In the field.
Faced with No. 369's constant provocation, Lin Ze finally spoke:
"No. 369, let me say it one last time, please enter Tower. I don't want to fight with you."
No. 369 laughed loudly:
"What, are you scared? With your courage, you are worthy of being admitted to ANBU? Let me tell you, today you can either surrender and get out, or I will beat you until you can't get up!"
Lin Ze sighed lightly. He originally wanted to avoid unnecessary fighting, but it seemed impossible now.
He always seeks stability, but stability is never timid!
The other party has already spoken for this reason. If he continues to refuse to fight, he will not only be looked down upon by others, but may even affect his future development in ANBU.
And now Lin Ze has entered Hiruzen Sarutobi's sight. As long as Devil Fruit Powers is not exposed, the stronger he behaves, the more he will be valued and the safer he will be.
You must know that Lin Ze is only seven years old now, which shows that he has higher potential.
In the final analysis, whether it is ANBU or this world, it all depends on strength.
"I didn't want to cause trouble." Lin Ze's eyes turned cold, he slowly assumed a fighting posture, and his voice gradually became louder, "But since you insist on fighting, then I will accompany you to the end!"
When No. 369 saw this, the corner of his mouth under the mask raised a proud smile.
The reason why he provoked Lin Ze was quite different from what several ANBU instructors had guessed:
His true character is not as arrogant and arrogant as he appears - that's just a disguise.
After all, in Ninja's rule of survival, the knife in the dark is sharper, and a character that is too straightforward can easily expose flaws.
The reason why he is so provocative to Lin Ze is because of his Identity: Uchiha Clan.
There are indeed some Uchiha people in ANBU at the moment. They are all hand-selected and trained by Kagami Uchiha, a disciple of Second Hokage Tobirama Senju. This group of people is the prototype of the "dove faction" of Konoha in the Uchiha Clan.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Kagami Uchiha died in battle during the Second Shinobi World War period, and was unable to continue to guide the relationship between the tribe and Konoha.
Although these tribesmen selected by Kagami Uchiha have a better character among Uchiha, they have not been able to completely get rid of the stigma of the tribe after all, and No. 369 is one of them.
After all, people like Kagami Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha are sober and calm in the whole Uchiha Clan. It is not an exaggeration to say that No. 369 and others are "short generals."
Therefore, they still have a common Uchiha Clan problem: the pride hidden in their bones always makes them take "ethnic honor" too seriously, and even if they know that some persistence may not be rational, it is difficult to let go of that obsession easily!
No. 369 has heard about Lin Ze and Ryota Uchiha for a long time.
Although he and the two brothers Ryota Uchiha were not very close, they were always from the same family. Ryota Uchiha was beaten violently by Lin Ze in the Ninja Academy assessment field, which ultimately damaged Uchiha's face.
Now that he had such an opportunity to regain his face, he naturally didn't want to let it go.
"Very good, you finally have some backbone." No. 369 sneered, "Let me see how much you, a genius recruited by Hokage, weighs!"
Then he stopped talking nonsense, quickly Hand Seals with both hands, and started with a Great Fireball.
"Fire Release·Great Fireball Technique!"
A huge fireball erupted from No. 369's mouth and headed straight for Lin Ze.
Looking at the fireball coming towards him, Lin Ze immediately judged that the power of this fireball was extraordinary. He did not dare to catch it hard and quickly dodged to the right. At the same time, he judged:
'The scale of this Great Fireball and the volume of Chakra are exactly what I guessed, it is definitely the Special Jōnin level!'
Boom!!
The fireball flew past Lin Ze's body, and the scorching air waves made his skin feel hot. The place where he originally stood had been burned to black.
"The speed is pretty good, kid." No. 369 sneered, "But how many times can you dodge it?"
Before he finished speaking, No. 369 Hand Seals again.
"Wind Release·Great Breakthrough!"
A strong wind blew out of No. 369's mouth and combined with the remnants of the fireball that had not completely dissipated to form a sea of fire, completely blocking Lin Ze's retreat.
'Compound Ninjutsu?'
Lin Ze was shocked. He didn't expect that this No. 369 could combine Ninjutsu with different attributes so skillfully.
Facing the spreading sea of fire, Lin Ze had to retreat, but he soon discovered that No. 369 had already calculated his retreat, and several Shuriken flew in from different angles, blocking all possible dodge directions for him.
