I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

"Let's see how it goes. If it's just a matter of being transferred back, then we'll wait until we've devised the Book of Seals before leaving."

But if things completely turn sour, then we'll use the "shrinking earth to an inch" technique to attack directly. In short, we should prepare for the worst!

After washing himself clean, Naraku calmly walked towards the riverbank.

As his true energy surged, mist swirled around him, revealing his perfectly sculpted physique.

"The early graduation assessment was indeed much more difficult than the normal assessment. In addition to the more comprehensive assessment items, I didn't expect there to be a practical assessment as well."

"Obito, don't be too nervous. I know your strength. As long as you don't make any mistakes, you will definitely pass the test."

"Lin, don't worry, I'm sure I'll pass."

"."

At the school's practical training ground, students who had already undergone theoretical and three-body techniques assessments were now waiting for the final practical assessment.

These people included not only classmates like Asuma, Kurenai, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara, but also Shisui Uchiha, who had just been promoted to second year.

While waiting for the final assessment, Asuma, Kurenai, and the others remained relatively calm, but Obito Uchiha was sweating profusely, prompting Rin Nohara to speak up and encourage him.

As for Uchiha Shisui, he stood quietly in place, resting with his eyes closed.

brush!

A short while later, figures appeared in front of Uchiha Shisui and the others using the Body Flicker Technique.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Next, we will proceed with the final practical assessment!"

The examiners for this assessment were the ones who arrived.

This time, there is no longer just one person being assessed, so there are more examiners. Basically, each student is assessed by two examiners, one for assessing and the other for recording.

Naraku was one of them.

Looking at the students across from them who were about to face the assessment, one of the examiners greeted them gently, seemingly to ease the tension of the assessment.

However, this obviously didn't have much effect.

With the examiners arriving, Asuma and the others, realizing that the real assessment was about to begin, became even more nervous.

Especially Obito Uchiha, he is completely unlike his future self after turning to the dark side. He was so nervous during just one test that his legs were shaking.

Faced with this, the examiner had no choice but to abandon any further words and immediately explain the rules of this assessment.

Chapter 25 Fight again

This practical assessment will be conducted in groups of people, but the rules will remain the same.

Candidates enter the training room first and then wait for the examiners to enter. Within an hour, they either defeat the examiner in charge of them or are not caught by the examiners.

The examinee under Naraku's supervision was naturally Uchiha Shisui.

"Naraku-sensei, I'll have to trouble you again next."

Upon discovering that his examiner was Naraku, Uchiha Shisui's eyes lit up. He approached Naraku and bowed politely.

In terms of demeanor, Uchiha Shisui naturally behaved very politely, but when he looked at Naraku, his eyes were clearly filled with fighting spirit.

"It's not really troublesome, as long as you don't think I'm being too strict." Naraku glanced at the other person.

"How could that be? I think it's a good thing for me if Naraku-sensei is strict," Uchiha Shisui said, scratching his head.

It must be said that Uchiha Shisui always had a very upright attitude.

But what if you think about the other person's future death?

It also gives people a very strong sense of sadness.

Naraku gave the other person a deep look.

Konoha is indeed a place not worth staying in.

Especially those in power now.

If it weren't for the protagonist's halo, this village would definitely have been destroyed by its own people later on.

"What should I do? I think I'm about to lose my temper."

Without continuing his conversation with Uchiha Shisui, Naraku turned to look at the forest beside him, murmuring to himself.

Naraku was also moved by the thought of Uchiha Shisui's fate.

Perhaps it was because I was about to leave that I unconsciously began to feel restless.

It's also possible that someone possessed a weapon and was motivated to kill.

In short, the thought of his more than ten years in the Root organization made Naraku's heart surge with murderous intent.

He was getting tired of the old pretense.

Maintaining a low profile within the root organization.

Kindness at the Ninja Academy.

For Naraku, all of these were merely disguises for better survival.

If someone needs to pretend when they lack ability, but still needs to pretend when they are highly capable, then all their efforts to become stronger have been in vain.

"Alright, now that you all know the rules, I hereby declare that this practical assessment has officially begun!"

Just as Naraku was filled with emotion, the examiner who was in charge of explaining the rules finished speaking and announced the examination.

In an instant, whether it was Uchiha Shisui or the other examinees, they all put aside their extraneous thoughts and focused their attention on the upcoming assessment.

The assessment begins.

The candidates were the first to enter the training field.

After a ten-minute wait, the examiners also entered the room.

Each examiner has a candidate they are responsible for.

Therefore, even if other candidates are unexpectedly discovered during the tracking process, no action should be taken.

From this, it's not hard to see that the difficulty of this practical assessment is much lower than the one Naraku experienced last time.

After all, with an increase in the number of test takers, there will be more traces left in the training field, which will increase the difficulty of tracking.

The difficulty has been reduced.

This is not because Asuma, the son of the Hokage, is among the test takers, but rather because of the current situation in the ninja world.

Although the Third Shinobi World War has not yet broken out, after several years of recuperation, the major shinobi villages have gradually recovered from the devastation of the Second Shinobi World War.

In other words, friction between the various ninja villages is gradually increasing.

Now, all that's needed is a trigger, and the Third Shinobi World War could begin immediately.

The tense situation in the ninja world naturally made all the major ninja villages eager to expand their military power.

Applying for early graduation requires permission before the assessment will be arranged.

Especially now with so many people applying.

If it weren't for the tacit approval of the Konoha leadership, there wouldn't be this assessment.

Similarly, under the shadow of war, it is perfectly normal to reduce the difficulty of the assessment.

Back to the assessment.

Naraku was unaware of the tracking progress of others, but his tracking was undoubtedly going very smoothly.

Since the last assessment, Uchiha Shisui, a genius, has indeed made great progress.

For example, when cleaning up traces, it is even more subtle and silent.

But this was clearly of no use to Naraku.

Even without using his divine sense, he easily perceived the traces left by Uchiha Shisui thanks to his superior five senses.

Finally, they tracked them all the way to the other end of the training field.

Here, a large number of rocks are scattered among the dense trees.

Just as Naraku arrived, a dense barrage of shuriken suddenly shot out from the canopy of several large trees around them.

A barrage of shurikens came hurtling towards him from multiple angles.

Faced with this situation, Naraku remained calm and, with incredible speed and agility, dodged all the shuriken.

brush!

Almost as soon as the shuriken missed, a figure darted out from behind a nearby rock with a speed that many Chunin could not match, and swiftly swung his sword at Naraku from the side.

The figure was none other than Uchiha Shisui.

Different from last time.

This time, with Naraku pursuing them, Uchiha Shisui seemed to have been waiting for Naraku's arrival and chose to take the initiative to attack.

Bang! !

Turn around and whip kick.

Before Uchiha Shisui's slash was even halfway through, Naraku, as if anticipating it, kicked him away the instant he got close.
