This Kid Is Terrifying!
"Thanks."
The Yugito Nii were quite polite.
Besides being belligerent.
Such a good child, ruined by the Kumogakure...
That's a real shame.
Kyohiko sighed inwardly, while Kurenai Yuhi naturally said, "No need to thank me."
At this moment, he suddenly said, "Our Konoha treats prisoners of war well; this is our basic policy."
Who are the prisoners?
The Yugito Nii glared at him angrily.
Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "Don't be angry, my Medical Ninjutsu is rather poor, it'll be difficult to deal with if the wound reopens."
The Yugito Nii figures remained silent, their expressions indifferent.
At that moment, Kyohiko suddenly threw a large number of Shuriken into the woods to his right.
Immediately, the sound of rushing water came from the forest.
Immediately afterwards, fog rolled in, and a patch of trees withered and died.
Boil Release!
Mei Terumi activated it with all her might, and immediately silence fell.
They escaped along the stream Water Style.
Kurenai Yuhi said.
The water veins of this volcano are quite abundant; as long as Water Style Ninjutsu with a large volume of water is used, the three members of Mist Village can escape along the stream.
However, if we wanted to catch up, we might be able to catch up in the short time, but we would need the cooperation of the ninjas from Kumogakure.
Obviously.
The other two from Kumogakure did not have such thoughts.
With Yugito Nii injured, they were more concerned about Yugito condition.
After all, this person is their Jinchuriki!
Kyohiko had no intention of chasing after them; he only made a move because he didn't want to be remembered. His probing earlier had confirmed his suspicions.
Let's go.
They rushed all the way to the foot of the mountain, Mei Terumi and Kisame Hoshigaki struggled to their feet from the water, managing to scoop up Hozuki Mangetsu in the process.
"I never expected that Kumogakure would even send Jinchuriki."
Hozuki Mangetsu looked weak.
He can still transform into water, but he certainly doesn't have much fighting power anymore. If a fight had really broken out just now, he would definitely have been able to run away, but it's hard to say for Kisame Mei Terumi.
Fortunately, the other party did not seem to give chase.
"Phew! That was close."
They walked unsteadily toward the exit.
Before long, they reached the other side of the pass, and the first thing they saw in the crowd Genji, who was eagerly waiting.
At this moment, Genji looked around anxiously.
Upon seeing the three of them, he immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.
fine.
Mei Terumi and Hozuki Mangetsu are both safe!
Do you have a scroll?
Yugakure Murakami asked.
Kisame Hoshigaki shook his head and handed over only a scroll.
The three lowered their heads in shame.
one...
In other words, the task was not completed.
"Did not pass."
The Jonin of Yugakure looked at Genji.
Genji forced a smile.
Let's go.
pass?
He didn't want to anymore.
It's fortunate that these three are still alive.
With a heavy heart, Genji left without waiting for the other ninjas from the other villages, taking only Kisame and the other two scattered ninjas who had escaped earlier with him.
Once outside, he finally understood the situation and, after learning the whole story, Genji was somewhat devastated.
because...
Yugakure wasn't actually targeting them.
It was Kirigakure who started it all. Even Kyohiko's initial motivation for chasing down the Mist Village was that he was almost ambushed and blown up by them at the entrance, and then he was cornered and killed.
but.
He could tell too.
Something must have gone wrong with Kisame and the others, which is why they arrived at the summit late.
Why are you so late getting up the mountain?
"Genji, we... we fought with Kyohiko Yoshimine halfway up the mountain, but we were utterly defeated. Mangetsu lost a lot of Chakra trying to save us, which is why we slowly made our way up the mountain."
Kisame said, then immediately bowed deeply, "I underestimated them and was determined to fight him. Please punish me!"
Punishment? Hmph.
Genji snorted coldly.
Normally, he would have severely punished Kisame Hoshigaki.
but.
Now, of the twenty-odd Mist Village who came, only five remain. He doesn't know how to explain this to the Mizukage.
The requirements for graduating from Mist Village are already very strict; if they kill more, there will truly be no one left.
"Why!"
The Genji sighed heavily.
Hopefully, the Hidden Mist Ninja Academy will produce more promising talents next year; otherwise, it will be difficult for the Hidden Mist Ninja Academy to recover its strength.
Next year's ninjas...
Genji turned his head. "Ming, your classmates will be graduating next year. Do you know any promising talents?"
"Is it better?"
Mei Terumi for a long time.
Finally, she replied, "There's one named Zabuza's alright."
"Anything else?"
The rest are just so-so.
Mei Terumi answered.
Genji nodded silently, his hunched figure making him appear even older.
"I'm sorry, Dodai, we didn't get the scroll."
The Yugito Nii bowed.
Dodai was slightly surprised and said, "You didn't get it either? How is that possible!"
He looked at Yotsuki Ren and Motoi.
What's going on?
"Yugito fought Kyohiko Yoshimine one-on-one, but lost, so we had no choice but to hand over the scroll."
Yotsuki Ren answered simply.
After he finished speaking, he added, "But I don't think it's Yugito's problem; the opponent is indeed very strong..."
duel?
What the hell is this?!
Dodai, holding his breath, glanced at the other ninja from various villages in the distance, as well as Jiraiya laughing loudly, and...
That pile of scrolls.
His vision went black for a moment, and he almost lost his breath. He took a deep breath and recovered.
"Dodai, I've dragged them into this. I'll work even harder when I get back!"
Yugito didn't explain herself, nor did she want to implicate her teammates, so she took all the blame upon herself.
Dodai took a deep breath and asked, "How did you lose? Without using Tailed Beast Chakra?"
He knew that Yugito could now control a portion of the Tailed Beast Chakra without causing it to go berserk.
Logically speaking, such an ability should be a fatal blow...
That's why Kumogakure allowed Yugito to take the exam, but unexpectedly, he lost!
He urgently needed to understand Kyohiko Yoshimine's strength.
Yugito, "I used it, but the opponent is very strong!"
With a serious expression, she recounted the battle in meticulous detail.
Dodai had followed the Third Raikage for many years and was no ordinary ninja; the more he listened, the more solemn his expression became.
Terrifying speed.
Powerful and meticulous Taijutsu and sword skills.
The skill levels of both hands are roughly equal.
Strength of a Hundred.
The sum of these four factors is truly terrifying!
Dodai gasped, his gaze frequently drifting into the distance.
No wonder the people from Kirigakure and Iwagakure conspired to kill this brat. If he grows up, he might become another White Fang of Konoha, or even more terrifying than White Fang!
He remained silent for a long time before finally patting Yugito on the shoulder.
"It's okay, the one who starts first isn't necessarily the one who finishes last. You... well, keep going, who knows, you might be able to surpass him someday."
A young genius is nothing before he grows up.
certainly.
Dodai knew Yugito; he knew the girl was proud and strong-willed. Telling her that the child might be assassinated one day wouldn't convince her.
Let's use this as motivation.
Besides Konoha, some surviving ninja from smaller Jonin were also happy, but...
Kyohiko remained calm. Upon learning that the third exam had been canceled and that those who received the scrolls could decide for themselves whether to advance, he didn't make Jiraiya too happy and forcibly took Jiraiya away from the exam hall.
We arrived at a secluded spot outside.
He shared the information he had obtained with Jiraiya.
Uzumaki Clan...
Yuzuki.
Jiraiya joy turned into seriousness.
"I see."
This news is very important to him, Kushina, and even Konoha!
