Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

The ground also shook violently and collapsed as these cracks spread wildly, and a large amount of soil was lifted up to form earth waves.

Qingye finally couldn't remain calm and stood there any longer. He immediately concentrated his chakra in his feet and leaped into the air, preparing to jump out of the range of the Earth-Splitting Palm Ninjutsu.

Of course Qing also knew that since they were in the air and had no leverage, this was the best time for these students to attack.

Sure enough, a thick, high-speed rotating stream of water shot out from the fog.

Qing looked at the speed of the water and its diameter which was larger than his thigh and knew that being hit would not feel good.

Fortunately, Qing was prepared when he jumped. He quickly formed seals with his hands, then put his palms together and pushed out.

"Wind Style*Sky-Splitting Palm"

A simple C-level ninjutsu actually created a gust of wind that easily blew away the incoming water column.

“Not a bad match, though.”

Before Qing could finish praising him, he was about to fall.

Jianchuan Ju, with a small frog standing on his shoulder, had already flashed out from a tall tree crown and pounced towards Qing Fei with a dagger in his hand.

Qing, who was in the air, had to twist his body forcefully and kick Jianchuan Ju, who was attacking him, sideways, sending him flying.

However, both Jianchuan Ju, who was kicked to the ground, and the little frog left in the air, suddenly burst into smoke at the same time.

The little frog in the air was actually disguised as Jianchuan Ju using the transformation technique.

At this moment, Jianchuan Ju, who had completed his transformation, held high in his hand a water shuriken formed by the convergence of clear water and spinning at high speed.

"Eat me, flying water shuriken!"

Although he said "fly" the water shuriken, Jianchuan Ju had no intention of throwing the shuriken at all, and just pressed it straight towards Qing.

Qing's face was already full of black lines at this time.

However, there was no time to use ninjutsu at this critical moment, so he could only raise his hand and slap Jianchuan Tachibana's wrist.

The flying water shuriken brushed against Qing's hair and flew into the woods with a whistling sound. "No, a short sword!"

Since Jianchuan Ju's real body is right in front of him, then what about the man with the dagger who was kicked away just now?

Before Qing could think carefully, Jianchuan Ju had already grabbed Qing's wrist with his backhand, smiling.

The 'Kanakawa Tachibana' who had just been kicked away also emerged from the exploding smoke. It was Momochi Zabuza who had been preparing for a long time.

At this moment, Zabuza had already used the clone technique, splitting into three and rushing towards Qing whose wrist was grabbed by Jianchuan Tachibana.

Three Momochi Zabuza, each holding a short sword, attacked Qing from three different angles.

Seeing this, Qing had no choice but to grab Jianchuan Ju who was holding his wrist with his backhand. He tensed the muscles in his right arm and used Jianchuan Ju as a weapon to draw a huge semicircle in the air.

"Hey, hey, don't!"

Accompanied by Jianchuan Ju's shrill cries.

"Bang, bang, boom"

The two 'Zabuza' were knocked into smoke, and the last Zabuza's real body was directly hit by Jianchuan Tachibana, causing stars to appear in his eyes, and they fell to the ground together.

On the other side, Mei Terumi was dodging on the cracked ground and wanted to go forward to provide support.

Seeing that his two teammates had lost their fighting power, he decided to go all out and directly formed hand seals and released ninjutsu.

[Water Style*Water Rush Wave]

Terumi Mei let out a delicate cry, and the water that came out of her mouth turned into turbulent waves, carrying a large amount of soil created by the previous earth-splitting palm, and rushed towards Qing's location.

As for whether the two people who had just been knocked to the ground by Qing were also within the attack range, that was not something Mei Terumi considered.

Jianchuan Ju, who was lying on the ground, felt something was wrong when he heard Mei Terumi's voice.

Even when Qing grabbed him and flung him away just now, the 'danger forewarning' that he had only given a slight warning about was now sending out a frantic alarm in Jianchuan Ju's mind.

Jianchuan Ju, who was lying on Zabuza with a sore back, turned his head to look at the waves and boulders coming towards him and could only hum weakly.

"That's not in the plan."

The surging waves slowly receded, and the grove in the training ground was now in ruins.

Qing picked up Zabuza Momochi and Tachibana Kanegawa in each hand, dispersed the chakra gathered in his feet, and landed steadily on the ground.

