Naruto: The Way of the Great Lord
Chapter 8 Do You Still Think We're Too Small?

I Listen carefully to the words that Lord Third has just said 'We will be very helpful in the upcoming event huh. It seemed like the political waters had been chaotic and war was in sight but it seemed that he did not know when or how.' Before I could open my mouth, Shisui said her part.

"So Third Master, if we do what you say and become Anbu, what level of freedom is required? Or will we become a 'Special Lady' who will be a secret even to the other village elders? Because if it's the latter, we'll be more than happy to accept your request."

'The synergy with these three people goes beyond what I thought before, to be able to give advice to your boss in a thoughtful way is something that many Jonin can't!' The Third Hokage understood their reasoning behind this suggestion. 3 Young Uchiha who was not even old enough to be accepted into the Academy would now graduate from it, There were certain elders who did not wish to see Uchiha give birth to such a talent.

"That's acceptable." The Hokage raised his hand and an Anbu appeared, whispering something in his ear and the Anbu disappeared. "From now on the three of you are S-Rank secrets, no elder will know that your Anbu army exists. Now go downstairs to take the written exam and the practice exam when you have completed it, you will get your Anbu training mask. "

The three saluted the Hokage and began to descend the stairs. When they arrived, they saw an Anbu shinobi in front of them. "Follow me." His voice was cold and without any emotion, like he did not see children but dust grains that were too small to be flown.

They were taken to a room with three tables and test papers and stationery were placed on each table. "This will be your written exam, you have 1 hour to complete the exam, your time starts when you sit." Anbu said that and sat down on a chair that was not in the room when they arrived.

The three sat at each other's tables and began the test, but when they turned the paper over, the three were in disbelief.

'Wow' Itachi was shocked.

'Really' Shisui shock.

'...'Ichizo just stared blankly at the papers in front of him.

3 Minutes and 49 seconds. That was how long it took them to complete the written exam. The only reason it took so long was because Ichizo stared at the paper thinking it was some kind of hoax. 'THERE IS NO ROAD!' it was a thought that played out over and over again in his head like a broken cassette.

'The Academic standards of this world are very poor.'

[It's true ichizo. This world takes swords more seriously than Pen and rightfully so. Because between the War Period and now, not much time is set aside to really fix it.]

'So so.'

After handing over their papers to Anbu, he then escorted them to a secluded outdoor training area in the forest.

The emotions in his voice changed yet he still lowered the Trio. 'So what if they're smart, these dwarfs have nothing but brains, you need brains and strength to be a member of The Anbu.'

"However the three of you have been given a special test by Lord Hokage. If you graduate you will join my army if you fall you will return to where you came from and go to the Academy like a normal student. Besides you're intimidating with how small you are?"

The three of them were instantly furious, this was the first time they had met someone like this. He was narrow-minded and on top of a tall horse that was tall enough to make the people below him break their necks just to catch a glimpse. However they were unable to say anything as he was the one who had to pass through them. An irritating situation.

"The test objective is simple, you three are against me. If you can force me to use ninjustu, you win. Ready it? Start off.

As soon as he said start, the Trio disappeared like a ghost in the forest with the Sharingan active, they began to stalk its prey. 'When defeating an enemy that is much stronger than you, a direct approach will almost never work. You must weaken the enemy before entering to kill.' The words that Fugaku said during training had been strengthened and thoroughly beaten on their heads.

With the shade of the trees, they started throwing shuriken at their target. Hundreds of cloned shuriken were launched from three separate locations.

'They're good, but still young and naive.' Anbu jumped to the side and tried a battle throw to leave the impact area.

But Shuriken hits each other and changes direction, each of the three shuirken streams going in different directions in an attempt to trap him. 'DANI!' Confused he forced his right arm to the ground to stop its momentum and used his left hand to push off the ground carrying his foot into the air to do a flip then rolled behind a nearby tree to take cover.

Despite his best efforts through the Sharingan's eyes, he looks like he's moving at snail speed. From two directions one in front and to his left; shuriken was once again launched. He tried to avoid this by jumping right and onto the branch of the tree but he felt something unpleasant from behind and on it.

He was looking for the Giant fireball and behind him the same thing. He began to sweat profusely not only because of the heat but because of the pressure exerted by this innocent little brat.

'There is no Ninjutsu? WHAT IS THE THIRD GOD JOKE. THESE KIDS ARE MONSTERS. ANIMALS, WHAT THE UCHIHA DID TO RAISE THOSE ANIMALS.' His previous arrogance had been lost and in exchange was only respect.

He throws Kunai who has a rope attached to him on the highest and rightmost branch to avoid the coming calamity. As soon as he reached this branch he looked around to see the 15 Red Sharingan staring at him from all directions. It looked like a pack of wolves that were about to devour and a flock of sheep. 'THE SHARINGAN!!! ARE YOU SERIOUSLY THE THIRD GOD? WHAT THEY EAT THESE KIDS IN UCHIHA.'

"Do you still think we're too small and not intimidating?" But before he could answer, he heard something that soaked his entire body in cold sweat. From 15 Votes "Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!"
