In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 38 Ye Cang and Maki

"It's different. You are not on the staff of the puppet army, so you can only get half of the salary. The elite combat troops do not consider you a temporary worker, so you can get the full salary. In addition, a Chunin will receive a subsidy of 10,000 ryo every month, and even if you retire, you will keep it for life until you die."

Jian Ye explained to Qing Shui.

"That's okay too."

Puppet troops and elite combat troops are equal in rank, and unless there are positions such as captain or deputy captain, their salaries are the same.

In other words, his salary increased by half plus a monthly Chunin subsidy of 10,000 ryo.

Getting promoted and getting a raise in salary is naturally a good thing.

That night, Jian Ye invited all the members of the third team of the sixth team to a gathering.

Although it’s not as good as the one Chiyo invited me last time, it’s still delicious.

The next day, Shimizu packed up his ninja tools and clothes, and went to the Kazekage Building to find Ebizo. He stamped and signed the documents before he was officially promoted to Chunin.

The luck gained by improving one's status in the Sand Village, the top force in the ninja world, is much greater than if one were to conquer a small gang or rob a street in Gotham by becoming an avatar.

The progress bar of luck instantly jumped from 20.9% to 45.3%, and was still advancing slowly.

Afterwards, he received his Chunin vest from the warehouse and headed to the second training ground.

He got to meet his new teammates here.

……

……

When Qingshui arrived at the agreed location of the second training ground, someone was already waiting there.

She was a tall and slender young girl wearing a backless dress. She had a pretty face and looked slightly older than Qingshui.

"Hello, my name is Ye Cang, I'm twelve years old, and I'm a newly promoted Chunin last year. I'm good at Wind Style and Fire Style. If I'm not mistaken, you should also be a newcomer assigned to Team 9 this time, right?"

Ye Cang stretched out his hand to Qingshui generously.

"Hello, my name is Shimizu, I'm a Chunin, and I'm temporarily seconded from the puppet unit."

Qingshui smiled and shook hands with Ye Cang.

After all, they will be comrades-in-arms who will rely on each other for life and death during the mission, so it is necessary to establish a good relationship with them.

Moreover, in Qingshui's memory, Ye Cang was not an unknown person and must be extraordinary.

The two chatted for a while, and the remaining two people in the team arrived one after another.

"Maki, Chunin, good at wind escape, earth escape and swordsmanship, eleven years old."

Another "acquaintance".

In the future, Maki would be able to become the guiding jonin of Rasa's three children. At that time, Maki's status in the Sand Village was comparable to that of Kakashi of Konoha. He must have been one of the top elite jonin in the Sand Village at that time.

It seems that my team is not ordinary.

The configuration is also very reasonable. Ye Cang is a typical ninjutsu-type ninja, Maki is good at ninjutsu, one close and the other long-range, and the puppeteer himself has both, so he should be responsible for the responsibility of the third support position in battle.

Thinking of this, Qingshui turned his gaze to the last person in the team.

This is a young jonin. Like Maki, he has a white cloth on his head, but he looks a bit more handsome. The long sword on his back shows that he should be a good swordsman. "Have you all introduced yourselves? Now it's my turn as the superior."

The jonin coughed twice and said:

"My name is Feng Shang Qianlan, I'm a jonin, I'm 29 years old, I'm good at wind jutsu, fire jutsu and lightning jutsu, and my swordsmanship is also acceptable. From now on, I will be the captain of your ninth team. In the next week, I will take you to do some simple tasks to improve the team's tacit understanding."

Feng Shang Qianlan introduced himself while looking at his three new subordinates.

Before coming, Chiyo and Ebizo naturally gave him some instructions.

Shimizu is a top priority, a candidate chosen by Chiyo and Ebizo to be the next generation leader of the puppet army.

Ye Cang's talent in ninjutsu is the highest among the new generation of Sand Village in recent years. Maki is slightly inferior to Ye Cang, but he is also very worth training.

This squad is not easy to lead. The main thing is to develop the potential of these three subordinates as much as possible while ensuring that they do not die prematurely.

Once they are trained, they will at least be three elite jonin, and there is even a chance that one of them can become a "Kage".

The reason why he, an elite jonin, was chosen to lead these three people was, on the one hand, that his expertise in ninjutsu and swordsmanship could provide certain guidance to these three people, and on the other hand, to serve as a bodyguard for these three very potential chuunins, and at the same time complete some tasks that are in line with the team's capabilities to allow the three of them to get training.

"I believe in what the Second Kazekage once said: actions speak louder than words. On the way here, I have already accepted a B-rank mission for you."

Shimizu, Yekura, and Maki looked at each other.

In fact, they all felt that starting off with a B-level mission might be a bit too difficult.

From the time Shimizu graduated from the Ninja School to the time he was promoted to Chunin, except for that one time when his mission was accidentally upgraded from A-level to S-level, he only performed three B-level missions in total, and the last one directly resulted in him being injured and having to return to the village to recuperate.

Although my strength has improved a lot now, shouldn’t I do some simple tasks first when I’m getting used to it?
But since there is such an elite jonin to back us up, it's okay.

……

……

Since joining the team, Qingshui has never done low-level missions.

In other words, after becoming a Chunin, he was no longer able to take on D-level missions during the Genin period. Unless he became a Jonin who guided a new generation of Genin in the future, he probably would never have the chance to take on D-level missions again in his life.

The current team usually focuses on B-level tasks. If there are no suitable tasks, they can choose some simple C-level tasks to practice, or they can rest or practice.

When it comes to guiding cultivation, Feng Shang Qianlan is quite knowledgeable. Whether it's Wind Style, Fire Style, or Lightning Style, he obviously has a very deep level of proficiency in them. He even knows some basic medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques.

However, Feng Shang Qianlan was unable to give Qingshui more guidance in puppetry, but that didn't mean that no one taught Qingshui puppetry.

He is still a member of the puppet army. He can usually go to the hospital to ask for advice from Shihu who is still recuperating. Occasionally, he will continue to learn from Xie and borrow books from his house.

It is worth mentioning that Chiyo and Ebizo both promised that Shimizu could consult them when they were free.

It was also from that moment that Shimizu truly confirmed the changes in his identity in the Sand Village.

Show your talent, get the attention of higher-ups, join a faction, get more resources to increase your strength, and improve your status as quickly as possible.

This is a method that can be used to elevate one's status no matter which force one is in, and it is also the method with the least consequences and the most stable foundation.

There is no doubt that Shimizu has now received intensive training from Chiyo and Ebizo.
