Naruto: I'm Really Not a Pokémon

A short, thick wooden stake with a shuriken nailed to it suddenly appeared in mid-air.

"Substitution jutsu?! When did it happen?"

Ikaruto looked around in slight astonishment.

After all, ordinary substitution techniques are just one of the three basic body techniques.

Not only does one need to make hand seals to release ninjutsu, but one also needs to prepare a substitute in advance to predict attacks. To put it bluntly, it's just a crude trick.

Usually it can only be used unnoticed in a duel with a huge gap in strength, when the strong is playing tricks on the weak.

I didn't even notice when Jianchuan Ju formed a seal and used a substitute!

At this moment, a strong wind blew from behind my head.

"Behind?"

The Ikaru people didn't have time to think much.

Using his right foot as a pillar and exerting force from his waist, he made a standard upper-level backslash, preparing to chop the attacker's neck to force him back.

At the same time, the left leg follows up as if to kick.

However, the Ikarashi's short sword did not hit the target as expected.

The one who attacked him was actually the frog that had been splashing water next to him since the beginning!

The blue frog stretched out its little white hand, which was not much bigger than a cat's paw, and was about to slap him.

At this moment, because he did not hear the sound of water and misjudged the incoming target, the dagger's counterattack had already missed.

It's too late to change tactics.

Ikarashito could only forcibly adjust the angle of his side kick.

Due to the sudden change of tactics, the little frog was kicked away by the kick with little power.

But all this is meaningless now.

A sharp kunai was silently placed on Ikaruto's neck from behind.

And on the arm holding the kunai, there was a blood-stained shuriken stuck in it.

"The winner of the first group of the actual combat test is Jianchuan Ju."

[Ding! Defeat a ninja school student for the first time and unlock the achievement "Lollipop? Here you go!"]

Jianchuan Ju naturally ignored the system prompt.

He nodded to the Chunin teacher who spoke, then put away his kunai and walked towards the little frog that was kicked away.

Seeing that the Chunin teacher had already announced the result, Ikarashito didn't dare to refute anything.

In the end, he could only glare at Jianchuan Ju hatefully, and returned to his class in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

The result of this battle was obviously beyond the expectations of the students watching.

The ninja school students watching were immediately in an uproar.

They had seen it clearly just now. Just as Igarashi turned around to attack the sneak attacking blue frog, the wooden stake that fell to the ground behind him suddenly "banged" and turned into Jianchuanju again.

That wooden stake is not a substitution technique, but a transformation technique.

The little frog also followed the tactics agreed upon before the start. When it saw Jianchuan Ju using the transformation technique, it immediately rushed forward to attack and attract the enemy's attention.

Finally, after undoing his transformation, Tachibana Kanegawa ignored the shuriken still stuck in his hand, rushed forward quickly, and subdued Igarashi Ashito with a kunai, achieving the final victory.

"Kanagawa Tachibana actually defeated Ikarashito? That seemingly weak summoned beast is so useful?"

"Pfft~ That's your understanding? No wonder the results are so bad! Jianchuan's summoned beast is just a distraction, how strong does it need to be?"

"Is that the point? Forming hand seals with one hand in a ninja tool bag is a bit too much, isn't it?"

Jianchuan Ju ignored the discussion of his classmates and comforted the little frog that had just been kicked and hurt.

"Lanzai, the timing of the slap was perfect, thanks to you!"

After saying that, Jianchuan Ju put it on his shoulder again, put on a sunny smile on his face again, and walked back to the team.

"Ju, how did you do that last transformation?"

A classmate who had a good relationship with Jianchuan Ju saw him come back and immediately came forward to ask.

Jianchuan Ju did not hide anything and took out a bullet wrapped in a bandage from his ninja tool bag and showed it to the other party.

"Some little tricks that are not very presentable. They were the failed attempts at making smoke bombs in the Ninja Tool Class. Later, we discovered that the detonation effect was similar to the smoke produced by the Three Body Technique."

"Just now, I just detonated the smoke bomb, then formed hand seals in the smoke and released the transformation technique."

