Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 61 This kid is terrifying!

"Thanks."

The two Yugitos were quite polite.

Besides being belligerent.

Such a fine child, ruined by the Hidden Cloud Village...

That's a real shame.

Jingyan sighed inwardly, while Yuhi Kurenai naturally said, "No need to thank me."

At this moment, he suddenly said, "We in Konoha treat prisoners of war well; this is our basic policy."

"Who are the prisoners?"

The two girls glared at him angrily.

Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "Don't be angry, my medical ninjutsu is not very good, it will be difficult to deal with if the wound reopens."

The two wooden figures remained silent, their expressions indifferent.

At that moment, Kyohiko suddenly threw a large number of shuriken into the woods on his right.

Immediately, the sound of rushing water came from the forest.

Immediately afterwards, fog rolled in, and a patch of trees withered and died.

Boiling Escape!

Mei Terumi activated it with all her might, and then silence fell instantly.

"They used water magic to escape along the stream."

"That's what Kurenai Yuhi said."

The water veins of this volcano are quite abundant. As long as a water-style ninjutsu with a large volume of water is used, the three members of Kirigakure can escape along the stream.

However, if we want to catch up, we might be able to catch up in the short time, but we would need the cooperation of the ninjas from Kumogakure.

Obviously.

The other two from Kumogakure did not have this idea.

Both Yugito were injured, and they were more concerned about Yugito's condition.

After all, this person is their Jinchūriki!

Jingyan had no intention of chasing after them; he only made a move because he didn't want to be remembered. His probing earlier had confirmed his suspicions.

"Let's go."

……

They rushed all the way to the foot of the mountain, where Mei Terumi and Kisame Hoshigaki struggled to their feet from the water, managing to pull Mangetsu Hozuki out of the water as well.

"I never expected that the Hidden Cloud Village would even send a Jinchūriki."

Hozuki Mangetsu looked weak.

He can still transform into water, but he certainly doesn't have much combat power anymore. If a fight had really broken out just now, he would definitely have been able to run away, but it's hard to say for Kisame and Mei Terumi.

Fortunately, the other party did not seem to give chase.

"Phew! That was close."

They walked unsteadily toward the exit.

Before long, they reached the other side of the pass, and the first thing they saw in the crowd was Master Yuan, who was eagerly waiting.

At this moment, Master Yuan looked around anxiously.

Upon seeing the three of them, he immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

Mei Terumi and Mangetsu Hozuki are both safe!

Do you have any reels?

Yugakure Murakami asked.

Kisame Hoshigaki shook his head and handed over only one scroll.

The three of them lowered their heads in shame.

one……

In other words, the task was not completed.

"Did not pass."

The Jonin of Yugakure looked at Genji.

Yuan Shi forced a smile.

"Let's go."

pass?

He didn't want to anymore.

It's fortunate that these three are still alive.

With a heavy heart, Yuan Shi left without waiting for the other ninjas from the other villages, taking only Kisame and the other two scattered ninjas who had escaped earlier.

Once outside, he finally understood the situation and, after learning the whole story, Master Yuan was somewhat devastated.

because……

Yugakure Village wasn't actually targeting them.

It was Kirigakure who started it all. Even Kyohiko's initial motivation for chasing down Kirigakure ninjas was that he was almost ambushed and blown up by them at the entrance, and then he was cornered and killed.

but.

He could tell too.

Something must have gone wrong with Kisame and the others, which is why they arrived at the mountaintop late.

Why are you so late getting up the mountain?

"Master Yuan, we fought with Yoshimine Kyohiko halfway up the mountain, but we were utterly defeated. Mangetsu lost a lot of chakra to save us, which is why we slowly made our way up the mountain."

Kisame said, bowing deeply immediately, "I underestimated them and was determined to fight him. Please punish me!"

"Punishment? Hmph."

Master Yuan snorted coldly.

Normally, he would have severely punished Kisame Hoshigaki.

but.

Now, of the more than twenty Hidden Mist ninjas who came, only five remain. He doesn't know how to explain this to the Mizukage.

The requirements for graduating from Kirigakure are already very strict; if we kill more, there will truly be no one left.

"Why!"

The master sighed heavily.

Hopefully, the Hidden Mist Ninja Academy will produce more promising talents next year; otherwise, it will be difficult for the Hidden Mist Ninja Academy to recover its strength.

Next year's ninjas...

Yuan Shi turned his head: "Ming, your classmates will be graduating next year. Do you know any promising talents?"

"Is it better?"

Terumi meditated for a long time.

Finally, she replied, "There's one named Zabuza who's alright."

"Anything else?"

"The rest are just so-so."

Mei Terumi answered.

Master Yuan nodded silently, his hunched back making him appear even older.

……

"I'm sorry, Lord Tsuchidai, we didn't receive the scroll."

The two figures bowed.

Tu Tai was slightly surprised and said, "You didn't get it either? How is that possible!"

He looked at Ye Yuelian and Motoi.

"What's going on?"

"Yugito fought Yoshimine Kyohiko one-on-one, but lost, so we had to hand over the scroll."

Night Moon Lotus answered simply.

After he finished speaking, he added, "But I don't think it's Yugito's problem; the opponent is indeed very strong..."

duel?

What the hell is this?!

Tsuchikage, holding his breath, glanced at the other ninja from various villages in the distance, as well as Jiraiya laughing loudly, and...

That pile of reels.

His vision went black for a moment, and he almost lost his breath. He took a deep breath and recovered.

"Lord Tsuchidai, I've dragged them into this. I'll work even harder when I get back!"

Yugito didn't explain to herself, nor did she want to implicate her teammates, so she took all the blame upon herself.

Tsuchikage took a deep breath and asked, "How did you lose? Without using Tailed Beast chakra?"

He knew that Yugito could now control a portion of the Tailed Beast's chakra without causing it to go berserk.

Logically speaking, such an ability should be a fatal blow...

That's why Kumogakure allowed Yugito to take the exam, but unexpectedly he lost!

He urgently needed to understand Yoshimine Kyohiko's strength.

Yukito said, "I used it, but the opponent is very strong!"

With a serious expression, she recounted the battle in meticulous detail.

Having followed the Third Raikage for many years, Tsuchida was no ordinary ninja, and his expression grew increasingly grave as he listened.

Terrifying speed.

Powerful and refined physical and sword skills.

The skill levels of the left and right hands are almost equal.

Strange strength.

The sum of these four elements is truly terrifying!

Tu Tai gasped, his gaze frequently drifting into the distance.

No wonder the people from Kirigakure and Iwagakure conspired to kill this brat. If he grows up, he might become another White Fang of Konoha, or even more terrifying than White Fang!

He remained silent for a long time before finally patting Yugito on the shoulder.

"It's okay. The one who starts first isn't necessarily the one who finishes last. You... well, keep it up. Who knows, you might be able to surpass him one day."

A young genius is nothing before he grows up.

of course.

Tsuchida knew Yukito well; he knew that the girl was proud and strong-willed. Telling her that the child might be assassinated one day would definitely not convince her.

Instead, let's use this as motivation.

Besides Konoha, some Jonin from smaller ninja villages who had surviving ninja were also very happy, but...

Jingyan remained calm. Upon learning that the third exam had been canceled and that those who received the scrolls could decide for themselves whether to advance, he didn't make Jiraiya too happy and forcibly took Jiraiya away from the exam hall.

We arrived at a secluded spot outside.

He shared the information he had obtained with Jiraiya.

Whirlpool Clan...

Yuki.

Jiraiya went from being happy to being serious.

"I see."

This news is very important to him, Kushina, and even Konoha!
