Chapter 206 Taking Terumi Mei as a Disciple, Kakashi's First Battle (Third and Fourth Updates)

Natsuki stepped forward and helped Uchiha Mikoto up.

He reached out and helped her put on the clothes, covering her graceful body.

"Thank you for your help again today, Misaka."

Xia Mu patted her head and said.

"Yes—it's what I should do."

Mikoto Uchiha's eyes sparkled, and she spoke with a shy expression.

Although she had gotten used to it, her personality meant she couldn't simply accept it.

Looking at her blushing face, Xia Mu felt that she was even more alluring as a virtuous wife and loving mother.

If it were someone else, there certainly wouldn't be such a stark contrast.

"Want to go watch the Chunin Exams together this afternoon?"

Xia Mu chuckled and asked.

"Um."

Mikoto Uchiha turned her head slightly and responded softly.

"Then you go back first."

Xia Mu pinched her cheek and said.

Mikoto Uchiha turned and left.

The door was closed.

With a thought, Xia Mu vanished from the spot.

The next second, he was standing in front of Princess Ichikishima.

Xia Mu looked around and spotted a training ground not far away.

His gaze fell on the training field.

A girl with long reddish-brown hair is practicing Water Release techniques.

"Owner."

Princess Ichikishima leaned forward, hugged his arm, rubbed against it a couple of times, and said, "Now is the perfect time for Mei Terumi to be alone."

"You did a great job."

Xia Mu pulled his arm out of her ordinary embrace and said, "Wait for me here."

He casually raised his hand, and a hidden barrier unfolded.

Mei Terumi sensed the fluctuation of chakra and instinctively showed a wary expression.

Xia Mu stepped forward.

Mei Terumi saw him and was taken aback.

She was taken aback because Xia Mu was exceptionally handsome, perfectly matching her aesthetic standards.

In the original work, Mei Terumi was somewhat infatuated with men, and when she first met Sasuke Uchiha, she thought he was very handsome.

But there were only a few, so she quickly realized what was going on.

"Who are you?"

Mei Terumi asked, squinting her eyes.

"I am Xia Mu."

Xia Mu smiled slightly and said.

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi's pupils contracted involuntarily.

She instinctively took two steps back, putting distance between herself and him.

"This is Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village)!"

Mei Terumi said, as if to bolster her courage.

"This is indeed Kirigakure, but I can kill you without alerting anyone."

After Xia Mu finished speaking, he raised his hand.

Binding Spell No. 61: The Six-Staff Light Prison!

Mei Terumi noticed his movements and immediately formed hand seals.

Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique!

She knew very well that she was no match for the legendary Xia Mu, so she exhaled a large amount of mist to conceal herself.

But just as she was about to escape through the fog, six beams of light descended from the sky, trapping her in place.

"Damn it!"

Mei Terumi struggled desperately, but to no avail.

She is not yet the Fifth Mizukage from the original work; her strength is not even that of a Jonin, so naturally she has no way to break free.

In fact, even a Jonin might not be able to break free.

Do you believe what I'm saying now?

Xia Mu raised his hand, and his Wind Release chakra transformed into a gust of wind, blowing away the mist.

Why did you try to kill me?

Mei Terumi stopped struggling and asked, puzzled.

Although she was somewhat famous in Kirigakure, her fame came from her own talent.

Once outside of Kirigakure, no one knew of her fame.

Natsuki is a well-known strongman in Konoha Village.

Logically speaking, he should be dealing with a big shot like the Third Mizukage, not some nobody like her who isn't even a Jonin.

"If I really wanted to kill you, would you even have the chance to speak now?"

Xia Mu countered with a question.

"So what exactly are you going to do?"

Mei Terumi was even more puzzled upon hearing this.

I admire you.

Xia Mu revealed his purpose: "I hope you can become my student."

"what?"

Mei Terumi's eyes widened, her shock reaching its peak.

What's going on?

The renowned Konoha Village strongman wants to take her as a student?

"I am a ninja from Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village)."

Mei Terumi took a deep breath and said firmly, "I will not leave Kirigakure."

"I didn't say you had to leave Kirigakure."

Xia Mu shook his head and said, "I can come over at set times to teach you."

"————?"

Mei Terumi looked completely bewildered upon hearing this.

She was completely bewildered.

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you later?"

Mei Terumi composed herself and asked.

"If you can kill me, it means you've completed your apprenticeship."

Xia Mu said with a smile.

