Task System
Itachi Uchiha kept staring at Xuan Ye with a burning gaze, making Xuan Ye feel a little uneasy. If a beautiful woman looked at him like that, it would be a pleasure, but it was a different story with a little boy.
The ninja teacher narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the target that Xuan Ye Kunai hit with his kunai. Hitting the bullseye with Kunai once was no easy feat.
Furthermore, each of the ten Kunai penetrated the bullseye to a depth nearly half the length of the Kunai. This demonstrates just how powerful the Kunai.
The ninja teacher turned her head and looked at Xuan Ye, who was wandering around aimlessly. A slight doubt arose in her heart about Xuan Ye.
"Why does this kid have such great strength? The fact that all ten Kunai the bullseye shows how much practice he's done. Without a lot of practice, it would be impossible to hit the bullseye so easily. And without considerable strength, the depth to which the ten Kunai embedded in the bullseye would definitely not be half the length of the Kunai."
"Why is that? Could it be that the Xuan Ye I saw before wasn't the real him, and he was hiding his true strength all along? Or is the Xuan Ye I see now the real him, and his current strength is what he always had?"
As the ninja teacher thought about it, the look in his eyes when he looked at Xuan Ye was no longer disdainful, but rather serious and attentive.
"We'll be doing practical training soon. Let's see how strong that kid Xuan Ye really is. We'll know his true strength in no time. He's really hiding it so well. Even I, his teacher, who's known him for so long, didn't notice."
"Alright, now that everyone has tested the accuracy of the Kunai, we'll begin the practical test shortly. Now, students, take a break for a bit, and we'll gather again in ten minutes for the practical test."
The ninja teacher spoke loudly, glancing in Xuan Ye's direction as he spoke, seemingly lost in thought.
Ten minutes later, a large group of students gathered on the grass where they had been training. A ninja instructor stood in front of all the students and was explaining some necessary rules for practical training.
"Listen up, everyone. We are about to conduct a practical test. When you are in the practical test, you must not go too far. If you are not capable of fighting, you must admit defeat in time. Do not be stubborn and get injured."
The ninja teacher above looked at the students below and spoke loudly to them.
The students below listened very attentively to what the ninja teacher had to say, and when he finished speaking, they all shouted in response.
"Alright, I think everyone has finished resting. Since everyone has finished resting, let's get ready for the practical test. I'll call two people at a time now. The people I call, come forward for the practical test."
The ninja teacher then called two students up. In Xuan Ye's eyes, those two students were really weak, but it was hard to say whether Xuan Ye's judgment was accurate.
The two students whose names were called looked excited, their breathing becoming slightly heavier. They slowly walked to the front of all the students, and after the ninja teacher gave the order to start, the two quickly began to fight.
However, for some reason, it seemed that because it was their first time having a real-world test in front of the whole class, the two of them seemed a little hesitant. Even though Xuan Ye could sense that their strength was greater than it was now, they couldn't unleash their full potential during the actual combat.
Forget it, even if they went all out, it would be the same. It would be a back-and-forth of punches and kicks. Not only was the speed incredibly slow, but the power was also shockingly weak. If Xuan Ye were to stand up now, he could probably be beaten by them for a whole day without suffering any damage.
The battle between the two in front was so boring that Xuan Ye returned to a tree, leaned against it, and closed his eyes to rest.
Itachi Uchiha also seemed to find the battle uninteresting and had no intention of watching it. He simply lay down on the grass and closed his eyes, just like Xuan Ye.
However, apart from Xuan Ye and Itachi Uchiha, it seemed that the other students were very interested in this battle, craning their necks as if afraid of missing out on the exciting fight.
Soon the two players were decided, with one of them being slightly stronger. The winner was extremely excited and thrilled, while the loser looked regretful, as if he felt that he could have won if he had played again.
And so, one by one, the students were called up by the ninja teacher, and a winner and a loser were determined. The winners proudly raised their little heads, while the losers desperately tried to lower their heads, feeling that losing in front of so many classmates was a huge loss of face.
Time flew by, and the scorching midday sun soon passed. The sun gradually slid down from the sky into the valley, and night was just around the corner. The temperature in the air began to drop, and a cool breeze blew from afar.
"Itachi Uchiha and Genya Namikaze, you two come here." The ninja instructor in the distance finally called out to the two of them.
Hearing the ninja teacher's call, Xuan Ye walked towards him helplessly, his face full of reluctance.
"Fight Itachi Uchiha? Haha! That's just asking for trouble! With Itachi Uchiha's meager strength, he's not even qualified to spar with me. Now I'm supposed to have a real-world combat test with him? Forget it, I might as well just surrender. After all, Teacher Fang said it's okay to surrender, didn't he?"
Just as Xuan Ye was about to surrender and was about to say it, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"Ding dong. Due to the host's lazy nature, this system has activated the task sub-system. From now on, tasks will be issued to the host, and rewards will be given upon completion of the tasks."
"Ding dong, the system has issued its first mission: defeat Itachi Uchiha, which has greatly shocked the students present."
Mission: Defeat Itachi Uchiha
Task Difficulty: None (Difficulty levels are: None, Low, Medium, High, Hell)
Mission Reward: Wind Style Ninjutsu Half-Moon Slash
Task penalty: None
"The mission system sounds like a pretty good thing. In fact, the system actually issued me a mission so that I could fight Itachi Uchiha, and there are even mission rewards. Not bad, not bad." Xuan Ye fell into deep thought, a slight smile appearing on his face.
