Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 34 You really think I'm a movie star?

On the street, Jiraiya frequented various special shops.

After making some inquiries, he learned the general situation.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

Someone is watching!

Then, a look of envy appeared on Jiraiya's face as he chuckled and headed into the special shop.

Not long after, he started hugging and cuddling inside the house.

A figure flashed by outside.

……

Inside the hotel, after a brief conversation, it was already late at night.

Kyohiko used kunai as swords for training.

He felt that, with practice, his body was rapidly absorbing the skills that were being rewarded.

Kakashi stood to the side, his expression gradually becoming blank.

It's not that Kyohiko is beyond guidance; on the contrary, there are still many things Kyohiko doesn't understand, and his swordsmanship isn't particularly strong, but his stance and power generation are already quite standard.

Is this also a talent?

His feelings were complicated, then he sighed inwardly and focused on perfecting the Instantaneous Movement Technique—

Jingyan's secret was also very useful to him!

Jingyan was so focused that he didn't notice Kakashi's subtle emotional changes.

He was studying the "White Fang Knife Technique".

If there's a target in front of you, swordsmanship is naturally simple, but what if there's an enemy in front of you?

Jingyan imagined himself carefully wielding each blade.

They dispersed after a long while.

I went to sleep that night.

Jingyan was fast asleep when he suddenly sensed a slight movement. He immediately opened his eyes and sat up, his hand gripping the kunai beside him as if it were his very life.

"Croak!"

The kunai pierced the wooden board, startling a small toad which jumped up and cowered in the corner.

Jingyan was slightly taken aback, then put away his kunai.

"I'm sorry, I thought it was an enemy."

"It's alright, it's all Jiraiya's fault. If he hadn't asked me to deliver it in the middle of the night, this wouldn't have happened."

The little toad is quite open-minded.

He jumped in front of Kyohiko, looked him over, and then said, "Jiraiya asked me to tell you that during his investigation, he discovered that a ninja was following him, but it's not yet clear which side it is."

"What does the teacher mean?"

"He will go into hiding later, so you don't need to worry, but don't be too relaxed either. In short, you need to keep an eye on things."

"what?"

Kyohiko remained silent.

Don't appear too relaxed.

That's asking for too much.

Do you really think we're movie stars?

I just kept telling myself, "This is a trap!"

After pondering for a while, Kyohiko said, "Please inform our teacher. I will do my best, but I am only a low-ranking ninja."

"it is good."

The little toad vanished instantly.

Jingyan got up to drink some water and glanced outside.

A thin mist shrouded the mountain forest at night.

He carefully refined his chakra and infused it outwards.

After confirming by contact with the mist that there were no signs of chakra influence in the surroundings, I felt much more at ease.

Someone is following Jiraiya...

Hidden Mist Ninja?

After thinking for a long time, Jingyan got up and went to the next room.

Hearing footsteps, Kisame Hoshigaki stared with his beady eyes, his gaze filled with despair.

If I didn't know the nature of Kirigakure...

He might have been scammed.

The genin of Kirigakure have all fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood; how could this little difficulty frighten them?

But there's another one.

She had been in poor condition before, and Kurenai Yuhi tried to help her, but there was still no improvement. Right now, all we can say is that she is keeping Kirigakure alive and incidentally being Kurenai Yuhi's patient.

Jingyan simply closed his eyes and rested on the first floor where they were being held.

Kisame closed his eyes and sighed inwardly.

This little rascal wakes up at the slightest sound; he's so troublesome!

He finally found an opportunity.

Pity.

If they were to meet in the wild in a one-on-one encounter, Kisame was confident that he could defeat his opponent by taking advantage of the terrain and using various ninjutsu, and would be able to escape and survive again.

but.

With his chakra sealed, his entire body bound, and only able to untangle the ropes with two fingers, he had little confidence in defeating the enemy before him.

Hey!

Who would have thought they'd run into Jiraiya?

