My clan was exterminated when I was three years old, and you want me to beat Uchiha Itachi? Chapter 108

〖Fifth Year〗

Considering that after entering Konoha, you would lose the massive buffs from your title due to leaving the desert region, you decided to seal a Tailed Beast within yourself to compensate for this power gap.

You spent a fortune to acquire all of the Uzumaki clan’s sealing jutsu资料 from the ninja cat clan.

Besides continuously strengthening your own power, you also put a lot of effort into the team entering Takigakure.

First, you utilized the perception ninja team you personally trained to establish an intelligence network, confirming the most likely candidate to become the leading jonin in Takigakure. Then, you determined the timing of their outings, using your Sharingan to hypnotize them, combined with threats and inducements, successfully brainwashing the target to serve you.

Through a series of operations, this person’s identity as the leading jonin was completely confirmed.

Finally, you had this person kill a genin who resembled you.

In this way, you stealthily infiltrated Takigakure’s genin team.

And, relying on the jonin you manipulated as your background, you overcame all objections and became one of the genin chosen to go to Konoha for the Chunin Exams.

After requesting leave from Onoki, you stayed in Takigakure for a long time. Firstly, to familiarize yourself with the environment, and secondly, to thoroughly establish your persona of maintaining a certain distance from other ninjas and concealing your strength through private lessons.

During this period, you completely learned the Four Symbols Seal and the Five Elements Seal, fully mastering the means to counter Tailed Beasts. Coupled with your somewhat unconventional Three-Tomoe Sharingan, you had a good chance of directly controlling the Nine-Tails!

Although Takigakure also possessed numerous treasures such as the “Hero Water” and the “Seven-Tails Chomei,” with the Chunin Exams approaching, Konoha’s resources were more abundant. You were unwilling to engage in a battle with a suspected perfect Seven-Tails Jinchuriki at this time, risking a greater loss for a smaller gain.

However, you did manage to obtain one of Kakuzu’s ninjutsu, “Earth Release: Earth Spear,” through your manipulated leading jonin. By studying its essence, you enhanced the defensive capabilities of your Lava Release.

You also utilized Takigakure’s geographical features, with its many rivers and lakes, to replace the natural energy attached to your body surface with Water Release, practicing some basic Water Release ninjutsu.

Water Release and Wind Release, combined with powerful Nin-Taijutsu, were the combat abilities you configured for yourself as a genin.

With this disguise, it could be said that you, with your Sharingan closed, were two completely unrelated individuals compared to the one in Iwagakure!

〖Sixth Year〗

A year passed in a flash. After you had arranged everything, less than a month remained until the Chunin Exams. Takigakure, being relatively far from Konoha, had also assembled its team, preparing to cross mountains and valleys to reach the examination venue.

Before departing, you summoned Boss Black Cat as usual, only to find that its fur had turned much whiter.

You couldn’t help but sigh at the passage of time, even Boss Black Cat, who had accompanied you on this irreversible path from the very beginning, was aging so easily…

“You’re the one who’s old! I’m the boss! cough cough This cat only turned white because I stayed in a hot place, meow!”

You never imagined that Boss Black Cat, who was originally as black as a lump of charcoal, would turn out to be a Siamese cat.

But it was good that it turned white; at least it looked completely different from before, making it harder for anyone to recognize it…

Along the way, the leading jonin, with the idea of giving the participating genin some early combat experience, conveniently accepted a few missions to clear out mountain bandits.

However, the target for training did not include you. The result was that the other five struggled desperately to defeat their opponents and complete the mission, only to see you leisurely resting in the carriage.

Especially the two who were assigned to the same squad as you, their resentment grew even deeper.

Although you had long since moved past the desire to compete, let alone such childish games that held no interest for you,

But to successfully achieve your goal, you decided to show them a little something.

So,

In the next mission, before anyone else could act, you, sitting in the carriage, simply scattered a handful of shuriken haphazardly.

Then, forming a single-hand seal, the shuriken in mid-air spontaneously formed circular wind blades.

Closing your eyes, relying solely on the perception ability brought by the ninja cat clan’s senjutsu, and the control over chakra in your bloodline, you manipulated the Wind Release-infused shuriken to change their trajectory.

The invisible Wind Release was the sharpest blade, instantly slaying all mission targets!

Because Danzo’s “Wind Release: Shuriken” was low-cost and high-damage, proving to be very useful, you recreated it through Iwagakure’s collection and collected relevant intelligence.

You also made significant improvements, only requiring chakra to be injected beforehand and then thrown, allowing the wind blades to be activated at any time with a hand seal.

Compared to the original, it shortened the casting delay and enhanced concealment and flexibility!

After this single battle, no ninja in the team dared to show any disrespect towards you…

Before entering Konoha, you used the ninja cat clan’s senjutsu to cover your body with natural energy, completely masking your enormous chakra.

You also covered your eyes with a white cloth, disguising yourself as a non-visual perception ninja. This was also a simple way to train your use of the ninja cat clan’s perception abilities during low-intensity activities like the Chunin Exams.

When passing through Konoha’s inspection, a Hyuga branch family ninja appeared before you.

As the Byakugan scanned, you suddenly felt a sense of being seen through. Fortunately, although the ninja cat clan’s senjutsu was slightly rudimentary, it achieved near perfection in terms of concealment.

Your hidden massive chakra was not detected by the other party.

However, if this guy were a main family member with extremely pure Byakugan, it might be a different story…

This made you subtly feel a hint of unease. At the same time, you set your sights on Gekko Hayate. Your ocular jutsu could devour blood, or more accurately, bloodlines.

And Gekko Hayate’s Hiding in Mist Technique was also a Kekkei Genkai. Although it seemed very impractical, as even a slight movement could reveal it,

You felt that this was due to Gekko Hayate’s lack of raw strength. In a battle between experts, a momentary oversight often determined the outcome.

Moreover, this Kekkei Genkai could provide both visual and chakra invisibility!

In your hands, even a one-second duration could achieve a surprising and decisive effect!

Upon entering Konoha, although you kept your eyes covered, simply by walking on the streets with your senjutsu perception, you could feel an lingering sense of desolation.

Although six years had passed since the Uchiha Clan Massacre, both the pedestrians on the streets and the ninjas seemed to be in a hurry, as if they harbored some unspeakable worries.

From the distant wind, you faintly heard the sounds of Naruto and Gaara quarreling over Konohamaru. You couldn’t help but lament the inertia of fate…

Soon, the first written test of the Chunin Exams began. You removed your blindfold and simply surveyed the examination room:

Many Konoha ninjas had more or less burn marks on their bodies. Even if Tsunade had returned earlier, she couldn’t completely heal them…

You felt a sense of pleasure. These were all your achievements and masterpieces from six years ago!

After finishing the effortlessly easy written exam questions, you flicked out a few moderately forceful Wind Release attacks at the two guys on your team, as a hint to help them finish the multiple-choice questions and raise their scores above passing.

Then, you watched the hot-headed Naruto yell ridiculous words like:

“Don’t underestimate me,” “never give up,” “courage,” “bonds,” “Hokage,” at Ibiki, who seemed to be severely burned and had to cosplay as the Second Tsuchikage, as he sat in the pre-arranged trap.

The first examination thus ended hastily like a farce…
