The Rise of Onmyoji: The Path of Naruto

Chapter 31 The chess piece is abandoned

The two of them were walking on the road, as if they were taking a walk

Finally, Mizuki couldn't stand the silence anymore.

So, he opened his mouth: "Naruto, why didn't you come to take the assessment today?"

Naruto's body trembled slightly, but he just lowered his head and did not answer Mizuki's words.

Mizuki thought he had guessed the young man's thoughts, and was secretly happy in his heart. He kept his face silent and continued: "Haha. The teacher is not scolding you, just chatting. You can regard it as caring, yes. That's it."

Naruto lowered his head, and Mizuki couldn't see his expression, but he could see that the boy's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

This little kid experiences the disgusted looks of the villagers every day. There must be no one who has ever cared about him like this.

There was a slight hint of sympathy in Mizuki's heart, but he immediately nipped it in the bud.

Ridiculous, do I need to sympathize with him? He is a nine-tailed brat and it is natural for him to be hated by the villagers.

Thinking of this, Mizuki smiled slightly again: "If you want to talk about it again, just think of me as your good partner. Now there is no difference between teachers and students. Let's have a good chat with the teacher, haha."

Can't bear it anymore

I really can't stand it anymore

What does this guy want to do?

Don’t you know that your despicable acting skills are really terrible?

The long hair buried Naruto's delicate face, and the boy secretly smiled, his body trembling slightly.

But in Mizuki's eyes, these are all manifestations of the young man being moved by his "performance"

Okay, let's play with you.Let this guy experience the acting skills of countless social people in the 21st century that transcend this world.

Naruto raised his head with a "sad expression", pursed his lips, and said, "I just can't pass the exam anyway. I just didn't go. I don't want others to laugh at me anymore."

Whether it was from the bottom of his heart or perfunctory words, Naruto's voice rang in Mizuki's ears.

"In the past, I was playful and troublesome. People hated me and called me stupid, but I didn't care. But now this year, I have really worked hard to learn, but even the "Three Body Technique" that others think is not difficult, I I just can’t grasp it.”

"I understand what you mean." Nodding, Mizuki pretended to be analytical, "You mean you don't want others to see that you are still so useless after working hard, I mean you don't want others to see. Did you still fail the exam even though you studied so hard?”

Mizuki cursed himself secretly.

Almost told the truth

Then, Mizuki, who acted as a "mentor and friend", secretly glanced at the young man, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the young man didn't care about what he just said.

Naruto's slightly disappointed look fell into Mizuki's eyes.

Mizuki continued to "enlighten" the boy: "Don't blame your teacher Iruka. In fact, he is also very worried about you."

When Mizuki was about to say something more, Naruto's voice interrupted him.

The young man said bitterly: "He is not worried about me."

The young man shook his head, with a sad look on his face: "He clearly knows that I still can't learn the "Three Body Technique" after working hard for so long, but the school has to test this one.I know he is a head teacher"

Teacher Toutou

Mizuki secretly laughed and quickly corrected: "The director in charge of the overall learning level of the third grade."

"That's right." The more Naruto said, the more "sad" he became: "That's it, it's obvious what he meant by choosing this test question. He didn't consider my feelings at all. This kind of test can't be passed at all.

After the exam, he still came to ask me why I didn’t play tricks on others. This is basically the case.”

"No one in the village cares about me. I'm just an orphan. I already have no parents, so why do they still treat me like this?" Naruto shouted.

Hearing this, Mizuki nodded repeatedly in his heart.

Hate it, kid. The more you hate it, the more my plan will come true.

Naruto Office.

The third generation and the two advisors looked at the scene in the crystal ball with sullen faces, and they were all silent for a while.

Ordinarily, the Ninja School's exams had just ended, and the three of them should be more or less there to take a look.At this time, everyone is gathered here watching this through the third generation of "telescope technique", which is really confusing.

The third generation looked at the hateful expression of the young man in the crystal ball, and for some reason, his heart hurt.

The descendants of Hokage have so much resentment towards the village.

Do you blame the child for not loving the village or something else?

Mito Kadoyan didn't think so much. Looking at Mizuki's performance in the crystal ball, he frowned deeply.

"That's right, this person should be a chess piece left by Orochimaru in the village."

Hearing the three words "Orochimaru", the third generation's figure was obviously slightly shaken. After a moment, even his back looked a little rickety.

Both Koharu and Mito Menyan noticed this, but neither said anything.

There was a growl in the throat, and the third generation's slightly dry voice sounded: "The chess piece has been confirmed. I just don't know if it is an abandoned piece."

The room fell silent again.The three of them stared at the crystal ball in silence.

At this time, Naruto was already walking to the apartment building, but the boy still lowered his head and remained silent.

Mizuki was anxious. He had just had so much patience to chat with this brat. How could he let things slip at the critical moment?

Mizuki said anxiously: "Just think about it, this is your last chance to pass the exam. As long as you succeed, you can become a ninja like others. How can it be so difficult that you don't want to be a ninja?"

"Of course," Naruto immediately raised his head and stared into Mizuki's eyes and said loudly.

The jellyfish was very satisfied with the child's performance and continued to lie: "Every year, the school will select a student from the unsuccessful students and then assign him to complete a simple task. As long as he completes it, this child can also become a Ninja’s”

"Is this really the case?" The young man was a little moved.

"Of course" Mizuki nodded quickly.

"Then why is it me?" The young man asked another question innocently.

Mizuki wanted to vomit blood in his heart.

Why does this kid have so many questions? Can't you just agree to it?

Anyway, I have said so much, and I don’t care about these two sentences anymore.

Mizuki explained: "You see, this is your Iruka-sensei's problem. Not to mention choosing such a difficult test question, and not giving you this opportunity in the end. Fortunately, teacher, I am also one of the examiners for your genin graduation exam this year. So the teacher gives you this opportunity. You have to take advantage of it."

Nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, the boy nodded happily: "Okay, thank you very much, Teacher Mizuki. I will definitely complete the task tonight."

The young man puffed out his chest and his eyes glowed again, as if he saw some hope.

Waving his hands, Naruto ran into the apartment building.

Mizuki stood there, touching the sweat on his forehead, and his heart finally jumped from his throat back to his chest.

The kid finally agreed.

Turning around, Mizuki had a weird smile on his face.
