Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 436 Do you regret it now?

at this time.

Gravel has barely recovered from the effects of the previous 'flash'.

Rubbing his tear-streaked eyes, he stepped forward and mocked.

"Maki, Captain! You can't even handle a seven or eight-year-old kid?"

"If this is all you're capable of, why don't I take over the command from now on?"

"At least just now, Juan and I were able to suppress our opponent in the fight."

Gravel, who was already dissatisfied with Maki, a fake genin, coming to participate in the Chunin Exams and even ordering them around, now spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

However, he does have reason to express his dissatisfaction.

Previously, in a two-on-two situation, they did have the upper hand.

If it weren't for Kabuto's side getting rid of Maki and then returning to launch a sneak attack.

Gravel believed that he had probably already taken care of both of the Hidden Mist genin on the other side.

However, Maki, the Chunin captain, dragged the team down, so how could he not feel resentful?

Anyway, their team was only temporarily formed for the Chunin Exams.

Furthermore, Reki believed that after the exam, he would inevitably become a Chunin.

Therefore, they have no intention of giving Machi any face now.

However, in the face of Gravel's doubts...

Maki simply pointed calmly to the ground, at the huge dent created by Kabuto's monstrous punch and the surrounding mess.

"Even if you couldn't see it just now, you could still hear it, right?"

"This is the power of a punch from a seven or eight-year-old brat you're talking about."

Actually, when Dou was entangled with Maki in the dense forest, he didn't show this terrifying attack at all.

But that didn't stop Maki from using it to shut up Gravel's incessant chatter.

As expected, Gravel, who had only intended to use the opportunity to cause trouble, immediately shut up.

He had initially thought that the scene before him was the result of some powerful earth-style ninjutsu.

Looking back now, I'm glad that person wasn't fighting me.

At this moment, seeing that the two had relaxed their attitudes, Juan immediately asked his own question.

"Senior Maki, aren't we going to pursue those three Mist Villagers? They still have our mission flag."

Upon hearing this, Maki turned to look at the scroll.

He didn't mind explaining a few words to this gentle and polite junior.

"There's no need. Those three are quite strong. Now that they've disappeared from our sight, it'll be difficult for them to catch up."

"Moreover, even if we find the other side based on the clues, we might fall into their ambush. If any of us lose our fighting ability and are eliminated because of this, it would be a huge loss."

"Besides, we still have plenty of time. With our strength, it shouldn't be difficult for us to collect all three flags."

There's actually another point that Maki didn't mention.

At this point in time, most of the squads on the island are still fully armed. If they accidentally encounter other enemies during the pursuit, they may find themselves caught in a pincer movement.

After hearing Maki's explanation, Juan nodded thoughtfully.

However, at this moment, the puppeteer Li spoke up in an arrogant tone.

"There's no need to worry about those three Mist Hidden Ones anymore. The red-haired woman among them has been poisoned by a special toxin I made myself."

"None of these genin examinees can cure her poison. They will soon be forced to be eliminated because of the loss of a teammate."

"Hmph, consider that flag a burial offering for their squad."

Maki frowned slightly upon hearing this, but ultimately chose to trust the team's puppeteer's judgment.

The three quickly chose another direction to leave the area.

the other side.

On a huge, ancient tree with lush foliage.

He dispersed the chakra he had been maintaining and let out a long sigh.

"Alright, the poison has been completely neutralized."

After saying that, Kabuto immediately used ninjutsu to treat his extremely swollen right hand.

He hasn't fully mastered the technique of "super strength" yet, and that last punch just now was a full-force burst of chakra.

If Ringo Ameyuri's poisoning hadn't been more urgent, he would actually have been the one most seriously injured.

Now that the detoxification for Ringo has been completed, he immediately begins to treat his own arm.

Seeing this, Ringo Yuri weakly gave Kabuto a thumbs-up.

Even Hozuki Mangetsu, who was standing nearby, gave a thumbs up.

Faced with his teammates' praise, Dou smiled shyly instead.

"This poison is quite potent; under normal circumstances, it certainly wouldn't be able to be neutralized so quickly."

"However, it just so happens that my teacher had introduced me to several similar toxins before. I heard that they were all specially purchased from a very powerful puppeteer in Sunagakure."

"I practiced for a long time to learn how to counteract those poisons."

Hearing Kabuto's explanation, Ringo Ameyuri looked completely unconcerned.

"No matter what, if you can solve it, that shows your level. I thought you were doomed before. It wouldn't be good if you dragged others down and lost your exam qualification."

Kabuto and Hozuki Mangetsu looked at their oblivious teammate with black lines on their foreheads.

"Compared to losing the exam qualification, dying is probably more serious!" x2

However, before the two could even complain, Ringo Ameyuri immediately started coughing repeatedly.

Seeing this, Kabuto quickly grabbed a few handfuls of "Special Soldier Rations" from his medical kit and stuffed them into his mouth.

After recovering some chakra, he quickly formed hand seals again.

She used the "Water Flow Ring" technique to heal both herself and Ringo Ameyuri's external injuries.

On the other hand, Hozuki Mangetsu, despite enduring various attacks, was quite different.

However, most of the damage is physical, which can be completely ignored by the water transformation technique.

Even the toxins on the iron sand were expelled from his body after he released a "Water Iron Cannon Technique".

Ringo Ameyuri after her injuries have recovered somewhat.

Looking at the bandages wrapped all over his body, he cursed under his breath.

"That poison-wielding puppet monster, don't let him fall into my hands! I'll take him down sooner or later!"

Kabuto looked at Ringo Ameyuri, who was waving her little fists, and smiled slightly, but still offered words of comfort.

"There will be opportunities, but next..."

"We've already got two flags, let's finish this second exam as soon as possible!"

Let's return to the place where Kabuto and his group fought against the three Sand Village members.

After Dou and the others fled in a sorry state, Maki and his two companions did not linger any longer and quickly left the spot after exchanging a few words.

However, none of the six people who left noticed.

Of the three grass ninjas who were initially "killed," one of them was not completely dead.

This person was none other than the red-haired female ninja.

Relying on the powerful life energy of her own Uzumaki clan, she managed to survive even after taking a direct hit from Maki's "Wind Blade".

However, at this point, her life seemed to be nearing its end.

After the violent shock caused by Kabuto's "super strength" punch.

She was so weak that she couldn't even bring her arm to her mouth to bite it and heal her injury.

However, just when she was ready to give up hope and accept her fate.

A figure quietly landed beside her.

He reached out and gently supported her arm, then put the food into her mouth.

At the same time, Kanako Uzumaki heard that voice that she vaguely recognized.

Do you regret your choice now?
