I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

[Discussion and observation of information in the Kitahara Kaede (^_-) group are prohibited]

"Cough cough..."

Kakashi quickly reorganized his thoughts.

"Since it's the Fifth Mizukage who's visiting, what brings you here?"

"Please don't bother our rookie genin."

With that, Kakashi quickly stood between Mei Terumi and Kaede Kitahara.

"..." Kitahara Kaede tilted his head and looked at Kakashi.

“Since it is the Fifth Mizukage, then you must have come for information about the rogue ninja Zabuza, right?” Kitahara Kaede said.

Then her golden eyes fixed on Mei Terumi.

The female Hokage in the original work is somewhat different from the impression she gives in the story.

It seems that people are taking a more proactive approach now.

·······

"Yes." Mei Terumi nodded quickly, knowing that her behavior was a bit too obvious.

But there's no other way but to be explicit.

I must make my appearance in front of Kitahara Kaede as quickly and rapidly as possible. I must leave an impression on him as quickly as possible.

The goal of the small group is to spend 3 hours a day focusing on Kitahara Kaede.

So... no matter which angle you look at it from, this is a big shot.

Even if it's not showing up now, it will definitely soar to great heights in the future!

The evidence is that even the First Hokage, an incredibly powerful and terrifying ninja god, was with her and was just a group member who needed to pay attention to Kitahara-kun.

and so……

Although the big shots in the group are quite intimidating.

But... she felt that the living Kitahara Kaede was the real boss.

The reputation and quality of Kirigakure have collapsed, so relying solely on her fighting ability is of little use.

So... it would be better to approach Kitahara Kaede directly, which might give us a chance to rebuild Kirigakure's prestige.

The older sister is in business... but she makes direct investments.

Therefore, Mei Terumi is showing her goodwill.

Of course, if the opportunity arises, it would be best to just poach them.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Kitahara Kaede just went directly to her Hidden Mist Village?

Chapter 024 The Mizukage's Kiss! (Requesting Data)

Because of Mei Terumi's interruption and arrival, an older sister with orange hair joined the Class 7 team at lunchtime.

However, unlike Kakashi, who had been in the group for a long time.

This was the first time Sasuke and Naruto had ever seen a [Kage] other than the Third Hokage.

“Kage-level strength—” Sasuke stared at Mei Terumi.

However, Sasuke now is similar to the original character; he has no interest in girls, so he doesn't know that older women are actually a wonderful kind of creature.

What he cares about is the other party's strength.

"Looks like I'm being questioned."

Mei Terumi sat blankly next to Kaede Kitahara. "Then let's give it a little performance."

"Kakashi Hatake, show me a Water Dragon Bullet."

"..." Kakashi.

He felt a headache coming on.

He feels nauseous at the mere mention of the Water Dragon Bullet, mainly because the Second Hokage's intense training has left him with a phobia of this ninjutsu.

However, thanks to this training method, he gained extremely fast execution speed.

"Water escape, water dragon bullet!"

Initially, when he and Zabuza performed hand seals together, it required 44 seals, but now it only requires -4 seals!

"——-Si-Zi-Yin-Xu--"

Kakashi completed the hand seals in 1.5 seconds.

At the instant the hand seals were formed, a huge water dragon shot out from the ground.

This is a true water jet.

Even when not on the water, the water jets can still form.

“Looks good.” Mei Terumi smiled gently.

Her alluring red lips parted slightly, and then her hands began to form hand seals.

She was also very fast at forming hand seals.

"Water Barrier!"

"Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!"

Like ocean waves, the water instantly enveloped Kakashi's 18-meter water dragon.

However, just as the water dragon seemed to pause slightly, a 26-meter-long water dragon surged up from beneath it.

He swallowed it whole.

And this is also a water dragon bullet.

While Mei Terumi was forming the seals on the water array wall, she had already wrapped the water dragon bullet in them.

This shows that... her understanding of water escape techniques has surpassed that of her predecessors.

"Is this the ninjutsu unleashed by a Kage-level ninja?!"

Sasuke's mouth dropped open in surprise.

