After all, although Jianchuan Ju didn't want to become someone else's younger brother, he also didn't want to make another enemy in the village.

Fortunately, what Karutagi Yagura valued was the future potential of Jianchuan Ju. And since it was wartime, he did not ask him to give an answer on the spot.

Jianchuan Ju could only perfunctorily answer the other party by saying that he needed to think about it carefully.

"Alas~ It's my fault for being too good."

Jianchuan Ju was leaning on the deck railing, his feet dangling in the air, staring at the sea listlessly.

"Cut~" x2

Two somewhat disgusted voices came from behind Jianchuan Ju.

It was Mei Terumi and Zabuza who had just walked over and heard Jianchuan Ju's shameless remarks. Jianchuan Ju turned around and looked at his two teammates with some embarrassment.

"Weren't you guys refining chakra in the cabin? How come you came out?"

This time when they returned to the village for repairs, they took the Water Country's supply transport ship. Although there were no supplies on the return voyage, it was only used to transport troops.

However, the conditions were naturally not comparable to the passenger ship they had taken during the previous mission, and it was even more impossible to provide each person with a single room. Fortunately, the three members of Jianchuan Ju's team were lucky enough to be assigned to the same cabin.

Before, the three of them were practicing refining chakra in the cabin, but Jianchuanju was always thinking about the recruitment of Karatachi Yagura, and felt a little bored, so he ran out to the deck to get some fresh air.

"You are the captain of the team now. You ran out without saying a word. We thought something happened." Mei Terumi turned her head away in dissatisfaction.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to get over it." Zabuza was more direct.

Now Jianchuan Ju's expression became even more embarrassed. It seemed that he had been out of shape since he got on the boat, and this obviously did not escape the attention of his two teammates.

However, this kind of thing is not easy to explain to his teammates, so Jianchuan Ju could only speak vaguely.

"I'm thinking about the future development. Mei is working hard to become the Mizukage, Zabuza also wants to seize Needle and become one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Only I, the captain, seem to have no goals."

This is also what Jianchuan Ju really thinks.

From the very beginning, the sense of urgency of an ordinary person arriving in the ninja world forced him to set the goal of just surviving.

But after getting through the initial stage, I can improve my strength relatively steadily with the help of plug-ins.

As long as you are strong enough and not afraid of any opponent, then surviving is not a difficult thing.

Jianchuan Ju sometimes wonders whether he should set a goal or something.

For example, 'for the peace of the ninja world'?

Or 'for the peace of my ninja world'?

This may also motivate you to become stronger.

Unexpectedly, Zabuza directly refuted.

"I can also aim to become the Mizukage, and I don't want to challenge stitches!"

Mei Terumi said nonchalantly.

"Hehe, that's perfect, Tachibana, you can also set your sights on becoming the Mizukage. How about I become the Yondaime first, and then the two of you compete for the Fifth?"

"Uh, forget about the Mizukage or anything like that. It's too much trouble."

"idiot."

"Zabuza, what are you talking about?"

When Mei Terumi heard that Zabuza dared to mock her perfect suggestion, she immediately wanted to teach this teammate who couldn't tell the difference between the big king and the small king a lesson.

Jianchuan Ju also looked at his two teammates with a smile on his face.

However, Zabuza suddenly stopped dodging and was taken by a punch from Mei Terumi.

Mei Terumi didn't expect that Zabuza would be so obedient and not dodge or evade. She didn't hold back her punch at all, causing Zabuza to stagger.

However, Zabuza didn't care at all and said, pointing to the sea in the distance.

"What is that? It seems to be moving?"

Chapter 92: New Trend in Ninja World

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju and the others looked in the direction Zabuza was pointing.

All you can see is a tiny black dot moving slowly on the sea level.

"What is this?" Mei Terumi was also a little confused.

Jianchuan Ju immediately concentrated his mind, and a weak chakra gathered towards his eyes.

The black spot in the field of vision quickly enlarged, and Jianchuan Ju could see clearly that it was an ironclad ship sailing on the sea in the distance.

