The girl looked to be only ten years old, with long silver hair on one side and jet black hair on the other. Her delicate face, tinged with a sickly smile, was framed by a pair of heterochromatic eyes.

The details of her clothing revealed a sense of fashion; whether it was the pattern on the collar or other eye-catching parts of the clothes, there were exquisite designs.

Her long hair, which covered both sides of her face, was tied with pretty ribbons. Her black stockings and leather boots accentuated the girl's youthful beauty.

Although she is over a hundred years old, according to her half-elf bloodline, as a hybrid descendant of the [Eight Desires Kings] and the [Six Gods], she is actually still a young girl in the prime of her life, possessing a title that is difficult for someone her age to bear.

[The Black Scripture] Side Story: Antilin Heran Fush, also known as [Certain Death], is a god-like being born through a process where hybrids cannot be produced. She is the undefeated trump card of the Siren Theocracy and the last guardian of humanity.

The high command of the Slane Theocracy kept Antilin's existence very well hidden; even Frueda, who had lived for over two hundred years, knew nothing about Antilin.

The reason Antilin wasn't sent out in the last battle against Iwagakure twofold: firstly, to preserve the most favorable guarantee for the revival of the Slane Theocracy; and secondly, because God-kin Captain judged that Antilin wasn't needed against Tsuchikage Han.

Moreover, Antilin's existence is a taboo for the Platinum Dragon Lord of the Council Nation.

If the other party finds out, it could very likely lead to unexpected consequences.

Having once stopped others from attacking the Eight Desires Kings, and ultimately being the only survivor, the Platinum Dragon Lord witnessed firsthand how the Dragon Clan was forced to move from the forefront to the background, and truly hated everything related to the Eight Desires Kings!

Not to mention Antilin, who possesses the sinful blood of the [Eight Desires Kings] and whose strength reaches the level of the Blazing Sun.

The Siren Theocracy and the Bahamas Empire merely exchanged greetings; through a glance, the Cardinal and [Blood Emperor] Gilkinef already understood each other implicitly.

"Hatake!"

The one escorting the Siren Theocracy was Might Duy, who knew he couldn't speak, so he simply kept silent the whole way.

Might Duy, naturally cheerful and sunny, had been holding back a lot of things to say. Now that he had returned to Konoha, he relaxed and saw Hatake Sakumo, and his whole demeanor became noticeably more lively.

"Let's take the guests to a hotel to rest first, and we'll talk later."

The two groups of people walked one after the other on the cobblestone street, attracting little attention.

At the Sarutobi Clan's residence, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who is almost ten years old, has already reached the strength of Chunin in four years under the careful guidance of the clan's Jonin and his Grandfather Sarutobi Sasuke.

Among his classmates, the only one who could rival him for the top spot was the Uchiha.

But after his rival consumed the Bloodline Seed, Sarutobi Shinnosuke realized that his own strength was insufficient.

He rushed home at this moment hoping that Sarutobi Sasuke would also exchange a Bloodline Seed with him, preferably one that could counter Flame Release or Lava Release, like Ice Release.

Maintaining your top ranking in your grade until graduation would be extremely helpful for your continued growth.

Not only can they choose the Higher Education Department Ninja Academy, but they also have a great advantage in choosing their instructors.

In addition, upon enrollment, students will receive a good number of student points, which will be very convenient for exchanging for powerful Ninjutsu or accumulating credits to exchange for Bloodline Seed sold at a discount in the Ninja Academy.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke set himself a small goal-

After graduating from the Higher Education Department Ninja Academy, become an Elite Jonin with two bloodlines, ideally a Morning Star, and then run for the [Royal Court Ninja Army] to dedicate your life to the supreme Leader!

It was well done, as were Sarutobi Sasuke's earnest teachings and the expectations of his teachers and classmates.

"Are they from the Mana Continent?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke glanced at the two groups of people with strange clothes but didn't pay them much attention.

The Primary School Ninja Academy has urgently printed a batch of books on knowledge about the other world, and many children are deeply resentful of the sudden increase in courses.

As a second-generation ninja, Sarutobi Shinnosuke was naturally very familiar with the Mana Continent. Every evening and on his days off, he would absorb more information about the Ninja World.

Even if there were things that Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't understand, Sarutobi Sasuke would patiently teach him and make him remember them so that he could figure them out on his own in the future.

"Today is the day when the defeated nations come to meet His Leader."

Recalling Sarutobi Sasuke's words from yesterday, Sarutobi Shinnosuke took one last look at the two groups of people, then at the white-haired man and the watermelon-headed man who didn't look very old, both bearing the insignia of the [Royal Court Ninja Army], a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.

"Sooner or later, I can do it too."

According to Sarutobi Sasuke's plan, like all the ninja clan members, Sarutobi Shinnosuke had no intention of skipping grades or graduating early.

The Ninja Academy is the best breeding ground for growth. Apart from forbidden techniques, many things can be obtained at the lowest cost by earning credits through excellent performance.

Comparing the merit points, the difficulty level of the two is almost ten times higher!

They used Konoha's resources to accelerate their own growth, and then, after growing stronger, gave back to Konoha. The two complemented each other, and this was the same for the Uchiha and Senju.

In particular, the [Wood Release: Bloodline Seed] which recently appeared in the Academy's exchange program has sparked a frenzy of competition.

With this in mind, Sarutobi Shinnosuke quickened his pace and ran towards his clan. Amidst the gentle greetings of his clansmen, he found the Jonin class and continued to study the three techniques of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu.

At the same time, the existence of Uchiha Takeyasu is both an honor and a pressure for the Uchiha Clan. As an outstanding Uchiha disciple of his age, he will inevitably be urged by his elders to keep up with his studies.

For most outstanding Uchiha children, the concept of fun and relaxation has been lost since they entered the Ninja Academy —no, since they were able to refine Chakra.

If Uchiha Hikari hadn't pulled the reins in time, 007 might have been a blessing for the young Uchiha.

If you can't study to death, then study like there's no tomorrow!

In the Ninja Academy, the number one ranking must be the Uchiha!

Under this guiding ideology, the other children in the Uchiha clan, who were worried about their kids falling too far behind, would often say, "Look at Uchiha XX, he's already number one in his grade and is still studying hard. How can you be lazy!"

The remaining ninja clan members continued to roll up, which put even more pressure on the Uchiha cubs, causing them to roll up even more fiercely.

The ninja clan members were engrossed in the activity, and children from ordinary families also felt this atmosphere and began to work hard as well.

The kids kept rolling up their sleeves, making the adults not want to be overtaken by little brats who weren't even a third their age.

An atmosphere of striving and working even harder swept through the entire Ninja World, starting from the Ninja Academy.
