Aizen slowly pulled out his knife, Rust Ink Ball. This was the name he had given this morning.
[Oh, not bad. Attack with the resolve to kill me!]」
Aizen gave Yuta a look. Although they could not communicate with each other after six years of interaction, they could still guess most of it.
Yuta nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Inuzuga-sensei, be careful... This is the first time I've used this move on someone.」
Lan Zan was afraid that she would not be able to control her strength. After all, she had just learned it last night.
" Water Evasion Sword Style, Form of Four, Tide of Striking "
Aizen rushed toward Inuzuka Claw, and the Rust Ink Ball in his hand was instantly wrapped by the water current.
The water vapor that was left behind had yet to dissipate due to the speed of the attack. From afar, it looked like a shocking wave that was heading straight for Inuzuka's Claw.
Inuzuka Claw was momentarily stunned. By the time he reacted, it was already too late for him to dodge. He shouted at Kuromaru. [Black pill!...] 'Teeth through Teeth!'
Kuromaru transformed into Inuzuka's Claw and used Teeth Through Teeth to break through Aizen's attacks that were like a huge wave and arrived behind him.
However, Lan Zan did not give them a chance to catch their breath. He turned around and continued to chase after them.
[Water Evasion Sword Form, Seven Form, Ripple Strike, Curved] This was the fastest straight thrust in the Water Breathing Technique.
Ripples appeared around Aizen. The blade brushed past Inuzuka Zhua's cheek, leaving a bloody mark. The hair on his temples was also shaved off.
Yong Tai and Little Lizi, who had just been rescued, were stunned.
[When did Aizen become so powerful... Sensei was actually at a disadvantage and was even injured.]」
"No! Li Zi, it should be said that he had always been so powerful, but he had never shown it before.」
[Let's go up and help!]
"Calm down, Lizi. We'll only cause trouble if we go now. Let's observe from the side first!」……
Inuzuka Claw wiped the blood off his face and smiled. He couldn't help but praise,"[Very powerful! Little brat!"
After saying that, he glanced at Black Ball. They had grown up together and had been partners for decades. Even if they didn't say it, they understood each other's intentions.
This kind of open area was not suitable for him to fight at all, so he tacitly retreated into the forest.
Lan Zan seemed to have known what they were up to. He did not care and chased after them fearlessly.
Looking at Aizen who was chasing after him, Inuzuka Claw could not help but shake his head."[Although he is powerful, he has too little combat experience. He's still too young..."
Inuzuka Claw and the black ball that had transformed into her were like beasts on all fours. Their hands and feet were covered with chakras, and they quickly jumped through the forest.
Not only could he use the trees to cover himself, but because of the dense density of the trees, Aizen's sword attacks were also hindered.
Using one's own advantage and the surrounding environment to fight was the basic skill of an excellent ninja.
However, Aizen remained calm and composed. Inuzuka Claw's keen wild instincts reminded her not to attack easily.
" Water Evasion Sword Form, Nine Form, Water Droplets, Chaos " Aizen stepped on the foothold formed by the water and moved quickly.
His speed was even faster than the four-legged technique, and his movements were more natural.
Even in the air where there was no foothold, he could use the foothold formed by the water escape to step on it and use it to turn around.
[What?! This kid!" Inuzuka Claw could not help but exclaim when he saw Aizen catching up to him. He tried his best to dodge Aizen's horizontal slash.
At this moment, Yong Tai and Reiko arrived. The two of them threw out a handful of Kunai to block the black ball's path.
Lan Zen found an opportunity to use the Water Evasion Sword Form, Form Three, Flowing Dance. Using footwork, he dodged the trees like a fish swimming in the water. His movements were as smooth as flowing water. It was more like a dance than a sword move.
The water trail behind him was like a fairy's ribbon that wrapped around the forest.
The tip of the azure-dyed blade stopped at Inuzuka Claw's throat. Everyone present was stunned, and even Inuzuka Claw himself did not react in time.
Then, Lan Ran waved her knife and put it away. She said calmly,[Inuzuka-sensei, it's time...]
[Ah... Oh... Hahaha, you're so awesome!] The two of you did well too! I hereby announce that all members of the fifth squad have passed the test and will begin their mission tomorrow.」
When Little Reiko and Yuta heard this, they pounced on Aizen and hugged each other to celebrate.
Both of them knew that if it were not for Aizen, they would never have passed the test.
……………
In Naruto's office, Inuzuka Claw was reporting to the third-generation successor.
" A preliminary test has been conducted on Tanaka Aizen. He is a true genius with superb swordsmanship and water escape talent.
Self-created Water Evasion Sword Style, combining the two perfectly. Its power was shocking and it was very practical.
He had excellent teamwork and tactical planning skills.
Her personality was gentle and sunny, similar to the fourth generation, and she was extremely charming.」
The third-generation successor took a puff of his cigarette and smiled."[I didn't expect you to have such a high opinion of him ~]
However, Inuzuka Claw's expression was serious." Personally, I feel that it's a little too low. Although I didn't fight with my full strength, Aizen's performance was more than enough."
That kind of…how should I put it?"
Kuromaru added,[It's as if everything has been seen through.]」
"Is that so... I understand. If there's anything important, report to me.」
[Yes!] " Third Generation…Can I ask why Aizen…" Inuzuka Claw hesitated for a moment before asking Third Generation.
"Oh…I don't know how many years my old bones can last. Before that, I want to see the sprouts grow up healthily.」
"The third-generation leader is still old and vigorous.」
[Ahaha... really! I'll accept your words."
………
Today was Inuzuka's first mission. As expected, it was a D-rank mission, which was to help the village's Chiyoda-sama take care of the children.
It was a two-year-old girl. Children of this age were the easiest to take care of. As long as they prepared delicious food and toys to attract her attention, it would be fine.
If she was a little older, she would become willful and take the initiative to make requests.
The division of labor between the three of them was also very clear. Yuta was responsible for making delicious snacks suitable for the baby, and the lively Reiko was responsible for making the baby happy. When the baby fell asleep, Aizen and Reiko took turns to take care of him.
Although the three of them had arranged it this way, Lan Ran did not expect her affinity and charm to be so high. This little girl hugged Lan Ran and refused to let go. She could not be coaxed no matter how hard she tried.
[Ahaha! Thank you, Lan Ran! Inuzuga-sensei, let's take on more missions like this in the future!」Little Lizi smiled happily and ate the biscuits that Yuta had specially prepared for the baby.
Lan Zan looked down at the little girl who was clutching onto her clothes in his arms. He actually liked her.
Hmm…as long as she didn't stain her clothes with crumbs, saliva, milk stains, and other things…
In the evening, when Chiyoda-sama returned and Aizen and the others were about to leave after completing their mission, the little girl was still crying in Aizen's arms, unwilling to come out.
However, this made Chiyoda-sama very happy. He felt that Aizen and the others had taken good care of him, so he gave them double the commission without hesitation.
Even Inuzuka Claw was silently contemplating whether he should take on more missions like this in the future. No…perhaps he should just take on missions related to the female client.
