Undercurrent of Konoha

Naruto yelled and sat down in the grass.

"do not want!"

Heiji reminded loudly.

However, it was too late.

Naruto was suddenly hung upside down on the treetops, head and feet.

The brain was instantly congested with blood, and Naruto's face turned a light purple color from the suffocation.

"Hey-! What's going on? Why is there a trap here?"

Naruto stared at Heiji with an angry face, swaying hard, swinging back and forth like a pendulum, but was completely unable to break free.

Heiji spread his hands: "Okay, this trap was actually set by me. However, it was not prepared for you..."

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

……

Before Heiji could react, dozens of shurikens tore through the air, making a sharp whistle-like sound as they shot through the air at various vital points around his body.

As a weak young man with no physical strength, Heiji could only rely on instinct to instantly curl up his body into a ball and make the target as small as possible for the enemy to shoot at.

Ding!Ding!Ding!

This is the crisp sound the shuriken makes when nailed to hard metal.

At the same time, Heiji felt a heartbreaking pain in his left arm...

Although there was a steel plate hidden in the chest, which resisted most fatal attacks, the arm was still hit by a dart!

"You were hit by so many shurikens and you didn't die? That's a lot of life."

A middle-aged ninja with a handsome face suddenly appeared in front of Heiji, carrying two huge shurikens on his back, but with an evil and lewd smile on his face.

"Mr. Mizuki, it's such a pity that your pretty little face is completely ruined by this smile."

Heiji coughed slightly, and a trace of bright red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but the expression on his face seemed unusually calm.

"Damn you brat... let's kill that nine-tailed brat first."

Mizuki felt his heart tremble as he was stared at by Heiji's calm eyes. He then looked up at the Uzumaki Naruto hanging above his head and swaying. He suddenly reached out and took out a huge shuriken from behind, and shot it at the person who was trapped by the rope. Uzumaki Naruto.

At this moment, Uzumaki Naruto's entire body had swung to the highest point of the pendulum's movement trajectory, almost motionless in the air, watching helplessly as the huge shuriken pierced his chest, unable to fight back.

puff--!

A muffled sound.

Uzumaki Naruto's entire body suddenly exploded and turned into a faint white smoke.

Shadow clone? ? ?

Mizuki's pupils shrank instantly.

Is this the same Uzumaki Naruto who couldn't even succeed in the most basic clone technique during the test the day before?

Why is there a shadow clone with combat capabilities that is enough to resemble the real one?

A huge gust of wind sounded from behind.

Mizuki felt a chill go down his spine. Just as he was about to dodge, he felt himself hit in the back by a bison weighing several hundred kilograms. He was knocked straight out and hit Heiji in front of him without any bias.

Pfft - huh!

Mizuki's internal organs were all displaced from the impact just now. Before he could recover, he felt a chill in his chest. A shuriken penetrated through the gap between the two ribs on his chest, hitting all the way. He leaned on the ground and pierced his heart!

A mouthful of blood spurted out. Before Mizuki could make the slightest move, he fell limply to the ground. A large amount of bright red blood poured out from his mouth and the wound on his chest, dyeing the green grass beneath him. Weird scarlet.

"I'm such a fool...he really lied to me..."

Another Uzumaki Naruto stood blankly behind Mizuki's corpse. The surface of his body was covered with a fiery red chakra, exuding a strong evil aura.

Heiji frowned and pulled out the shuriken from his left arm.

Blood gushed out from the wound, slowly and slowly.

"Hey! Stop standing there stupidly and bandage me up first! Also, don't forget your promise to treat me to ramen if you lose! Ichiraku Ramen!"

……

A ramen shop.

Heiji held a bowl of tonkotsu BBQ ramen that was bigger than his head and slurped on it, feeling the healing warmth in his whole body and mind.

"Hey! Heiji, this is already the fifth bowl! If you keep eating like this, my pocket money will be gone this month!"

While Naruto was sweating profusely while sipping the ramen from his bowl, he didn't forget to raise his head to persuade Heiji next to him.

On Naruto's left side, eight empty bowls were piled up, and not even a drop of the soup was left.

"one more bowl!"

Heiji finally finished eating the big bowl in front of him and shouted loudly.

"That's enough, Heiji! You can only eat 2 bowls at most on weekdays, how come you can eat so much today? I suffered a big loss this time!"

Naruto yelled, turning his grief and anger into appetite, staring, wanting to eat the entire bowl of ramen in front of him.

Having just personally killed Mizuki, a chuunin-level rebellious ninja, Heiji felt that his whole body felt like he had been reborn.

"Congratulations on killing the first rebel ninja in your life!"

"The name of the traitorous ninja: Kentaro Mizuki"

"Rebel Ninja Level: Ordinary Chuunin"

"Killing difficulty: half star"

"Mission Reward: Chakra Awakening"

"Title Level: Rebellious Ninja Hunter (Entry)"

"Title bonus: Chakra amount gain by 5%"

Heiji looked at the series of prompts on the system interface over and over again, and really felt a blazing flame burning in the dantian of his lower abdomen.

The significance of "Chakra Awakening" is too great, which means that Heiji finally got rid of his weak identity as a civilian and had the opportunity to become a real ninja.

"Phew—I'm full!"

Heiji ate the sixth bowl of ramen with difficulty, feeling that he couldn't even hold a stick of ramen or a mouthful of noodle soup in his stomach.

Naruto has already eaten 15 bowls of ramen...

He squeezed the wallet with his hand and sighed softly, obviously still a little unfinished.

"It is indeed a monster, nothing compared to... hiccup!"

Heiji shook his head and looked at Naruto helplessly. The unyielding energy just now was replaced by endless belches.

A cool breeze suddenly blew in from behind.

Uncle Ichiraku, who was looking at Heiji and Naruto with a kind expression, became slightly more solemn.

"Are you Heiji?"

A very magnetic voice came from behind, cold and a little lazy.

Heiji turned around and saw a mysterious ninja wearing a cat-face mask and a black cloak standing behind him.

This is an ANBU ninja from Konoha Hidden Village.

On weekdays, it is rare to see them appearing openly and openly in the village in this image when performing tasks.

For Ichiraku Ramen Shop, this ANBU ninja is also a rare customer.

Heiji stood up slowly and looked at the other person without saying a word.

"Do you want to be a ninja?"

Heiji was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly but firmly.

"Come with me."

The man spoke very simply and concisely, turned around and walked out.

Heiji didn't hesitate at all and followed out without hesitation.

The sky above our heads was already filled with stars.

At the lively Konoha Night Market, colorful neon signs have been lit up.

There were many pedestrians on the street, and it was very lively.

Even so, in the vast sky and earth, the lights and excitement are just a tiny corner; looking up, there is endless coldness and darkness everywhere.
