Konoha Gathering

Seeing his increased Chakra, Qingshui revealed a smile of accomplishment.

Although the maximum increase was only 100 points at a time, and the minimum was even as low as 10 points, every little bit counted.

Based on his previous experience working at Konoha Hospital for a month, his Chakra could increase by about 300 points on average per day.

If he worked a full month, he could gain nearly nine thousand Chakra points.

Now that his Chakra was close to eighty thousand points, he was sure to break through to over one hundred thousand in three months, reaching B-rank and obtaining another treasure chest.

From the first treasure chest, Qingshui had obtained the Copy Scroll, successfully acquiring the Rinnegan.

This was a more powerful reward than the Color Orb.

Therefore, he was filled with anticipation for the second treasure chest he was about to receive.

Anything produced by the system was bound to be a masterpiece.

Whether he obtained the Copy Scroll again or a scroll with other functions, Qingshui believed he would absolutely not be disappointed.

Time flowed by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed.

Because the Joint Chunin Exam was about to begin, ninjas from other Ninja Villages had also arrived in Konoha one after another.

At the Konoha main gate, another group of ninjas arrived.

If Qingshui were here, he would definitely recognize familiar faces among this group of ninjas.

Scorching Style Pakura!

They were the ninjas sent by Sunagakure to participate in the Joint Chunin Exam, led by the two Jonin, Pakura and Rasa.

"Friends from Sunagakure, please follow me. Konoha has already arranged accommodation for you."

As the host, Konoha had naturally arranged everything in advance.

"Thank you for the trouble."

While heading to their accommodation with the guide, Pakura and Rasa could clearly sense that several Anbu ninjas were monitoring them from the shadows.

Neither of them was surprised by this.

They would have found it strange if Konoha hadn't arranged for Anbu ninjas to monitor them.

Besides, they were here to participate in the Joint Chunin Exam normally, not to scheme for the Konoha Crush Plan.

Therefore, they didn't mind the Anbu ninjas' surveillance.

"The conditions are a bit basic, I hope you won't mind. If you need any help, please feel free to contact me at any time."

After bringing Teacher Pakura and her group to their accommodation, the guide left.

"Teacher, can we go out for a walk?"

Hearing her subordinate's request, Teacher Pakura nodded. She herself also wanted to go out for a stroll.

On the way here, she had already noticed that Konoha was much more prosperous than Sunagakure.

"Rasa, are you guys going out?"

"Don't forget the purpose of our trip. Instead of having time to wander around, it's better to guide them more so they don't embarrass the village in the exam."

The implication was that they were not going out.

Looking at Rasa's stern expression, Teacher Pakura found him quite boring.

They had only traveled for three days. What was wrong with relaxing a little?

Cramming at the last minute wasn't urgent at this point.

"If you don't want to go, fine."

With that, Teacher Pakura left with her three subordinates.

Rasa's three subordinates could only watch enviously as Teacher Pakura and her group went out.

"What? Do you guys want to go out too?"

Rasa's emotionless voice rang out, scaring Baki and the other two into shaking their heads.

"Remember, you represent the face of Sunagakure. Absolutely do not be like that Pakura. She even failed a B-rank mission, damaging the village's reputation."

Rasa was referring to the mission to capture Okubo Yahiko.

This was a mission issued by a noble of the Land of Wind. Because of the mission's failure, the noble was very dissatisfied with Sunagakure.

Teacher Pakura was naturally unaware of Rasa's criticism of her in front of Baki and the other two.

While it was true that the mission failure was her fault, she had made amends. After that, she personally completed several A-rank missions alone.

At this moment, walking on the streets of Konoha, Teacher Pakura and her group felt a local culture and customs that were absolutely impossible to find in Sunagakure.

The villagers living in Konoha always had smiles on their faces.

Moreover, Teacher Pakura could tell that their smiles were not fake, but a genuine happiness from the bottom of their hearts.

This was a scene that was almost impossible to see in Sunagakure.

"Teacher Pakura, do you think our Sunagakure will be able to have such a life in the future?"

The one asking questions was the only female ninja among the three subordinates, her name was Misaki.

As a girl, she was always more emotional.

"As long as we all keep working hard, we can definitely change Sunagakure!"

Pakura didn't dare to say that Sunagakure could be like Konoha in the future, after all, the gap between the two was too big.

"Huh, isn't that the Konoha Ninja we met in the Land of Rain before?"

Suddenly, Pakura's other two subordinates, Jin and Gousuke, spotted Qingshui, but because Qingshui was wearing sunglasses, their tone was uncertain.

Following the direction of their fingers, Pakura looked.

She saw Qingshui walking out of Ichiraku Ramen at that moment, apparently having just finished eating.

Jin and Gousuke's voices were loud, so Qingshui also noticed them.

"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. Are you guys also here for the Chunin Exam?"

"It really is you!"

"That's right, we will all be promoted to Chunin this time!"

Jin and Gousuke answered respectively.

As for Pakura, because she had lost to Qingshui before, she didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.

"Then I wish you all the best. But if you meet me then, I won't hold back."

On the first day after returning from the Land of Rain, he learned about the Joint Chunin Exam from Hiruzen Sarutobi, and also knew that he would be teamed up with Kushina.

He certainly wouldn't refuse the chance to be promoted to Chunin.

After being promoted to Chunin, he would get a higher salary working at Konoha Hospital.

However, after hearing his words, the two who were full of confidence just now suddenly lost their spirit.

"It's over, the championship for this Chunin Exam is gone. You're so strong, you're definitely the strongest Genin in this Chunin Exam."

As soon as the words fell, a burst of mocking laughter immediately rang out.

Everyone immediately looked up and saw a group of Kumogakure Ninja.

They had also just arrived in Konoha today, and were out eating when they happened to overhear the conversation, and then unceremoniously let out their laughter.

Because in their opinion, the strongest Genin in this Chunin Exam was Killer B.

As for Qingshui, he looked like a Genin of a very old age. Being still a Genin at such an age, in their perception, clearly meant he had poor talent.

"The guys from Sunagakure really have no foresight, to think that someone with such poor talent is the strongest."

These words immediately angered Jin, "Bastard, are you looking for a fight?"

"Huh? I'm just speaking the truth."

"Damn it!"

Seeing the other party looking down on him like that, Jin couldn't stand it anymore and was about to make a move.

But he was stopped by Qingshui.

"This is Konoha, it's better to leave this kind of thing to us Konoha Ninja to handle."
