Naruto: Infinite Holy Grail
Chapter 1 Xia Yan and Itachi!
My name is Ye Xia, now called Uchiha Xia Yan, yes, the three words Uchiha are well-known to him, and in the world of Naruto, it is a family that is born with cheats.
He had KOed Sipulei’s Sharingan before, but he never expected that he would travel through time and space. From his name, we know that he is now a member of the Uchiha clan. Although he has not opened the Sharingan yet, it is only a matter of time.
However, what made him depressed was that he and Itachi were actually twins. Because Itachi was born one minute earlier, he was the older brother and Uchiha Itachi was the younger brother. Of course, that was not the problem. The Uchiha clan was going to be exterminated, and it was his cheap younger brother who was going to exterminate them.
As we all know, members of the Uchiha clan are basically younger brother-con, but I don’t know whether they are older brother-con. Who can guarantee that Uchiha Itachi will not wield the knife to kill himself?
As for the fact that one can escape the fate of being killed as long as one becomes strong enough, the problem is that Uchiha Itachi opened the Mangekyō Sharingan at the age of thirteen. His aptitude is at an incredible level. It is already amazing to have one. Even Xia Yan himself didn’t know whether he could open the Mangekyō Sharingan at the age of thirteen.
More importantly, Uchiha Itachi also has Obito to help him, so it’s difficult to fight one-on-one, let alone one-on-two? Besides, this is Konoha’s plan to eliminate Uchiha, what if Danzo leads the Anbu to attack personally?
“Oh, what a bad luck! Why was I born in Itachi’s era? I don’t even have enough time to become stronger!”
Looking at the adorable little boy who was less than four years old beside him, Xia Yan almost couldn’t help but strangle him to death. However, seeing his bright eyes full of admiration, Xia Yan couldn’t bear to do it. After all, he was his younger brother. Moreover, even if he killed Uchiha Itachi now, the extermination of the clan would not change. It would just be a matter of changing someone to carry out the task. The root cause was still with the Konoha high-level officials.
“Brother, what are you thinking about? Why don’t you play with me!” Uchiha Itachi supported himself on the ground with his hands and slowly crawled over. He looked at Xia Yan with a pair of bright and pure eyes in confusion. He had no idea that this brother whom he admired was just thinking about whether to kill him.
Uchiha Itachi has been very mature since he was a child, but he only matured after witnessing the cruelty of the Ninja World War. Now he is no different from a three-year-old kid. In his impression, this brother who is about the same age as him is very mature, just like his father, so he admires him very much.
“I’m stupid…Oh, no, my lovely brother, I’m wondering when you will grow up quickly!” Xia Yan almost said the classic words of Uchiha Itachi in the future, but fortunately he changed it in time.
“Pfft~, my brother is the same age as me, why do you always act much older than me!” Uchiha Itachi pouted with his puffy cheeks. He looked as cute as he could be, completely different from the cold look he would later have who would only say “My stupid brother”.
Xia Yan was almost so cute that he bled from his face. Itachi was so adorable when he was a child.
“Okay, you play by yourself, I’m going out for a while!” Although Itachi was very cute, he was in no mood to play with children all the time. He was almost four years old now, and there were only nine years left before his clan was exterminated. He had to become stronger as soon as possible, otherwise he might really be exterminated by this cheap brother.
“Hmph, it’s always like this. Father is busy all day, and so is my brother!” Uchiha Itachi looked aggrieved and as if he was about to cry.
“It’s all because of you who forced me to do it!” Xia Yan muttered in his heart. After all, he was the son of the clan leader and a rich second-generation. It was his job to pretend to be cool and pick up girls, but now he didn’t have the time to do so.
Of course, this was just a thought in his mind, but he smiled and said, “Sorry, brother has a lot of things to do, so I won’t accompany you today. Let’s talk next time!”
“Hmph, next time again, you’ve said it many times!” Uchiha Itachi didn’t buy it. He crossed his arms and looked unhappy.
Xia Yan was somewhat helpless. Facing such a cute little boy, he really couldn’t say anything excessive. He said with an idea in his mind, “How about this, when I come back, I’ll buy you some of your favorite three-color meatballs?”
When Uchiha Itachi heard the words “three-colored meatballs”, his ears twitched and the dissatisfaction on his face disappeared, but he looked like he was struggling. On the one hand, he wanted his brother to play with him, and on the other hand, he wanted to eat meatballs.
After hesitating for a while, he finally couldn’t resist the temptation of Wan Zi and nodded with difficulty.
“Fortunately, children are easy to appease!”
Seeing that Itachi finally compromised, Xia Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, took a few kunai and went out.
There is a small waterfall on the back mountain south of Konoha Village. It is the place where he practices. Few people come here on weekdays. When you come to the waterfall, you will see wooden targets hanging on the big trees next to it, and there are some very shallow fist marks on the trunk of another big tree.
Now he is not even four years old and has not started to refine chakra. The only thing he can do is to practice his physical skills and shuriken techniques. You know, in his previous life, he envied Uchiha Itachi’s very impressive shuriken techniques.
As for Taijutsu… In the eyes of ordinary ninjas, Taijutsu is just a subsidiary, and Ninjutsu is still the mainstream. However, Xia Yan knows the importance of Taijutsu. Emperor Kai is the man who almost ended up with a single kick.
The Uchiha clan has been passed down for thousands of years, and has collected countless ninjutsu, among which there must be the practice method of the Eight Gates. The reason why no one practices it is probably because the practice conditions are too harsh.
If he had a choice, Xia Yan didn’t want to practice the Eight Gates, but he was familiar with the plot and knew that on the surface, this world seemed to be a world of open and secret struggles among the five major villages, but in fact it was just a fight between the two sons of the Six Paths Sage.
Without Indra and Ashura’s chakra, even if Xia Yan relied on Itachi or Sasuke’s eyes to open the Eternal Mangekyō, it would be useless. He could only play a supporting role. Although it might be okay to hide behind Naruto and Sasuke, as a time traveler, seeing those beautiful women being silently sent away for the needs of the plot, it would be better to die now.
“My magic power has finally been fully accumulated. This time, crossing the world barrier consumed a considerable amount of magic power!”
At this moment, a lazy voice sounded in Xia Yan’s mind. It was a woman’s voice. This scared Xia Yan. Crossing the world barrier? Could it be that his identity as a crossover was exposed?

Although it is hard to believe, even time travel has happened. At this point, no matter what strange things happen, Xia Yan will not lose his mind.
In the space of consciousness, a golden holy grail half the height of a person stood in front of Xia Yan. On the top of the holy grail sat a woman in a white dress. Her skin was so white that it didn’t look like human skin. She had long silver hair, delicate facial features, and a lazy look on her face.
This woman is very beautiful!
Of course, what surprised Xia Yan was not the beauty of this woman, but the fact that she looked exactly like Chess’s wife in the Holy Grail War, that is, Alice von Einzbern!
Of course, Xia Yan knew that this woman was not the real Irisviel, but the will of the Holy Grail manifested in the form of Irisviel. Remember, this was a contaminated Holy Grail. Although it was an omnipotent cauldron, it always distorted people’s wishes in an ugly form. Kiritsugu’s father was ruined by her.
“My Lord, why are you looking at me like that?” Let’s call her Irisviel. She sat on top of the Holy Grail with her slender legs slightly raised and a mischievous smile on her face.
As expected, she was different from the real Irisviel, but also different from the Holy Grail in Xia Yan’s impression. It seemed that she had no ill intentions, which made Xia Yan feel confused.
“If I’m not mistaken, you should be the legendary Holy Grail of the Universal Cauldron, but how did you appear in this world? And why do you call me Master?” Xia Yan asked puzzledly.
Alice was a little surprised. She didn’t know how Xia Yan knew her identity. She already knew it when she came to this world. This was not the world she was in before. Logically, Xia Yan shouldn’t know it.
But she was just a [prop] and didn’t want to figure out why her master knew her identity.
“Since the Holy Grail has chosen you, you are mine. Is there anything strange about calling you my Lord?” Irisviel smiled elegantly. “As for why I appeared in this world, even I don’t know. The only thing I know is that when I was cut in half by a servant, I was pulled by a mysterious force and came to this world. It took nearly four years to refill the magic of the Holy Grail.
“A certain servant… This should be referring to King Daigo!” Xia Yan muttered in his heart.
Xia Yan asked some more questions, and Alice answered them one by one obediently. According to her, due to the mysterious power and the travel through time and space, the Holy Grail has undergone great changes. It has not only become more powerful, but has also been purified once. In other words, the current Holy Grail is no longer the contaminated Holy Grail, but the real Universal Cauldron.
“Since you are known as the omnipotent cauldron, can you fulfill my wish?” Xia Yan did not continue to dwell on this issue. Instead of pursuing the past, it would be better to consider the future. The Holy Grail is known as the omnipotent cauldron, and its endless magic power alone is enough to turn a person into a god.
“What’s wrong? Does my Lord have a wish that he wants to fulfill?” Irisviel said with a smile.
“Of course!” Xia Yan nodded and asked, “I want to gain powerful strength, the power to control my own destiny. Do you have any way to help me achieve it?”
Hearing Xia Yan’s wish, Alice Feil propped up her delicate chin and thought silently. After a while, she looked up at Xia Yan again and said, “Because the Holy Grail has undergone tremendous changes, it has now become an independent system. Even I can’t completely control the Holy Grail!”
“What do you mean?” Xia Yan frowned slightly.
“It’s very simple. Although I am the embodiment of the Holy Grail’s consciousness, I cannot completely control it. It has become an independent individual. According to you humans, the Holy Grail now exists like a universal system. If my Lord wants to obtain something from the Holy Grail, he must exchange it for something!” Alice explained.
Xia Yan was a little dumbfounded. This plot sounded just like the systems described in those online novels. What on earth had the Holy Grail become?
“Anyway, just tell me what to do first!”
Alice did not waste any time. She drew a line in the air with her right index finger, and a screen half a meter wide and one meter long appeared in front of Xia Yan. Looking at the information on it, he almost vomited blood.
I saw that the screen was divided into two parts. The first part on the left was a red card with a red spear printed on it. In the lower middle there was the words [288 magic crystals for one draw]. The part on the right was also a card, but in the lower middle there was the words [2800 magic crystals for ten consecutive draws], and there was also a line of prompt [Ten consecutive draws will result in a complete item].
Isn’t this the same model as those money-sucking mobile games I played in my previous life? And if you draw ten times in a row, you will definitely get a complete item. In other words, if you draw alone, you may get fragments or something like that?
This is really a huge pitfall. Once the setting of fragments comes out, it is simply a complete money-sucking scam.
Alice pointed her finger again, and a smaller screen appeared next to it, showing Xia Yan’s physical fitness data and a fragment backpack.
“Name: Uchiha Xia Yan!”
“Strength: E– (The weakest human, but it’s also normal. After all, the master is still a human child!”
“Durability: E”
“Agility: E–
“Magic power (chakra): None! (There is no energy in the body!)
“Lucky: B! (Very lucky!)”
“Noble Phantasm: None!”
This is Xia Yan’s current approximate value. Except for luck which is B and durability which is E, the rest are E-. It can be said that it is too low. Ordinary people probably have E. But there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, Xia Yan is only three years old and less than four years old. He is still a child.
The above values ​​are the approximate values ​​detected by the Holy Grail for Xia Yan. Strength represents pure physical strength, endurance refers to a person’s physical defense and physical strength, etc., agility refers to movement speed and nerve reaction speed, and as for magic power… According to Irisviel, magic power is similar to chakra, both are a manifestation of energy.
There is no need to explain too much about the final luck and treasure.
“Durability is E, which shows that my physical training in the past few months has taken effect. My physical fitness has greatly improved!” Xia Yan was very satisfied. It seemed that he was indeed ahead of others. His cheap brother was still playing in the mud at home.
Chapter 3 first draw! (Old version)
It took Xia Yan a full half hour to fully understand the Holy Grail system. In short, for some reason, the Holy Grail has now become an independent system, and its capabilities have been greatly enhanced. It can now truly realize any wish of its owner.
For example, in this lottery mode, you only need to pay enough magic crystals and have incredible luck to get any magic, treasure, and various strange eye techniques in the Type-Moon world, such as the Infinite Sword System, the Mystic Eyes of Death, King Daigo’s Avalon, or Gilgamesh’s Sword of Heaven and Earth.
“Hey, what is this magic crystal and how can I get it?” Xia Yan asked puzzledly.
“My Lord, just call me Irisviel!” Irisviel blinked her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. “Magic crystals can be said to be the crystallization of magic power. You know, humans are the most primates in the world. Their vitality and souls are the best source of magic power!”
Irisviel was smiling, and her smile was very beautiful, but the words she said were full of indifference towards life. It could be said that she had the face of an angel but the heart of a devil.
“You mean, I can get magic crystals by killing others?” Xia Yan was stunned. Isn’t this simply forcing himself to destroy the world?
“It doesn’t have to be human, as long as it’s a living creature. But as I said just now, humans are the most intelligent creatures in the world. Please make the decision yourself, my Lord!” Alice spread her hands.
Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no restriction on humans. Although he was not a saint who was compassionate, he was not a murderer. If it was an enemy, he would kill without mercy, but if it was just a stranger, he would find it a little unacceptable.
After solving the problem of the magic crystal, Xia Yan felt relieved. With the help of the Holy Grail, it might be possible for him to reach the top of the ninja world in the future.
“By the way, Irisviel, I just saw that the first draw is free, can I start drawing now?” Xia Yan finally remembered the most important thing. This is his first draw. Having played many crappy mobile games, he knows that there must be good stuff in the first draw.
“Sure!” Alice nodded.
After getting the answer, Xia Yan looked at the screen in front of him again. The lottery was divided into single draw and ten consecutive draws. The first single draw was free, but the ten consecutive draws were not free.
“My luck is B, so I should be lucky. I hope I can draw something good!”
Thinking about it, he clicked the draw button, and suddenly, a white light flashed. It didn’t last long, and the white light gradually dissipated. A golden card appeared in front of Xia Yan. Looking at the six words on the card, Xia Yan’s heart couldn’t help but twitch.
“It’s actually the Noble Phantasm: Twelve Trials!” Xia Yan swallowed.
That’s right, it’s Hercules’ Noble Phantasm, a conceptual Noble Phantasm that is almost like a bug. Possessing this Noble Phantasm is equivalent to having twelve lives, and it is also immune to attacks from Noble Phantasms or magic of rank B or below. Even if you kill someone once with a Noble Phantasm of rank A or above, the same attack will not work the next time.
This is simply immortality.
“Noble Phantasm: Twelve Trials!”
“Rank: B!”
“Type: Anti-personnel treasure, maximum effect is for one person!”
“Features: Transform your body into a tough armor, nullifying all attacks below level B. Two: Cannot kill twice using the same method. Three: If you have enough magic power (chakra), the number of lives lost can be slowly restored!”
After reading the introduction, Xia Yan was completely dumbfounded. He didn’t expect that he would draw such a heaven-defying treasure, twelve lives, and as long as the chakra is huge, the number of lives killed by others will be restored. This makes him almost immortal, and he is also immune to all B-level attacks, including physical and magical!
According to the statistics given by the Holy Grail, the power of B-level magic is equivalent to that of A-level ninjutsu. In other words, even if Xia Yan stands still now and is hit by Naruto’s Rasengan, nothing will happen. This is simply a BUG.
“My lord is so lucky that he can win the Twelve Trials of Hercules!” Alice was very surprised.
Hearing Irisviel’s exclamation, Xia Yan finally came back to his senses, took the card in his hand, and asked, “How do I receive this ability?”
“My Lord, all you need to do is crush this card!”
Xia Yan nodded and crushed the card. Then the card turned into golden light and entered his body. In an instant, a flood of information poured into his mind. He knew all the information about the Twelve Trials. It was indeed worthy of being a mutated Holy Grail. This method was almost an enlightenment.
After coming out of the consciousness space, the sky had gradually darkened. Looking at the sunset on the top of the distant mountain, Xia Yan couldn’t help but smile. He saw hope, the hope of reaching the top of the ninja world.
“It’s almost time to go back, or my cheap brother will make trouble again!”
Putting aside his lofty ambitions, Xia Yan headed for home. Of course, he went to the street to buy some of Itachi’s favorite three-color meatballs. When he got home, Uchiha Mikoto had already prepared dinner. Itachi was lying on the table, looking so bored that he didn’t know whether he was dead or alive.
“I’m back!”
Xia Yan greeted him and walked in in slippers. Uchiha Mikoto was wearing a scarf and holding a plate of food. When she saw Xia Yan, she couldn’t help but smile dotingly, “Welcome back, go wash your hands!”
“I understand, Mom!” Looking at Uchiha Mikoto’s gentle and doting smile, Xia Yan felt helpless. In essence, her blood did flow in his body, and it was natural for him to call her mom. However, after all, he was reincarnated with all her memories, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
It was just a name, although it was a little awkward, but Xia Yan quickly adjusted himself, put the three-colored balls in front of Itachi, who looked like he had lost all hope in life, and said with a smile, “My lovely brother, are you angry? If so, then I can’t give you these things!”
Itachi’s ears moved. Hearing that Xia Yan was actually going to take the meatball away, he couldn’t bear it anymore. He snatched it away and said with a pout, “This is something you promised to give me. You can’t go back on your word!”
Turn on lazy reading mode
Chapter 4 The Limits of Humanity! (Old Version)
“Hmm? Is there something you forgot to tell me?”
Seeing that Itachi was protecting his child, Xia Yan couldn’t help but want to tease him. He pinched his round face and started to teach him a lesson like an elder brother.
Itachi grinned, his face almost deformed, and after feeling the pain, he quickly said, “Thank you, brother!”
For Xia Yan now, the only fun is to tease this cheap brother. In his previous life, he also liked Itachi, who was simply a cool and handsome guy with great style. Now he can tease him openly in the name of the eldest brother, which is a very wonderful thing to think about.
“Remember, I am your brother. You must be obedient in the future, okay?” Xia Yan pinched his face again and continued to train him.
Itachi didn’t want to do this at all, but he had admired this brother since he was a child, and he was a little bit in awe of him. In addition, the younger brother should listen to his older brother, so he had no choice but to nod and said, “I know, brother, let me go quickly, it hurts!”
“Well, that’s good to know!” Xia Yan nodded with satisfaction, and couldn’t help but gently pinched Itachi’s face, causing him to roll his eyes.
Well, the legendary Itachi has now completely turned into a little punching bag. Xia Yan felt that his brother-control soul was burning, which made him break out in a cold sweat. No way, could it be that because he is a member of the Uchiha clan, his brother-control soul has awakened?
“No, I’m a real sister-con, not a brother-con!” Xia Yan shook his head quickly and threw this idea out of his mind. It was too scary.
Seeing her two children playing so harmoniously, the smile on Uchiha Mikoto’s face became even more gentle and doting. For her, the most important thing was to enjoy this kind of family happiness.
Now is the period of the Third Ninja World War, and Uchiha Fugaku has taken his clansmen to the battlefield, so he is not at home.
Early the next morning, while Itachi was still asleep, Xia Yan asked Uchiha Mikoto for some money and went out, directly to a place that specialized in custom-made ninja tools.
Starting today, he will increase his training to focus on physical fitness. To achieve this, the first step is to carry weights.
As soon as he entered the door, the boss’s eyes began to light up. The round fan logo on Xia Yan’s clothes was very eye-catching. This was the Uchiha, one of the strongest and most powerful families in Konoha Village. It was definitely a big fish for the boss.
“Dear customer, what kind of ninja tools would you like to customize?” the boss said with a smile on his face.
Xia Yan looked around the shop. The walls were covered with all kinds of ninja tools, including axes, long swords, sickles, kunai and shurikens. It was very diverse, but he was not interested. He said directly, “I want to customize some weights. First, 30 kilograms, then 50 kilograms, 80 kilograms, 100 kilograms and 150 kilograms!”
After hearing Xia Yan’s words, the boss broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and he couldn’t help but look at Xia Yan in surprise. It was well known that the Uchiha clan was proficient in fire escape and shuriken techniques. He couldn’t understand why this kid wanted to customize so many weights. Was he planning to go the physical training route?
“My dear friend, as a ninja, ninjutsu is the most important. Taijutsu can only be regarded as a second-rate auxiliary. You spend all your time practicing Taijutsu. Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?” The boss was kind-hearted and made a special reminder.
“Boss, just tell me if you can make it to order!” Xia Yan rolled his eyes. Little kid? After all, he was an 18-year-old adult in his previous life.
“Of course, but this much weight is not cheap. Let me give you a discount and charge you fifty thousand taels!” said the boss, spreading out his palm.
Xia Yan nodded. Although 50,000 taels was a lot, it was nothing for a rich second-generation like him. He took out 10,000 taels from his ninja tool bag and handed it to the boss. “This is the deposit. I’ll come to pick up the goods in three days and pay the rest!”
Watching Xia Yan leave, a trace of envy flashed in the boss’ eyes. He was indeed worthy of being an Uchiha. A child under four years old could casually spend 50,000 taels to purchase ninja tools. This would be impossible for other children to do.
The efficiency of this ninja tool shop was quite good. Xia Yan got what he needed early in the morning on the third day. After paying the money, he began his own practice.
First of all, he had to carry a 30-kg weight, which was the limit for Xia Yan, whose endurance was only E. Even walking was very difficult after carrying it. After all, he was just a three-year-old child. If it were the Earth in his previous life, an adult might not be able to run with a 30-kg weight.
It is now the 47th year of Konoha, and there is still a month until the New Year. The Third Ninja World War is also beginning to draw to a close. Ninjas continue to return to the village, either bringing with them the wounded or the bodies of their dead companions, but those people are called heroes of Konoha.
“Five months have passed in the blink of an eye. I can almost start refining chakra!”
In front of the waterfall, Xia Yan sat cross-legged. After five months of hellish training, his physical fitness had greatly improved. Now he could carry a weight of 50 kilograms without feeling tired. He called on Irisviel to digitize his physical fitness.
“Power: E++!”
“Durability: D-!”
“Agility: D-!”
“Magic power (chakra): none!”
“Lucky: B!”
This is his current approximate value. The past five months can be regarded as his explosive period. His strength has increased from E- to E++, advancing five stages. His endurance has increased from E to D-, also advancing four stages. His agility is even more terrifying, directly advancing six stages, while his chakra and luck have not changed.
Although there has been great progress, what makes Xia Yan feel helpless is that it becomes very difficult to improve physical fitness after reaching the D-level. Alice said that this value is divided according to the level of Heroic Spirits. No matter how much the physical fitness of humans changes, they are still just humans and cannot be compared with Heroic Spirits. No matter how much they train, they can only stop at C at most in the end, and it is impossible to go higher.
After all, humans rely on wisdom rather than bodies. No matter how powerful a ninja is, he still relies on chakra. Without chakra, Princess Kaguya would be beaten by ordinary ninjas. I have never heard that she can suppress the ninja world with her physical body alone.
“Irisviel said that there is a substance in the Holy Grail that can transform heroic spirits. If I’m lucky enough, I might be able to draw it. It seems I have to find a way to improve my luck level!” Xia Yan smacked his lips. He still had a long way to go.
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!
Chapter 5 Uchiha Fugaku! (Old version)
Heroic spirits transform matter!
This is a special substance that the Holy Grail possesses after mutation. It can transform a human’s physique into that of a Heroic Spirit without any drawbacks. If you must put it simply, it is like a Heroic Spirit with a physical body and will not disappear due to lack of magic power. To put it simply, it is both a human and a Heroic Spirit.
However, this kind of thing is too against the will of heaven. To put it bluntly, if living creatures are divided into levels, gods are the first-level creatures, then heroic spirits are the second-level, and humans are the third-level. In other words, this heroic spirit transformation substance can be directly understood as something like a life evolution drug, allowing the human life essence to evolve beyond the limit.
Because it is against the will of heaven, it is extremely difficult to obtain and you can only rely on luck.
Unfortunately, Xia Yan’s luck level is only B, and the chance of obtaining the Heroic Spirit Transformation Material is very slim. Fortunately, the Holy Grail has mutated. If he is lucky enough to draw those props that enhance physical attributes, he can raise his luck level.
“Brother, you are here again, go back quickly, Dad is back!”
At this moment, a little black-haired boy appeared behind Xia Yan. It was Uchiha Itachi. Compared to five months ago, he had become a little more sensible. It was probably because he had started practicing and suffered a lot, so his mind began to mature.
However, this little Weasel had been trained by Xia Yan for so long, so he still felt some awe when facing him, which could be seen from the way he looked at his brother.
“I understand, Itachi!” Xia Yan nodded.
He knew the reason why Uchiha Fugaku came back, because Uchiha Fugaku had come back from the battlefield once a month ago, and before leaving, he had instructed that the next time he came back, he would take him and Itachi to the battlefield together.
Of course, it’s not because of lack of combat power. In the words of Uchiha Fugaku, as the clan leader’s child, he must be more sensible than other children. Only those who have experienced the battlefield can become better.
Looking at the innocent little face of Uchiha Itachi, Xia Yan sighed slightly. He was afraid that after this time, the innocent Itachi’s will would be distorted by the cruelty on the battlefield. He would be obsessed with the so-called peace, an obsession so deep that he could massacre his entire clan and his parents.
Yes, for the sake of peace, for the entire Fire Country and Konoha Village, killing one’s own relatives for the sake of justice may sound noble, but humans are not saints, and how many people in the world can be so selfless? Performing saintly deeds as a human being is already a huge distortion.
The two returned home together. Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto were talking, and hearty laughter could be heard from time to time.
Xia Yan greeted Itachi and walked in. Uchiha Fugaku immediately put away his smile, with a hint of fatigue on his face. After all, he had just returned from the battlefield, and it was good enough for him to save his life. Xia Yan knew that he might have opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, because a hint of sadness could be seen in his eyes. It seemed that an important companion had sacrificed himself to save him.
“Xia Yan, Itachi, welcome back!” Uchiha Mikoto was as gentle as ever. Her belly was already very big. She had been pregnant seven months ago. After five months, her belly was getting bigger and bigger. She would give birth in three months at most, which also meant that Nisukeko would be born.
“Xia Yan, Itachi, have you two practiced well?” Compared to Uchiha Mikoto, Uchiha Fugaku is much more majestic.
“Dad, my shuriken technique has been successful!” Itachi nodded and said.
“Yes, you are worthy of being my son!” Uchiha Fugaku nodded with satisfaction. As for Xia Yan, he was not worried, because he had personally tested Xia Yan’s shuriken technique when he came back last time. Both the power and the angle were impeccable. He is probably even better now.
“Xia Yan, you and Itachi go and get ready. Follow me to the battlefield tomorrow. There, you will see what a real ninja is!” Uchiha Fugaku’s face became solemn. In fact, he had thought about it for a long time whether to take Xia Yan and Itachi to the battlefield. Although they did not have to fight with the enemy, he was always afraid of accidents. However, he was the head of the clan, and his children must be good enough. In the end, he decided to take them.
“Fugaku, you have to protect Xia Yan and Itachi well!” Uchiha Mikoto had worry in her eyes, but she did not refute. As a wife, she had to base everything on her husband’s ideas.
“I understand. Just stay at home and take good care of your baby. By the time our baby is born, the war will be almost over!” Uchiha Fugaku nodded.
Early the next morning, Xia Yan and Itachi were ready to go, bringing with them some ninja tools such as kunai and detonating tags, just in case. Itachi seemed a little nervous as he stood next to Xia Yan, his eyes looking around, after all, this was a battlefield, where people would die.
Uchiha Fugaku had already been waiting for them outside the clan territory, and there were dozens of ninjas behind him. They were all elites of the Uchiha clan, and each of them had opened the Sharingan.
“Are you ready?” Uchiha Fugaku glanced at Xia Yan and Itachi and asked.
“We can set off now!” Xia Yan nodded, feeling a little excited. For the past five months, apart from practicing, he went to the forest every day to hunt animals. All this was for the magic crystal.
But just like what Alice said, humans are the most intelligent creatures on earth. The magic crystals produced by animals are too few. Killing a snake that is more than ten meters long only drops three magic crystals. After five months, he had killed most of the large animals in the forest, but in the end he only obtained 2,580 magic crystals, which is more than 200 short of 2,800.
The battlefield is undoubtedly a good place to collect magic crystals. Although he has not started to refine chakra, with the Twelve Trials, he will be fine unless a senior ninja uses S-level ninjutsu to deal with him. Of course, even if he is killed once with an S-level ninjutsu, the next time, this S-level ninjutsu will be useless.
Xia Yan didn’t believe that he would meet twelve jonins and each of them mastered different S-level ninjutsu. If that was the case, then his luck level should not be B, but E– which is lower than that of a spearman!
Chapter 6 Shisui! (old version)
“Okay, let’s go!”
Uchiha Fugaku gave an order and took the lead to run towards the entrance of Konoha Village. The others quickly followed. Xia Yan and Itachi were protected in the middle by these people. After all, they were the sons of the clan leader. Even if they were nothing in the eyes of others, they definitely had a respected status for the Uchiha people.
Now the Ninja World War has reached its final stage, and precisely because of this, the fighting has become even more intense, as if it were a last gasp, and everyone wants to seize this only chance to turn the tables.
Konoha is now under attack from all fronts. Originally, it was at war with the Sand Village, but later the Hidden Mist Village intervened. In addition, the Cloud Village was also coveting the fertile land of the Fire Country and also sent an elite force to the border of the Fire Country to cause trouble. The same is true for the Iwagakure Village. It is truly surrounded by enemies.
Moreover, Tsunade, one of the three ninjas, left, and Orochimaru was absorbed in his research and did not go to the battlefield at all. It can be said that Konoha’s combat power was greatly weakened, and at the beginning there was only Jiraiya in charge of the overall situation.
Fortunately, Golden Flash Minato Namikaze emerged as a rising star, and relying on his Flying Thunder God Technique, he killed more than fifty senior ninjas of the Iwagakure in one breath, which scared the people of the Iwagakure so much that they finally agreed to sign a peace treaty. Of course, they signed it as a defeated country.
The Sand Village also suffered heavy damage and was unable to fight again, so it fled back. Now only the Cloud Village and the Mist Village are still fighting against Konoha.
As one of the strongest families in Konoha, the Uchiha clan was sent to the battlefield of the Hidden Mist Village. It must be said that this move was played beautifully. As we all know, the Uchiha clan is good at fire jutsu, and the Hidden Mist Village is good at water jutsu, and water restrains fire. The Hidden Mist Village was inherently suppressed by the Uchiha clan, which directly led to heavy casualties among the Uchiha clan.
Even the head of the clan, Uchiha Fugaku, almost died on the battlefield. Fortunately, he was rescued by a member of the same clan. This was also the opportunity for Uchiha Fugaku to open the Mangekyō Sharingan.
After the great battle, the Uchiha clan suffered heavy casualties and suffered tremendous damage to their strength.
After a day and a night of full-speed travel, Xia Yan and his group finally arrived at the battlefield of Water Country. The situation was already in chaos. Not only were the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Leaf Village fighting, but some escaped ninjas from the Cloud Village, the Rock Village, and the Sand Village also joined the battle.
These fugitive ninjas lost their companions and loved ones on the battlefield, and they were filled with resentment in their hearts. However, the Sand Village and the Iwagakure were already planning to negotiate peace with Konoha, so some ninjas directly became fugitive ninjas and ran to the Water Country battlefield in groups. They were not simply targeting Konoha, but everyone was killing each other, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
“team leader!”
After arriving at the camp, people passing by greeted Uchiha Fugaku. Most of them were from the Uchiha clan, and only a few were used as cannon fodder by Konoha.
Uchiha Fugaku looked dignified, but still nodded, and then said to Xia Yan and Itachi, “I still have something to do next. You two can walk around the camp, but remember one thing, don’t go far away from here. You saw it on the way here, there are wars everywhere. Once you encounter ninjas from the enemy village, the other party will not show mercy just because you are children! Especially Xia Yan, you are Itachi’s brother, you must protect your brother, understand?”
“I understand!” Xia Yan nodded, but he felt a little restless. He wanted to go to the battlefield as soon as possible. He only needed more than two hundred magic crystals to carry out the first ten consecutive draws.
Alice Phil said that the chance of drawing a rare item in the first ten consecutive draws is twice as high as usual. This is why Xia Yan is so anxious. With the twelve trials in hand, his life safety is indeed guaranteed, but his own combat effectiveness is very low. He can’t always passively take a beating when encountering enemies in the future. He is not a masochist.
Uchiha Fugaku was very confident in Xia Yan. He knew his child had been very smart and mature since he was young. After giving him a few instructions, he left. After all, he was the captain of the squadron and could not be away from his post for too long.
“Brother, I want to go around and have a look by myself!” Itachi looked up at Xia Yan, his face a little pale, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. He saw many cruel scenes along the way, and the broken limbs and arms everywhere caused him a great shock.
Xia Yan frowned slightly and wanted to stop him, but then he sighed. Everyone has his own path to follow. Itachi is a very opinionated person and it is impossible for him to follow the path he has planned. In this case, it is better to let him choose for himself.
“Okay, but don’t go too far. If you encounter the enemy, pull the flare. Don’t take risks alone, okay?” Xia Yan touched Itachi’s little head and took out a flare from the ninja tool bag.