At the same time, Jianchuan Ju also noticed that a large number of dark-skinned strong men wearing Yunyin forehead protectors gathered on the deck of the ironclad ship, dancing excitedly, as if cheering something.

He shifted his sight slightly to the front of the deck. On a huge round platform stood a dark-skinned young man with a white turban and the word "iron" tattooed on his shoulder. His mouth opened and closed, and his body twisted randomly in a strange dance.

"Oh my god! Isn't this Kirabi?"

Thinking of this, Jianchuan Ju's eyes moved back and forth.

Sure enough, after patrolling, I saw a blond man with a slicked-back hair leaning against a railing on the right side of the deck, bored.

"The Fourth Raikage! No, he is not the Raikage yet, he should be called the Son of the Third Raikage."

Jianchuan Ju didn't expect to run into a large army from the Hidden Cloud Village at sea, and it was led by the famous AB combination.

You know, at this time the distance between the two ships was less than 10 kilometers. This distance was nothing for a ninja. Even on the sea, they could run over in a few minutes.

Jianchuan Ju didn't care about the reactions of Mei Terumi and Zabuza, and immediately found the captain of the Kirigakure logistics ship.

The other party is just an ordinary person, who should be the one who is responsible for transportation to the Hidden Mist Village from the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

When they heard that they had encountered the troop transport ship of the Hidden Cloud Village, they were also at a loss as to what to do.

There was no other way but to ask Mei Terumi and Zabuza, who had come along with them because they had noticed something was wrong, to find the only two senior ninjas on the boat.

Since the ship was transporting ninjas returning to the village for rest, there was no such thing as a commander.

Two senior ninjas were invited to the captain's room, one of whom was an acquaintance of Jianchuan Tachibana.

Thick-browed taijutsu jonin, Ken.

The two teams had previously returned to the front-line camp together after attacking the Konoha camp.

In the following month and a half, we would occasionally run into each other in the camp or while on missions, and we could be considered acquaintances.

Another jonin is called Lampe, a rare jonin of illusion in the Hidden Mist Village.

Although he is not famous, he is almost fifty years old this year. Being able to live peacefully to this age at least proves that he still has some unusual means.

"Doctor Tachibana, I heard from Zabuza that a large force from the Hidden Cloud Village was discovered at sea?" Ken asked as soon as he entered the captain's room.

"Yes, and they are led by the AB combination with quite a few people. It should not be an ordinary mission operation." Jianchuan Ju replied directly.

Although the AB combination of Kumogakure was not as famous as Mirai, they were also well-known in the ninja world at that time, so Jianchuan Tachibana directly pointed out the two opponents.

However, another senior ninja, Lampert, should have been briefly told by Mei Terumi what had happened on the way here, and the other party seemed to be relatively calm at this time.

"It's not likely they're coming for us, but we're not sure if this is a covert operation. Let's get the ship away from them first. By the way, do you have a telescope?"

Lampe addressed the last two sentences to the captain of the ship.

At this time, the captain calmed down a little after seeing the arrival of the two senior ninjas. Then he remembered that he had not yet observed the situation and that this was actually just Jianchuan Ju's one-sided statement.

He immediately rummaged through boxes and took out several telescopes to distribute to everyone. Jianchuan Ju also took one out of curiosity, wanting to try whether it could be used in conjunction with "Sharp Vision".

Unfortunately, it didn't work, so he gave his telescope to Lanzai next to him to play with.

"It is indeed the Kumogakure troop transport ship, but? What are they doing?"

Lampe closed one eye and looked across through the telescope, but his head was full of question marks.

"A new trend in the ninja world, haven't you seen it before? I don't know why Killer Bee is so popular now."

Jianchuan Ju silently complained in his mind, but he still explained very seriously.

"Maybe some group entertainment during the voyage?"

An old-school ninja like Lampe obviously couldn't understand this kind of thing, so he didn't dwell on it anymore.

"Well, none of this matters. The other party doesn't seem to have noticed us yet, and judging from the direction they are heading, they should be heading towards the Land of Fire or the Land of Hot Spring."

"They should be reinforcements for the front line, but I don't know why they are advancing from the sea."

