The child in front of me is only nine years old.

What was she doing when she was nine?

At that time, Master Ping had just passed away, and she entered the ANBU to learn wood escape. In the Anbu, there is the information left by Master Ping and the careful guidance of Tenzo Kakashi.

But at that time, she would probably fail miserably against the child in front of her. The last ninjutsu alone was probably enough to kill her a hundred times.

Uchiha Shizu's mood at the moment was both excited and helpless. He was as excited as when Shisui found her, but helpless because this child was not from his village.

Looking at the child who was still breathing heavily in front of him, Uchiha spoke quietly.

"It's a defensive counterattack style."

Uchiha Shizu used a positive tone, and Gaara didn't answer, taking silence as his default. But what she said next could not make him remain calm.

"Are you good at defensive counterattacks, or can you do nothing else but defensive counterattacks?"

"I……"

"Little guy, you are very strong, but your shortcomings are also quite obvious. You have to act as a target throughout the whole process, so naturally there is no better way to play than to defend and counterattack."

"..."

"You have a large amount of chakra and a good sense of combat. It is a good choice to use your advantage to engage in a tug-of-war of attrition after you find that you can't compete with speed. However, your so-called attrition is simply outrageous and is purely a battle of fire. Chakra has no restraints, no restrictions, and it doesn't lead the opponent's rhythm. A slight flaw can get you hooked, and you will be led by the opponent throughout the whole process, life and death."

"Your ninjutsu is great. Whether it's talent or ability, it can be seen that you have received professional training. But your shitty physical skills and your basic lack of positioning awareness have lowered your strength by several levels. "

Uchiha quietly crouched down and looked level with Gaara.

"First of all, your speed is too different." Uchiha Shizuku raised a finger, "And you don't pay much attention to skills. Maybe you don't know how to do it. Anyway, in my eyes, your movements have huge flaws. If Today is an actual battle with real swords and guns on the battlefield, and you can be killed by me hundreds of times."

"You haven't had any professional training, right?"

Gaara remained silent and nodded slightly.

"As of now, you can still achieve this level of strength in your current situation. Your natural abilities are the best among all the people I have ever encountered. But if this continues, you are wasting your talents."

When he said this, Uchiha Shizu looked a little strange. Her green pupils briefly lost focus, as if looking at someone else through Gaara.

Seven years ago, someone said the same thing to her. Seven years later, she had grown into a person who, although a little strange, lived up to that person's expectations.

But that person finally fell asleep forever in the midsummer six years ago.

"In the past, you may not have the conditions, or you may not have the right guidance. I dare not say that I am the right person, but I am willing to try my best."

"Gaara, are you willing to give me this chance?"

Uchiha Shizu spoke seriously. Seeing Gaara's slightly confused expression, her heart was high.

In the past, she probably never dreamed that the negotiation skills, psychological offensives, and even the art of war she had learned could be used in talking to a child.

The foundation for establishing any relationship is trust, and Gaara has a character that he doesn't know how to develop, and he doesn't want to approach strangers. Not to mention trust, approaching him rashly without knocking you off is already quite a loss of face. She had to Designed in this way, I have to say and do this to further and further shorten the distance between the two.

Fortunately, the child agreed.

"it is good."

It's probably because no one has ever spoken to him like this. Gaara acted very confused, very confused. He couldn't say anything except good.

"Okay." Uchiha Jing finally let go, her lips slightly raised, her eyes gentle but firm, "Then, let's make a three-part agreement."

Uchiha Shizu raised the first finger.

"First, I want you to resolve Shukaku's interference as soon as possible."

"I don't know if you can adapt to my training rhythm, but it's definitely not possible to accompany him through the eagle without rest every day like you did before. Even if I can accompany you for a while, I can't accompany you all the time. I am Konoha People, sooner or later, have to leave Sand Hidden Village. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Gaara nodded.

"it is good."

Uchiha Shizu raised a second finger.

"Second, I want you to stop killing people."

"Unless your life is in danger when I am away, or it is necessary for a mission, etc., at least you are not allowed to kill until you understand what is right and wrong."

This time Gaara finally gave a different reaction - his eyebrowless little brows furrowed again.

"Then if my life is in danger while you are here, can't I kill you?"

This time Uchiha Shizu also had a strange reaction. One of her eyebrows was raised halfway, and her eyebrows were also furrowed halfway. Her eyes were full of confusion.

Commonly known as, look at the expression of a fool.

"Huh? Are you kidding me, kid?" Jing said, "How can I put your life in danger if I'm by your side? Unless he kills me first."

"I'm not bragging. Everyone has a way to save their lives, and so do I. It's not that easy to kill me. If you have that skill, you can run away eight times."

"..."

Uchiha Shizu, the evidence that she is Uchiha Shuyi's biological daughter suddenly appeared at this time. Shuyi is not a serious and serious person, and neither is Uchiha Shizu. Otherwise, she could obviously say something like this in a very sensational and rhythmic way, and she was very good at it, but she didn't.