“Brother, don’t treat me like a child. I can judge for myself what to do!” Itachi pouted, a little unconvinced, but still took Xia Yan’s flare.
Looking at Itachi’s receding back, Xia Yan shook his head, turned and left. He also wanted to walk around, maybe he could encounter a few enemies, and then the more than two hundred magic crystals would be somewhere to go.
War is cruel. Along the way, Xia Yan saw many wounded soldiers. Some had their eyes stabbed out, and some had their feet blown off by explosive tags. Being blinded is relatively not a big deal, but if even the feet are blown off, then the road to becoming a ninja is completely ruined. This is definitely a devastating blow to a ninja.
“I won’t be one of these people!” Xia Yan narrowed his eyes and muttered, his desire to become stronger becoming more urgent.
“You can’t survive on the battlefield relying on willpower alone!”
Suddenly, a voice came from above. Looking up, he saw a boy who looked about twelve or thirteen years old. A gleam of light flashed in Xia Yan’s eyes. It turned out to be Uchiha Shisui.
“Are you the genius ninja Uchiha Shisui that my father often mentioned?”
The name of Shunshin Shisui has been widely spread in Konoha and Kirigakure. There is no one in the Uchiha clan who doesn’t know him, not to mention that Xia Yan already knew him in his previous life.
“Captain, you are too kind!” Uchiha Shisui jumped down from the tree, walked to Xia Yan in three or two steps, and said with a smile on his face, “Since you know my name, can you tell me your name?”
Chapter 7 Brother Control? (Old Version)
“Uchiha Xia Yan!”
Xia Yan stretched out his hand. He was very interested in this legendary ninja, Shunshin Shisui, Kotoamatsukami… Although this person was rarely mentioned in the original work, wherever he was mentioned, he was full of praise. He could be said to be a very mysterious character.
Uchiha Shisui was slightly stunned. He felt that the four-year-old child in front of him was too mature, which made him admire him very much. A smile appeared on his face, and he also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xia Yan. “Xia Yan? I remember your name!”
“It’s my honor to be remembered by the genius Shisui!” Xia Yan also smiled. This guy’s Kotoamatsukami is very powerful. It would be great if he could get it.
Shisui had no idea that Xia Yan was planning to take his Sharingan, otherwise he would have turned around and left immediately.
“Xia Yan, I know you were brought to the battlefield by the captain for internship, but I want to advise you that people die here every day, so it’s better for you not to run around everywhere. The person who just left was your brother Uchiha Itachi, right? He was going in the direction where the war broke out, so you’d better go and find him back quickly!” Shisui advised.
“Has the fight started now?” Xia Yan frowned slightly. Although he knew that Itachi was protected by the plot, he was still afraid that something might happen to him. He quickly turned around and chased in the direction Itachi left.
“I’ll go with you!” Shisui followed. “Although the war is drawing to a close, the Hidden Mist Village and the Cloud Village are still holding out, and some escaped ninjas from the Sand Village and the Rock Village are stirring up trouble. These people are bloodthirsty and have lost their minds because of the death of their companions and relatives. They are killing each other there. Many ninjas from Konoha have also joined the battle!”
“Is that why Dad left in such a hurry just now?” Xia Yan thought of Uchiha Fugaku’s expression before he left, and thought that he had already rushed to the battlefield.
Both of them were moving very fast, and soon they heard shouting and explosions coming from not far away. The battle seemed to be quite intense.
“That must be your brother!”
There was a valley in front of him. Itachi was standing above the valley, and below him was the center of the battlefield. It seemed that Itachi was not in any danger.
“Itachi!” Xia Yan quickly came to Itachi and saw that this guy was still in a daze, which made him a little angry, so he grabbed his ear directly.
In pain, Itachi finally came to his senses, “Brother, why are you here!”
“You asked me why I was here. I should have told you when you left me not to go too far. But you ran straight to the battlefield. What if something happened?” Xia Yan flicked Itachi’s forehead, causing him so much pain that his eyes were filled with tears.
However, he was not dissatisfied. Instead, he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. In his opinion, Xia Yan was so angry because he cared about his younger brother very much. Itachi was very happy.
“Brother, why are these people fighting each other? Can’t we sit down and talk about the problem?” Itachi frowned, his eyes fixed on the ninjas fighting below. The screams, broken limbs, and the smell of blood, this place has turned into a Shura hell.
“Itachi, you have to remember one thing. When you are hungry, only you can feel it. If you want to understand each other, you have to connect your feelings together, but this is absolutely impossible. Do you understand?” Xia Yan felt that he needed to teach this silly brother a lesson. If possible, it would be best to change his thinking.
Xia Yan didn’t like his younger brother to bear the burden of slaughtering the entire clan for the sake of peace in the Fire Nation. It was too heavy.
Xia Yan didn’t know why he wanted to save this little boy so much. Maybe it was because as time went by, he had become more and more like a brother. After all, he was an orphan in his previous life. Not to mention parents, he didn’t even have brothers or sisters.
“This is such a simple and easy to understand truth, Xia Yan, this is not something a four-year-old child can say!” A gleam of light flashed in Uchiha Shisui’s eyes. He was deeply touched by Xia Yan’s words. Indeed, only he could feel that he was hungry, and others could not understand it at all.
“Who are you?” Itachi looked at Shisui with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. He felt that this young man seemed to have a very good relationship with his brother, which made him feel a sense of crisis.
Uchiha Shisui was so smart that he immediately noticed the vigilance in Itachi’s eyes, which made him laugh. He looked at Xia Yan and said, “It seems that your brother likes you very much and is afraid that I will snatch you away from him!”
“No way, isn’t Itachi a brother-con?” Xia Yan was stunned.
However, he forgot that the people of the Uchiha clan, especially the Uchiha Fugaku lineage, seemed to have the attributes of brother complex and brother complex. For example, Sasuke was brother complex.
On the surface, Itachi is just a brother-con, but in fact, he is also a brother-con. When he was a child, he regarded Shisui as an older brother and admired and worshipped him very much. In the later period, he was able to destroy his own clan for Konoha, half of which was because he was influenced by Uchiha Shisui’s will.
You can imagine how serious of a brother complex Itachi is.
And now for Itachi, Xia Yan is his only brother. In Itachi’s eyes, this brother who was born only one minute earlier than him is very mature, which makes him very much admire and worship him.
“Itachi, don’t worry, I won’t take your brother away!” Shisui smiled slightly, a little envious of the relationship between Itachi and Xia Yan, he also wanted to have a brother or something.
Itachi puffed his lips and looked at Uchiha Shisui with suspicion, but seemed to have thought of something. His little face turned slightly red and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Xia Yan. Speaking of which, Itachi was a little tsundere and was absolutely unwilling to admit his own thoughts and ideas.
“Hey, hey, why are you blushing as a man? I’m a 100% straight man and I will never be turned gay by you!” Seeing Itachi’s blushing face, Xia Yan was a little dumbfounded. His target was the goddess Hinata.
“Water escape technique, water long bullet technique!” |
Suddenly, a huge long stream of water rushed up from the bottom of the valley, targeting Xia Yan and the other three. It turned out that the place where the three of them were standing was too conspicuous, and someone finally discovered them. It was the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village who took action.
Chapter 8 Open your eyes! (Old version)
“careful!”
Shisui was very alert and reacted immediately. He stood in front of Xia Yan and Itachi, and quickly formed seals with his hands.
“Stop it, let me do it!”
Xia Yan also came back to his senses, grabbed Shisui and rushed in front of the two of them. Are you kidding? This is the best way to intervene in the battlefield. With the twelve trials in hand, a mere C-level water escape can’t hurt him at all.
As soon as he finished speaking, before Shisui could react, he jumped down from the top of the valley and rushed head-on towards the huge water dragon, which scared both Shisui and Itachi.
“You are too impulsive. You actually want to use your body and ninjutsu to fight!” Shisui was extremely anxious. Although ninjas were powerful, their physical bodies were not strong. They could be killed even by an ordinary sword, let alone powerful ninjutsu.
A C-rank ninjutsu is so powerful that it can smash even a rock into pieces, let alone a human body?
“You are indeed a little brat, daring to look down on the fighting style of ninjas!” The Mist Ninja below was stunned when he saw Xia Yan’s actions, and then his face was full of sarcasm. There was cruelty in his eyes, and he was obviously a man who was bloodthirsty. Seeing that Xia Yan and the other three had ninja tool bags, he didn’t care which village the other ninja was from, so he attacked directly.
“Usually, people who say such absolute words are long-time idiots who are about to die. How can a mere Chunin be qualified to talk about the word absolute?”
Xia Yan swooped down and communicated with Alice through his consciousness, asking her to start digitizing her body values. In an instant, Xia Yan saw all the information about this Mist Ninja.
“Power: E!”
“Durability: E!”
“Agility: E!”
“Magic power (chakra): D! (Overall evaluation: elite Chunin!)”
Except for the chakra which is rated D, the rest are E. It seems that he is just a ninja who specializes in ninjutsu. Against an opponent of this level, Xia Yan’s Twelve Trials can perfectly crush him.
“Scatter, water dragon!”
There was no fancy posture, just a simple five-fingered fist, smashing down from top to bottom.
A seven or eight meter long water channel and a small fist, the two were not proportional at all, and then when they touched, the water channel collapsed directly, and could not hurt Xia Yan at all, all of which were offset by the passive effect of the Twelve Trials.
“No…Isn’t it?”
The Mist Ninja was stunned. What did he see? A little kid actually broke his water escape technique with his bare hands. This was even more shocking than an ant eating a banana, a human fucking the sun, or a mouse marrying a cat.
“You dare to be distracted when fighting against the enemy. It seems that you are not a qualified ninja. Let me send you back to the training ground today!”
As he finished speaking, Xia Yan had already pounced in front of the Mist Ninja. A kunai appeared in his hand. A cold light flashed, with a streak of blood. The Mist Ninja fell to the ground with his hands covering his neck with fear in his eyes.
Above, Shisui and Itachi were also staring at the scene in a daze. They had no idea what had just happened. A C-level jutsu was actually broken up by a person who had never refined chakra with his bare hands. This was really unbelievable. Not to mention seeing it, they had never even heard of it.
Xia Yan held the kunai that was still dripping with blood, staring at the Mist Ninja who died with unwillingness and resentment. That look filled with extreme resentment would definitely make an ordinary person unforgettable for a lifetime. However, what puzzled Xia Yan was that he didn’t feel much in his heart, as if it was as simple as killing a chicken or duck.
“So that’s how it is. I’ve gotten used to the identity of Uchiha Xia Yan, and the Ye Xia who didn’t even dare to kill chickens and ducks in his previous life is a dead man after all!” Xia Yan looked down at the kunai in his hand, where there was still warm blood residue. Soon, his eyes brightened.
That’s right, now I am Uchiha Xia Yan, and the place where I live is no longer the era that praises peace. This is an era where people can die at any time. Those who cannot keep up with the times will surely be washed away by the tide of the times and eventually buried in history. Xia Yan absolutely does not want to be a person buried by history.
“Alright, from today on, there will no longer be any Ye Xia, only Uchiha Xia Yan of the Uchiha clan!”
He cut off the past. For him, this was his real place. Unlike sitting in front of a computer screen where one could only see the passion on the surface, living in this world, besides passion and touching moments, there was also darkness. The more outstanding a person was, the easier it was for him to fall into the vortex of darkness.
When his mind was connected, Xia Yan’s black pupils suddenly changed and turned scarlet. Two magatama hung on both sides of his eyes. He took this opportunity to activate the Uchiha clan’s bloodline limit – the Sharingan!
However, since he had not yet started to refine chakra, the Sharingan only appeared for a moment and then disappeared.
“The feeling just now should be that my Sharingan has opened!” A hint of joy flashed in Xia Yan’s eyes. He didn’t expect that his Sharingan would open in this way. Although he could not use the Sharingan due to lack of chakra, after he refined the chakra, he should be able to control these eyes freely.
“Xia Yan, be careful!”
At this moment, a cry of surprise was heard. Xia Yan frowned slightly, feeling a strong murderous intent approaching from behind. He turned his head and saw that it was a ninja who launched a surprise attack while he was in a daze. Judging from his clothes, he should be a ninja from the Cloud Village.
“I succeeded!”
This Cloud Ninja held a long sword in his hand, the blade was wrapped in lightning, and it pierced Xia Yan’s back with extremely powerful penetrating power…
Ding!
What made the Cloud Ninja dumbfounded was that the little kid in front of him was fine, but the long sword in his hand broke into two pieces. This was simply incredible.
“what is going on………..”
Sizzle!
The sound of kunai piercing the flesh was heard, and the Cloud Ninja felt a sharp pain. He looked up, and what caught his eye were a pair of eyes full of indifference. Those dark eyes were like two black gems, smart and beautiful, but it was the owner of these eyes who pierced his abdomen with a kunai.
Chapter 9 Ten consecutive draws! (Old version)
“Why are there so many self-righteous people?”
Seeing the confusion on the face of the Cloud Ninja, Xia Yan pulled out the kunai and kicked his body away. Then, a pile of magic crystals appeared around the body of the Cloud Ninja.
“Aliceviel, pick up the magic crystals on the ground!” Xia Yan ordered.
He killed two ninjas in one breath, and both of them were elite Chunin level. Each of them had more than a hundred magic crystals, which only Xia Yan could see. At this moment, the ground was covered with a layer of purple crystals, which looked very beautiful.
“Got it, my lord!” Alice’s eyes narrowed into crescents. These magic crystals are the crystallization of magic power, which is a great tonic for the Holy Grail.
Others could not see that all the magic crystals on the ground floated up and rushed into Xia Yan’s body in an instant.
“My Lord, you have harvested 270 magic crystals this time. You now have 2,850 magic crystals. You can do a ten-draw streak!” Alice reminded.
Xia Yan’s heart moved. He didn’t expect that he could get so many magic crystals just by killing two elite Chunins. He had killed countless creatures in the past five months, but he only got 2,580. On average, a snake that was more than ten meters long only had three magic crystals. The disparity in proportion was really too huge. Humans really were the most intelligent creatures on earth.
“I understand. Let’s talk about the lottery later!” Although Xia Yan really wanted to draw the lottery right now, Itachi and Shisui were both here, so it was inconvenient and he could only be patient for a while.
Shisui and Itachi jumped down from the top of the valley and quickly came in front of Xia Yan. The two of them kept looking at him as if they had seen a ghost. They saw clearly just now that whether it was breaking the water escape technique with one punch or breaking a long sword with their physical body, these were not things that ordinary people could do.
The only way to do this is to practice the Lightning Body Technique of the Cloud Ninja Village, and it must be practiced to an extremely high level. However, Xia Yan obviously has not practiced the Lightning Body Technique. What’s more, he has not even started to refine his chakra.
“It’s really surprising, your strength is amazing!” Shisui was amazed, but he didn’t ask Xia Yan how he did it. After all, ninjutsu is like magic. Once it is seen through, it is meaningless.
For example, Uchiha Obito, when he first appeared, he relied on the Kamui eye technique to show off, and even the Five Kage were helpless. But after his identity was revealed, the secret of the eye technique was exposed, and Kakashi alone beat him up.
In fact, the same is true for Xia Yan’s twelve trials. Even though he just pretended to be awesome, if the secret of his treasure was known by others, there would definitely be a way to deal with it. Isn’t it just killing twelve times at once? A big ninja village can still get twelve different S-level ninjutsu if it pays a price.
So under normal circumstances, ninja battles are mostly assisted by physical skills, and then the final kill is done by ninjutsu. Once it is exposed too early, it means failure. Shisui is not the kind of person who doesn’t know what’s good for him, so he won’t ask about Xia Yan’s secret.
“It’s just a little trick, it’s nothing. It’s also the fault of those two ninjas who were careless, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to succeed so easily!” Xia Yan waved his hand and said indifferently.
Indeed, he was only relying on the Twelve Trials to launch a sneak attack, and it could be said that he had caught the opponent off guard.
“Brother, have you started learning ninjutsu?” Itachi asked puzzledly.
“No, but let dad teach us when we go back this time!” Xia Yan did not reveal the secret of the Twelve Trials, even though the other party was his younger brother Itachi. After all, he could massacre the entire Uchiha clan in the future, even his parents.
“Hmm!” Itachi didn’t know what Xia Yan was thinking, and looked at Shisui provocatively. He thought that the reason why Xia Yan didn’t tell his secret was because of the presence of an outsider like Shisui, which made him very happy.
“Let’s go, it’s too chaotic here. It will be hard to escape if we get caught in a melee!” Shisui glanced at the corpses all over the ground and frowned. In another valley not far away, the shouts of killing were still deafening and the battle was very fierce.
Xia Yan nodded. Anyway, he had already obtained the magic crystals for ten consecutive draws, so he could retreat almost immediately. He did not want to expose his strength too early. Once involved in a war, he would surely shine with the strength of the twelve trials, and while he would become famous, troubles would also follow.
He didn’t want to be involved in the darkness of Konoha so early. The most important thing was that he hadn’t caught his sister Hinata yet. He should take it easy for a while and slowly accumulate his strength in secret. As long as he was strong enough, the darkness in the village would not be able to corrode him.
The three of them quickly left the battlefield, but no one knew that Uchiha Fugaku had been watching the situation here. He didn’t have any bad intentions, he just wanted to protect Xia Yan and Itachi.
“Strange, a C-level water jutsu and a full-strength sword attack from an elite Chunin are ineffective. Is Xia Yan’s body made of iron?” Uchiha Fugaku frowned slightly. For the first time, he felt that he seemed to be unable to see his own child clearly.
However, he did not hesitate for long and soon showed a happy smile. The stronger Xia Yan was, the happier he would be as a father. Maybe in the future he could take over his position and become the patriarch of the Uchiha clan and the head of the guard department.
After returning to the Konoha camp, Shisui was called away by someone, probably for a mission, and Itachi also left alone to rest. Xia Yan finally had some free time. Without saying a word, he immediately sat cross-legged and began to communicate with the Holy Grail with his consciousness.
“Irisviel, I’m going to start the lottery!” Xia Yan went straight to the point.
“I will obey my Lord’s orders!”
Alice nodded, and gently drew her right hand in the air. The lottery panel just like last time appeared in front of Xia Yan. The one on the left was a single draw, and the one on the right was ten consecutive draws.
Xia Yan took a deep breath. It was time to test his luck. The first ten consecutive draws would definitely yield something good. Now that he had twelve trials to his credit, his defense was the best in the ninja world, but he had no means of attack. So this time he hoped to draw an offensive treasure or magic.
“They say a single draw can bring about a miracle, but ten consecutive draws can ruin your life. I don’t believe that Lucky B will draw something useless!” Xia Yan gritted his teeth and clicked on the ten-consecutive-draw button.
Suddenly, golden lights flashed before his eyes, first the first card, then the second, the third… Xia Yan frowned and prayed in his heart, hoping that the card would not be useless.
Chapter 10 Is It Really Lucky B? (Old Version)
Ten consecutive draws involve drawing ten cards in total. As ten golden lights appear, the cards are put together in a row of three. When the golden light fades away, the cards are slowly turned over, starting from the first card.
“Straight to Death Demonic Eyes…Fragments plus one!”
“Twisted Demon Eye Fragment plus one!”
“EA fragment plus one!”
“The King’s treasure fragment plus one!”
“Avalon Shard plus one!”
“Plus one for the fragments of the Direct Death Demon Eye!”
“Twisted Demonic Eye Fragment plus one…!”
Later, two more fragments of the Distorted Mystic Eye appeared. Xia Yan swallowed nervously. The last one must not be a fragment. As for what would appear, it was hard to say. If it was Bajiquan or something, he would really cry. Bajiquan seemed very powerful, but it was nothing in the world of Naruto. The Eight Gates of Ninjutsu was much more powerful than Bajiquan.
“Congratulations to my Lord for obtaining the unique magic – Infinite Sword System!”
The last card was finally turned over, and Xia Yan’s eyes widened and he almost drooled. He didn’t expect it to be the Infinite Sword. This is a very powerful inherent magic. If you master this magic, it would be equivalent to Xia Yan possessing the Infinite Sword.
Moreover, they are all swords of the Noble Phantasm level. How many people in the Naruto world can resist them? They are simply the strongest spears.
“Is my luck level really just B?” Xia Yan reacted, but was still a little confused. The first time he pulled a single draw, he got Twelve Trials, and now the first time he pulled ten consecutive draws, he got Infinite Swords. This kind of luck is at least EX level.
“My Lord, you are lucky. Infinite Sword is a very powerful inherent magic. With it, it can solve your urgent problem now!” Alice smiled and was happy for Xia Yan. “But my Lord, please don’t forget one important thing. Although inherent magic is powerful, it consumes a lot of magic power. You can’t use this inherent magic in a short period of time!”
After hearing what Irisviel said, Xia Yan finally came back to his senses. Yes, it was too early to be happy now. Although the Infinite Sword System was powerful, it required enormous magic power to continuously project the treasures, and using inherent magic also required a huge amount of chakra.
It is indeed too early for Xia Yan to use Infinite Sword System now, which makes him a little depressed. It is a bit like a level 1 alt-account that suddenly gets a level 10 orange weapon. He can only look at it but cannot use it.
After crushing the card, the information about the inherent magic of Infinite Sword Formation directly flooded into his mind, and he mastered it in an instant. Not only the knowledge of inherent magic, but also the prototypes of many treasures were familiar to him. As long as the chakra was sufficient, even the holy sword of King Daigo could be projected.
“I’ll go ask Shisui for the method of refining chakra later!” Xia Yan thought to himself. He is four years old now and has reached the age where he can refine chakra. He believes Shisui will not refuse.
After receiving the Infinite Swordsmanship, there were still nine fragment cards, which made Xia Yan a little helpless. According to what Irisviel said, thirty fragments must be gathered to synthesize a complete ability. Now there are five fragments of the Distorted Mystic Eye, one of the Death Eye, one of the King’s Treasure, one of Avalon, and one of EA…
It would be a long and arduous journey to gather all thirty of them.
After putting all the fragments into his backpack, Xia Yan exited the Holy Grail space and then went to Uchiha Shisui to ask for the method of refining chakra.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed quietly, and the fierce fighting situation has eased. During this month, Xia Yan hardly went out. Instead, Itachi ran out from time to time. It is obvious that he was probably thinking about the meaning of the existence of ninjas in his little head.
However, Xia Yan ignored it. After getting the method of refining chakra from Shisui, in order to be able to use the Infinite Sword System perfectly as soon as possible, he almost worked day and night to refine chakra. Of course, he also did not fall behind in physical skills.
“Power E++!”
“Durability: D-“
“Agility: D–”
“Magic power (chakra): E (comprehensive evaluation – just a rookie who has just learned how to refine chakra, not even a Genin!)”
“Magic: Inherent Magic Unlimited Sword System!”
This is his current physical value, except for the magic power increasing from E- to E, there is no other change. He himself can feel that in terms of physical fitness, he is about to reach the limit of his age, and even with the increase of age, his strength and endurance can only increase to C at most, not even C++.
“It seems that it is imperative for the heroic spirit to transform matter!” Xia Yan exhaled deeply and stopped refining chakra.
But there is no need to worry too much about these things. In fact, with the Twelve Trials, his physical defense is already extremely terrifying. It’s just that he is a little greedy. Although the passive effect of the Twelve Trials is immunity to magic below level B, if his physical fitness is strong enough, this passive ability will be greatly enhanced.
I remember that Hercules took the pseudo-spiral sword of Red A head-on and remained unscathed. You know, if used in conjunction with a longbow, the power of the pseudo-spiral sword reaches A level. In other words, Hercules’ ability to withstand attacks has been greatly enhanced by relying on his own physical fitness and the passive ability of the Twelve Trials.
An A-level treasure or magic, this kind of power, if it were in the world of Naruto, would actually surpass S-level ninjutsu. If you have to compare it, it would be equivalent to a full-strength attack from the tailed beast. The complete form of Susanoo is so terrifying that it could split two mountains in half with one strike.
In other words, if Xia Yan’s physical fitness reached the level of Hercules, there is no doubt that he could block the attack of the complete form of Susanoo with his physical body alone. What an amazing power!
This is also the reason why Xia Yan wants to obtain the substance transformed by the heroic spirit so much. As long as he possesses the life essence of a heroic spirit, he can break the limits of human beings and increase his strength and endurance to B or even above A.
Chapter 11: Funeral! (Old Version)
“Brother, are you awake?”
Just then, Itachi’s voice came from outside. Xia Yan came back to his senses and closed the attribute panel. This kind of thing could not be rushed, and his current strength was already very strong, so there was no need to rush.
“I’m awake, come in,” Xia Yan replied, but he knew in his heart why Itachi came here.
He and Itachi have been on the battlefield for a month and have experienced everything they should have, so Uchiha Fugaku plans to send them both back to Konoha to avoid any accidents.
Itachi pushed the door open and saw Xia Yan just standing up, which made him slightly stunned. “Brother is really hardworking. Dad always said that I practice very hard, but compared with brother, I am still far behind!”
“Itachi, you didn’t come here to praise me, did you?” Xia Yan rolled his eyes. This kid’s mouth was getting sweeter and sweeter. He said whatever nice things he wanted. He had been working so hard for a long time. Was it necessary to say it every day?
Itachi was a little embarrassed, but he quickly became serious and said, “Brother, Dad told us to go back to Konoha today. It seems the war is about to end!”
“Well, I’m ready and can go now!” Xia Yan nodded, not surprised.
Afterwards, Xia Yan and Itachi left the battlefield under the leadership of Uchiha Fugaku and spent a day returning to Konoha Village. They did not encounter any danger or trouble along the way.
“What a pity. The battlefield is a great place to collect magic crystals. But never mind. It’s better to keep a low profile now. Although I’m not afraid of being schemed against by others, I don’t want to live a life where I’m schemed against by others!” Xia Yan thought of the great goddess Hinata in his mind.
Of course, there is also his sister-in-law Hyuga Hanabi. When this girl grows up, she seems to be as good as Hyuga Hinata. No, she’s even prettier. Well, the sisters are pretty good.
This guy, even before he has hooked up with Hinata Hyuga, he already treats Hyuga Hanabi as his sister-in-law, and has set his sights on this “sister-in-law”.
After returning to Konoha, the days became peaceful again. The war was coming to an end, and more than a month had passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, all the people who had gone to the battlefield came back, including those who had died, some with intact bodies, and some with broken limbs. These people were hailed as heroes of Konoha Village.
It was clearly daytime, but the sky was dark. Perhaps only weather like this could highlight the sad atmosphere. Xia Yan also attended the funeral. In fact, everyone attended, except for the ninjas who were out on missions.
“Brother, what is the meaning of life? Why do these people die so easily?” Itachi grabbed Xia Yan’s hand, his pure eyes filled with confusion.
“Itachi, there will never be an answer to this question. You have to understand that everyone has different ideas and the meaning of life. If a person is in despair, then he will feel that his life is meaningless. Conversely, if a person is surrounded by happiness, then he will feel that his life is very meaningful. There is an essential difference between the two!” Xia Yan touched Itachi’s little head. This silly child was only four years old and was thinking about such profound questions. No wonder he had such a gloomy personality in the future.
Regarding the question of the meaning of life, I am afraid that not only humans themselves, but even God cannot give a true answer.
“As for why these people die so easily, it’s because they are too fragile, so they die so easily. So Itachi, you have to become stronger in the future!” This sentence was said to Itachi, but also to himself.
Itachi nodded as if he understood, but the confusion in his eyes did not subside at all, but became even more intense.
The people who were mourning for the deceased nearby also heard Xia Yan’s words. They couldn’t help but open their eyes and look at Xia Yan, and found that it was just a child of four years old. This made everyone feel unbelievable. The meaning of life is a question that many people are exploring, but as Xia Yan said, there is no fixed answer to this question.
However, it is undeniable that Xia Yan’s words do make sense. Everyone has different views on the meaning of life. It can be said that although the answer given by Xia Yan is ambiguous, it is undoubtedly the best answer.
It is hard to imagine how such a young child could come up with such a philosophical answer.
“A child of the Uchiha clan? It looks like another genius!” The head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi, narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of envy and sigh in his tone, and also jealousy. The Hyuga and Uchiha are both families that practice dojutsu, and they are from the same village. The relationship between them can be said to be not friendly.
The saying “birds of a feather flock together” is exactly this principle.
“That kid has the qualities to become Hokage. I wonder what his name is!” Namikaze Minato also admired him very much. If it wasn’t for the funeral, he really wanted to go up and ask the other person’s name.
“Hmm? I remember he seemed to be the child of Mikoto’s family, his name was Uchiha Blind, and the little guy next to him was called Uchiha Itachi. They were twins, two really cute children!” Kushina touched her belly with a hint of pampering in her eyes. Her child was about to be born. It would be great if she could give birth to twins like Mikoto’s family.
Hearing what Kushina said, Namikaze Minato immediately shut up. The child of Mikoto’s family, isn’t that the child of Uchiha Fugaku, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan? The son of the patriarch, with this child’s talent, he may be the patriarch of the Uchiha clan in the future. Such a person has no chance of becoming Hokage.
Although Namikaze Minato is kind, he is the one who is about to succeed the position of Hokage. He knows very well the conflicts between the village and the Uchiha.
By the way, although Konoha eventually won the war, the sacrifices were too great. One third of the ninjas in the village died, and many were seriously injured or disabled. It can be said that Konoha’s strength was reduced by nearly half.
Although such a huge loss was not the fault of the Third Hokage, as the Hokage, he had to take the responsibility, especially since Danzo was putting pressure on Sarutobi Hiruzen. Helplessly, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally decided to abdicate and was succeeded by Namikaze Minato as the Fourth Hokage, which made Danzo very angry.
The funeral lasted for a full hour. After it was over, everyone left one after another. Some were really sad, some were angry. Of course, most people just kept a nonchalant attitude. After all, the dead person was not themselves, nor their relatives or friends. Why should they be sad?
Chapter 12 Little Sasuke! (Old version)
After the funeral, Xia Yan came to the waterfall where he often practiced, thinking about Itachi’s confused look before he left. This silly boy was too stubborn and would not give up until he found the answer to the question himself.
“I hope he won’t get too stubborn!” Xia Yan sighed. He was really worried about this silly brother.
But soon, he put the matter behind him. No matter how worried he was, it was not as practical as becoming stronger himself. As long as he was strong enough, Itachi’s problem would not be a problem at all.
Now that he has twelve trials for defense and infinite sword skills for attack, the most urgent task is to increase his chakra.
However, what made Xia Yan feel helpless was that chakra was something that required a lot of hard work. It was very difficult to achieve results in a short period of time. He was not Naruto, who had Asura’s chakra and the Nine-Tails. Although the Uchiha clan had more chakra than ordinary people, it was not much more, at most two or three times, and the excellent ones had at most ten times.
For example, Xia Yan’s chakra is ten times more than that of ordinary people, which is very excellent in the Uchiha clan. After all, his younger brother Itachi is a genius, and Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra. As an older brother, he can’t be too bad.
After the Ninja World War, the five major ninja villages were discussing compensation matters. Of course, the defeated country paid compensation to the victorious country. However, none of this had anything to do with Xia Yan. He still lived his peaceful life, constantly counting the days, hoping that little Hinata would be born soon so that it would be easier to raise her.
Naruto was a loser in the early days. He had no looks, no money, and no status. To be honest, in the eyes of pragmatists, what was the difference between a prince in distress and shit? More importantly, he was a Jinchūriki who could go berserk at any time. Who would marry their daughter to him?
So, he is a loser with no status, no money, and no looks. How can such a person date Hinata, the number one goddess of Naruto, isn’t it because he won at the starting line?
Are you kidding? With Xia Yan around, there’s no chance for Naruto to show off. He should just continue to be gay with my stupid brother.
Xia Yan was so unscrupulous that he sold out Sasuke.
“Xia Yan, are you there?”
Just when Xia Yan was thinking about the goddess Hinata, Uchiha Mikoto’s voice came from outside the door, and Xia Yan quickly came back to his senses, “Mom, I’m here!”
“Mom has to go to the hospital. Do you want to go with me?” Uchiha Mikoto asked.
Xia Yan’s heart moved. Uchiha Mikoto has been pregnant for more than nine months, and little Sasuke is about to be born. This time going to the hospital is probably for the final pregnancy protection. Originally, Xia Yan didn’t want to go, but he was afraid that something might happen to Uchiha Mikoto. If he was not careful, two lives would be lost.
“Mom, I’ll go with you!” Xia Yan packed up and quickly opened the door. Just as he went out, Itachi also walked out of the room with confusion in his eyes.
“Mom, I’m going too!” said Itachi.
“Ahhh, Itachi really is a person who likes to stick to his brother!” Uchiha Mikoto smiled.
Itachi’s face turned slightly red, but he quickly regained his composure and retorted, “I’m just worried about my mother, it has nothing to do with my brother!”
Uchiha Mikoto touched Itachi’s head, said nothing, then pulled Xia Yan and Itachi out the door.
“Mom, are you not feeling well?” Itachi asked doubtfully on the way. Although this silly child was mentally mature, he was a fool in this aspect and could not even tell that Uchiha Mikoto was pregnant.
