July 16, eight in the morning.
Team 7 gather at the training ground----
"Well done, you have the same style as I did back then, hahaha!" Jiraiya was very proud - not only did his students pass the preliminaries, but none of the three were eliminated.
Of course, Jiraiya knows what happened halfway through the pre-test----
"I believe you also understand that sometimes saving yourself first is also for the ultimate victory." Jiraiya said seriously immediately.
Because the "mysterious man attack" is still a confidential matter, Jiraiya did not say anything clearly.
When Jiraiya heard that Akaseki and Ranwu were attacked, he was worried at first and even asked Sandai to abstain, but Sandai refused - you are not referring to Genin!
Later, I heard that Akaseki and the others were starting to adopt conservative tactics, and Jiraiya was relieved.
In that case, you still have to continue taking the exam----
Very adventurous spirit!
At the same time, what makes Jiraiya gratified is that they did not make any mistakes, and finally maintained their previous results, and even steadily expanded their points, retaining fourth place.
Before the attack, if Minato's scores were also included, Team 7 was actually number one.
"Okay, it's a little early to celebrate now. The final exam will be held in half a month. I don't need to emphasize its importance to you. The last half month is also the time for you to make final improvements!" Jiraiya said.
The intense pre-test has also given these Genin a deeper understanding of combat and their own strength. After that, it is necessary to transform this "experience" into a real improvement in combat effectiveness through practice----
"Akaseki, Ranwu, your two tribesmen have told me that there will be special training arrangements in the future, right?" Jiraiya said.
"Yes." Akaseki and Ranwu both nodded.
"Well, although the same race knows your respective Secret Technique better, I still want to say that you should be relaxed during special training, especially you----Ranwu. After all, Tsunade is not that good at being a teacher. If she goes crazy and reveals her mother gorilla side, you can----uh----"
Jiraiya was just halfway through speaking when he suddenly shuddered. He saw the three lovely students in front of him, all looking eagerly behind him. Jiraiya turned his head stiffly and saw----
"Jiraiya, if you have any objections to me, you can leave us to practice together!" Tsunade raised his clenched fists and said through gritted teeth.
"That----I won't bother you!" Jiraiya said, pulling on Minato and saying Hand Seals.
After a slight delay, Jiraiya and Minato disappeared with a "bang" sound.
Tsunade raised his eyebrows----
Akaseki also saw at this time that the disappearance of Teacher Jiraiya and Minato just now was due to the summons of "Reverse Summoning Technique" - Hand Seals of Jiraiya, which was just a notification function.
In other words, Jiraiya and Minato should now be the hometown of Toad who signed Summoning Contract in Jiraiya.
It seems that Teacher Jiraiya is preparing to strengthen Summoning Beast for Minato?
"Huh? Akaseki, why are you still here? Go back and practice quickly, now is not the time for you to cultivate your relationship." Tsunade saw that Akaseki was not leaving, and deliberately teased him and waved his hand to drive him away.
"What about cultivating feelings!" Ranwu immediately refuted it, and then said, "We have important things to tell you!"
"Ah? Have you skipped the step of cultivating feelings? How old are you? It's quite a legacy of the Warring States Period -" Tsunade said this, but his eyes glanced around.
Immediately before Ranwu went crazy, Tsunade said first, "Then tell me."
When she saw the look in Ranwu's eyes just now, she knew that she wanted to make sure for herself whether there were any prying eyes around her, and Tsunade did confirm it.
Just when Ranwu was about to speak, he looked at Akaseki first--it would be better for Akaseki--
That's right, Ranwu still has to tell Tsunade what happened to "Sharingan" before.
The reason why Akaseki hid it was because Ranwu felt that it was not suitable for Konoha High Command to know about it now that Shimura Danzō was here, and even the third generation entered her alert range.
In the final analysis, Ranwu does not want Uchiha Clan or Akaseki to suffer any unnecessary disaster, that is, she does not believe in the judgment of some senior officials in the village. It is not that she "betrayed the village" for Akaseki or that she ignored "Konoha's safety."
Just like Akaseki, he doesn't trust the judgment of Clan Leader and Clan Elder and will hide some things from them. However, this does not mean that his sense of belonging to the Uchiha Clan has been weakened. He just simply does not believe in their abilities and overly trusts their ability to make things worse.
In this regard, the two of them are the same.
During the "last words" before, Ranwu also asked Akaseki to find Tsunade.
Now that Ranwu is back alive, of course he has to drag Akaseki to come and explain things clearly to sister Tsunade.
In case there is really some big conspiracy against Konoha behind it, Tsunade knows about it and can be more prepared.
"Lady Tsunade----" Akaseki said after a moment of silence.
If it was just about "Sharingan", Akaseki had agreed with Ranwu before to tell Tsunade. Akaseki hesitated, but it was about "Madara"!
"You usually call me Tsunade, or just like Ranwu, just call me sister Tsunade." Tsunade's attitude towards him was also a little closer than before.
