"When I was in the hospital before, four Otogakure ninjas found me."
Sasuke Uchiha said calmly, "They told me about something called Cursed Seal."
It is indeed different from the original work.
If he can take the initiative to confess, it means that he has no intention of defecting.
"I saw them just this morning."
Shihui Aburame smiled and said.
Sasuke Uchiha was slightly startled, but after thinking about it carefully, it makes perfect sense.
Shihui Aburame is stronger than him.
If Orochimaru wants to win over a genius ninja, there is no reason to miss him.
"What do you think?"
Shihui Aburame looked at him and asked.
"No idea."
Sasuke Uchiha shook his head and said, "Although Cursed Seal can become stronger, there must be a heavy price."
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Shihui Aburame is a little surprised.
This is a long time coming.
"If there was no price, Otogakure would have surpassed the five major villages long ago."
Sasuke Uchiha paused and said, "And Orochimaru does not use Cursed Seal."
"Not bad, very smart."
Shihui Aburame nodded slightly.
"I've always been smart."
Sasuke Uchiha glanced at him and said.
The original version of you is not like this.
"Don't worry about this matter, my teacher will take care of it."
Shihui Aburame thought for a while and said.
"Hmm."
Sasuke Uchiha hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Naruto will he become stronger when he comes back from practice?"
"Are you worried that you can't beat him?"
Shihui Aburame asked rhetorically.
"..."
Sasuke Uchiha Silence.
Although he didn't want to admit it, it was indeed the case.
Just like Chunin Ninja Exams this time, he thought that after learning Hatake Sakumo's swordsmanship, he could easily win the championship, but he fell in the first round.
Because Naruto Uzumaki has made greater progress.
As for Shihui Aburame, although Sasuke Uchiha did not compete with him, he has heard the story of his defeat of One-Tail Shukaku.
In the end, Team 7, he is the best.
This made the proud man intolerable.
"Don't worry."
Shihui Aburame said consolingly, "When you reach the level of Naruto, it's not that easy to make further progress."
In the original work, after three years of training, Naruto Uzumaki can barely use Nine-Tails Chakra.
To truly control yourself and become Perfect Jinchuriki, you have to wait until the Turtle Island trial.
In Shihui Aburame's view, the most important thing in the past three years is that Naruto Uzumaki has made up for the basic shortcomings.
On the contrary, Sasuke Uchiha has made great progress over Orochimaru.
As soon as he came on the scene, he defeated the newly formed Team 7, and later defeated Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi. It can be called cheating.
Although there is a lot of moisture in Brother War.
"I remember you said that Konoha had research on Mangekyō Sharingan."
Sasuke Uchiha suddenly thought of something and asked, "Can you take a look at it?"
"It doesn't make sense now."
Shihui Aburame waved his hand and said, "We'll see when you reach Three-Tomoe Sharingan."
Same answer as before.
Sasuke Uchiha saw this and didn't say anything else.
He believes that Shihui Aburame will not harm him.
"As for your pupil problem, it's not impossible to solve."
Shihui Aburame suddenly showed a smile.
"Really?"
Sasuke Uchiha was shocked and couldn't wait to ask.
"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry."
Shihui Aburame said calmly, "Your top priority now is still to learn swordsmanship."
"..."
Sasuke Uchiha hesitated to speak, and finally nodded.
He has only learned Hatake Sakumo swordsmanship for a month. In fact, he is just getting started and has not yet mastered it.
"I'll go back to practice."
Sasuke Uchiha took a deep breath, and Body Flicker Technique disappeared.
Shihui Aburame turned around and went home.
The idea he mentioned is actually the same as Ido before.
Because pupil power is also a manifestation of Yin Release.
Find another Yin Release monster, maybe it will be useful.
For example, Zero-Tails from Kongyin Village, Box of Ultimate Bliss from Kusagakure, or Moryo from Land of Demons.
Shihui Aburame will definitely make a trip in order to earn achievements.
Then bring Sasuke Uchiha for a test.
If you become the best, if you don't succeed, leave it to Uchiha Itachi to find a solution.
Night falls.
Tsunade and Shizune got off work and returned home.
They opened the door and saw Shihui Aburame practicing.
They have long been accustomed to such scenes.
"Little devil."
Tsunade stepped forward and shouted.
"Teacher, welcome home."
Shihui Aburame opened his eyes.
"Jiraiya has left Konoha with Naruto."
Tsunade sat opposite him and crossed his legs.
"So fast?"
Shihui Aburame was a little surprised.
"Jiraiya can never stay still."
Tsunade snorted lightly and said, "I've been thinking about finding that Child of Prophecy all day long."
