Konoha's Itachi Reappearance

Chapter 361 The Beginning of the Test
356 chapter

"The Pommel Horse Clan..."

Of course, Itachi couldn't have heard the name Kurama Yakumo, but he knew the surname Kurama.

The Kurama clan is an ancient family that joined the village since the establishment of Konoha.

This family has a long history.

Just like most of the ninja families in the village, the members of the Kurama family have a special ability, that is, they are good at using illusion.

In the blood of this clan, there is an illusion-type blood inheritance boundary, but because there are fewer clan members who can inherit it, it gradually declines.

"Is it because of this reason that Izumi was appointed as the Jonin mentor of this group?"

Although Quan is young, he has become the village's Jonin a few years ago, and now he has opened the Sangouyu Sharingan.

Sharingan already possesses a strong illusion ability, and although Izumi is not best at illusion, her mentor during the ninja period was also the illusion master Yuhi Zhenhong.

Also, Itachi also taught Izumi's illusion.

In terms of illusion, Quan can also be regarded as one of the best masters in Konoha.

According to Sasuke, Kurama Yakumo doesn't seem to be a student of the ninja school...

Although she is concerned about Izumi's affairs, Itachi also believes in Izumi's ability. Since Hokage can let her be the ninja mentor for those children, she can handle everything by herself.

When he came back to his senses, Itachi looked at Sasuke and said, "I hope you pass the test tomorrow."

"Well, brother, don't worry, I'm absolutely fine."

Sasuke said confidently, not only because he was at the top of all the graduates, but most importantly, he would never allow himself to fail.

In that case, the dream he talked about today is just empty words.

Itachi looked at Sasuke with a smile, but said nothing.

He doesn't doubt Sasuke's own ability, but the focus of the test that these graduates will face tomorrow is not to test their strength as a ninja.

But it is the most important thing for a ninja.

The next day, early in the morning.

The training ground of the Uchiha clan.

Naruto arrived at the place early, but when he entered the training ground, he found that there was a thin figure standing under the shade of a tree. Even if she was waiting for someone, her movements were well-behaved, and she seemed to have been waiting a long time.

Hinata also noticed Naruto immediately, and she walked out from the shade of the tree to meet him.

"Naruto-kun, good morning."

The girl greeted Naruto with a weak voice.

Naruto raised his arms generously and said with a smile, "Well, Hinata, good morning."

"Have you been here for a long time?" he added.

Hinata shook her head, and replied, "I only came ten minutes earlier than Naruto-kun."

"Oh."

Naruto clasped his hands, lifted them up and hugged them behind his head, and nodded.

The boy and the girl just stood side by side, waiting for the others to arrive.

Hinata was still standing there with regular movements, while Naruto seemed more casual.

A few minutes later, Hinata suddenly turned her eyes cautiously to the side, secretly watching the boy beside her.

The morning sun was bright but not dazzling.

The sun poured down on the boy's blond hair and brightened his cheeks at the same time.

Hinata's eyes couldn't help being attracted to him. Although the boy's side face was not as handsome as it used to be, it was extremely clean, especially the pair of jewel-like clear blue eyes.

There is an extreme gentleness in these eyes.

Slowly, after a long time, Hinata's immature face crept up a trace of blush.

And Naruto next to him didn't notice it at all. He lowered his eyes at this moment, thinking about how he should deal with the upcoming test.

"Sai, you're here."

Until Sai's figure also appeared in the training ground, Naruto greeted him with a voice.

This voice woke up Hinata, and she looked away immediately like a frightened deer.

But the blushing on that little face couldn't be completely faded for a while.

"Ah."

Sai nodded slightly towards Naruto and Hinata.

After the three gathered together, a figure immediately appeared in front of them.

Itachi had actually come to the training ground a long time ago. He keenly observed the difference in the expressions of Naruto and Hinata standing together. In order not to startle Hinata, he waited by the side.

"You all arrived very early." Itachi chuckled lightly.

After the three Naruto noticed Itachi one after another, they reacted differently.

"Teacher Itachi."

Hinata bowed to Itachi very politely, Saii was indifferent, nothing changed much.

And Naruto's emotions rose instantly, he stared at Itachi with burning eyes: "Brother Itachi, let's start now."

With that said, he was ready to fight.

Seeing this, Itachi said, "Naruto, you are too impatient."

"Before the test starts, I need to briefly describe to you the rules of this test."

"What rules are there? It's so troublesome."

Naruto's face immediately showed embarrassment. What he is most and least good at is dealing with theoretical rules and other things.

Itachi smiled, and took out two strings of bells from the ninja bag behind him.

"The content of today's test is actually very simple. If you use all means to snatch these two strings of bells from me, the person who gets the bells will be able to successfully become a Genin."

Naruto was the worst at listening to these things, but Hinata and Sai immediately noticed the problem in the rules, so their faces changed suddenly.

The expression on Itachi's face immediately became serious, and he said, "I only have two strings of bells in my hands, that is to say, among the three of you, only two of you can pass the test at most."

"Those who don't grab the bell will of course lose their qualifications and have to go back to the ninja school and wait for the chance to take the exam again next year."

After Itachi fully explained, Naruto should understand no matter how poor his comprehension is, immediately his expression changed suddenly, and he said angrily: "What kind of rule is this!"

"The rules are like this, if it is unacceptable, it will also be considered unqualified."

Itachi still maintained a dignified appearance.

Naruto was about to say something, but at this moment, Sai, who was always indifferent beside him, said, "I think, for now, the question that should be considered is not who among the three of us can pass the test."

"Rather, how to snatch the bell from his hand first."

Saii received special training for roots for a period of time when he was a child.

At this moment, Itachi, although standing there calmly, made him feel an indescribable pressure.

"Oh, yes."

Hinata also echoed, and the expression on her little face became more serious.

Naruto couldn't refute Sai's words, indeed, what they should consider now is how to snatch the bell from Itachi's hand.

So, he also immediately became serious.

The eyes of the three of them focused on Itachi's body, the small body slowly tightened.

Looking at Naruto, Hinata, and Sai, Itachi said calmly.

"Then now, the test begins!"
