything can happen.” Netero sighed softly. “Just today, around nine o’clock this morning, I witnessed history with my own eyes.”

"Who is that person?" Jin suddenly became interested and sat up.

"Sean Zoldyck".

Zoldyck? Jin raised an eyebrow: "Is it the Zoldyck I'm thinking of?"

Netero chuckled knowingly, "I doubt anyone but his family would dare call themselves the Zoldycks."

"Indeed, the world's number one assassin family~ Just thinking about it is terrifying." Jin chuckled softly, suppressing his voice: "Now that the chairman has put it that way, I'd really like to meet this senior."

"His inner world, which manifested in less than a day, must be more interesting than some historical relics."

"Cough cough." A dry cough suddenly came from the other end of the phone. Kim's "senior" almost stunned Netero: "He's clearly still an 11-year-old kid, how come he's called a senior in your mouth?"

"Jin, when you have free time, try to get out into society. Don't just keep playing your stupid games or hide away in some deserted corner."

"Huh?" Kim and Kate didn't hear anything about the game, but they heard the word "11 years old" very clearly!

At 11 years old, the mind lake materialized in less than a day. If Kim and Kate didn't know Netero and weren't the kind of liar, they would have almost thought they had misheard!

The master and apprentice stared at each other stiffly, utterly bewildered.

A wicked old man, seeing that there was no sound on the other end of the phone, smiled mischievously and muttered, "It's better to lose your composure together than to lose it alone."