"Do you think there is a possibility that Naruto is Child of Prophecy?"
Shihui Aburame blinked and asked.
"Naruto?"
Tsunade pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I think you are more like."
According to Jiraiya, Child of Prophecy can bring peace to Shinobi World.
Either he has invincible strength, or he has amazing wisdom, or both.
Although Naruto Uzumaki's strength is good, even with the addition of Kyuubi, he cannot be truly invincible.
In terms of invincibility, it has to be Hashirama Senju back then.
As for wisdom, does Naruto Uzumaki really have it?
And Shihui Aburame has many wonderful ideas.
"Me?"
Shihui Aburame laughed and said, "You think highly of me."
"You are my student!"
Tsunade crossed his arms and said, "I don't believe that Child of Prophecy is better than you."
"Child of Prophecy's teacher is uncle Jiraiya."
Shihui Aburame said bluntly, "It is impossible for me to be his student."
"Why?"
Tsunade asked with some curiosity, "Except for Medical Ninjutsu, Jiraiya's strength is greater than mine."
"Because I am loyal to my teacher."
Shihui Aburame put his fist on his heart and said.
"..."
If it were before, Tsunade would be very happy.
But now, I always feel that there is something wrong with him. He talks about being loyal, but actually he has evil intentions.
"Don't talk about this."
Tsunade changed the topic, "Naruto doesn't know when he will be back, so Team 7 needs a temporary team member."
Shihui Aburame suddenly thought of Karin.
It's a good fit for her to join.
"Do you have anyone chosen?"
Tsunade paused and said, "If not, I will assign one to you."
That is Shihui Aburame.
If it had been anyone else, Tsunade wouldn't have bothered to ask for advice and would have specified it directly.
Just like in the original work, Sasuke Uchiha ran away and Sai joined Team 7.
"I'll think about it."
Shihui Aburame said thoughtfully, "I don't have any candidates for the time being."
"Don't put it off too late."
Tsunade nodded.
"Hmm."
Shihui Aburame has actually made a decision.
That is Karin.
But you have to create an opportunity.
"By the way, there's one more thing."
Tsuna Teuchi snapped his fingers and said, "Joint Chunin Ninja Exams will continue to be held in one month."
"Continue?"
Shihui Aburame was a little surprised.
In the original work, after Hiruzen Sarutobi died, Chunin Ninja Exams was forced to cancel and did not continue.
"What? You still want to be Genin?" ˆ ˆ ˆ Tsunade rolled his eyes at him and said, "You should thank me, otherwise it won't be held."
So that's it.
Shihui Aburame's face showed surprise.
Is it because of him?
Tsunade is indeed a sharp-tongued person.
"Actually, it's pretty good to be Genin."
Shihui Aburame said seriously.
Konoha Genin, that is an honorary title.
"With your strength, you are enough for a jounin."
Tsunade suddenly raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "If you don't participate, then I will win the gamble between you and me."
"I'm participating!"
Shihui Aburame dare not let Tsunade win.
This is too scary.
No one knows what will happen.
"They say they are Joint Chunin Ninja Exams, but in fact they are all ninjas from Konoha."
Tsunade explained, "Gaara and Temari clearly no longer participate. Zaku is Genin of Otogakure, and they will never come again."
Shihui Aburame can also understand.
Sunagakure is now as confusing as Konoha.
Fourth Kazekage Rasa died, leaving the group without a leader.
Although in the original work Gaara became Fifth Kazekage, it will never be that easy in reality.
Because he is too young.
And he is Jinchūriki.
In the eyes of many ninjas, Jinchūriki means instability.
In short, Gaara and Temari are busy.
"What should I do with Naruto?"
Shihui Aburame asked.
"Practice is more important."
Tsunade thought for a while and said, "Let Sasuke participate in his place."
With the strength of Sasuke Uchiha, it is more than enough to be Chunin.
He just has bad luck.
Now things have turned around and we have entered the Easter match.
"Before that, there is one more thing to deal with."
Shihui Aburame said in a deep voice, "Orochimaru did not give up. He sent four Cursed Seal ninjas to find me and Sasuke."
"The haunting guy!"
Tsunade has a tic-tac-toe on his forehead.
Orochimaru Killing Hiruzen Sarutobi has touched her bottom line.
Now she still has a crush on Shihui Aburame, which really makes her want to kill her.
"Where are they?"
Tsunade clenched his fists.
"I still have the same idea as before."
Shihui Aburame stated his plan, but added a little more details.
That is, he pretended to defect and seduced more Otogakure ninjas to show up, but he was actually Kimimaro.
In addition, he also wanted to try whether this could trigger achievements.
He thinks it's very possible.
