I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

[Unmarried women of marriageable age]: I think so too. Training ninjas is not simple and requires a lot of investment. It would be a waste to do these low-level jobs directly.

[Big Pillar Silly]: So what is the current size of your Hidden Mist Village?

【Unmarried women of marriageable age】: It's tragic. After the war and the bloody rule of the Fourth Mizukage, the total number of ninjas is less than 500.

[Big Pillar Silly]: Isn't this even worse than when I was alive?

[Unmarried older single woman]: Yes, after you passed away, the five great ninja villages went to war. I was not in that era, so I could not make a decision, but now that I am the Mizukage, I will not consider war again.

Don't laugh at me, but if you attack my Hidden Mist Village again, it will be destroyed.

[Minato Namikaze]: That's pretty bad. But that's how it is after the war; all the major ninja villages were severely weakened.

[Big Pillar Silly]: Hey... my ideal.

Hashirama Senju once again realized that the path he had chosen seemed to be... wrong.

Because... not only Konoha, but the other ninja villages were also not doing well.

······

Amidst sighs, everyone noticed that Kitahara Kaede's team had already set off.

According to Kitahara Kaede, since there are no ninjas in the Land of Waves, Tazuna's special request to find ninjas for protection indicates that he must have encountered some trouble.

Kakashi agreed with this statement, but they continued their mission.

because……

If all the tasks are rubbish, then students won't grow at all, so what kind of practice is that?

So everyone set off.

Then... they were quickly attacked.

Two rogue ninja from Kirigakure attacked their squad.

"Wood Release: The Technique of Three Rooms and One Living Room".

Kitahara Kaede also used her first ninjutsu.

He formed hand seals, and a wooden house instantly appeared from the ground, trapping the two rogue ninjas from Kirigakure inside.

Kitahara Kaede stood at the door of the house.

“Then let’s begin,” he said. “Those who want to hone their skills can sign up for the challenge.”

【Kitahara Kaede Observation (^_-) Small Group】

[Unmarried women over 30 who can't get married]: This way of exercising is really fashionable.

[Big Pillar Silly]: Yes, that's interesting. Wood Release can be used like this? Very interesting. It's not for protecting oneself, but to tie up the enemy. This way of using it is very interesting.

Tobirama Senju: ...

Minato Namikaze: The Second Hokage?

Minato saw that his beloved son had made some progress by going in to challenge first, and then he noticed that the usually analytical Second Hokage was very silent.

[Tobirama Senju]: This kid... he was just randomly forming hand seals, wasn't he?

Tobirama Senju explained.

[Tobirama Senju]: I looked closely at his hands. He was just making a perfunctory gesture when he formed the hand seals. He wasn't actually doing anything.

[Big Pillar, Silly Guy]: Huh? Doesn't using Wood Release not require hand seals?

[Tobirama Senju]: That's because you're using a bug, bro. Normal ninjas need to use hand seals. For example, with the Water Dragon Bullet, I need to use four hand seals.

[Unmarried older single woman]: Huh? Aren't water dragon bullets supposed to be spat out directly?

Tobirama Senju: ...?

P.S.: There will be a power outage today, I don't know when it will stop, I'll just write until the power stops.

I also need data: flowers, ratings, and monthly passes.

Chapter 017: 44 seals! Kakashi is so embarrassed! (Requesting data)

When Tobirama Senju heard Mei Terumi say that the Water Dragon Bullet was a spit, he paused for a moment.

[Tobirama Senju]: You don't use hand seals when you use Water Dragon Bullet?

[Unmarried women of marriageable age]: That one is still using hand seals.

Mei Terumi quickly responded.

Actually, she was a little excited... In other words... Does Tobirama Senju's Water Dragon Bullet technique still require hand seals?

Oh oh oh.

So, even without hand seals, she is still the true Fifth Mizukage.

It's quite good, at least in terms of water escape techniques.

[Tobirama Senju]: The normal hand seals are 12, but I simplified them to 4.

[Unmarried women over 30 who can't get married]: That's amazing.

[Big Pillar Silly]: Hmm... I don't understand what you're saying, and I don't know how to form hand seals.

[Tobirama Senju]: Anika, shut up. You're just like Kitahara Kaede, a liar.

[Tobirama Senju]: You liars pretending to perform hand seals when you're not actually doing them.

[Unmarried older single woman]: Ahem... Lord Thousand Hands, calm down, you're already very capable.

[Minato Namikaze]: Yes, Second Hokage, you are very strong.

[Tobirama Senju]: Stop flattering me, Minato, are you even doing hand seals?

[Minato Namikaze]: Well, I still use hand seals, but I've also considered simplifying them, such as using one hand.

[Tobirama Senju]: That's good. It shows that you've all made progress decades later.