“No, Itachi, Xia Yan, mom tells you that you two are going to have a brother or sister soon!” Uchiha Mikoto’s face was full of tenderness and maternal radiance.
Xia Yan couldn’t help but be stunned. With such a gentle mother, he really didn’t want to think about how Itachi would act in the future. If it were him, he would definitely not be able to do it.
“I want a younger brother!” Itachi was silent for a moment, then looked up and said with a hint of stubbornness in his eyes.
“Oh, a sister is not bad either!” Uchiha Mikoto said while gently holding Itachi’s head. She actually wanted a daughter, after all, she already had two sons.
“No, I want a younger brother more!” Itachi still didn’t change his original intention. He really is a brother-con.
Uchiha Mikoto was a little helpless. She looked at Xia Yan who had been silent all the time and asked, “Does Xia Yan like a younger brother or a younger sister?”
Xia Yan came back to his senses and said without thinking, “Of course I like my sister!”
I am not a brother-con, absolutely not……
However, this accusation was destined to be just his wishful thinking. More than a month later, Uchiha Mikoto finally gave birth. The child was born, a boy, and was named Uchiha Sasuke.
“Congratulations, Itachi, it’s a little brother!” Uchiha Mikoto smiled as she looked at Itachi in front of the bed, holding the newly born little Sasuke in her arms.
Itachi’s eyes sparkled, and he tapped Sasuke’s little face with his fingers, “Mom, can I hold you for a moment?”
Uchiha Mikoto carefully placed Sasuke in Itachi’s arms. Seeing Itachi’s doting look, she felt relieved. Then she looked at Xia Yan and said with a smile, “Are you disappointed, Xia Yan? It’s not your sister!”
Xia Yan curled his lips. He had known for a long time that little Sasuke would be born. Asking for a younger sister was just his wishful thinking. It was not a question of whether he was disappointed or not. Besides, the younger brother was not bad either. He was small and cute, just like a puppy. Facing a little baby, I believe no one could hate him.
“Itachi, let me hold you!” Xia Yan took little Sasuke from Itachi’s arms. He actually liked children very much, just like he liked cats and puppies.
Liking cats and dogs might be too weak for a ninja, but he was originally reborn in the 21st century. He liked cats and dogs in his previous life, and he can’t change it now. Besides, little Sasuke was indeed very cute when he was a child.
At this time, little Sasuke also woke up. He looked at Xia Yan with a pair of clear eyes, blinking, looking very cute. Xia Yan couldn’t help but feel loving him and couldn’t help stretching out a finger to tease him, making him laugh.
(PS: Feilu crashed today and I couldn’t even log into my account. I believe everyone knows this!)
Chapter 13: The Day Naruto Was Born! (Old Version)
“The babies in this Naruto world are really different. They have such strong vitality right after they are born!” Xia Yan kept teasing little Sasuke. At this moment, a kind of glow called brother control emanated from him.
Itachi next to him couldn’t help but pout, and his eyes became a little jealous when he looked at Sasuke. He felt that the birth of little Sasuke seemed to take away his Nissan. If only he had known that it was a sister. Itachi sighed in his heart.
Ninjas recover very quickly. After giving birth to little Sasuke, Uchiha Mikoto was discharged from the hospital in just over ten days. Although she was still a little weak, it was not a serious problem. Uchiha Fugaku was usually busy with the affairs of the guard department, so Itachi and Xia Yan had to take care of their mother and brother.
“The refining of chakra has reached a bottleneck again. It’s so close to breaking through to the Genin stage!”
In the room, Xia Yan stopped refining chakra with a trace of regret on his face. He was almost there, almost there, and he could break through, but he was restricted by his age. This was really depressing. Of course, he could refine it by force, but doing so would damage his body, which was not worth the loss.
After all, chakra is a combination of physical energy and spiritual energy. Not to mention spiritual energy, if the body consumes too much energy, it means that the cell death rate is increasing. If this continues for a long time, it is inevitable that life span will be shortened.
Xia Yan called out his attribute panel.
“Magic power (chakra): E (soon to be promoted to E+)”
Xia Yan took a deep breath. For more than two months, the values ​​related to his physical body remained unchanged. He still had a long way to go before he could be promoted to D-level. As for his chakra, although it was still E, it had reached the critical point and was about to break through to E+. Don’t underestimate this plus sign. With this plus sign, his chakra would increase greatly, and he would then be a true Genin level.
“According to the calculation of the time, Naruto should be born about now. The Nine-Tails will also appear by then. That will be my chance. If I can get the Nine-Tails’ chakra…” Xia Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, becoming a little impatient.
As for what would happen to the Fourth Hokage and Kushina, he couldn’t care less. Although Kushina was a beauty, he had a serious virgin complex. Not to mention that Kushina was a virgin, she would even give birth to Naruto.
As a man, let alone having a virgin complex, even if you don’t have one, can you tolerate your woman loving another man’s child, and you have to raise the child? If you can tolerate this, then you probably have a grassland above your head.
Besides, even if you can really get a woman with a child, in her heart, the child is probably the first priority. The most annoying thing is that the child is not yours.
Anyway, Xia Yan couldn’t stand it, so he never thought about saving Kushina or something like that. Of course, he didn’t have the ability to save people from the Nine-Tails and Uchiha Obito? You think you are Hashirama Senju, the Twelve Trials are really awesome, but it would be hard to deal with a Tailed Beast Ball.
“Xia Yan, Itachi, your mother has to go out for something, and your father is also on a mission, so Sasuke will be left to the two of you to take care of. You must protect your brother, understand?”
While eating, Uchiha Mikoto’s face looked a little solemn. Although the village did a good job of keeping secrets, most people could still guess that the village’s Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was giving birth, but they just didn’t know the location of the birth.
When the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki gives birth, the seal will become extremely weak and the Nine-Tails is likely to break out. Most of the guards have been transferred to guard the barrier around the village.
“I understand, Mom!” Itachi nodded.
Xia Yan swallowed his saliva. Although Uchiha Mikoto didn’t say it explicitly, based on his understanding of the plot, he could probably guess that tonight would be the time when the Nine-Tails would attack the village. No, it should be Uchiha Obito who would attack the village.
“Mom, be careful!” Xia Yan reminded.
“Um!”
Uchiha Mikoto was stunned and a little surprised. She felt that Xia Yan seemed to have noticed something, but she didn’t take it too seriously. After dinner, she went out alone.
After Uchiha Mikoto left, Xia Yan picked up Sasuke and teased him a little, making him laugh. Then he put Sasuke in Itachi’s arms, touched Itachi’s little head and said, “Itachi, you have to take good care of Sasuke. Brother has something to buy!”
“Brother, don’t worry, I will take good care of Sasuke!” Itachi nodded and did not ask Xia Yan what he wanted to buy.
Xia Yan returned to the room, took some kunai, detonating tags and a few military pills and went out. The Nine-Tailed Fox attacked the village. This was Xia Yan’s chance. Not only did he have the opportunity to obtain the Nine-Tailed Fox’s chakra, he could even use the Infinite Sword System to severely damage the Nine-Tailed Fox.
The Nine-Tails is a collection of chakras and has very strong vitality. With Xia Yan’s strength, it is impossible to kill it, but if he only needs to launch a sneak attack with his strongest attack, he should be able to injure the Nine-Tails, and then he will definitely be able to obtain a large amount of magic crystals.
In order to avoid exposing himself, Xia Yan had been looking for the perfect position for a sneak attack for a long time. After leaving home, he went directly to a high peak in the back mountain of Konoha. Looking down from above, he could have a panoramic view of the entire Konoha.
Xia Yan was very nervous. He took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged, waiting for the moment when the Nine-Tailed Fox came out of the cage.
Time passed by minute by minute as Xia Yan waited, and the whole village fell into silence. Although there was no mention of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki’s birth, the Third Hokage still mobilized the Anbu to guard every corner of Konoha Village just in case.
boom!
When the moon was high in the starry sky, a violent riot broke out, followed by a huge fox as big as a hill, with nine tails swinging ferociously. This was a serious incident and directly alarmed the entire Konoha, and everyone ran out to see what was going on. However, after seeing that it was the Nine-Tailed Fox that was revolting, the whole village fell into panic.
“Is it finally here?” Xia Yan took a deep breath, stood up, and stared at the rampaging fox in the distance.
Chapter 14: Pseudo-Spiral Sword! (Old Version)
“It’s the Nine-Tailed Fox. Why is the Nine-Tailed Fox here? What on earth happened?!”
As the strongest of the nine tailed beasts, the Nine-Tails brought enormous pressure, which the ninjas were simply unable to resist. The terrifying Tailed Beast Ball rushed past, and the energy it triggered alone caused heavy casualties among the Konoha ninjas, not to mention the extremely terrifying Tailed Beast Ball.
It only took a few minutes before the once prosperous Konoha was shattered. The worst thing was that the Nine-Tails attacked too suddenly, and there was no time to take refuge, resulting in heavy casualties.
On a high cliff somewhere in the back mountain of Konoha, Xia Yan stared at the huge fox in the distance, his black pupils had turned scarlet. He had awakened the Sharingan several months ago, but was unable to use it because he had no chakra. Now that he had already refined the chakra, he could naturally use the Sharingan at will.
“Nine-tailed Fox, take my strongest blow!”
Xia Yan took a long breath, took out seven or eight military pills from his ninja tool bag, and without thinking, threw them into his mouth, chewed them into pieces and swallowed them. Then, all the chakra in his body began to mobilize. The green grass at his feet moved without wind. The chakra seemed to turn into substance and spread out in a circle, forming a two-meter-wide energy field around Xia Yan.
“This body is the bones of the sword…”
As the spell of Infinite Sword was chanted, a longbow appeared in his left hand, and then a spiral-shaped long sword condensed in his right hand. As Xia Yan straightened the longbow, the body of the spiral sword began to change, becoming longer, but several times thinner.
He drew his bow and drew his arrow, huge amounts of chakra overflowing. With the Sharingan’s superb dynamic vision, he could easily capture the Nine-Tails’ huge body, and there was no possibility of missing the target.
“This attack has gathered all my chakra, and the quality of the pseudo-spiral sword has reached the level of B grade. It should be able to cause great damage to the Nine-Tails!”
drink!
With a muffled shout, the pseudo-spiral sword immediately turned into a stream of light and shot towards the Nine-Tailed Fox.
In the night sky, the light of the pseudo-spiral sword was naturally very conspicuous. Everyone couldn’t help but look at this arrow from the sky. No one knew who was launching the attack, but the ninjas did not hold out any hope. The Nine-Tailed Fox was so powerful that so many powerful ninjutsu could not cause any damage to it. How big was this arrow?
It has to be said that the more powerful the ninjutsu is, the larger its scale will be. This is the consensus among ninjas.
However, the size of a Noble Phantasm is not the basis for judging. For example, an S-class Fire Release Technique is rated S-class because of its large scale of destruction. However, on the other hand, the larger the scale, the more dispersed the power is. It is naturally as terrifying as a natural disaster when used against the weak, but it has little power against the strong.
But the pseudo spiral sword is different. Although the spiral sword projected by Xia Yan can only reach B level, it is a sword. What is this sword? The sword is to concentrate on one point to attack. Although the scale is not large, the penetration power is not comparable to some S-level ninjutsu.
The destructive power of level B is only the destructive power generated by the explosion of the spiral sword, but it does not take into account the lethality when the spiral sword pierces the target itself.
The Nine-Tailed Fox also discovered that someone was attacking it, but as proud as it was, it naturally would not take such an attack seriously. It did not even try to defend itself and just looked down upon the spiral sword that was shooting towards it.
At this moment, the Nine-Tails’ destruction stopped, and the ninjas seemed to have stopped their attacks. The chaotic Konoha seemed to have fallen into silence. Only the spiral sword hit the Nine-Tails in an instant at an extremely terrifying speed.
The Spiral Sword has stronger penetrating power than ordinary treasures because it is in a spiral shape and kills the enemy by penetrating.
The terrifying penetrating power instantly pierced through the Nine-Tailed Fox’s body, and half of the sword penetrated into its body from its back. The severe pain made the Nine-Tailed Fox come back to its senses and let out a terrifying roar. However, this was only the beginning. After the piercing power of the spiral sword ended, it exploded directly.
This was not the explosion of Xia Yan’s chakra, but the explosion of a B-level treasure. The destructive power was unparalleled. The ground seemed to tremble, and terrifying energy spread. The stones under the feet of the Nine-Tailed Fox exploded one after another. In an instant, an energy ball of more than ten meters in size appeared on the Nine-Tailed Fox. It was the energy storm generated by the explosion of the spiral sword.
This time, the Nine-Tailed Fox suffered a serious blow. It was too careless and did not take the Spiral Sword seriously from the beginning. If it had faced it squarely, even if it just used its tail to swing it, it would still be injured, but it would only be a minor injury.
“Whose attack was it? Was it the Fourth Hokage?” The ninjas were all incredulous. They could only think so. Apart from the Fourth Hokage, who else could deal with the Nine-Tails? After all, the Third Hokage was here, so the attack just now was not launched by him.
The Third Hokage was also confused. After he came to his senses, he looked in the direction where the Rasengan came from with his sharp eyes. He couldn’t understand who in Konoha Village was so powerful. It was definitely not Minato Namikaze. Although he was powerful, he was only powerful in Flying Thunder God and Rasengan.
Namikaze Minato is very powerful, but his ninjutsu is of no use against a monster like the Nine-Tails. No matter how fast Flying Thunder God is, it is just weirdness and speed. It is terrifying for ninjas, but useless for the Nine-Tails. It is like a fast-flying fly and a human. Although humans cannot catch the agile fly with their hands, the fly cannot cause any harm to humans.
“No one?” The Third Hokage frowned slightly. There was such a powerful ninja hidden in the village? Why was there no news about it until now?
roar!
But now is not the time to think about this, he should deal with the Nine-Tails in front of him first. In the absence of the Fourth Hokage, he can only rely on him to stop the Nine-Tails. Fortunately, the Sky Arrow just now severely injured the Nine-Tails. Even with the recovery ability of the tailed beast, it would be difficult to recover in a short time. It can be said that a lot of time has been gained.
(PS: Please support, reward, and most importantly, collect. This book will never be abandoned. The weather here has started to get better, so the update speed will also be improved, and there will be no more interruptions!)
Chapter 15 Uchiha Izumi! (Old version)
On the other side, Xia Yan was not having a good time either. The previous attack could be said to have overdrawn all his chakra, and he also swallowed a few Bingliang Pills to maximize his chakra. Otherwise, he would not be able to project a pseudo-spiral sword with a power of B level.
“That attack just now should allow me to obtain a lot of magic crystals. Now it’s time to reclaim the fruits of victory!” Xia Yan took a deep breath, took out another soldier’s ration pill, hesitated for a moment, and swallowed it.
Bingliang Pills can quickly replenish cell energy, so they can increase chakra and physical strength. However, conversely, this method will also cause some harm to the body. If it were normal times, Xia Yan would never eat this thing. You know, the reason why ninjas have a short lifespan is largely due to years of fighting and crazy eating of Bingliang Pills. Overdrawing one’s cell energy for a long time, it would be strange if they didn’t die young.
The Nine-Tails is a collection of chakras, and its recovery speed is extremely terrifying. Although it was accidentally hit hard by Xia Yan, it almost recovered after more than ten minutes. This completely enraged it, and it directly began to condense the Tailed Beast Ball. The terrifying energy frightened all the ninjas.
The Third Hokage was unable to stop the Nine-Tails at all. He fired a Tailed Beast Ball and directly killed dozens of ninjas. Even the Third Hokage was seriously injured and was almost killed by the Tailed Beast Ball.
Woo~woo~woo~
“Dad, Mom!”
Quickly moving through the streets, Xia Yan saw many children who were separated from their parents along the way, but he ignored them because the Konoha Guard Department was arranging the evacuation of personnel and this kind of work was not his turn.
Xia Yan is not a big villain, but at the same time, he is definitely not a saint. There are too many poor people in the world, and all he can do is to protect the people around him. Maybe when he is strong enough, he will save others, but definitely not now.
“Um?”
Just then, he saw a familiar figure, a little girl with the Uchiha clan’s unique round fan logo on her clothes. Of course, this was not what he cared about. The key point was that he knew this girl, her name was Uchiha Izumi.
That’s right, it’s the girl who formed a couple with Itachi in the original work. Although she was killed by Obito in the end, it is undeniable that this girl is still very beautiful and has good talent. She opened the three magatama at the age of thirteen. In the spirit of not wasting, Xia Yan naturally got to know her early, but because he was busy practicing during this period, he did not look for her.
“We can’t just ignore this!” Xia Yan murmured, looking at the Nine-Tails that had already rushed into Konoha and was almost within reach. He didn’t have time to think too much, and quickly came to Quan’s side and grabbed her wrist.
“Xia Yan?” Quan stopped crying, but there was still fear on his little face.
“Quan, come with me quickly!” Xia Yan took her little hand and left quickly.
As soon as the two left, the Nine-Tailed Fox attacked. It just waved its claws casually and the surrounding houses were destroyed. Xia Yan took Quan’s little hand and quickly found a member of the guard department.
“Izumi, you go to shelter first, I’m going to find Itachi!” Now is not the time to train, he must complete his plan before the Fourth Hokage seals the Nine-Tails.
“Xia Yan…” Quan wanted to ask Xia Yan to take refuge with her, but the words couldn’t come out of her mouth. She knew that Itachi was his younger brother.
Xia Yan quickly came to the side of the Nine-Tailed Fox, but did not rush forward. He had to pretend to be accidentally swallowed by the Nine-Tailed Fox. Only in this way could he hide himself better.
“What can I do to make this tsundere fox swallow me naturally?” Xia Yan thought as he followed Nine-Tailed Fox closely. He was not worried at all that he would be bitten to death. With the twelve trials in hand, even if Nine-Tailed Fox broke its teeth, it would not be able to bite him to death.
“Dad, Mom…!”
Just then, a child came into view. The Nine-Tailed Fox raised its huge claw and wanted to slap the little reptile on the ground to death. Seeing this, Xia Yan’s eyes lit up. Isn’t this a perfect opportunity? Thinking of this, he sped up his feet suddenly and rushed to the child before the Nine-Tailed Fox’s claw fell. He grabbed his collar and threw him aside. At the same time, the Nine-Tailed Fox’s claw also fell.
The horrifying blow shattered the ground. No one could see the situation clearly in the smoke and dust. The ninjas who followed naturally saw this scene and were all stunned. The child was actually beaten to death by the Nine-Tailed Fox just now for saving others?
Thinking of this, a trace of grief flashed in everyone’s eyes. They were not just sad for Xia Yan, but because they thought of the harm caused by the Nine-Tailed Fox this time. They didn’t know how many innocent people had died under its trampling.
“Quickly stop the Nine-Tails. Don’t let it take another step forward, even at the cost of your life!”
Obviously, Xia Yan’s spirit of “sacrificing oneself to save others” stimulated these ninjas. Even a child can die to protect others. Could it be that a ninja like him is not as good as a child?
If Xia Yan knew what these ninjas were thinking, he would definitely be stunned. He was just trying to obtain the Nine-Tails’ chakra, and it had nothing to do with the noble spirit of self-sacrifice.
No one could see the situation under the cover of smoke and dust, but there was no doubt that when the smoke and dust cleared, there was no trace of Xia Yan there. In the eyes of the ninjas, Xia Yan must have been beaten to pieces by the Nine-Tailed Fox, but they didn’t know that he used the cover of the smoke and rushed directly into the Nine-Tailed Fox’s mouth and was swallowed by it.
“Is this the Kyuubi’s stomach? There’s no stomach acid or odor as I imagined!”
At this moment, Xia Yan was sitting cross-legged in the Nine-Tailed Fox’s stomach. Unlike ordinary creatures, the Nine-Tailed Fox did not have stomach acid and did not have any peculiar smell of raw meat. This surprised Xia Yan, but after thinking about it carefully, it did not find it strange.
Strictly speaking, the Nine-Tailed Fox is not a living creature, but just a collection of chakra, or a so-called energy collection, but it appears in the form of a fox. It would be more accurate to say that Xia Yan is wrapped in a huge ball of energy rather than being in the stomach of a fox.
Chapter 16: Can’t Eat It, Take It Away? (Old Version)
“No wonder Jin Jiao Yin Jiao can eat the meat of the Nine-Tailed Fox raw. This is simply a tonic!”
Xia Yan tore off a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. It didn’t feel greasy at all, nor did it feel disgusting like raw meat. Instead, it melted in his mouth. After all, this was chakra, not a real “piece of meat”.
But now is not the time to sigh. Xia Yan did not forget his confirmation. He took out a large number of detonating tags from his ninja tool bag. Without thinking twice, he quickly stuck the detonating tags in every corner of the Nine-Tailed Fox’s belly. After a few minutes, Xia Yan finally stopped. All the detonating tags had been stuck. Looking around, there were hundreds of them.
“If so many detonating talismans are detonated, even the Nine-Tailed Fox will be half-dead. I wonder how many magic crystals we can get!” Xia Yan almost couldn’t help but detonate them now. Anyway, he had the Twelve Trials, and he could be resurrected even if he was killed.
Of course, this is just a thought. The purpose this time, in addition to the magic crystal, is to eat the flesh of the Nine-Tailed Fox like Kinjiao and Ginkaku, so as to obtain the Nine-Tailed Fox’s chakra. Now the goal has not been achieved, so how could it explode so soon?
Thinking of this, he immediately climbed down and bit the Nine-Tailed Fox’s flesh directly, grinding it hard with his two rows of small teeth.
Outside, the frantic Nine-Tailed Fox also discovered that Xia Yan was eating his meat. At first, he didn’t take it seriously. It was just a little ghost. How much could it eat? He would deal with it properly later. However, after more than ten minutes, Nine-Tailed Fox was furious. He was still eating. He couldn’t understand how Xia Yan’s small stomach could hold so much meat.
Who would have thought that although Xia Yan was just a four-year-old child, his endurance had reached the D-level. His physical fitness was stronger than that of an adult. After eating so much, the Nine-Tailed Fox even felt that it had lost at least the chakra of one tail. It was really hateful.
The Nine-Tailed Fox roared, controlling its stomach to move, wanting to spit out Xia Yan and then slap him to death. The ninjas next to it were a little confused. No one knew what had suddenly happened to the Nine-Tailed Fox. He looked very furious and in pain.
But this was a good opportunity. Immediately, a large group of ninjas used their familiar ninjutsu to attack the Nine-Tails. This made the Nine-Tails very angry. There was a little devil eating his flesh inside, and a group of flies outside kept interfering. It was really unreasonable.
It was extremely furious, and kept controlling its stomach to shake wildly. It was a collection of chakras and could perfectly control the energy of its whole body. Naturally, it was not difficult for it to vomit out the contents of its stomach.
However, Xia Yan had finally completed his plan, so how could he be willing to come out so soon? Delusion!
In the belly of the Nine-Tailed Fox, Xia Yan was lying like an octopus, holding the Nine-Tailed Fox’s stomach tightly with both hands. He opened his mouth without any pause, and continuously swallowed the Nine-Tailed Fox’s flesh into his stomach. After more than ten minutes, he had obtained at least the chakra amount of one of the Nine-Tailed Fox’s tails, which made him very happy.
How much chakra does one tail of the Nine-Tails have? If we have to give a number, then it is at least ten times higher than the chakra of a jonin level, which is extremely terrifying. In other words, his current chakra is more than ten times that of a jonin, which can be said to be a great harvest.
But unfortunately, the Nine-Tailed Fox’s chakra is too violent, and Xia Yan cannot control it perfectly with his current strength. He can only start to adapt little by little in the future. Of course, this is not a big deal. It is countless times faster than slowly refining chakra by himself.
“My lord, it seems that someone outside is shouting that the Fourth Hokage is here. This Fourth Hokage must be the person you asked me to pay attention to!” At this time, Alice Phil suddenly reminded.
“Huh? You’re here so soon?”
Xia Yan frowned slightly. When he entered the Nine-Tails’ belly, he asked Irisviel to pay attention to the situation outside and to remind him immediately if she heard someone calling “Fourth-generation Lord”. Now it seems that Namikaze Minato has arrived, which makes him a little depressed.
“It seems I can’t continue eating, otherwise I will be buried with this stupid fox!” Xia Yan looked regretful. Although the Shikigami Fūjin was aimed at the Nine-Tails, he was in the Nine-Tails’ stomach at the moment. Who knew if the so-called God of Death would seal him as well.
After all, strictly speaking, Xia Yan was the food eaten by the Nine-Tailed Fox.
“My lord, don’t feel sorry. You can collect some of the meat and put it in the Holy Grail. You can continue to eat it after you go out!” Alice said with a smile.
“Is this possible?” Xia Yan raised his eyebrows.
“Of course you can. The Holy Grail is just a container. It can be used to hold anything. And my Lord is the holder of the Holy Grail. It is up to my Lord to decide what to put in it!”
Xia Yan suddenly realized, a strange look flashed across his face. This was really something that he couldn’t finish. He had to take it away with him. Jiuwei would probably cry. It wasn’t enough for him to just eat it, he had to take it away with him.
“But I like it!” Without saying a word, Xia Yan directly projected Gan Jiang Moye, quickly cut off the meat of the Nine-Tailed Fox, and then put it into the Holy Grail. In less than a minute, Xia Yan cut off dozens of kilograms of meat. At the same time, Irisviel also reminded him that Minato Namikaze had begun to cast the Demonic Sealing Spell.
“What a pity! It would be great if I could eat the whole Nine-Tailed Fox!” Xia Yan murmured greedily.
Little did they know that the Nine-Tailed Fox was now badly hurt by Xia Yan. Outside, it was locked up by Kushina’s Diamond Seal, while inside, Xia Yan made a huge fuss. Not only did he eat so much of his flesh, but he also cut off dozens of kilograms of it. Fortunately, the Nine-Tailed Fox was a collection of chakras, not a living being in the strict sense, so it had no life or death. Otherwise, with such damage, it would have died immediately.
Minato Namikaze and Kushina were having a touching farewell, and the Demonic Sealing Art had already been activated. But at this moment, the Nine-Tails suddenly opened its mouth and spit out a person, it was Xia Yan. This surprised both Minato Namikaze and Kushina, as it was actually a little child.
“Although the meat of the Nine-Tailed Fox is delicious, the feeling of eating it and then forcing it to spit it out is really uncomfortable!” Xia Yan got up from the ground and saw Minato Namikaze and Kushina staring at him in a daze.
Chapter 17: Great Harvest! (Old Version)
“Uh, you guys continue!”
“Little brat, I will kill you!” The Nine-Tails roared repeatedly. His hatred for Minato Namikaze now exceeded that of Xia Yan. He was eaten alive by the chakra of nearly three tails. Although it could be refined again, the pain made it furious. However, he was bound by Kushina’s chakra, and Xia Yan had eaten so much chakra in one breath that he had no strength to resist at this moment.
That’s right, Xia Yan was ruthless enough. He just cut so much meat in one breath, plus what he ate on the spot, it was at least the chakra of three tails of the Nine-Tailed Fox. This was extremely astonishing. He would go back and eat all the cut meat. It was estimated that Xia Yan’s chakra was at least dozens of times that of the Kage level.
Of course, this is an act of seeking death. At present, he can still barely suppress the chakra of one tail. If he really goes back and eats dozens of kilograms of meat in one breath, with Xia Yan’s strength, he will probably immediately transform into a three-tailed beast. However, he will lose his mind and eventually cannot escape the fate of being caught by Konoha. He will either be sealed, killed, or used as experimental material. In short, there will be no end.
Namikaze Minato had already used the Demonic Fuujin, and a ferocious and terrifying Grim Reaper was floating behind him. When he saw Xia Yan, he frowned slightly, wondering how he could survive after being eaten by the Nine-Tailed Fox? This was simply beyond imagination.
“You are Xia Yan from Mikoto’s family!” Kushina recognized him. She had met her before when Xia Yan went out with Uchiha Mikoto. She remembered that she had praised the child for being cute and beautiful.
“Aunt Kushina, you…” Xia Yan pretended to be surprised.
“Don’t ask anything, just stand aside quickly, and leave the rest to us!” Kushina still likes Xia Yan very much. This is the glory of motherhood. She has a good relationship with Uchiha Mikoto.
Xia Yan nodded and said, “Aunt Kushina, let me help you!”
As he spoke, he made a seal, which was the same seal as the one used to detonate the detonating talismans. The detonating talismans stuck on the Nine-Tails’ body had his chakra on them, so as long as he made the seal, they would immediately respond and detonate.
Namikaze Minato and Kushina didn’t know what Xia Yan was talking about, but the next moment, a violent explosion was heard, accompanied by the Nine-Tailed Fox’s tragic roar. Hundreds of detonating tags exploded, and even if it was a collection of chakra, it would not be able to withstand it. If it hadn’t used chakra to protect it in time, it would probably have blown through its body.
“Explosive Tag?” Minato Namikaze raised his eyebrows. As smart as he was, he immediately knew the whole story. It was probably because Xia Yan had a detonating tag on him after he was eaten. What a smart and calm child. Minato Namikaze couldn’t help but look at Naruto on the altar. That was his child.
“Has the Nine-Tails become so weak? The next seal will be much easier! In any case, thank you in advance. Please retreat quickly. An explosion of this magnitude cannot kill the Nine-Tails!” Namikaze Minato said, looking at Xia Yan’s bright eyes.
There were countless purple magic crystals on the ground, which almost blinded Xia Yan’s eyes. However, he was the only one who could see this thing, so without saying a word, he immediately asked Alice to pick them up. He watched the number of his magic crystals continue to increase until it reached 4,680.
This made Xia Yan almost unable to hold back laughing out loud. Originally, he only had more than a thousand magic crystals, but an action tonight allowed him to obtain more than three thousand magic crystals. It was really a great harvest. Ten consecutive draws, here I come.
Cough cough!
Of course, now is not the time to laugh out loud. The Fourth Hokage and his wife are about to die. As a member of Konoha, it would be fine if he didn’t feel sad, but he actually laughed out loud? He would probably become a celebrity in the future, and a celebrity with a bad reputation. This is not the life Xia Yan wants.
He gathered himself together, quietly stepped back, and watched the next actions of Minato Namikaze and Kushina.
There was no room for others to interfere in what happened next. The Nine-Tails was successfully sealed into Naruto’s body by Minato Namikaze. Originally, the two of them would have been pierced to death by the Nine-Tails’ claws, but because of Xia Yan, the Nine-Tails was already dying and was sealed without any ability to resist.
Of course, the ending would not change at all. After using the Shiki Fuujin, there was no possibility that Minato Namikaze would survive. Kushina would also die after losing the Nine-Tails, but their deaths were not as tragic.
Xia Yan watched the whole story from beginning to end. Originally, Kushina didn’t have to die, as long as Minato Namikaze sealed the Nine-Tails back into her body. However, Minato Namikaze obviously wouldn’t do that. He placed all his hopes on Naruto. The couple left with a smile on their faces.
Still remembering the pair of extremely resentful eyes of the Nine-Tailed Fox when it was sealed, Xia Yan guessed that this guy would want to tear him apart the next time the seal was broken. After all, as the strongest tailed beast, it had suffered heavy losses repeatedly at the hands of a little kid, not only physically but also mentally.
When the Nine-Tails was successfully sealed, the matter came to an end, but no one was happy. This time, the village suffered too much damage. Not only were countless houses destroyed, but hundreds of ninjas also died. More importantly, even the Fourth Hokage died. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow.
The funeral was held the next day and everyone attended, including Xia Yan. However, he was a little absent-minded. He was taken away by the Anbu people last night and interrogated until dawn. Now he was very sleepy.
Three hours later, the funeral was finally over. Xia Yan couldn’t wait to return home as the Nine-Tails Chakra still needed to be processed.
“Irisviel, take out all the meat of the Nine-Tailed Fox!” After returning home, he immediately found Irisviel. If not now, when would he eat it?
“My Lord, this meat is extremely pure energy, but it is also very violent and contains a lot of negative emotions. If you eat it all now, you may not be able to control it!” Irisviel advised, sitting on top of the Holy Grail with her beautiful legs raised.
Xia Yan frowned slightly. He had thought about this problem a long time ago, but there was no solution unless he used a sealing technique to seal it. However, he did not know this advanced sealing technique. If he asked someone else, it would definitely be exposed. He did not want to put himself in danger.
“Irisviel, do you have any way to suppress these violent chakras?” Xia Yan could only place his hopes on Irisviel.
Chapter 18: Draw Again! (Old Version)
“There is a way, but my Lord will have to pay a price!” Alice sat on top of the Holy Grail, her beautiful legs swaying gently, her face still full of smiles.
Xia Yan was not in the mood to appreciate it. After hearing what Irisviel said, he was very dissatisfied. “Are you kidding me? I am the owner of the Holy Grail. Normally, I have to pay magic crystals to fulfill my wishes, but now I ask you to pay a price for doing me a favor. Could your Holy Grail be a fake one?”
Of course, this is just a complaint. This Holy Grail is not a fake one, but a real universal cauldron. The previous Holy Grail could not reach the level of the current one.