Of course, this is mainly because of Ranwu. After this period of time, Tsunade discovered that this Uchiha Clan has really become Ranwu's "important companion", instead of just forming a temporary team like other Uchiha Clan Genin and other teammates----
Especially during the previous preliminary test, Ranwu was seriously injured, Akaseki excitedly activated Two-Tomoe Sharingan, and then used a certain Secret Technique to delay the deterioration of Ranwu's internal organs injuries, which made Tsunade feel that it was not good to be too outspoken.
"Okay, Tsunade eldest sister." Akaseki said an awkward title.
Tsunade:----
"Actually, that's the case. During the assessment, Ranwu and I met the old man named Rinnegan - there was one thing that we didn't tell the examiner Hatake at the time." Akaseki said it.
Tsunade heard this, his expression suddenly became serious and his eyes became sharp. "What are you hiding?"
If Ranwu hadn't concealed it for some reason, Tsunade could have been more serious----
"Before his eyes turned into "Rinnegan", they actually - first changed into "Three-Tomoe Sharingan"." Akaseki said.
"What?" Tsunade was also stunned when he heard this.
"But he didn't use the ability related to Sharingan, he just disappeared in a flash!" Ranwu added on the side.
The meaning of Ranwu is obvious - it's just a pattern, who knows if it's true or not----
Tsunade also calmed down a bit at this time.
It's not because of Ranwu's words, Tsunade doesn't think that the other party's disguise is "estrangement" - after all, if Ranwu dies, then there will only be Akaseki as an insider, and the elements of estrangement are not established at all!
Mainly because Akaseki was telling her this matter, which at least made Tsunade feel that it was not "Uchiha Clan" who was causing trouble.
"You should have told Kensho Uchiha, right?" Tsunade also called Clan Leader by the Uchiha Clan's first name.
"That's right, Clan Leader is also surprised, and ---- we Uchiha Clan don't have such an old tribe at all. Clan Leader suspects that it is a hidden tribe that was not incorporated into Konoha during the Warring States Period." Akaseki's tone became lowered.
Listening to Akaseki's tone, Tsunade knew that there was something important to say, and immediately Akaseki asked, "Sister Tsunade, do you know----Mangekyō Sharingan?"
Although it is a secret within the clan and not known to ordinary clan members, Akaseki feels that Konoha Ninja, who is strong enough, especially the older one, should know!
After all, there are just no records, but there are quite a few ninjas who have actually seen "Mangekyō Sharingan"----
Not to mention anything else, all the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan ninjas when the village was built had seen Madara's Mangekyo Sharingan.
Especially Tsunade. Although she was born in 12 years of Konoha, she is the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju after all. It is unlikely that she does not understand Uchiha Clan's methods of undermining the bottom line.
"Oh? They have already told you?" Tsunade's rhetorical question explained everything.
"After all, I saw that person's eyes too----" Akaseki said helplessly.
"That look in the middle is also a kind of Sharingan?" Ranwu looked at Akaseki in surprise.
Akaseki nodded. "A special form that few people wake up to and has great side effects."
Now Ranwu also understands why Clan Leader of the Uchiha Clan feels that it is "Uchiha Bloodline from outside" rather than "simply framed by Genjutsu".
"Who knows about this matter?" Tsunade confirmed uneasily.
"Only Clan Leader and Lanyu Clan Elder know, and they will definitely not tell anyone else." Akaseki also understands Tsunade's worries.
If all the Uchiha Clan people knew about this, most people would definitely worry about "will the third generation doubt us because of this", and then think about "should we strike first to gain advantage?"
As for the small part?
A small number of the Uchiha Clan may think, "There is such a strong person in our clan, why not invite him back and then attack first"!
Only what Jiancheng Clan Leader and the others said is true. Just the fact that "Mangekyō Sharingan has an unknown awakening method" is enough for them to be wary of this unknown Uchiha Clan.
"It seems they don't know the identity of that person either----Warring States Period----"Tsunade rubbed the corners of his eyes, planning to look for records when he goes back to see if there are any clues.
"They don't know, but----I seem to be able to guess it." Akaseki decided.
Tsunade and Ranwu heard this and looked at Akaseki in surprise.
"Did you find it from historical records?" Tsunade said in surprise - that would save you the trouble of looking through books.
At the same time, I was also a little confused. Don't Kensho Uchiha and Ranyu Uchiha also like reading? A young man discovered it!
"No, I compared it. That person's Mangekyō Sharingan looks a bit like - well, if I remember correctly, it's Madara Uchiha's eyes!" Akaseki said it anyway.
After all----
Madara Uchiha is now the enemy of Konoha, and the same is true for the Uchiha Clan!
Just because there are many clan members who are not clear-headed in the clan, Akaseki dare not tell the matter to the clan, and he is not even completely at ease with Jiancheng and Lanyu, for fear that they will have some ingenious ideas----
