Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 422 The Clown Who Jumps Over the Beams

"Wow~ Is this Sea Fog City? It's completely different from the village!"

On the bustling streets of Sea Mist City, Ringo Yuri looked around excitedly, constantly praising what she saw.

However, her bewildered and bewildered demeanor caused Hozuki Mangetsu to shake his head and sigh repeatedly.

Saigyouji Kabuto, despite being the youngest of the three, acted like a little adult at this moment.

He pushed up his glasses and gave a seemingly serious explanation.

"As a commercial port city, Sea Fog City has a different positioning from the village's local militarized town."

"Besides, this place was only recently completed, so the buildings are newer and the style is a bit more avant-garde. Overall, the sensory experience will definitely be quite different."

"And ever since Tachibana-sensei became the Mizukage, her stance has been... eh eh eh~"

Just as Dou was about to continue explaining the relationship between urban development and ideology.

Suddenly, he realized that his two teammates had both run away at some point.

"Wait for me, you guys!"

Lanzi, who was picking out dried fish in front of a shop, vaguely heard Dou's shout and turned around in confusion.

But he discovered that the three little ones who had been following him had all disappeared.

"Quaa? O. O?"

"My esteemed guest, this totals 120 taels."

The shopkeeper handed a large bag of weighed dried fish to Lan Zai and hesitantly stated the price.

However, Lanzi looked down at his own body and found that apart from the Mist Concealment Armor, he was dressed in a completely bare outfit.

I don't know where the boss got the idea that it would carry money when it went out?

Lanzi looked back again, but the three little ones were still nowhere to be seen. Helpless, he decided to return to the "secret space" to get some money for the emergency.

Just then, Little Ji, who was following Blue Boy's feet, seemed to notice its predicament.

As if facing a formidable enemy, he shook his finger with a serious expression.

"Abiyabi dui! (ー`ー)!"

Then, to the astonishment of the shop owner...

Several gold coins fell from the sky and landed on the ground with a clatter.

They smashed the marble floor at the store entrance, causing it to dent and crack.

Little Togepi ignored the pebbles on the ground and excitedly picked up the gold coins and handed them to Blue.

Finally, the shop owner, still somewhat bewildered, handed over the bag of dried fish.

I looked at the gold coins in my hand, then at the shattered marble floor, and at the receding figures of the frog and the egg.

"this"

Unlike Lan Zai, who was having a great time playing in the city with several little ones.

Although Jianchuan Ju arrived in Haiwu City early, she did not choose to go out for a stroll.

One reason is that although Sea Fog City is now fully completed and more bustling, it is not much different from when he last came here.

Secondly, he came here mainly to ensure the smooth conduct of the exam, and he also had other important matters to attend to.

That's why the task of showing the little ones around was entrusted to Lanzi.

Logically speaking, the interval between the first two rounds and the last round of the Joint Chunin Exams should not be short.

The village chiefs, nobles, and daimyo who came to watch the games would all arrive only for the final match.

The preliminary exams did not require him, the Water Shadow, to appear.

However, since this was the first time Kirigakure had hosted the joint Chunin Exams, Tachibana Kenkawa decided to personally lead the team to avoid any unexpected incidents during the exams.

At that moment, he was listening to Chunyu's introduction in the examination hall.

「水影大人，目前参与这次考试的忍村已经全部带队抵达了海雾城，包括我们雾隐54人、木叶54人、砂隐42人、雨隐12人.总计10个忍者村，192名考生。」

"As per your request, accommodations have been arranged to separate candidates from different ninja villages as much as possible before the exam."

"As for the training grounds, no ninja villages have applied yet. It is estimated that the leaders of the remaining candidates will apply to us after the second exam."

While listening to Chunyu's report, Jianchuan Ju flipped through the list of test takers in her hand.

I didn't recognize most of the names, and the genin who participated in the exam were generally quite young.

This is likely because the war had just ended, and during the war, most ninja villages would have lowered the graduation age for their ninja academies.

Of these, most of the ninjas who graduated early and were sent to the battlefield either had mediocre strength and died on the battlefield, while those with talent had long since been promoted to Chunin.

Therefore, this exam didn't actually see many of those long-time genin who had participated in the Chunin Exams multiple times.

"Konoha doesn't seem to be up to anything, does it?"

After closing the documents in her hand, Tachibana Kanakawa felt a little more at ease.

Although he didn't care much about the rankings of the Kirigakure genin in this exam, he was genuinely afraid of seeing names like "Maruboshi Kosuke" on the Konoha exam candidate list.

In that case, he would have no choice but to find an opportunity to eliminate him in private, to prevent the other party from causing trouble during the exam period.

"I trust Chunyu-senpai to do things right. If there are no problems in the classroom, let's go check out the island for the second round."

Just as Chunyu was about to speak, a commotion arose outside, and it sounded like people were arguing.

Jianchuan Ju glanced at Chunyu and realized that he didn't know what was going on either. So, out of curiosity, she walked out of the examination room to see who dared to cause trouble here.

However, when he came out, he was surprised to find that there were acquaintances of his outside the examination room.

"Konan, are you actually leading the Amegakure team this time?"

Jianchuan Ju's greeting was quite loud, and everyone present turned their attention to her.

Before Xiao Nan could even open her mouth with a hint of joy on her face, a discordant voice broke in first.

"I knew it! I told you she must have someone inside! Otherwise, why could they get in, but we couldn't?!"

The speaker not only had a shrill voice, but also spoke with considerable arrogance, clearly showing that he didn't take anyone present seriously.

This left the Mizukage, Tachibana Kanagawa, momentarily stunned.

However, when Jianchuan Ju noticed the headband on this person's head, he shook his head speechlessly.

However, seeing that no one present spoke, the person in front of him seemed to feel that he had touched a sore spot, and his words became even more arrogant.

"I'm going to expose the inside story of the exams held by your Hidden Mist Village!"

"Shut up."

Jianchuan Ju naturally wouldn't let this clown continue his clamor.

His eyes widened slightly, and the two words he uttered so casually were accompanied by an overwhelming mental pressure that instantly pressed down on the speaker.

Those around him only felt a slight breeze and a bit of intimidation, nothing more.

But the man just rolled his eyes.

With a "thud," it fell straight to the ground.

After twitching slightly a few times, it foamed at the mouth and then became still.

The three genin following behind this person were also shaken by the aftershocks of the 'oppressive feeling' and fell to their knees, trembling uncontrollably.