Just now, I saw two people falling to the ground and they really had no other tricks.

Qing, who was feeling a little overwhelmed by the wave after wave of attacks, decisively picked up the two people, leaped onto the waves created by the water rush, and avoided the final sneak attack from Mei Terumi unscathed.

After Qing landed, he casually put down the two people he was carrying.

But their expressions were completely different.

Zabuza was turning his head away in a somewhat depressed manner, obviously dissatisfied with his unremarkable performance in the previous battle.

As planned before, if the sneak attack fails, Terumi Mei will step forward and fight with Jianchuan Jue in close combat to hold Qing back, and then find an opportunity to perform the "Water Style*Water Dragon Bullet Technique" to try to make the final move.

Who would have thought that not only would he be knocked to the ground by Jianchuan Ju after his sneak attack failed, but he was also nearly swept away by the water wave created by Terumi Mei.

Unlike Zabuza who was still sulking on the other side.

Jianchuan Ju didn't think there was anything shameful in losing to Ao, a jonin.

Instead, he looked at Mei Terumi who was walking towards him with her tongue out, looking a little embarrassed.

"That last water wave of yours felt a bit like a water-earth combined ninjutsu, it's pretty powerful!"

Hearing this, Mei Terumi no longer felt guilty. She raised her little head and said proudly.

"Right, I just saw you two fail, and I instantly thought of this method of attack."

When Zabuza heard Mei Terumi say that his sneak attack failed, he became even angrier, but he had no way to refute it.

At this time, Qing also spoke up: "Okay, as this is your first time teaming up, you guys have cooperated very well. Next, I'll treat everyone to a meal, and then we'll review this battle."

The three of them looked at each other, then quickly followed Lai Qing's figure and walked out of the training ground together.

Lan Zai, who only released an oversized "water gun" during the whole process, saw the waves recede and jumped out of the forest.

What he saw was the back of his master turning and leaving.

Lanzai's little head was filled with doubts at this moment.

"Quack~~(>。<#)?"

Chapter 21 C-level mission

Three days have passed since the reorganization of the Qing team.

Apart from occasional instructions during these three days, Qing only led the three kids to complete four of the simplest D-level tasks.

It was also to take care of the two people, Jianchuan Tachibana and Momochi Zabuza, who had just become Genin. Through this simplest task, the two of them were familiar with the process of ninjas receiving and executing tasks.

Ninja missions are divided into five levels: D~S:

D-level tasks are usually the simplest tasks that do not require combat, such as taking care of pets, fishing, and farming.

C-level missions are slightly more difficult, meaning you may get hurt while performing the mission. However, they usually face ordinary people, such as capturing wild animals and eliminating bandits.

B-level missions are more dangerous and may involve fighting with hostile ninjas. You need to be a Chunin or above to accept them. The missions may even include dangerous activities such as assassinating ninjas and undercover spies.

As for A-level and S-level missions, they can only be undertaken by jonin. These two types of missions often involve crises and secrets of the ninja village or the country, and require facing high-level combat forces from other countries or even destroying the entire ninja army.

Although the team leader Qing is a jonin, in a newly formed team like this, the jonin usually plays a more guiding role and will not participate in the mission.

Therefore, the team still accepts missions according to the combat power standards of three Genin, and accepts D-level and C-level missions.

Qing was happy to see his disciples busying around, and to have a veteran like Terumi Mei, who had graduated a year ago, to guide him, while he could just sit back and do nothing and earn money.

However, since the Hidden Mist Village is different from Konoha, the D-level missions themselves are not taken seriously by the village. In addition, due to the recent pre-war preparations, the number of such missions is even rarer.

So Qing agreed and took on a C-level mission today for everyone to practice.

Jianchuan Ju felt good about this, as it was just as he had guessed before. The official mission issued by the Ninja Village was indeed approved by the system.

In the four D-level tasks in the past two days, I got 5 gold coins for each one. This is equivalent to gaining a new channel for gold coins in addition to daily tasks and achievements.

Just in time today, I can find out how much gold coin rewards there are for C-level tasks.

After picking and choosing, the four of them left the mission center.

After walking out of the Mizukage Building, Mei Terumi still complained somewhat indignantly.

