Naruto: I'm Really Not a Pokémon

After tracking the two men on the sea for a while, Qing found that he could not get closer. He was also a little worried about his three disciples, so he simply gave up the pursuit and chose to return.

When they got closer to the island, they noticed the pirate sailboat and were afraid that something might have happened, so they immediately sped up and rushed over.

But after the reunion, Qing was still a little surprised to see the pirate corpses on the beach and so many children rescued by the three little ones.

He looked at Zabuza, who was wrapped in bandages, and simply asked directly.

"Let's not talk about that side. What happened on your side? How did Zabuza get hurt so badly?"

The three of them were a little unresponsive for a moment, looking at each other.

Well, Mei Terumi only had her left calf injured, and after treatment and bandaging, it didn't look serious.

Because Jianchuan Ju's injury was on the chest, the bandage was basically covered by his outer clothes after it was wrapped. Only the scratches on the clothes and the bloodstains that could not be identified showed that he seemed to be injured.

Only Zabuza, who had multiple bandages covering his body for minor injuries and whose lower face and neck were already wrapped in bandages, felt as if he had been chopped by a sword.

It was Mei Terumi who broke the silence first.

"Teacher Qing, after you leave..."

As the acting captain, Mei Terumi recounted in detail what happened to the three of them on the island that night.

During this period, Qing did not interrupt Terumi Mei's narration, but at the end Qing still glanced at the three of them and spoke in a serious voice.

"Why didn't you send out a flare for help?"

When Qing opened his mouth, he controlled the three little ones for two seconds. Now they were really embarrassed.

Zabuza, unusually, spoke up in a low voice to defend himself.

"I don't have any signal flares on me."

Jianchuan Ju didn't have any flares either, but it was hard to say. If he also passed the buck, then the entire responsibility would fall on Mei Terumi, the acting captain.

But in fact, before attacking the camp, the three of them thought that there was no need to interrupt Qing's investigation when dealing with a group of ordinary pirates.

Later, after they attacked the pirate ship and found that the opponent was really difficult to deal with, the three of them were so focused on the battle at hand that they completely forgot about asking for help.

Terumim thought that perhaps it was because he, as the acting captain, did not consider things comprehensively enough, which led to his teammates getting hurt, and he admitted his mistake in a depressed mood.

"Teacher Qing, yes"

Ao's expression returned to gentleness and he interrupted Mei Terumi's words.

"Judging from the results, you did a good job. This mission is quite complicated and the difficulty is far beyond the capabilities of a Genin. I will report to the village in detail after I return."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

He immediately handed over some information that he had previously searched in the camp and on the pirate ship to Qing, but there was no crucial information.

Qing then checked the bodies of the two Chunins, Yugui and Yuya, and unexpectedly, he made a discovery that the other three had not noticed.

Holding two teeth engraved with strange curse marks in his hands, Qing examined them carefully in the sunlight.

"It's a very crude sealing technique. Nowadays, very few forces use this method to control their dead soldiers."

Upon learning this information, the team members looked even more serious.

After all, we knew before that there must be something complicated behind what these pirates did.

However, the strength of Yugui and Yuya was witnessed by all three of them.

Being able to hire such powerful pirates to work for you and being able to train such Chunins as death warriors and instruct them to become pirates are two completely different concepts.

Even ordinary small ninja villages would not be willing to waste their combat power in the latter way.

After all, Qing, as a senior ninja, was able to keep his composure and spoke first.

"Let's take these kids back to Apple Village and complete the mission first."

"Yes" x3

Since Qing had given the instructions, Jianchuan Ju was the first to relax. He immediately ran to the port and organized the children to board the ship.

If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. I am just a new Genin, and the most important thing is to think about how to improve my own strength.

But we also have to thank the pirates for bringing back their main ship, otherwise with so many children, the four of them would have to control the small boats in the port to take them back to the Water Kingdom.

Although this unnamed island is not far from the coastline of the Water Country, it is still difficult to control a ship through water escape at sea.

For ninjas who are not skilled in operating boats, it would be more convenient for them to just run across the sea.

Needless to say.

The Blue Team sent all the kidnapped children to the pirate ship one after another, and also stuffed the bodies of the two Chunins into the sealing scroll.

Although there are sealing spells on the other party's teeth, the village's intelligence analysis team will most likely not be able to obtain any information from their heads.