Mei Terumi's face showed a look of disbelief.

A question arose in her mind: Am I under a spell? No, it's Xia Mu who's under a spell.

Aside from this explanation, she couldn't understand why Xia Mu would do such a thing.

He takes a ninja from an enemy village as his student and even allows her to kill him later.

This is either an illusion or something wrong with their head.

"You want to control me?"

Mei Terumi suddenly thought of a possibility.

As a genius of the new generation in Kirigakure, she has the potential to become the Mizukage in the future.

"I won't control you."

Xia Mu paused for a moment, then said, "If you're worried, you can find a strong person from Kirigakure to check you out later."

Mei Terumi was stunned.

She's starting to trust Natsuki a little, because with her status, she can get the Third Mizukage to help her.

If she were under the influence of genjutsu or some other form of control, the Third Mizukage would definitely be able to tell.

"You now have only two choices: I kill you, or you become my student."

Xia Mu looked at her and asked, "What is your choice?"

"I will become your student."

Mei Terumi remained silent for a moment before finally replying.

She doesn't want to die.

Most importantly, no matter what Xia Mu does, she can only deal with him if she survives.

"A very wise choice."

Xia Mu released the sixty-first of the binding spells, the Six-Staff Light Prison.

Mei Terumi looked at him, stretched her body, and hesitated to speak.

What ninjutsu do you know right now?

Xia Mu asked.

Water Release: Water Release.

Mei Terumi replied.

Xia Mu nodded slightly.

It seems she hasn't mastered the Lava Escape and Boiling Escape techniques yet.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Mu decided to teach her the Ghost Path.

If we teach the Six Styles of Konoha, Mei Terumi won't be able to use them even if she learns them.

It can be used by teaching the way of ghosts.

Furthermore, taking Mei Terumi as a student was solely for the purpose of unlocking Aizen's template for his Hadō.

This can be considered using locally available materials.

Natsuki was also curious about what Mei Terumi would become after learning the Kido.

As for her current lack of self-trust, that's actually a minor issue.

Mei Terumi's ability to become the Fifth Mizukage demonstrates that she was a capable and ambitious ninja.

If someone can help her become the Fifth Mizukage ahead of time, she will selectively accept it even if that person is a ninja from Konoha.

"I will teach you a secret technique that I created myself, called the Ghost Path."

Xia Mu said, "Ninjutsu requires hand seals and chanting. Once you're proficient, you can skip the chanting and cast it instantly."

Mei Terumi was stunned.

She had never heard of such a secret technique.

And it can even be instantaneous?

In her understanding, only hand seal ninjutsu can be cast instantly.

However, there are very few unsealed ninjutsu techniques, and their power is insufficient.

Mei Terumi suddenly remembered the Binding Spell No. 61, Six-Staff Light Prison, that Natsuki had used before.

She remembered that as soon as he raised his hand, she was bound by six beams of light.

If what Xia Mu said is true, then learning this demonic path will definitely enhance her strength.

"Kido is divided into Devado, Binddo, and Returndo, which correspond to attack, support, and healing, respectively."

Natsuki continued, "I'll teach you Hado first, the first one is Hado One: Oki."

He raised his hand, and a shockwave emanated from his fingertips.

The shockwave hit the ground, causing it to shake and creating a circular hole.

"Teacher Natsuki."

Mei Terumi looked at the round hole and couldn't help but ask, "This is one, so how many broken passages are there in total?"

"Ninety-nine."

Xia Mu replied, "The larger the number, the greater the power."

Mei Terumi couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

There are actually ninety-nine such secret techniques?

Ninety-nine instantaneous ninjutsu techniques—just thinking about it is terrifying.

No wonder the Third Mizukage and Elder Yuan Shi had such solemn expressions when they mentioned Xia Mu.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking Aizen Sousuke's second template ability: Hado.]

Xia Mu looked at the line of text in front of him and thought to himself that things were really going smoothly.

He originally thought that he would unlock it only after Mei Terumi's strength reached a certain level.

But that's fine too, it saves him time.

The morning passed quickly.

"From now on, you can come to this training ground every day, and I'll make time to show up."

Natsuki looked at Terumi Mei and said, "Today's lesson is over."

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.

Mei Terumi paused for a few seconds, then raised her hand and pinched her cheek.

She only came to her senses after confirming that she wasn't dreaming.

After meditating for a while, Zhao Mei decided to go find Master Yuan.