Falling into the hands of such a ninja, sealing techniques would be too easy, and he wouldn't even have a chance to escape as a genin.

Kisame stared at the ceiling and sighed deeply.

Soon.

Upstairs, Kakashi poked his head out, and after seeing that it was Kyohiko below, he shrank back inside with relief.

but.

That location should be the corridor outside Matsuyama Ichiro's residence.

He stood guard in the corridor to prevent Matsuyama Ichiro from getting into danger.

Putting aside Kakashi's personality, he is indeed a reliable teammate when it comes to missions, rarely letting anyone down.

It must be quite upsetting to be in the shoes of the teammate he dislikes.

The reason why Obito and Rin were able to get along with Kakashi in the future was because of their incredibly good personalities. If it were him, he would have given Kakashi a serious warning on the very first day.

Later, they gradually stabilized the situation by using their strength to deter others.

Otherwise, he and Kurenai would receive the same treatment as Obito and Rin.

I was just thinking about it.

At this moment, the fog gradually thickened.

Jingyan suddenly opened his eyes, his mind immediately focused, and his gaze instantly sharpened.

The thick fog at night often goes unnoticed, especially here near the mountains.

but.

The chakra within the mist was as eye-catching as fireflies.

This is the Fog Concealment Technique!

Kyohiko extracted chakra and slowly let it permeate into the surrounding thick fog.

A chilling aura emanated from the thick fog, making him feel as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

A bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Fortunately, Jiraiya was hiding in the house behind them and had not actually left, so he could provide them with assistance at any time.

should……

Right?

Cold sweat broke out on Jingyan's forehead.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the crimson sunset fell upon Kyohiko.

The next moment—

"Retreat! Go protect Mr. Matsuyama; he is our mission objective."

Jingyan gave a soft shout.

Kurenai Yuhi is not as fast as him, and rushing over under these circumstances would be tantamount to courting death.

"But……"

"At worst, we can just give up on them both."

Jing Yan said.

Kurenai hesitated for a moment, then nodded and went upstairs to help Kakashi protect his employer.

Just then—

Whoosh!

Jingyan turned and slashed, but the blade sliced ​​through him like a knife.

but.

The other person's head instantly turned into water droplets, and the other arm swelled up and attacked him.

Water Release: Great Water Arm Technique!

Hozuki Mangetsu curled up a sinister smirk.

But then...

boom!

The person in front of him turned into a piece of wood.

? ?

What?

Hozuki's Full Moon Awakening—

The opponent used a teleportation technique to leave, leaving behind a substitution jutsu.

With a little concealment technique, combined with the Instantaneous Movement Technique, she fooled him.

not only that.

The first time, the other party dodged the assassination attempt and struck him on the head with a kunai.

The second time, she tricked him again using the Instantaneous Movement Technique and the Substitution Technique.

This level of quality...

This kid from Konoha is no ordinary genin!

He turned his head and saw that the other person had already jumped to the second floor, completing the hand seal in mid-air.

Immediately, torrential waves of water poured down from above.

Kill him with water?

Hozuki Mangetsu no longer dared to underestimate his opponent and regarded Kyohiko as an equal in strength, so he immediately retreated.

next moment--

Zizi!

The electric current came from above and swept around with the water flow, and both Kisame and his companion were struck by lightning.

Hozuki Mangetsu ran fast and was not affected by the lightning release.

Instead.

His repeated attempts to make a move failed, and instead he was forced into a sorry state by his opponent, which was a real loss of face.

Hozuki Mangetsu was about to make another move.

"Stop playing around, take your people and leave."

A cold voice echoed from within the mist.

"yes!"

The next moment, a knife pierced through the mist and surged forth.

Judging from its style, it should be a decapitation sword.

Jingyan frowned.

The decapitation sword, Juzo the Loquat?

Are there other Hidden Mist Jonin lurking in the shadows?
