Naruto Hunter

"Okay, that's the end of the self-introduction." Nobuo Sakamoto said: "I know a little bit about Terumi Mei and Shio's situation. Isaki, have you learned how to climb trees and tread water?"

"I learned it. My father taught me it when I first entered fourth grade."

"Very good, then we can save this step. Now let's go to the training ground. I want to see your combat effectiveness before considering what kind of missions to take on."

Nobuo Sakamoto disappeared after speaking. Xi was the first to react: "Follow him. He didn't say which training ground. This is a test of our speed."

There are several training grounds in Kirigakure Village, all on the outskirts of the village. You can definitely find them if you look for them one by one, but the evaluation will be lower.

Among the three, Shio is the fastest. Because of his telekinesis ability, his physical fitness is much better than Terumi Mei, but in terms of destructive power of ninjutsu, Mei Terumi is undoubtedly the strongest. Shio is the first one to rush out. A figure could be vaguely seen running. He stared at the figure closely and kept following behind. Terumi Mei was following behind Xi's figure. The slowest Yumi Isaki was not to be outdone. She could Follow Terumi Mei.

Just like this, one by one, they arrived at the No. 4 training ground. Nobuo Sakamoto had just landed, and the figure of Xi appeared in his sight. He had been following closely. Nobuo Sakamoto had a flash of appreciation in his eyes, especially when he saw the other two people. After catching up with someone else, his admiration became even stronger. This was the most reasonable arrangement, which brought out Xi's fast speed without causing others to lose track of him.

After Yumi Isaki landed, Nobuo Sakamoto said: "Your performance is very good, better than I expected. The next battle will test you. Since your strength cannot be measured by ordinary genin, I will I will take it very seriously. You can attack with the determination to kill me, and you don’t have to worry about the consequences. I will reserve my murderous intention and fight back with you, so you don’t have to worry about being killed by me. Do you have any questions?"

After two years of getting along and training each other, there is a tacit understanding between Shio and Terumi Mei. They know each other better than they know themselves in many cases. As soon as Sakamoto Nobuo finished speaking, the two of them started working together at the same time, because They knew that the other party would definitely take action, and they could even guess how the other party would take action. Terumi Mei immediately rushed forward and entangled Nobuo Sakamoto, while Shio quickly formed a seal on the other side.

Isaki Yumi's reaction was also very fast. When she saw the two people moving, she had no time to release the wind escape, so she just used illusion to interfere, which could affect the other party every second.

The Shige seal was performed very quickly. Nobuo Sakamoto, who was fighting over there, had no chance to get away. His ninjutsu had already arrived: "Water Release - Big Explosive Water Wave!!"

This is a large-scale defensive ninjutsu, and it is also the unique move of Kisame Ingakaki in the anime. This move is very powerful for trapping enemies, but it lacks critical lethality. Kisame Ingakaki fuses the same muscles to become a shark man. , can walk freely through the water, and even breathe without problems, but ordinary ninjas cannot. If they don't find a chance to escape, they can be suffocated to death without the enemy taking action.

The holding time of a ninja cannot be measured by ordinary people, but in the early stage, it is ordinary holding of breath. Holding one's breath while fighting consumes too much. Terumi Mei has long been accustomed to fighting in the water. This is also a tactic practiced by the two of them. Xi is responsible for controlling , Terumi Mei is responsible for the main attack. She first uses a large explosive water wave to trap the enemy in a water ball. Terumi Mei then uses Melting Release to attack. At the same time, Xi continues to use ninjutsu to control the opponent and control the opponent until death.

"Water Release - Water Body." Xi separated two water bodies, held his arms and threw them towards Nobuo Sakamoto. It was difficult for people to move in the water. Nobuo Sakamoto also knew that it was not good to go on like this and wanted to escape from here. But Terumi Mei's attack was too fast, and he couldn't even do the seal. This was because he was careless. He didn't expect the opponent to attack suddenly. Logically speaking, they would answer first before starting the fight.

It must be said that while he was in danger, he admired Shio and Terumi Mei's decisiveness and fighting spirit.

This appreciation quickly turned into panic. He didn't expect the other party to be so cruel. Two water clones rushed over and hugged him tightly. Terumi Mei took the opportunity to break away and retreat, and at the same time released the ninjutsu: "Melt Release-Monster Melting" Technique!"

The strong acid shot out in the water, spewing out streams of pungent white smoke. The two water bodies were still hugging each other tightly. They were obviously cannon fodder used to commit suicide. Nobuo Sakamoto was not sure that he could face this kind of strong acid, so he hurriedly shouted Said: "I lost!"

