Naruto: I'm Really Not a Pokémon

A huge snake covered in wounds jumped out of the water from the coastline of the Land of Fire, and spit out a large amount of soil and several Konoha ninjas including Orochimaru.

After landing, Orochimaru looked at the dying brown giant snake, pulled out the Kusanagi sword from his mouth, and swung it with his hand, relieving the giant snake's pain.

Then with a "bang", the giant snake's body turned into smoke and disappeared without a trace.

"Lord Orochimaru, the main injuries of Nara Jonin and Akimichi Jonin were due to exhaustion of chakra, and the rest of their injuries are not serious."

Yakushi Nono respectfully knelt on one knee and reported the situation to Orochimaru.

"Ah."

Orochimaru nodded indifferently, his mind still recalling that somewhat interesting little kid.

Although illusion was not his strongest skill, the little kid, who had only the strength of a Chunin at most, seemed to have no reaction at all.

It’s a pity that this good research material is a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village. I don’t know if I will have the chance to see him again in the future.

Orochimaru came back to his senses, looked at Yakushi Nono who was still kneeling on one knee, and spoke softly.

"Tell me why this mission failed."

Yakushi Nono organized his words and told Orochimaru in detail what happened today.

"I was careless at the time. I wasn't sure whether the other party had suspected my identity. I was worried that taking action on the spot would alert the enemy. It was not until the signal flare was launched in the camp that I realized the mission had failed."

"Haha, was it that little brat who discovered it? What an interesting little fellow."

Orochimaru licked his lips with some aftertaste and continued.

"Get up. I won't tell Danzo about this. You should help treat the wounded in the medical camp for the time being."

"Thank you, Orochimaru-sama!"

Yakushi Nono stood up respectfully and consciously carried the two unconscious jonin on his back.

However, Orochimaru waved his hand to stop him, and summoned another giant snake to carry away the two people and other corpses.

After returning to the camp, Qing and Kurishan Kushimaru were immediately sent to the medical tent.

Karuta Yagura was clearly here to replace the front-line commander, but as soon as he arrived at the camp, he went to rescue the pursuit team.

At this time, he was not busy handing over the position with the Xiguashan Puffer Ghost. Instead, he accompanied the Jianchuanju team to the medical tent.

However, the other party was the highest person in charge on the front line after all, and Jianchuan Ju and others could not control what the other party wanted to do, so they could only stay quietly with Qing.

Fortunately, doctors on the front line confirmed that although Qing's injuries were serious, they were still curable and there would be no sequelae.

This is similar to the judgment made by Jianchuan Ju himself.

After all, in such a large front-line medical force, there are many people whose medical skills are better than Jianchuan Ju's. Even Jianchuan Ju himself, given enough time, can completely heal Qing's injuries.

Not to mention the current head of the medical corps, who is even better than pharmacist Nonou in terms of medical skills alone.

It’s a pity that the other party is busy with management work most of the time. This is why Jianchuan Ju had been staying next to a spy to ask for medical advice.

As if seeing that the others had let go of their worries about Qing, Karuju Yagura also withdrew his gaze and turned to chat with Jianchuan Ju.

"I remember that Jianchuan Genin was a student in the same class as Zabuza?"

On the way back, the few of them had already briefly reported the general information of this pursuit mission to Gotachibana Yagura.

So Jianchuan Ju didn’t understand why the other party started asking about his identity again at this time?

'You're acting like you don't know me at all?' But Tachibana Kenkawa didn't dare to directly confront Yagura Karatachi, so she could only go along with what he said.

"Yes, but I didn't graduate from the Ninja Academy. I switched to medical ninja training and eventually became a genin as a medical ninja."

"I heard that you developed quite a few ninjutsu yourself?"

"Well, they are just minor ninjutsu, and they are still not as powerful as the Water Mirror Jutsu of the Karujutsu Jonin."

Jianchuan Ju didn't understand what was going on and started having an awkward conversation with Karuju Yagura.

"It's already amazing. I didn't expect that Jianchuan Genin can now kill Jonin alone. It's a pity that a genius like you is still just a Genin now."

"Thank you for your praise, Jounin Kuju. It was just a fluke."

"Tachibana, you don't seem to be a perception ninja? Have you ever considered transferring out of the perception team?"

Well, now Jianchuanju finally understood. It turned out that the reason they were chatting here for so long was to poach him because he had just changed jobs.

Although Karatachi Yagura is now the representative of the civilian faction and the front-line commander, and may even become the Mizukage in the future, he is really involved in too many whirlpools.

Moreover, his own captain is currently injured and in a coma. If he changes jobs at this time, he might have to change his surname to Lu in the future. Jianchuan Ju is ready to decisively reject the other party.

However, Gotachibana Yagura spoke first.

