The sky was clear and sunny.
A gentle breeze blew across the field, ruffling the surface of the lake. Occasionally, a fish would pop out of the water, hoping to eat the flying insects.
In the center of the lake pavilion, Aizen and Yuko were sitting quietly with a smile on their faces.
They looked at the field with great interest.
The children stood still on the field.
The ghost wearing a ghost mask, who had never shown his true face, stood in front of them. His eyes were cold.
The battle was about to begin.
Xiao Nan's hands instantly formed a seal!
She no longer looked as weak as before, and her blue hair danced in the air.
While she was rushing forward, several paper Kunai suddenly appeared in her slender fingers. With a wave of her hands, she threw them at the ghost!
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Along with the sound of air being pierced, the paper Kunai were almost in front of the ghost!
Facing this attack, the ghost did not panic.
His body suddenly moved, and with a strange movement, he passed through the gaps between the paper Kunai.
And without stopping, he rushed towards Xiao Nan!
Seeing the ghost easily dodging her hidden weapons and rushing towards her, Xiao Nan's eyes slightly narrowed.
At this time!
"Bang!"
Along with a loud noise, Yahiko's body suddenly rushed towards the ghost from the side like a cannonball.
The ghost's eyes darkened.
His rough hand quickly reached for his waist.
"Whoosh!"
A dazzling sword light suddenly cut through the air!
The sharp sword light was like a crescent moon, and the sword energy plowed a few feet deep mark on the ground. It was very frightening.
This casual attack also successfully stopped Yahiko's attack, forcing him to stop.
In the lake pavilion, Aizen saw this scene, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
"He can actually use sword energy?
The ghost seems to have some samurai moves left behind. "
Hearing this, Yuko knelt beside him and obediently whispered.
"The ghost is a retainer that father once recruited from the Land of Iron. He has been living in my house since he was young. I'm familiar with him, and he didn't like my brother, so he followed me."
Aizen did not say anything, and gently picked up the teacup and took another sip.
Yuko obediently continued to pour tea for him.
On the field.
The experienced Yuki did not stop after blocking Yahiko's attack, instead, he sped up and rushed towards Konan.
This made Xiao Nan's face a little nervous, and her delicate hands once again formed a seal.
However, at this time.
"Water Release: Water Wave!"
With a calm voice, several water waves suddenly from behind Xiao Nan rushed towards the ghost.
"Nagato!"
Xiao Nan turned her head.
She saw Nagato standing behind her, calmly releasing Ninjutsu.
Facing the torrential water blades, the Ghost General swung his long and narrow katana in front of him!
"Kaboom!" "Kaboom!" "Kaboom!"
On the ground, several boulders were lifted by the ghost and blocked in front of him.
The huge water blades slammed into the boulders, and the hard boulders were smashed into pieces, and the water blades were broken into pieces and splashed on the ground.
At this time!
The ghost's eyes were slightly cold.
Because Yahiko had already reached his side.
"Wood Leaf. Whirlwind!"
Yahiko's body suddenly turned in the air, and a powerful kick landed on the ghost's body.
"Boom!"
The ghost lifted his Katana, but it could only block the kick.
His body was suddenly kicked into the distance, and the huge force caused him to let out a muffled groan.
"Good strength!"
Hearing his words, Yahiko grinned.
"After all, I've been working hard!"
However, the ghost sneered.
His hands instantly formed a seal!
Seeing this scene, Nagato, who was about to make hand seals, quickly shouted.
"Be careful!
Yahiko! "
Just when Yahiko was puzzled, the Katana that was deeply embedded in the ground suddenly emitted a blazing light!
"Ninjutsu: Iron Plough Explosion!"
As the ghost's voice fell, the Katana suddenly exploded!
Countless high-temperature blades and iron shards exploded in all directions, as if they were going to destroy everything in the surroundings!
"Kaboom!" "Kaboom!" "Kaboom!"
Countless red iron blades were like exploding shells, crazily smashing all around, and in an instant, the ground was full of holes, and smoke and dust filled the air!
Nagato and Xiao Nan looked at this scene in horror, and in the next moment, their minds were full of panic!
"Yahiko!!"
Nagato and Xiao Nan hurriedly shouted one after another, their eyes were full of disbelief!
At that moment, Nagato's eyes were wide open, and full of circles, there seemed to be a strange fluctuation rippling out!
The rest of the people present didn't notice this subtle fluctuation.
Only Aizen, who was in the pavilion, felt something. His eyes flashed as he looked at Nagato, and a smile appeared on his face.
"It's just a test, why do you have to be so ruthless!"
On the field, Nagato suddenly turned his head to look at the ghost, a pair of strange Rinnegan eyes stared at the ghost, and his voice was filled with grief and indignation.
Xiao Nan's eyes were a little red, and her little face was angry as she stared at the ghost.