“My lord, I am only the consciousness of the Holy Grail. I do not possess any magic power myself. If I want to help you suppress the violent energy, I must rely on the power of the magic crystal!” Alice explained.
“In short, you are useless!” Xia Yan muttered in his heart, but did not say it out loud. His face was full of entanglement and pain. “Then tell me, how many magic crystals do you need?”
“Not more, not more, five hundred will be enough!” Alice shook her jade-like index finger.
Xia Yan almost fainted. Was he kidding? Just to suppress the chakra of the three tails of the Nine-Tailed Fox, he actually consumed five hundred magic crystals. He suspected that Irisviel was trying to trick him, but he really couldn’t do without her help at the moment. Although five hundred magic crystals were a lot, with four thousand six hundred and eighty of them, it wouldn’t be too painful.
“Five hundred is five hundred. I will eat all this meat now, and then you help me suppress the tailed beast chakra in my body!” Xia Yan didn’t want to bargain. Most likely he would not get anything in return and it would just be a waste of time.
“Follow my Lord’s will!”
Xia Yan didn’t say anything more. He picked up the tailed beast meat and started eating it frantically. Irisviel was chanting words, but no one could understand them. It was probably the ancient language of gods.
More than half an hour later, Xia Yan was completely full and lay on the ground, unable to move. His belly was swollen like a pregnant woman. He had too much chakra. Fortunately, with the success of Alice’s magic, the chakra in his body was successfully suppressed.
Now his chakra is divided into two, his own chakra and the Nine-Tails’ chakra. Xia Yan only needs to slowly absorb the tailed beast chakra. In this way, although the tailed beast mode is impossible, at least he can use a simple version of the Nine-Tails mode like Naruto did when he first mastered the Nine-Tails’ chakra.
“My Lord, are you okay?” In the consciousness space, Alice pursed her lips and chuckled.
Xia Yan rolled his eyes. He didn’t want to say a word now. He just lay on the grass and then entered his consciousness into the Holy Grail. He now had 4,180 magic crystals and could make ten consecutive draws.
“Irisviel, I’m going to draw a lottery!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a panel appeared in front of him, which made Xia Yan’s mouth twitch involuntarily. Every time he saw this panel, he would remember the despair he felt when playing mobile games in his previous life. He really hoped that he could escape from Africa and enter Europe in this life.
“Ten consecutive draws!”
After a click, two thousand eight hundred magic crystals were deducted. At the same time, golden cards were continuously drawn out. Xia Yan stared at them intently, hoping to draw out something good. It would be great if it was an attribute enhancement symbol. To be honest, durability is too difficult to improve.
“Add one more fragment of the Death Eye!” “Add one more fragment of the Distorted Eye!” “Add one more fragment of the EA!” “Add one more fragment of the King’s Treasure!” “Add one more fragment of the Sword of Victory Oath!” “Add one more fragment of the Spear of Death Thorns!” “Add one more fragment of the Spear of Longinus!” “Add one more fragment of the Distorted Eye!”
Oh my god, all of them are fragments, and they are a little different from the last time I drew ten pieces. There are also fragments of two new guns. This is really driving me crazy. It will take so much effort to collect all these fragments that I will vomit blood. Xia Yan suddenly had an urge to massacre the whole world.
“Congratulations, my Lord, for obtaining the single attribute magic recovery C!”
The last card was turned over. It was not a treasure, nor a magic or ability, but a special attribute that was specifically used to restore magic power. This made his mouth twitch. Magic power recovery is easy to understand. It is something that can automatically restore magic power or chakra. It can be said to be a talent.
It’s not that this talent is bad. If you calculate it from a long-term perspective, this is a very incredible talent. You know, with Xia Yan’s current chakra amount, if the magic power is restored to C, it will only take tens of seconds to replenish it. Even with the Nine-Tailed Fox’s chakra, it will automatically recover within an hour at most. If you actively refine it yourself, the time will be even shorter.
In other words, this is a perpetual motion machine that continuously generates magic power. This is amazing. Just think about it, two people with the same strength are constantly using their ultimate moves. At this time, the competition is about who will run out of magic power or chakra first. As long as Xia Yan has this talent, he can continuously recover himself in battle and can directly drag to death a strong man of the same level.
But Xia Yan is not satisfied. His current chakra is so low, and there is no battle. What’s the use of your magic recovery? It’s better to just use the Piercing Death Thorn Spear and let me be a lucky E spearman. At least it is a causal treasure. In the Naruto world, it can be said to be a one-hit kill, except for the Six Paths level.
“My Lord, you are so lucky!” There was a gleam of light in Alice’s eyes, but she had a different opinion from Xia Yan.
“What do you mean?” Xia Yan frowned.
“My Lord, think about it carefully. As long as you have this magic power recovery, even if it is C level, it is enough to support your daily consumption. Don’t forget that although you have obtained the tailed beast chakra, it is limited. Once you have swallowed it all, it will be gone. But if you have this magic power recovery C, then it is equivalent to the tailed beast chakra being endless. Think about it, if you keep going like this, your chakra will even exceed that of the tailed beast!”

Chapter 20: Finally going to school! (Old version)
Xia Yan scoffed at the behavior of the Konoha high-ups. Uchiha was one of the founders of Konoha, and not the property of the Konoha high-ups alone. Even if Uchiha wanted to seize power, it was none of your business. You act as if Konoha is your property. Don’t you know that Konoha is a democracy?
Honestly speaking, Konoha has deteriorated nowadays, and the Anbu organization should not exist. This gives Konoha’s top brass too much power, causing most people to not dare to resist the decisions of the top brass. In other words, if the Third Hokage directly lets his son inherit the position of Hokage after retirement, with the existence of the Anbu, no one would dare to object.
If this is true, in the long run, Konoha will become a system where blood ties are supreme, which will be the beginning of the destruction of a dynasty. This is not alarmist. Konoha has only a few decades of history. Who knows whether an ambitious Hokage will appear in a hundred or two hundred years and directly pass the position of Hokage to his son for the sake of his family.
No, it should be said that Danzo was an ambitious man. He also became Hokage in the later period. Think about it, if he had descendants and was not killed by Sasuke halfway, then his dream would be to destroy the other four major villages and let Konoha dominate the world. It is conceivable that it is absolutely impossible for him to do it with his ability. Therefore, in order to fulfill his last wish, he would need an heir, and the heir would undoubtedly be the most suitable to choose his own son.
Of course, the premise just now is that Danzo has a son.
This is just an analogy. Who knows if there will be another Danzo in Konoha a hundred years later? In short, with the existence of the Anbu, the power of the Kage is too great. It would be fine if the Kage is a kind and generous Kage, but if he is an ambitious person, I am afraid that the whole village will not dare to object at that time.
“Now more than 90% of the family members are very dissatisfied with the Konoha high-level officials. It seems that the disaster of extermination of the family is not far away!”
In the room, after Xia Yan completed today’s chakra refining, he was thinking about what to do next. Even he could hear the dissatisfied voices from the Uchiha clan, let alone the Konoha side. However, it was really not the Uchiha’s fault. It was really the Konoha high-level people who went too far.
They were afraid of the power of the Sharingan, so they constantly suspected and excluded the Uchiha. The Nine-Tails incident had nothing to do with the Uchiha, but the Konoha high-ups, due to suspicion, had preconceived ideas and directly put the blame on them, and then drove the entire Uchiha to the edge of Konoha Village, and they were laughed at by countless people.
Even Xia Yan could hear some gossip when he walked on the street, especially from the Hyuga clan, who were even more bold. Sometimes he was even talked about and ridiculed behind his back by the Hyuga clan.
It can be said that Xia Yan’s sense of belonging to the Uchiha clan is not very deep, but even so, he can’t help but feel resentful in his heart. It is no wonder that the rest of the clan members want to stage a coup, and it is probably only Itachi and Shisui who can continue to love Konoha.
However, these two guys are no longer human beings. It is not an exaggeration to call them “saints”. Xia Yan can’t do it anyway. Especially when people talk about them, it makes him very annoyed. This must be the result of the Konoha high-level officials fanning the flames, which directly led to the prevalence of rumors.
Once this spread to ten people, and then to a hundred people, the rumors became more and more credible. After all, there were many people who wanted to make fun of the Uchiha. The Konoha high-level officials only needed to say a few words, and these guys would immediately become meat that smelled meat, and would pounce on them madly. What’s more, this time the Konoha high-level officials blatantly drove the Uchiha to the edge of the village. Anyone with a discerning eye would know what was going on at a glance.
As a result, the top management added fuel to the fire, and those who were unhappy with the Uchiha began to fan the flames, and in an instant, rumors were flying everywhere.
“Brother, come out to eat!”
Itachi’s voice came from outside the door. Xia Yan put away his thoughts and calmed down the depression and unhappiness in his heart. There was no point in sulking. As long as his strength was strong enough, he could help Itachi destroy Uchiha in the future, or assist Uchiha in destroying the Konoha high-level officials. It all depended on his mood. It would be futile to think more now.
“I’ll be right there…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Time passed quickly, and more than a year went by in the blink of an eye. Early in the morning, Xia Yan packed up some ninja tools and went out. Of course, he was not going to train. Now he was six years old, and it was time for him to go to ninja school.
“Brother, good morning! Dad has been waiting for us. It’s finally time!” Itachi was waiting for Xia Yan at the door with a hint of excitement on his face.
Little Sasuke is already over one year old. He lay on the ground and kept grabbing Xia Yan’s trouser legs with his little hands, babbling in his teeth, just like a puppy. Xia Yan couldn’t help but pick him up.
“Sasuke, I can’t play with you today, go find your mother!” Xia Yan still likes little Sasuke very much. Alas, people will grow up. Sasuke was cute when he was a child, just like a puppy, but he will become bad when he grows up. This makes Xia Yan sigh. When the little loli grows up, you can do it~pa~pa~pa, but when the little cute boy grows up, he is not interesting at all.
“Itachi, let’s go. Don’t keep Dad waiting too long!” Xia Yan put little Sasuke down and said.
“Yeah!” Itachi nodded, then squatted down and pinched Sasuke’s little face, saying lovingly, “Sasuke, stay home and be good. Brother will play with you when he comes back from school!”
After teasing Sasuke for a while, the two went out together. Today was the first time to go to school, and Itachi was very excited. Of course, Xia Yan felt troubled. With his current strength, it was completely meaningless for a high school student to crush an elementary school student.
The first thing new students do when they enter the school is to receive guidance from the Hokage. It is worth mentioning that since the death of the Fourth Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen has succeeded to the position of Hokage again. At the same time, an extraordinary event happened in Konoha Village.
That is, Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, was exposed for conducting human experiments, and as a result, he had no choice but to defect from Konoha.
Of course, this has little to do with Xia Yan. The only pity is that the cells of the first generation Hokage are probably only Orochimaru and Danzo. If possible, they still have to get them. If they want to open the Rinnegan in the future, the chakras of Indra and Ashura are indispensable.

Chapter 21 I want to graduate! (Old version)
On the podium, the Third Hokage was giving a speech with a kind face, which stunned a group of little kids. Xia Yan stood in the back row stupidly, his mind not on the Third Hokage at all.
What’s the difference between this boring speech and pyramid selling? Using heroic deeds to instigate one ninja after another to die, look, Xia Yan’s stupid brother was stunned by the coaxing.
Suddenly, a small white hand appeared in his sight, and Xia Yan’s unfocused pupils finally recovered. He looked closely and saw something delicious. Phew, it was a cute little loli, wearing black stockings, Tsk tsk… Xia Yan felt that his lolita complex was burning.
That’s right, this little loli is Uchiha Izumi. In the original work, she was supposed to like Itachi, but Xia Yan wanted to prevent Shisui from being single, so he directly snatched Uchiha Izumi away. Well, let his stupid brother be gay with Shisui.
Xia Yan naturally responded with a smile to a cute little loli. There were not many women in this world that he could fancy. The Hinata sisters were a pair, Uchiha Izumi was one, and maybe it would be better to add Konan to the mix. That would be about it.
Half an hour later, the Third Hokage’s speech finally ended. At this point, Xia Yan and his group of students officially enrolled. A fat Chunin teacher led them to the first-grade class.
Xia Yan deliberately sat with Uchiha Izumi, and Itachi sat on the other side of him.
I looked around the class and found that there were not many people I knew. I could only say that I was born in the wrong era. There were no beautiful girls. There was a little loli named Inuzuka Hana, who was very cute, but unfortunately, Xia Yan had no interest in her. This loli was cute now, but she would become ugly when she grew up.
After all, girls change a lot when they grow up. It is better not to make any move on a loli you don’t know, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life.
“Xia Yan, please take care of me in the future!” Although Quan was a little shy, he was more happy and greeted Xia Yan with a red face.
“Take care of me…” Xia Yan raised his eyebrows, looking at the teacher who was speaking nonstop on the podium, he felt a little annoyed. To put it bluntly, this ninja school is to train teamwork awareness and brainwashing. As for ninjutsu, they don’t teach it at all. After all, most families already have ninjutsu and there is no need for school to teach.
“I’m afraid that’s not possible. I want to graduate!”
“What?”
Hearing Xia Yan’s words, Quan and Itachi were stunned. Graduation? Are you kidding? Today is only the first day of school. Graduating so soon is something that has never happened in Konoha’s history. Although the three ninjas graduated at the age of six, including Kakashi later, the times are different now.
At that time, children started school at the age of five, and graduated after at least one year of school. But Xia Yan was going to graduate on his first day of school. This was really unbelievable.
“Brother, you are not kidding!” Itachi frowned slightly. Although he had seen Xia Yan kill several ninjas in the past, he could not understand how strong he was. After all, Xia Yan relied on the Twelve Trials to fight back at that time. Apart from showing unique defensive abilities, he did not show any good performance in physical skills and ninjutsu.
Uchiha Itachi found it unbelievable that he was about to graduate under such circumstances. In his opinion, ninjutsu was the most important thing for a ninja.
“Xia Yan, don’t be impulsive, what if…” Quan was a little panicked. On the one hand, he was afraid that Xia Yan would fail the exam and be embarrassed, and on the other hand, he was also worried that it would be difficult to see him in the future.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I said that because I am confident!” Xia Yan waved his hand nonchalantly. Just kidding, with his current chakra level, combined with the Infinite Sword System and the Twelve Trials, it would be more than enough to kill a Jonin, let alone a small graduation exam?
Having said this, Xia Yan raised his right hand.
The Chunin teacher who was giving a speech noticed Xia Yan’s actions and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. After all, being interrupted during a speech was a very unpleasant thing, especially since Xia Yan was a member of the Uchiha clan. However, students also have the right to speak, so he had no reason to say anything.
“Xia Yan, do you have any questions?” The Chunin teacher picked up the kettle beside him and asked while drinking water. He was a little thirsty after giving a speech for such a long time.
“Teacher, I want to apply for graduation!”
puff!
The Chunin teacher was choked and started coughing. After a while, he finally caught his breath. His face turned red and he looked at Xia Yan as if he had seen a ghost. Graduation? Are you kidding? Today seems to be the first day of school. You want to apply for graduation without even attending a single day of school?
The rest of the students also began to whisper.
“He’s from the Uchiha clan, right? He seems to be Itachi’s brother. Tsk tsk, these two brothers are really more arrogant than each other!”
Many students knew Xia Yan and Itachi. After all, the two of them seemed out of place among a group of children. Itachi was precocious and spent the whole day thinking about the meaning of life.
Xia Yan is not precocious, but his mental age is already very old. It is impossible for him to play ninja games with a group of children. Most importantly, he is thinking about how to become stronger all day long. How can he have the mood to play? Do you think you are the goddess Hinata?
As time went by, the two brothers naturally became freaks in the eyes of the other children, especially their steady appearance which made others think that they were very arrogant.
“Shh, stop talking. These two guys are practicing hard all day long. Maybe they can even pass the graduation exam!” A boy with a Shamatte hairstyle said sarcastically. It sounded like he was acknowledging Xia Yan’s strength. In fact, anyone could see that this guy was waiting to see a joke.
The Chunin teacher was also frightened, but he quickly recovered and asked, “Uchiha Xia Yan, do you know what you are talking about?”
Xia Yan couldn’t help but curl his lips at the teasing and ridicule of these people. They were just a bunch of small minions who went with the flow. They were just lucky to be born in today’s peaceful times. If it were in the past, they would probably not survive more than a few chapters. Even so, when the Fourth Ninja World War comes, these guys will probably die before they can even get a bottle of soy sauce.

Chapter 22 will never be changed! (Old version)
“Of course I know what I’m talking about. I feel that with my current strength, the Ninja School can no longer teach me anything!” Xia Yan expressed his thoughts without any hesitation.
Are you kidding? Instead of wasting time in ninja school, he might as well use the time to practice. With the passive talent of magic recovery C, he can refine chakra every minute. The most important thing is that it is too difficult to obtain magic crystals now. In more than a year, he has almost killed all the beasts in the forest, but the magic crystals have increased by a few hundred, which is really unbelievably small.
There are only a few hundred magic crystals in more than a year. How long will it take to wait for the next ten consecutive draws? Now he only has 730 magic crystals, and he still needs more than 2,000. Xia Yan calculated that if he stayed in school and took classes, it would take at least three years to get 2,800 magic crystals.
Isn’t this a trap? He doesn’t have three years to spare. Especially when he defeated the nine-tailed monster last time and got so many magic crystals at once, he looked down upon the growth rate of these magic crystals. It’s like you playing a game and worked so hard for more than a year to only accumulate a few hundred diamonds. You would probably be so angry that you would uninstall the game directly.
But things are different after graduation, when he becomes a ninja, he can go out to do missions, and the chances of obtaining magic crystals will be greatly increased. It would be even better if he can enter the Anbu, which almost always carries out annihilation missions. After a few months, he will be able to get ten consecutive draws.
As for the saying that a single draw can lead to a miracle, Xia Yan really cannot agree with it. As the leader of the non-Africans, Xia Yan is completely the opposite. A single draw will definitely ruin your life, while ten consecutive draws may lead to a miracle. Therefore, he will never do a single draw. If he wants to do something, he will do it big.
At least if they draw ten times in a row, they are guaranteed to get complete items. If you draw alone, if you are unlucky, you might only get fragments after drawing a dozen or even dozens of times. That would be really annoying.
“This guy is so arrogant that he actually said that school can no longer teach him anything!”
Xia Yan’s words were undoubtedly arrogant, which was equivalent to slapping the teacher in the face, and immediately caused a heated discussion.
Although Xia Yan felt a little sorry about this, there was nothing he could do. He could not continue to dive, otherwise the Holy Grail’s golden finger would be wasted. It was obvious that he could not survive the Fourth Ninja World War relying solely on the Infinite Sword System and the Twelve Trials.
As for the low-key idea at the beginning, Xia Yan gave it up. In the past, he hunted animals in the forest every day and could slowly accumulate magic crystals. However, he forgot a very important problem, that is, with his hunting, the number of animals will become fewer and fewer, and in the end they will even become extinct. Just like now, there are only a few hundred magic crystals in more than a year. When will it end?
Although it only costs 2800 to do ten consecutive draws, the question is, can you guarantee that you can draw good things every time?
If he had drawn Avalon now, he wouldn’t have anything to worry about, because it is the strongest defense that can block all attacks. Even if he can’t win, I can always hide. But unfortunately, the more you want it, the less likely you are to get it.
There was no other way. He felt that he could no longer keep a low profile. Whether it was a conspiracy or murderous intent, as long as he was strong enough, he would snatch Hinata and her sister away even if he had to rob them. What could Hyuga do to him? What could Danzo do to him? What could Konoha do to him?
Speaking of which, Hinata seems to be almost two years old. When will she be sneaked out with her face covered with a black cloth and raised?
Of course, this is just an idea. He prefers the sisters to Hinata alone. Let’s wait until Hanabi is born.
This guy has already regarded these two sisters as his own property.
“Student Uchiha Xia Yan, according to the regulations, students must study for six years before they can graduate. Even if you want to graduate early, you need the approval of your parents and the Hokage. Now just sit down and listen to the class carefully!” The Chunin teacher took a deep breath. He was angered by Xia Yan’s words. After teaching for so many years, this was the first time he encountered such a student.
Graduating on the first day of school? You must be kidding. This is unheard of.
“This is something I can decide on my own. I don’t need to go through my parents. This is my graduation application. Please give it to Lord Hokage!” Xia Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. No matter what, he had to graduate. Staying in the ninja school was just a waste of time.
Although arranging a shadow clone to go to school can solve the problem of training time, the magic crystal is his most urgent need at the moment. There are about seven years left before the Uchiha clan is exterminated. Xia Yan does not have so much time to waste. He must have the power to terrify the Uchiha or Konoha.
The Chunin teacher took Xia Yan’s graduation application in a daze, but reacted quickly. After looking at Xia Yan deeply, he quickly walked out of the classroom. I think he was going to report to the Hokage. After all, this matter was too big. He had to graduate on the first day of school. This had never happened in the history of Konoha.
“Brother, you are too impulsive. Hokage will not agree. Besides, you have not discussed this matter with father. In case you fail the exam, father will…” Itachi was a little angry, and his usually calm face became impatient.
It is difficult to judge Xia Yan’s behavior at the moment, but there is no doubt that if he passes the graduation exam, it will bring supreme glory to Uchiha and shock the entire Konoha.
But conversely, the higher you are praised, the harder you will fall. Once you fail, both Xia Yan and Uchiha will probably become the laughing stock of the entire Konoha. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Uchiha who regard glory as more important than life.
Not to mention whether Uchiha Fugaku would punish him, the Uchiha clan alone would reprimand him.
“Yes, Xia Yan, you should go and admit your mistake to the teacher as soon as possible, so that it won’t become irreversible!” Quan also advised with a worried look on her face. The impact of this incident will be great. She is afraid that Xia Yan will fail and will suffer a huge blow.
Xia Yan was a little helpless. Whether it was Itachi or Izumi, they had too little confidence in themselves. But after thinking about it, Xia Yan didn’t blame them. After all, he had been too low-key over the years. He practiced alone every day, working hard to refine chakra and the like. He even only learned one ninjutsu, the Great Fireball Technique.
Chapter 23 Disposal! (Old Version)
“Once the words are spoken, they can be taken away. In short, I will not change my mind. Just wait and see!” Xia Yan shrugged. There was nothing much to explain. In this situation, only facts could prove everything.
Seeing Xia Yan so determined, Itachi didn’t know what to say. Although his brother seemed very kind on weekdays, he was actually very stubborn in his bones. It could be seen from his desperate practice every day. He could endure such high-intensity and boring practice. His stubborn temper was not exaggerated.
Quan wanted to say something but stopped herself, but seeing that even Itachi stopped talking, it was even more difficult for her as an outsider to interrupt. She could only pray silently that this matter could be resolved safely, otherwise Xia Yan would have to live in the shadow of being criticized by thousands of people in the future.
Xia Yan’s graduation application was soon presented to the Third Hokage. Without a doubt, the Third Hokage’s face immediately darkened. Graduating on the first day of school was something that had never happened since the establishment of Konoha. Even his three disciples took a year to graduate.
This matter may seem like just a student’s graduation exam, but in fact the impact is very great. Once Xia Yan successfully graduates, his fame will probably be pushed to the peak. In another ten years or so, it is hard to say who will be the fifth generation Hokage.
After thinking about it, he called the two consultants and the head of the Anbu, Danzo. Putting the two consultants aside, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to know more about Danzo’s thoughts. Although he disagreed with many of this guy’s methods, it was undeniable that Danzo’s ideas were better for some things.
“Since he wants to graduate, let him graduate!”
After hearing about Xia Yan, Danzo was surprised at first, and then said something that made the Third Hokage unbelievable. There was also a Chunin teacher kneeling below him who was equally surprised.
“But he has just started school. Don’t you think it’s too fast?” The Third Hokage frowned, not understanding what this friend-enemy guy was thinking.
“Hmph, this kid is a genius. Although this has never happened before, there are many cases of early graduation. Besides, even though he applied for graduation on the first day of school, he is still six years old, the same age as Jiraiya and the others when they graduated!” Danzo said indifferently.
“It’s different now than it was before. That time was an era of war!” The Third Hokage was a little unhappy.
“Let him try it for now. If he really has this ability, it will be a blessing for Konoha!” Danzo looked indifferent and no one knew what he was thinking.
But the Third Hokage was not a fool. After a brief moment of anger, he quickly realized something. He looked at the Chunin teacher kneeling below and said, “Go down first. Let’s discuss this matter first!”
“Yes!” The Chunin teacher didn’t dare to say more, but he was very depressed in his heart and didn’t understand what Danzo was doing.
After the Chunin teacher left, the Third Hokage stood up from his chair and said with an unhappy look on his face, “Danzo, you should know the consequences of agreeing to let this kid graduate. The Uchiha are quite hostile to the village now. If that kid really succeeds in graduating, you will know what the consequences will be!”
The Third Hokage is not exaggerating. The Uchiha clan now hates Konoha very much. The reason they can hold back is because Uchiha Fugaku is trying to mediate. On the other hand, most of the clan members are also afraid of Konoha. If it weren’t for the situation, I believe most of the Uchiha clan would just feel resentment at most.
However, once Xia Yan graduates, it will be a huge event. Graduating on the first day of school can be said to be unprecedented for Konoha. Undoubtedly, the huge impact will bring about huge momentum, which will make the people of the Uchiha clan feel a strong sense of superiority, thus creating an illusion that they can fight against the entire Konoha.
This is definitely not a good thing for Konoha at the moment.
“Calm down, Sarutobi!” Danzo snorted, with a sneer on his face. “You just said that this is based on the premise that the kid can successfully graduate, but what if it’s the other way around?”
“in turn?”
The Third Hokage was also a smart man. He immediately understood what Danzo meant. “You have a good idea, but we should be prepared for the worst. Since that child dared to apply for graduation, he must be sure to pass the graduation exam. I’m afraid your idea won’t work!”
The graduation exam is divided into theory and practical skills. I won’t say much about the theoretical exam, and the so-called practical skills are just a test of the skill of cloning. This may be a big problem for ordinary students, but it should not be a difficult task for people from a big family like Uchiha.
“Sarutobi, you are as old-fashioned and inflexible as ever!” Danzo couldn’t help but sneer, not caring at all about the increasingly ugly expression of the Third Hokage, and continued, “Although the content of the graduation exam is fixed, we can also make corresponding changes according to different situations, thereby increasing the difficulty of passing!”
“What do you mean?” The Third Hokage didn’t even have time to be angry.
“Didn’t that brat say that with his strength it would be a waste of time to stay in the ninja school? Then let us prove his strength!” Danzo narrowed his eyes, which flashed with a faint cold light. He was much more afraid of the Uchiha clan than Sarutobi Hiruzen.
“Wang, come out!”
As Danzo’s voice fell, a man in a black robe appeared, knelt on one knee on the ground, and took off his mask. He was a smiling young man, but a strong murderous aura could be felt from him. He was a real killer.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and the two advisors couldn’t help but gasp. Now that things had come to this, they certainly knew what Danzo was planning.
“Danzo, you don’t want to…” The Third Hokage came back to his senses, his face a little gloomy. If possible, he really didn’t want to do anything to hit the rookie.
(PS: Dear rich men, please give me some rewards. Any amount is fine. Brushing up the reward list can also increase my popularity. The success of a book cannot be achieved by the author alone. It also needs the support of all book friends.
Of course, the most important thing is collection! )
Chapter 24 Xia Yan’s persistence! (Old version)
“Sarutobi, now is not the time to be soft-hearted. Mao is a member of our Root organization and has the strength of a Jonin. Let him fight that brat. If you do this, that brat will definitely not pass the graduation exam!” Danzo said coldly.
Hearing this, the Third Hokage’s complexion returned to normal, he sighed deeply, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, “It seems that this is the only way, this is also for the good of Uchiha!”
Xia Yan didn’t know that his graduation application letter had aroused so much suspicion from the Third Hokage and Danzo, and he didn’t know that the two old guys had sent a Jonin-level ninja to organize him in order to suppress the Uchiha and prevent him from graduating.
You have to know that the jonin from the Root organization are not like ordinary jonin. They receive the most rigorous training all year round and are proficient in excellent assassination techniques. Every move and every style is for the purpose of killing. To put it bluntly, a jonin from the Root organization may be able to kill two ordinary jonin at the same time.
This is where the gap lies. Otherwise, they would not deserve to be called elites, and would not be favored by Danzo.
After returning home, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto were already sitting at the dining table. The former looked a little unhappy, while Uchiha Mikoto looked a little worried.
“I’m back, Dad, Mom!” Xia Yan sighed. He knew that Uchiha Fugaku knew that he had applied for graduation.
“Welcome back, Xia Yan, Itachi!” Uchiha Mikoto replied softly.
Uchiha Fugaku raised his head and stared at Xia Yan. Xia Yan responded without showing any weakness. He knew that he could not back down now, otherwise he would forget about graduating. After all, if his parents strongly opposed it, it would be useless even if the Third Hokage agreed. After all, Xia Yan was just a child and not yet an adult.
The big and the small stared at each other for more than ten seconds, neither of them willing to weaken. Itachi and Uchiha Mikoto on the side did not dare to interrupt, so they could only let Xia Yan and Uchiha Fugaku solve it themselves.
After a while, Uchiha Fugaku finally withdrew his gaze, pointed to the seat in front of him and said, “Sit down and talk first!”
Xia Yan nodded, sat down cross-legged, and waited for Uchiha Fugaku’s next question.
“Xia Yan, in my heart, you have always been a very sensible child, but why did you do such an impulsive thing this time?” Uchiha Fugaku crossed his arms with a serious face.
He had witnessed Xia Yan’s strength on the battlefield two years ago. His physical defense seemed to be very strong. Although it was amazing, it was not so easy to pass the graduation exam, especially at this critical juncture.
Everyone can see the current relationship between Uchiha and Konoha. The members of the clan are all suppressing their emotions, and it’s just that he, the clan leader, is channeling them. In addition, most of the clan members don’t have the courage to really go to war with Konoha.
But if Xia Yan successfully graduates, there is no doubt that huge popularity will come to Xia Yan, and Xia Yan is a member of the Uchiha clan, which will undoubtedly add to the glory of the family. The clan members who were originally afraid might be stimulated by this and no longer take Konoha seriously. In this case, the consequences will be unimaginable. Perhaps only a small fuse will be needed for Uchiha and Konoha to go to war completely.
Of course, this is not what Uchiha Fugaku is really worried about, and he is not a timid person, so he will start a war if he wants to.
What really worries him is that he can see such an obvious problem, and the Konoha high-level officials must be able to see it as well. So there is no doubt that in order to avoid this situation from happening, the Konoha high-level officials will use thundering means to prevent it.
According to Uchiha Fugaku’s guess, there are two solutions. First, directly reject Xia Yan’s graduation exam. Second, increase the difficulty of the exam. But Uchiha Fugaku knows that the Konoha high-level officials must want to make fun of the Uchiha, so they will most likely choose the second option.
That is to increase the difficulty of the graduation examination.
This is what Uchiha Fugaku is really worried about. He is afraid that Xia Yan will fail because of this. Then Uchiha will definitely suffer the ridicule and mockery of the entire Konoha, not to mention Xia Yan himself. Although it is just a small graduation exam, the Konoha high-level officials will definitely seize this incident to attack Uchiha. On the other hand, people who are dissatisfied with the Uchiha clan will definitely add fuel to the flames in secret.
In this way, what originally seemed to be a small matter will eventually turn into a violent storm.
By then, Xia Yan would continue to endure the accusations and resentment of his clansmen, as well as the ridicule and mockery of outsiders. Moreover, he might even be injured or die during the exam… In short, it is really inappropriate to do such an unprecedented thing at this critical juncture.
There would be no problem even if he started school at the age of five and graduated at the age of six. At least many ninjas in the past graduated after one year of study. However, Xia Yan applied for graduation on the first day of school, which set a precedent.
“Dad, don’t worry, I am sure I can pass this graduation exam and will never bring shame to the family!” Xia Yan didn’t care about the tricks of these senior executives. He would only do what he wanted to do.
Deep down, he actually values ​​freedom very much. He firmly believes that as long as he is strong enough, he can crush all conspiracies, so he will not spend all day thinking about scheming against others, and he does not want to cater to those who only know how to plot.
“It’s not about whether you can pass the graduation exam. Even if you can pass it, it doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. Among them…”
“Dad, even if all of us Uchiha keep our heads down, won’t Konoha be suspicious of us? Won’t the clan members resent the Konoha high-level officials?” Xia Yan couldn’t help but frown, a little impatient. As he just said, he didn’t want to suppress himself in order to cooperate with other people’s conspiracy.
“Okay, Fugaku, Xia Yan has been very smart and mature since he was a child. He must have his own considerations for doing this. Let’s support him!” Uchiha Mikoto loved the child more and couldn’t help but persuade him.
Itachi said nothing. It was obvious that he did not agree with Xia Yan’s approach. He did not want to see the conflict between the village and the Uchiha deepen.
(ps: I won’t say anything more. The plot is about to enter its climax stage. I would like to ask for your support. Please vote more. Collection is the most important thing. If possible, it would be even better if you can give me some rewards!)
