Soon, Jonin appeared one after another, taking their respective teams. The teams not chosen by Jonin looked disappointed.
"Uchiha Ichie, Shiranui Bai Lu , you two come with me. I, Aburame Shibi, will be your squad leader Jonin."
A person shrouded in a large robe stood at the classroom door.
Ichie and Bai Lu exchanged glances, immediately stood up, and followed Aburame Shibi.
The three of them immediately began to move at high speed, heading straight for the village's training ground. Along the way,
The three moved silently at high speed.
Shibi observed the two with his peripheral vision, secretly nodding. At least their basic qualities were up to par.
Soon, the three arrived at a training ground.
"Oh! Mr. Bai Lu, aren't you incredibly surprised to see me? Hahaha, I actually knew it all along, that's why I waited for you here in advance!"
Guy kicked out a Konoha Whirlwind in place, shouting loudly.
Apparently, he had been preparing this pose for a long time.
"It's this idiot..."
Ichie's expression changed slightly, almost losing her composure, but seeing Bai Lu's satisfied look, she immediately remembered how Dai had acted when facing the White-Eyed Brothers... Did Dai and Guy also have hidden strength? Were they also Mr. Bai Lu's people?
Mr. Bai Lu really is a dangerous guy.
Bai Lu smiled and nodded: "How exciting, Guy. Partnering with you gives me a great sense of security."
"It seems you are all familiar with each other. In that case, it will save a lot of unnecessary things..." Shibi nodded. "Then, let's introduce ourselves. My name is Aburame Shibi. My favorite things are insects, and my most hated things are people who harm insects."
"Teacher, me, me, me, Might Guy! I'm best at Taijutsu. My favorite things are training and being with Mr. Bai Lu. My hated things... I don't have any hated things for now."
"I am Uchiha Ichie. I am skilled in Genjutsu and Taijutsu. I have no favorite things. My most hated thing is an unbreakable fate."
Finally, everyone looked at Bai Lu .
"I'm a simple person, Bai Lu. I'm good at... Ninjutsu, I guess. My favorite thing is the process of realizing my dream. I hate this chaotic Ninja World the most, as it goes against my dream. As for my dream, it's also quite simple: world peace. I will strive forward to achieve peace in this world."
Bai Lu said with a smile.
"World peace, huh? A truly grand ideal. As expected of you."
Shibi pushed up his sunglasses, acknowledging Bai Lu's words.
"Oh? Teacher Shibi seems to know me well?"
"Yes, I spent some time in the Anbu before, so I knew about a special junior like you. It's extremely rare to be able to uphold the will of fire to this extent and gain the Lord Hokage's admiration."
Shibi spoke methodically. Even though he was just chatting, his whole demeanor exuded a strong sense of gloom. It seemed that the entire Aburame clan often produced such inconspicuous people... "You all go prepare. Tonight at six, Team Three will gather here. Your opponent will be an Insect Clone I send out. I will adjust your training plan based on your performance."
Shibi finished speaking dryly, then immediately dispersed into a swarm of insects and vanished.
"Insects... Even if he's an Elite Jōnin, he won't be able to defeat us with just an Insect Clone."
Ichie said this, but her expression was extremely serious.
Aburame Shibi was known as the most well-rounded ninja, with no weaknesses in any aspect; he was practically a monster.
The village actually assigned such a ninja to their squad as a guiding Jonin, which was shocking.
"An Insect Clone, huh? A special Solid Clone Technique. With such a knowledgeable and powerful teacher, I'm sure I can learn a lot... Speaking of which, I really need to learn Solid Clone Technique." Bai Lu nodded.
The physical Clone he wanted wasn't like a Shadow Clone that would disappear with a single touch.
Instead, it needed to be able to withstand extremely high-intensity combat, like a Wood Release Clone!
At this moment, Ichie leaned close to Bai Lu, tidied her hair, and whispered: "Mr. Bai Lu, there's still time. Why don't we take this opportunity to try..."
Bai Lu's ear tickled.
"Alright, I also plan to study your special Physique... Guy, come with us."
...In a dim underground cavern.
The massive Demonic Statue of the Outer Path cast a large shadow.
"Oh? It seems Konoha has indeed taken this step, sending the new generation to the battlefield. This terrible world is not what I wanted at all, Hashirama. Facts prove you were wrong..."
The aging man slowly raised his head, a Three-Tomoe Sharingan emitting a blood-red, eerie glow.
"Now, it's time to enforce my will..."