Hearing Nagato's words, the ghost said in a deep voice.
"Are you treating the Ninja profession as a child's play!?"
"No matter the situation, when facing the enemy, you must maintain the most basic vigilance!"
"In my opinion, your so-called one year of progress is just a joke. Without the experience of killing, you are just a group of children playing around. In the face of a real ninja, as long as I give up my life, I can kill all of you!"
Hearing the ghost's words, the angry Xiao Nan and Nagato slightly choked, and they were speechless.
At this time.
From the pavilion by the lake came a shout that was filled with lingering fear.
"Nagato, Xiao Nan, I'm fine!"
Hearing this voice, Nagato and Xiao Nan were slightly surprised, and they quickly turned their heads to look at the lake pavilion, except for Aizen and Miss Tamako who were smiling.
Yahiko was standing there, covered in dust, waving and shouting at them.
Seeing Yahiko alive and well, Nagato and Xiao Nan were relieved, and the anger on their faces immediately turned into surprise.
Yahiko looked at Aizen with some awe, and just as he was about to speak, Aizen gently nodded.
With Aizen's signal, he quickly rushed to the two.
He came in front of the two and said with some shame.
"I'm sorry, I made you two worry!"
Hearing his words, Nagato gently patted him on the shoulder, and said with a somewhat happy voice.
"It's good that you're fine."
Speaking of this, he showed a hint of doubt and asked.
"What the hell happened, you were clearly covered by the explosion, how could …"
Hearing his words, Yahiko said with some lingering fear.
"I don't know either … When the flames engulfed me, I thought I was going to die for sure …"
Speaking of this, he slightly swallowed his saliva.
Xiao Nan and Nagato also felt the terrible situation at that time, and they couldn't help but show a worried expression.
Yahiko continued to say.
"But, in the next moment … I appeared next to Aizen -san …"
Nagato and Xiao Nan continued to look at him, waiting for him to continue.
Yahiko looked at them, blinked his big eyes, and hurriedly said.
"No, no, that's it, I suddenly appeared next to Aizen -san, and then came to find you!"
Hearing his words, Nagato and Xiao Nan looked at each other, and then they were puzzled.
"You mean … Aizen -san saved you …"
Yahiko nodded.
Both Nagato and Konan felt incredulous, obviously … from so far away …
At this time.
Yahiko turned to look at Oniki, although his face was covered in dust, he said firmly.
"Next time, I will defeat you with my own hands!
Oniki! "
Hearing his words, Oniki slightly glanced at him, then moved his eyes to Nagato, who was standing next to him, and was silent, and didn't say anything.
At this time.
"Pata!" "Pata!" "Pata!"
Light and slow footsteps were heard.
Aizen and Tamako walked to the field together, with a gentle smile on their faces, glanced at the three children, and whispered.
"Your performance … has somewhat disappointed me …"
Hearing this, the three children looked at each other, and then lowered their heads in shame.
The idea of challenging Aizen was thrown to the back of their mind, especially Yahiko, who wanted to find a hole to hide in, and his face was extremely red.
Aizen didn't say anything, and just whispered.
"In the future, continue to work hard, I have great expectations for you."
After that, he slowly left with Tamako.
Leaving the three children behind, they didn't know what to do.
Xiao Nan was a little depressed, and thought to herself.
Is Aizen -san disappointed in me …? Is it because Xiao Nan is too much of a failure …?
Nagato's eyes were also a little depressed, Aizen's words made him a little discouraged.
Am I being looked down upon by Aizen -sama …? Obviously … I haven't … Maybe I'm too weak …?
As for Yahiko, looking at the depressed mood of his two companions, he blamed himself even more, and thought to himself.
I must become even stronger!
I must prove myself to Aizen -san!
Aizen and Tamako were walking in the hallway of Daimyo House.
Aizen's mouth curved into a smile, and those deep eyes of his seemed to be thinking about something.
Tamako quietly observed Aizen's expression, and at this time, she couldn't help but ask softly.
"You're not disappointed in those children, are you? Why do you say that? Because those children might be very disappointed in your words."
Hearing Tamako's words, Aizen chuckled.
"Arrogance will destroy a person, immersed in oppression all the time, it is possible to fully explore one's potential."
Speaking of this, he thought of something, and his eyes slightly dimmed, and then disappeared in an instant.
Aizen continued.
"Those children are good seeds, so I need to see them bear fruit that I'm satisfied with."
He glanced behind him and said softly.
"You've done well, devil."
"Soon, I will give you the gift that I promised before, I hope you can get it."
As his voice fell, there was a soft sound of kneeling behind him.
Tamako didn't pay attention to it, and still followed Aizen closely.
The two continued to move forward.
However, Aizen's mouth slightly curved into a playful smile, and his eyes flashed.
Anger or sadness?
That fleeting fluctuation of power … Is it the Rinnegan … How interesting …