Although Xia Mu said he wouldn't control her, with his power, even if he did control her, he wouldn't know.

Yuan Shi is different; as an elder, he possesses the strength of an elite Jonin.

He's just getting older, and his skills have declined.

Natsuki used the Body Flicker Technique to return to Ichikishima-hime's side, and then used the Door-Door Fruit to return to Konoha Village.

"Natsuki."

Mikoto Uchiha had already arrived at his office and was waiting.

"The second stage of the Chunin Exams is at 2 PM."

Xia Mu smiled and said, "You're a little early."

"I—I came early to see if there was anything I could do for you."

Mikoto Uchiha lowered her head and spoke softly.

"Did you have meal?"

Xia Mu casually replied, "I haven't eaten yet."

"Feel sorry."

Mikoto Uchiha was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said in a flustered manner, "I forgot to bring my lunchbox, I'll go back and get it now."

"It's okay, I brought a lunchbox."

Xia Mu shook his head and said.

"It was my mistake."

Mikoto Uchiha said shyly.

"Alright, this isn't your fault."

Seeing that she was still blaming herself, Xia Mu said, "If I want to eat in the office in the future, I will let you know in advance."

"Um."

Uchiha Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Xia Mu walked towards the sofa.

He took out a lunchbox and placed it on the coffee table.

"You still haven't told me whether you've eaten or not."

Xia Mu opened the bento box.

"I ate at home."

Mikoto Uchiha bent down and poured him a glass of water.

Xia Mu glanced subconsciously at the heaving clothes.

Mikoto Uchiha noticed his gaze.

She put down her water glass and sat on the sofa opposite Xia Mu.

After hesitating for a moment, she reached out and tugged at her collar.

It's pulled down, so more skin is exposed.

Xia Mu raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that he was getting more and more obedient.

But pride comes with it.

Because it was his achievement.

Mikoto Uchiha didn't dare to look at him, keeping her head down and feeling her breathing quicken.

But this reaction made things easier for Xia Mu.

Xia Mu now finally understands what it means to be visually appealing.

He finished his lunch quickly.

Upon seeing this, Mikoto Uchiha quickly pulled down her collar to cover her skin.

The two walked towards the Forest of Death.

The first stage of the Chunin Exams is a written test, and the second stage is a team battle.

The team battles are the same as in previous years, with no changes; it's all about competing for the reel.

"Let's watch the game from somewhere else."

Xia Mu stopped in her tracks.

He took out the Minced Meat and performed his Shikai.

A giant ray appeared.

Xia Mu jumped onto its back and looked at the somewhat astonished Uchiha Mikoto.

She had never seen a giant ray before, so she was naturally very surprised.

After all, it's unbelievable that a ninja sword could turn into a fish.

Xia Mu wasn't surprised.

This is the reaction of people who see a giant ray for the first time.

He reached out and pulled her up.

The giant ray flew upwards and eventually came to rest high in the sky above the Death Forest.

Xia Mu glanced around and then sat on the edge of the giant ray, her legs dangling in the air.

He activated his telescope and looked down.

At this point, all the genin participating in the second stage of the Chunin Exams had arrived.

He, Minato Namikaze, and Nawaki's students all successfully passed the first stage of the Chunin Exams.

"Mikoto."

Xia Mu slapped his thigh and said, "Come and watch together."

Mikoto Uchiha glanced at it and her face flushed red.

She walked over, squatted down, and sat on Xia Mu's lap.

Xia Mu reached out and put his arm around her soft waist.

Fortunately, he was taller than Uchiha Mikoto.

He rested his chin on her shoulder, and he could easily see the situation in the Death Forest below.

Mikoto Uchiha's heart raced, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing her nervousness.

The main reason was that her back was completely in Xia Mu's arms, and she could feel the warmth from him.

It was 2 p.m.

The second stage of the Chunin Exams has officially begun.

After receiving a scroll, Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, and the others entered the Forest of Death.

Natsuki played with Uchiha Mikoto's hands as he looked at his team.

Her hands were smooth, like a piece of soft jade.

After all, Uchiha Mikoto is at the prime of her youth.

Xia Mu seemed to be deep in thought.

Characters like Tsunade and Yakushi Nono have Yin Seals, so there's no need to worry about them getting old.

Kushina Uzumaki can also learn this.

The Yin Seal is originally a sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan.

However, it's highly likely that Mikoto Uchiha won't be able to learn the Yin Seal.

