Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 12 Is this guy a second-generation reincarnation?

Outside the short book street.

Jiraiya was full of vigor, his eyes shining.

Behind him, the three men were all panting heavily.

"Huff, huff—"

tired!

too tired!

Jingyan had considered that wearing weighted leg wraps might be tiring, but he didn't expect it to be this tiring.

Jiraiya chuckled.

mock up!

Still can't handle you guys?

He looked around and asked, "How are you? Can you still walk?"

"able!"

The three spoke in unison.

Jiraiya nodded: "Then let's go. We need to find the employer as soon as possible, lest the debt collector runs away and the mission fails."

"Walk!"

Kakashi gritted his teeth and followed Jiraiya's pace.

He values ​​his mission most.

Failure on the mission is worse than death!

Jingyan followed behind, inwardly sighing with admiration—

Jiraiya is truly a great teacher!

The seemingly ordinary leg wraps were actually the result of in-depth observation and calculation, designed to deplete their physical strength to a level similar to that of Kurenai Yuhi.

In this way, I could rest during breaks on the road and while running, and in the end, I didn't miss the task.

Achieving multiple goals at once.

He and Kakashi were just tired.

Jingyan was panting heavily, his legs felt like lead, and he was mentally calculating—

Given the current situation, my physical condition might not be as good as Kakashi's, but I am faster than Kakashi because I have the advantage of master-level Body Flicker Technique.

That's normal.

Kakashi started training his body from a young age. Although his predecessor had also undergone some training, he truly began his rigorous training after transmigrating.

There are no shortcuts to physical training.

Unless, like Yakushi Kabuto, one undergoes direct cell transplantation to alter one's genes and constitution.

With unwavering resolve, Kyohiko quickly caught up with Jiraiya's pace.

Tansaku Street is very bustling.

This place is a notorious den of iniquity in the surrounding area.

Many wealthy people and merchants from the Land of Rivers and even the Land of Wind come here to gamble and seek pleasure; sometimes, ninjas also come.

such as--

Jiraiya knew this place very well. He walked from the main road into the alley, winding his way through the alley as if he were returning home.

Soon, the plaque of "Qinghua Pavilion" appeared before my eyes.

Arrived!

"Teacher is amazing, you remember all of this, I'm so confused."

Kurenai couldn't help but sigh.

Jingyan chimed in, "They're obviously regulars."

Kakashi nodded repeatedly.

"What are you saying!"

Jiraiya turned around and glared fiercely at Kyohiko.

"There are a lot of missions in Tanabata Street, so you'll definitely remember them after a few visits."

"Absolutely."

Jingyan echoed in agreement.

Kakashi and Kurenai couldn't help but chuckle, clearly not entirely convinced by Jiraiya's explanation.

Jiraiya was helpless.

That kid.

All they do is ruin their own reputation!

but.

Hehehe, that's definitely true later...

Jiraiya chuckled inwardly, then quickly coughed lightly and explained, "I took this mission not for what you're thinking, but for something else important!"

As he spoke, he lifted the bamboo curtain with the word "gambling" on it.

A samurai immediately came over from the doorway.

"Are you... ninjas from Konoha?"

"Yes, we were tasked by your boss to protect your debt collection team."

Jiraiya nodded.

The samurai was overjoyed and said, "Follow me, everyone!"

He immediately pointed to one side, then jogged inside. Once inside, a young man ran out quickly.

"Everyone, I am Matsuyama Koji, the owner of the Blue and White Porcelain Pavilion."

The young man quickly introduced himself.

Jiraiya's expression turned serious.

"I am Jiraiya, a Jonin of Konoha. They are my subordinates, responsible for this protection mission. I wonder what the specifics are?"

"Please come in, let's talk while we have some tea."

Upon hearing the name, Matsuyama Koji's eyes lit up, and his posture became even more respectful.

Jiraiya nodded.

Following them to the back hall, Matsuyama Koji instructed a maid to pour tea.

"I never expected that Lord Jiraiya would personally lead the team. We are so lucky. This mission is sure to be a success."

