Participating in the Chunin Exam, I Was Broadcast Live!

"That's a possibility," Kitahara Kaede said. "But the other party has likely fled by now."

Kitahara Kaede rested his fingers on a tree, his gaze fixed on a water stain on the trunk.

Below the water stain was a piece of glass, about half the size of his palm.

Then he looked at the water stain itself.

This wasn't ordinary water; it was melted ice.

Through deduction, he realized someone had placed ice here to secure the piece of glass.

The glass could reflect light, but it could also… be used as a surveillance device.

Kitahara Kaede advanced a few hundred meters further and, as expected, found the same device on another tree trunk.

Therefore, he could deduce that someone had been nearby when Zabuza was making his move. However, after discovering Zabuza had been captured, the other party, being clever, used this surveillance device but kept their true body at a remote distance. It was likely they realized this wasn't a fight they could win.

For someone possessing such intelligence, a single figure immediately came to Kitahara Kaede's mind – Haku.

Haku.

But things were different from the original story now. Facing Kakashi with eight Water Dragon Bullets, Zabuza was incapable of attacking, and Haku was even less capable of resisting.

So, it was fine to ignore him.

"Should we pursue them?" Kakashi inquired.

His current words didn't sound like those of a Jonin Instructor.

After all, his mission was to be a Jonin Instructor and guide three novice Genin, so everything should have been centered around him.

But…

Being in the [Observing Kitahara Kaede (^_−) Small Group] had informed him that the person before him was a true powerhouse.

In front of him, he himself might be the novice.

So, Kakashi remained very humble.

After all, he had been reprimanded by the Second Hokage all day and was quite accustomed to it.

"No need," Kitahara Kaede said. "The other party's wariness indicates they know their limits."

"Furthermore, our mission is to give Naruto and Sasuke special training."

"That's true," Kakashi nodded.

Although the mission was to escort Mr. Tazuna back to the Land of Waves, the core objective was training the novice Genin.

So, having a Three Rooms and a Hall dwelling was the core of this mission.

Kakashi had no objections.

And so, Kakashi and Kitahara Kaede returned to the cabin.

Amidst Mr. Tazuna's complaints about not being sent back to the Land of Waves yet, the special training for Sasuke and Naruto continued.

"Wood Style: Three Rooms and a Hall Jutsu!"

Kitahara Kaede reinforced the created dwelling with one hand.

This time, Naruto and Sasuke entered the cabin together.

"A opening!"

"They actually entered in person!"

"Are you underestimating us?" X2

Two rogue Chunin jumped down from the rafters.

But this was just a feint.

However, Sasuke and Naruto were prepared.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Ten Narutos appeared.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Two Saskes appeared.

This was unavoidable; Sasuke's chakra capacity couldn't compare to Naruto's.

But this was their first offensive cooperation.

The two rogue Chunin weren't the real threat; the one to be wary of was Zabuza, who possessed Jonin-level strength.

Kitahara Kaede supported the wooden house with one hand, preventing it from being destroyed, and looked up.

"It's below!"

A woman's voice rang out.

Kitahara Kaede noticed that after a gust of fragrance, a blue figure appeared before him.

This was a very attractive woman.

With emerald green eyes, long, cross-patterned, reddish-brown curly hair, her right eye was covered by her hair, and her lips were pink.

But her physique was ample, with fair, tender skin.

And she had a fantastic figure.

She wore a blue strapless dress, a white belt at her waist, and deep blue nail polish on her fingernails.

Overall, she was a very beautiful, mature woman.

"You are Kitahara Kaede?" she asked.

"Mhm." Kitahara Kaede had already recognized her identity: the Fifth Mizukage from Kirigakure, Mei Terumi.

"Then it's settled!"

Kitahara Kaede heard her voice and then felt... as if he were placed in a soft spot, and then... his breath was forcibly taken away.

ps: To my bros who are into stats, tonight you'll also be buried by beautiful women.

Chapter 023 Mei Terumi's Ambition! Girls' Privilege! (Seeking Stats) 1

Kitahara Kaede directly experienced difficulty breathing. 0

Something was preventing him from breathing. 0

And the person doing it was the current Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi. 1

But he knew very well that it wasn't malicious. 6

Because if it were malicious, she wouldn't be in this pose... 7

"..." 1

Feeling that if he didn't react soon, he might become the first person in the ninja world to suffocate to death, Kitahara Kaede pushed her away. 0

"Maa—" 5

Mei Terumi, however, looked him over with curiosity. 5

"Then, allow me to introduce myself."

"I am Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure."

"I'm 27 years old. As the Mizukage, I naturally know Water Release, but I also possess two Kekkei Genkai: Lava Release and Boiling Release."

"My favorite food is tomatoes, and what I hate is cilantro."

"I don't really like reading, but I quite enjoy thinking— I've also made achievements in knitting—"

Mei Terumi introduced herself.

"Wait a moment—"

Kakashi was watching Kitahara on the sidelines, but that didn't mean he wasn't present. He had witnessed Mei Terumi's arrival and her immediate familiarity with Kitahara Kaede.

At the same time.

Being part of the same small group, he had seen Mei Terumi's message in the group chat—she was rushing over to capture Zabuza.

Under the Fourth Mizukage's rule, the vast Kirigakure had been collapsing, producing a large number of rogue ninja.

After taking over, Mei Terumi had been looking for a way to bring back vital forces. Therefore, upon seeing Zabuza, she naturally rushed to capture him.

And she had indeed arrived.

Kakashi was also cooperative. After Zabuza was troubled by the Water Dragon Bullet, he agreed to place Zabuza in the Three Rooms and a Hall as sparring partners for Naruto and Sasuke.

This was also in preparation for Mei Terumi to come and collect Zabuza.

And Zabuza would definitely increase Naruto and Sasuke's experience points during this period, so it was a win-win situation.

However.

The current situation was that Mei Terumi had arrived, but...

Wasn't your target Zabuza?

Zabuza is inside the house right now, why are you outside seducing Kitahara-kun?

"Kakashi." Mei Terumi slightly raised her beautiful eyes to glance at Kakashi.

But she quickly refocused her attention on Kitahara Kaede.

Looking at him now, she felt that Kitahara Kaede's gaze and face from this live view were much more real than seeing them through a screen.

Mmm...

Those cold, abstinent golden pupils, they're so beautiful.

Mei Terumi possessed a constitution that was slightly more sensitive, so she didn't have much resistance to that kind of gaze.

However, she couldn't help but inwardly complain, Is Konoha some kind of blessed land? How does it produce so many handsome men?

"So, do you remember my name now?"

Mei Terumi composed herself with a dignified air, "Kitahara Kaede."

"Kirigakure is a place with beautiful scenery, very suitable for tourism amidst a misty atmosphere."

"Don't you think it would be great to visit there after finishing your mission?"

"We in Kirigakure will definitely treat you as our most honored guest."

"And the girls in Kirigakure are also quite lovely."

"Different waters nurture different people; the women of Kirigakure have fair skin and are very vibrant."

Mei Terumi said, circling around Kitahara Kaede.

Kakashi was instantly bewildered. He didn't quite understand why Mei Terumi was being so forward.

But as he listened, he finally realized something was wrong.

"Mei Terumi!" Kakashi quickly exclaimed. "You this—!"

Kakashi had a realization. "Could it be that you're using Zabuza as a cover, when the real reason for coming here is—"

Kakashi found that his voice seemed to have been censored by the system.

As expected.

A prompt appeared before his eyes.