Chapter 25: The Eve of the Assessment! (Old Version)
Seeing the determination in Xia Yan’s eyes, Uchiha Fugaku couldn’t help but exhale deeply, then smiled, stood up, patted Xia Yan on the shoulder, and said with a smile, “You are indeed worthy of being my child. Very good, you should move forward according to the path you think is right!”
“Hey? What’s going on?” Xia Yan was a little confused and didn’t know why Uchiha Fugaku’s expression suddenly changed.
As if seeing the doubt in Xia Yan’s eyes, Uchiha Fugaku explained, “Everyone has his own way of ninja. Your mother and I will not interfere with you too much. But there is one thing you must remember. You must think twice before deciding what to do. Then you must have the courage to stick to it. Do you understand?”
Hearing Uchiha Fugaku’s words, Xia Yan couldn’t help but smile and said confidently, “Of course!”
“Okay, now that we’ve talked about it, let’s start eating. The food is almost getting cold!” Uchiha Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out to liven up the atmosphere.
Itachi sat next to Xia Yan with a hint of doubt and confusion in his eyes. He didn’t understand why Uchiha Fugaku would agree with Xia Yan’s approach. Did he really not consider the consequences? Or did his father simply not take the Konoha high-level officials seriously?
When he thought of this, his heart became a little depressed. If things continued like this, sooner or later there would be a big fight between the village and the Uchiha, and they might even end up fighting.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. During this period, Xia Yan never went to school. After all, on the second day, instructions came down from above. The Third Hokage agreed to Xia Yan’s graduation application, and the exam content was changed to a practical assessment, which meant that he had to fight with a Chunin.
Although it sounds unreasonable, there is no way around it. After all, Xia Yan’s early graduation is ridiculous. In the eyes of others, the village is deliberately increasing the difficulty in order to prevent Xia Yan from graduating. Some ignorant people would instead think that the village is doing this for Xia Yan’s own good and does not want him to be exposed to the life of a ninja too early.
“The test is tomorrow? The test teacher seems to be a Chunin, but we must be on guard. The higher-ups will definitely not let me graduate so easily, which means… there are still some variables!”
White light kept flashing in the dim room, and long swords or halberds condensed in his hands one after another. This was the application of projection magic, which was perfect to be used as a reserve weapon for the inherent barrier. Of course, this was also a kind of practice. The more proficient the projection magic was, the higher the projection speed and quality would be.
Anyway, he has the passive talent of magic recovery C, and it would be a waste if he doesn’t make good use of it. The most important thing is that Xia Yan also fantasizes that he will draw the treasure of the king. In this way, the projected treasure can be used as a barrage attack, which is really cool.
All night long, he kept projecting treasures, all kinds of swords, spears, swords and sticks, but unfortunately, it was difficult to project the king’s holy sword. Even if it was projected, it was just an empty shell. Only by self-destruction could a real curry stick be projected. However, Xia Yan was not so stupid. At worst, he could get it through lottery later.
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone in from the window. Xia Yan squinted his eyes slightly. Although he had not slept the whole night, he did not feel sleepy. After all, his physical fitness was very strong now, and he would not feel weak because of not sleeping for a day.
“Power: D!”
“Durability: D++!”
“Agility: C!”
“Magic power (chakra): D! (Overall evaluation: Elite Chunin!)”
“Magic: Inherent Barrier (Unlimited Blade Works)”
This is Xia Yan’s physical stats. Except for agility, the rest are D. His endurance has even reached D++. It may not seem very good, but it is actually extremely amazing. After all, he is only six years old now. Moreover, the endurance of ordinary elite Chunins, even if they specialize in physical skills, is at most at the D level. You can imagine how high Xia Yan’s stats are.
In fact, the rapid increase in endurance is thanks to the Nine-Tails’ chakra. Over the past year, he has been constantly using the Nine-Tails’ chakra to enhance the vitality of his own cells, thereby achieving the effect of physical exercise. Thanks to the Nine-Tails, his strength and endurance have increased so quickly.
After all, chakra is easy to improve, but the limit of the human body is difficult to break. It requires long-term high-intensity training to achieve results. Even after reaching a certain stage, you may only get a little effect after a year of hard training.
“With my current overall strength, even if the Twelve Trials are not taken into account, my combat power is at least comparable to that of a jonin or even higher. If the Twelve Trials are taken into account, it will be difficult to calculate!” Xia Yan pondered for a moment and gave a rough assessment of his own strength.
The battle between ninjas does not rely solely on strength, but also includes countless changes, such as the passive ability of the Twelve Trials. Even if Xia Yan is accidentally killed by a Kage-level ninja, the opponent will inevitably relax his vigilance or even directly ignore Xia Yan who has been killed because he does not know that he has twelve lives.
Needless to say, the result of this disregard is obvious, that is, being killed by Xia Yan. Therefore, Xia Yan said that after adding the Twelve Trials, he could not evaluate how strong he was. If the other party did not understand, even a Kage-level strongman could be killed by him.
However, it is just a graduation exam, so there should be no need for twelve trials. No matter how ruthless the Third Hokage is, he will not take his life. Of course, although he cannot fully deploy the inherent barrier now, he can still project a large number of treasures in one breath. Coupled with the Sharingan and Shuriken Technique… Even if he deals with a Jonin, it is not a big problem.
What’s more, the examiner is only a Chunin, so Xia Yan is 100% confident that he can pass the test.
“Xia Yan, are you up? Don’t forget that today is the day you take the exam, hurry to the first training ground!” Uchiha Fugaku’s voice came from outside the door.
Xia Yan cancelled the attributes of the panel in front of him, then stored the projected treasures into the inherent barrier, and then responded, “I know, it will come out soon!”
(PS: There are four updates today, so why don’t you support me~~~~)
Chapter 26 Sharingan! (Old version)
It was originally just a graduation exam for one student, but there were a lot of people who came to watch the exam, for example, the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi, came, as well as some more famous families such as the Ino-Shika-Chou. These people came to the No. 1 training ground early. As for whether they came to watch the assessment or to laugh at the joke, probably only they themselves knew the answer.
In addition, there are Konoha’s top leaders, two advisors, Danzo, and of course, the Third Hokage is indispensable.
This lineup is unprecedentedly powerful, but there is no way around it. Konoha is now at the center of a storm, and every move affects everyone’s heart. After all, everyone believes that Uchiha has already had the intention to rebel, and all the major families are secretly harboring ulterior motives.
With Xia Yan’s arrival, everyone’s eyes were focused on him. Everyone couldn’t help but marvel and feel very jealous. He was really too young. Why did the Uchiha clan have so many geniuses? He was simply the darling of God.
“Are you Uchiha Xia Yan?” The Third Hokage came up to Xia Yan with a smile on his face. He was very gentle, at least his appearance was perfectly disguised, but no one knew what he was like in his heart.
Danzo, who had remained indifferent, opened his eyes and looked at him deeply.
“Hokage-sama, this is my good-for-nothing child, Uchiha Natsuen!” Uchiha Fugaku said respectfully.
The Third Hokage glanced at Uchiha Fugaku, then set his gaze on Xia Yan, who had an indifferent expression. He felt very sorry and at the same time full of fear. Xia Yan’s performance was too calm. The Third Hokage could see that this was not a deliberate disguise, but his nature.
He has excellent talent and character. He is a talent, an absolute talent. In time, he will surely be better than the Fourth Hokage. The Third Hokage has lived for most of his life, so he still has this vision. However, it is precisely because of this that he feels fear and pity.
He was afraid that Xia Yan’s talent would bring disaster to Konoha. It was a pity that such a talent came from Uchiha. Otherwise, he really wanted to accept him as a disciple.
“Are you ready?” The Third Hokage put aside his thoughts and looked at Xia Yan and said.
Xia Yan nodded, indicating that he was ready. Seeing this, the Third Hokage said nothing more and stepped back for a distance. Uchiha Fugaku patted Xia Yan on the shoulder, said nothing, and walked aside to watch.
Soon, a young man in his twenties came over. He was wearing an ordinary ninja vest, carrying a short sword on his back. His eyes were narrowed into slits, and he seemed very gentle.
“What a fake smile. It gives me a chill. The ancients were right. Most people who squint their eyes are evil!” Xia Yan couldn’t help but feel sick when he saw this man’s smile. He remembered watching a lot of anime before. People who liked to squint their eyes were mostly beasts.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Wang. I’ve heard of you. You are the son of the Minister of Security, Lord Fugaku. You are worthy of being a member of the Uchiha clan. You are really a genius!” The young man narrowed his eyes and spoke in a very gentle voice.
Although it sounded full of compliments and the attitude was very friendly, Xia Yan frowned. This guy was obviously faking a smile, and he controlled it so skillfully. It was not something an ordinary ninja should have. Could he be an Anbu?
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but glance at the Third Hokage and Danzo, but their expressions were normal and nothing could be seen.
“I hope I’m overthinking!” Xia Yan shook his head. Of course, even if the other party was really from the Anbu, he was not afraid. At worst, he could just go all out. Things had come to this point, and he had no way out at all.
“Classmate Xia Yan, are you ready?” The ninja named Wang suddenly asked.
Before Xia Yan could answer, a sound of breaking through the air was heard. It was a kunai. Xia Yan’s face changed slightly. This guy actually launched a sneak attack, which made Xia Yan very annoyed. Without time to think about it, he quickly moved to the side. However, that guy obviously would not let go of such a good opportunity so easily. He shot out kunai one after another, almost without stopping.
Wang was very agile, and the training ground was a simulated battlefield. The surrounding trees all formed a good combat environment. Like a monkey, he kept shuttling between the trees, throwing the kunai in his hand one after another.
“Damn it, this guy actually attacked me by surprise!” Uchiha Fugaku’s face looked very unhappy, but he didn’t know what to say. After all, the departure of the Third Hokage just marked the beginning of the assessment. However, no one expected that the assessment teacher would be so petty and actually attacked while speaking.
The kunai and darts were so fast that Xia Yan could only see a blurry shadow with his eyesight. He knew that the opponent’s shuriken technique and physical skills were very powerful, and without using the Twelve Trials, Xia Yan would not be able to dodge easily.
“There is no other way, I can’t hold back anymore!” Xia Yan closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes. However, his pupils were no longer black, but a pair of scarlet Sharingan, and with double magatama.
“Sharingan!”
The power of the double-magatama Sharingan is several times stronger than that of a single-magatama, and its dynamic vision is also much stronger. The kunai and darts that were originally unclear can now be easily seen.
“Sure enough, the speed seems to have slowed down a lot!” Xia Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, clenched his right hand and then opened it, three kunai appeared between his fingers, and he threw them at the flying shuriken. At the same time, he took out three darts with his left hand and threw them out as well.
Ding~ding~ding~
A few barely audible collision sounds were heard, but the opponent’s kunai was not shot down, but the flight trajectory of the kunai was slightly changed. In terms of physical skills, Xia Yan would not lose to others. He easily dodged the kunai that was offset. Under the sunlight, the chakra lines flashed with silver light.
“I see. By throwing ninja tools continuously to catch the enemy off guard, the silk thread tied to the end of the kunai can be concealed. This method of fighting can only be done by the Anbu. It seems that the Third Hokage is not as merciful as I thought!”
Xia Yan saw through the opponent’s fighting style in an instant, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was a mockery of the Anbu’s arrogance and the Third Hokage.
This kind of combat method is completely meaningless in front of the Sharingan!
Chapter 27 You Lose! (Old Version)
“The Anbu’s fighting method is really petty. They actually take action while others are talking!”
While Xia Yan was dodging the flying kunai, he also threw a few darts from time to time to change the trajectory of the opponent’s kunai. With the powerful dynamic vision of the Sharingan, these attacks could not hide from his eyes.
“What is classmate Xia Yan talking about? How could the teacher be a member of the Anbu!” Wang kept changing positions, and the action of throwing kunai in his hand did not stop at all, and he still had a smile on his face.
“You don’t admit it? But never mind. These are just attacks that are not up to standard. They may be okay against ordinary people, but you seem to have underestimated the Uchiha!” Xia Yan dodged three kunai and did not choose to continue running away. Instead, he took out two kunai and rushed forward.
“Want to compete with me in physical skills? Xia Yan, this is not a good choice!”
Wang was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Xia Yan to actually take the initiative to attack. You know, the main method of fighting just now was to coordinate physical attacks. He originally wanted to throw a few more rounds and then find an opportunity to get close, but he didn’t expect the opponent to actually take the initiative to attack.
However, this was what he had been longing for, so he did not choose to avoid it. Instead, he pulled out the dagger from his back and rushed forward.
“I won’t lose to anyone in a physical contest!”
Xia Yan’s Twelve Trials allowed him to perform physical skills without any scruples. Coupled with the powerful dynamic vision of the Sharingan, it can be said that he had two huge advantages in physical skills. Moreover, these were innate advantages and could not be made up for later.
Both of them moved very quickly, and they started fighting each other as soon as they got close to each other. The collision of kunai and dagger caused a series of sparks. It was worthy of him to be from the Anbu. If it weren’t for the Sharingan, Xia Yan would probably have had to use the Twelve Trials to withstand it.
whoosh!
In addition to the sword fight, this guy did not forget to throw shurikens to interfere. Xia Yan frowned slightly, and his Sharingan easily captured the shuriken. He tilted his head slightly, and the shuriken passed by, and a silk thread flashing with silver light came into his eyes.
“Are you still using this little trick?” Xia Yan glanced at the kunai on the ground and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“I thought he was just a cocky kid, but I didn’t expect he could actually open the Sharingan!” Wang was very shocked. He had shown no mercy in the fight just now, but was still blocked by the opponent. This was simply incredible.
What found it incredible the most was that even though the Sharingan could capture his movements, during the fight, the opponent was clearly a kid, and was definitely inferior to him in both power and physical strength. Why did the opponent still look so energetic?
The fight between the two lasted for less than two minutes, which was a very short time, but in terms of intensity it was no less than a real fight. All the ninjas watching the fight couldn’t help but hold their breath. This little brat from the Uchiha clan was incredible. Facing such a violent attack, he was able to block it all without a single leak. Let alone a six-year-old child, even a Chunin would find it difficult to resist. It was simply unbelievable.
The Third Hokage’s breathing became a little rapid. He finally saw Xia Yan’s terrifying talent. Others might not know, but he knew very well that Wang was a member of the Gen organization, a real Jonin, and was also proficient in assassinations. Ordinary Jonins were no match for him at all.
But now I was blocked by a six-year-old child for two minutes, which is unbelievable.
“Calm down Sarutobi, the battle should be over soon!” A gleam of light flashed in Danzo’s eyes. He was afraid of Xia Yan’s strength but also had a strong desire to possess him. If he could recruit him under his command, he would have a trump card in the future competition for the position of Hokage.
However, he knew how his subordinates fought, and he didn’t think Xia Yan could win. Of course, it didn’t matter even if he lost now. Xia Yan’s performance just now was unmatched by any Genin, not even a Chunin. It could be said to be perfect.
“Humph, a bunch of idiots, wanting to see my Uchiha clan make a fool of themselves is simply wishful thinking!” Uchiha Fugaku felt very comfortable now. Seeing the stunned looks of others, he couldn’t help but feel elated. Looking at Xia Yan who was fighting, he was full of praise, “You are worthy of being my child!”
“This guy’s layout should be about the same!”
Xia Yan glanced around and saw many kunai and shurikens stuck in hidden places. Xia Yan had long seen through the guy’s fighting style and it was completely meaningless.
Sure enough, just as he thought, after throwing the last shuriken, Wang retreated quickly, and stopped only after retreating five or six meters. He had a smile on his face and his eyes narrowed into slits.
“Classmate Xia Yan, I just seemed to hear you say that my attacks are not up to par, is that right?” Wang opened his squinted eyes. Even a trained killing machine would feel angry when being ridiculed by a six-year-old child. The only difference between him and ordinary people was that he was more forbearing and never showed his anger until he achieved his goal.
“Oh? Your fake smile can’t be maintained anymore?” Xia Yan put the kunai into the ninja tool bag and chuckled.
At this point in the fight, the two finally stopped fighting because the surrounding area was filled with steel wires, forming an intricate cage.
“You’re good at talking, but that’s all. Unfortunately, you won’t pass the graduation exam this time!” Wang shrugged and put on his previous fake smile.
The scarlet Sharingan glanced at him, and Xia Yan looked away again, saying nonchalantly, “In battle, there is no distinction between evil and righteousness. As long as you can win, it’s fine. But unfortunately, from the beginning, I have seen through your movements. You lose!”
Hearing Xia Yan’s words, Wang couldn’t keep the smile on his face anymore. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he couldn’t help but sneer in his heart, “After all, he is just a self-righteous brat!”
Thinking of this, he raised the dagger and gently cut a steel wire beside him. Suddenly, all the steel wires began to move like a sophisticated mechanism.
(PS: Thank you for the rewards from those brothers. Since it is forbidden to post thank you chapters now, I can only thank you here. In addition, I also ask for the support of other friends. I update four times a day. I am vomiting blood when I write!)
Chapter 28: Fear and murderous intent! (Old version)
Snap~Snap~Snap~
The steel wires broke one by one, but before Wang could be happy, the sneer on his face froze in the next second, because the steel wires that were supposed to bind Xia Yan had unknowingly bound his hands. That was not the end yet, then his feet, then his waist, and finally his neck. In an instant, all the vital parts of his body were bound up and he could not move at all.
Even though this extremely shocking scene happened before their eyes, the Third Hokage and Danzo found it hard to believe, especially Danzo. That fighting style was the Root organization’s greatest skill, and they had always been invincible, relying on non-stop shuriken attacks to prevent the enemy from getting close and being too busy to deal with them, thus hiding their real killer moves, which should be difficult for even a senior ninja to detect.
But now, not only was he cracked by Xia Yan, but he was also turned against him by using his own method against him. This was really hard for Danzo to accept.
“This kid is so scary. If I can’t use him in the future, I must kill him. Otherwise, let alone helping me compete for the position of Hokage, I’m afraid the entire Konoha will become a possession of the Uchiha clan!” Danzo’s heart was filled with murderous intent. He had never thought of letting someone die like this. It was really that the crisis that Xia Yan brought to him was too great.
He is only six years old. It is said that Uchiha has an even more powerful Mangekyō Sharingan. Once Xia Yan awakens in a few years, who in the entire Konoha can suppress him?
“Why? How could this happen?” Wang also looked incredulous. He hadn’t figured out what had happened. His invincible skills were actually used by his opponent? And the opponent was just a six-year-old kid?
“I’ve just said it, I’ve seen through your shabby skills. When you were throwing the kunai, I used the shuriken to slightly change the trajectory of your kunai, and the final result is what it is now!” Xia Yan said indifferently, as if he had just done something trivial.
This made Wang very angry, but soon he noticed something and turned his head to look in the direction of Danzo. When he saw the murderous intent in Danzo’s eyes, he couldn’t help but shudder in his heart. It was not because he was afraid of being punished, but because he didn’t want to disappoint Danzo.
It has to be said that most of the people in the Root organization are die-hard fans. When it comes to brainwashing, Danzo is much stronger than the Third Hokage.
Xia Yan also noticed this detail and couldn’t help but glance at Danzo, frowning slightly, “Could this guy be a member of the Root Organization? Did Danzo take action?”
“Damn it, damn Uchiha…”
The man who was tied up with the wire struggled violently, and as he continued to struggle, the muscles in his arms and chest kept bulging. It was not an illusion, but this guy actually became stronger. More importantly, the wire that was strong enough to break his neck actually broke inch by inch.
“This is…” Xia Yan frowned and stepped back quickly. He didn’t expect that this guy could actually break the steel wire. This durability is at least D level. However, it was obviously only E++ level at most before. Why did it suddenly increase?
“So that’s it. Is this the result of human experiments?” He soon guessed some possibilities. Danzo was fond of doing research, especially various secret techniques, some of which were techniques to enhance physical strength.
“What’s going on? Is it some secret technique?”
The people watching the fight were also surprised by this situation, and they talked about it one by one, but only Qiu Daodingzuo frowned. The secret technique that could increase physical strength… was very similar to their clan’s multiplication technique, although its power could not be compared with that of the multiplication technique.
Even so, Akimichi Chozo was very angry. The secret technique was the foundation of a family’s existence. He did not expect that it would be studied wantonly by Danzo. Doesn’t this mean that his own secret technique was almost like child’s play in the eyes of the other party?
The Third Hokage also frowned and glanced at Danzo beside him, but found that the other party still had a calm expression. Helplessly, the Third Hokage could only turn a blind eye. It would not benefit anyone if such things were revealed. Now the Root organization is too powerful, even bigger than the Uchiha organization.
“With that kind of chakra, he is clearly a jonin, and moreover, he is Danzo’s root. It is really outrageous. It’s just a graduation exam, but the difficulty is adjusted to this level!” Uchiha Fugaku’s face was very ugly. Although he had guessed early on that the Third Hokage and his men would make the exam content more difficult, he never expected it to be this difficult.
A jonin, and one from the Root organization, is this really a genin exam and not a jonin selection? What a joke.
“Kid, you made me angry. I won’t hold back next time!” After breaking free from the wire, Wang was filled with murderous intent. As a member of the Root organization, he had to complete his mission even if he died. So he decided to do his best, even if he had to pay with his life afterwards, as long as he could get rid of this stumbling block for Lord Danzo, he would do it at all costs.
He quickly formed seals with both hands, “Fire Style, Head Hard Work!”
In an instant, an incomparably huge fire bomb rushed over, and the scorching breath seemed to ignite the air. This was a B-level fire ninjutsu, and it was used with maximum chakra. The lethality was probably close to A-level.
“This is too much. It’s just a Genin test, but you actually used such a powerful fire escape technique. Isn’t this deliberately trying to kill people?”
Everyone’s faces changed drastically. Although they all wanted to see the Uchiha clan make a fool of themselves, no one thought of letting Xia Yan die. After all, the Uchiha clan was too strong. If he really died in the assessment, it would probably cause a huge storm, and maybe even cause the Uchiha to rebel directly. This was not what they wanted to see.
“Damn it, it’s really damnable, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, if anything happens to my child, I will make you pay a heavy price even if I have to sacrifice all the Uchiha!” Uchiha Fugaku’s face was even uglier.
The fire escape technique is so powerful and has such a wide attack range that it is impossible to escape. If you want to resist it head-on, unless you are good at special defensive ninjutsu, ordinary earth escape technique is useless.
At this moment, even the Third Hokage had cold sweat on his back. He never expected that things would develop to this point.
(PS: Please give me rewards, please collect, please give me flowers!!!)
Chapter 29: Terrible Mindset! (Old Version)
“Sarutobi, calm down. He’s just an Uchiha. At worst, I can just push my subordinate out to take the blame. In this way, the Uchiha won’t have anything to say, right?”
Danzo was not worried at all. He wished Xia Yan died here. As for sacrificing a subordinate, he did not take it to heart. To him, subordinates were just chess pieces that could be discarded after being used. As for whether Uchiha would hold on to this point, Danzo thought it was better not to let go. He could take this opportunity to eliminate Uchiha.
Everyone was worried about Xia Yan, but the person involved had a calm face, raised his right hand slightly, and recited the spiritual words.
“This body is the bone of a sword… Blazing Sky Covered by Seven Rings…!”
As the Word Spirit chanted, a huge amount of chakra burst out from his body, and then a shield formed by seven petals appeared on his right hand. This was not over yet, an orange laser shot out from the center of the petals, and shields formed wherever it passed, and seven defensive walls were formed in the blink of an eye.
The Seven-Layer Ring of Blazing Sky has seven shields, and the defensive power of each one is comparable to that of an ancient city wall. Even the true name of the Piercing Death Thorn Spear can be completely blocked. This kind of defense can probably only be completely shattered by a Six-Path level powerhouse.
The terrifying fireball hit the seven-layer ring of Chi Tianfu, and a violent aura swept across, even blowing away a layer of soil on the ground. However, what surprised everyone was that such a powerful fire escape could not even break the first layer of defense. The fireball could not even create a ripple when hitting it.
Can a mere B-level ninjutsu destroy an ancient city wall? This is simply wishful thinking. Perhaps only the Nine-Tails’ Tailed Beast Ball can do this.
When the flames and shock waves dissipated, the seven-layer rings of Chitianfu did not move at all, and Xia Yan did not move at all. This made Wang’s eyelids twitch. He really could not understand the situation before him. This level of defensive ninjutsu, let alone seeing it, he had never even heard of it.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Before Wang could come to his senses, more than a dozen giant swords fell from the sky and pierced directly around him, fixing his body and limbs, forming a dense and solid cage.
“Are you a little calmer?” Xia Yan dispersed the seven-layer ring of Chi Tian Fu, clenched his right hand slightly, and a blood-red spear appeared in his hand. He leaned back slightly, and then threw the blood-red spear in his hand fiercely.
This is a treasure projected according to the prototype of the Piercing Deaththorn Spear. It is of C grade. However, since it is an anti-human treasure, its lethality is actually no less than that of B grade. Unfortunately, it is not the real thing, so its true name cannot be released. Even so, the penetrating power alone is not something a human body can withstand.
The blood-red spear pierced Wang’s heart, which made everyone frown. It was just a Genin assessment, and the battle was so intense that someone even died. This time, the matter might have become a big deal.
What shocked everyone the most was that almost no one had seen Xia Yan’s series of methods. They could all see that this was probably not as simple as just ninjutsu. He could create ninja tools with unparalleled defense out of thin air, and there was also the huge sword and the scarlet spear. It was simply unbelievable.
The swords and spears stuck in the ground and in Wang’s body turned into starlight and dissipated. His heart was pierced, and he would definitely not survive. His eyes were full of resentment. He was an elite of the Root organization, but he did not die at the hands of the enemy, but died in a Genin assessment. This was really too frustrating.
Xia Yan walked up to this guy and contacted Alice in his mind, asking her to pick up all the magic crystals on the ground. There were actually two hundred of them. This made a hint of joy flash across Xia Yan’s face. Humans are indeed worthy of being the most intelligent creatures on earth. These magic crystals come quickly.
But soon, his complexion returned to normal. Looking at Wang, who was full of resentment, he said calmly, “Don’t look at me like that. You were the first one to kill me, but you were not as skilled as me, so you died in my hands. Don’t forget, those who kill will be killed. I believe that if it was an ordinary person, he would have been the one to die!”
“Damned Uchiha… Lord Danzo will not let you go!” He gritted his teeth and uttered these harsh words, then fell to the ground, blood flowing from the wound.
“It’s just the barking of the weak!” Xia Yan curled his lips. Danzo actually dared to attack him. Sooner or later, he would pay the price.
The whole place was silent, and everyone was looking at Xia Yan with rapid breathing. At this moment, no one dared to underestimate him anymore. The strength shown by the assessment teacher just now was at least at the level of a jonin, but he was still easily killed by Xia Yan. They all saw it clearly just now that throughout the battle, the assessment teacher was suppressed by Xia Yan and couldn’t even make a wave.
This person is extremely strong in both strength and combat awareness. This kind of person… no, he can no longer be considered a human being. He is only six years old and yet he is so amazing. It is not an exaggeration to call him a monster.
Danzo was stunned for a while, and after he came to his senses, his face became gloomy. He had never expected this result. He thought he had overestimated Xia Yan, but now it seems that he has underestimated him. He couldn’t help but feel that the strength Xia Yan showed now was probably just the tip of the iceberg, and perhaps there were even stronger cards hidden.
“Could it be that this guy already possesses the strength to rival the Kage?” As soon as this thought arose, he frantically denied it. If this was the case, it would be too scary. It should be said that it is scary enough now. Even the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was not so strong at this time.
When he thought of this, the murderous intent in Danzo’s heart rose wildly. He no longer wanted to use Xia Yan for his own benefit. Although a genius is good, being too talented would be a disaster. The most important thing is that Danzo felt that Xia Yan’s character was too terrible. He had been unknown before and only showed it now. It was really terrible that he knew how to endure at such a young age.
You know, if it were another child with genius talent, he would have been a household name long ago, just like Itachi, who was very famous among his peers. On the other hand, Xia Yan’s talent and strength were far superior to Itachi’s, but he was not as famous as Itachi.
Chapter 30: Danzo takes the blame! (Old version)
In fact, Danzo was just overthinking. Xia Yan had never been hiding anything. He had just been practicing silently. Except for his family and Uchiha Izumi, he rarely contacted outsiders, so others could not notice his abnormality.
The Third Hokage had a very unhappy expression on his face, and was very wary of Xia Yan. He was so talented, and could kill ninjas from the same village without hesitation. This was really scary. This kind of person was just like a wild horse. If he wasn’t controlled properly, the entire Konoha would be in an irretrievable situation.
Although he really wanted to take this opportunity to sentence Xia Yan to the crime of murdering his companion, he could not do so at the moment. After all, everyone saw that it was clearly the examiner who killed first. More importantly, anyone could see that the examiner’s strength was at the Jonin level. Anyone who was interested would probably understand the meaning of it if they thought about it.
If Xia Yan were held accountable at this time, the Third Hokage would undoubtedly be branded as someone who deliberately obliterated a talented younger generation, and his time as Hokage would probably come to an end, so he had to endure it.
“Danzo, what’s going on? Why is the assessment teacher a jonin? Do you want to deliberately hinder Xia Yan’s graduation?” The Third Hokage suddenly shouted at Danzo.
Danzo couldn’t help but be stunned after being yelled at by the Third Hokage. When he saw the suspicious eyes of the others, he suddenly felt like a thousand alpaca horses galloping through his heart. Damn Sarutobi, you actually started to pass the buck so quickly. You clearly made the decision about this idea yourself, and now you are pushing it all on me?
Although he wanted to curse in his heart, this was not the time to argue. Otherwise, not only would he be laughed at, but his years of forbearance would also be wasted. Besides, as the head of the Anbu, his original duty was to deal with such dark matters. After all, the Hokage would always be the light of Konoha, and the darkness could only be borne by him, the head of the Anbu.
“You are so cruel, Sarutobi!” Danzo looked at the Third Hokage deeply, and then said indifferently, “This is a necessary measure. Xia Yan is still too young. I hope he can enjoy a few more years of childhood happiness, so I deliberately made things difficult for him. But what I didn’t expect was that my subordinates would lose control because of shame. I am deeply sorry for this!”
It was a very good reason. At least on the surface it seemed to be for Xia Yan’s own good. The patriarchs of the major families all spit in their hearts. He was indeed worthy of being the Minister of the Anbu. He could even turn black into white.
But no one objected. After all, things in the world are not just black and white, there is also gray, and everyone knows it. If you insist on making it clear, it will probably only embarrass each other. Apart from the Uchiha family, which family dares to confront Danzo?
“Hmph, you should reflect on this matter carefully. Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise we in Konoha would have lost a genius.” The Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked very serious on the surface.
After teaching Danzo a lesson, he put on a gentle smile, walked up to Xia Yan, stretched out his right hand and gently touched Xia Yan’s head, and said, “Child, you are not hurt, are you? It was grandpa’s fault just now. If I had known this would happen, I would not have let Danzo be responsible for selecting the assessment teacher!”
High, this change of attitude is really fast, and the acting skills are also first-class. Xia Yan did not dodge, but lowered his head slightly, his eyes full of disdain. “If I were just an ordinary kid, I might have been fooled by you. With such superb acting skills, why would you be a Hokage? Filming is your destiny. Maybe you can become the number one idol of Hokage!”
Thinking this in his heart, he remained calm on the surface, letting the Third Hokage touch his head and said, “Hokage, I’m fine, but I accidentally got too excited just now and killed the assessment teacher by mistake. What should I do?”
Too excited?
The corners of the Third Hokage’s mouth twitched. Everyone saw the situation clearly just now. You were very calm from beginning to end, and in the end you killed the opponent after you had subdued him. Now you tell me it was an accidental killing?
However, they were not fair in the end, so he could not pursue the matter. He could only pretend to be angry and said, “Kid, this is not your fault. It was the examiner who attacked you regardless of his status. You were just defending yourself at most. Don’t worry, we won’t blame you!”
Xia Yan rolled his eyes. This old guy was really good at pretending. He was almost a little impatient. Being forced to pretend to be friendly to someone who had obviously just plotted against him made Xia Yan feel very uncomfortable. In order to end this hypocritical conversation as soon as possible, he could only lower his head and remain silent, letting the Third Hokage speak on his own and see how long he could finish.
Without Xia Yan’s cooperation, the Third Hokage couldn’t continue to act, so he could only take out a forehead protector from his body and put it on Xia Yan himself, smiling and saying, “As the Hokage, I congratulate you on your official graduation from the Ninja School. I hope you can work hard for the village in the future, okay?”
“I understand, Lord Hokage!” Xia Yan nodded. The hypocritical speech was finally over. But fortunately, he finally graduated successfully. The next step was to find a way to join the Anbu. Only in this way could he get in touch with those dangerous tasks as quickly as possible.
Because only in dangerous level missions will you have the chance to encounter enemies, but you can also obtain magic crystals.
“etc!”
At this moment, Danzo, who had been being condemned, suddenly stepped forward. Just when Xia Yan thought he was going to cause trouble, he said something that made Xia Yan happy.
“Uchiha Xia Yan, you have good strength and talent. How about joining the Anbu? There, you will get the best training, and only in this way will your talent not be wasted!” Danzo said lightly.
