Naruto's Endless Pretense

In the end, Sasuke's solo visit to the Hyuga family ended without incident.

From this day on, word gradually spread from the Hyuga family in Konoha: The Uchiha clan is about to rise.

At first people thought this was just a rumor, after all, Sasuke was the only one left in Uchiha.But this was soon confirmed to be the consensus of the Hyuga clan chiefs and elders.Being recognized by the largest clan in Konoha with such a low profile made more people interested in the descendant of Uchiha named Uchiha Sasuke.

The high-ranking ninjas and families in the village were curious about what Sasuke did to the Hyuga clan that day, so that the Hyuga clan, which had always been at odds with Uchiha, would obviously show friendliness towards him.Sasuke's visit to Hinata's house was not hidden, and everyone could know it, but what happened that day was probably only known to the two parties involved.Because Hinata is a loyal fan of the Hokage line, maybe the third generation and Tsunade will also know.

This time, the conversation between Sasuke and Hizu can be said to have basically achieved its goal.He eliminated the hostility of the Hyuga clan towards him and won the respect of the Hyuga clan. In the future, he no longer had to worry about being able to crack the hidden dangers caused by the caged bird.Most importantly, he successfully lifted Neji's Caged Bird Curse Seal.

"I hope to inherit my father's will and protect the clan, Miss Hinata, and Miss Hanabi."

"In order to protect them, I want stronger power."

Hizu's persistence, Sasuke's persuasion and Neji's own will finally convinced everyone.The elders allowed Sasuke to remove Neji's curse seal and promised not to engrave the curse seal again, and gave Neji the inheritance and treatment of the clan.Just ask that this matter not be leaked.

Sasuke was happy to be able to help Neji, and he believed that his actions could change his tragic fate to a certain extent.Not just because the caged bird can have unsealed Byakugan.

Just like what Sandai said, where the leaves are flying, the fire is endless.The fire will continue to illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout.When a ninja has an important person, he will have power that is usually unimaginable.

Ningji inherited his father's legacy and was determined to protect his family.Sasuke believes that he will have greater talent and strength than before.

Even if Neji doesn't have enough power to change his fate at that time, Sasuke believes that he will have the strength to change it.Not just Neji, but the fate of the entire shinobi world.

※※※

Late at night two days later, in the forest outside Konoha Village, all members of Team [-] were taking a nap around a campfire.

It was a beautiful moonlit night.Under the illumination of the moon, the dark woods gained a glimmer of light. Wisps of soft moonlight caressed the faces of the leaves, penetrating the moonlight into the woods. Wisps of silvery white light made the woods more beautiful.

But none of the three people except Sasuke had any interest in enjoying this peaceful and peaceful scenery.

"Sasuke-sama, do you know why you brought us to this remote place?" Sakon asked cautiously.

Ever since he was violently subdued by Sasuke and lifted the curse that day, Sakon had an indescribable feeling of fear towards Sasuke.In front of Sasuke, all his usual arrogance disappeared without a trace.In comparison, Tayuya is much more natural, perhaps because Sasuke is gentler in his approach to her.

"Are we going to discuss the combat plan for the first mission?" Tayuya guessed.

Although Sasuke didn't mention it, Tayuya still remembered that their class's first mission was about to be carried out in a few days. A-level missions are not difficult for her. She has even completed S-level missions once.But for some reason, following Sasuke on missions in the new group still made her feel a little nervous.

"Well, it has something to do with it."

Sasuke sat on a branch and kept playing with a trident kunai. Suddenly he stuck a kunai in a tree in the distance with a wave of his hand.Xianglin also trembled, pulled out a kunai and stared in that direction.

"There's someone hiding there."

The bloodline of the Uzumaki clan is indeed powerful, and at this age and strength, they have a perception that exceeds that of Tayuya and Sakon.I really don’t know how far I will be able to reach after I learn the Kagura Heart Eye, which is comparable to the Byakugan.

"Well done, Xianglin."

Sasuke praised Xianglin and made a contemptuous gesture towards the distance.

"What a shame. Have you lost all the concealment techniques and silent killing techniques you practiced in the Kirigakure Assassination Force? How could you be discovered by an ordinary genin?"

"No way, weren't you just a genin when you approached me without me noticing?"

The slightly hoarse voice sounded eerie in the dark environment, and the three of them were completely nervous.Suddenly, a figure appeared from behind Xiang Lin, and a large knife as tall as a man was placed in front of Xiang Lin's neck.The strong murderous aura made Xianglin's legs feel weak.

"Besides, I don't have to use my full strength, right?"

