You Passed

After finishing a Sharingan "recorded broadcast," Uchiha Shingen waited for the three kids to come to their senses.

Uchiha Shingen showed them was a memory from the battlefield in Hidden Mist Village.

The battles between the Konoha Ninja and the Kirigakure Ninja were typical small-team battles, with both sides weaving through each other along the long border, sometimes involving multiple opponents against one, and sometimes one against multiple opponents.

The most tragic fate among those who were caught in the crossfire was that of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

They were incredibly cool during their early stages, but their fate became bleak after encountering Might Duy.

However, this is an extreme example of warfare.

In Uchiha Shingen's "recorded broadcast," it is the front-line battle between the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan against the Mist Ninja.

That was the first time the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan fought together. The two marginal ninja clans were thrown into the Hidden Mist Village battlefield by the village, which was theoretically very unsuitable for them, by the village, which was short of troops.

Then they unleashed a devastating attack, with two ninja clans leading a bunch of weaklings to rout the Mist Ninja army's front lines.

Uchiha Shingen chose some cases that he thought were relatively easy to understand.

The three little ones may not be able to fully absorb it now, but it will be enough to deal with the Hannya Group.

The elite of the Hannya Group were wiped out by Uchiha Shingen back then, and the group now acting as ronin is even weaker than those before.

There was nothing we could do; we'd lost our reserve of Ninjutsu.

To see the Buddha off to the Western Paradise, and to have future Ashura and Indra escort them on their journey, is to do them the right thing.

Suddenly, Black Zetsu slipped out from under Uchiha Shingen's disguise, landed on the ground, and wriggled back into human form.

"You've figured it out, and you're not going to hide anymore?" Uchiha Shingen asked.

The three little ones were still immersed in the Genjutsu; their learning was not yet over.

Black Zetsu ignored them and simply circled around Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke a few times.

"What are you looking at?" Uchiha Shingen wasn't worried about Black Zetsu suddenly making a move.

If there's one thing Black Zetsu is really reliable about, it's that if it promises not to do bad things, it definitely won't do them in person.

Unlike Uchiha Shingen, who could do exactly what he promised the moment he did it.

"It's nothing," Black Zetsu said, then walked back to his original spot, appearing to be thinking.

"How inexplicable..." Uchiha Shingen muttered.

After a while, Uchiha Sasuke the first to finish the lesson and leave the Genjutsu.

Within the Genjutsu, he saw how the Uchiha Clan ninjas of yesteryear cooperated with their teammates to maximize the effectiveness of their clan's Ninjutsu.

Some of these elements are based on school curriculum, but many more are things that cannot be taught in schools.

It is the tacit understanding and reaction ability that gradually formed after surviving countless bloody battles.

However, it still taught Uchiha Sasuke a lot. He was so happy that he was about to ask his powerful older brother Shingen for praise when he looked up and saw a dark face.

"A ghost!!!"

Uchiha Sasuke was so scared he wet himself and stabbed the target with a Kunai.

Then he was caught between two fingers by Uchiha Shingen, who was standing next to him.

Black Zetsu didn't move an inch; it was completely unaffected by the Kunai.

It was quite satisfied with Uchiha Sasuke's reaction.

That's right, he is indeed the reincarnation of Indra, and he didn't turn out badly.

So it stopped looking at Uchiha Sasuke and instead looked expectantly at Naruto Uzumaki.

"Brother Shingen?" Uchiha Sasuke stared blankly at Uchiha Shingen, his Kunai stopped. "Who is he?"

"Don't be afraid, this is your Uncle Hei." Uchiha Shingen smiled and said, "He's a good friend I met outside, and he just happened to be passing by."

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Black Zetsu again.

He thought this uncle was really quite dark-skinned...

On the other side, it wasn't Naruto Uzumaki who woke up first, but Hinata Hyuga.

Upon seeing Black Zetsu, her reaction wasn't much better than Uchiha Sasuke's, but while she didn't pull out Kunai, she still made a defensive move.

Before Uchiha Shingen could speak, Uchiha Sasuke spoke first.

"Don't be afraid, Hinata, this is our Uncle Kuro!"

His smug look made it seem as if he were Black Zetsu's father.

Black Zetsu, who was waiting to see Naruto Uzumaki's reaction, couldn't help but turn around and take another look at Uchiha Sasuke.

Seeing the brat's smug expression, Black Zetsu was puzzled.

It glanced at Uchiha Shingen, conveying a clear message—is this kid out of his mind?

I was just about to stab him with Kunai, and now I'm calling him "Uncle Black"?

Putting aside the question of whether they're related by blood or not, are all the people trained by Uchiha Shingen this despicable?

Uchiha Shingen understood, but pretended not to.

After a while, Naruto Uzumaki also withdrew from the Genjutsu. The chubby-faced kid had clearly gained a lot from the tug-of-war, and he habitually gave a thumbs up.

In other words, Black Zetsu doesn't have a nose, otherwise a thumb could have easily poked it into its nose.

Naruto Uzumaki's eyes widened.

"Teacher, there's a pot here!" he shouted first, then realized something was wrong, because Black Zetsu was staring at him.

Naruto Uzumaki: "???"

Black Zetsu's eyes are just two white dots in deep black, nothing special.

But Naruto Uzumaki just felt that this thing was a pair of eyes.

"A ghost!!!"

He shouted insincerely, and at the same time, he poked two fingers into Black Zetsu's eyes.

This time, Black Zetsu hid.

It tilted its head slightly.

Although Indra was a bit crooked, at least he moved the Kunai.

But this Ashura is probably not a fake.

It had never encountered an Ashura, upon meeting it, would gouge out its eyes without saying a word.