“What is Lord Danzo doing? Not only did he not suppress Uchiha Xia Yan, but he even invited him to join the Anbu?”
The patriarchs of the major families were a little confused. Not everyone can enter the Anbu. In other words, being able to enter the Anbu means a bright future. How many people want to enter the Anbu but cannot?
Regardless of what others think, Xia Yan certainly would not refuse this opportunity. He immediately nodded and said, “I am willing to join the Anbu!”
Chapter 31 Report! (Old version)
The Genin examination was full of twists and turns, but it was finally successfully concluded. Everyone was amazed at Xia Yan’s talent, and were jealous that the Uchiha clan had produced such a genius. After word of mouth spread, it would probably not take long for the news to spread throughout Konoha.
Although he was not the earliest graduate in history, he was undoubtedly the fastest graduate. He applied for graduation on the first day of school, successfully passed the assessment of a senior ninja, and was personally invited by the Anbu chief Danzo to join the Anbu. This is a shocking thing no matter in which era.
Let’s not talk about others for now. When the news of Xia Yan’s graduation spread, those people who were about his age were envious, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they admired him. Speaking of this, the one who was most depressed was Itachi. They were brothers, and Xia Yan was so outstanding that others would inevitably compare the two of them. Of course, the one who was hit was naturally Itachi.
“Being able to join the Anbu is a promising career, but there is one thing you must remember. Don’t trust that guy named Danzo too much, understand?”
At the dinner table, Uchiha Fugaku was very happy. Xia Yan not only made him proud, but also made the entire Uchiha proud. Now the entire Uchiha was talking about Xia Yan, and as a father, he was of course very proud.
“I didn’t expect you to have opened the Sharingan at such a young age, but you shouldn’t slack off because of this. You must train your eye power well!”
As for the strange secret techniques used by Xia Yan, he did not ask at all. As a father, he certainly trusted his child 100%. If he asked one by one, there would be the danger of exposure. As he had said before, ninjutsu is like magic. As long as you tell the truth, it is easy to crack it.
Therefore, Uchiha Fugaku believed that the fewer people knew Xia Yan’s secret, the better, and it would be best if only he himself knew it.
“I understand, Dad!” Xia Yan nodded silently.
“Brother, can you start teaching me ninjutsu tomorrow, okay?” Itachi raised his head and looked at Xia Yan with a hint of desire in his eyes. He also hoped that he could be as powerful as his brother, and maybe he could get closer to the essence of a ninja.
“Sorry, Itachi, I have to report to the Anbu tomorrow. Why don’t you let dad teach you!” Xia Yan smiled. He only knew one Great Fireball Jutsu, which even Infinite Sword Skill Itachi couldn’t learn. How could he teach him?
After being rejected by Xia Yan, Itachi pouted in dissatisfaction and felt very uncomfortable. On the one hand, he admired his brother, but on the other hand, he felt that his brother was getting further and further away from him.
Uchiha Fugaku couldn’t help laughing when he saw Itachi’s expression. “Itachi, your brother is so outstanding, so of course you will feel pressure as a younger brother. But don’t worry, starting tomorrow, your father will personally teach you ninjutsu, so don’t worry!”
“Thank you, Dad!” Itachi nodded helplessly and could only settle for the next best thing.
If Uchiha Fugaku knew Itachi’s idea of ​​settling for second best, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Uchiha Mikoto had a smile on her face from beginning to end. To her, it didn’t matter whether her child was a genius or not. She just wanted her family to live happily. This feeling was not bad now.
Little Sasuke knelt beside Itachi and Xia Yan, watching the scene in confusion. He totally couldn’t understand why his father and brother were so happy, but luckily he was simple-minded and didn’t care about so much, so he also laughed. However, when he opened his mouth, his baby teeth that had not yet grown out could be seen, making him look very cute.
“Sasuke, do you want to learn ninjutsu too?” Itachi is indeed a brother-con. He didn’t care about eating and started teasing little Sasuke, making him laugh again.
Early the next morning, Xia Yan changed into a black short-sleeved shirt and black ninja pants. After packing up his ninja tools, he went out. Today was the day he reported to the Anbu.
As soon as he went out, he met Uchiha Fugaku who was also going to the Guard Department. Xia Yan was slightly stunned, then greeted him.
“Xia Yan, after you go to the Anbu, you must learn the working methods of your predecessors. Another thing is to remember what I told you yesterday, don’t get too close to Danzo!” Uchiha Fugaku warned solemnly.
“Okay, I understand!” Xia Yan nodded.
After going out, the two went their separate ways. The Guard Department was now set up on the edge of the village, while the Anbu was in the center of the village. The locations were completely different.
According to the address given by the Third Hokage, Xia Yan quickly found the location of the Anbu. This organization was indeed built in the darkness. Even its headquarters was set up underground. No wonder the Anbu has always been very mysterious in the eyes of ordinary ninjas.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Just as they were approaching the headquarters of the Anbu, two masked Anbu members stopped Xia Yan and said, “Who are you? If you can’t submit your identity proof, you can’t go any further!”
“I am Uchiha Xia Yan, the member who is reporting here today. This is the appointment letter from Lord Hokage!” Xia Yan handed a document to one of the ninjas.
Although the two ANBU were wearing masks, suspicion could be seen in their eyes. A new member of the ANBU? Just a kid like that? Although he was surprised, the top-secret seal on the appointment letter could not be wrong. Even if it was unbelievable, it was the fact.
“Sorry, we are just doing our routine work. Please go in quickly!” One of the Anbu nodded, handed the appointment letter back to Xia Yan, and then disappeared together.
This was just a small episode. Xia Yan quickly passed through the gate of the Anbu and arrived at the registration office. Without exception, when he handed the appointment letter to the person in charge of review, the other party was surprised for a while, but finally received his equipment, a set of Anbu combat uniforms and a well-made sharp short blade.
(PS: Today the power company sent a message saying that our area will have a power outage from 5am until 8pm. I’m really pissed off, but don’t worry, I will try my best to stay up late and write, and try to finish three chapters before 5pm and publish them on time. I will never miss any chapters.
I just feel weak when I think about sleeping in extremely high temperatures tomorrow. So everyone, the author has worked so hard, don’t you support him? )
Chapter 32 Kakashi, Tenzo! (Old version)
“Assassination of the Special Forces Third Division Sixth Squad?”
Xia Yan changed into the clothes of the Anbu and tied up his long hair with a rubber band, leaving only the long hair on both sides hanging naturally. Looking at his reflection in the mirror, Xia Yan patted his face with satisfaction. He looked not bad. After all, Itachi and Sasuke would both be male god-level figures in the future, and Xia Yan felt the same way.
After changing his clothes, he came to the third squad of the assassination force. After sorting himself out, he pushed the door open and walked in. The room was dark, but he could vaguely see a dozen people looking at him with stern eyes.
“I’m Uchiha Xia Yan who’s reporting in today. Please give me your guidance!” Although these people have a strong aura, Xia Yan will not weaken his momentum because of this. His pupils like black gemstones stare at them unblinkingly.
After a while, a man with short silver hair stood up and said coldly, “I am the monitor of the sixth team of the third division, Kakashi Hatake. Uchiha Xia Yan, from now on you will be in a team with Tenzang and me. Don’t fall behind, understand?”
“I understand, Senior Kakashi!” Xia Yan nodded. He was indeed assigned to Kakashi’s class.
I didn’t expect to be assigned to Kakashi’s team, which made Xia Yan feel relieved. Fortunately, at least two of them were people he was familiar with, one was Kakashi, and the other was Tenzo, who was Yamato, the new teacher of Team 7 in the later period.
“Please take care of me in the future, Xia Yanjun. You can choose your own code name or use your real name, but for a newcomer like you, I recommend that you use a code name!” Tianzang also stood up and said.
Code names are used to conceal one’s true identity, but for a small number of famous people, code names have lost their meaning, so it doesn’t matter whether or not to have a code name. For example, Kakashi made a name for himself as a copy ninja during the Third Ninja World War and was known by many ninjas. So even after he entered the Anbu, he always used his real name, because his information had long been known by ninjas from other villages, and a code name was just a waste of time.
However, Tenzang used a code name, his real name is Yamato.
“I choose to use my real name!” Xia Yan didn’t want to get any code name, it was just a waste of time. The so-called code name was just used to hide his identity, so as to reduce the risk of the mission. But in fact, as you become more and more famous, the code name is of no use at all, and others can quickly figure out your true identity.
Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly. He had of course heard about Xia Yan. He had just graduated from the Ninja Academy yesterday, and graduated with great force after killing members of the Root organization under Danzo. Although it was only a day, the matter spread throughout Konoha and was almost known to everyone.
As a fellow genius, Kakashi naturally couldn’t help but keep an eye on Xia Yan, especially he couldn’t let Xia Yan become arrogant because of his talent, otherwise he wouldn’t even know how he died in the future. As a senior, he needed to suppress him a little. This was his accusation as the class monitor, so his tone was very cold from the beginning.
“Although you have just joined the Anbu, unfortunately, our Team 6 has just received a mission, so we have to act immediately. If you can’t keep up, you can also choose to ask for leave!” Kakashi put on the mask and said lightly.
“I couldn’t ask for more!” Upon hearing this, Xia Yan was very happy. Didn’t he join the Anbu just to be able to carry out this kind of annihilation mission? He thought it would be a few days late, but he didn’t expect to get a mission right after joining.
“In that case, let’s go!”
Kakashi said no more and went out first. Tenzang followed closely. Xia Yan also put on a mask and followed Kakashi and the others.
The Anbu’s missions have never been peaceful. This shadowy department only has annihilation missions, just like this time’s mission is to annihilate the spies roaming around the border of the Land of Fire. It is said that the Sand Village is stationed in this place. After all, although it is a peaceful time now, the problems with the Konoha Village and the Cloud Village have not been resolved. The other party does not accept war reparations. In this case, a peace treaty cannot be signed.
After several years of recuperation, the once defeated Sand Village is naturally still unwilling to give up and wants to make a comeback. They are waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the Cloud Village and Konoha Village to fail in negotiations and start a war against each other, and the Sand Village can reap the benefits.
After a three-hour trek, the three finally arrived at the spy base mentioned in the mission, which was an abandoned building.
“There are a total of five Sand Ninja spies in this abandoned building. The mission is very simple, which is to kill them all and destroy this stronghold. Is that a problem?” Kakashi glanced at Tenzang, and then turned his gaze to Xia Yan.
“No problem!” Xia Yan nodded. If possible, he really wanted to let himself deal with all the people, but obviously, Kakashi would not agree.
“Let’s start the action. Tenzang, you will be responsible for luring the enemy, Xia Yan, you will attack from the front, and I will be responsible for stopping the escaping enemy!” Kakashi quickly arranged the tasks, but gave Tenzang a subtle wink.
The two have been working together for so long, Tianzang naturally knows what Kakashi means. Xia Yan is a newcomer after all. Although attacking from the front is the safest, the enemy is a spy after all, and his first mission is to protect intelligence. Once he encounters the enemy, he will definitely not fight hard, so he will choose to escape. So don’t think that Xia Yan is attacking from the front, it is actually the easiest position. Only Kakashi and Tianzang, who are responsible for blocking and luring the enemy, are in danger.
Of course, just in case, Kakashi still asked Tianzang to be more careful and not let Xia Yan die in this first mission. Tianzang naturally understood this.
After assigning the tasks, Kakashi and Tenzang rushed quickly to the left and right. Xia Yan was attacking head-on, so he just had to move forward.
“Sorry, Captain Kakashi, I’m afraid you won’t have the chance to play this time!” Xia Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly. It was not easy to get the magic crystal openly, how could he let this opportunity go to waste.
(PS: This is the second update, please give me rewards, flowers, and collections!)
Chapter 33 Goodbye Danzo! (Old version)
Xia Yan’s speed was extremely fast. As soon as Kakashi and Tenzang rushed out, he moved forward straight and fast like an agile cheetah. His task was to break through directly from the front while mobilizing the chakra in his body and launching the projection magic.
In an instant, dozens of treasures appeared out of thin air. Following Xia Yan’s command, all the treasures shot towards the building.
Boom~Boom~Boom~
There is no doubt about the power of the Noble Phantasms, not to mention that Xia Yan detonated all of them, the power was no less than that of a cannonball. Dozens of Noble Phantasms rushed directly into the building and detonated. In an instant, the abandoned building was blown to pieces. This scene stunned Kakashi and Tenzang, who were about to take charge of their own posts. They were completely unable to understand what was happening before their eyes.
Is this really the way ninjas fight? What about attacking head-on and forcing the enemy to flee before destroying them one by one? What about luring the enemy in? This way of attack is too brutal.
No, that’s not the problem. The most important thing is, how can a six-year-old kid master such a powerful ninjutsu? This is too ridiculous.
This time, not only Tenzang’s eyelids were twitching, even Kakashi, who was once hailed as Konoha’s number one genius, couldn’t help but feel a sense of powerlessness. He finally knew what a true genius was, and everything before him was enough to prove it.
Kakashi and Tenzo were stunned for a moment, but soon remembered their mission and quickly sneaked into the collapsed building. They had to make sure that all the enemies were killed.
The scene inside was undoubtedly horrific. Occasionally one could see a few broken limbs, as well as some pieces of meat and intestines that had not been blown up. The bloodiness was self-evident, but the two had been in the Anbu for a long time and did not feel uncomfortable because of this.
After some inspection, Kakashi and Tenzo finally confirmed that there was no one dead and almost all of them were blown beyond recognition. The best one had half of his body blown off, looking horrible.
“Captain Kakashi, has the mission been completed?” Xia Yan walked over slowly, his mask taken off and a smile on his face.
That’s right, he was in a very good mood now. He had just used his treasure to kill all five spies directly, and he had obtained 500 magic crystals, an average of 100 for each spy. This made him very happy. At this rate, he would be able to obtain a large number of magic crystals soon. Not to mention ten consecutive draws, even a hundred consecutive draws would not be a problem.
“You just used a ninjutsu?” Kakashi rolled his eyes, but quickly said, “Forget it, mission accomplished, let’s pack up!”
He didn’t want to ask what happened just now. Secret techniques are the greatest foundation of a ninja. Even if you ask, the other party will not answer. Why humiliate yourself?
Tianzang was a little depressed. He didn’t expect that he would be overshadowed by a newcomer, and this newcomer was a kid. This made him look at Xia Yan with a strange look.
“Don’t stare at me. I’m sorry, I don’t have that special fetish!” Feeling Tianzang’s resentful gaze, Xia Yan immediately moved away from him with a look of disgust.
“This brat!” The veins on Tianzang’s forehead were throbbing, but he grew up in the Root Organization and his mind was still very simple. He didn’t know how to respond to Xia Yan’s teasing. In this regard, he could only stare blankly.
“Okay, enough joking, let’s go back and submit the mission!” Kakashi also breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Xia Yan would become arrogant because of his talent, which would cause tension between the three of them. But now it seems that Xia Yan is also a person who likes to joke, and he does not have the arrogance of a genius.
“Got it, Senior Kakashi!” Xia Yan nodded. In fact, he teased Tian Zang just to liven up the atmosphere among the three of them. Otherwise, there would be some difficulties in getting along with each other in the future. After all, geniuses seem to be very tall in the eyes of ordinary people, and people stay away from them. Xia Yan doesn’t want to be independent. After all, humans are social animals. At least in Xia Yan’s view, he is always a human being, not a high and mighty god.
The work of the Anbu is actually extremely boring. Every day they are either undergoing training or going out on missions, and every mission is related to killing. Whether it is protecting the big shots of the Fire Nation or annihilating spies from enemy countries, it all requires killing. This is indeed difficult for ordinary people to accept, so the mentality of most Anbu members is extremely dark.
The only belief left is “protecting the village in the darkness”, so the personalities of the Anbu members are extremely extreme. Either they cannot stand this darkness and defect, or they are extremely loyal to the village. However, it is obvious that the latter is more common. As I said just now, the Anbu has killed too many people. If they don’t have the belief of “protecting the village in the darkness”, they will collapse sooner or later. This belief is their only light. Undoubtedly, they will hold on to this ray of light tightly.
Of course, there is an exception, that is Xia Yan. He always rushes to the front every time he carries out a mission, and he wishes to kill all the enemies with his own hands. As a result, Kakashi and Tenzang don’t have many opportunities to take action. This makes the two of them very angry, and at the same time they are a little worried that Xia Yan will develop a bloodthirsty character because of this.
This kind of life lasted for a year. During this period, countless enemies died at the hands of Xia Yan. During this period, he also teamed up with other Anbu members, and without exception, they were all stunned by Xia Yan’s methods. In just one year, Xia Yan’s fame in the Anbu even surpassed Kakashi, which almost stunned everyone.
On this day, Danzo went to the Anbu and specifically found Xia Yan, which made Xia Yan a little confused. Danzo had never been to the Anbu in the past year. Why did he choose to come at this time? And he came directly to me.
“Could he be trying to attack me?” Xia Yan muttered to himself, and soon came to the headquarters office and knocked on the door. Danzo’s voice came from inside, asking him to come in directly.
When I pushed the door open, I saw Danzo already sitting in the main seat, with two ANBU members wearing black robes beside him. From the way they were dressed, it was obvious that they were from Danzo’s secret force, the Root Organization.
“I wonder what Lord Danzo wants me to do?” Xia Yan asked puzzledly, without kneeling.
“How dare you talk to Lord Danzo while standing!” A little minion nearby saw this and immediately shouted in a stern voice.
(PS: This is the third update, the author is already vomiting blood and his eyelids are starting to droop!)
Chapter 34 Promotion? (Old version)
Xia Yan frowned slightly, and his scarlet three-magatama Sharingan stared coldly at this long suit. He was just an unknown minion, but he dared to shout here?
After a year of killing, although Xia Yan did not develop a bloodthirsty character, there was no doubt that every time he killed, his spirit was greatly stimulated. After all, he lived in a peaceful era in his previous life. How could he have been an executioner?
Every mission not only stimulates him mentally, but also exercises his eye power, so his current Sharingan has successfully evolved to three magatama, which shocked the entire Uchiha. Whether it is the speed of opening his eyes or the speed of evolution, Xia Yan can look down on the entire Uchiha!
The ninja who had just scolded felt the temperature of the air drop suddenly when he was glared at by Xia Yan’s cold and powerful eyes. His breathing was suffocated and his eyes looked a little unnatural. If an ordinary ninja was glared at by Xia Yan’s murderous eyes, he would probably collapse in an instant. Fortunately, he was a member of the Root organization.
After coming to their senses, the two Root organization members were very angry. They immediately drew out the long swords behind them and stood in front of Danzo with a fierce momentum, intending to teach Xia Yan a lesson.
“Forget it, it’s just a small matter!” Danzo’s eyes flashed with murderous intent, but it was gone in a flash. His face returned to calmness. After stopping his men, he looked up at Xia Yan and said, “I asked you to come here today because I have a mission for you to do!”
“Master Danzo, please speak!” Xia Yan was too lazy to pay attention to the two minions. He wanted to know what tricks Danzo was trying to play.
“You should know that the Cloud Ninja Village will send peace envoys to Konoha soon!” Danzo didn’t care about Xia Yan’s attitude.
“Peace envoy?” Xia Yan was slightly stunned. This was indeed the case. After several years of talks, the compensation issues between Konoha and Cloud Ninja were finally negotiated, and the Cloud Ninja Village expressed its willingness to send peace negotiators to Konoha Village to sign a peace treaty.
However, Xia Yan knew that this was just a superficial phenomenon. Why couldn’t the peace treaty be signed anywhere else? Why did they have to come to Konoha? Others might not know the reason, but Xia Yan knew it clearly.
“Judging from the time period, little Hinata is already three years old this year. This should be the time when she was almost kidnapped by the Cloud Ninja Village!” Xia Yan thought to himself.
“As expected, it seems you have also guessed that the Cloud Ninja Village’s visit to Konoha this time is not as simple as signing a peace treaty!” Seeing Xia Yan’s understood look, Danzo couldn’t help but smile, but he was even more afraid in his heart. He thought that Xia Yan was too perfect. Not only was he powerful, but his IQ was also so high. Such an enemy was too terrifying.
If a person is strong but has low IQ, he is just a bull. Humans have a hundred ways to subdue him. But if a person is strong and has high IQ, he is undoubtedly a higher-level being than humans, and this kind of being is very troublesome.
Xia Yan didn’t say anything, he knew that Danzo had more to say.
“Most of the Anbu members have gone out to carry out their missions now, but this meeting is also extremely important. In order to ensure that everything goes well, your next task is to monitor the envoys from the Cloud Ninja Village closely after they arrive in Konoha. You must not give them any chance to obtain intelligence!” Danzo took out a mission sleeve and handed it to Xia Yan.
“Also, from today on, you will officially leave Kakashi’s team and take over the position of squad leader of the fifth team of the third division!” Danzo waved his hand, and then two masked men appeared behind Xia Yan. Judging from their attire, they were ordinary Anbu, not members of the Root organization.
“These two people will be your subordinates from now on. I hope you can protect the village well!”
“Please take good care of me in the future, Captain!”
The two Anbu members did not show any dissatisfaction and were too calm. Xia Yan frowned slightly. Although he did not want to admit it, it was undeniable that he was too young and had just entered the Anbu for a year. Normally, most people would not be able to accept such a thing, but these two people were extremely calm, which was not reasonable.
“Is he Danzo’s henchman? Although he is nominally my subordinate, he is actually a pawn used to monitor me, or to eliminate me at the critical moment?” Xia Yan had already guessed some clues in his mind. He didn’t believe that Danzo would be so kind to give him a promotion. If he was being too attentive for no reason, he must be a traitor or a thief.
Thinking of this, Xia Yan opened his Sharingan, slightly turned his head to glance at them. When they looked at each other, Xia Yan directly cast a suggestive illusion. As long as these two people attacked him, this illusion would be activated immediately, and it would also become their death warrant.
Xia Yan’s Sharingan is more comprehensive, neither biased towards physics nor illusion. If you have to say, it may be the same as Itachi in the later period, who is not bad in both illusion and physics.
After accepting the mission, Xia Yan officially left Kakashi’s team and became the captain of Team 5. This shocked Kakashi and the others. Undoubtedly, Xia Yan was the fastest promoted person they had ever seen. However, when thinking of Xia Yan’s performance in this year, Kakashi and Tenzang no longer found it strange. After all, in terms of the number of enemies killed, Xia Yan was top-notch.
Three days later, the envoys from the Cloud Shinobi Village finally arrived in Konoha, led by the Fourth Raikage. The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki did not go with them. After all, the Jinchuriki was like a nuclear weapon. Not to mention considering the safety of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, just bringing the Jinchuriki into another village without authorization would already arouse suspicion.
It’s like you run into someone’s house with explosives tied to your body to chat. I guess no one will be in the mood to chat with you. Who knows if you have ulterior motives?
“Is it finally starting? It seems I can’t have a good rest these few days. For Hinata, I must win at the starting line. Otherwise, if that idiot Naruto succeeds, my stupid brother will be left without a love partner!” The corners of his mouth under the mask rose slightly. Xia Yan felt a little expectant in his heart. He had waited for this moment for too long.
But before that, he must improve his strength again. After a year of Anbu career, the number of his magic crystals has reached 5,360, which means he is only 240 away from two ten-draws. He believes that he can get the number after defeating a few Cloud Ninja Villages, but right now he wants to do a ten-draw first to see if he can draw anything good.
Chapter 35: Wind King’s Barrier! (Old Version)
“Alicevich, bring up the lottery page for me!” Xia Yan ordered.
“Okay, my lord!” Irisviel replied.
The next moment, a panel appeared in front of Xia Yan. The left side was for single draw, and the right side was for ten consecutive draws. With Xia Yan’s poor luck, he certainly would not choose a single draw, so he would wait until the prize was over 2,800 before drawing the lottery.
Without any hesitation, he clicked the ten-pull function and prayed in his heart that it would be great if he could draw out some powerful treasure. At worst, he could get a magic eye or something like instant death or distortion.
He didn’t even think about it. How could the value of the Distortion and the Death Perception Mystic Eyes be lower than that of the Noble Phantasm?
As the lottery began, cards appeared in front of Xia Yan in an orderly manner. There were ten cards in total, which represented the results of his ten consecutive draws. Soon, the ten cards were slowly turned over.
“Twisted Demon Eye Fragment plus three!”
“Sword fragment of the Victory Oath plus one!”
“Petrified Demon Eye Fragment plus one!”
“Twisted Demon Eye Fragment plus two!”
“Piercing Death Thorn Spear Fragment plus one!”
There is only one card left, and this one is the key to truly test Xia Yan’s luck. Even Xia Yan couldn’t help but get nervous. To be honest, he got Twelve Trials in the first of the two ten consecutive draws, and Infinite Sword Works in the second. This luck is almost against the sky, and Xia Yan’s luck value is only B. It is hard to say what he can get this time.
“Congratulations, my Lord, for obtaining the Noble Phantasm: Wind King Barrier!”
Xia Yan was slightly stunned. Of course he knew about the Wind King’s Barrier. This was what King Daigo used to hide his treasure. It used high-speed rotating wind pressure to hide the Sword of Victory Oath. Rather than calling it a treasure, it was more like magic. However, it had more than just the function of hiding treasures. Because it was high-speed rotating wind, when it was added to a weapon, it could greatly increase the attack power.
Because its own grade is C, if it is replaced by ninjutsu, it should be the power of B-level ninjutsu. Of course, this cannot be underestimated. After all, its main function is to hide. Think about it, hiding your own weapon is the best way to ambush people. Only those with terrible intuition can feel it.
Unfortunately, humans are not as good as Heroic Spirits. No matter how strong a person’s intuition is, they cannot feel the sword covered by the Wind King’s barrier, unless they are as strong as Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
Xia Yan picked up the card of the Wind King’s barrier, and then he squeezed it. The card turned into starlight and poured into his mind. In an instant, he mastered the use of the Wind King’s barrier, but at this moment he was a little confused.
He didn’t know whether to be happy or sad. It had been a long time since he had a ten-pull draw in a row. He expected his luck to explode and draw something incredible. But in fact, although the Wind King’s barrier was good, it did not reach the level of incredible. On the other hand, the Wind King’s barrier was indeed very practical and could not be said to be very bad. That was why Xia Yan felt conflicted, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
“There’s no other way. Let’s just leave the Wind King’s Barrier as it is. And based on the information just passed on, the use of the Wind King’s Barrier is far more than just hiding treasures. It should be of great use!” Xia Yan sighed and sorted himself out.
The biggest feature of the Wind King’s barrier is that it uses high-speed rotating wind pressure to distort the refraction of light. To put it bluntly, it is to deceive the eyes of others. Daigo King uses it to hide his own treasure, but in fact, if the Wind King’s barrier is applied to oneself, then the effect of invisibility can be achieved.
Don’t be surprised. The reason why Queen Daigo didn’t use it to become invisible is very simple. She is a noble knight king and would never do something that goes against the code of chivalry such as stealth and sneak attack. That’s why she gives everyone the illusion that the Wind King’s barrier can only hide treasures. In fact, if you think about it from another angle, you will understand that the characteristic of the Wind King’s barrier is to use wind pressure to refract light, thereby deceiving the eyes of others. Once it acts on itself, it can directly hide the body.
Moreover, the strong wind pressure can conceal the breath. Unless the intuition is very strong, ordinary people cannot detect it at all. The assassination is almost always accurate.
“There are a lot of fragments of the Twisted Demon Eye this time. I got seven in total!” Xia Yan opened the backpack of fragments. After three times of ten consecutive draws, the fragments of the Twisted Demon Eye had reached sixteen, but it was still almost half way to thirty.
It’s really a scam. The rest of the fragments are almost one or two fragments of the same type. It is really a long way to go to gather them all. This gives Xia Yan a headache. He hated these fragments when he played mobile games before, but he was reluctant to throw them away. It is very difficult to put them together completely.
So, with this conflicted mood, there is only one solution left, and that is to spend money!
“Irisviel, is there any way to deal with these fragments more effectively?” Xia Yan could only throw the question to Irisviel. As the consciousness of the Holy Grail, she should know a lot.
“My Lord, in fact, the fragments can be converted into each other. For example, the fragments of the Death Perception Mystic Eyes can be converted into the fragments of the Distortion Mystic Eyes!” Irisviel smiled. “Eh? Didn’t I tell you?”
Xia Yan rolled his eyes. If you had told me that, would I still be entangled here? However, he was not in the mood to complain about this girl who seduced him all day long, so he quickly asked, “What are the conditions for the conversion?”
He couldn’t believe that the Holy Grail would help him convert without any benefit.
“Smart!” Alice snapped her fingers. “It’s very simple. Each time you convert a fragment, you need one hundred magic crystals. In other words, now you have fifteen fragments except the Distorted Magic Eye. If you want to convert all of them into Distorted Magic Eye fragments, you will need a total of fifteen hundred magic crystals!”
Irisviel waved her slender white fingers in front of Xia Yan’s eyes.
(PS: Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep last night, so I didn’t write anything. As you all know, there was a power outage yesterday. In order to keep updating, I stayed up the night before yesterday. Then it was too hot during the day and I couldn’t sleep. As a result, I went to bed after the power came back at night, so today’s first update will be a little late!)
Chapter 36: Fragment Transformation! (Old Version)
Xia Yan couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth. It took one hundred magic crystals to convert one fragment. This was simply a rip-off. Fortunately, he had graduated now. If he continued to stay in the Ninja School, let alone converting fragments, he probably wouldn’t even be able to draw a lottery.
Although it is a bit expensive, for Xia Yan, magic crystals are tools used to make himself stronger. The fragment conversion function comes at a very timely moment. If he has to rely on lotteries to collect fragments, it will probably take an indefinite amount of time.
Now, each time you make ten consecutive draws, you can get at least nine fragments in addition to the fixed items. If you are lucky, you can get more. Just like just now, I got seven fragments of the Twisted Eye alone, plus six other fragments, a total of thirteen.
In other words, every three ten-draw combos means that Xia Yan can use the fragment conversion to gain one more ability, which makes him very happy. Just think about it, if all the fragments are converted into EA, doesn’t it mean that he can quickly obtain this powerful treasure that can create the world?
Although it seems that Gilgamesh’s EA cannot even destroy a city in the Holy Grail War, it is actually not the case. The reason why it can suppress so many people is mainly because he was suppressed by Type-Moon’s two lolis, namely Gaia and Alaya. Otherwise, if Gilgamesh’s EA was used, the entire earth would probably be split apart and return to the chaotic era.
Furthermore, those Heroic Spirits were merely projected as Servants, and their strength was probably many times weaker than their original bodies. Coupled with the suppression of restraining force, the destructive range of those treasures that could target cities and worlds was greatly weakened.
However, there is no Gaia and Alaya in the world of Naruto, and one EA might really destroy the entire world.
“But let’s switch to the Distorted Magic Eye first!”
The power of EA is too strong. With Xia Yan’s current chakra, if he uses EA, he will probably be sucked dry in an instant. This is the so-called level 1 small account exploding with a full-level orange weapon. It can only be looked at but not used. Instead of converting it early to use it as a decoration, it is better to get something useful to yourself first.
Undoubtedly, the power of the Distorted Magic Eye is also extremely great. Its characteristic is that it distorts everything that the eyes can see. The left eye distorts to the left, and the right eye distorts to the right. If both eyes distort the same object at the same time, it will directly collapse. It can be said to be extremely powerful.
In addition, it also has the functions of perspective and clairvoyance. In other words, as long as Xia Yan is willing, not to mention directly distorting the entire world, at least he can distort one of the five major countries. This destructive power is self-evident.
Of course, it is not without limitations. The Distorted Demonic Eyes do not require the consumption of magic power, so they do not require chakra to maintain. But unfortunately, it does consume a huge amount of physical strength. The wider the range of distortion, the more physical strength is required. Otherwise, these eyes would be unbearable.
“Irisviel, convert all the other fourteen fragments into fragments of the Distorted Magic Eye, leaving only one EA fragment!” Xia Yan ordered.
He had a total of fifteen idle fragments, two of which were EAs. Just in case, he decided to keep one EA. Although it could not be used now, it was indeed an insurance policy. If he really encountered a situation where he was sure to die, he would destroy the world as revenge, even if he was sucked dry. Of course, the premise of this revenge was that even the person he loved was dead.
So, this is the final resort. If I die, you won’t be able to survive.
“I understand!” Irisviel nodded and began to operate the Holy Grail.
Fourteen fragments were suspended above the Holy Grail, and endless magic power continued to merge into these fragments. Soon, the fourteen fragments were transformed into fragments of the Twisted Magic Eye. But it was not too late. Another sixteen fragments flew out of the backpack and began to merge with the fourteen fragments.
Thirty identical fragments can be combined into a complete item, and this time the item combined is the Distorted Eye.
Beep~
A flash of purple lightning passed by, and the thirty fragments disappeared, replaced by a pair of mysterious eyes with a hint of nobility. This was a complete twisted magic eye. Before Xia Yan could exclaim, the two eyes were directly immersing in his pupils. In an instant, the original black pupils were replaced and turned into a pair of magic eyes that could distort everything.