The sea of fire blocks the road and Shuriken blocks movement. This forces Lin Ze to carry it or jump to dodge. If he jumps, he will become a living target!
Lin Ze faced multiple attacks, but was extremely calm and made a decision in an instant.
Instead of retreating or jumping up, he rushed forward, straight into the sea of fire!
"Is he crazy?" In the observation room, Instructor Leopard stood up in surprise.
However, the next moment, everyone was stunned.
The moment Lin Ze approached the sea of fire, he suddenly changed direction and quickly passed by the edge of the sea of fire. At the same time, his eyes quickly moved to accurately determine the trajectory of Shuriken, evading all attacks with a hair's breadth.
"What a precise body control!" A hint of appreciation flashed in Instructor Ying's eyes, "It's not easy to maintain such a calm judgment in that situation."
No. 369 was also slightly surprised, but quickly regained his composure. "It's a bit interesting. But it's not enough!"
His hands Hand Seals again.
"Earth Release·Earth-Style Wall!"
A wall of earth suddenly rose in front of Lin Ze, blocking his path.
At the same time, No. 369 had already attacked from the side, and there was an extra Kunai in his hand.
"It's over, kid!" No. 369 shouted.
Lin Ze was calm in the face of danger. He had already guessed No. 369's intention when the earth wall appeared. He changed direction instantly. Not only did he not slow down, but he used his strength to step on the earth wall, spinning his body in the air, just in time to avoid No. 369's surprise attack.
"What?" No. 369 was surprised. He didn't expect Lin Ze to react so quickly.
After Lin Ze landed, he quickly distanced himself from No. 369 and quickly analyzed in his mind:
'He has many types of Ninjutsu. Fire Release, Wind Release, and Earth Release are all very skilled. He also has good tactical coordination and is not the type who only acts recklessly.'
'Looks like we need to take the initiative to attack.'
After Lin Ze roughly figured out No. 369's ability, he made up his mind not to defend passively, but quickly rushed towards No. 369. Taijutsu fully launched an active attack, bringing the battle mode to a field he was familiar with.
'Third Gate·Gate of Life, open!'
Green energy surrounded Lin Ze's body, and his speed and strength increased instantly. Almost instantly, he was in front of No. 369, and punched the opponent directly in the door.
No. 369 obviously didn't expect that Lin Ze's speed would suddenly increase so much, and he could only raise his hand to block in a hurry.
Bang!!
No. 369 was knocked back a few steps and felt numbness in his arms.
"What a powerful force! Are you seven years old?" No. 369 was shocked.
Lin Ze was unyielding and launched attacks continuously. His Taijutsu was sharp and precise. Every move went straight to the vital point, forcing No. 369 to retreat continuously.
"Damn it!" No. 369 cursed secretly and quickly Hand Seals.
"Fire Release·Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"
Multiple small fireballs erupted from No. 369's mouth and flew towards Lin Ze from different directions.
Lin Ze took his time and moved quickly, shuttling between the fireballs. Occasionally there were those that he couldn't completely avoid, so he would use his skill to push them away. Although the temperature of the fireballs was not low, the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon he had eaten gave him considerable fire resistance.
Seeing that Phoenix Flower Jutsu was ineffective, No. 369 changed tactics again. While retreating to distance himself from Lin Ze, he threw Shuriken and Kunai in an attempt to restrict Lin Ze's movements.
But all this is useless. This level of attack cannot limit Lin Ze that turns on "Gate of Life".
However, just when Lin Ze quickly dodged all Shuriken, No. 369 suddenly Hand Seals.
"Wind Release·Gale Palm!"
A strong wind suddenly appeared, changing the flight trajectory of Shuriken. Shuriken, which had already escaped, flew towards Lin Ze again from an incredible angle!
"What?"
Lin Ze was startled and hurriedly changed direction to dodge, but he was still a step too slow. A Shuriken cut his arm and brought out a string of blood beads.
'Composite tactics!' Lin Ze felt awe-struck in his heart, 'He has planned all this a long time ago!'
No. 369 pretended to smile and said, "How about it, kid? My tactics are beyond your imagination!"
Lin Ze took a look at the wound on his arm. It was not deep and it would not take long for him to recover.
But this time, he also completely understood that No. 369 was more dangerous than he expected.
