I teach kendo in the ninja world

The exchange between Zabuza and Nozomi was brief, and it ended at lightning speed.

Between the rabbit and the falcon, before anyone could react, the fierce conflict that everyone expected to be a tit-for-tat confrontation had come to an end.

Xi, who had performed brilliantly, fell to the ground, holding his head in his hands in agony. Judging from the cold sweat on his head, it was obvious that he had suffered a big loss.

But the problem was that no one present clearly saw what Zabuza had just done.

"Nagato, do you see clearly?"

Yahiko, who had orange hair, looked a little serious.

Because Nagato's reincarnation eye also has super-powerful perception, they didn't pay attention to what Nozomi and the others did at first.

Until Momochi Zabuza took the initiative.

This sounds like a bit of a coincidence.

Over the years, Nagato's ability to develop the Samsara Eye has become increasingly mature, although he has not yet built the six-path Pain system that will be as complete as it will be in the future.

However, abilities such as gravitational repulsion, soul extraction, and ninjutsu absorption have all begun to take shape. Therefore, when he saw Zabuza, he discovered the aura of resentment in Zabuza that was so rich that it could not be dispelled.

The struggling and wailing of thousands of innocent souls left a deep impression on Nagato, and he immediately labeled Zabuza as an extremely evil person.

After all, in the eyes of the Akatsuki trio, who yearn for peace and understanding among everyone, villains like Zabuza who have slaughtered countless people are the ones they must defeat.

Therefore, they have always paid close attention to Zabuza's movements.

"It should be an illusion..."

Nagato's voice, as gentle as a mosquito, reached the ears of Yahiko and Konan, "Just for a moment, the resentful spirit on Momochi Zabuza suddenly fluctuated, almost condensing into substance. The genin of Kumogakure couldn't bear it. Withstand the impact."

"Didn't he commit a foul?"

Yahiko's face lit up with joy, and he immediately raised his hand to report: "Evil people like this should be kicked out of the field directly."

"Report to the examiner that Momochi Zabuza violated the rules of the examination room. It is recognized that he used ninjutsu to attack others and should be expelled from the venue!"

However, before Yahiko had time to act, someone on the other side shouted loudly.

Swish!

Everyone followed the sound and saw Sha Lan, a genin from Sunagakure Village, raising his arms high, with a mixture of pride and resentment on his face, staring at Momochi Zabuza.

At this moment, the invigilators of Yunyin Village could no longer sit back and watch.

In fact, when Nozomi fell to the ground, there was an examiner who wanted to step forward to do something to Zabuza, but was stopped by Dodai.

At that time, such a conversation took place between Dodai and Araki.

"Your Excellency Tutai, it seems that my disciple is better!"

Seeing that Zabuza put Nozomi down with just one look, Araki said to Dodai with a smile.

Tutai remained silent.

Of course, with his wisdom, he understood that Araki was not simply showing off Zabuza's fighting ability, but was comparing the performance of the two of them on the whole thing.

Xi's flamboyant behavior at the beginning was just self-assertion, so that's it. It's not a bad thing for young people to be a little arrogant.

But as a sentient ninja, he dared to take the initiative to let Zabuza get so close to him. What was he relying on?

Is there a rule that doesn't allow fighting in the first exam?

Placing one's own safety on a rule whose punishment is not too severe is something a wise man would not do.

Sure enough, within a few words, he was knocked down.

Moreover, compared to Nozomi's roughness, Zabuza's handling of this matter was just right in Todai's eyes.

Because Xi did not completely pass out.

There is a huge difference between being awake or comatose.

Because if Xi fell into a coma and was sent to the hospital, he would miss the exam and would most likely be eliminated in the first round. Yunyin Village would definitely not be able to accept such a result.

So in return, Zabuza will definitely be disqualified. Both Kumogakure and Kirigakure will suffer losses, and it can only be the one who takes advantage of Sunagakure and Iwagakure.

But it's different now. Although Xi looks in pain, he is still awake and will not miss the next exam, so the loss is controllable.

In this way, Kumogakure has a lot of room for maneuver in dealing with Zabuza.

These things flashed through Dodai's mind, and he had to admit that at this moment, Zabuza's performance was indeed superior to that of Hiki.

"I hope that after this incident, I can learn enough experience and lessons from it."

Tutai shook his head and murmured softly, then waved to an examiner next to him.

Therefore, the Chuunin examiners from Kumogakure did not step forward to embarrass Zabuza. Instead, they simply sent people to Nozomi's side, looked at his injuries, and left a sentence in his ear: "Master Tsudai hopes that , you can get enough growth from this matter."