This sentence shows that Tobirama's heart was still very open.

Everyone continued to stare at the screen.

Just now, Kitahara Kaede opened the door and put Naruto in the three-bedroom apartment.

There are two rogue ninja from Kirigakure among them.

However, Kitahara Kaede also went into the house.

It's like providing insurance for Naruto.

Everyone also noticed the scene inside the house. The house occupies an area of ​​about 150 square meters and has three rooms and a hall of nearly 60 square meters.

The two Chunin were also in the hall.

Then Naruto died.

"It hurts, it hurts—"

"Is this what a real fight is like?!"

There was also a Naruto outside the house.

What he put in was just his clone, a clone within his multiple shadow clones.

"Naruto, your basic taijutsu is not strong enough, and you can only gain experience in taijutsu when you go through life-and-death battles."

"And at this time, the experience points gained may be several times greater."

Kitahara Kaede explained.

His training plan for Naruto was to use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to send clones on their journey to the West, as the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is a good ninjutsu.

A regular clone will disappear if you touch it, but a multiple shadow clone is created based on the original body. This clone can withstand certain attacks, and even if it is destroyed, it will bring back what happened and the experience points.

It's an essential skill for cheating.

Naruto's rapid improvement was naturally inseparable from this cheat.

"Then can I also learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?" Sasuke Uchiha asked.

He noticed that Naruto's taijutsu skills were improving at an alarming rate.

So I can't help but feel a little envious.

After all... he needs power now, he needs to become stronger.

"It probably won't work." Kitahara Kaede glanced at Sasuke and then refused.

[Big Pillar Silly]: Why not?

Hashirama and Madara had a bond, so now that they saw Sasuke, the only remaining member of the Uchiha clan, they wanted to pay attention to him.

So... I can't learn Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?

[Tobirama Senju]: Brother, do you think everyone has chakra comparable to a tailed beast like you?

[Tobirama Senju]: The principle of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is to distribute one's chakra evenly among the shadow clones.

Then this shadow clone must be a high-quality shadow clone, which needs to be copied entirely from the original body.

Therefore, this shadow clone can not only use taijutsu to defend against attacks from others, but also ninjutsu.

Therefore, it is very difficult.

The first thing needed is a large amount of chakra.

The Uchiha brats have very low chakra levels, so how could they possibly use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique that I invented?

[Minato Namikaze]: I see, no wonder I could only separate five or six.

[Unmarried Older Single Woman]: However, since this is a rogue ninja from my Hidden Mist Village... then... according to the information we have obtained, the outstanding rogue ninjas from Hidden Mist Village all work alone, while the weaker ones generally join other rogue ninjas in Hidden Mist Village.

So... these two rogue ninjas who are locked up as sparring partners are only at the Chunin level, so where is their leader?

[Tobirama Senju]: You wouldn't be thinking of recruiting them, would you?

Tobirama, who was in charge of the brains, immediately noticed the new member's idea.

[Unmarried Older Single Woman]: You saw right through me. Our Hidden Mist Village has had a very difficult history, and it's not just me. Many people tried to save the Hidden Mist Village by assassinating the Fourth Mizukage, but they failed, so they could only become rogue ninjas.

So I also want to bring them back to Kirigakure.

······

These are Mei Terumi's true feelings.

I should say... they made a fortune.

Those who defected from Kirigakure were mostly highly skilled individuals, with the majority being the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. If she could gather them back, her position as Mizukage would be more secure.

Otherwise... aside from her, Kirigakure doesn't have a single person who can fight.

It's like playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) and you only have one royal flush, while the rest of your cards are just bad cards.

She is also very desperate.

So if Kirigakure can recruit rogue ninja now, it would be a huge win for them.

But now, are there really any high-ranking rogue ninja?

Just as she was thinking this, she noticed a large knife flying from a distance, piercing straight into a corner of Kitahara Kaede's five-meter-high three-bedroom apartment.

The broadsword, as thick as a decapitation blade, remained motionless on the roof, but a figure had already appeared on the blade.

He was long, but slightly thin.

He wore a headband belonging to a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, had short black hair, and wore the headband slightly to the left. His lower face and neck were wrapped in bandages, and he had sharp teeth.

[Unmarried women in their late 30s who can't get married]: They really hit the jackpot!

Mei Terumi cheered.

Minato Namikaze: ? ? ?

[Unmarried woman of advanced age]: Um, this person is Zabuza, the wielder of the Executioner's Blade from Kirigakure.

He once attempted to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage, but failed.

Then he disappeared without a trace, and I never expected to run into him here.

[Unmarried woman of marriageable age]: Please delay him for a moment, I will set off from Kirigakure and come here immediately.
