Chapter 88 Unqualified
"Well, how about this is the plan for now? After all, there is still some time before Konoha's chuunin exams. If we discuss too detailed a plan now, if something unexpected happens by then, it will all be cancelled. Already."
Orochimaru looked at the mirror man and said.
Mirror Man nodded. Indeed, it is a bit anxious to make too detailed a plan now. Just set a general direction.
"Okay, I agree with what you said, then, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Please do it!"
A month later.
Konoha.
In the Ninja School, Iruka stood on the podium, holding a piece of paper and speaking to the Ninja School students below.
"Then, the graduation exam begins now. The person who was called comes to the next classroom. Then, the question this time is the art of clone!"
At this point, Naruto below was stunned.
[Clone technique? Isn't this the ninjutsu I'm least good at? Why is it such an unlucky coincidence? 】
Although Naruto kept complaining in his heart, the exam would not change just because of him.
"Uzumaki Naruto!"
After a while, Naruto's name was called.
Naruto walked to the next classroom tremblingly. After entering, Naruto found that this classroom was very empty without a single table or chair. There was only a larger table and two chairs at the podium, and the table was filled with wood. Ye's ninja protects his forehead, while two people are sitting on the chair.
One is Iruka, whom Naruto is familiar with, and the other is a white-haired Konoha ninja who Naruto also knows, but is not very familiar with. He is also a teacher named Mizuki.
After Naruto entered the classroom, neither Iruka nor Mizuki spoke, they just looked at Naruto quietly. Naruto also knew that the exam had already begun.
Although he was very nervous, when things came to a close, Naruto had to go ahead.
seal.
A large amount of chakra poured out, and Naruto's chakra was still as amazing as ever, but
"Clone Technique!"
With a shout and a burst of smoke, Naruto created a clone, but that clone was a A useless clone paralyzed on the ground, unable to even move.
Looking at this clone, Iruka and Naruto were stunned.
Naruto broke into a cold sweat, he probably guessed what would happen next.
"Unqualified!"
Sure enough, Iruka roared loudly.
Naruto's eyes widened. Although he expected this ending, he still couldn't help but feel disappointed when he actually experienced it. Becoming Hokage was his dream, but now, he couldn't even become a ninja.
At this time, Mizuki suddenly spoke to Iruka.
"Iruka-sensei, his body skills and endurance are quite good. Now he can barely be considered as capable of the clone technique. Even if he passes," Naruto was overjoyed. He didn't expect
this unfamiliar teacher Mizuki to be able to do it. Speak for him at such a critical moment.
However, Iruka interrupted Mizuki and spoke helplessly.
"Teacher Mizuki, everyone can be divided into at least three people, but Naruto only has one, and this can only get in the way. I can't let him pass." This was
Iruka's final verdict.
Compared to Mizuki, Iruka's decision was really cruel to Naruto. Naruto looked at Iruka. At this moment, for the first time, Naruto felt a little bit towards the teacher who had taught him for six years. resentment.
By noon, the graduation exams were all over.
Naruto sat alone on the swing outside the ninja school, his head slightly lowered, and shadows covered his eyes. Anyone could see that this child was very lost.
If it were someone else, maybe there would be someone around to comfort you and say try harder next time.
But if it was Naruto, then all that was heard around him was ridicule.
"Hey, that kid."
"That's the kid."
"It seems like he's the only one who failed."
"Humph, he deserves it!"
"It would be terrible if that kind of person became a ninja."
Around the ninja school, Countless people are immersed in the joyful atmosphere. They are happy to have graduated.
Many children are dreaming about their future ninja careers, and many adults are praising their children.
The only place where the swing is there seems to be in a different world from the crowd not far away.
One side is full of sunshine and the other side is full of shadows.
The adults spoke contemptuous words to Naruto without thinking or scruple.
They must know that Naruto can hear their words, and they must also know that Naruto is only a 12-year-old child.
But what they don't know is how disgusting it is to leave a shadow on a child.
Look, this is the son of the hero, this is the son of the hero who protected Konoha with his life, this is the son of the hero who was forced to become a Jinchūriki and bear the huge hatred of Kyuubi for Konoha!
The whole village was mocking, scorning, and hating this heroic son.
Faced with these mocking words and disdainful eyes, Naruto didn't say anything. He just quietly lowered his head lower.
At this moment, Naruto's mind once again flashed back to the boy from back then, the boy who would encourage him every time he defeated him.
From his eyes, what Naruto saw was not contempt or disgust, but deep expectation. That was the light that Naruto wanted to get close to the most.
[Mirror Man Me]
Naruto thought in despair, is he really not suitable to be a ninja? Is it too arrogant to defeat the Mirror Man?
【come on! Maybe in the future, you can beat me. ]
However, at this moment when Naruto was lost, in a daze, Naruto seemed to see the Mirror Man patting his shoulder again, encouraging him with expectation.
A slight smile appeared on the corner of Naruto's mouth, but soon it turned into a look of loss.
This was just an illusion after all, Naruto knew very well.
However, at this moment, Mizuki suddenly appeared next to Naruto, and Naruto looked up. He had a natural affection for this teacher Mizuki who helped him at the critical moment.
Akatsuki Organization Base.
"Buzz!"
The projections appeared one after another, and soon, the projections of all members of the Akatsuki organization appeared.
The mirror man looked towards Tiandao.
"Chief, I'm going to invade Konoha soon. Can you send a few people here to help me?"
Send someone to help Kagami invade Konoha. This is what Kagami promised Kagami when he joined Akatsuki.
Payne nodded.
"Okay, but I heard that you are working with Orochimaru?"
Orochimaru has always been the target of the Akatsuki organization. Payne still has to ask about Mirror Man secretly cooperating with Orochimaru.
The mirror man didn't deny it and spoke calmly.
"Yes. Invading Konoha requires manpower, and I can't do it alone." "
That's it, okay. After the cooperation is over, if there is a chance, kill Orochimaru."
Payne said. , the Akatsuki organization's pursuit of Orochimaru has always been about whether or not to kill him. This can be seen from the original work. The Akatsuki organization has not paid much attention to Orochimaru from the beginning to the end.
So when it came to the cooperation between Mirror Man and Orochimaru, Payne didn't bother to say anything. He just routinely asked Mirror Man to kill Orochimaru when he had the chance. If there was no chance, it didn't matter.