Xi, who was kneeling on the ground and struggling, was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes suddenly burst into light.

It turned out that he had understood his problem as soon as he fell to the ground, and he was regretting it in his heart, fearing that he would be taken away by the invigilator together with Zabuza because of the battle.

Because he knew very well why he graduated early, and he was unwilling to accept such a ridiculous failure.

I don't even want to see the disappointed look in Teacher Tutai's eyes.

But now, the encouragement from the teacher seemed to give him a shot in the arm. In an instant, it seemed as if a new force burst out from his body, helping him overcome the mental pain and staggering forward. Stand up.

At this time, because of Sha Lan's report, the two Kumogakure examiners had to come to Nozomi and Zabuza respectively.

"Kirigakure genin Momochi Zabuza, Sunagakure genin Sha Lan reported that you used ninjutsu attacks on Kumogakure genin Nozomi. Is it true?"

The invigilator asked sternly.

"It's fake, he lied to you."

Zabuza's decisive tone made the invigilator raise an eyebrow.

No one has the ability to tell lies with open eyes.

On the other side, Xi also accepted the same cross-examination.

Of course, he also denied the fact that the two had fought.

The two proctors looked at each other and loudly announced the conclusion of the investigation: "After verification, Kumogakure genin Nozomi and Kirigakure genin Momochi Zabuza both denied the fact of the battle. Therefore, this matter is a false accusation by Sunagakure genin Sharan."

Sha Lan almost went crazy when he heard this conclusion. He shouted crazily:

"I don't accept it. They must have lied! Why did Xi suddenly fall to the ground when there was no fight?"

Faced with Sha Lan's doubts, Xi reluctantly smiled: "The weather was too hot. I might have had a heatstroke just now."

God is suffering from heat stroke!

Yunlei Tower is not an open-air place!

Are you treating us like fools?

People who could see the truth of the matter complained loudly in their hearts. However, since they knew that Yunyin Village had decided to collude with Kirigakure Village, no one who was smart enough spoke.

Except Sha Lan.

"Shadow! There must be a shady here!"

He was still yelling crazily over there.

"Please note that this time the Joint Chunin Examination is held based on the principles of equality, openness and transparency, and everything is done in full compliance with the rules. If anyone deliberately slanders or slanders, then Kumogakure will not hesitate to punish him."

Although Tudai said this to Sha Lan, his eyes were clearly looking at the Jonin Yekura of Sunagakure Village.

After receiving Tudai's warning look, Ye Cang immediately waved his hand to Disciple Juan.

"Ninja Technique·Binding Technique!"

Swish!

The girl Juan immediately took out a scroll from her arms, and under her command, the thick white cloth wrapped Sha Lan very flexibly.

The cloth roll with the sealing effect made Sha Lan completely defenseless.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Examiner, our companion seems to be suffering from heatstroke."

After completing the binding of Sha Lan, Juan immediately bowed his head to Tutai and said.

"Um……"

Tudai still admired Sunagakure Village's decisiveness, and he did not continue to hold on to it. After all, the other party was also one of the five great ninja villages. Although it was at the bottom, he couldn't go too far.

"The exam continues!"

A farce came to an end. Zabuza and Nozomi, who caused the conflict, had nothing to do with each other. Kirigakure and Yukakure seemed harmonious. On the contrary, Shalan, who was in charge of the fire, was forced to suffer from heat stroke, which made Sunagakure Village lose face.

Although Ye Cang on the second floor was very decisive when making decisions, it did not mean that she did not have resentment in her heart.

After all, there is no such thing as Sunagakure Village at all!

"Sha Lan... As expected, these guys who come from the Sha family are all the ones who fail to succeed but fail to succeed!"

Ye Cang secretly gritted his teeth.

It is inevitable that there will be a few ninjas in every great ninja village.

Although Sand Hidden Village is poor and has a small number of families, the Caosha family has a long history.

After all, Ichibi Shukaku has been making a living in the desert of the Land of Wind.

The power of sand manipulation will be greatly amplified in the desert of the Kingdom of Wind. They have been the dominant force in the desert since ancient times.

In order to balance the power in the village, the second-generation Kazekage Shamon popularized the puppet technique, hoping to form a force strong enough to compete with Caosha and his family.

His plan can be said to have been successful, and now the reputation of the puppet army of Sunagakure Village has spread throughout the world.

