Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

With the end of the last battle, the Joint Chunin Exam officially came to an end. Those who successfully passed the Chunin selection will be announced the next day!

Therefore, Konoha's staff will work overtime to integrate the information, and the final list will include the signatures of the chief examiner Orochimaru and the two Kages!

At night, Mizunoe Hiroha and Namikaze Minato were having dinner at Ichiraku Ramen. Oh, and Uzumaki Kushina too!

"Bingyu, when will you set off back to Kirigakure?" asked Minato Namikaze.

"I don't know about that yet. We will return with the Mizukage-sama. The exam just ended and I haven't seen him yet!" Mizunotsuki Hiroha said, "The results of the exam will be announced tomorrow. I guess we will return after the announcement!"

"Is that so? Indeed, the Mizukage has been away from the Hidden Mist Village for more than 20 days. It has been a long time indeed!" Namikaze Minato said, "Hyoyu, I learned a lot from this Chunin Exam, especially the two battles with you. I gained a lot!"

"Minato, you are also very powerful. You have mastered the Water Palm Prison technique of the Water God very skillfully, and you even performed that move. I believe that if the Water God knew about it, he would be pleased!" Mizunoe Bingyu said.

At this point, Minato Namikaze thought of Dihuangwan. He used two of his teacher's moves, but still lost to the people from Kirigakure. His teacher must be very disappointed!

But on the surface, he was smiling. Just then, the door curtain of Ichiraku Ramen was lifted and voices were heard, diverting everyone's attention!

"Hey, Minato, Kushina, you are here after all!" The person who came was Jiraiya, "Huh? Kirigakure's Bingyu is here too!"

Minato Namikaze and Kushina quickly stood up!

"Jiraiya-sensei!"

"Teacher Jiraiya, why are you here?!"

Mizunotsuki Hyouha also stood up and saluted, "Master Jiraiya!"

Jiraiya waved his hand and sat in the empty seat, "Boss, give me a bowl of char siu ramen!"

Namikaze Minato and the other two returned to their seats, and Jiraiya said, "Minato, I watched your match, and you performed very well! If it weren't for him, no one could beat you!"

After saying that, he looked at Mizunoe Bingyu, who could only respond with a silly smile!

"But you two little guys get along pretty well. You can even have dinner together after the competition. This surprises me!"

"Lord Jiraiya, there are winners and losers in a competition, but the experience and gains from fighting are more important. Minato and I get along very well. Apart from fighting, we are friends!" said Mizunoe Hiba.

Namikaze Minato also nodded, indicating that he agreed with Mizunoe Hiroha's words.

"I was worried that you would be in a bad mood after losing the game, so I came here specially. It seems that I was worrying too much! But I am relieved now!" Jiraiya said.

Namikaze Minato patted his head and smiled, and Kushina interrupted, "Teacher Jiraiya, you didn't come here in vain, why don't you treat us to some ramen!"

Jiraiya's face was dark, "Kushina, Feiyun really spoiled you, you are so rude!"

Minato Namikaze also pulled Kushina, indicating that it was a bit too much.

However, Kushina turned her face away proudly and ignored the two of them!

"Bingyu, right? The Mizunotsuki clan has a successor. Your Ice Mirror Technique must be the secret technique passed down by the Mizunotsuki clan. I once had the honor of seeing it!" Jiraiya said.

"Yes, Master Jiraiya, it is the bloodline secret technique of the Mizunotsuki clan!"

Jiraiya nodded, "However, what really surprised me was the combined secret technique you used, it's called Water Dragon Ice Cannon, right? It's quite interesting!"

"The Water Dragon Ice Cannon is a combination of the Water Dragon Bullet Technique and Ice Release. It fires ice bullets like a cannon. Compared to a cannon, it has better mobility!"

"What a genius idea! The power of that move in the competition was quite amazing. It is considered a top-level A-level ninjutsu. Even I have to be cautious when facing this move! Kirigakure also has excellent talents!"

"Master Jiraiya, you are too kind. If I were to fight you, I'm afraid you wouldn't give me the chance to use this move!"

The ramen was placed in front of Jiraiya. After thanking him, Jiraiya opened his chopsticks and ate a strand of noodles.

"Minato, your performance today was just like that of Dihuangwan! Dihuangwan will be proud of you!"

Soon, everyone finished their ramen, said goodbye on the street, and went home!

It is worth mentioning that it was Jiraiya who ultimately paid for the meal!

Late at night, Kushina was already fast asleep, while Feiyun was lying on the bed with his eyes closed to rest!

Dihuangwan's figure appeared, and Feiyun opened his eyes, "Dihuangwan, you're back!"

Dihuang Wan walked to the bedside, helped Feiyun up, let her lean against him, and kissed her forehead.

"Feiyun, thank you for your hard work!"

During the Joint Chunin Exam, Konoha's personnel were mixed. Dihuangwan was worried that Feiyun might get into an accident because of her bulging belly, so Feiyun never left the yard during the entire Joint Chunin Exam!

Because, only in the yard is it safest!

Dihuangwan told her some interesting stories about the Joint Chunin Exam. Feiyun had also heard some of them from Kushina, but after all, they were not as detailed as those told by Dihuangwan, a personal participant!

"Dihuangwan-kun, the Mizunotsuki Bingyu that you transformed into has taught Minato a good lesson. I believe he will become more mature and stronger in the future!" Feiyun said.

"Well, this is the greatest use of Mizunotsuki Hiroha in this joint Chunin Exam!" Dihuangmaru said.

Dihuang Wan stayed at home for two hours, and only left after coaxing Feiyun to sleep!

At Minato Namikaze's home, he stayed awake all night, lying on the bed, constantly recalling his battle with Mizunotsuki Hiroha, replaying it over and over!

A voice interrupted his thoughts, "Minato, what are you thinking about? Why are you still not asleep so late!"

Namikaze Minato jumped up from the bed, "Teacher, you're here!"

Dihuangwan looked at him and touched his yellow hair, "Minato, I saw your fight!"

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I let you down!" Namikaze Minato lowered his head. He lost the game. If he said he wasn't sad, that would be a lie! "I used your moves, but still lost. I brought shame upon you!"

Looking at the tearful Namikaze Minato, Dihuangwan smiled at him, "No, Minato, you performed very well, the teacher is proud of you!"

Bodong Minato stared at Dihuangwan in a daze, and he didn't expect that Dihuangwan didn't criticize him.

"Minato, when I first performed the Water God Palm, I was already at the level of One Sea! Moreover, it was in the rain, with the help of the right time and place! But you relied on yourself and successfully performed this move before reaching the level of One Sea. Although the scale is small, it is already rare!"

"But, before you reach the One Sea Realm, don't use this move again. It will put too much pressure on you and make you lose the strength to fight again. This is the fundamental reason why you lost to Mizunoe Bingyu!"

"Yes, teacher, I understand!"

"I got the news that after the Chunin Exam, the village will make an exception and give you a chance to view the Book of Sealing. Minato, choose Flying Thunder God!"

"Yes, teacher, I will!"

It was almost dawn when Dihuangwan left Minato's house.