The Yin Seal is extremely difficult to learn.

In the original work, Shizune followed Tsunade for so many years but never learned the Yin Seal.

The only way Natsuki can keep Uchiha Mikoto from aging is through a blood curse.

He then thought of the Hogyoku template of Aizen.

Maybe it can do that too.

Thinking it over, Xia Mu put his hands into Uchiha Mikoto's arms to warm them.

Mikoto Uchiha's body trembled slightly, but she still tried her best to remain calm.

A battle quickly ensued in the Forest of Death.

But Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, and Kakashi Hatake all won easily.

The three ninja squads also met.

They all tacitly agreed not to fight each other here.

After all, there's a third stage in the Chunin Exams.

That was a better time for them to fight.

Three hours later, the second stage of the Chunin Exams came to an end.

Mikoto Uchiha felt dizzy and her heart was burning.

"The result was pretty good."

Xia Mu stood up and said, "Tomorrow we'll go to the Konoha Arena to watch their individual matches."

Mikoto Uchiha nodded, her forehead covered in sweat.

The next day arrived.

Konoha Arena.

This is also the location where the third stage of the joint Chunin Exams between Konoha and Sunagakure was held in the original work.

Although no audience was invited, there were still some people in the audience today.

These viewers are all connected to the genin who participated in the third stage of the Chunin Exams.

For example, Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, Fugaku Uchiha, and Sakumo Hatake.

Obito Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha had no connection.

However, after becoming Minato Namikaze's student, he gained the attention of the Uchiha clan.

After all, he became a ninja of the Hokage lineage.

Theoretically speaking, he could also compete for the Hokage position.

That's why Fugaku Uchiha came to watch the battle.

But the most important audience member was the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been absent from the public eye for a long time.

However, it's not surprising that he came.

After all, his son, Sarutobi Asuma, participated in the Chunin Exams.

Just like yesterday, Xia Mu used the giant ray.

He and Mikoto Uchiha watched the battle from atop the giant ray.

But there are some subtleties.

Because Fugaku Uchiha was nearby.

But it's nothing.

Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha no longer have any relationship.

The examiner for the third round was still Minato Namikaze.

Although Natsuki had instructed him to find three ninjas to be examiners, he happened to have nothing else to do, so he became the examiner himself.

In addition, there was another reason: three of his students participated in the Chunin Exams.

"There are two rules for the third level."

Minato Namikaze spoke up, saying, "First, it's a random draw; second, it's a matter of stopping short of a draw."

Whether you pass the Chunin Exams depends not on your ranking, but on your performance.

With war imminent, barring any unforeseen circumstances, most of the genin who enter the third stage will become chunin.

"Round 1, Match 1: Kakashi Hatake vs. Aoba Yamashiro!"

Minato Namikaze announced loudly, "Please welcome our two examinees to the stage!"

"Kakashi, do your best!"

Nohara Rin immediately said.

"Don't embarrass our team."

Obito Uchiha snorted coldly and said.

Kakashi Hatake entered the arena without changing his expression.

His opponent was Yamashiro Aoba, who was three years older than him.

In the original work, he was a special Jonin.

But at this moment, Yamashiro Aoba looked very serious when facing Hatake Kakashi.

He had heard of Kakashi Hatake's reputation as a genius.

Starting school at age five and graduating at age five has created a legend of the fastest graduation.

Most importantly, his teacher was Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze was a student of Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

At the very beginning, Yamashiro Aoba formed hand seals and spat out a huge fireball.

The air was thick with the heat of the air.

Kakashi Hatake neither dodged nor evaded, but went straight to meet him.

Storm kick!

He kicked out, splitting the fireball in two, and at the same time, he took out the Thunder Fang Blade given to him by Xia Mu.

A dazzling flash of lightning appeared.

Just as Yamashiro Aoba was about to form hand seals, Kakashi Hatake swung his sword.

A large amount of lightning condensed into a beam of light in the air and struck him.

Yamashiro Aoba immediately froze on the spot, paralyzed.

His black hair stood on end from the electric shock.

"Sakumo, you really dote on your son."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised and asked, "Is this sword infused with Lightning Release chakra crystals?"

"It contains crystallized Lightning Release chakra."

Hatake Sakumo said with a smile, "But this sword was given to him by Natsuki."

Upon hearing this, Yuhi Shinku and the others were all surprised.

After all, Lightning Release chakra crystals are priceless.