After being serious for so long, her vigorous life genes finally couldn't be suppressed anymore.

However, even such an informal promise was almost something Gaara had never experienced before. He opened his eyes and opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something. However, after a long time, he could not make a sound, and nothing came out.

It took a long time before he uttered a few words.

"What about the third?"

Uchiha Shizu raised a third finger.

"Thirdly, I hope you don't call me teacher."

"...Why?" Gaara was also confused this time.

"Why am I standing here? Why can I stand in front of you? You understand how many interests and thoughts are involved in this." Jing's expression was extremely serious. "I used to be a teacher in a ninja school, so I understand what a teacher is. Words mean something.”

"I will fulfill the responsibilities and obligations that a teacher should have, but I don't want this relationship to destroy my understanding of the noble profession of teaching."

"..."

"This request is quite strange..." Uchiha smiled quietly, "You can think of me as a spiritual mysophobia."

"Then what should I call you?" Gaara frowned again.

"Last name, first name, or whatever, it's up to you."

Markie once laughed at himself, saying that he was destined to be a mother. The older one was worried about the younger one, and finally the older one figured it out, and the younger one almost had a clue, but it turned out that the younger one seemed to have gone too far, and he started to worry again.

"grown ups."

"Why, don't you look down on that guy's strength?"

"No, that guy's strength is quite terrifying." Ma Ji frowned, "She has perfect control over the overall situation and details of the battle. She is the one setting the pace for every battle. Gaara was led by her throughout the whole process. There are a lot of flaws and loopholes, all of which have been taken out, and the Sand Shield has failed for no reason."

"Oh. Wouldn't that be nice?"

"But what's more terrifying about her is not her strength, but her grasp of the opponent's psychology! She uses both soft and hard tactics, step by step, and has just the right emotional cards. Sir, you know Gaara's situation." Ma Ji's eyebrows can kill a fly. , "He has never seen anything like this before, and he will be trapped to death by her."

Feng Ying did not answer his question directly, but just like last time, he took out another piece of paper.

"I've been curious for a long time. Why has such a fourteen-year-old child with such strength been almost never heard of before? Where did she come from?"

"So, the day she came, I asked someone to check."

"Speaking of which, this guy has some connections with Sunagakure Village."

Marky was silent and took the piece of paper.

"Uchiha Shuyi's child. When Uchiha Shuyi abandoned Uchiha and married into an unknown family, there was a lot of fuss. It is not difficult to inquire about it, but my people found out some other interesting things."

"The Kingdom of Water has been on good terms with the Kingdom of Fire since it changed its name six years ago, and she was included in the task that was an opportunity for the two countries to establish friendship."

"The strange relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha clan, which seems to be in harmony and yet apart from each other, began to ease about three years ago, and I heard that she is the one who mediates between the two forces."

"The dark ninja man in Konoha suddenly began to let go of his real power about two years ago. She was the one who played a role in this."

"Konoha and Kiri successfully deepened their cooperation more than a year ago, and she was responsible for one of the bargaining chips."

Feng Ying looked up at the person in front of him, opening and closing his mouth.

"Marky, do you understand what I mean?"

"..."

"I never thought this was a simple guy. From beginning to end, I thought more than you, but I still made this decision."

"I'm not afraid of her trapping Gaara to death, because even if it is for the benefit of Konoha and the cooperation between the two villages, she will not be able to raise Gaara to me, let alone instigate him to rebel. Even if she is At best, Gaara will only be pro-Konoha from a standpoint, he will always be from Sunagakure Village."

"This step has been taken. Sunagakure Village's pro-Konoha stance has been made public. Maki, Gaara's stance is not a problem at all, there is no problem at all."

"And Gaara follows such a person, how much can he learn? In terms of ability, strength, mentality, he has everything to learn. Will one day he can become so calm and balanced? Forces from all sides can protect a land, but can also easily provoke or appease the emotions of others, or even a group of people, or even use these emotions to achieve their own goals?"

Luo Sha turned around and looked out the window at the vast desert.

There are few distinct seasons in the desert. The scenery is the same every day, 365 days a year. But maybe from now on, some people will not be limited to this desert.

"I don't believe in Konoha, nor do I believe in Uchiha Shizu, but I believe in Gaara."

"He is my son and I believe in him."

"You said before that he couldn't do it..."

Marky didn't know why, maybe his mind became strange after waiting for a long time with Uchiha, so he said this.

After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong, but he couldn't take back what he said before it was too late.

"Yeah, no." Luo Sha lowered his head slightly, "That's why we have to find a way to make him do it..."

Ma Ji looked at the silent Feng Ying and said nothing for a long time, until he saw Feng Ying recover his emotions and raise his head again.

"But... I still don't understand what the connection between Uchiha Shizu and Sunagakure Village is."

"Oh, that's right." Feng Ying raised his eyebrows, "She doesn't have any connections, but her teacher has a lot of connections."

"who is it?"

"Prince Ping."
