Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 425 The preliminary test begins

Feel the gentle sea breeze and the afterglow of the sunset.

Xiaonan, who had just walked out of the tea room, was still a little confused.

Although we finally found out that what Jianchuan Ju meant by "replacing the daimyo" was not to kill the daimyo directly and blatantly and establish himself as king with great fanfare.

But what Jianchuan Ju envisioned was to secretly use illusions or transformation techniques to control the daimyo, and then use the influence among the daimyo and the funds of the Rain Country to develop the military forces of the Hidden Rain Village.

Show weakness to the outside world and give up some of your interests, recruit war orphans and wandering ninjas internally, and gradually establish a new regime.

All of this seems to sound so far-fetched.

But the only thing Xiaonan understood was.

If the Akatsuki organization truly controls the Rain Country, they can issue a war commission to the Hidden Mist Village in the name of the daimyo.

The Hidden Mist Village will send enough elite ninjas to help the Hidden Rain Village get through the most difficult times.

"Think about it carefully. Does Akatsuki only want peace in the Hidden Rain Village, or does it want peace in the entire Rain Country?"

This was the last question Jianchuan Ju asked Xiaonan.

"It seems that for the final exam, Yahiko must come to Umigiri Castle."

Xiaonan thought so.

No matter whether it is the former Akatsuki organization or the current Rain Village, the final decision will still be made by the leader Yahiko.

Jianchuan Ju said so much to Xiaonan today, but it was mostly just a precaution for the upcoming meeting with Yahiko.

This is a subversive decision for most people in the ninja world, and it is impossible to be finalized with just a few words of discussion.

In fact, for Tachibana Jianchuan, whether it was assisting Yahiko in controlling the Hidden Rain Village or now wanting to push the Akatsuki organization to replace the daimyo, it was not just out of helping a friend.

Weaken Uchiha Obito who is hiding in the dark, find solid allies for the Hidden Mist Village, and lay the foundation for unifying the entire ninja world in the future.

When Jianchuan Ju took the position of Mizukage, many things inevitably needed to be considered from the perspective of interests.

Of course, as a friend and partner, Jianchuan Tachibana still gave the choice to Yahiko himself.

For him, it is not just the result that he wants, the process leading to the result is equally important.

If you need to abandon everything and break the bottom line to achieve the final result.

Then unifying the ninja world would be meaningless to him.

After seeing Xiaonan off, Jianchuan Ju sat alone in the tea room, looking at the empty teacup and shaking his head with laughter.

In fact, he himself doesn't like drinking tea very much, nor does he know much about tea.

However, since he was already sitting in the tea room, Jianchuan Ju would habitually choose to drink all the tea before leaving.

"Mitsuki-sama, for our next trip, are we still going to the island where we have our second exam?"

Chunyu, who had been waiting outside, immediately came up to ask when she saw Jianchuanju come out.

However, Jianchuan Ju looked up at the sun which was about to set and shook his head.

"Forget it. It's not an important matter anyway. I can still see it during the exam tomorrow."

After saying this, Jianchuan Ju waved his hand, indicating that Chunyu didn't need to follow him, and he returned alone towards the base facing the setting sun.

“Well, there are so many people!”

Ringo Yuuri looked at so many candidates in the examination room and subconsciously reached for the two swords behind her.

But it's no wonder she would make such an exclamation.

In the huge examination room, there were nearly two hundred candidates sitting or standing in groups of three or four.

And perhaps out of caution towards other candidates, basically not many people would get too close to others outside their team.

This made the originally spacious examination room completely packed. "That's why I told you to come early. With so many people here, we must be the last to arrive."

Mangetsu heard Ringo Yuyuri's sigh and complained quietly behind her.

"What can I do! Master Xiaoji has conjured up a bunch of apples, and I have to help sort them out!"

Saigyouji Kabuto looked at his two teammates who were already blaming each other before the exam even started, and he was speechless.

'Or just give up.'

Kabuto looked around.

Although the Genin taking part in this exam were generally young, the three members of his team were still the youngest among these candidates.

He himself didn't even find a guy of the same height as him on the field.

Even after long-term teaching by Jianchuan Ju, Dou didn't think that the strength of his team would be much worse than others.

But his age disadvantage still makes him a little worried.

Not to mention his two teammates.
There is definitely no problem with the strength, it's just the tacit understanding.
Just as Dou was thinking this, a somewhat cold female voice came from behind him.

"Hey, from Kirigakure, could you please not block the way here?"

Upon hearing this, Dou immediately turned around and saw a purple-haired girl with a dead look in her eyes, looking coldly at the three of them.

For some reason, Kabuto seemed to see his former self in the girl's dull eyes.

"Have you lost hope of living?"

Just as Dou was thinking this.

Among the two people following behind the girl, who seemed to be her teammates, the one with the hedgehog hair urged impatiently again.

"Little devil from Kirigakure, you are blocking us here, are you trying to affect our exams?"

Ringo Ayuri and Hozuki Mangetsu, who were walking in front, obviously heard the conversation between the few people.

The two men immediately turned around and glared at each other.

"Are all the guys in Konoha so arrogant?! Do you want to?"

Just when Ringo Yuyuri was about to draw out his weapons and teach these bastards of Konoha a lesson.

"Swish, swish, swish~" followed by a series of slight sounds of breaking through the air.

A clear and loud bell suddenly rang from the podium at the front of the examination room.

The candidates who were attracted by the bell were shocked to find that on the originally empty podium, there were suddenly dozens of ninjas wearing Kirigakure forehead protectors.

But apparently not all candidates were vigilant enough. Even when the bell rang, there were still many people whispering below.

"Quiet!"

"Exam time is up, everyone please stop making noise!"

After saying this, Utsumi Toshio looked around the entire examination room with a sharp gaze.

How could these fledgling genin resist the intimidating aura possessed by the jonin who walked out of the bloody battlefield?

The originally noisy examination room suddenly became silent. Even a few Genin with bad character seemed to have seen an endless sea of ​​blood and corpses, and subconsciously took two steps back.

Seeing this, Utsumi Toshio nodded with satisfaction and spoke slowly.

"I am the examiner of the first exam of the Joint Chunin Selection, Utsumi Toshio."

"From now on, all candidates must take their seats according to their examination numbers! Wait for the examination papers to be distributed! Otherwise, it will be deemed that they have waived their examination qualification!"
