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

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi merely glanced at these things, but his eyes narrowed when he saw Shisui Uchiha use the Sharingan during the assessment.

"They've already awakened the Sharingan. Kagami's descendants seem to be even more outstanding than I imagined."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also very surprised that Uchiha Shisui, who was only five years old, had already awakened the Sharingan.

He was lost in thought.

According to the report, Uchiha Shisui clearly already possessed the strength of a genin, and with the addition of a Sharingan with one tomoe, his strength was comparable to that of a chunin.

Crunch!

Suddenly, just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was pondering the matter of Shisui Uchiha, the office door was pushed open.

You should know that this is the Hokage's office. If someone tries to come in, the guards outside will definitely report it.

At this moment, someone entered the office without the guards' notification.

There is no doubt that only a very few people in the village are capable of performing this feat.

And the people at present.

"Hiruzen, you've already read Uchiha Shisui's report, haven't you? He awakened the Sharingan at such a young age; we must keep him under control."

Upon entering the office, the visitor, with a gloomy expression, made a suggestion to Hiruzen Sarutobi behind the desk.

"Danzo, you're going too far!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up at the newcomer, and especially when he heard what the other person said, he picked up the pipe next to him, took a puff, and said with feigned helplessness.

That's right, the visitor was Danzo, the leader of the Root organization.

Hiruzen Sarutobi received the report from the Ninja Academy immediately.

Danzo also received information about the assessment immediately.

Well, the provider of this information is naturally Naraku, the one who carried out the mission.

"Extreme? No, you're too complacent. Don't forget what Tobirama-sensei told us. The Uchiha are an evil clan, and we must treat them with the utmost vigilance." Danzo was very dissatisfied with Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude and shouted at him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head: "Of course I won't forget Tobirama-sensei's instructions, but you must understand that the Uchiha clan is also a part of the village."

We shouldn't target them too much before they do anything against the village, otherwise it could easily cause trouble.

"Preventing Uchiha Shisui from passing the test this time was already the maximum we could do!"

"Hmph, I think it's you who's too weak." Danzo sneered.

Tobirama-sensei's choice of Hiruzen as Hokage was indeed a mistake.

The other party had no awareness of what it meant to be a Hokage, which is why the evil Uchiha clan has not been dealt with to this day.

If he were the Hokage, the Uchiha clan wouldn't be living such a comfortable life now.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo clearly had differing opinions on how to deal with Shisui Uchiha and even the Uchiha clan.

"In short, don't worry about Uchiha Shisui for now!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said, dissatisfied, after Danzo accused him of being weak.

But compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi's dissatisfaction, Danzo was even more annoyed. He said angrily, "Hiruzen, you will regret this!"

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said, staring directly at Danzo, each word distinct and deliberate.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's posture was nothing short of a blatant humiliation to Danzo, leaving him speechless as he turned and left.

boom!

The door, which had been open for only a short while, was slammed shut.

After the unpleasant parting, Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked his pipe, his gaze fixed on the window.

"I need to find an opportunity to get in touch with that kid, Shisui."

Uchiha Shisui's displayed talent made him impossible to ignore.

Although he was not as extreme as Danzo, he was still wary of the Uchiha clan.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have tacitly allowed Danzo to send people to suppress Uchiha Shisui.

The purpose was to prevent the Uchiha clan from gaining power through Uchiha Shisui.

The Uchiha Shisui trial, from its initial announcement to its eventual failure, caused quite a stir within the school.

However, this commotion did not last long and soon subsided.

Whether it was due to the Uchiha clan's arrogance or the superiors' skillful handling of the situation, this incident did not affect Naraku.

After waiting silently for several days and finding that no one had come looking for him, Naraku realized that he had safely weathered the crisis.

Therefore, he returned to his former state.

During the day, he uses shadow clones to teach at the ninja academy in his place, while he stays at home diligently cultivating immortality.

And just like that, a week passed in the blink of an eye.

There are many training grounds in Konoha.

As dusk fell, two figures moved swiftly through the dense woods in a secluded training ground in the village.

Because of the incredible speed, his figure became a blur.

As for the identities of these two figures, they were none other than Naraku and his shadow clone.

When Naraku and his shadow clones moved through the forest, they were not positioned one in front of the other, but rather they moved in parallel.

Suddenly, as if by prior arrangement, Naraku and his shadow clone simultaneously unleashed a barrage of shuriken at each other while moving.

Crackling~

Both sides' shuriken were crackling with brilliant lightning.

As they shot towards each other, the shurikens clashed rapidly in the woods between the two sides.

Lightning flashed and sparks flew.

The same attack method was used, but the results were completely one-sided.

Naraku's shuriken overwhelmingly knocked away or even shattered the shuriken fired by the shadow clone, before the shadow clone accurately shot its own shuriken.

Faced with the incoming shuriken, the shadow clone unleashed even more chakra and swiftly kicked off a passing tree trunk.

Click!

The immense force trampled a deep dent into the tree trunk, while the shadow clone used the momentum to change direction and land rapidly on the ground below.

Correspondingly, Naraku also landed not far away.

"Thunder Escape·Earth Walk!"

"Thunder Escape·Earth Walk!"

Naraku and his shadow clone used the same attack method again, quickly forming hand seals, then crouching down and placing their hands on the ground in front of them.

thunderbolt!!!

A dazzling burst of lightning erupted.

Dense bolts of lightning erupted from both sides' hands, then swept rapidly along the ground towards each other.

This attack showed a clearer difference in power compared to the lightning wrapped around the shuriken earlier.

The lightning unleashed by Naraku not only approached the shadow clone at a faster speed, but its scale and power were also significantly stronger.

The raging lightning easily tore and shattered the ground in its path.

At a point significantly closer to the shadow clone, the two bolts of lightning collided violently.

In just a moment, the lightning unleashed by the shadow clone was shattered by the lightning unleashed by Naraku.

The lightning, which had swept through the enemy lines with unstoppable momentum, did not pause but quickly engulfed the shadow clone as well.

Bang!

The shadow clone disappeared in the raging lightning. Its body stiffened for a moment, and then it turned into smoke and vanished.

Chapter 10 The Idea of ​​Shadow Clones

"Using true qi to perform ninjutsu is indeed far more powerful than chakra ninjutsu."

The dissipation of the shadow clones caused Naraku to stop releasing lightning.

Slowly rising, Naraku gazed at the spot where his shadow clone had vanished.

There, the surrounding ground was scorched and cracked by violent lightning strikes.

Naraku nodded secretly at the power, feeling extremely satisfied.

He would come here specifically to fight his shadow clone, not out of boredom, but to test his true energy in more detail.

In fact, during this period of time, in addition to working hard to improve his cultivation, he had been testing his true qi in various ways.

For example, using true qi instead of chakra in ninjutsu and taijutsu.

The quality of true qi is undoubtedly superior to that of chakra.

However, Naraku was also aware that his current cultivation level was still very shallow, so in order to maximize the use of true energy to enhance his strength, he thought of combining true energy with ninja body illusion.

The results of these days of testing are satisfactory.