Faced with a sudden appearance and hostage

The teammates' enemies, Sakon and Tayuya, both had red cloud patterns on their faces, entering the first state of the curse seal.

"With this broadsword, you must be Zabuza, Kirigakure's rebel ninja. What is your purpose here!"

Sakon was sizing up each other's strengths, thinking about how to deal with this seemingly powerful enemy while ensuring Xiang Rin's safety.But Sasuke jumped down from the branch and stopped him.

"Don't be impulsive, he is why we are here."

After Zabuza saw Sasuke coming down, he lost interest in teasing the three of them.He put the big knife on his back again, walked to the stone next to the bonfire and sat down.

"Kid, are these your men? They don't look good."

"Asshole, what did you say?" Sakon wanted to get angry, but looked at Sasuke standing in front and hesitated for a while before giving up.

"I didn't expect that in just half a year, any brat who could be led by others would become the captain." Zabuza sat with his sword straight, as if he didn't take anyone else seriously.

"Tell me, what is your purpose for secretly meeting me, a traitorous ninja of Kirigakure?"

Sasuke did not answer but walked up to Zabuza.Zabuza is tall. At 1.8 meters tall, he is almost as tall as Sasuke even when he is sitting down, and his aura is not diminished.

"Where's Bai?"

"I won't let that kid get into danger until I figure out the situation. He's too kind. Returning your favor last time was just a special case. Don't think I'll let you get close to him."

The relationship between Zabuza and Sasuke is actually very strange and complicated.They were enemies and had life-and-death duels because of their missions.But this is nothing to a ninja, not to mention that Sasuke also saved the lives of Zabuza and Shiro.But Zabuza was a very proud man, and he was not willing to owe Sasuke any favors. Later, he specially sent Haku to Sasuke's Thunder Sword and Teeth.

So when he sees Sasuke, he won't be as kind and kind as Shiro, but his words will be thorny.There seems to be a mentality of "it's not bad even if I can't beat you and make you suffer".Sasuke was the same, a little unhappy with Zabuza's arrogant attitude even after losing.

"Do you know this person? The first mission of my class is to protect her. It is an A-level mission. I hope you can help me in secret."

Taking the ninja card that flew from Sasuke, Zabuza carefully looked at the woman in ancient costume on it.

"Fuji Kazue, I think she's a pretty famous actress. Is she the one who starred in "The Adventures of the Princess?"

"That's right, it's her. I didn't expect ghost people to watch movies."

"Oh, I'm watching with Shiro." Zabuza waved his hand helplessly. "But with your strength, do you still need our help? It's just an A-level escort mission."

"I just have a bad feeling and need to be more prepared. This mission is in the Land of Snow, where Shiro's abilities should come in handy." Sasuke said coldly.

The A-level mission that Class No. 11 received this time was the first theatrical version of the original work, Yuki Ji Ninpo Tie.To be honest, Sasuke believed that Sakon and Tayuya could probably handle such a task even if he didn't take action.But just when the third generation issued this task, the system also issued a prompt.

"Ding! Story mission: Ensure Fenghua Xiaoxue's survival and help Fenghua Xiaoxue become a famous name."

"On the road to the restoration of the dynasty, there will be many difficulties and bloodshed. It is the lifelong wish of a ninja to serve a lord like Princess Fengyun. Let's do our best to protect the princess and build a new snow country!"

"Task reward: The duration of the dimensional dojo is fixed. Failure penalty: Possession by a declining god within three years. Time limit: three months. The clock starts!"

With his previous experiences, Sasuke already knew that the system's plot missions would not appear for no reason, let alone be so simple as to give him benefits.This trip to the Land of Snow is bound to have unexpected surprises that I don't know about.Sasuke didn't dare to take the risk of being possessed by a degenerate god, so he naturally found as much help as he could find.

Otherwise, with Sasuke's black face, it is not impossible that Akatsuki would kill him due to various accidents before Akatsuki takes action three years later.In short, this plot mission is different from the last mission that Sasuke gave up on his own initiative. He must complete it no matter what the cost.

"And you won't do it in vain. I know your ideal. As long as you are willing to help me, I can provide you with a large sum of money. I heard that you are willing to be hired by anyone who pays a high price to carry out assassinations. I want to protect you. You should be able to do the job, right?"

Even if he has fighting power like Shiro and Zabuza, he must try his best to fight for it.

Zabuza thought for a while and said three words.

"2000."

"make a deal!"

After taking a deep look at Sasuke, Zabuza snorted and disappeared into the night with a sudden burst of mist.

The first-hand arrangement is completed.