"There's no rush for this matter. You can discuss it with the Aoki jonin after he recovers and then make a decision."

After saying that, Goju Yagura turned and left the tent, leaving the three little ones looking at each other in the corner.

"Does Jonin Goju want Tachibana to be transferred under his command?" Mei Terumi, who had heard the whole thing, asked half-doubtfully.

"Maybe? But I don't have any intention of changing teams."

Although Qing never said that he would formally accept the team members as disciples, his actual actions had completely exceeded the scope of a captain, and Jianchuan Ju naturally would not think of changing his allegiance.

Just say it directly to save your teammates from having to think too much.

Zabuza on the side had a strange expression on his face, but he didn't say anything in the end.

After some busy treatment by the doctors of the medical team, Qing woke up from his coma.

However, his severely injured left leg has not yet fully recovered, and it is estimated that he will not be suitable for outdoor missions in the short term.

However, the previous leader of the perception squad, Zhongji, had already returned to the village for treatment after being injured, so Qing had no choice but to drag his injured leg and continue to be responsible for the overall coordination work at the front line.

It is indeed ironic that two consecutive commanders of the perception unit were ambushed and injured.

As a result, some senior officials in the camp have some distrust in the current strength of the perception team.

Fortunately, the commander-in-chief of the front line is now replaced by Yagura Karuji, who has some friendship with Ao, and the two have a certain tacit understanding in dealing with many things.

At least it's much more comfortable than when the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost was in charge of the camp.

Therefore, Jianchuan Ju didn't say anything to Qingduo about the previous attempt by Goju Yagura to poach his employees.

So as to avoid any rift between the two of them.

In the following days, perhaps because of the performance of Jianchuan Ju and the other two in the previous pursuit battle, Qing gained some confidence in the current strength of the three.

Now that he is injured and unable to move, Qing no longer simply arranges some routine patrol tasks.

You can rest assured to let the three little ones and other ninjas from the perception team go to the territory of the Fire Country to carry out some more dangerous tasks.

However, the conflict on the border of the Fire Nation is now intensifying, which makes everyone feel that a storm is about to come.

Chapter 76 Omens (One more chapter to follow)

"Teacher Qing, in your current state, why don't you put down the things in your hands for a while?"

Mei Terumi, who was peeling an apple for Ao, looked at Ao speechlessly while he was still processing the information.

Qing needs a checkup and a change of dressing today. As the only medical ninja in the team, this task will naturally be done by Jianchuan Ju.

The trio had just returned from completing a mission in the Land of Fire, but this time they were either too lucky or too unlucky. They followed another team of sensory ninjas in the Land of Fire for two days, but did not encounter any ninjas from Konoha.

Finally, they returned safely to the Whirlpool Island camp.

Because they are currently in a period of rest, Mei Terumi and the others decided to go with Tachibana Jianchuan to visit Qing.

However, few people expected that Qing would have to work with a scroll of intelligence in his arms even during the ten minutes it took to re-bandage and change the dressings.

"Some information, if known a second earlier, could directly determine the life or death of a ninja on the front line."

The three of them rolled their eyes. Qing is still young, but he has become more and more rigid and serious since he took over the work of the perception class.

In fact, Qingshou's job is more to assist Gojo Yagura in the personnel mobilization of the perception team. If there is any important emergency information, it will definitely be delivered to Gojo Yagura as soon as possible. There will be no chance for him to lie here and check it.

"Although the previous pursuit mission failed in the end, the achievement of killing the jonin will not be ignored. I have proposed to the jonin Karuji that you be temporarily promoted to chunin. As for the official promotion, we have to wait until the village's appointment comes down."

"Ah, he's already a Chunin?" Mei Terumi looked at her captain in surprise.

"Ming, are you okay? After all, it's been more than a year since you graduated. Zabuza and I have only been Genin for a few months."

Jianchuan Tachibana complained to Mei Terumi.

Judging from the promotion speed, in the original work, Shikamaru Nara lived during peacetime and was promoted to Chunin just over nine months after graduation.

In terms of age, Kakashi was promoted to Chunin at the age of 6 a few years ago.

I don’t know what Mei Terumi is so surprised about.

"In any case, the missions you will carry out in the future will be based on the standards of a Chunin team. As for the captain, I suggest that Tachibana be the captain."

Qing ignored the two disciples' quarrels and gave his own suggestions.

Mei Terumi and Zabuza on the side curled their lips at the same time, but did not raise any objections. At present, both of them recognized Jianchuan Tachibana in terms of strength and behavior.

"Then after you recover from your injury, Mr. Qing, will you still lead our team to carry out the mission?"

This is the issue that Jianchuan Ju is more concerned about. Although he killed an Uchiha Jonin, there are too many factors of sneak attack and coincidence.

If there is still a senior ninja like Qing to lead the team in the future, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the safety of the team.
