Looking at Kurotsuchi with a tearful expression.
Shōji laughed angrily and scolded, "Be gentle. On the battlefield, the enemy doesn't care whether you are a girl or a boy, or even an adult or a child. As long as you are an enemy, there are only two options: survival or death. Now you are no longer in the Ninja Academy, but a qualified Iwagakure Ninja. You must be clear about your identity and position!"
"That means we haven't reached the battlefield yet."
Kurotsuchi seemed a little unconvinced and murmured in a low voice. Although the volume was very low, everyone present was a ninja. Not to mention Shōji, Itachi and Deidara could all hear Kurotsuchi's words can only be said that after all, Kurotsuchi is only six years old. This little girl's character is indeed very normal. Compared with most of her peers, Kurotsuchi is already considered very outstanding!
Needless to say, the girls in Original Work and Konoha 12 are really incomparable at the age of Kurotsuchi.
At least from the perspective of Shōji, the plasticity of Kurotsuchi is greater than that of Sakura Haruno, Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, and Tenten.
"That's why I said, this is the first lesson. I want you to understand that you are now a ninja!"
As Shōji spoke, Hand Seals released the Earth Release technique that restrained Deidara and Itachi, and then continued, "I can give you a passing grade for your performance today. After all, it only takes five minutes to come up with such a tactic and come up with such coordination. It is pretty good."
"But! The intention is still too obvious! If you really want to follow through, you should let Kurotsuchi join in the initial attack from the beginning. Deidara's explosion smoke is used to cover Kurotsuchi's Earth Dragon Concealment Technique. It's too obvious. As long as Chunin is more experienced, you can see through your intentions!"
Shōji's words are not very harsh. Rather than being criticized, it is more appropriate to use comments. Many times, whether a performance is worthy of praise and recognition depends on who is executing it. Considering the age of the three little guys in front of me, such tactical execution ability and the personal strength displayed are already excellent!
That is to say, in order to prevent the three people, especially Kurotsuchi, from being too complacent, Shōji somewhat 'suppressed' the three people in his words. If we really talk about the matter, the strength and consciousness of Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi can really participate in Chunin Ninja Exams.
The three Itachis also listened to Shōji's teachings with a very serious expression at this moment. This was a performance of strength that easily suppressed the three of them without any effort. It was enough to conquer the three of them, including the most proud Deidara. When facing Shōji, they would not show any behavior.
Just like when he faced Third Tsuchikage Onoki, even though he seemed to be talking about an old man in private and didn't seem to care much, in fact, Deidara respected Ōnoki more than anyone else, including Original Work was deceived later, defected from Iwagakure, and joined Akatsuki. Deep down in his heart, Deidara still respected his mentor Ōnoki.
This is not only because Ōnoki is his teacher, but also because of Ōnoki's strength.
As the old saying goes, in the world of Shinobi World, the strong are respected, and strength is the most direct criterion for evaluating everything, and in many cases it is even the only criterion!
"Then do we pass your assessment? Shōji-san?"
Kurotsuchi opened his eyes wide and looked at Shōji with an expression of great expectation.
It seems that he hopes to hear words of recognition from Shōji's mouth.
Even Deidara's expression moved slightly, but Itachi remained calm and calm.
"Haha, it's just that your performance is considered qualified. You didn't pass the assessment. After all, we agreed at the beginning that it would count only when you meet Tachi behind me. I can only recognize your identity as a Iwagakure Ninja. You failed in the assessment itself, Kurotsuchi."
Shōji bent down slightly, patted Kurotsuchi's little head, and said with a smile.
"Tch! You are too stingy, Shōji-san, since everyone recognizes us, then just consider that we have passed the assessment. Anyway, it means we will have more autonomy in the future. In the end, it is not all you who have the final say."
It seems that because of the gradual familiarity, I realized that Shōji's personality is not as cold as before, but more approachable. Kurotsuchi's courage also became slightly bolder. Who is she after all? She is the direct granddaughter of Tsuchikage in the village.
This seems to be a natural way of getting closer to each other all of a sudden.
'This girl! '
Shōji shook his head in amusement deep in his heart.
However, Shōji really has no intention of dealing with the three of them coldly. There are certain standards for what kind of people you face and what kind of attitude you have. People who are close to you, strangers and even hostile people have completely different attitudes.
Itachi, Kurotsuchi, and Deidara.
But they are all existences that Shōji values very much. Shōji naturally has to treat them with a relatively peaceful attitude.
"Shōji-Sang, did you see through our intentions the first time?"
Compared with Kurotsuchi's "grievance" and Deidara's indifferent attitude, Itachi was seriously considering the action plan of the three of them. Originally, he thought that there would be at least a 20-30% chance of being able to touch the back of his "brother". After all, when Sharingan was not turned on, as long as the front attracted most of the attention.
Even the strongest ninja may still have a gap for a moment, not to mention that Kurotsuchi is not a conventional bypass, but uses Earth Dragon Concealment Technique in the Earth Release technique to sneak into the ground.
Unless they deliberately pay attention to the bottom at the beginning, it is difficult to react in an instant, and their intention is just to touch Shōji's Tachi. To put it bluntly, if they were given an extra second just now, In a short period of time, Kurotsuchi could touch Shōji's Tachi simultaneously before Shōji grabbed her arm. Even if it only touched her a little bit, the task was completed!
Itachi believed that since his 'brother' had set up such an assessment, he would definitely give them a chance to achieve their goals. If he and others failed, they must have done something wrong somewhere. After thinking about it, Itachi realized that there were almost no mistakes in the subsequent execution, so it could only be the beginning.
Itachi behaved like this.
It also attracted Shōji's approving eyes.
It is indeed one of the few Uchiha Clans that can activate Mangekyō Sharingan and use this power to the extreme.
To be fair, there are too many self-restraints and restrictions in Original Work.
If everything goes well for Itachi and he can get Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, it may not be another Madara!
This is Itachi's talent and talent!
