Naruto: In the name of time, shock the ninja world!.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

Bright red flames gushed out of Itachi's mouth, forming a huge fireball, which made everyone's faces extremely red.

Feeling the scorching flames rushing towards him, Bai did not dare to be careless and dodged flexibly.

Unexpectedly, due to excessive physical exertion in the previous confrontation, he suddenly lost his strength, and his body staggered and shaky.

Suddenly, Bai's face changed and he supported himself on the ground with his hands to steady his body.

When Uchiha Itachi saw this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately moved close to Bai, and his fierce fist whistled towards Bai's face.

Faced with the fist shadow so close, Bai's pupils shrank and his body suddenly stiffened in place.

call--

A strong wind blew through the ends of his hair, and Itachi's fist stopped an inch in front of Bai's eyes.

"The winner is Uchiha Itachi!" Seeing this, the teacher immediately announced the result of the competition.

Bai just stood there in a daze, seemingly still unaware, until Itachi made the seal of reconciliation towards him, and then he realized that the competition was over.

"Itachi, you are really amazing. I lost again." Bai returned the favor and then said with emotion. His tone was very calm.

He doesn't care about winning or losing the competition. Although he is a boy, he doesn't have a strong desire to win.

Hearing Bai's praise, Itachi shook his head and said, "You are not worse than me. The power of ice escape is very strong. If it weren't for the lack of chakra, the outcome would be unpredictable."

Hearing this, Bai smiled slightly. No matter what, losing is losing.

Every time he competed with Itachi, he lost more than he won.

He felt that Itachi was the true genius, with balanced development in all aspects, and was extremely strong whether in physical skills, ninjutsu, or illusion.

Compared to Itachi, his title of genius is totally undeserved.

The two returned to the team and continued to watch other students' competition.

The battle between geniuses came to an end.

It was a feast for his eyes and he praised it repeatedly. The seniors and juniors on the training ground were also amazed.

Itachi couldn't help but look helpless when he heard his classmates' praise. It was like this every time, and he couldn't help but look at Bai for help.

But Bai couldn't even protect himself now and couldn't take care of him at all.

Just when Itachi was at his wit's end, a stone suddenly hit him. Itachi raised his head and looked in a certain direction based on his intuition.

"Brother Shisui!" He saw Shisui waving at him and smiling from the hidden corner.

Uchiha Itachi looked around. Now it was a real combat competition, and there were many more to come, so it would not be over in a short time.

Thinking of this, he quietly got up and slipped out. Everything went smoothly without alarming anyone.

Seeing Itachi sneaking out, Shisui's eyes flashed with surprise, and he teased: "I didn't expect Itachi to skip class. It's really rare."

Itachi blushed slightly at the teasing, and immediately asked, "Why is Brother Shisui in school?"

Hearing this, Shisui scratched his head. He definitely couldn't mention the matter of the secret guards to Itachi, and this was even more true for the mission assigned by His Majesty.

"On a long-term mission." He said vaguely, only giving a general idea of ​​the situation.

After he finished speaking, Itachi looked at him in confusion, and then asked, "What mission will be in the school? Can you tell me?"

After hearing this, Zhiguo shook his head decisively and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Itachi, this is a confidential mission. Have you forgotten the ninja regulations?"

The first lesson for all ninja school students is to recite the ninja code. Every rule must be memorized.

Suddenly, Itachi gave up the idea of ​​asking further questions.

Seeing this, Shisui patted his head and said with a smile: "I saw the battle just now. Itachi was very powerful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Itachi smiled shyly. In front of Shisui, Itachi always showed his childish side.

"It's okay, but it's far worse than Brother Shisui." Uchiha Itachi said with a slightly red face.

"Haha, it's not good to be too modest." A voice suddenly sounded, which scared the two of them.

Seeing the two people who were still in shock, Namikaze Minato smiled dumbly: "Sorry, I may have scared you."

"Greetings, Lord Minato." After all, he was a secret guard, so he calmed down quickly. After being frightened, Shisui saw Minato and immediately greeted him respectfully.

What followed was Itachi's whispered greeting. After all, he was skipping classes, and it was quite embarrassing to be caught by the minister in charge of education.

Minato smiled gently, looked at Shisui and asked, "Is this the mission assigned to you by His Majesty?"

After hearing this, Shisui looked hesitant, in a dilemma. In terms of rank, Minato was the Minister of Rites, a high-ranking official, and his questions should be answered.

After weighing the pros and cons, Shisui nodded slightly, said "hmm", and then fell silent.

Seeing this, Minato seemed to be thinking about something, then chuckled: "Since it is a task assigned by His Majesty, I am not in a position to ask."

"Seeing your assignment at school, I will greet all the teachers later and won't bother you."

Hearing this, Shisui opened his eyes and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Minato raising his hand and smiling.

"I knew nothing and asked nothing."

Having said this, Shisui could only smile bitterly and nodded in agreement.

At the same time, I wanted to slap myself in the face for talking too much.

Minato patted his shoulder, then turned his eyes away, the smile on his face instantly disappeared, and he looked at Itachi calmly.

"Uchiha Itachi, I remember it should be class time now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Itachi was struck by lightning, his body suddenly stiffened in place, with a bitter face.

"Minato-sama, I was wrong."

Seeing that he admitted his mistake with a good attitude, Minato reduced the punishment.

"In that case, copy the school rules ten times and give them to your class teacher later."

"Yes." Itachi responded with a frown on his face.

After hearing this, Shisui couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and his smirk made Itachi's eyes become resentful.

Just as the actual combat competition was about to end, Minato asked Itachi to leave, and Shisui also hid in a corner, always alert to the surroundings.

His eyes were always on guard, as if something was going to happen in school and he had learned the news in advance.

Minato's eyes flickered, his brows furrowed slightly, his mind drifting far away as he pondered.

"Your Majesty ordered Shisui to stay at the school on a confidential mission."

"Could it be... related to the prince?"

The shrewd Minato immediately thought of what happened during the grand court meeting.

Thinking of this, Minato couldn't help but look at the students coming and going on the training ground.

"According to what His Majesty said, His Highness is not too old, he should be under eight years old." Minato guessed.

After a quick scan, Minato couldn't help but feel a headache. There were too few clues, too many people who matched the age, and the area was too large to find anything.

"Alas...Your Majesty is really good at hiding things." Minato couldn't help but shook his head.

But then, he seemed to think of something, and remembered what Naruto had told him about his new friend that night.

"Is his name... Hoshino Makoto?!!" Minato couldn't help but say it, and then his eyes widened.

His intuition told him that the child was definitely not wrong.