Matsuyama Koji complimented him.

Then, he explained the details of the mission.

original.

They had previously sought to collect a debt from a group of merchants from the Land of Rivers, but those merchants had hired a band of wandering samurai. Their men were no match for them, and they were unsure whether the other side had any more wandering ninjas...

So he simply used the price of a B-rank mission to apply for a mission from Konoha.

"So, our duty is to protect you in collecting debts from the merchants of the Land of Rivers?"

Jiraiya said.

Koji Matsuyama nodded: "That's right."

……

Short Book Street, outside the teahouse.

After a commotion, a large group of wandering samurai and ninjas rushed out of the building. Behind them, a man angrily said, "When I return to the Land of Rivers, I will definitely send the rest of the money over. Why do you have to ruin my business?"

"Hirakawa Ken, you said the same thing last time. This time, I won't let you get away again."

Koji Matsuyama snorted coldly.

Most gamblers say this, especially businessmen who do business.

But in reality...

Like the person in front of me, who made excuses several times and had no intention of repaying the debt.

Not only that, the other party not only owed gambling debts, but also a large sum of business money.

Having finally waited for the other party to come to Tanabata Street, how could he possibly let them go so easily?

"grown ups."

Matsuyama Koji stepped back to Jiraiya's side, his attitude respectful.

The other person's expression changed.

"Ninjas? Charge! Take them down!"

The dozens of warriors around them looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Hurry up! Don't you want your money back?"

"yes!"

Dozens of people rushed towards them.

Matsuyama Koji quickly retreated.

Jiraiya smiled, but instead of immediately making a move, he took a step back.

"Would you like to cooperate?"

Kyohiko looked at Kakashi.

"casual."

Kakashi said calmly.

In terms of killing, he believed he was better than the inexperienced Jing Yan and would definitely not fall behind.

As he spoke, he drew his blade, poised to strike.

Jingyan formed hand seals, gathering and mobilizing chakra.

After more than a year of training, his hand seals were very fast; in the blink of an eye, the ninjutsu was completed.

Immediately following.

Whoosh!

A torrent of water gushed from Jingyan's mouth.

Water Release: Water Chaos Waves.

The surging water swept away like a flood, knocking people off their feet and creating a path.

Kakashi was stunned for a moment.

Did Kyohiko really only practice Water Release techniques for half a month?

How can it be so powerful!

This was after running all the way, and neither my physical nor mental energy was at its best.

Under normal circumstances, the power of ninjutsu might be even greater.

This guy...

His Water Release talent is amazing!

Kakashi felt a pang of envy.

At this time, he focused more on taijutsu, swordsmanship, and lightning ninjutsu, and was not very knowledgeable about water ninjutsu.

but.

It's different from now on.

He knew very well that Kyohiko had not only mastered the essence of water turbulence, but was also trying to compress and concentrate the power of the water flow.

otherwise--

Ordinary ripples in water simply cannot create such a large-scale impact.

This kind of concept...

Further enhancements and improvements resulted in the Second Hokage's "Water Severing Wave".

For a moment when he unleashed the ninjutsu, he almost thought that Kyohiko was the reincarnation of the Second Hokage.

so similar!

but.

Now is not the time to be daydreaming.

"Kakashi, don't just stand there."

"Oh? Yes!"

These wandering samurai were quite dutiful, each struggling to charge forward.

Kakashi forms hand seals.

Lightning Release: Earth Walk!

The water flow stopped abruptly.

At the same time, Kakashi placed his hands on the water, and the electric current spread rapidly along the water flow, instantly knocking all the samurai who had stood up to the ground.

Hirakawa Kenya ran away.

But where could an ordinary person like him escape to?

Jingyan instantly leaped onto the rooftop and chased after his opponent, catching up in just a few moments using the Instantaneous Movement Technique.

The kunai held to the man's neck immediately stopped Hirakawa Ken's escape.

"I'll give you the money, I'll give you the money."

"I'm sorry, your credit with me is now negative. Write back to your father, Hirakawa Hiroshi, and ask him for money. Don't even think about leaving my casino until then."