"Huh?" Seeing that Black Zetsu had dodged his "long-planned" sneak attack, Naruto Uzumaki spirit was ignited, but before he could come again, Uchiha Shingen had already patted him on the head. The familiar touch made him behave.

"Always making a fuss," Uchiha Shingen criticized. "What do you mean by 'pot'? You have no manners! He's just a little dark-skinned, how can you call him a pot? This is my friend, call him Uncle Black."

Black Zetsu: "..."

Screw you, Black uncle! These two kids are his future enemies, okay?!

"Hot pot... no, hello Uncle Black, my name is Naruto Uzumaki."

"..." Black Zetsu remained silent for a long time. "You're bolder than your companions."

Naruto Uzumaki showed a shy expression, as if he had been praised.

Black Zetsu: "???"

Is it praising this thing?

It was clearly speaking in a very evil tone, okay?

Yes, it's definitely Ashura.

Looking at the tightly hidden Chakra within the other's body, Black Zetsu pondered how to extract some of the hidden Chakra of the Hagoromo son from the two children's bodies.

Whether Uchiha Shingen agrees or not, just stuff it in, and he'll naturally find it delicious.

Black Zetsu imprinted the images of the two boys before him in his mind. Without saying much, he turned to Uchiha Shingen and said, "You know where to find me," before disappearing into the ground.

"This uncle is so cold," Naruto Uzumaki said. "He's not friendly at all."

"You weren't exactly being polite either." Uchiha Shingen compared the Naruto Uzumaki in front of him to the one from the original timeline, and had to admit that Naruto Uzumaki's personality truly lacked any sense of "fear."

Wild by nature.

"Judging from your performance just now, you've been learning quite well, so let's begin." Uchiha Shingen gathered the three little ones together, had them hold hands, then placed his hand on Uchiha Sasuke's shoulder and activated the Flying Thunder God.

The next moment, the scene before them changed abruptly, and what came into view was a village with smoke rising from it and ruins scattered everywhere.

A group of Hannya Group ninjas were walking out of the village entrance when they came face to face with the group.

Chapter Sixteen passed.

When the two sides met, everyone except Uchiha Shingen was taken aback.

The Hannya Group, still seething with murderous intent after their latest massacre of the village, were suddenly confronted by four people and three little devils.

Looking at the Hannya Group still carried an aura of killing intent, the three members of Team 7 were reminded of the first scene they experienced in the illusion.

That was when the Leaf Village ninja army had just entered the Hidden Mist Village battlefield.

The ninjas from the Bloody Mist Village, having already learned of Leaf Village's insufficient military strength, consisting mostly of rookies, smugly gathered together, intending to crush Leaf Village's incompetent reinforcements in one battle and enter the Land of Land of Fire's mainland.

To motivate the new recruits behind them, the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan ninjas did not implement any tactical arrangements and instead launched a full-scale attack from the start, facing off against the Mist Ninja Vanguard, which outnumbered them several times over.

Nearly two thousand Mist Ninja were repeatedly swept through the ranks Hyuga Clan less than three hundred Uchiha Clan allied forces, their heads kicked around like balls. After the battle, every single one of them was covered in blood. The Hyuga ninja, who were usually so particular about their elegant Hyuga Clan, all looked like they were possessed by demons, not to mention the Uchiha Clan with their Red Eye.

From then on, the new recruits of Leaf Village no longer feared the "Bloody Mist Village".

They felt that they themselves were much more terrifying.

Compared to the Mist Ninja in the illusion, the murderous aura of the Hannya Group is so weak it's barely worthy of being used as an ingredient.

Not to mention the other side's atrocities in slaughtering the villagers, which also made the three children, bursting with a sense of justice, extremely indignant.

Without even needing Uchiha Shingen's prompting, the three formed the standard battlefield formation of Konoha Ninja and charged forward.

Naruto Uzumaki naturally rushed to the front.

Genjutsu: Sharingan is a Genjutsu that can still be used even at the Mangekyō Sharingan stage. Apart from Mangekyo Sharingan Dōjutsu, it is the visual Genjutsu that best brings out the Sharingan Genjutsu.

The most distinctive feature of this Genjutsu is its immersive realism.

Uchiha Shingen combined the Sharingan's "recording" ability with this Genjutsu, making the three children almost experience everything in the illusion as if they had actually done so.

At least for the part they can understand, it has this effect.

Seeing that the three little devils had taken the initiative to provoke them, the group of Hannya Group who had already reached the village entrance felt challenged.

In today's Ninja World, there are few who don't know the name Uchiha Shingen, but not everyone can recognize Uchiha Shingen at a glance.

These Hannya Group belong to the latter group.

Although they were baffled by the sudden appearance of their opponents, it didn't stop them from believing they could easily deal with three genin fresh Genin of school.

No uniform, just Forehead Protector —what else could this be but Genin out of school?

Very bad.

The only one worth noting is the Konoha Ninja in uniform standing nearby.

A portion of the Hannya Group approached the Team 7.

The thought of how they could easily slaughter the young talents of Leaf Village filled them with excited smiles.

The repeated massacres of the village have robbed them of the humanity they should have.

Then they saw a barrage of fireballs shooting out of the mouth of a dark-haired child.

A look of disdain appeared on the face of one of the Hannya Group.

To be able to use such Fire Release at such a young age, Leaf Village truly is a cradle of geniuses.

Is there anything more satisfying than killing Leaf Village's genius?

The Hannya Group spat out a water bullet, aiming it at the opponent's fireball.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Uchiha Sasuke moved his fingers, and the fireballs in the air changed direction one by one, narrowly missing the water bullets.

"Naruto!"