However, the corpse itself can sometimes provide some information, so Qing decided to leave this matter to professionals.

Finally, Tachibana Kanagawa helped the somewhat dazed red-haired girl onto the plank, and looked back at the nameless island one last time.

"Is this mission completed in excess? I hope there won't be any more troubles in the future."

Chapter 33 Follow-up

The return voyage was smooth and did not take much time.

However, when the pirate ship approached Apple Village, they were greeted by villagers holding various weapons and with hatred on their faces.

There was no way. Although several people took down the pirate flag, the black sails of the pirate ship were still too hateful.

Besides, this ship had only just come to Apple Village to plunder, which meant that the villagers didn’t have any long-range weapons, otherwise the welcome to Team Qing might have been even warmer.

Fortunately, Daz and Hugo had already returned to the village, and when they saw the few people get off the boat, there were no misunderstandings.

"Dad! Mom!"

Just as Jianchuan Ju and his companions got off the boat with the seven kidnapped children from Apple Village, all the other children ran crying to their surviving family members.

Only the little red-haired girl who had been following Jianchuan Ju since she got on the ship was still standing beside him in a daze.

However, the little girl was not unresponsive. Her body was shaking, tears in her eyes were slowly flowing down her cheeks, and she stared blankly at the figure standing in front of the villagers.

Hugo, the man rushed to the little girl like a madman and hugged the girl's thin body.

"Ameyuri~ My little apple, I'm so glad you're okay."

Even though his daughter was kidnapped, this middle-aged man was still strong enough to rush to the Hidden Mist Village alone to launch the mission. This middle-aged man, who looked haggard from beginning to end, now hugged his daughter tightly and burst into tears.

Everyone felt emotional when seeing this scene. Even some children from other villages who were still on the boat were infected by the atmosphere and started crying uncontrollably.

Seeing the scene around him, Jianchuan Ju felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, but then he wondered if he was being too hypocritical.

I had clearly never thought about saving those ninja school students from Zabuza before, but now I felt moved by saving a few strange children.

I am really bad at this.

and many more!

Jianchuan Ju suddenly widened his eyes and stared in amazement at the red-haired girl he had rescued.

"Yuri Yu? Apple Village? Yuri Ringo???"

My goodness, this somewhat silly kid is actually the holder of the 'Thunder Blade*Ya' among the future second generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the lightning style genius Ringo Ayuri who died young?

The killer who, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, used two lightning swords and superb lightning-style ninjutsu to strike down the lightning-style ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village and made them flee in all directions?

Now that I think about it, the kid's shark-like fangs and red hair are exactly the characteristics of Ringo Ayuri.

But I don’t know if there’s a genetic problem on the Water Country side, there are just too many people with fangs.

People like Mangetsu Hozuki, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Juuzou Biwa, all of them have sharp teeth.

So Jianchuanju never paid much attention to this before.

No, if you think about it this way, these fangs are also members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

Ever since I traveled through time and found out that my name contained the character "橘", I had secretly wondered if I could get into the fruit group of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and get a ninja sword to play with.

I just realized now that I have this neat row of white teeth. Will it make me look a little out of place in the future?

Thinking of this, Jianchuan Tachibana turned his head and looked at Momochi Zabuza who was in a daze beside him.

Jianchuan Ju knew that although this guy had a bandage on the lower half of his face, he actually had a mouth full of small fangs.

"Hey! What's that look in your eyes?!"

Zabuza, who was watching the group of crying kids getting off the boat out of boredom, seemed to sense Jianchuan Tachibana's gaze and immediately glared back fiercely.

"Haha, don't be so sensitive Zabuza, I just thought you seemed to have grown taller in the past few days."

"Go to hell!" Zabuza became even more furious upon hearing this, and he wanted to draw his dagger immediately and fight to the death with Jianchuan Tachibana.

"Okay, you two."

Mei Terumi stopped her two stupid teammates speechlessly, then walked up to Qing and asked.

"Teacher Qing, what are you going to do with these children from other villages?"

"Let's talk to Village Chief Daz first. After all, some of the children's hometowns may have been completely destroyed, and it won't be possible to send all the other children back in a short time."

"Do you want to entrust the villagers of Apple Village to send these children back?" Jianchuan Ju also came over and interrupted.