However, judging from the original historical trajectory, it was not completely successful.

Because since him, the positions of the third, fourth, and fifth generations of Kazekage are still controlled by the Caosha family.

I'm shaking with cold, when will the puppet technique stand up?

The culprit behind this situation is Konoha White Fang!

As a new inheritance with a short history of development, puppetry lacks the ability to cultivate elite talents in a stable manner.

Basically it all depends on talent.

However, two consecutive generations of puppet masters in Sunagakure Village lost the opportunity to become Kazekage directly or indirectly because of Konoha White Fang.

Otherwise, Scorpion's father has no chance of becoming the fourth Kazekage.

After all, losing to Konoha White Fang is not a shameful thing, and you cannot think that he is not strong just because of this.The leader of the puppet army, no matter what, his strength can at least be ranked among the top five in Sunagakure Village.

As for Scorpion's generation, regardless of talent, strength or background resources, no one in the entire Sand Hidden Village can compete with him for the position of the fifth generation Kazekage.

But Hatake Sakumo used a white fang short sword to abruptly cut off the prosperity prospects of the puppet family!

In this situation where the Caosha clan is dominated by one family, it is inevitable that the new generation of ninjas will develop an arrogant mentality.

Therefore, neither the puppet master nor the other ninjas are too fond of the ninjas of the Kaosha series.

However, no matter how unwelcome he was, Sha Lan was representing Sunagakure Village's face this time. It was a bit unjustifiable to be slapped in the face like this.

Ye Cangshou took a deep look at Dodai and Araki who was standing next to him, and temporarily kept this account in his mind.

"The overall situation is the most important thing. Now Sunagakure needs to win the support of other countries. I can't destroy the arrangements of the Kazekage-sama because of my impulse. I will wait until the Kazekage-sama arrives in person."

After her chest rose and fell violently several times, she temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart, closed her eyes and leaned against the wall, out of sight and out of mind.

……

The sea breeze is howling and the moonlight is melancholy.

The silvery white moonlight barely shines on the dark water through the thick fog, reflecting many broken limbs floating on the sea.

There are those from Konoha and those from Kirigakure, but if you look carefully, there are more corpses wearing Konoha vests.

After all, in this hunting, they are the prey!

Herring Island.

After fleeing for most of the day, Konoha's remnant army finally arrived at this stop to rest and recuperate.

At this time, they no longer had the high spirits and high spirits they had when they first set off from Konoha.

Regardless of whether they were jounin or chuunin, every piece of their clothes was stained with blood and they were in a miserable state.

in the temporary headquarters.

"How is Haiyi's situation?"

Jiraiya's hoarse voice revealed undisguised anxiety.

"No, it's not very good. Rescue is still being carried out..."

Nara Shikaku's voice is equally tired.

"boom!"

Jiraiya punched the small table in front of him, "Damn Kirigakure!"

"I'm sorry, it's all my subordinates' fault!"

Hinata Tokuma stood up with a look of remorse on his face.

"Ugh……"

Nara Shikaku sighed, "I can't blame you entirely. In that situation, using Kaiten Defense is indeed your instinctive reaction. If you want to blame, you can only blame the people in Kirigakure Village for being too cruel and weird."

"Yes, now is not the time to blame yourself. How much is the total loss? Have you calculated it?"

Jiraiya reassured Hinata Tokuma and then continued to ask.

"It's still being counted, but the losses that have been identified include..."

Having said this, Nara Shikaku paused for a moment, seeming to be preparing his words.

"Just tell me, I can bear it!"

Jiraiya waved his hand to tell him to speak directly.

"……Yes."

Nara Shikaku took a deep breath: "From the Akimichi clan from the east of the Akido hall, all six jounin died in the line of duty, and five chunin died; in the Yamanaka clan, except for the jounin Yamanaka Kaiichi who is still being rescued, three jounin , all 5 chunin died; all 3 chunin of the Hyuga clan died; Aburame, Nara, Inuzuka..."

Because the number of family ninjas is small and they all know each other, making it easier to count, the first batch of overall loss lists are almost all from various ninja clans in Konoha.

Listening to this series of numbers, Jiraiya felt as if Nara Shikaku's every word was like a sharp blade stabbing his chest.In the blink of an eye, he had been riddled with holes.

Thinking of the living lives disappearing in front of his eyes, around him, and under his hands, Jiraiya gritted his teeth, looked ferocious, and let out a low growl like a wounded beast: "I have nothing in common with Kirigakure. Dai Tian!”
