Chapter 130: A Fanfiction Trope from Over a Decade Ago in the Fire Shadow
At some point, the furious commotion caused by Nu Fa Tian had faded away.
On Mount Kazaki, most of the Tsuchiigumo clan had returned to peace.
All except for the area where Sasuke was.
However, with the arrival of Huyi Xuan Yue, the battle that was about to reignite was temporarily halted.
Kakashi signaled, and the team from Konoha temporarily ceased their actions.
Taking advantage of this break, Hinata, with her gentle fist and Byakugan, also had some healing abilities. She lightly tapped her hands on Kiba's body, dispersing the remaining lightning-style chakra within him. With a gentle tone, she asked, "Kiba, how are you feeling now?"
Kiba moved his body a few times and patted his chest. "I feel great! Thanks, Hinata."
Kiba returned to his position.
Up ahead, Kakashi looked intently at the man who had suddenly appeared beside Sasuke.
Dressed in the same Uchiha blue attire and wearing a white swirl mask, with what seemed to be a Sharingan eye within the mask, he was the man who, according to intelligence, had easily defeated Deidara.
Kakashi had been unsure if this person was Huyi Xuan Yue, but now, seeing his figure, it was clear that they were completely different.
"Who are you?" Kakashi asked.
Huyi Xuan Yue, who had no intention of having the ninja world spread rumors about him spying on the Sharingan's power, had specifically disguised himself to confuse the ninja world and had no plans to reveal his identity.
"I believe Konoha already knows a thing or two about me," Huyi Xuan Yue replied calmly, looking at Kakashi.
Speaking of which, he still had a task related to Kakashi in his mind.
Huyi Xuan Yue glanced at the task panel in his mind, which had been silent for a long time.
【Main Task: The Bell Test】
【Task Description: Due to a limited number of new genin, the successful graduate host could not form a new team and was exceptionally added to another three-person team. Congratulations to the host for joining Team 7, consisting of Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura. The Jonin instructor is Hatake Kakashi. Please demonstrate your abilities in Kakashi's bell test, and the task reward will be based on the host's performance.】
It was normal for the main task after "his" graduation from the Ninja Academy to be the bell test by the team's Jonin instructor.
Ever since the Third Hokage became the teacher of the Problem Trio, it had become a tradition in Konoha for the instructor to have new disciples forcefully take the bells from them.
As for "him" being inserted into the team of the main characters.
This was quite in line with the characteristics of a fanfiction from over a decade ago in the Fire Shadow.
To be serious, this was a very simple task; he just needed to find Kakashi and have a fight with him.
However, Huyi Xuan Yue had been busy with matters concerning his soul for the past half a year and hadn't thought about doing it.
Indeed, the system had been occupying a more and more important place in his mind.
But there was one thing Huyi Xuan Yue understood very clearly.
Whether it was the main task or the branch task, as long as it did not affect his own progress, there was no problem in completing it.
But becoming a "slave" to the system, running around today to complete this task and tomorrow to complete that task, even if his strength improved because of it, Huyi Xuan Yue had no interest in doing so.
Without the system, Huyi Xuan Yue was still Huyi Xuan Yue.
With the system, he should still be the master of his own destiny.
Fortunately, although the system was acting up from time to time, it had never complained about anything.
Let the task hang there if it wanted to.
The newbie task of defeating Uzumaki Naruto had been hanging there for over fifty years, and the Ninja Academy had already graduated many classes, yet it could still be completed.
What did it matter if the bell test task had been hanging there for half a year? After all, Kakashi hadn't died yet.
And now, Kakashi had come to him of his own accord.
At this moment, no one could have imagined what Huyi Xuan Yue was thinking, as Kakashi continued, "You should be a member of the Uchiha clan, right?"
According to his analysis, the Uchiha before him was most likely sent by Yuyi Xuan Yue.
After all, Sasuke had followed Yuyi Xuan Yue in the past, so it was unlikely that he would "defect" again.
If he could bring this Uchiha to his side and take the opportunity to weaken Yuyi Xuan Yue's faction, all the better.
If not...
Kakashi gave Guy a subtle signal.
Guy instantly understood.
"Konoha? Uchiha?"
Yuyi Xuan Yue scoffed.
Without answering the question, he turned it back to Sasuke.
Sasuke lived up to his expectations and replied firmly:
"The Uchiha are the Uchiha! Konoha is Konoha."
Seeing Sasuke's stance, Kakashi knew that there was no room for negotiation.
Just as he was about to signal for his team to attack, a buzzing sound like that of insects filled the air.
Everyone turned to see a swarm of Kikaichu bees carrying two people toward them.
Shino, who had been quiet until now, pushed up his sunglasses and explained, "My insects found some members of the Tsuchiigumo clan, so I had them bring them over."
Soon, a still-unconscious Yuki and Tonbinbae were brought over.
After dispelling the genjutsu and waking up, Yuki, noticing Tonbinbae next to him, didn't have time to greet the Konoha ninjas. Instead, he anxiously asked Yuyi Xuan Yue, "What did you do to Ying?"
Yuyi Xuan Yue didn't bother to answer his question. Patting Sasuke's shoulder, he said, "Let's go."
There was no point in lingering after they had accomplished their goal.
Sasuke nodded.
Seeing this, Yuki hastily turned to the Konoha ninjas and shouted, "These two are here for the Tsuchiigumo clan's forbidden jutsu! Konoha ninjas, you must stop them!"
Without waiting for Yuki's reminder, Kakashi had already signaled for his team to move, and they rushed towards Yuyi Xuan Yue and Sasuke.
Yuyi Xuan Yue saw their movement and casually formed a few hand seals.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
Chakra gathered in his throat, and with a single exhale, a massive sheet of flame, like a tidal wave, surged towards the oncoming Konoha ninjas.
"What powerful fire style ninjutsu!"
Kakashi's pupils constricted, and without hesitation, he slapped the ground.
"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!"
An enormous wall of earth sprang up, but this time, Kakashi had no intention of carving a dog face into it.
Crack! Crack!
In an instant, the wall of earth couldn't withstand the flames and crumbled with a bang, allowing the fire to continue spreading.
"That should be enough."
Watching the sea of flames roll forward, Yuyi Xuan Yue thought that since he had already clashed with Kakashi, the main task would be automatically completed later. With no interest in prolonging his stay, he grabbed Sasuke's shoulder, ready to leave.
Suddenly!
The sharp sound of spatial friction, followed by a tearing noise, rang out.
Yuyi Xuan Yue's pupils contracted slightly, and he changed his mind, tossing Sasuke away from him.
The next second, he reached out to block.
Boom!!!
A violent explosion instantly erupted, centered on Yuyi Xuan Yue.
