?"You... you are the disciple of Master Third Hokage?"
After recognizing Yu's identity, Anbu Ninja immediately opened his eyes, but his eyes were quickly attracted by Yu's superb Medical Ninjutsu, "So... so awesome Medical Ninjutsu..."
"Thank you so much! Master Yu!!"
Seeing that Yu suddenly appeared in front of him, he healed all his serious injuries that were close to death in the blink of an eye. Anbu Ninja finally stood up from the ground, with unconcealable gratitude and admiration in his tone.
"Okay, you're fine now."
"Go on and carry out your unfinished work."
In just a few breaths, the dying Anbu Ninja was cured. He glanced at Shisui, Itachi, and the three Root ninjas next to him, and Yu said calmly.
"Yes! Master Yu!!"
Hearing this, Anbu Ninja nodded, and then a Body Flicker Technique disappeared from the spot.
"Damn... the secret message was taken away by him! We can't let him go!!"
Seeing Anbu Ninja leaving, the Root female ninja next to her felt anxious and was about to use Body Flicker Technique to catch up.
"Don't be stupid...Crimson Feather is here."
"Do you think he'll give us a chance to continue the pursuit?"
However, at this moment, the Root jounin holding a big sword next to her stopped her, and at the same time stared at Yu standing in front of him with an extremely fearful look, as if he was afraid that this delicate young man would suddenly take action against them.
"Retreat, the mission has failed."
After saying that, the two Root jounin grabbed the female ninja's shoulders, and the three disappeared together.
"Aren't you going to catch up?"
Seeing that Yu Guang made three powerful Root ninjas give up their mission just because of their reputation, while feeling shocked in their hearts, Anko looked at Yu's side face with some confusion.
"No need..."
Hearing Anko's doubts, Yu shook his head silently, his amber eyes shining with inexplicable brilliance in the canyon at dusk, "Before uprooting the entire underground root, it is meaningless no matter how many trash fish you kill."
It can be seen from the fact that these Root ninjas are chasing Anbu Ninja just now. Although after the coup attempt to assassinate Hokage failed, Danzo has been ordered by Third Hokage to disband Root and temporarily kicked out of the Konoha power center.
However, all the ninjas who once truly belonged to Root are still working for Danzo, but they have just moved from the bright side that once showed off in the market to the darker underground.
"Yu, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Seeing Yu's appearance at this time, Shisui next to him seemed a little happy. He put away the dagger in his hand and walked over, "It's great to see you back safe and sound..."
"Um... it's nothing. I said those fog ninjas can't trouble me..."
Seeing Shisui's sincere eyes and concerned tone, Yu was slightly moved.
As one of the few friends he has in Konoha, although Shisui has a somewhat upright and loyal personality, he is highly capable and talented, takes the lead in everything he does, is respected by others, and treats his friends and companions well.
"That's right... after all, you are the strongest genius ninja in our village..."
Shisui chuckled and pulled Itachi over behind him, "This is Itachi, the one I told you about. He is also a genius. I think this is the first time you two have met today, right?"
"No, we've already met once."
But just as Shisui finished speaking, Itachi standing next to him spoke, with a pair of scarlet Two-Tomoe Sharingan staring at Yu in front of him.
Compared with the last time we met, his strength has improved a lot, and he has also awakened the Uchiha clan's blood successor Sharingan.
But standing in front of this young man whose name alone was enough to scare away three Root elite ninjas, Itachi didn't feel at all that he had anything worthy of being called a genius.
Eight years old... You must know that this guy killed Jinchuriki on the battlefield at the age of eight...
But I am still a Genin... What the hell am I doing...
Feeling Yu's huge aura that was still as abyss-like to him, the young Itachi subconsciously clenched his fists. Even though he had an indifferent personality, he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart.
"It seems you still remember me, Itachi."
Sensing the strange gaze of the young Itachi, Yu raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the Itachi god who was still in the growing stage in front of him with interest.
If there are no mistakes in the plot, Itachi will be promoted to Chunin next year, becoming the second ninja after himself to participate in Konoha alone and pass Chunin Ninja Exams.
Of course, Itachi, who is already Awakening Two-Tomoe Sharingan at the age of eight, has already surpassed the ordinary Genin in strength. With his outstanding talent and superior combat IQ, he is one of the best even among Chunin.
This is the best proof from the fact that he just defeated the elite female ninja Root.
"Okay, it's getting late."
"Anko and I won't delay you two from continuing the ninja exercise."
Withdrawing his gaze from Itachi and looking at Shisui in front of him, Yu couldn't help but maliciously imagine the scene of these two good friends having sex, and immediately called Anko and turned to leave together.
"Wait a minute!"
Just as they took a step forward, Shisui behind them stopped them both.
"Have you forgotten, Yu..."
In Yu's stunned eyes, he saw a pair of Shisui and Three-Tomoe Sharingan staring at him with burning eyes, "It was agreed before that after Land of Water comes back from completing the mission, the two of us will compete again."
"Now? Here?"
Feeling the strong fighting spirit exuding from Shisui's eyes, Yu was a little surprised.
"Are you going to back down?"
When it comes to competing with Yu, Shisui seems to be a completely different person, and the sharpness in his scarlet eyes is hard to look into.
"Ha, it seems like your skin is itchy again... Then let me see your progress in the past few years!"
Seeing the sparkle in Shisui's eyes, Yuya became interested. He also wanted to see what level of strength Shisui had reached during this period, when he had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"You have to know that we have been 2-0 so far, but you have never defeated me!"
While he was talking, he saw that there was actually going to be a contest between Yu and Shisui. Itachi and Anko who were next to them quickly got out of the way, freeing up the creek in the middle of the canyon and giving them a temporary battlefield.
"The battle between Crimson Feather and Body Flicker Shisui is going to be exciting now!"
After moving to the side with Itachi, Anko looked at the two teenagers standing on the water facing each other with interest, "I didn't expect that today was the right time! Both guys are monsters, who will be better?"
"Hey, boy, who do you think is more powerful between the two of them?"
As he spoke, Anko put an arm on Itachi's shoulder without any image, completely ignoring the reluctant expression on the boy's face.
Shisui certainly won't lose...
But if the opponent is that guy...
After hearing Anko's words, Itachi reflexively said something to support Shisui's victory.
But when his eyes fell on the young man with white hair and black clothes in front of him, Itachi suddenly lost confidence for some reason.
