Chapter 8 The Lesser of Two Evils
After opening the Sharingan, even if it was just one magatama, it was enough for Uchiha Shisui to improve all aspects of himself, including chakra, in addition to his insight.
Magatama rotates.
When Uchiha Shisui locked onto Naraku with his improved insight, he immediately used his best illusion.
In an instant, on the opposite side, Naraku seemed to be hit, his eyes became distracted, and his body became stiff.
"Success!"
Naraku's abnormal phenomenon fell into Uchiha Shisui's eyes, and he was immediately happy, and then he turned around and ran decisively.
That's right.
Uchiha Shisui did not choose to counterattack Naraku, but chose to run away.
"Really smart!"
Just as Uchiha Shisui turned around and ran away, Naraku, who seemed to have been hit by an illusion, suddenly regained his focus.
He looked at Uchiha Shisui's back and was amazed in his heart.
The other party's choice to run away was the right choice.
The Sharingan does have a blessing in casting illusions.
But Uchiha Shisui is at best close to the level of Chunin. Even with the blessing of Sharingan, using illusion against a Chunin can only play a certain role of restraint.
If you choose to attack, the hope of winning in the end is only 30% at most.
On the contrary, running away is different.
What is going on now is not a real fight, but an assessment.
The rules of the assessment do not require Uchiha Shisui to defeat Naraku, but only need to persist for an hour without being captured.
Therefore, the best choice is actually to delay time, not to fight hard.
It can be said that based on the strength shown in the previous fight and the decision-making ability shown by Uchiha Shisui now, Uchiha Shisui is fully qualified to pass the assessment.
It's a pity that Uchiha Shisui has now become a victim of someone's suppression of the Uchiha clan, so Naraku can only bully the weak.
Swish!
Chakra runs his feet.
Naraku rushed out quickly.
There is obviously a huge gap between his speed and Uchiha Shisui.
Almost caught up with Uchiha Shisui who turned and ran away.
Arriving behind Uchiha Shisui, Naraku pressed his right hand on his neck and pressed him to the ground without waiting for him to react.
"I'm sorry, you didn't pass the practical test!"
While suppressing Uchiha Shisui with his right hand, Naraku took out a kunai with his left hand and inserted it into the soil in front of the opponent's sight.
When Uchiha Shisui, whose side face was pressed tightly against the ground, saw the kunai in his sight, he stopped struggling all of a sudden, and at the same time, Naraku's emotionless voice came to his ears.
In the previous fight, although Uchiha Shisui seemed to have performed well, it was actually just Naraku who gave the opponent a chance to perform.
The purpose was naturally to act more realistically.
At least to make outsiders look like he really tested Uchiha Shisui, rather than completely violently oppressing him.
Swish!
Naraku suppressed Uchiha Shisui, and the next second, a figure appeared next to him.
The person who came was Dashan, who was responsible for supervising and recording the assessment.
When Uchiha Shisui entered the training ground, Dashan also followed behind.
"Uchiha Shisui, because the test time has not yet ended, you were captured by the examiner, so you did not pass this practical test."
Dashan looked at the situation in front of him, looked at Naraku deeply, and then announced the test results.
Naraku was very sensitive to the strange look from Dashan, but did not pay much attention to it.
After Dashan announced the result, he stood up and let go of Uchiha Shisui.
Uchiha Shisui, who regained his freedom, hurriedly got up.
His first look was at Naraku who was putting the kunai back into the ninja bag.
Uchiha Shisui's eyes were full of reluctance.
He often competed with other people in the family, and he was very clear about his strength. He was definitely qualified to become a Genin.
Now the test failed only because the examiner gave a higher test difficulty.
But after the reluctance, Uchiha Shisui sighed in his heart again.
No matter what, failure is failure.
"Teacher Naraku, I should apply for the graduation examination again next year. I hope you will still be my examiner next time." Uchiha Shisui adjusted his mood and said to Naraku seriously.
Although he was unwilling to fail the examination, he did not hate Naraku because of this. Instead, he had a desire to win and regarded Naraku as his goal.
"The arrangement of the examiner is not up to me, but if there is a chance, I don't mind." Naraku noticed the other party's emotional changes, so he smiled at him.
After the examination, the three left the training ground.
Uchiha Shisui returned to the class first.
"Naraku, you exceeded the standard in the actual combat examination!"
After Uchiha Shisui left, Dashan, who stayed in place, turned and looked at Naraku.
He saw Uchiha Shisui's performance in the actual combat examination.
With Uchiha Shisui's performance, he was actually fully qualified.
The failure was entirely due to Naraku's problem.
As one of the examiners, Oyama's attitude towards the assessment was still very fair, so he was a little dissatisfied with Naraku's behavior.
Naraku also looked at him and said seriously: "I know that Mr. Oyama thinks I am too strict, but I am doing this for Shisui's own good.
There is no doubt that Shisui's talent is very good, but he is still too young after all. For a genius like him, leaving school too early may not be a good thing. It is better to practice in school for a few years, so Mr. Oyama If you think I've done something wrong, I'm willing to take responsibility for it. "
"Okay, you just have to know what happened, but I won't hide anything about the assessment process." Dashan didn't say anything more, and at the same time, he wasn't easily persuaded by Naraku, but expressed his attitude. .
In addition to the assessment results, the assessment process is also recorded and will be reported at the end.
Therefore, Naraku's behavior in the actual combat assessment will inevitably be discovered.
Regarding what Dashan said, Naraku was very calm.
This assessment was originally a dilemma for him.
If the mission fails, the root organization will definitely be held accountable.
Maybe it will be recalled as a result.
On the contrary, like now, he may also be held accountable by the Hokage.
All Naraku could do was choose the lesser of two evils.
"Duanzo, you have to give me some strength!" Naraku thought to himself.
