At the end of the Genin game, Yubi and Yagura affirmed and encouraged the performance of the juniors from both sides.
Next - is the Chunin group.
To be honest, Yubi had already anticipated the result when he saw the list of Kirigakure Chunin group.
Compared to tomorrow's highlight, what he cares more about is actually today's battle in the Chunin group.
The reason is simple - Zabuza and Mei Terumi are both listed here.
Both of them are still just Chunin.
In the original work, Yubi has no impression of the age when the two became Jonin.
But Yubi believes that, at least judging from Zabuza's performance and ability when he was Ninja Academy, he is very close to Kakashi Hatake - he should not be too old when he became Jonin.
However, in this life, his existence caused a series of chain reactions, especially prompting Madara to take action in advance, causing Third Mizukage to die earlier than the timeline, and suddenly bringing variables to Kirigakure.
Plus--a whole Shinobi World war.
There are also the promotion of Yagura, the rectification and reform of Kirigakure, etc.
Seemingly, the assessment of these two people was intentionally put on hold or delayed.
No matter what, at present, Zabuza and Mei Terumi are both Chunin of Kirigakure.
But Yubi has no doubt that these two people are of Jonin level.
Of course, Yubi also wondered whether Yagura had long thought about diplomacy with Sunagakure and let these descendants compete.
Therefore, the ninja "level" of these two people was deliberately not raised.
Although Zabuza and Mei Terumi are the same age, they are not from the same class.
When Zabuza killed everyone in his generation, Mei Terumi naturally knew about it.
I just didn't participate in it.
In addition, there is another small matter - Anbu came to report to Yubi yesterday.
When people from Kirigakure came to Sunagakure, except for some sensitive institutions and areas, they were naturally free to move around in the village, but Sunagakure's Anbu were monitoring and following them throughout the process. During this period, Anbu heard Mei Terumi's emotions.
It turns out that the most important reason why she asked for Yubi's portrait is not only because Yubi looks good and is strong enough - but also because he is single!
And their Kirigakure's Mizukage Karatachi Yagura--in the eyes of Mei Terumi, they are completely elders. They even have a family, so naturally the girl can't have any interest in them.
She only has respect for Yagura - but men like Yubi are the men she likes.
The prerequisite is that you must be single.
She is not interested in a man who has a partner or a family, no matter how handsome or powerful he is.
Yubi just smiled after hearing his subordinate's report.
It seems that in the future Mei Terumi will become a girl who hates getting married - not without reason.
The first competition of the Chunin group.
It's Taki Fukushima versus Mei Terumi.
As a student of Yubi, Fukushima Taki, in the exchange meeting held with Konoha, Ippei could be said to be suppressed by Kurenai Yuhi - his performance was unsatisfactory.
Therefore, Sakamoto did not participate this time, but Fukushima Taki is still there.
Unfortunately, when he competed in Iwagakure before, he also lost to Chunin from Iwagakure.
This time, facing Kirigakure's peers, he has to prove himself!
Just like in Konoha, his opponent is still a girl.
Extremely strong.
Fukushima Taki has heard that Mei Terumi has two types of Kekkei Genkai.
Sunagakure, Chunin's five-person team, except for him who is an old face, the other four are participating in this kind of "exchange with other villages" event for the first time.
He is also the captain of the Sunagakure Chunin group.
Being the first to fight, I also had the idea that I could never lose.
On the court, compared to Fukushima Taki who was preparing for the battle, Mei Terumi had a relaxed expression and looked at his opponent more unscrupulously -
"Your eyes and aura are very good - I heard that you are the student of Mr. Fourth Kazekage."
Mei Terumi brushed his long reddish-brown hair with his hand, staring at Fukushima Taki in the distance with a pair of green pupils, "You must really want to express yourself well in front of you Lord Kazekage, right?"
"Of course."
Fukushima Taki responded.
"That's a coincidence - I also hope that by taking this opportunity, you Lord Kazekage can leave a deep impression on me."
Mei Terumi smiled slightly, "In addition, this competition is still related to the reputation and image of our respective villages.
--Although I have admired Lord Kazekage a long time ago, but when it comes to matters, I don't want to lose. After all, our Lord Mizukage is also watching on the stage--"
"The other thing is - I am a person - I don't like the feeling of losing."
"I'm sorry - looking at it this way, I have to feel sorry for you."
Mei Terumi smiled a little apologetically.
These words made Fukushima Taki's face darken. What did it mean?
Does this woman look down on him?
After Mei Terumi finished speaking, his eyes moved directly to the stands, where Yubi and Yagura were sitting, and he waved enthusiastically, as if saying hello.
Yagura turned a blind eye.
Yubi actually thinks Mei Terumi is quite interesting.
Passionate, straightforward--and unrestrained.
But this character is just part of her nature.
Her background color still carries a strong brand of Kirigakure.
Referee Baki signaled both sides to get ready, then waved his hand and blew the whistle.
The battle begins!
However, Mei Terumi's eyes were still on the stands, as if he had not yet entered the state.
This made it difficult for Fukushima Taki to act rashly, as he did not want to lose his grace.
"Hey, are you ready--"
Fukushima Taki took a deep breath and gave a soft drink.
The next second, his expression changed instantly.
Because the girl, who seemed defenseless and whose attention was not at all on the scene, moved in an instant.
Like a vigorous leopard, it turned into a shadow and sprinted towards him.
And quickly Hand Seals with both hands.
"On the battlefield, every minute and every second, don't take your enemy lightly - even if it's a cute girl like me." Mei Terumi looked at Fukushima Taki, whose expression changed, and said.
Then, as he puffed up his cheeks and opened his mouth, a thick mist was sprayed out.
It quickly spread throughout the entire indoor venue.
Bang bang bang!
The Sunagakure people in the audience could not see the battle at all, and could only hear the sounds of some fistfights.
Then, in less than two minutes, a huge stream of water swept out of the mist, directed towards Fukushima Taki, who was unable to defend himself, and hit the high wall.
"Good--what a huge Chakra--"
Arai next to Yubi took a breath of air.
Even though they had some expectations about the strength of this talented girl Kirigakure, Mei Terumi's on-the-spot performance was still a bit too amazing.
There is nothing surprising about the use of Water Release technique.
What is surprising is the area and power covered by this Water Release.
This is a closed indoor venue, and there is no water source around it - being able to release such a magnitude of water potential out of thin air is beyond what ordinary Chunin can do.
Fukushima Taki, who was all wet, had just stood up from the water. In the next second, several water balls quickly hit his station like cannonballs.
The compact and intensive offensive seemed to overwhelm Fukushima Taki.
He had no choice but to hide in embarrassment.
"Not only Chakra--but also the control of the technique--and the accuracy of the release--"
Yubi's eyelids twitched.
Even he had to praise Mei Terumi's performance with just two simple hands.
Worthy of being the future Fifth Mizukage.
Bang!
Immediately afterwards, Fukushima Taki, who had just rolled to one side, stood up, and Mei Terumi seemed to have predicted his movement and approached behind him.
She directly kicked her opponent with a sharp kick.
This allowed Fukushima Taki, who finally took a breather, to be attacked again before he could counterattack.
To put it simply, he couldn't keep up with the girl's fighting rhythm at all.
The opponent's fighting intensity didn't seem to be on the same level as him.