The sound in the water travels very slowly. Nobuo Sakamoto choked just to shout. Fortunately, everyone understood what he wanted to express. The two water clones used force at the same time and threw Nobuo Sakamoto out of the range of the ninjutsu. , but they both had no time to escape and were killed directly. The memories and feelings of the feedback made the main body Xi feel uncomfortable, but fortunately they won. On the other side, Yumi Isaki, who was soaking in the water, was still thinking about how to assist, but he didn't expect it to end. .

After the ninjutsu was released, the four people fell back to the ground wetly. Nobu Sakamoto said ambitiously with lingering fear: "You really want my life. If I delay shouting for one second, you will really kill me."

"Teacher, didn't you say you wanted us to fight with the mentality of killing you?"

"That's true, but you..."

"What are we?"

"Forget it, forget it, just pretend I didn't say it." Nobuo Sakamoto was very depressed, very depressed. Although he was careless and was attacked by surprise, a loss was a loss.

"Teacher Sakamoto." Xi suddenly spoke: "It stands to reason that the teacher leading the team will teach the genin how to climb trees, tread water and the corresponding ninjutsu, but we should be able to do all these by now. The village specially asked you to be our teacher. So what do you teach us?”

"Good question." Nobuo Sakamoto suddenly became energetic and seemed to have regained his confidence. He said: "Your water release is very powerful, not weaker than the average jounin. I don't know water release either. I'm here to teach you." Others, chakra properties change."

"Thunder Escape?" Xi nodded and said, "It's just in time to give it a try. I don't know if I'm suitable for Thunder Escape."

"How do you know it's Thunder Release?" asked Terumi Mei on the side.

"I am Water Release, and Izaki Yumi is Wind Release. I specially arranged a teacher to lead the team. What else can it be besides Thunder Release."

Terumi Mei opened her mouth, but had nothing to say. Nobuo Sakamoto gave a thumbs up and expressed his praise: "Yes, you have very strong observation and analysis skills."

Xi didn't say anything. He didn't care about the other person's praise, or even Sakamoto Nobuo. He only cared about what he could learn. He was not arrogant, but indifferent. From the bottom of his heart, he never thought about forming any bond with the other person. This was very interesting. The characteristics of Blood Mist, it can be said that the current Shio is the ninja who is most like the ninja in Blood Mist. On the contrary, Sakamoto Nobuo, Terumi Mei, and Izaki Yumi are not similar. They are not as exaggerated as Konoha, but they are also like other ninja villages. Likewise, I want to truly form a team that relies on each other.

Compared with other ninja villages, the ninjas in the Blood Mist never dare to entrust their backs to their teammates. They may be slashed by one of their own at any time. They are always on guard against others while striving to protect their own interests. Maximize it. For this, I don’t mind cutting my teammates. This is the mentality of Xi now. He can only trust Terumi Mei to have his back. The other two just met today. What about companionship? Stop making trouble, he It’s good if you don’t kill anyone.

While other teams are still practicing climbing trees and treading water, their team has begun to practice the changes in the nature of chakra. For example, Xi's chakra is of the water attribute, and he has a high affinity with the water element. Water escape is also very powerful, but the water attribute chakra cannot release other escape ninjutsu. He needs to change the nature of his chakra. This is a matter of slow work and careful work. All the chakra needs to be transferred out. Lightning properties.

With the thunder and lightning chakra, Xi can release the thunder escape, but what about the water escape?This is the characteristic of chakra that is cultivated, instant conversion. As long as you cultivate one chakra attribute, you can instantly convert your chakra to the required attribute. When Xi completely converts the thunder attribute chakra, he can convert it seamlessly. Seamlessly release Water Escape and Thunder Escape, and then continue to convert the next attribute.

As long as he is not restricted by the threshold and has enough time and energy, Xi can practice little by little and collect the five major chakra attributes, just like the Third Hokage, but according to his own inference, it is basically impossible because he His water attribute was too strong, and he later thought about the reason. He guessed that it was probably affected by telekinesis, because this characteristic was very similar to the six major systems of telekinesis.

He has the telekinesis ability of the trait system. Next to the trait system are the operation system and the embodiment system. The farthest away is the enhancement system. In other words, he can exert 100% of the power of the trait system, or 60% to 80% of it. %, the premise is that he gives up the ability of the trait system and replaces it with the other two. This is not worth it, but no matter how hard he tries, he has no chance to practice and strengthen it. The capabilities of the system, in layman's terms, are incompatible.

Because of this characteristic of Nian ability, the chakra attributes may also be affected. He can exert at least 100% of the power of water escape, and even more than 100%. The corresponding thunder escape and wind escape will be slightly weaker, 60% and 80%, similar to the situation of the operation system and the embodiment system, then the fire escape and earth escape are out of the question. This is the enhancement system in the chakra attribute and is incompatible.