“What a strong eye power, and it’s the complete form. Combined with the functions of perspective and clairvoyance, I’m afraid I can easily distort the entire Fire Nation!” Feeling the eye power of his own eyes, which is different from the Sharingan, makes Xia Yan very happy.
However, on the other hand, with Xia Yan’s current physical fitness, if he directly distorts a big country like the Fire Nation, he will probably be exhausted. In other words, he will kill one thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of his own. If he is ambushed by the enemy at this time, he will be finished. This will definitely be the case for ordinary people.
But Xia Yan was different. His passive ability of the Twelve Trials made up for this shortcoming very well. Even if he ran out of energy and couldn’t move, so what? If you had the ability, you could break through the defense of the Twelve Trials. Besides, it would be useless even if you broke through it. The Twelve Trials had twelve lives, and they wouldn’t be killed twice in the same way. In other words, Xia Yan had no worries at all.
“With the power of the Distorted Magic Eyes, plus the Twelve Trials and Infinite Sword Works, and the Wind King’s Barrier as a last resort, there will be no problem no matter how the Cloud Ninja Village incident changes this time!” Xia Yan’s pupils returned to black, and he closed the Distorted Magic Eyes. At the same time, he glanced at his two subordinates not far away.
These two guys should be used by Danzo to monitor him, and maybe they will stab him in the back at the critical moment, but they have been given psychological hints by Xia Yan, so they are not a big threat.
The Fourth Raikage personally led the team to negotiate, so Konoha Village would naturally not break etiquette. The Third Hokage also attended in person. After all, this time the Kumogakure brought Konoha generous war compensation.
“I remember there seemed to be a golden flash in Konoha. I heard that he succeeded the position of Hokage two years ago. Could this be false?” The Fourth Raikage was so arrogant that he stunned the Third Hokage with just one sentence.
(PS: Please support, reward, votes, and most importantly~~~~~~~please collect it!)
Chapter 37 Purpose! (Old Version)
The Fourth Raikage sneered in his heart. Who didn’t know about the Nine-Tails attacking the village? He said this just to disgust the Third Hokage, and at the same time he also despised Konoha. After all, the amount of war reparations this time was very huge, which made the Fourth Raikage very distressed.
However, the Third Hokage was no pushover, and he quickly put on a smile, “You are truly a young man, having inherited the title of Hokage at such a young age. But the Third Raikage doesn’t seem to be that old, why did he abdicate so early?”
Now it was the turn of the Fourth Raikage to look unhappy. Who didn’t know that during the Third Ninja World War, the Third Raikage was besieged and killed by 10,000 ninjas from the Iwagakure? The Third Hokage was clearly fighting back, but he really couldn’t get angry about this, after all, he was the one who started it.
“Hokage, there’s no need to waste time talking nonsense. Let’s sign the contract quickly. There are still many things to be dealt with in the Kumogakure. I don’t have so much time to waste in Konoha!” said the Fourth Raikage unhappily.
This guy’s personality is so arrogant, he doesn’t know how to respect the elderly at all. From the fact that the Third Tsuchikage disliked him so much in the later period, we can foresee how bad the personality of the Fourth Raikage is. However, this is also the custom of the Cloud Ninja Village. They are straightforward and never know what it means to be subtle.
“Haha, young people are just impatient. Please follow me!” The Third Hokage smiled. As a veteran, he certainly wouldn’t get angry over such a small matter. Besides, Konoha couldn’t stand it any longer. The death of the Fourth Hokage and the rebellious intention of the Uchiha clan meant that if the war broke out again, the entire Konoha would probably be destroyed.
Some of the Konoha Anbu nearby were suppressing murderous intent in their hearts, wishing to kill these lunatics, but they did not dare to act without the order of the Hokage.
“Hmph, Sarutobi is so weak. It’s just a mere Cloud Village!” Danzo in the dark had been watching this scene. He was very dissatisfied with Sarutobi Hiruzen’s forbearance. He was even more certain in his heart that Sarutobi Hiruzen was not worthy of leading Konoha.
If it were him, he would have directly captured the Fourth Raikage and his men, and then forced the Cloud Village to surrender. A village without a Kage would either fall into panic or chaos of power struggles, and Konoha could easily destroy it.
Of course, this is just Danzo’s wishful thinking. If the Third Hokage is too conservative and weak, then Danzo is too radical and very arrogant. The shortcomings of both men are very obvious, but the difference is that Danzo’s shortcomings will plunge Konoha into an irretrievable situation, while Sarutobi Hiruzen’s shortcomings will only erode Konoha step by step.
The reason why the Second Hokage chose Sarutobi Hiruzen as Hokage was probably because he saw the shortcomings of the two. Compared with Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen was undoubtedly more suitable. Even if he slowly eroded Konoha, there was still a buffer time. As long as the next generation grew up and then selected an excellent Hokage, the village could continue to be strong. But if it was Danzo, I’m afraid he would have destroyed the entire Konoha in less than ten years.
However, these have little to do with Xia Yan. His mission is to monitor the people of the Cloud Ninja Village to prevent them from causing trouble. More importantly, he has to be a hero and save the beauty when Hinata is kidnapped. Well, he must not let Hinata faint at that time, otherwise wouldn’t that trip be in vain?
Although it’s a bit boring, this is normal. Xia Yan has been waiting for this opportunity for several years and he must not fail.
On the other side, the Third Hokage and the Fourth Raikage were also brought to a conference room to discuss the alliance. This was a matter of utmost importance to Konoha and the Cloud Ninja. Don’t be fooled by the Fourth Raikage who acted like a powerful person. In fact, he was just a paper tiger who could only take advantage of Konoha verbally or make Konoha suffer a loss. If a fight really broke out, the Cloud Ninja Village would be finished.
After all, in the Third Ninja World War, the Kumogakure lost more than Konoha, and even the Third Raikage was sacrificed.
“Mr. Raikage, this is the content of the covenant, please take a look first!” The Third Hokage pushed a document in front of the Fourth Raikage.
The Fourth Raikage was a little absent-minded, and a lazy person next to him coughed, which woke him up. He pretended to be serious and flipped through the pages solemnly, but his movements were very sloppy. He had no intention of reading seriously at all and turned a page every few seconds.
The Third Hokage couldn’t help but frowned. The two advisors of Konoha were also confused. They didn’t understand what the Cloud Village was doing and whether they wanted to sign the alliance.
“Let’s put the covenant aside for now. Compared to this, I heard that your Konoha has recently produced an incredible genius. He graduated from the Ninja School on the first day of school and even killed the examiner. I wonder if this is true?” The Fourth Raikage put the covenant book aside, looked at the Third Hokage with interest and said.
Now, the guards beside him didn’t say anything, because these guards all knew the purpose of coming to Konoha this time. Signing the alliance was just a byproduct, otherwise they would not have to choose Konoha. The reason why they decided to go deep into the tiger’s den was very simple. They planned to take the opportunity to kidnap the eldest lady of the Hyuga clan in order to study the secret of the Byakugan.
They suffered a lot in the Third Ninja World War, and they were also very curious about the Byakugan, one of the three major eye techniques in the Ninja World. If they could figure it out, they could at least cripple one of Konoha’s arms when war breaks out again in the future.
That’s right, in the eyes of most people, Uchiha and Hyuga are undoubtedly the right-hand men and women of Konoha Village and hold a vital position.
The reason why Xia Yan was brought up now was mainly to delay time and make an excuse to stay in Konoha for a few more days.
Speaking of Xia Yan, the Third Hokage’s expression changed a little. He actually felt pity and fear for this enchanting genius. He wished so much that Xia Yan was not from the Uchiha family, but there are not so many ifs in the world.
“Mr. Raikage is very well-informed. If there is no accident, the person you are talking about should be the child named Uchiha Xia Yan!” said the Third Hokage helplessly.
“Uchiha?” There was a strange flash in the eyes of the Fourth Raikage. A few days ago, Shisui, who could teleport instantly, appeared, and now another Uchiha Xia Yan has appeared. This Uchiha is really full of geniuses.
Chapter 38: Challenge Xia Yan? (Old version)
“I wonder why Lord Raikage mentioned him at this time?” The Third Hokage frowned slightly, having a bad feeling in his heart.
The Fourth Raikage did not speak. A lazy-looking boy with a short sword on his back stood up beside him, staring with a pair of dead fish eyes, and said, “It’s like this, I want to challenge this legendary genius, I wonder if the Hokage can allow it?”
It is true!
The Third Hokage’s face looked a little unhappy. In his opinion, the Cloud Ninja Village might have deliberately come to cause trouble under the pretext of a meeting. But on the other hand, he couldn’t get angry. After all, they had raised the challenge in the name of sparring. A friendly sparring between the ninjas of the two villages was also a means of uniting each other.
“I’m really sorry, Uchiha Xia Yan has gone out on a mission and is not in Konoha Village, so I’m afraid your request…” Although he didn’t think Xia Yan would lose, the Third Hokage was a conservative. Even if there was a 90% chance of winning if he accepted the challenge, there would still be a 10% chance of failure. On the contrary, if he did not accept the challenge, there would be a 100% chance of failure.
This is the character of the Third Hokage. He absolutely does not want to cause a fight unless he is forced to do so. He does not want to take advantage of others, nor does he want others to take advantage of him.
This kind of character may lead to mediocrity for an ordinary person, but he can live a stable life. However, it is obviously unqualified for a village leader. The current Third Hokage is really scared of him.
During the three wars, he faced four villages at the same time, countless ninjas were killed or injured, and his three disciples also left Konoha one after another. Coupled with the death of the Fourth Hokage, this series of blows made the Third Hokage feel like he was walking on a tightrope, as if one wrong step would push Konoha into the abyss. So this once heroic ninja has become a bear after many blows, with no courage at all.
This is just like an ordinary person. When he has no money, he is single and can give everything to work hard. But after he really becomes a big boss and experiences several failures, he dare not fight with the courage to die if he fails, because only when he gets something will he be afraid of losing it.
Obviously, the Third Hokage completely guessed the intention of the Cloud Village. This time, the other party was not trying to slap them in the face, but simply wanted to delay time to implement their plan. When they heard the Third Hokage say that Xia Yan was not in the village, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes. This way, they had a reason to stay in Konoha openly.
“It doesn’t matter. We can wait. In fact, the reason we chose Konoha as the destination for the talks this time is mainly because of that legendary genius. Darui will probably be disappointed if he can’t see him in person. How about, Hokage, let us stay in Konoha for a few days!” The Fourth Raikage said indifferently.
“This……” The Third Hokage hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, “Of course, but can we sign a covenant first?”
When the covenant was mentioned again, the Fourth Raikage’s eyes turned and he said nonchalantly, “This kind of thing can be signed at any time. There is no need to worry about it now. Besides, we can use these few days to study the contents of the covenant carefully!”
In fact, the idea of ​​the Fourth Raikage was very simple. They had thought about the possibility of failure, but at that time, they could openly demand the handover of the murderer in the name of the Hyuga clan killing the envoy of the Cloud Village. At that time, they could still obtain the Byakugan. It must be said that this plan was very sophisticated.
As for your statement that the other party would not kill their own subordinates? That is impossible, because their target this time is the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, and she will not wear a forehead protector. In this case, if they succeed, it will be fine. If they fail, the Hyuga clan will definitely not let go of the thief who kidnapped their eldest daughter.
Based on the Kumogakure’s understanding of the Third Hokage, this man is someone who doesn’t want to cause trouble. If they threaten to directly start a war if the murderer is not handed over and the alliance is not signed, they believe that in such a critical situation, the Third Hokage will definitely choose to sacrifice one person to avoid war.
Of course, even if the Third Hokage really exploded, it would not matter. The Cloud Village is a village that relies mainly on military power and is not afraid of war at all. Especially since the Fourth Raikage has just taken office not long ago, he is eager to prove his ability as a Raikage. Undoubtedly, the battlefield is the most suitable place for him.
To put it bluntly, the Cloud Ninja Village is determined to win this time, and is not afraid even if it means starting a war.
In the end, the meeting ended in vain. The Cloud Ninja Village was not going to sign the contract before the duel with Xia Yan, which made the Third Hokage angry and helpless at the same time. After all, you can’t force others to sign.
The surveillance work was so boring that Xia Yan even felt drowsy. He sat on a big tree and looked up at the blue sky. Life was too peaceful now. If only he was born in the era of the Second or Third Ninja War, he would be able to obtain magic crystals faster and become stronger.
Even Xia Yan himself did not realize that after a year of growth, his thinking had changed. In the past, he always held the attitude of “I will not offend others unless they offend me”, but now he is craving for enemies.
At this moment, an Anbu member appeared in front of Xia Yan, “Uchiha Xia Yan, go to the Hokage’s office immediately. The Hokage has a mission for you!”
After saying this, the Anbu disappeared without any hesitation.
“You called me over at this critical moment, has the situation of the talks changed?” Xia Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his Distorted Magic Eye opened, penetrating through layers of trees. He was instantly seen into a house a thousand meters away. That was where the Fourth Raikage and his men were temporarily living.
Watching from such a distance, and the Distortion Mystic Eyes not consuming any chakra, even a perception-type ninja would not be able to spot him.
“Captain, leave this to us. Don’t let the Hokage wait too long!” Xia Yan’s two subordinates reminded.
“Yeah!” Xia Yan nodded, put on the mask, and then used the teleportation technique to disappear.
Chapter 39 I accept the challenge! (Old version)
After arriving at the Hokage’s office, not only the Third Hokage was there, but Danzo was also there, and even the two advisors were present. Except for Danzo, the three of them all looked very unhappy.
“Hokage, I wonder what mission you have for calling me here?” Looking at the ugly faces of several people, Xia Yan couldn’t help but frowned. Could something big have happened?
It’s not that he is worried about what will happen to Konoha, but he doesn’t want to help the Third Hokage deal with some miscellaneous matters at this critical juncture. After all, if nothing unexpected happens, the kidnapping of Hinata by the Cloud Village will happen in the next few days, and it is possible that it will happen tonight, so Xia Yan must keep a close eye on those guys in the Cloud Village.
“It’s not a big deal, it’s just that you’ve become too famous recently, especially in the past year when you killed many spies from other villages in the Anbu. So other villages have a lot of information about you, so some people will naturally feel dissatisfied and want to challenge you!” The Third Hokage sighed, feeling very worried. Although Xia Yan was very strong, he saw that the guy named Darui from the Cloud Village was not weak either, and since he dared to challenge him, he probably had a certain chance of winning.
Hearing this, Xia Yan raised his brows slightly. This really surprised him. Ever since he killed a senior ANBU ninja and graduated with great strength a year ago, most people in the village did not dare to challenge him. He did not expect that someone would dare to jump out and seek death now.
“Are you talking about those people from the Kumogakure Village, Hokage?”
“Well, it’s a young man named Darui. Although he looks lazy, his chakra is really strong. Moreover, he can be the bodyguard of the Raikage. His strength is at least at the level of a Jonin. Besides that, I suspect he has some other hidden powers!”
The other power is naturally the Bloodline Limit, which is also what the Third Hokage is most worried about. The power of the Bloodline Limit is very strong. It can be said that people with talent may not necessarily become the former, but people with Bloodline Limit will definitely become strong 100%. You can imagine how strong this Bloodline Limit is. In a word, this Bloodline Limit is equivalent to a BUG in the game, which is naturally superior to others.
“Darui?”
Hearing the name, Xia Yan immediately searched for this person in his mind. After a while, he remembered that Darui was also quite famous in the original work. He looked like a lazy guy, but he possessed chakras with both lightning and water attributes, and also had the bloodline limit of Storm Release. In addition, this guy was also a master of swordsmanship, and he subdued Suigetsu Hozuki with his swordsmanship.
You know, Hozuki is obsessed with the seven ninja swords of the Hidden Mist Village, which means that he has certain skills in swordsmanship, but he is still no match for Darui. You can imagine how strong this guy is.
Moreover, Darui later became the fifth Raikage, which shows that he is a very capable person.
Judging from the time period, the opponent is probably about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his strength is at least at the level of a jonin. Coupled with his powerful swordsmanship, bloodline limit, lightning and water jutsu, any elite jonin would die at his hands.
“Sarutobi, you don’t have to worry too much. Those guys from the Cloud Village want to challenge Xia Yan, so just let Xia Yan accept the challenge. It’s just a sparring match anyway, and there will be no danger to his life. Isn’t it urgent to sign the alliance first?” Danzo said to the Third Hokage with a gleam in his eyes.
“When did this guy change his nature?” Xia Yan was slightly stunned. He didn’t know what Danzo was up to. Everyone knew that this guy loved war the most. He once deliberately let his subordinates pretend to be people from the Iwagakure to cause trouble, in order to disrupt the peace talks between Konoha and the Iwagakure, although he failed in the end.
According to his personality, shouldn’t he be trying his best to disrupt the peace talks between Konoha and Kumogakure at this time? Why does he look like he wants to sign an alliance instead?
In fact, Xia Yan didn’t know that in Danzo’s heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen is no longer the number one enemy. Xia Yan is his biggest fear. If a war were to go to war with the Cloud Village now, with Xia Yan’s strength, he would definitely shine on the battlefield. He might even become Hokage at a young age like Namikaze Minato. This is not the result Danzo wants to see, so instead of letting Xia Yan take advantage, it is better to sign an alliance as soon as possible to prevent war.
In addition, he also had some plans in his mind. According to Danzo’s guess, the Cloud Village deliberately chose Konoha as the venue for the talks. There must be some conspiracy. After all, for the Cloud Village, this is the enemy’s base camp. If there is no conspiracy, is it worthwhile to put themselves in danger?
That’s why Danzo gave the task of monitoring the Cloud Ninja to Xia Yan, so that if something really happened at that time, he could also take charge.
The Third Hokage was originally very hesitant, but now after hearing what Danzo said, he also felt that it made sense. No matter what, signing the covenant now was the most important thing, so as to avoid any sudden changes. The most important thing was that it was too dangerous to let a group of people from other villages live in Konoha. What if they stole some secrets? So it was better to send them away as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, the Third Hokage looked at Xia Yan and said, “This is what happened. The young man named Darui has been wanting to challenge you since he heard about your deeds. So Xia Yan, in order to sign the covenant as soon as possible, I will now dismiss all the work at hand in the name of the Hokage and fight Darui tomorrow!”
“I understand, I accept the challenge!” A gleam of light flashed in Xia Yan’s eyes. He could finally stretch his muscles. For him, he would never talk nonsense if he could take action. He was also very interested in the lightning body technique of the Cloud Ninja Village.
It seems that I have to think carefully about how to operate when I go back today. If I can get the Thunder Body Technique, my strength will definitely increase significantly!
What is Xia Yan’s biggest desire now? It is not to win the lottery by luck, nor to get a lot of magic crystals, but how to improve his physical fitness. The passive ability of the Twelve Trials is to invalidate B-level treasures, which is equivalent to invalidating A-level ninjutsu.
But this is only fixed. If Xia Yan’s durability can continue to improve, he may be immune to A-level or even A++-level Noble Phantasms in the future. At that time, he can resist the power of the complete form of Susanoo with just his physical strength. Just thinking about it is enough to make people excited.
(PS: Please reward, support, flowers, and finally collect~~~~~~~~~)
Chapter 40 Lost on the road of life! (Old version)
In Xia Yan’s opinion, abilities are something that need to be refined rather than quantity. There is still a lot of room for improvement after the Twelve Trials, and Xia Yan will definitely not waste it. The Thunder Body Technique of the Cloud Ninja Village is the best way to train the body. After all, even the Third Raikage can fight the Eight-Tails with his physical body. If Xia Yan’s physical body can reach this level, coupled with the Twelve Trials, the defensive power will be unimaginable.
“Very good. In order to prevent any trouble, I will arrange a duel between you and Darui of the Cloud Village tomorrow. If you are really no match for him, you can choose to admit defeat. Anyway, our goal is just to sign a peace treaty as soon as possible, understand?” The Third Hokage hesitated, but still gave a reminder.
In fact, deep down he hoped that Xia Yan would admit defeat. In his opinion, as long as the Cloud Ninja Village felt comfortable, perhaps the peace treaty could be signed as soon as possible. For this reason, winning or losing a mere one-on-one duel was meaningless.
Give up?
Xia Yan sneered in his heart. He agreed to the duel this time with a purpose. How could he admit defeat so easily? However, his expression remained unchanged on the surface. “I know!”
“Well, you go down first!” The Third Hokage nodded with satisfaction. He finally solved a problem. Tomorrow’s duel would be good for Konoha regardless of winning or losing. As long as a peace treaty was signed, Konoha could gain peace for several years or even more than ten years.
After Xia Yan left, the Third Hokage called the Anbu over and informed the Fourth Raikage about the duel, and everything went as planned.
Although Xia Yan’s mission had been revoked, he did not go home to rest, but stayed outside the Hyuga clan. After all, his purpose was not to protect, but to be a hero and save the beauty at the critical moment. How could he give up just because of a duel tomorrow?
Of course, with Xia Yan’s willpower, not sleeping for just one night is not a big problem at all, and it will not have any impact on tomorrow’s duel.
However, what disappointed him was that the Cloud Ninja Village seemed very cautious and did not take action on the first day. This made Xia Yan a little depressed, but when he thought about it, it was only the first day that the Cloud Ninja Village came to Konoha, and they were at their most vigilant. It was obviously inappropriate to choose to take action on the first day.
The next day at noon, Xia Yan went home and changed his clothes into a black turtleneck short-sleeved shirt and black ninja shorts, then came to the third training ground. The people from the Cloud Ninja Village had already arrived, there were more than a dozen of them, but Xia Yan only recognized Darui and the Fourth Raikage, and a blond boy who seemed to be called Xi. He appeared in the original book, and it seemed that he was killed instantly by Sasuke as soon as he appeared, except for performing an illusion. He was just a perceptive ninja and did not have much combat power.
In addition to the people from the Cloud Ninja Village, the Third Hokage, Danzo, and two advisors were also present. Of course, they were naturally protected by the Anbu members. This duel was a secret duel and would not be open to the public in the village, so no outsiders came to watch.
Seeing Xia Yan coming late, the already hot-tempered Fourth Raikage frowned and said dissatisfiedly, “Boy, you are so arrogant that you made me, a Raikage and your Hokage, wait for so long!”
“Ah~~ A black cat blocked my way on the way here, and so I lost my way on the road of life!” Xia Yan didn’t know why, but this sentence suddenly appeared in his mind. It seemed to be a classic quote from Kakashi.
When the Third Hokage and the others heard Xia Yan’s words, the corners of their mouths couldn’t help but twitch. This kid actually dared to treat the dignified Raikage as a fool. They really didn’t know what to say.
The Fourth Raikage was very angry. If Xia Yan was unruly, he could find a reason to teach him a lesson, but he just said such a sentence to fool him. He felt very uncomfortable. After all, as a Raikage, he couldn’t just attack a junior regardless of his status. Besides, didn’t he give a reason for being late? Although this reason was unreliable.
Just as he was about to get angry, the Third Hokage stood up first and said, “Sir Raikage, as you can see, this is the number one genius of my Konoha Village, Uchiha Xia Yan. Xia Yan, this is the Raikage of the Cloud Village!” As he said that, he gave Xia Yan a look, meaning that Xia Yan should not be so careless and try to control his temper.
Xia Yan ignored this and simply ignored Darui on the side. He looked at the Fourth Raikage and said, “I heard that you want to challenge me?”
“Hmph, kid, you’re asking questions even though you already know the answer.” The Fourth Raikage took a deep breath and spoke in a voice as loud as thunder. He was about to introduce Darui, but Xia Yan started talking again.
“Although I don’t know how strong that guy named Darui is, I still advise you to give up. No matter how strong he is, he can never be my opponent. A mere lightning escape technique can’t do anything to me!”
Look at what he said, not only was he despising Darui, he was also directly belittling the Lightning Release that the Cloud Village was good at as worthless. Not only was the Fourth Raikage furious, even Darui, who had always been unmotivated, couldn’t help but frown.
“How dare this brat to look down on our Cloud Ninja Village! This is outrageous!”
“Lord Raikage, let me teach this brat a lesson!”
The dozen or so Cloud Ninjas were all very excited. The Cloud Ninja Village was originally a country that focused on military strength. They had very violent personalities. To put it bluntly, they were very straightforward. To put it bluntly, they were a group of barbarians who only knew how to fight. At this moment, they were provoked by Xia Yan and were immediately filled with indignation.
Seeing Xia Yan making the people of Kumogakure so angry with just a few words, the Third Hokage was also furious. If he hadn’t considered the presence of outsiders, he would have wanted to slap Xia Yan to death. Why did he come to make trouble at this critical moment? What did you promise me yesterday?
No matter how angry he was, he hurriedly stepped forward to appease them, “I’m really sorry, Xia Yan didn’t mean any harm, he was just talking nonsense, please don’t take it to heart!”
“Hmph, Lord Hokage, as the number one genius of your Konoha, this brat is bound to be arrogant. But today I’m here to challenge Uchiha Natsuen. A momentary verbal show of strength means nothing!” Darui stood up in front of the Fourth Raikage, with an unprecedented seriousness on his face, completely different from the lazy look he had yesterday.
Chapter 41 Bet! (Old Version)
After saying that, he looked at the Fourth Raikage again and said, “Lord Raikage, please don’t be angry. I will teach him a lesson on behalf of our Kumogakure!”
After hearing Darui’s words, the Fourth Raikage’s expression became much better, but he still looked resentful. He said in a deep voice, “I leave it to you. Let that ignorant brat have a taste of the power of Lightning Release!”
“Hey, hey, I never said I would accept the challenge of this guy called Darui!” At this moment, Xia Yan interrupted the Fourth Raikage Darui’s arrogant words. He looked as if he didn’t take the anger of the people in the Cloud Ninja Village seriously at all.
“What, do you want to escape?” Darui smiled coldly, took out a broad-bladed sword from his back, and pointed it at Xia Yan from a distance.
“No, I just said it, you are not my opponent at all. Well, if I have to say, among all of you, I’m afraid only the Raikage can interest me!” Xia Yan stretched out a finger and shook it, saying shamelessly.
In fact, it is not that shameless. With Xia Yan’s strength and trump card, he really doesn’t take the people in the Cloud Ninja Village seriously except the Fourth Raikage. The reason why he is so provocative is naturally that Xia Yan does this in order to achieve his goal.
After all, he is not a person who is arrogant because of his talent, and he will not look down on others. Provoking a group of Cloud Ninjas in this way is just the bait he threw out, and it seems to have a great effect.
“Damn little brat, today I will teach you a lesson about what reverence is!” The Fourth Raikage was so angry that his three corpses jumped into a rage. Lightning flashed all over his body, his muscles began to bulge, and huge amounts of chakra burst out, which was comparable to the tailed beast. This was a monster with its head and tail tilted to one side.
Xia Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and was very surprised. The chakra of the Raikage lineage was indeed amazing. In addition to its bloodline, it was probably more because of the Lightning Body Technique. After all, this was a unique body technique in the ninja world, and chakra was produced by the combination of physical energy and spiritual energy. The stronger the physical fitness, the more terrifying the chakra.
This made Xia Yan even more excited, and he must seize this opportunity to obtain the Thunder Body Technique.
“Lord Raikage!” Darui hurriedly stopped the furious Raikage. Although Xia Yan’s words were arrogant, the Fourth Raikage was the kage of a village after all. If he couldn’t control his anger and dueled with Xia Yan today, then regardless of whether he won or lost, the Cloud Ninja Village would probably lose all its face.
Although the Fourth Raikage had a bad temper, he was not a fool. He knew the consequences of his impulsiveness, so even if he was angry, he could only suppress it. After taking a deep breath, he looked at the Third Hokage and shouted in a deep voice, “Hokage, are all the ninjas in Konoha Village so arrogant?”
“No, it’s just an individual case. Besides, we may not know whether it’s arrogant or not, right?” Before the Third Hokage could speak, Danzo had already replied with a strange look in his eyes.
He was opposed to peace talks in the first place. Konoha had already gained such a great advantage in the Third Ninja World War, at least that was the case in Danzo’s view. As long as the other four major villages were wiped out in one go, Konoha would become the only village in the Ninja World.
Just like how the first Hokage integrated various families to build villages, Danzo’s dream is to integrate the five major villages and build a truly unified ninja world.
Of course, this is just Danzo’s ambition, and Konoha’s advantage is just Danzo’s illusion.
The reason why Danzo is using Xia Yan to squeeze the Fourth Raikage is to disrupt this peace talk. But no matter what his purpose is, it is at least good for Xia Yan. At this time, Xia Yan can’t wait to give Danzo a few thumbs up.
“Hmph, you’re quite arrogant. Does Lord Danzo have much confidence in this brat?” The Fourth Raikage sneered, veins throbbing on his forehead, and it was obvious that he was suppressing a huge amount of anger.
“As I just said, it’s hard to say now. As for the extent of Uchiha Natsuen’s power, why don’t you just ask Lord Raikage to witness it yourself?” Danzo was calm, as if he was so angry that he wanted to kill himself.
After all the talk, the problem comes back to the original point. If you want to see Xia Yan’s strength, you must fight him. However, Xia Yan looks down on Darui, and the Fourth Raikage cannot take action himself due to his status, which makes him very frustrated.
The Fourth Raikage looked at Danzo deeply, then looked at the Third Hokage, whose face was as red as the bottom of a pot but who didn’t know what to say, and finally looked at Xia Yan and said loudly, “Kid, what do you want?”
“Finally took the bait?”
Seeing the extremely suppressed look of the Fourth Raikage, Xia Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, knowing that the time was almost ripe and continuing to provoke might have the opposite effect, so he stated his real purpose.
“It’s not impossible for me to fight this guy named Darui, but since it’s a challenge, I always treat it as a gamble. So the question is, if it’s a gamble, doesn’t it require some stakes?”
“Hmph, I see. Is this your goal?” The Fourth Raikage was no fool. He had been talking for so long and it turned out that he was just trying to get some benefits. However, the more he talked about this, the angrier he became. He had already put himself in the position of a winner before the fight even started? This was simply a naked act of contempt.
“Great, what kind of bet would you like?”
Xia Yan chuckled and snapped his fingers with his right hand. In an instant, more than a dozen long swords were suspended in the air. The swords exuded a cold aura, and it was obvious at a glance that they were not ordinary items. They were at least at the level of a treasure. This made the Fourth Raikage and others frown and become secretly alert.
“As you can see, this is my own unique ninjutsu, a powerful ninjutsu that can be used without the need for hand seals. The lethality of each sword is equivalent to that of an A-level ninjutsu. You should know its value without me telling you!” Xia Yan crossed his hands and let a dozen long swords float in the air.
Of course, with the knowledge of the Fourth Raikage, he could still tell whether Xia Yan’s words were true or not. Undoubtedly, when he saw these dozen long swords, he had already realized that none of them were ordinary items and their power was extremely huge.
What surprised him even more was that Xia Yan could actually create things out of thin air. This made him very excited. If he could create countless powerful ninja tools, wouldn’t the military strength of the Cloud Ninja Village be greatly enhanced?
Chapter 42: Goal Achieved! (Old Version)
“Of course, as long as you have enough chakra, you can produce them endlessly. Think about it, as long as you produce 100,000 swords, the strength of your Cloud Ninja Village will probably increase several times. These swords are, without exception, treasures that can easily cut through steel. If chakra is added, the power will be even stronger. It will be perfect for forming an army!” Xia Yan smiled and waved his right hand lightly, and all the swords disappeared.
This was just the most basic projection, not the Infinite Sword System, so he didn’t expose it. Besides, even if it was exposed, it wouldn’t be a problem. There are some things that you can’t resist even if you know them. This is what he meant. Want to resist the bombardment of the Noble Phantasm level? I’m afraid even the tailed beasts can’t do that.
As soon as Xia Yan said this, both the Fourth Raikage and the Third Hokage could not help but hold their breath. These were all treasures that could cut through iron like mud? And they could be made infinitely?
If this is true, then it is extremely important for a village. Holding a sword that can cut through iron like mud may only increase the strength of a single ninja to a limited extent, but if it is an entire army, then the situation is different.
Think about it, when you are fighting with someone on the battlefield, your ninja tools collide, and you cut off the opponent’s weapon in an instant. Then, if you lose the weapon, your chances of killing the enemy will greatly increase, which means your chances of winning will greatly increase.
The benefits brought by this secret technique are absolutely enormous, and it can be produced infinitely with only chakra, without any cost at all, and it is completely possible to create an invincible ninja army.
Danzo was extremely excited. His old face was flushed and his eyes were fixed on Xia Yan. He really couldn’t suppress his excitement. Xia Yan’s secret technique was too important to him. If he could master it, he could lead the entire Konoha to sweep the entire ninja world. In other words, Xia Yan was the cornerstone of his success.
Fortunately, these people were all people of status, and they recovered after a brief shock and excitement. However, there was unconcealable greed in their eyes, especially the people from the Cloud Ninja Village, who wanted to capture Xia Yan and study all the secrets in his mind.
In response to this, Xia Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He knew this would be the case from the beginning. Projection magic was indeed very convenient. Even someone like the King of Conquerors wanted to snatch the golden treasure to form an invincible army, let alone these guys?