"What? A failed smokescreen. So it was just luck?"

Jianchuan Ju looked at the other person, smiled back, and didn't say anything else.

Then he took out a bandage and began to bandage his arm.

Although his arm was injured, Jianchuan Ju was not planning to go to the infirmary to rest.

After a simple bandage, he was ready to continue watching the next match.

Because even though I have won, now is not the time to relax.

"Midterm combat test, group two, Zabuza Momochi vs. Lake Nobi."

I’m a new author and I’m looking forward to your advice.

Chapter 2 I, travel through time, have a system

After finishing a day of classes and training, Jianchuan Ju dragged his tired body back home.

It was not until he sat in the porch and looked at himself in the mirror, who was only eight or nine years old, that Jianchuan Ju put away the fake smile on his face.

Ju sighed helplessly.

It turns out that imitating other people’s lives is such a tiring thing.

"Lan Zai, go put away the ninja tools first, I'll come and prepare dinner later."

"Eh(._.)quack~"

The little frog looked at Jianchuan Ju with a little worry, stretched out his little hand and gently patted the boy's calf.

Finally, he picked up the ninja tool bag and jumped towards the tool room.

Jianchuan Ju looked at himself in the mirror and fell into deep thought.

In fact, some more perceptive classmates and teachers have already noticed Jianchuan Ju's recent changes, but fortunately, most people in the Hidden Mist Village are relatively indifferent and don't care too much about what happens to others.

Jianchuan Orange, its original name is no longer important.

In fact, I am not a native of this world. A month ago, I was just an ordinary person working from nine to five.

Since I was almost hit by a truck twice, I felt that I might be unlucky, so I took a long vacation and planned to rest at home for a while.

However, when he woke up, he found himself traveling to the Ninja World and became a 9-year-old war orphan from the Hidden Mist Village.

Fortunately, I inherited all the memories of the original owner after traveling through time.

As a half-2D fan, I can't say I know the anime Naruto in detail, but at least I have watched the plot in its entirety and understand its general development.

Jianchuan Ju naturally knew clearly what kind of place the ninja world was.

Since the end of the Warring States Period, the ninja world has established the ninja village system, with the original intention of peaceful development and mutual restraint.

However, the actual situation has not changed much. The Ninja World War breaks out every ten years or so, and local confrontations and the killing of ninjas due to missions have never stopped.

Not to mention that there are some guys who are powerful but not very smart and want to exterminate entire clans, massacre villages, and destroy the world.

Even the Konoha Village where the original protagonist Naruto Uzumaki lives is not peaceful.

They said that the village was built to prevent children from going to the battlefield, but every time there was a war, children in their teens or even a few years old were sent to fight on the front lines.

However, Jianchuan Ju is actually more miserable. The Hidden Leaf Village at least still has superficial peace and unity.

The Hidden Mist Village is too lazy to even do these hypocritical things, and the implementation of the blood mist policy makes the atmosphere of the entire village even more cruel and cold-blooded.

However, all this is just potential danger.

The biggest and most pressing impact on Jianchuanju at the moment is the Ninja School graduation exam.

All students of the Hidden Mist Ninja School, if they want to become official ninjas, must kill a fellow student in the graduation exam, which is a cruel exam with a mortality rate of at least 50%.

The graduation exam for Jianchuan Ju's class is in four months.

Moreover, as a time traveler who knows the plot, Jianchuan Ju is under much greater pressure than ordinary students.

Because he inherited the original owner's memory after traveling through time, he immediately discovered that he had a classmate named Momochi Zabuza.

Jianchuan Ju knew clearly that this guy in the original Naruto was the one who killed all the students who took the exam when they graduated from the Ninja School, forcing the Hidden Mist Village to cancel this cruel exam.

In other words, if Tachibana Kanegawa cannot defeat Zabuza Momochi, his pass rate in this test will be 0.

As an ordinary person who traveled from a peaceful world, Jianchuan Ju just wants to live a stable and comfortable life.

At least he has to live until the Boruto era.