As for the issue of Yin-Yang Escape, Xi still doesn't understand it and doesn't know how to practice it. He doesn't know where this escape technique comes from. He actually doesn't care much about it. He doesn't care what he can't learn. He just needs to master what he can learn. No matter how hard he works, he is still not as good as those idiots. If he has the time to torture himself, it is really not as good as using his telekinesis ability to cosplay with an idiot.

No matter how strong Xi's water escape is, he can't conquer the world just by relying on water escape. It's okay against ordinary people, but it's very difficult to deal with masters. For example, earth escape is a problem. It's hard to control him. That's why he wants to learn thunder. Escape, even if the power is not fully exerted, it is still no problem to deal with ordinary earth escape ninjas with his strength. If the power is not enough, just rely on quantity. Compared with the amount of chakra, he is not afraid of anyone.

After becoming a genin, without the scholarship, Shio could only earn living expenses by doing missions. No matter how strong he was, there were strict level requirements when accepting missions. Genin who had just graduated could only take on D-level and C-level missions. , whether you can accept C-level tasks depends on the intention of the leading teacher. B-level and A-level tasks are definitely not allowed, and the leading teacher cannot accept tasks, because the completion rate of the three tasks is too low and they are not allowed to accept high-level tasks. .

It is not possible to directly accept C-level missions. For the same reason, the mission completion rate is not enough, so we must first do a few D-level missions to decorate the appearance. This is a rule, and there is nothing we can do. In the next few days, the team simply They accepted a bunch of D-level missions, and one person received several. Anyway, with their strength, it was easy to complete D-level missions. The only thing that made Xi unhappy was that the mission rewards needed to be divided among Nobuo Sakamoto.

In order to teach the students, the leading teacher gave up his own time to do the task, which is equivalent to giving up his own money, and completely blocked people's financial path. In order to make up for the loss of the leading teacher, the village stipulated that these genin should be paid for completing the task. Half of it is for the leading teacher. Without this reward mechanism, I am afraid no one would be willing to be the leading teacher. Many genin are also willing. After all, they still want to build a good relationship with the leading teacher and learn ninjutsu.

Xi's team was purely accidental. They didn't expect anything from the teacher who led the team, but they couldn't ignore the village's rules. Even if they didn't like it, they had to give half of the money to others. Nobuo Sakamoto accepted it calmly, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about. In fact, He also knew his position. Rather than being a teacher who came to teach them, he was more suitable as a bodyguard. The village specially arranged it so that this elite team could be fully trained without putting their lives in danger.

Compared with the reward, there is another thing that makes Xi very irritated, that is, the conversion efficiency of chakra properties is too low, and he also discovered that in the previous year, the growth rate of chakra had slowed down, and there was no change at all. He started to be in such a rapid state, and he found the answer after self-analysis, that is, comparison. His so-called genius has always been compared to the mediocrity in the ninja school. In terms of chakra capacity, he is not as good as Terumi Mei.

Maybe there is an age issue here, but don’t forget, what is his situation? He has a golden finger. Those three years in the dream were not given in vain. Not to mention the increase in special training and reading ability, just talking about food supplements, he It is much stronger than most people. The fact that he was able to refine chakra so quickly when he was in first grade was the result of a sudden explosion of his accumulation in the past few years. This explosion will gradually weaken and disappear, and finally become normal.

This is why his chakra growth in the second year was not as good as before, and it will become more and more normal in the future. Of course, this normality is relative to his physical fitness after the increase in his telekinesis ability. , his chakra is still much higher than that of ordinary ninjas. He is still young now. When he reaches adulthood, he will be able to reach the level of an elite jounin with his current increase. As long as he continues to practice his Nen ability, he has the confidence to become a jounin. A shadow-level powerhouse.

But that's all. The Kage-level powerhouse has come to an end. It's not that he doesn't want to go further, but that the rules of the world don't allow it. This is a world where cheating is rampant. Without the blood of the Otsutsuki clan, his upper limit is destined to be locked. , just like Senju Hashirama, the Water Release is invincible and can be played more slippery than Kirigakure ninjas. There are also a lot of weird ninjutsu, but in the end, he can't beat Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

Regarding this, Xi thought very openly and didn't think it was unfair. He never thought about becoming the protagonist of this world, and he never thought about saving the world by himself, let alone the world. He doesn't care, as long as he lives well, the only thing he wants is that he can live, and live well, and at most add Terumi Mei, and he can't care so much about other people.

"What are you thinking about?" Terumi Mei saw Xi's daze and suddenly asked.

"Nothing." Xi didn't want to talk about his chakra, so he asked instead: "How many D-level missions have we completed."