Everyone present immediately thought of the recent information circulating in the camp that 'The Hidden Cloud Village is engaged in a tug-of-war with the Hidden Leaf Village in the territory of the Land of Hot Springs'.

"I don't know why they took this route, but it's possible that they are preparing to launch a surprise attack from behind," Ken also guessed.

"That could really be a covert operation. We should try to stay away from them to avoid being silenced."

"Although there is no war between the village and Kumogakure, if the other side wipes us out at sea, no one will go to Kumogakure to avenge us."

Several people agreed with Lampe's statement, and the captain of the logistics ship began to order the ship to turn around when Lampe first said that he wanted to stay away from the other side.

Although it seems that a battle will not be triggered now, the two jonin still ordered all the ninjas on the ship to be on alert.

At this time, even if a battle really broke out with the Hidden Cloud Army, the Blood Mist Ninjas would not just sit there and wait to die.

Fortunately, perhaps because Kirabi was holding a concert at sea, the Kumogakure ninja did not notice the situation here. Or perhaps they noticed it, but did not care about exposing their own troop movements.

The ship finally managed to distance itself from the other party without any danger, and Yunyin's ship disappeared on the sea level.

"Huh~ Dr. Ju, it's all thanks to you." Ken smiled and patted Jianchuan Ju's shoulder.

"Not a doctor. Never mind."

It seems that the other party's name cannot be changed, so Jianchuan Ju no longer worries about it.

Lampe, who had been quite talkative just now, left the captain's room immediately after seeing that the situation had been settled. He had no intention of communicating with the people present.

Jianchuan Ju didn't have any opinion on this, after all, he was a jonin. And he had been in the Hidden Mist Village for a long time, and he had seen all kinds of strange personalities.

He is just a little cold-hearted, but his mental level is definitely above the average in the Hidden Mist Village.

Jianchuan Ju just glanced at the other person's back and continued the previous topic.

"We just happened to be on the deck and discovered the other side in advance."

"It's a good thing you discovered it by chance. If the distance was too close, there would be some trouble."

After that, the two chatted for a few more words and then went back to their cabins.

Chapter 93 Reverse Upgrade

After this short episode, there were no more problems during the rest of the trip.

Everyone returned to the Hidden Mist Village safely.

The trio first went to the Mizukage Building to report, and as a result, they not only received the rewards for their mission during the war, but also received good news.

"Your official appointments as Chunin have already been issued, but you have been on the front lines all the time, so the temporary appointments do not affect anything. Now we can officially register you."

Mei Terumi and Zabuza didn't react to the words of the ninja in the mission office. After all, the team had already been used as Chunin on the front line, and this was just a formality.

Only Jianchuan Ju was roaring wildly in his heart.

"How can it not have an impact! ! If I had officially become a Chunin earlier, I might have been able to participate in the lottery 4 or 5 days earlier!"

Unfortunately, Jianchuanju could only think about these words in his own mind.

Since there were many supporting items for a Chunin, after leaving the mission office, the three went to the logistics department to collect their equipment. Only then were they officially considered to have become a Chunin of the Mist.

[Ding! Become a Chunin and unlock the achievement "Reverse Upgrade!"]

After hearing the system prompt, Jianchuan Ju immediately opened the system panel to check, and sure enough, this time there was another reward of 300 gold coins.

Jianchuan Ju was not disappointed because the achievement reward for Chunin was the same as that for Genin.

This was actually anticipated before.

After all, with the stingy nature of the system, Jian Chuan Ju had not yet received a reward of more than 300 gold coins for any achievement. Instead, it was usually 5 or 10 gold coins, which made him somewhat happy about this "big order".

After turning off the panel, Jianchuan Ju saw that his two teammates were sorting their equipment, so he simply picked up his tray and started counting.

A brand new Kirigakure forehead protector, a set of black clothes and pants, two shoulder pads, a Chunin vest, and two cotton sleeves were also thoughtfully distributed.

How should I put it? The things are quite complete.

But I have to say that the Chunin vests of the Hidden Mist Village are really ugly. And they are exactly the same as the ninja vests of Konoha more than ten years ago, which are simple flat gray composite armor.
