Iwagakure, Eastern Region.
There is a specially divided area here, which is the Iwagakure Ninja special training ground specially allocated by the village finance department. This is a permanent area in almost all major ninja villages. As a 'combat unit', ninjas often need to carry out high-intensity self-training to maintain their condition when they are not on missions!
No matter how strong a ninja is, once he neglects training for a certain period of time and his body becomes lazy and cannot keep up with the strength, his strength will gradually weaken. And the training of ninjas, even at the Genin level, can easily have a certain degree of impact on the environment and even damage it, especially the training of ninjutsu. A C-level Ninjutsu can destroy the environment, let alone the higher level Ninjutsu training!
This directly divided area also has different training grounds built according to the needs of ninjas in different situations. This not only facilitates the ninjas in the village, but also does not affect the lives of ordinary civilians!
Otherwise, let alone anything else, the roar and explosion of Ninjutsu and Taijutsu can easily disturb the people during close-range training. And in this training ground, Training Ground Three is mainly a vast plain!
Generally speaking, it is the most frequent training ground for those Iwagakure Ninja who need to practice various ninjutsu. Here they can practice the Ninjutsu they want to master. Anyway, it is just some ordinary herbal vegetation that is worthless. If it is damaged, it can be easily repaired directly.
The reason why Shōji asked Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi to gather here is also because of this. Shōji definitely approves of the three-person team, but in order to consider some future arrangements, Shōji still needs to test the three of them a little!
Look at what level Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi have reached at this age!
On the flat and wide grassland training ground, facing the bright sun hanging high in the sky, three slightly short figures appeared on the field at this moment. These three figures were none other than Itachi, Kurotsuchi, and Deidara. The three of them arrived at Training Ground Three at almost the same time. There was still half an hour left before the time specified in the notice.
After all, it's still only February.
When the morning breeze blows by.
You will still feel a bit of biting chill.
Kurotsuchi couldn't help but shiver all over when the cold wind blew by, and subconsciously complained, "Huh, it's such a cold day, it's so early, and it's outdoors. I'm afraid our instructor has something wrong with his brain!"
"If you can't bear it, you can go back first and come out again when it gets warmer!"
Deidara on the side raised his eyebrows and said this with a hint of extortion.
"Who says you can't stand it! I'm just talking about rationality, okay!"
Hear the words of Deidara.
Kurotsuchi immediately countered with an angry look.
" Your Highness, the pampered princess of the Tsuchikage family, I understand, I understand!"
"You are the one who is spoiled! Deidara!"
"Bang!"
"You just smacked your lips, right? You must have smacked your lips, right? I must teach you a lesson today, Hundan!"
"I'm not as knowledgeable as you."
"Huh!? I think you are scared, right? Humph~ That girl can't let you go!"
"What!? Who are you afraid of? Who is afraid? In the past, I only wanted to see the old man's face, so I didn't share your experience. Today I must let you truly experience my best art!"
"What kind of broken art can't be easily cracked by Itachi-san! This girl's Lava Release will beat you up in minutes!"
"How can it be repaired?"
The two people who met each other for less than three minutes would definitely start micing each other. Although Itachi had long been used to it, he still felt a little headache at this moment. It was as if these two people would always have an endless quarrel, and as soon as the mic was opened, they would really start to fight without anyone else intervening.
It should be said that this one is the close disciple of Tsuchikage, and the other is the granddaughter of Tsuchikage. They are very close to each other, and they can be called childhood sweethearts. However, they really have no adaptability at all. If one day we can see the two of them getting along harmoniously, that will be the most surprising thing!
"Haha! You can be so energetic on the first day. It seems that the following days will not be boring at all!"
And it was just when Itachi was planning to 'break up the fight'.
Not far away, a voice suddenly came from a place that made Itachi feel extremely familiar and hearty.
Subconsciously, they were Kurotsuchi and Deidara who stopped bickering.
It was also the powerful Chakra breath that was sensed at the same time!
"Whoosh!"
The next moment!
When a straight and slender figure appeared in front of the three people.
Not to mention Deidara and Kurotsuchi, at this moment, Itachi showed a very appropriate look of shock.
"Shōji-san!? Are you our team leader?"
Itachi's eyes were clearly widened, and there was a look of surprise on his face. He looked at the genius 'brother' of his family - Uchiha Shōji, who appeared at almost the right moment. No matter how calm Itachi was, he could not control the waves deep in his heart at this moment.
Itachi was like this, let alone Kurotsuchi and Deidara.
They never expected that their team's leader Jōnin would actually be Uchiha Shōji, the village hero who had just defeated Fourth Kazekage—Rasa head-on more than half a year ago and led his Ninja Village to victory in the Ninja War!
At this moment, even if he was extremely confident in his art and was as proud as Deidara, he subconsciously restrained his personality and became solemn at the same time as Kurotsuchi beside him.
"Well, this is Lord Tsuchikage's personal appointment. I will be the guide of your team, Squad One, Jōnin!"
Shōji looked calmly and glanced at Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi one by one.
"I won't mention my identity, Itachi. You two should also know Kurotsuchi and Deidara. However, I still want to introduce myself. My name is Uchiha Shōji. I like a lot of things, and I don't like things, so I can It is said that you are a person without self-awareness. In the next two or three years, I will serve as your team leader and guide you to perform various tasks. Under normal circumstances, I will not restrict you and will allow you to have a very independent and relaxed environment, but the premise is that you cannot disobey my orders!"
Not harsh words at all.
He was just speaking very calmly.
But as soon as they met Shōji's eyes, Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi all seemed to feel a strong sense of pressure coming towards their faces, making them feel suffocated for a moment.
"Yes!"
No need to think about it.
It's just an instinctive reaction.
The three of them all straightened their bodies simultaneously and responded loudly.
At this moment, Deidara must be extremely honest!