"Including Yumi's side, there are 13 of them. They should be able to take on C-level missions." Terumi Mei said: "Shi, I want to discuss something with you."

"You said."

"No matter what, we will all be considered a team from now on. Can you be more friendly to Yumi? It's a bit too much if you don't say a word to others all day."

"Not speaking doesn't mean I don't accept her, I just don't know what to say."

"If you don't speak out your thoughts, others won't be able to know. Maybe you don't take it seriously, but Yumi doesn't think so. She always thinks you hate her."

"She thinks too much. To me, whether I like her or hate her, I don't care at all."

"You... why did it become like this?"

"I've always been like this. Okay, don't worry about it. Just remember that the person I trust is you."

"I...forget it, you can figure it out yourself."

The team once again gathered in the mission hall. After spending a few days together, the pattern was basically fixed. Among the three ninjas, Mei Terumi was considered the captain. Firstly, she was a fan of the official, and secondly, she was needed to adjust the atmosphere in the team. Nobuo Sakamoto was that kind of person. The type who doesn't care about anything, everything depends on their own performance, and they don't even mention their opinions. Yumi Isaki has gradually become accustomed to Shio's style, being cold and ruthless, and he doesn't care about anyone except Mei Terumi.

Izaki Yumi also figured it out. This is in the blood mist. It is unrealistic to expect teammates to help you. Terumi Mei may still care about the bonds of teammates. Shio...forget it, it’s good if you don’t kill yourself. From now on, you will be Get along with strangers.

Nobuo Sakamoto didn't comment on what mission the team took on, Yumi Isaki listened to Mei Terumi, and Shio didn't care. He was used to being the younger brother, and whatever the boss said was what he said. He just had to obey.

"Let's see..." Terumi Mei rummaged through the task list for a long time, and finally chose one that looked pleasing to her eyes, or one with a higher salary. She also had to consider Xi: "That's it, the escort mission. .”

"C-level mission, escorting the caravan to the Country of Yu." Yumi Izaki came over and said, "It doesn't seem difficult. There are a lot of tasks to protect the caravan."

"Well, there is another one going to the Kingdom of Sichuan over there. It's too far. Besides, it's too dangerous to cross the Kingdom of Fire."

"So the person who issued the mission is sick, isn't it usually the case that he is escorted to the Land of Fire and then handed over to the ninjas of Konoha? This is for fear that we will not be able to fight with Konoha."

"You can't say that, maybe it's the client's intention." Nobuo Sakamoto suddenly said: "The client's personal wishes also need to be taken into account. I have met one before who had great complaints against Konoha Village. I would rather You don’t want to hire ninjas from Konoha Village to hire us at a higher price. That time was also in the Land of Fire. It sounded really dangerous and our team almost didn’t come back.”

"Is Konoha very strong?" Terumi Mei was curious.

"It's very strong, and it's their home field. Reinforcements will come at a moment's notice. They can't finish the fight or kill them all. We can only run away all the way. If we are caught up, we will die."

"Teacher Sakamoto, I heard that there is a genius ninja Kakashi Hatake in Konoha. Have you met him?"

"No, that kid is about the same age as Xi. How could I have seen him before? But I have heard of Hatake Sakumo's name, Konoha White Fang, that brat's father."

"The war between Konoha and Sunagakure is not over yet?"

"No, but it will be soon." Nobuo Sakamoto said: "We have been fighting for two years. It is estimated that Sunagakure Village will not be able to hold on, and Konoha will also feel uncomfortable."

"Where are the other ninja villages? No one wants to take advantage of the situation?"

"I heard that Iwagakure is about to make a move, but Kumogakure is watching closely, and the old man Tsuchikage doesn't dare to start a war at will."

"What about us? Our village doesn't want to get involved?"

"Who knows? Well, these things are still too far away from you. You don't need to think about it so much now. Let's go and see the client."

According to the timeline, when Shio was training in Kirigakure Village, Sunagakure Village started a war on the pretext that the Third Kazekage was assassinated by Konoha. The two sides fought for almost two years, with each other winning or losing. It is said that Sunagakure Village was not strong enough. , but Konoha Village is surrounded by enemies, and they dare not devote all their troops to the battle. After fighting for so long, no one can do anything to the other. The voices calling for a truce within the two villages are getting louder and louder.

There was no winner in this war, but it made one brat known as Hatake Kakashi. He was a genius ninja who graduated just one year after entering school. After graduation, he went straight to the Sunagakure battlefield. He also shone brightly on the battlefield, even the other ninjas. Everyone in the village has heard of his name, and there is another jounin, Namikaze Minato. This one is not a sudden rise. Everyone has known this person before, he is very strong, and he is a disciple of Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas.
