Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 57: He's already like this, how can Jingyan not be even stronger?

The three from Kusagakure fled along Route 3, not daring to stop for even a moment.

"Old Bridge, it seems the battle over there has ended."

"Um."

"Then we..."

"Hurry up!"

The ancient bridge path is slightly wider.

He then quickened his pace and began climbing the mountain.

End?

The real danger lies in ending it!

Those lunatics from Kirigakure started fighting halfway up the mountain, clearly not to pass the level, but purely to kill.

Run!

but.

After a moment, he heard a noise, and then his expression changed drastically.

"Run downhill!"

"what?"

His companions didn't understand what was going on, but two or three figures darted out from between the trees.

Before they could even see clearly, the three had already surrounded them in a triangular formation.

The ninja named Furuhashi was sweating profusely.

He looked up.

Headband...

Huh?

Not a Hidden Mist Ninja?

They're Konoha ninjas!

Gu Qiao was surprised, but then felt a surge of joy and relief.

Konoha ninjas are great!

Although Konoha is powerful, apart from the Anbu, their ninjas are generally not too brutal. They rarely kill ninjas from smaller villages like Konoha, and at most they will ask for information.

even.

If they're lucky, they might just ask for directions and the other person will let them go.

The premise is that you have the right attitude.

He felt resentful and annoyed by the injustice between the big and small villages, but forced a smile onto his face.

"The three of you, what can I do for you?"

"I have no interest in your lives. Just answer my questions and I'll let you go."

Jingyan said calmly.

The three nodded in unison, stood up straight without realizing it, and behaved very obediently.

As a small ninja village, they had no choice but to act this way when facing a strong opponent.

"Is there a new redhead woman in your village?"

Yes, yes.

Gu Qiao then realized that they had simply gotten themselves into trouble because of their loose tongues.

During a casual conversation, they talked about the red-haired woman, which was overheard by Konoha ninjas.

This guy's ears are incredibly sharp!

He sighed inwardly, but smiled apologetically and answered honestly, "That's right. The woman's name is Yuxi, and she recently wandered into our village."

"You mentioned that she possesses special abilities?"

"this……"

Gu Qiao hesitated for a moment, but soon he noticed that Jing Yan's gaze was becoming increasingly sharp, and he immediately dared not hide it any longer.

"Yes, yes, her constitution is very special. As long as someone bites the corresponding spot on her wound, she can heal them, so..."

"Thanks."

Having confirmed the name and origin of the other party, Jingyan was completely certain of their situation and immediately stopped lingering.

He vanished in an instant, letting out a soft sigh.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing him sigh, Kurenai felt concerned and curious.

Kai was equally curious.

During the time they spent together, he rarely saw Jingyan show any negative emotions.

Kyohiko said, "I'm almost certain that woman is a member of the Uzumaki clan, just like Kushina-senpai, and her name..."

"Yuki, health and hope?"

Kurenai paused for a moment, then realized why Kyohiko was sighing.

These two words have no connection to that girl since the destruction of Whirlpool Village and the extermination of the Whirlpool Clan.

She could imagine it.

From the chaotic Land of Whirlpools, she wandered all the way to the Land of Grass; how much suffering did that girl endure?

Hong remained silent for a moment.

"So what should we do?"

"Go outside, tell the teacher, and then wait for the results."

Jingyan answered calmly.

They are just genin. Even if they can be promoted to chunin in this exam, they will only be cannon fodder in the Fourth Shinobi World War and are not worth mentioning.

They have no way to intervene in these inter-village power struggles except for intelligence gathering.

"Let's go and meet up with Aoba and the others."

"Let me sense it and see if I can detect any chakra fluctuations from them."

"it is good."

……

Route 3, Yamashiro Aoba was panting heavily, but he still had some scattered wounds on his body.

"The madman of Kumogakure!"

"I'll hold them off, you go find Jingyan and the others!"

Raito Michiko gripped the knife, his face filled with determination.

Yamashiro Aoba shook her head: "Their target is Kyohiko-kun. I'm even hesitating whether I should go to number 2."

"Let's run up the mountain."

"it is good."

The three of them quickly changed their route and ran up the mountain.

however.

A moment later, shadows swayed behind them, and a little girl ran through the woods, her face indifferent but without any murderous intent.

"I'm not interested in you. Take us to find Yoshimine Kyohiko."

"We in Konoha do not betray our comrades!"

Yamashiro Aoba firmly refused.

Today you might be a traitor on the battlefield, but tomorrow you could be a betrayer.

His principles do not allow that!

"I made an appointment with him."

Nii Yukitodo.

Yamashiro Aoba shook her head: "I won't agree."

however.

Their speed is nowhere near that of the two Yugito.

As they talked, the distance between the two parties shortened.

Yamashiro Aoba and Namishita Raito felt an intense sense of frustration.

They expected that each village would field its elite squads to demonstrate its strength in this exam, but they didn't expect the enemy to be so strong.

This girl from Kumogakure...

He looked to be six or seven years old, or even younger, yet he single-handedly overpowered the three of them, and after fighting for so long, he still had chakra left.

That's absolutely outrageous!

"It seems we have no choice but to capture you first, and then consider..."

"Let's give it our all!"

They gritted their teeth and turned back to prepare for battle.

The two wooden figures' eyes lit up, and they were about to make a move when suddenly a figure arrived swiftly.

"Ah!"

She immediately crossed her arms to block the opponent's kick, but soon the relentless attacks came again.

A series of extremely fast kicks.

In the blink of an eye, the opponent had already kicked out seven or eight times. Even the two Yugitos could not withstand it and were eventually kicked away.

Fortunately-

She quickly grabbed a branch and managed to steady herself.

Meanwhile, their companions followed behind.

"Yukito, are you alright?"

Protecting her was a burly child who looked a few years older than the two Yugitos.

The two wooden figures shook their heads.

She was not substantially harmed.

but.

She looked up and gazed ahead.

Beside Yamashiro Aoba and the others stood a boy wearing a green bodysuit, who was watching them warily.

Konoha ninja?

The two Yugito thought for a moment and then remembered it.

This strangely dressed man seems to be Yoshimine Kyohiko's companion.

Unexpectedly, his companion was also very capable!

The two Yukito's eyes shone brightly—

If even his companions are this powerful, then what kind of strength does Yoshimine Kyohiko, who is said to have defeated a Kirigakure Jonin and killed an Iwagakure Jonin, possess?

She was getting more and more excited!

Not long after, she saw that person.

"Yoshimine Kyohiko! You promised to fight me."

She was highly motivated to fight.

Jingyan said, "That's true, but considering the rules of the second exam, I think we have a better option."

"What?"

"After we reach the summit and retrieve the scroll, we'll fight again."

Jingyan said, "No matter what, at least we can both advance to the next round, right?"

Even if I beat you, I can still advance to the next round.

The two Yukito are very confident.

Kyohiko smiled, and then—

Bang!