Although the Noble Phantasms projected by projection magic will be downgraded by one level, there is no doubt that as long as you can spend the time and focus on projecting A-level Noble Phantasms, you can also create countless B-level Noble Phantasms. The power is quite great. You can’t imagine what it means for a ninja army of tens of thousands of people to be equipped with B-level Noble Phantasms.
Of course, it takes a long time to reach this level, but for a large ninja village it is not a difficult problem. The Fourth Raikage only needs to train a group of loyal subordinates, and then teach them projection magic, and let these people continue to create it day and night. It is estimated that it will only take a few years to complete.
In other words, in a few years, the Cloud Ninja Village could almost dominate the entire ninja world with its projection magic. After all, projection magic does not only project swords, but also bows. If the arrow is a B-level treasure, its power is equivalent to that of a missile, and it can at least kill a group of people.
That’s simply a disaster.
“Kid, are you sure you want to use this secret technique as a bet?” The Fourth Raikage asked excitedly, suppressing his greed.
“Of course, I just don’t know what precious secret techniques you guys from the Cloud Ninja Village can use as a bet?” Xia Yan smiled and continued, “I’m sure you know how precious my secret techniques are. If they are some shabby ninjutsu, then I advise you not to embarrass yourself by showing them off!”
At this point, the Fourth Raikage was in a bit of a dilemma. He certainly knew the value of Xia Yan’s secret technique. No one present was a fool, and he couldn’t possibly come up with some low-grade stuff to make up the numbers.
The Third Hokage finally found an opportunity to interrupt and hurriedly said, “Mr. Raikage, Xia Yan is just fooling around. Please don’t take it to heart. This competition is just a proof of the friendly relationship between the Kumogakure and Konoha villages. How can it be tarnished by gambling?”
He was very nervous now. Xia Yan’s secret technique was too powerful. Who didn’t see it just now? Xia Yan just waved his hand and instantly created more than a dozen long swords. This was enough to prove that Xia Yan’s words were not a lie. There was no cost, only chakra was needed to create powerful treasures without limit.
In the mind of the Third Hokage, Xia Yan was a member of the Leaf Village, and his secret technique was part of the Leaf Village. How could he let other villages take it away? As for the covenant? Anyone who was not stupid knew that the so-called covenant was just a temporary peace brought about by necessity. When everyone recovered, it could be torn up at any time.
“Hokage, this brat has just provoked my Cloud Village, and now he’s bringing up the matter of a bet. If I don’t dare to take it, wouldn’t it make my Cloud Village a laughing stock?” The Fourth Raikage glared, and without hesitation, he took out a rolled-up sleeve and threw it to Xia Yan.
“This is the most powerful secret technique of our Kumo Ninja Village. Only the Raikage is qualified to practice it from generation to generation, and the Third Raikage is the most outstanding among them. If you can achieve perfection, you will probably be able to become a top-notch strongman in the ninja world just by physical skills. How about this bet? Do you accept it?”
“Here it comes!” A gleam of light flashed in Xia Yan’s eyes. After arranging such a drama, he finally forced the Raikage to this point.
Xia Yan calmly rolled up his sleeves and took a quick look. This Thunder Body Technique is divided into four stages. Every successful stage will greatly enhance the physical quality. It should not be wrong. After all, today’s events were too sudden for the Fourth Raikage, and he did not have the time to forge a fake one.
“Xia Yan, you……!” The Third Hokage wanted to stop him, but before he could say anything, Xia Yan had already agreed to the Fourth Raikage’s bet.
“Very good, then I accept this duel!” Xia Yan nodded and put the rolled sleeves into the ninja tool bag.
The Fourth Raikage did not say anything about this. With so many people witnessing it, as long as Darui won, Xia Yan would not have the chance to engulf the sleeves of the Lightning Body Technique.
Chapter 43: Instant Kill! (Old Version)
“Little ghost, thank you for your provocation just now!”
Darui stood opposite Xia Yan. His original laziness had long disappeared, and there was suppressed anger in his eyes. It was because Xia Yan’s previous remarks had ridiculed them inside and out, and the final result was to duel in the form of a gambling battle, which was really too contemptuous.
“I’m glad that it suits your taste. I won’t waste any more time. The battle will be over soon anyway!” Xia Yan took out a kunai, kicked off his feet, and rushed towards Darui in an instant.
“How dare you charge head-on? What a reckless way of fighting!” Darui quickly formed seals with both hands, “Water Escape, Water Array Wall!”
A large amount of water gushed out of his mouth, and then formed a river rushing towards him. However, this was not the end. Darui’s seal changed again, and the speed of sealing was very fast.
“Thunder escape, grateful wave!”
The lightning and thunder traveled in the water flow, maximizing its power. He originally possessed chakra of lightning and water attributes. Although it was only the simplest C-level ninjutsu, and it was not a ninjutsu known for its lethality, the lightning and thunder strengthened by the water flow had a strong paralyzing effect.
“The combination of Lightning Style and Water Style? It is indeed a good fighting method, but unfortunately, my existence is your nemesis. Ninjutsu of this level cannot work on me!” Xia Yan was in no mood to play with him. He swung his left hand fiercely and defeated the Water Style in an instant. Naturally, the Lightning Style could not attach to him and disappeared as well.
“Varied………”
Before he could finish his exclamation, Xia Yan’s left hand had already grabbed his neck, choking his words in his throat, and then his whole body floated into the air.
Darui was thrown to the ground by Xia Yan. The huge force caused the ground to explode, forming a spider web. Darui’s eyes widened and his eyeballs began to roll back. It was obvious that he had suffered extremely serious injuries. If his throat had not been strangled by Xia Yan, he would probably have vomited out his internal organs.
Flash sale!
This was a result that no one had expected. No matter if it was the Fourth Raikage or the Third Hokage, or even Danzo and those Cloud Ninja Villages, everyone was watching it in a daze. They thought it would be a long fight, but in the end it turned out to be a situation where they were killed in an instant?
And what happened just now? Darui used two ninjutsu in an instant, and the speed of the seal was fast enough to show that his strength was not weak, but Xia Yan directly broke through the blockade of the two ninjutsu in an unimaginable way, and then subdued the opponent in an instant. This is simply a fantasy.
With the combination of Lightning Escape and Water Escape, even if one is very strong, the body should be paralyzed in a short period of time. Why is Xia Yan not hurt at all?
How could they know the horror of the Twelve Trials? If a B-level Noble Phantasm can be invalidated, it means that an A-level ninjutsu cannot work on Xia Yan. In other words, if the power does not reach S-level, all ninjutsu and physical skills are just a joke to Xia Yan.
“You dare to challenge me with this strength?”
Xia Yan let go of Darui’s throat, but it was over. He had shown no mercy in that blow just now. Under such a heavy blow, Darui’s internal organs might have been displaced, especially his head which had been severely hit. Even if he didn’t become a fool, he probably had a severe concussion. He probably wouldn’t be able to get up for a year or two.
“But forget it, the duel is over here, thank you for the hospitality!” Xia Yan smiled. The thank you for the hospitality he was talking about was directed to the Fourth Raikage. After all, Thunder Body Technique was something he had always wanted to obtain.
When Xia Yan was about to leave, the Fourth Raikage finally reacted. Looking at Xia Yan’s back, anger flashed in his eyes, but he didn’t know what to do. This result was something he had never expected. He actually subdued Darui with just one move?
This is simply a fantasy. Darui possesses a bloodline limit and is very talented. He became a jonin of the Cloud Village at the age of sixteen. His strength is elite among the jonin. How old is Xia Yan?
He was only seven years old, maybe even eight years old, how could such a kid have the strength to kill a jonin instantly? And the situation just now really made him very unconvinced, because the battle ended too quickly, Darui was killed instantly before he could even exert one tenth of his strength, which was too aggrieved.
Of course, losing is losing. The fact that Darui’s strength was not fully utilized was not because Xia Yan used any conspiracy or trickery. The only explanation was that Xia Yan’s strength was much higher than Darui’s, reaching the point where he could be killed instantly. In this case, unless Xia Yan deliberately let Darui win, Darui would have no chance to show his strength at all.
With the twelve trials at his disposal, most ninjas would probably be killed instantly by Xia Yan without his opponents knowing. This is the importance of intelligence, so Xia Yan often says that whether it is ninjutsu or magic, it is precisely because of its mystery that it possesses infinite power, but once it is exposed, the power will be greatly weakened.
It’s not a real weakening, but once someone knows the secret of the Twelve Trials, the other party will find a way to deal with it. Just like just now, even if Darui’s bloodline limit could not break Xia Yan’s Twelve Trials in the end, at least if he was prepared, he would not let Xia Yan get close to him so easily, nor would he be killed instantly.
“That little brat has a lot of secrets that we don’t know about!” Danzo was very excited, his hands were shaking. He wanted it so much, Xia Yan’s secret techniques, everything about Xia Yan, he wanted to get them. If he could possess all of them, then conquering the entire ninja world would not be a difficult task.
At the same time, he was also very jealous. Why would such a powerful secret technique be mastered by the Uchiha clan? Thinking of this, Danzo’s murderous intent increased greatly. The current Uchiha threat was too great. If Xia Yan grew up in the future, the entire Konoha would suffer a devastating disaster.
It was not only Danzo who had this idea. Even the Third Hokage couldn’t help but feel murderous intent in his heart. He was also very afraid of Xia Yan’s power. Whether it was the ability to create precious ninja tools out of thin air or the physique that could even ignore ninjutsu, once Xia Yan announced all of this to the Uchiha clan, the strength of the Uchiha clan would greatly increase, and by then even Konoha would not be able to do anything to the Uchiha.
Chapter 44 is finally here! (Old version)
The duel between Xia Yan and Darui was a secret and was blocked by the Third Hokage. Even the Uchiha side did not receive the news. After all, they did not want Xia Yan’s abilities to be exposed, especially to the Uchiha side. Of course, as to whether Xia Yan would report to Uchiha Fugaku, that was not something the Third Hokage and his men could control. The reason for the blockade was just the most basic preventive measure.
However, Xia Yan is not the kind of person who would show off after having nothing to do. Besides, the fewer people who know about his secrets, the better. It’s not that he is afraid of what Uchiha Fugaku will do to him, but Uchiha Fugaku is the head of the clan. What if he asks Xia Yan to contribute his projection magic for the sake of the family?
This magic is not something that everyone can learn. Xia Yan was able to master it with the power of the Holy Grail. If it were someone else, he couldn’t guarantee it. If no one else could learn it except himself, the tribe members would think that he was too selfish and create a rift between them.
Of course, he didn’t care what his tribesmen thought of him, but after all, being looked down upon was not a good thing.
After getting the Thunder Body Technique, Xia Yan began to study it carefully. After a whole day, he finally memorized all the contents in his mind without missing a word. Then he destroyed the rolled sleeves. He was not a selfless person. The reason why the secret technique was precious was because so few people knew it. If it became a cabbage, it would be of no value.
“Although I have memorized everything, now is not the time to practice. The people from the Cloud Ninja Village should be about to take action against Hinata!” Xia Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, put on the Anbu uniform, and went out wearing a mask.
After the competition with Darui, the peace covenant was successfully signed, but the Fourth Raikage continued to stay in Konoha on the pretext of sightseeing. Needless to say, there must be some unspeakable secret, and Xia Yan knew that their purpose was to obtain the Byakugan.
At the same time, Xia Yan’s mission was resumed, which was to monitor the movements of the Cloud Ninja group.
As night fell, most people in the village fell into a deep sleep, but there was a heavy atmosphere hidden in the darkness. Almost all of Konoha’s Anbu were dispatched, surrounding several important places in Konoha Village, such as where the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki lived, the Hokage’s office, etc.
“Captain, why should we stay with the Hyuga clan? As one of Konoha’s powerful clans, they have many strong men. They don’t need our Anbu to protect them!”
As the captain of a team, Xia Yan naturally has two subordinates following him closely. Of course, it is unknown whether they are here for Xia Yan’s deployment or to monitor him under Danzo’s orders.
“You just need to obey orders, and don’t worry about the rest!” Xia Yan glanced at the two of them without a good tone. These two guys were Danzo’s men, so naturally he would not have a good attitude.
“Tsk, he’s just a kid. If it wasn’t for the order from Danzo-sama…”
The two cursed in their hearts, but their faces were covered by masks, so their expressions could not be seen. It didn’t seem to be a good look, but after all, they were people from the Root organization, and they had very good endurance. They dispersed to the left and right and monitored the Hyuga clan’s territory according to Xia Yan’s orders.
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was three o’clock in the morning. Xia Yan frowned. Did the guys from the Cloud Ninja Village give up? This shouldn’t be the case. Or was it because of me that caused the butterfly effect?
He was not a man with much patience, and just as he was about to decide to retreat, four or five sneaky figures climbed in from the back door of the Hyuga clan. They were wearing ninja vests of the Cloud Ninja Village and forehead protectors. Their outfit was very bold and they did not know how to conceal themselves at all.
But think about it, Konoha has always been the one seeking peace, which allows the Cloud Village to have the upper hand. If they are caught, these people can just say that they came to Konoha for the first time and didn’t know the way and accidentally broke into the Hyuga clan’s territory. Although it is a lie that can be easily exposed, for Konoha, which is bent on seeking peace, the Third Hokage would probably not dare to make things difficult for them and could only turn a blind eye and let them go.
“Captain, they are ninjas from the Kumogakure Village. I’m afraid their purpose of sneaking into the Hyuga clan is to get the Byakugan. What should we do!”
Xia Yan noticed it, and his two subordinates naturally noticed it as well. They were extremely surprised. They didn’t understand how Xia Yan knew the purpose of the Cloud Ninja Village. Could he have predicted it?
“Of course we will kill him, but you don’t have to do anything!” Xia Yan finally smiled under the mask. The Cloud Ninja Village finally took action, and it was worth his efforts to wait here.
However, he did not act immediately. What he wanted to do was to take action after Hinata Hyuga was kidnapped. Only in this way could he maximize his goal.
In sight, five ninjas from the Cloud Village swiftly entered the Hyuga clan’s mansion and headed straight to the central area with ease. It was obvious that they had obtained enough information before, such as the specific residence of the Hyuga clan’s eldest daughter.
After a while, five people ran out again, but one of them had a sack on his shoulder, and it was obvious what was inside.
“Hurry up, get this little girl out of Konoha Village before the Hyuga clan members can react!”
The five people had excitement on their faces. As long as they successfully completed the task, they would all receive huge rewards. They all had the dream of getting rich. As they saw the gate was just before them, the five people’s eyes were shining brightly. They only had a few steps left to complete the task.
Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~
At this moment, four scarlet spears broke through the air, faster than bullets, and instantly pierced through the bodies of the four people, nailing them to the ground.
“What?” The only remaining man, with a sack on his shoulder, was stunned by the scene. Looking up, he saw a masked man standing on the wall, with dozens of swords, spears, and halberds suspended in the air, and all the sharp blades were pointed at him.
“That’s enough, you rats from the Cloud Ninja Village!” Xia Yan took off his mask, revealing a slightly immature but handsome face. His scarlet pupils held a hint of a smile, but in the darkness of the night, this hint of a smile in his Sharingan was like the mockery of a devil’s eye.
(PS: There will be at least one or two more chapters in the evening. Please support me. In the hot summer, the author is sweating profusely while typing. Even if I die of heat, I will open the coffin and shout out with a rotten voice~~~ Please reward me and collect me!)
Chapter 45 Little Hinata! (Old version)
“It’s you? Uchiha Xia Yan!”
When he saw that childish face, the Cloud Ninja was speechless, with a look of horror on his face. If it was before today, he might not have recognized this child who was only seven years old, but the scenes during the day were still lingering in his mind. Killing Darui in an instant? This kind of strength was simply not something he could contend with.
“Oh? Apparently you were there during the day. If that’s the case, then you should know that it’s impossible for you to escape from my hands. Hand over the person in your hands, and I can let you die quickly. Otherwise, if I hand you over to Konoha, the torture you will suffer will be a thousand times more severe!”
Xia Yan was too lazy to waste time talking to him. He raised his right hand slightly, and dozens of swords, spears, and halberds appeared out of thin air. Together with the ones projected earlier, there must be no less than a hundred of them. “Or do you want me to cut you into pieces?”
Looking at the densely packed swords, spears, and halberds, the Cloud Ninja’s legs began to tremble. He did not doubt Xia Yan’s words at all. If he dared to move a step, he would be pierced through the heart by thousands of swords.
Whoosh! Ziz!
Just as he was wavering, a long sword pierced his heart at an extremely fast speed, and then a silver chain flew over, tied up the sack, and slowly pulled it into Xia Yan’s arms. This incident happened too suddenly and ended very quickly, so fast that the Cloud Ninja didn’t even have time to react.
“Monster…monster!” The Cloud Ninja had a look of fear and relief on his face. He just uttered these two words before falling to the ground and losing his life.
“Hmph, where are the monsters!” Xia Yan curled his lips slightly, then touched his eyes and murmured, “The real monsters have not been released yet. I hope you, the Cloud Ninja Village, can take care of yourselves. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”
If Xia Yan’s Distorted Mystic Eyes were fully released, not to mention distorting the entire Land of Lightning, at least the Cloud Village could be distorted. Everything within the sight would be distorted. Xia Yan’s Distorted Mystic Eyes happened to have the two functions of clairvoyance and perspective. No matter what kind of existence it is, it cannot stop the power of the Distorted Mystic Eyes.
With a slight wave of his right hand, the treasures in the void disappeared one after another. Then he ordered Alice to pick up the magic crystals on the ground. There were a total of 750 magic crystals. On average, each person contributed about 150. Adding the ones left over from before, Xia Yan now had a total of 1,810 magic crystals, which was still some distance away from 2,800.
After picking up all the magic crystals, he slowly opened the sack. The first thing that caught his eye was a pair of pure white eyes with a hint of fear. This was a very cute little Loli. I believe that anyone who has seen Hinata when she was a child will know how cute she is. After all, she will be a goddess-level figure in the future. Xia Yan was immediately melted by her cuteness.
“Don’t be afraid, everything is fine!” Xia Yanfu touched little Hinata’s head and comforted her softly.
It seemed that Xia Yan’s comfort had worked. Although there was still fear in the eyes of little Hinata, she still timidly said, “Big brother, did you save me?”
“Well, so you don’t have to be afraid, I will protect you!” A light flashed in Xia Yan’s eyes. Isn’t this the result he wanted?
He knew all the consequences of getting involved in this matter. The Cloud Ninja Village would definitely demand the murderer to be handed over as in the original novel. However, Xia Yan didn’t care about that. After being reborn into this world, Xia Yan could do whatever he wanted. What was the point of being timid?
Some things are good to say. With the system, a magical tool for killing monsters and upgrading, in hand, it is impossible to live a stable life, unless one is a saint who has no desires or demands. But obviously, Xia Yan cannot be a saint. He has his own desires and pursuits. Once he has desires and pursuits, he will inevitably be caught in the vortex. In this way, trouble is inevitable. However, he is never afraid of trouble. It is better to say that he hopes for more trouble, so that he can become stronger and stronger.
Besides, with his current strength, there is no need to be timid. Don’t forget, the entire Uchiha is behind him. I believe that even the Third Hokage would not dare to attack him casually.
Little Hinata is very timid. After looking at Xia Yan for a few seconds, she shyly turned her head away. Her fair face was already flushed, and she wished she could bury her whole head in Xia Yan’s arms. This look made Xia Yan so cute. Her body was soft, small, and so innocent. She was simply the incarnation of a perfect loli.
“No, no, I’m not a lolita complex!” Xia Yan suddenly woke up. He didn’t want to be a lolita complex.
Unfortunately, a group of people in kimonos came running over quickly. They were all from the Hyuga clan. After all, the commotion here was so loud that it almost alarmed the entire Hyuga clan. The most important thing was that the kidnapped person was the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan. This situation was too serious.
After all, Hinata Hanabi has not been born yet, and Hinata Hiashi is almost training Hinata as his successor, so her importance is self-evident.
Xia Yan jumped down from the wall, still holding little Hinata in his arms, and looked at the leader in front of him, who was Hyuga Hiashi.
Hinata Hiashi also obviously recognized Xia Yan. He looked at the bodies next to him, and his frown relaxed. With a look of gratitude on his face, he stepped forward and said, “Thank you for coming to help. Otherwise, my daughter would have been kidnapped by these thieves!”
“Lord Hiashi, there’s no need to thank me. I’m here representing the Anbu, not the Uchiha or myself, so these are what I should do!” Xia Yan smiled and handed little Hinata to Hiashi Hyuga.
After all, Hyuga Hiashi and his father are of the same generation, so he can naturally bear the title of “adult”. It is not a lowering of status, but a matter of etiquette. Xia Yan is not a barbarian. When facing elders with whom he has no grudges, no matter how strong he is, he has to maintain the most basic etiquette, otherwise others will say that he is uneducated.
“It’s really a formidable young age. I didn’t expect you to have such strength at such a young age!” Hyuga Hiashi sighed, but did not show any malice. Although the Hyuga and Uchiha were not on good terms, at least they did not show it openly. What’s more, Xia Yan was indebted to the Hyuga clan, and he was an elder, so he naturally would not lose his manners.
“Thank you for your praise, Lord Hiashi. Now that this matter is over, I will leave now!” Xia Yan didn’t want to continue teasing Hyuga Hiashi. Anyway, his goal had been achieved. Didn’t he see the admiring look in little Hinata’s eyes?
After saying that, Xia Yan’s two subordinates also appeared, lifted up the five bodies, and then disappeared with Xia Yan.
Chapter 46: Here comes the army to call for punishment! (Old version)
Just as Xia Yan expected, early the next morning, the ninjas of the Cloud Village, led by the Fourth Raikage, carried five corpses and ran to the Hokage’s office building in a menacing manner, intending to be the first to complain and then turn the tables.
“Sir Raikage, what do you mean?” The Third Hokage had a headache. He knew that something big must have happened.
Danzo on the side said nothing, with a faint smile on his lips, because he already knew what happened. After all, the two subordinates around Xia Yan were his spies.
“Hokage, you still ask me what I mean, I want to ask you what Konoha means!” The Fourth Raikage was furious, his eyes flashing with murderous light, with a righteous look, pointing at the five corpses on the ground and said angrily, “We, the Kumogami Village, intended to form an alliance with your Konoha, but in the end you Konoha did this. Last night, five of my subordinates died at the hands of your Konoha ninjas!”
“Impossible!” The Third Hokage’s face changed and he immediately refuted. He finally understood why the Fourth Raikage brought five corpses to cause trouble. This made him feel dizzy. They had finally formed an alliance, but they didn’t expect such a serious thing to happen at this critical juncture.
The Fourth Raikage sneered, “The bodies are right here. We can use special secret methods to find out the cause of their death. Do I have to lie to you?”
That’s right, every village has its own secret method to investigate the brain of the deceased, such as analyzing the ninjutsu and secret techniques mastered by the deceased during his lifetime. Of course, the memory can also be checked. The Third Hokage could not refute this. It would be better to say that he could no longer refute it, because he believed that the Fourth Raikage would not speak nonsense about things that could be known as soon as they were investigated.
“Sir Raikage, I have witnesses regarding the deaths of several of your subordinates. It seems that you were the first to covet the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan and kidnapped them, which led to this result!” At this time, Danzo spoke. Of course, he was not trying to exonerate Xia Yan. Rather, he was watching the fact that Xia Yan killed the envoy of the Cloud Ninja Village.
“Nonsense, where is your witness?” The Fourth Raikage felt a little guilty, but he quickly became tough. He couldn’t retreat even a single step at this time.
Danzo smiled slightly and waved his hand. Suddenly, two masked Anbu appeared in the conference room and knelt on one knee on the ground. They were Xia Yan’s two subordinates.
“You two report what happened last night!” Danzo ordered.
“Yes!” One of them quickly began to recount what happened last night. “From the beginning, Captain Xia Yan seemed to know that the Cloud Ninja Village had some plans for the Hyuga clan’s Byakugan, so he had been guarding there. As a result, last night, several Cloud Ninjas sneaked into the Hyuga clan’s mansion and kidnapped the Hyuga clan’s eldest daughter. Fortunately, Captain Xia Yan acted in time to kill the thieves, so no disaster happened!”
This time, the Third Hokage was completely troubled. As smart as he was, he naturally knew that things would not end so easily. After all, these were just one-sided words from the ninjas of Konoha Village. Without the existence of a third party, the Cloud Village could be wiped out in one go.
The biggest problem is that if it was an ordinary person, it would be fine. At most, he could be pushed out as a scapegoat to appease the anger of the Kumogakure, but who is Xia Yan? He is the eldest son of Uchiha Fugaku. According to convention, he is the next clan leader.
In addition to his unparalleled talent and extremely high reputation in the Uchiha clan, if the Third Hokage dared to push Xia Yan to be a scapegoat, it might cause a violent backlash from the Uchiha clan, and even a real rebellion.
“Nonsense, this is completely one-sided statement from your Konoha Village. No matter what, we in the Cloud Village will not sit idly by. The murderer must be handed over!” The Fourth Raikage started to act arrogantly, glaring at the Third Hokage angrily, feeling very righteous.
Even though this guy has a bad temper, he is still a Raikage. If you really treat him as a stubborn fool, you will die without knowing how you died.
“This…” The Third Hokage was very angry and cursed Xia Yan thousands of times in his heart. He actually dared to kill the messenger of the Cloud Village at this critical juncture. It was simply causing trouble. However, now was not the time to think about this. He had to quickly calm the anger of the Fourth Raikage.
“Sir Raikage, there are still many doubts in this matter, but how about you wait a few days and let us discuss it first?” The Third Hokage said cautiously.
How can he still be a heroic ninja in this state? The Fourth Raikage is obviously being unreasonable. They had ulterior motives from the beginning. Logically, Konoha should be in the right, but the Third Hokage was too weak and did not dare to go to war with the Kumogakure, so he was led by the nose by the other side.
However, since he could not vent his anger on the Cloud Ninja Village, he could only curse Xia Yan in his heart. It must be said that this was a huge irony. No matter what Xia Yan’s purpose was in saving Hyuga Hinata, he was protecting his companions in the village, which was a merit. However, now he has become a sinner.
“Hmph, Third Hokage, I respect you as a senior in the ninja world, so I’ll give you a favor. Three days. I’ll give you three days. After three days, I want to see Uchiha Xia Yan’s body, otherwise our Cloud Ninja Village will never let it go!” The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly, seemed to have thought of something, and added another sentence.
“Our army of the Kumogakure Village has assembled early this morning and is advancing towards the Land of Fire. If you, Konoha, cannot give us an explanation in three days, then I’m sorry. We in the Kumogakure Village will never be afraid of anyone!”
The implication was very clear. If Xia Yan’s body was not found within three days, then war would be started directly. Moreover, the Cloud Ninja Village had gathered its troops early, and it was obvious that they had made all the preparations when they came.
After watching the Fourth Raikage and his group leave the conference room, the Third Hokage suddenly became unsteady on his feet and put his hands on the table, with a trace of worry in his eyes. It had only been three years since the truce, so was a new war about to start again?
Go to war with the Kumogakure Village when the Sannin left and the Golden Flash died?
The Third Hokage could not imagine such consequences. If it was just the Cloud Village, it would be fine, but the Sand Village, the Mist Village, and the Iwagakure Village were probably all waiting for an opportunity for revenge. Once the war broke out, Konoha would face fierce attacks from four villages, and defeat would be a matter of time.
“Can we only hand over Uchiha Xia Yan?”
Chapter 47: The Prelude to the Storm! (Old Version)
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and there was only one day left before the three-day deadline given by the Cloud Village. Xia Yan was not clear about this, but he knew without a doubt that the Cloud Village and the Third Hokage must have negotiated. As for what choice the Third Hokage would make, Xia Yan felt that he could guess it with his toes.
However, what puzzled him was why the Third Hokage had not sent anyone to cause trouble in the past two days, as if that incident had never happened at all.
Of course, Xia Yan didn’t think that the Cloud Ninja Village would let the matter go. Such silence was like the prelude to a storm.
After completing the mission of the Anbu, Xia Yan returned home quietly as usual. However, as soon as he stepped into the Uchiha clan’s territory, Xia Yan frowned. He always felt that there were many pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark.
“So that’s how it is. In order to prevent the Uchiha clan from suddenly rebelling, they sent the Anbu to monitor this place early in the morning?” Xia Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, but he always felt that things were not that simple. If it was just surveillance, it might be that Konoha Village wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out the Uchiha clan in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, he ignored the Anbu hiding in secret and quickly returned home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Uchiha Fugaku ready to go, which made Xia Yan’s ominous premonition even stronger.
“Dad, do you still have work to do so late?” Xia Yan asked. “The work of the security department should have been finished!”
“Oh, it’s Xia Yan. Has the work in the Anbu been completed?” Uchiha Fugaku raised the corner of his mouth. Whenever he saw Xia Yan, he would feel a deep sense of honor. After all, Xia Yan was so outstanding, and he, as a father, would naturally feel happy.
“Well, compared to this, could something have happened in the Security Department?” Xia Yan nodded.
“That’s not the case. I just received an order from the Hokage. There is a mission that I need to complete. I’m ready to set off now!” Uchiha Fugaku smiled and said nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Xia Yan’s thoughts suddenly became clear. It seemed that Uchiha Fugaku didn’t know about the Cloud Village. In this case, there was only one possibility, that is, the Third Hokage deliberately concealed this matter, and now used the mission as an excuse to transfer Uchiha Fugaku away from Konoha…
“In other words, the Third Hokage probably had only two purposes for doing this. The first was to bypass Uchiha Fugaku and capture me directly, and the second purpose…” Thinking of this, Xia Yan couldn’t help but laugh. That’s right, absolutely right. The Third Hokage’s purpose was probably not as simple as just capturing him.
If the guess is correct, he deliberately transferred Uchiha Fugaku away, and then took advantage of the Uchiha clan’s unpreparedness to let the Anbu hiding in the dark rush out in one fell swoop and kill all the leaderless Uchiha clan. In this way, Xia Yan would be nothing more than a piece of cake for them.
“Xia Yan, what are you laughing at?” Uchiha Fugaku was slightly stunned. He couldn’t understand Xia Yan’s sudden smile, and he could also feel the murderous intent from it.
Xia Yan came back to his senses, stared at Uchiha Fugaku, and said, “Dad, I’m afraid you can’t carry out this mission!”
“What’s going on?” Uchiha Fugaku frowned even deeper.
Afterwards, Xia Yan began to tell the whole story. As Xia Yan told all his guesses, Uchiha Fugaku’s face almost turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Bang!
“How ridiculous!” Uchiha Fugaku slammed the table heavily with his hand in rage. Of course, this anger was not directed at Xia Yan, but at the Konoha high-level officials.
After all, regardless of the purpose of Xia Yan’s actions, there is no doubt that Xia Yan’s job at that time was to monitor the envoys of the Cloud Village. In other words, the Cloud Village wanted to kidnap the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan but was stopped by Xia Yan. Logically speaking, this was a task assigned to him by the village. In terms of emotion and reason, Xia Yan did nothing wrong.
But in the end, they completed the mission well according to the orders given by the Konoha high-level officials, but were turned against by the Cloud Ninja Village. In order to appease the anger of the thieves, they wanted to push their companions in their own village as sacrifices. This fact is really absurd.
“It’s been two days since this happened, but dad has not received any news about it. That is to say, the Konoha high-ups have no intention of seeking the opinions of our Uchiha clan. Now they are transferring you away from the village under the pretext of a mission. It seems that the purpose of the Konoha high-ups is very simple. I’m afraid they want to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out our Uchiha clan and eliminate the trouble forever!” Xia Yan said gritting his teeth.
He didn’t feel anything before, but now that he said it out loud, he once again realized the shamelessness of the Third Hokage and his men. The original work constantly praised the Third Hokage’s nobility, saying that he was willing to sacrifice himself for the village, etc. To be honest, at the beginning, the only person Xia Yan hated in his heart was Danzo, but as time went by, he gradually discovered that compared to Danzo, the Third Hokage was the most disgusting.
At least Danzo is daring and courageous, while the Third Hokage can only bear the light but not the darkness, which is really shameful.
This is not intentional vilification of the Third Hokage. This can be seen from the kidnapping of Hinata by the Kumogakure in the original work. It was obviously the Kumogakure who first committed the kidnapping act. As a result, after the thief was killed by Hyuga Hiashi, the Kumogakure came forward to hold the thief accountable. But what did the Konoha high-level officials do?
The reason they did it was to maintain peace, but what they actually did was chilling. In order to appease the Kumogakure, they actually asked Hyuga Hiashi to commit suicide. Hyuga was one of the powerful families in Konoha. It was really an irony.
What is the Kumogakure? They were the first to kidnap the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, but because Hyuga Hiashi resisted to protect his daughter, he had to commit suicide in the end?
What kind of logic is this? Generally speaking, shouldn’t Konoha go up to the battlefield to punish the culprit? Aren’t the Hyuga clan the real victims? Why did it turn out that the Hyuga clan became the criminals?
The reason is that the Third Hokage and the Konoha high-level officials were too weak. In order to appease the anger of the thieves, they actually sent their companions from the village away. Isn’t this equivalent to forcing their companions to death? How can such people be qualified to talk about peace?