"You are so boring."
Tsunade is a little speechless.
There is obviously a better way, but I just chose this one.
Judging from Shihui Aburame's eager expression, he definitely did it on purpose.
"Whatever you want."
Tsunade After thinking for a while, he agreed.
Her students do have the power to do whatever they want.
"I will let Shikamaru lead the team to find you when the time comes."
Tsunade paused and said, "But secretly Yamato and the others will be sent to follow and protect you."
"No problem."
Shihui Aburame praised, "Teacher is always so thoughtful."
"I am Hokage after all."
Tsunade said angrily, "It's not like I can't even do such a small thing."
A new day.
Shihui Aburame pretended to be Hokage in Hokage's office in the morning, and came to the Uchiha Clan in the afternoon.
He thought for a day and finally decided to let Uchiha Mikoto help fake the experiences of Chiho Ri and Karin.
The Great Ninja clan is very convenient at times like this.
He also thought about finding Hyuga Hiashi, but he had a better relationship with Uchiha Mikoto.
And Hyuga Clan, in fact, doesn't really need him.
Whether or not he exists will not affect their status.
But the current Uchiha Clan does not work.
Uchiha Mikoto will definitely be willing to help him keep his secret.
Uchiha Clan's residence.
Shihui Aburame said hello as he walked.
His frequent visits over the past five years, coupled with his identity, allowed him to successfully infiltrate Uchiha Clan.
In the distance, Shihui Aburame heard the sound of swords clashing.
When he got closer, he found that Sasuke Uchiha and Uchiha Mikoto were fighting.
Neither of them used Ninjutsu.
Shihui Aburame looked at it for a while and found that Uchiha Mikoto was at a disadvantage.
If it weren't for Three-Tomoe Sharingan, she would have been defeated long ago.
Hatake Sakumo's swordsmanship is truly extraordinary.
It makes sense if you think about it carefully.
This Konoha White Fang was able to achieve great fame in Shinobi World because of this swordsmanship.
He doesn't have Kekkei Genkai or Tailed Beast.
"Okay, stop, Sasuke."
Uchiha Mikoto stepped back, distanced himself, and praised without hesitation, "Your swordsmanship has surpassed that of mom."
Her face was full of smile and she was obviously very happy.
Sasuke Uchiha nodded slightly.
He wasn't surprised.
Uchiha Mikoto has only learned Uchiha Style Swordsmanship, so it is normal that you cannot beat him.
"What's the matter?"
Sasuke Uchiha put away the Thunder Fire Sword and looked at Shihui Aburame.
"I'm looking for your mother."
Shihui Aburame shook his head and said.
Sasuke Uchiha was slightly startled, but didn't say anything.
"Looking for me?"
Uchiha Mikoto was stunned for a moment and then said, "Then let's go into the house and talk."
"Okay."
Shihui Aburame followed her into the living room.
Sasuke Uchiha was not interested in what they were talking about and continued to practice swordsmanship in the courtyard with the Thunder Fire Sword.
"Would you like lemonade?"
Uchiha Mikoto opened the refrigerator and asked softly.
"Okay."
Shihui Aburame sat on the sofa.
"Shiki, what do you want from me?"
Uchiha Mikoto handed him the lemonade and asked.
"Do me a favor."
Shihui Aburame talked about Chiho Ri and Karin.
It's actually very simple.
I asked Uchiha Mikoto to arrange a mission for the clan members, and found them in a certain town in Land of Fire.
Shihui Aburame Individual strength alone cannot achieve perfection.
But Uchiha Clan will do.
"No problem."
Uchiha Mikoto agreed immediately without hesitation.
"Thank you Auntie Mikoto."
Shihui Aburame finished drinking the lemonade, chatted with her for a few more words, then turned and left.
Three days later.
Uchiha Mikoto handed a mission report to Tsunade.
"Suspected to be a member of the Uzumaki Clan clan?"
After Tsunade read it, his interest was immediately aroused and he asked, "Where are they now?"
"They're right outside the door."
Uchiha Mikoto said with a normal expression.
"Let them in."
Tsunade stood up immediately and said.
"Yes."
Uchiha Mikoto walked to the door and opened it.
When that familiar yet unfamiliar long red hair came into view, Tsunade couldn't help but feel in a trance.
She has a deep connection with the Uzumaki Clan.
Because Hashirama Senju's wife is Mito Uzumaki from the Uzumaki Clan.
After that, the wife of the second generation Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze was also Kushina Uzumaki of the Uzumaki Clan.
"Are you willing to join Konoha?"
After Tsunade confirmed that they contained a huge amount of Chakra, he asked without hesitation.
Two in one.
