Red sand dust

The examiner of the Chunin Exam?

It was so troublesome that Daimaru didn't bother to intervene.

The first test requires a lot of brainstorming to arrange the test scene.

In the second test, you need to be a nanny to ensure that the candidates will not encounter any danger beyond the normal.

The Demonic Desert is really too dangerous. The sandstorms that arise from time to time can put even jounin in danger.

It's okay for Suna Ninja to know a little bit about the inside story. How many candidates from other Ninja Villages know what's going on there?

It is probably impossible to expect the Mist ninja who is accustomed to the environment of the Kingdom of Water to know how to survive in the desert, and the Konoha ninja and Kumo ninja are not much better.

An exam is an exam. If it causes large-scale casualties, there is no way to explain it. Even if you sign a life and death certificate, it is not an excuse to ignore the lives of the candidates.

…

Just as the major ninja villages were preparing for the joint chuunin exams, Uchiha Sasuke, who had been practicing Sage Mode for some time, could barely feel the improvement brought about by squeezing his body for a long time.

After once again ending the perception of natural energy, Uchiha Sasuke glanced at the alarm clock on the corner of the table.

"It lasted one-third longer than last time. The recent progress has been so rapid. Is there something wrong?"

The silent question made Yamabuki, who was combing through the chakra in Uchiha Sasuke's body deep in his mind, couldn't help but laugh:

"Before you become stronger, you will be anxious and impatient; after you become stronger, you will worry about gains and losses..."

"I just feel it's a little too fast. The progress in just half a month is more than the total of more than a month ago..."

"The difference between getting started and not getting started is normal..."

Koyamabuki explained,

"From the beginning to now, most of the time I have been practicing, I have not grasped the key points. Now, it is the end of all the hardships..."

This is sometimes the case in spiritual practice. Once you find the key core, things will be easier to handle later on.

Even with the same Sage Mode training method, due to different physical conditions, Daimaru and Uchiha Sasuke have slightly different characteristic areas that are sensitive to natural energy.

The potential stimulated by Yakushi Kabuto's various secret medicines, as well as the deepening erosion of the curse seal of the sky, are subtly transforming Uchiha Sasuke's body, making him stronger, but also affecting his mental acuity. .

Especially recently, the degree of conflict between the cursed chakra and the natural energy absorbed into the body has begun to weaken, and the control ability has been continuously strengthened, giving Uchiha Sasuke the possibility to go further.

"My father said you were a great guy before, but I still didn't believe it. Now..."

Koyamabuki couldn't help but said in admiration,

"It's still unclear how powerful he will be in the future, but at least he will be cruel enough to himself..."

"Where do you start talking about this?"

"It's the Heaven's Curse Seal on your body. The better your body's adaptability to natural energy, the weaker the resistance to the curse seal. After all, the curse seal chakra is also a variant of the fairy chakra. You won't I think the backlash is getting lighter and lighter because Orochimaru’s conscience behind the curse seal discovered it, right?”

Of course, Uchiha Sasuke was aware of this kind of thing, but since no one exposed it, he had to pretend to be confused.

As the power of the Heavenly Curse Seal was passively stimulated, the young man determined to take revenge gradually became aware of the lingering malice in the purple-black chakra, like a poisonous snake ready to attack, with the snake message in his mouth The feeling of scratching on the face.

"I know, but there's no turning back!"

Uchiha Sasuke was silent for a while and replied calmly.

The road to revenge will not be smooth sailing. If you don't pay the price, how can you become stronger as soon as possible?

"Okay, I knew you would say this!"

Yamabuki said as expected,

"Our previous contract is that we each get what we need. It will also be good for me if you become more powerful. If nothing happens, I will try my best to help you..."

"Even if Daimaru doesn't allow it?"

"Father..."

Koyamabuki chuckled,

"It's no good. He doesn't bother to care about your mess, but I'm different. As long as Father doesn't explicitly prohibit it, as long as I'm willing, I don't mind having more fun..."

"Is it bad taste or curiosity?"

After being together for so long, Uchiha Sasuke has a preliminary understanding of the nature of Koyamabuki hidden in his body.

After reining in the momentum of his whole body, Jinhaori-like armored puppet turned into jet-black wings attached to his wrists. His originally dark eyes gradually returned to the bright red of the Sharingan, and his long red hair also turned black.

He reached out and touched his forehead, and the place where it seemed to have horns was as smooth as ever.

Behind his back, a pair of heavy fleshy wings also retracted his shoulder blades.

"I always feel a little abnormal. My improvement is not that big. It should be that you have become stronger and improved your control, which has given me more benefits..."

"Hey……"

Koyamabuki couldn't help laughing a few times,

"As expected, I can't hide it from you. I now have a second contractor to provide me with abilities. She has made great progress recently, which has benefited me a lot. You will also benefit from it..."

"Wait, second contractor?"

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly discovered something and asked strangely,

"Can you have another contractor?"

"Is this strange? We have signed an equal cooperation contract. You can cooperate with other psychic beasts. Why can't I establish a contract with others?"

"But I've never heard of it before..."

"You don't think you can monopolize my benefits, do you?"

Koyamabuki felt a little funny, but still explained patiently,

"Contractors must be carefully selected. Not just anyone can do it. Do you think we 'artificial elves' can be admired by everyone?"

Each "artificial elf" is unique and has its own specialties and temperaments. If the contractors are not compatible, it will only waste each other's time.

After hearing Koyamabuki's explanation, Uchiha Sasuke was silent for a while and then said with some regret:

"I thought Daimaru specially appointed you to assist me and sign the contract because I was of great benefit to him. It seems that he overestimated my importance..."

"You don't have to belittle yourself. My father specially sent me to cooperate with you. I must also attach great importance to it. However, I am not as indispensable as you think..."

"Right!"

Although he was reminded by Daimaru and realized that he might be of great value, no one could accurately estimate the elusive future.

He is a rebel ninja of Konoha and the opponent is a sand ninja. He must have the idea of ​​​​getting some light, but it is definitely unrealistic to expect Daimaru to take advantage of the fire for him.

"After all, you have to rely on yourself for everything!"

In the end, Uchiha Sasuke made an accurate assessment of his situation.

"It's good that you understand. Now, the only one who can help you directly is me..."

Koyamabuki said proudly,

"By the way, the thing you said last time about helping you find out how to practice illusions has come to fruition, but the help cannot be in vain. You have to agree to one condition..."
