Taniguchi squinted his eyes and yawned, looking like he hadn't had a good sleep.

"Tianguchi, it seems that you are not in good spirits. What did you do last night?" Sansuke glanced at Taniguchi and asked in a plain tone.

"No, I did nothing last night." Taniguchi replied with a smile: "As people get older, they are like this, and they always feel that they are not sleeping enough."

"Is that so? Thank you for your hard work. You seem to be fifty years old, and you still have to start practicing from scratch. It's so hard." Sanzhu said without looking back.

Taniguchi sighed after hearing this. He originally thought that he would spend time in the Anbu Forging Team until retirement, and then enjoy his old age in the village.

The result is now...

At the age of fifty-three, he was apprenticing to a nine-year-old boy.

Life is impermanent...

Taniguchi sighed and stopped talking.

After this conversation, I felt that I was not sleepy and became a little more energetic.

It's just past four o'clock in the morning, and the sky is still gray and the sun hasn't rise yet.

And during this period when we were supposed to be lying on the bed and sleeping heavily, the "Sheng" of Taniguchi, Kita and Anbu, a group of four were on a small wooden boat.

"Master of the Son, where are we going?" Qingta, who was rowing the boat hard, wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead and wondered, "Aren't we going to study alchemy?"

"Well, that's right, we are going to study alchemy." Sanzhu nodded.

"But...isn't alchemy a theoretical science?" said Keita Na. "Shouldn't we sit in the study or the laboratory to study?"

After hearing this, Taniguchi nodded repeatedly. If he was in the study or laboratory, he wouldn't have to get up so early.

"There are some things that cannot be learned in books." Sanzhu smiled. Standing at the bow of the boat, he had already seen the destination of the trip.

The only uninhabited island in the territory of Fire.

Keita's rowing speed was quite fast, but in just over fifteen minutes, the boat of the mourning group had already docked.

The mourning assistant jumped from the small wooden boat to the island, breathing in big mouthfuls of fishy air, and was refreshed.

"Keiguchi, come here." The mourning aid waved to Taniguchi and Keigata. After hearing this, they jumped off the boat and came to the mourning aid.

"Before the trial practice begins, I want to ask you a question." Sanzhu looked at the two of them with a smile.

"What's the problem? Master of the Deadly Assistant." I don't know if it was an illusion, but Taniguchi always felt that the Deadly Assistant's smile had a bit of cunning.

"How is your two of you progressing in ninjutsu?"

"I have never practiced ninjutsu." Keita replied embarrassedly, "I am too stupid. I have no other advantages except this body of energy."

"I should be at the level of the Chunin Nin. Both the B-level ninjutsu of Fire Escape and Earth Escape can be released with ease." Taniguchi replied proudly.

"Is that?" The smile on Sansuke's face became even brighter. "Sure enough, my decision to go to Anbu to invite 'Shang' to accompany him was correct."

"'Shang', I'll ask you next."

"Shang" wearing a mask instantly came to the valley entrance, and saw a purple chakra condensed from her hands, and then slapped hard at the valley entrance that had not reacted at all.

After being hit hard, Gukou let out a muffled groan, then fell to the ground and fainted.

"Mengjiao! What do you want to do?" Seeing that Taniguchi was knocked down for no reason, Keita stared at Mengjiao angrily.

"Don't be nervous, this is just a sealing technique." The voice of 'Shang' came from under the mask, "He fainted just because chakra suddenly lost control. He woke up after a while and was fine."

Sealing Chakra? Qing was too confused. What did he want to do when he was helpless?

"I just said that there are some things that cannot be learned from books." Sansuke smiled and took out a dagger from his pocket and handed it to Keita.

"This is practice. During the practice, alchemy and ninjutsu are prohibited." Looking at Kei Tai's face puzzled, after he took the dagger, the mourning assistant explained.

"In the next month, you two will survive on this deserted island. This is my trial practice. Only after passing the trial practice can I teach you a deeper level of alchemy knowledge."

"Try to practice?" Qingta said in confusion, "That means, aren't we considered your apprentices?"

"Well, I will only admit that you are my formal apprentices after passing the trial practice."

The mourning man's face was normal. Although the names of Keita and Taniguchi were already on the apprentice system, the mourning man still wanted to go through such a test to see if their understanding was suitable for practicing alchemy.

"There are two requirements for passing the trial practice."

"One, ninjutsu and alchemy are prohibited, and you can survive on this island for one month."

"Two, think about the sentence 'One is all, all is one', and I will come here to pick you up in a month. At that time, you need to give me an answer to this sentence."

“One...one month?”

Qing was too shocked, "Master of the Lost Help, aren't you staying here to accompany us?"

"Of course not. This is your trial practice, not mine. Why should I stay with you?"

Sanzua and 'Shang' returned to the small boat, and he grabbed the oars, "Come on next, what I said just now, just tell him directly when Taniguchi wakes up. I'll go back first, and I'll go to Ninja School later."

"Is it more important to go back to class than to the two of us apprentices?" Keita's mouth twitched, as if several black lines were pulled down from his forehead.

Looking at the dagger in his hand and the valley entrance where he was gradually moving away from the small wooden boat, he looked at the dagger in his hand and the one who said he had fallen asleep, but now he seemed to be asleep and was snoring happily. Even a good old man like Keita, who was not good at speaking, could not help but roar.

What is this!!!

************************************

"Sir Naruto, is this really good?"

In the Naruto's office, Sarutobi Hinako was smiling happily at the crystal ball in his hand. In front of him, a white-haired middle-aged man under thirty frowned as he looked at the helpless figure on the crystal ball.

"Well, no problem." Sarutobi Hinazawa happily pushed the crystal ball aside. "The boy Morisu is quite interesting. I originally thought he just wanted to throw Keita and Taniguchi on the uninhabited island and torture him. Judging from this, he really wanted to accept the two of them as apprentices."

"Does the Ancient Force need to be sent to the unmanned island to monitor and protect?" asked the white-haired man.

"No, this uninhabited island has abundant supplies. Although chakra is sealed, the cultivation level of physical skills is still there, and they cannot starve to death." Sarutobi Hinata waved his hand and signaled that the white-haired man should not care about such things.

"Better than this small thing, let's continue to talk about our big things."

"Report the information obtained from the front."

"Captain of the Dark Force, Hashiki Shuomo."