"Teacher Qing, are you trying to make things difficult for us by choosing a mission like 'rescue a child kidnapped by pirates'? It would be better to choose the previous one, which was to capture a pregnant tiger shark for the nobles of the Water Country."

Qing was also a little embarrassed about this.

But it's no wonder that Mei Terumi felt the mission was bad. This mission was issued by villagers in a remote area on the border of the Water Country.

The low reward for the mission is only one aspect. At the same time, since the villagers themselves have little intelligence capabilities, this type of mission is usually only the simplest, such as basic information such as a certain pirate near a certain sea area.

Moreover, most pirates' looting trips often last for a long time, so it is undoubtedly difficult to find these pirates in the vast ocean.

The reward is low, the journey is long, and the task is complicated. It can be said to be the least cost-effective type of C-level task.

"We can't help it. The number of village missions has been reduced recently. The original intention was to prepare for war. However, in order to maintain the expenses of the tribesmen, the big families have been accepting missions crazily recently. C-level and B-level missions are too popular."

Jianchuan Tachibana had some understanding of this when chatting with Saigyouji Keiko and Hoshigaki Kisame these two days, so she also spoke up to help Qing explain it.

"What Ju is saying is correct. But this mission is not without benefits. Since the mission was just issued, it seems that the issuer has not left the village yet. We can get some information from him first."

Qing Jianchuanju spoke up to explain for himself and quickly took over the conversation.

However, Qing also knew that Mei Terumi was only complaining verbally and would still perform her mission wholeheartedly.

Zabuza was still standing there with a cool expression on his face and didn't say a word. Oh, no. It was a cool expression with a bandage on.

The three arrived at the inn where the person who issued the task was staying.

I can only say that I didn't expect that Kirigakure, one of the five major ninja villages, could have such a simple hotel. If the black sign on the door of the hotel was not a little uneven and not completely covered by dirt, no one would know that this was a hotel.

Looking at the inn door which was half covered by vines, the four of them pushed the door open with a bit of helplessness.

For the purpose of training students, Qing basically just watched this simple task.

"Hello, we're looking for Hugo." As a senior, Mei Terumi stepped forward and asked.

The lady at the front desk didn't say a word, but just raised her chin and pointed it at a young man in simple clothes who was sitting in a daze in the corner of the lobby.

The young man's haggard face had obvious features of a coastal fisherman. His clothes were very simple short-sleeved shirt and long pants, with many salt stains left by the sea water.

His skin was tanned and rough from the sun and wind, and his arms and shoulders were particularly muscular from years of fishing and boating.

It’s just that he must have been worried recently and hasn’t been eating or sleeping enough, which has caused him to look haggard and weak.

Jianchuan Ju subconsciously analyzed the person in the corner and concluded that he should be the one who issued the task.

The three little ones walked quickly up to the man.

Although Mei Terumi's voice was not small when she was at the front desk just now, given her mental state, she obviously did not notice the previous voice.

It was not until the three people came closer that the middle-aged man raised his eyes and looked at the three people coming over.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you, three ninja masters?"

Since the three of them were obviously wearing ninja costumes and the Hidden Mist Village forehead protectors, Mr. Hugo naturally would not treat them as just ordinary children, and there was a hint of respect in his tone.

With Mei Terumi's personality, she wouldn't be shy about it. She introduced the trio openly and explained that they were there to learn more details.

The man began to narrate in a low voice with a sad face.

"Our village is an ordinary village near the border of the Water Country. We make a living by fishing. Although our life is poor, we are very happy."

"."

Jianchuan Ju saw that this person seemed to be preparing to speak for a long time and felt speechless, so he had to interrupt him.

"Get to the point! Is there any useful information?"

His emotions were suddenly interrupted and the fisherman was still a little dazed.

Mei Terumi also looked at Tachibana Kanegawa with some reproach, but did not refute it.

Seeing this, the man continued.

"There were about 30 or 40 pirates who attacked our village, and they only had one ship."

"Not only was the property of our village looted, but seven children were also kidnapped. Money is not important. I just hope that Master Ninja can rescue the children." The man restrained his emotions a little and looked at everyone expectantly.

"The hostages kidnapped by pirates may not be alive." Zabuza pointed out the problem calmly.
