Chapter 107: Yue Yan's Team
At this time, Shisui had just graduated from the ninja school. According to the original plot, he should have followed the large - scale Uchiha Clan troops to the Land of Water battlefield and earned the name "Shunshin Shisui" on the battlefield at a young age.
However, now, because of Yue Yan, who is like a little butterfly constantly flapping its wings, the Mist Ninjas surrendered much earlier than in the original plot. As a result, Shisui lost his chance to become famous.
When Shisui was told by Yue Yan that he would have a very powerful Team - Leading Jonin and be a companion of Itachi, he was also very happy.
Before the agreed assembly time, Shisui took Itachi to the training ground early.
As for Hayate Gekkō, coming from a small clan, his strength was among the top in this batch of ninja school students. But when he learned that he had to graduate early, he was completely confused.
When he told his Mother and Father the name of his Team - Leading Jonin, Hayate Gekkō just stared blankly at his parents' excited expressions.
Although Yue Yan was only in his teens, he was already well - known in the ninja world. That's why Hayate Gekkō's parents were so excited. Having such a powerful person as a teacher, Hayate Gekkō's future was basically secured.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Yue Yan arrived at the agreed assembly place. Seeing the three young ones who had arrived early and were training on their own, he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
Both Shisui and Itachi were geniuses. Although Hayate Gekkō was a bit inferior, he could still be considered a little genius.
"Not bad. It seems you don't have the habit of being late. I'm Hongchi Yue Yan, your future Team - Leading Jonin. Now, introduce yourselves first."
Hearing this, Shisui, the oldest among the three, stepped forward first to introduce himself.
"My name's Shisui Uchiha. I'm good at illusion. I like raising crows and hate war. My dream is to make the village even better."
"I'm Hayate Gekkō. Cough... I'm good at sword jutsu. I like bread and there's nothing I hate. My dream is to be a Jonin."
After Shisui and Hayate had both finished their introductions, Itachi, the youngest present, blinked cutely.
"My name is Itachi Uchiha. I don't know what I'm good at yet. I like Three Colouring Pills and don't have anything I hate. My dream is to have a younger brother."
After listening, Yue Yan couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth. Should I say he really lives up to his reputation as a big brother crazy about his little brother? Even his dream was to have a younger brother. By the way, this shouldn't really count as a dream, right? Maybe if you give Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha more private space tonight, you'll get a little brother.
Although he was complaining in his heart like this, Yue Yan still put on a serious look on his face.
"Good. Now I announce that you are officially Yue Yan's Team. Come with me to the mission hall later. I'll take you on a mission."
Hearing this, Shisui raised his hand and asked.
"Teacher, isn't there any assessment? I heard from other seniors that there's always an assessment when forming a team."
Hearing this, Yue Yan shrugged.
"The assessment is just to test your abilities as Genin, and I have full confidence in your abilities. After all, in my opinion, the talents of you three are definitely no less than Kakashi's."
Hearing this, Shisui and the other two were extremely happy. After all, at this time, Kakashi was still the number one genius. Everyone in their families was praising Kakashi, and being compared to Kakashi by their teacher was a form of recognition for them.
Although they were very happy, Shisui still wanted Yue Yan to know more about the three of them. Having an assessment could also strengthen the relationship among the three.
After all, when the three of them first got together, Shisui and Itachi knew each other before. It was obvious that Hayate Gekkō was having some trouble fitting in.
"Thank you for your trust, teacher, but we still want to have an assessment."
"Alright, what do you two think?"
Hearing the question, Itachi looked at Shisui and then nodded.
"I'll follow Brother Shisui."
On Hayate Gekkō's side, in order to fit in, he also nodded.
"I also agree to the assessment."
Seeing this, Yue Yan nodded and used the Summoning Technique to summon Xiaolan.
After speaking with Xiaolan, Yue Yan patted its shoulder.
"I'll leave it to you. Just don't kill them."
Hearing this, Xiaolan didn't say a word but rolled its eyes in annoyance, probably meaning that it was busy training every day and was called here for such a small thing.
Seeing Xiaolan's expression, Yue Yan smiled.
"Don't look at me like that. After all, if I were to make a move, I might beat them so badly that they lose all hope."
After saying that, Yue Yan looked at the three little ones.
"Xiaolan is my partner. Don't underestimate it. After all, Xiaolan is very powerful. It can easily take on two or three ordinary Jonin."
Hearing this, Shisui and the others became serious and all got on guard. After all, Yue Yan had no reason to lie to them.
"I'll hold it back head - on together with Hayate. Itachi, you wait on the side and use ninjutsu when the opportunity arises."
Without knowing the true abilities of his teammates, Shisui adopted a conservative strategy of having Hayate, who was good at sword jutsu, and himself, who was good at illusion, take the lead.
Hearing Shisui's command, Itachi and Hayate had no objections. After nodding, they formed a triangular formation and faced Xiaolan.
Seeing this, Xiaolan sighed, looking unenthusiastic. Well, it was understandable. Fighting these three kids was like picking on the weak.
Just then, thinking it was a good opportunity, Shisui took out several Shuriken and threw them at Xiaolan while performing ninjutsu.
"Fire Release: Balsam Flower Claw Red!"
The Shuriken were wrapped in flames, blocking all of Xiaolan's dodging paths. Meanwhile, Hayate Gekkō drew out the long sword on his back, teleported in front of Xiaolan, and launched a fierce attack with the family - inherited sword jutsu, Mikazuki Sword Jutsu.
However, in Xiaolan's eyes, their movements were extremely slow. With just a shift of her steps, she dodged Shisui's ninjutsu. Then, she raised her paw. Just as Hayate Gekkō was swinging his long sword and hadn't built up enough momentum, she slapped the blade, causing Hayate to lose his balance and stagger to the side for a short distance.
Just as Xiaolan was about to follow up with a kick to send Hayate Gekkō flying, Shisui used the Body Flicker Technique to dash forward. Holding a Kunai, he swiped at Xiaolan's neck.
Xiaolan tilted her head back and lifted her knee to strike Shisui's abdomen.
Shisui, who didn't expect Xiaolan to react so quickly, had no choice but to abandon his attack and block with both hands. After all, if he got hit by that knee strike, he wouldn't be able to get up for at least ten minutes.
Shisui propped up Xiaolan's knee with both hands and used the force to leap into the air. Behind him, Itachi took advantage of the moment to release Fire Release.
"Great Fireball Technique!"
Xiaolan, who had already sensed it using Aura Power, raised her hand and fired a Wave Missile, blasting the Great Fireball Jutsu in mid - air.
After the first round of attacks ended, the three of them returned to their original positions.
Shisui gritted his teeth. Whether it was his own ninjutsu blockade, Hayate's frontal restraint, or his own charge to obscure the view so that Itachi could launch a sneak attack with ninjutsu, they hadn't even touched Xiaolan.
"She's really strong."
Taking a deep breath, Shisui calmed himself down and then turned to look at Itachi and Hayate.
"Next, we'll go all out. Any Mondai?"
