Konoha: Who says that hunters can't play in the ninja world?

In order to save his life, Kazama is experiencing the hellish treatment of physical training. The Twelve Young Masters also gained something. Shikamaru lost the game just like in the original work, but he got the title of Chunin. He became the first person among the Twelve Young Masters to become a Chunin, but this time, the Kazama trio joined. Yes, Ichiro and Nobuko also successfully advanced to Chunin. Kazama's plan to play the pig and eat the tiger with the title of Genin was ruined.

After struggling to survive for half a month, Fengjian finally took a day off after repeated requests. He no longer wanted to stay in the sweat-soaked tree house, and chose to come to the bustling Central Street to change his mood. Don't say it, it really feels like seeing the world again.

I bought some snacks and spent the whole morning wandering the streets. Feeling that most of the mental fatigue accumulated from the training had been dissipated, Fengjian prepared to take a hot spring bath to relax.

I have to say, when the hot spring softens my body, I feel that the whole person becomes gentle. Everything is so beautiful except that a human-shaped ice cube appears next to me.

The only one who feels that life is not so good is probably Sasuke. He watched Naruto's strength improve greatly, and was provoked by Uchiha Itachi again. In addition, the curse seal of Orochimaru on his body amplified his negative emotions, causing Sasuke to be bitter and resentful. The whole person became cold and gradually showed the tendency of the rebellious ninja Sasuke in the original work.

"Sasuke, if you have free time, go and practice. If you are tired, come down and take a hot spring bath. Don't stay in the corner and peep openly, okay? I am so embarrassed when you do this." Although he said embarrassed, Kazama had no intention of moving. They were all boys, and as long as he was not embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.

"..." Sasuke paused and slowly released his transformation technique. The big rock in the shadow turned into Sasuke's appearance.

"How did you see through me?" Sasuke was curious. He didn't squeeze in when Kazama was taking a hot spring bath. Instead, he predicted Kazama's movements and hid his transformation before Kazama took a hot spring bath. When Kazama entered the hot spring, all the facilities in the hot spring were new, so there was naturally no flaw. Moreover, Sasuke chose to transform into a big stone. As long as he didn't move, and there was a shadow, there should be no flaw.

"This is the first time I heard that stones can breathe." Fengjian exhaled leisurely, blowing the water vapor of the hot spring into a column of air.

"Uh~..." Sasuke instantly realized his flaw. Even if it was a transformation technique, no matter how similar it looked, he was still a human after all and had to breathe. The hot spring environment showed human breathing clearly. What a mistake.

"No, even if that's the case, at most we can determine that the stone was transformed from a human. How can you be sure it was me?" Sasuke quickly found the flaw in Kazama's words and asked back.

"From the moment you followed me at the meatball shop, I knew it was you. Just because I can't see it doesn't mean my friends can't see it, right, Slug, Gray Wolf?"

"..." Sasuke was speechless, regretting that he was too arrogant. He shouldn't have played this game of hide-and-seek with Fukama. This guy was cheating and asked for help.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Seeing that Sasuke had fallen into silence again, Kazama took the initiative to change the subject.

"What did you mean by what you said to me last time?" Sasuke had some understanding of Kazama's personality. He was a bad bastard who liked to use words to seduce, guide, and stimulate others, and enjoyed the pleasure of seeing through others' hearts. So before coming here, he was ready to be provoked. No matter how much you said, no matter how many twists and turns you made, I would remain motionless.

"Oh, what?" Fengjian was stunned. There were too many things happening and too many things to say during this period of time. The previous meeting with Sasuke had long been forgotten in his mind.

"Humph, you're really an asshole. What you said before the Chunin Exam Finals."

"Oh~, I remember now. What's wrong? Did it confirm what I said?"

"How do you know all this? How can you know so much about something that even I, the Uchiha clan, don't know? And what right do you have to say that the records above are false? What else do you know? Tell me everything you know..." Unconsciously, Sasuke got angry, with an arrogant face and a commanding tone. It made people want to punch him in the face.

"..." He shouted loudly, but in Kazama's ears, it was just a sound. Kazama was still sure of Sasuke's current situation. He didn't respond to Sasuke's words at all, and slowly enjoyed the snacks provided by the hot springs.

"You..." Sasuke subconsciously wanted to continue yelling. Kazama's performance made his impatience seem like a joke.

"Your greatest enemy is your emotions" the words that Kazama once said echoed in his mind. Sasuke closed his eyes with a grim face, using the force to calm his breathing.

"Even though he's still a little brat who loves to get carried away, at least he knows how to restrain himself. That's progress, Second Pillar." The teasing tone almost made Sasuke break down again.

"Can you answer my question?" The silence between the two calmed Sasuke down and his tone returned to normal.

Kazama was a little surprised, then said: "Yes, there has been real progress. This is the right tone for a conversation. Not a childish tantrum." After a pause, Kazama adjusted his posture in the hot spring.

"I know a lot, but I don't want to tell you the source, so don't ask. As for what you want to know about Uchiha Itachi and the Uchiha clan, I'm not going to tell you either..."

"You..." Kazama spoke with heavy breathing, and Sasuke was out of breath.

"Don't be impatient. The reason why I didn't say it is because the former cannot be said, and the latter is useless. It won't do you any good. You are now a child who suddenly fell into the fog, losing your direction and the means of identification. It's like being naked and exposed in the wilderness. In the eyes of ambitious people, the Uchiha family name and bloodline are the biggest temptation. Let others guide, seduce, and deceive you..."

"Does that include you?" Sasuke crossed his arms, his tone indescribably cold. He was neither angry nor furious, his words were as calm as boiled water.

“Ahem…” Feng Jian’s trick almost failed.

"That includes me, of course. The difference is that I don't have any big intentions towards you. Believe me, the price you pay is minimal, or even no price. For others, like Orochimaru who planted strawberries for you, what you pay is your body, or even your life."

“…” Sasuke was speechless. Silence became his most common emotion today.

"Okay, let's change the subject. Do you remember what your wish was when you became a ninja?" Fengjian had read the original novel and had also heard Naruto, the big mouth, mention it before, so it came in handy here.

"Revitalize the family and kill Uchiha Itachi." Sasuke said firmly.

"Think back on your time as a ninja, especially your recent actions. What have you discovered?"

"Have you ever felt that your life has been gradually taken over by thoughts of revenge, and that the lofty words you said about revitalizing the Uchiha clan have been lost? I'm not denying your choice of revenge, but I think that revenge and revitalizing the clan don't have to be one or the other. Why not try both? Revenge alone will lead you to darkness, and revitalizing the clan alone will wear you down. Trying both at the same time might make it easier for you."