"This... is so cool!"

Naruto was also instantly stunned.

As a rookie genin, Naruto had only encountered the Three Body Technique and Water Dragon Bullet, but now that a true Kage-level Water Dragon Bullet had appeared, he was immediately drawn to it.

Use the water barrier to envelop the enemy, then the water dragon bomb will engulf them.

The coordination is ingenious and covers a very wide range.

"boom!"

The ninjutsu ended, and the entire lawn instantly transformed into a small lake that reached above one's knees.

This is something an ordinary ninja could never do.

[Even the same ninjutsu, when used by different people, will have completely different ranges due to the amount of chakra output and the level of proficiency.]

Kitahara Kaede took out a small notebook and wrote it down.

"That's so cool!" Naruto exclaimed immediately.

"Hey~"

Mei Terumi smiled slightly, but her target wasn't Naruto, so she immediately ran over to Kitahara Kaede.

·····

Mei Terumi claimed that her purpose was to come as the Mizukage of Kirigakure, having received news of a rogue ninja's presence.

In other words, she came to take Zabuza away.

It's like in Journey to the West, where various deities take away their pets.

He offered a couple of apologies for not managing his subordinates properly, and then left.

But now is clearly not the time to let her take Zabuza away.

Zabuza, being a tough and resilient Jonin, was still a valuable sparring partner for Naruto and Sasuke.

Therefore, Kitahara Kaede asked her to wait at least a few days.

Mei Terumi had no objection.

but.

······

"Brother Kitahara, aren't you going to train your physical skills at all?"

Terumi Mei asked.

She is currently accompanying Kitahara Kaede to scout out the surrounding area.

After a few days' delay, they have arrived in the Land of Waves.

Aside from Team 7 and Tazuna, who was protected and had an extremely low profile and always thought he didn't exist, there was also the other two.

Mei Terumi, Zabuza, and his two exhausted subordinates also followed.

According to Zabuza, after becoming a rogue ninja, he wanted to launch a counterattack and return to Kirigakure.

However... when he saw how powerful Mei Terumi's water jutsu was, he gave up.

He's at best a Jonin, at most close to an Elite Jonin.

But it's still far from being at the Kage level...

Therefore, after learning that Mei Terumi's Fourth Mizukage had passed away, he chose to return.

This is a significant boost for Kirigakure.

After all, apart from Mei Terumi, the only other notable ninjas are Ao and Chojuro.

Therefore, Zabuza joined the village as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, possessing the Executioner's Blade, thus increasing the village's strength.

It's not that bad.

According to Zabuza, his attack on Kakashi was actually a result of his becoming a rogue ninja and accepting a job.

The employer is Cardo.

Kado controls the economy of the small fishing village of Wave Country, and Tazuna's desire to build a bridge for trade will undoubtedly affect Kado's hegemony.

Therefore, Zabuza was arranged to assassinate Tazuna.

Now, Zabuza has rested for a day and still has to accompany Naruto and Sasuke to train in taijutsu, but Kitahara Kaede is not with them. Instead, she has come to the Land of Waves and is wandering around at will.

They have just passed the dock.

Because of the inability to trade with the outside world, seafood in the Land of Waves is very cheap, but daily necessities are very expensive.

Kitahara Kaede took out her notebook to take notes while listening to Terumi Mei's voice.

Mei Terumi just asked him if he was training taijutsu with Sasuke and Naruto.

"I am a Wood Release user, so I only need to focus on unleashing powerful attacks rather than studying taijutsu," Kitahara Kaede casually replied.

“You really trust me completely,” Mei Terumi said. “Anyone with any sense knows how precious someone who knows Wood Release is.”

"So I'm afraid he might want to kidnap you the moment he sees you."

Terumi Mei said.

She noticed that Kitahara Kaede glanced in her direction as he said this.

"..." Mei Terumi.

Okay.

That's actually what she was thinking, but she's just using a gentler approach now.

And now.

Her slender fingers suddenly slid across the commoner's thigh, and the moment she raised them again, she was already holding a kunai in her hand.
