Even a strong person like Orochi Maru is interested in this secret technique, if Hyōjin says that he is not interested, then he will undoubtedly be deceiving himself, so he said bluntly: "What do you need me to do for you?"
Orochi Maru said: "What do you think of Itachi Uchiha?"
Hyōjin replied without hesitation: "Unlike many so-called geniuses, he is a real genius! Maybe in three to five years, he can grow to the point where no one can catch up with him. "
Taking out a scroll from his arms and throwing it to Hyōjin, Orochi Maru said: "Help me pay more attention to him, I am very interested in this Uchiha."
After saying that, Orochi Maru's figure disappeared into the shadows as if he had never appeared.
Holding the secret technique scroll that Orochi Maru threw over, Hyōjin thought in his heart: "Is it Itachi's Sharingan or Itachi's body that Orochi Maru covets?"
There is no doubt about Itachi's excellence, even Hokage-sama has praised him in public, it's just that Kuroto isn't sure what Orochimaru meant by 'pay more attention'.
Returning to the camp, Hyōjin found that Itachi was writing and drawing in a small notebook that he carried with him, so he asked casually: "What are you writing?"
Itachi replied seriously: "I am recording the mission log."
According to the rules of the village, the ninjas who perform the mission must record the mission log. When returning to the village to hand over the mission, the mission log will be kept as a file and sealed in the archives of the mission center.
But rules are rules, in fact, there are very few ninjas who are willing to record the mission log in detail.
Most ninjas like Hyōjin simply narrate the process of the mission when handing over the mission, and then the staff of the mission center will record it on the spot and finally store it in the archives.
Hyōjin said with emotion: "Itachi, you are the most meticulous and serious ninja I have ever seen so far. Although you are young, you are meticulous in everything you do."
Closing the notebook, Itachi replied, "I just want to learn more from Senior."
Hyōjin shook his head and smiled, not saying anything more.
After that, the return journey was very smooth. Unlike the dawdling journey, Hyōjin and Itachi, who traveled at full speed like a ninja, only took a week to return to the village.
After submitting the mission log to the mission center, the mission center immediately raised the difficulty level of the mission from B to A!
As for the reason, it is because this mission involves the Cloud Village, which is also one of the five great shinobi villages along with the Muye Village, and the other party also dispatched the Jinchuriki Yugito and his team of guards.
Jinchuriki can often be regarded as the strongest combat power in a shinobi village apart from the Kage, and they are the pillar of a shinobi village. Therefore, if a shinobi encounters such a troublesome character in a mission and can successfully complete the mission, according to the usual practice, the mission center will increase the mission evaluation by one level.
Of course, the bounty issued to Hyōjin and Itachi is still the standard of a B-level mission, but the two of them have an additional A-level mission completion record on their resumes.
Completing an A-level mission is very rare for Chunin, not to mention Itachi who has not yet graduated, so Itachi was very happy when he walked out of the mission center.
Looking at Itachi's smiling face, Hyōjin sighed with emotion: "Only now do I really look like a child."
At this time, Itachi bowed deeply to Hyōjin and said sincerely: "Kuroto-San, thank you for your guidance, I learned a lot in this mission, you are a real Muye ninja!"
Hyōjin smiled and said: "I don't remember what I taught you."
Itachi replied: "You are indeed not a talkative person, but you taught me a lot with your actions, especially when I encountered the Jinchuriki of Nibi, you let me understand the persistence that a Muye ninja should have!"
Hyōjin was startled when he heard this, and immediately asked: "Don't you think I was embarrassed at that time?"
Itachi shook his head.
Hyōjin raised the corner of his mouth: "Then do you know why I can remain calm in the face of the humiliation of Kumo Shinobi?"
Itachi thought about it very seriously for a while, and tentatively replied: "Because anger will interfere with judgment, so ninjas should not be angry?"
"No …" Waving his hand, Hyōjin smiled mysteriously: "It's because when I think about Itachi Uchiha who suffered with me, my mood suddenly becomes much better!"
Itachi only thought that Hyōjin was joking with him, so he chatted for a while and then left.
Looking at Itachi's leaving figure, Hyōjin sighed softly.
It has to be said that the Uchiha Clan is indeed a different species. They are too easy to go to extremes. They are as narrow-minded as Obsidian, who wants to destroy the world for a secret love. Itachi, who loves universal love, is willing to kill his parents and relatives with his own hands in order to avoid suffering.
If it's just extreme thinking, it's fine, there are many such people in the world.
But the Uchiha Clan is different, the more extreme they are, the stronger their pupil power, and once they evolve into Mangekyou Sharingan, these people will have both the motivation and the strength to put their extreme ideas into practice and realize them.
Just thinking about it makes me shudder.
Naruto's office.
Three Generations Naruto's Sarutobi was smoking a pipe and looking at the documents in his hand.
Suddenly, Three Generations asked Naruto's assistant next to him: "Did the Uchiha Clan's kid just completed an A-level mission?"
Because the village has launched a comprehensive monitoring of the Uchiha Clan, Itachi had just completed the mission, and the documents were sent to Naruto's office.
The assistant replied: "Yes, it was originally a B-level mission, but the mission involved the Cloud Village, and the other party also dispatched the Nibi's Jinchuriki, so the mission center raised the mission evaluation from B-level to A-level."
Three Generations looked through the mission record and said: "Is this Hyōjin related to Orochi Maru?"
The assistant replied: "Yes, during the war, Orochi Maru arranged for him from the front line to the field hospital through his own connections, and he served as a hospital guard for a period of time. He doesn't know how to use medical ninjutsu, but he is proficient in wound dressing, and he has a good reputation in the medical class. Except for his close relationship with Orochi Maru, there is no other stain on his record. "
Three Generations took out Hyōjin's personal file again, glanced at it, and then frowned: "Has he been cleansed?"
The assistant replied: "Yes, the Root has carried out a cleansing on him, but due to the encounter with an unidentified wandering ninja, the cleansing operation failed, and the accompanying Root ninja, Naruichi Mitsui, died."
The frown on Sandaime's face deepened, "An unidentified wandering ninja? Can you confirm it? "
The assistant replied: "There is also news from the Sand Crypsis that their assassination team responsible for the cleansing operation was also completely destroyed, but the information they sent is a bit vague, it seems that they know who the murderer is, but they don't want to tell us, so the intelligence team analyzed that the so-called wandering ninja is probably a traitorous ninja of the Sand Crypsis."
The frown on Sandaime-Sama's face relaxed, "Since we can confirm that it wasn't Kuroto who did it, then let's observe him for a while, and if there are no abnormalities, we can cross him off the purge list!"
With the defection of Orochi Maru, followed by the chaos of the Nine Tails, the village has lost three Kage-class combatants, Orochi Maru, Four Generations' Naruto, and Nine Tails's Jinchuriki, as well as a large number of ninjas, which can be said to be a great loss.
And according to the information sent back by the spies lurking in several other major ninja villages, these ninja villages seem to be plotting something after learning that Muye has suffered heavy losses.
