Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 20 Practical Test
Qing was standing casually under the shade of the tree at this moment, without making any preparations or defensive postures.

After all, as a jonin, if he needs to be highly alert when dealing with three genin, it really shows that he underestimates the jonin's ability.

Just as Qing was bored and thinking about how the three little guys would attack, thick fog quietly enveloped the small forest.

"Heh, the Mist Hiding Technique will obscure your perception first? That's a good idea."

However, Qing still did not make any movement, but instead raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"These little guys seem to look down on people."
As a jonin of the Hidden Mist Village, how could Qing not be familiar with fighting in the fog.

As the fog completely enveloped the area, suddenly, dozens of thousand-blade missiles flew out silently from both sides of Qing.

Unlike kunai and shuriken, senbon is smaller in size, so it doesn't make much noise when attacking. It can be considered a silent attack method commonly used in conjunction with the Mist Hidden Technique, but its lethality is much smaller than that of kunai and shuriken.

Qing casually took out a kunai and put his index finger into the ring on the handle of the kunai.

With the smooth up and down movement of the kunai, he knocked down all the incoming Senbon in just a few moves without even moving his feet.

But right after Qianben, two figures immediately rushed out of the dense forest.

It was Mei Terumi and Tachibana Kanegawa who were holding kunai and attacked Ao who was standing still from the left and right sides respectively.

After so many days of training together, the two of them now seem to have a very good understanding of each other.

When she got close to Qing, Terumi Mei jumped up lightly and stabbed Qing in the face with her kunai. Jianchuan Ju kept leaning forward and moving close to the ground, intending to attack Qing's ankle.

However, even if Qing was not a jonin specialized in physical techniques, such an attack would not pose any threat to him.

Qing kicked Jianchuan Ju's chin with his left foot as fast as lightning.

With his right hand, he grabbed the wrist of Mei Terumi, who was holding the kunai. He stepped on the ground with his right foot, tightened his waist, and threw Mei Terumi towards Jianchuan Tachibana, who was kicked into the air.

But when Mei Terumi hit Jianchuan Ju heavily.

With a "bang", the two of them exploded into splashes of water at the same time.

"Water clone, not bad."

Since the water clone is used as a feint, the offensive will naturally not stop there.

At this moment, Terumi Mei's true form appeared behind Qing without her knowing when. She had already completed the seals with both hands, and quickly squatted down and slapped the ground with both palms.

"Earth Escape*Splitting Earth Palm"

As Mei Terumi growled, the ground quickly cracked from where her palms were touching the ground, spreading forward like a spider web, and in the blink of an eye it had spread to Qing's feet.

The ground also shook violently and collapsed as these cracks spread wildly, and a large amount of soil was lifted up to form earth waves.

Qingye finally couldn't remain calm and stood there any longer. He immediately concentrated his chakra in his feet and leaped into the air, preparing to jump out of the range of the Earth-Splitting Palm Ninjutsu.

Of course Qing also knew that since they were in the air and had no leverage, this was the best time for these students to attack.

Sure enough, a thick, high-speed rotating stream of water shot out from the fog.

Qing looked at the speed of the water and its diameter which was larger than his thigh and knew that being hit would not feel good.

Fortunately, Qing was prepared when he jumped. He quickly formed seals with his hands, then put his palms together and pushed out.

"Wind Style*Sky-Splitting Palm"

A simple C-level ninjutsu actually created a gust of wind that easily blew away the incoming water column.

“Not a bad match, though.”

Before Qing could finish praising him, he was about to fall.

Jianchuan Ju, with a small frog standing on his shoulder, had already flashed out from a tall tree crown and pounced towards Qing Fei with a dagger in his hand.

Qing, who was in the air, had to twist his body forcefully and kick Jianchuan Ju, who was attacking him, sideways, sending him flying.

However, both Jianchuan Ju, who was kicked to the ground, and the little frog left in the air, suddenly burst into smoke at the same time.

The little frog in the air was actually disguised as Jianchuan Ju using the transformation technique.

At this moment, Jianchuan Ju, who had completed his transformation, held high in his hand a water shuriken formed by the convergence of clear water and spinning at high speed.

"Eat me, flying water shuriken!"

Although he said "fly" the water shuriken, Jianchuan Ju had no intention of throwing the shuriken at all, and just pressed it straight towards Qing.

Qing's face was already full of black lines at this time.

However, there was no time to use ninjutsu at this critical moment, so he could only raise his hand and slap Jianchuan Tachibana's wrist.

The flying water shuriken brushed against Qing's hair and flew into the woods with a whistling sound. "No, a short sword!"

Since Jianchuan Ju's real body is right in front of him, then what about the man with the dagger who was kicked away just now?
Before Qing could think carefully, Jianchuan Ju had already grabbed Qing's wrist with his backhand, smiling.

The 'Kanakawa Tachibana' who had just been kicked away also emerged from the exploding smoke. It was Momochi Zabuza who had been preparing for a long time.

At this moment, Zabuza had already used the clone technique, splitting into three and rushing towards Qing whose wrist was grabbed by Jianchuan Tachibana.

Three Momochi Zabuza, each holding a short sword, attacked Qing from three different angles.

Seeing this, Qing had no choice but to grab Jianchuan Ju who was holding his wrist with his backhand. He tensed the muscles in his right arm and used Jianchuan Ju as a weapon to draw a huge semicircle in the air.

"Hey, hey, don't!"

Accompanied by Jianchuan Ju's shrill cries.

"Bang, bang, boom"

The two 'Zabuza' were knocked into smoke, and the last Zabuza's real body was directly hit by Jianchuan Tachibana, causing stars to appear in his eyes, and they fell to the ground together.

On the other side, Mei Terumi was dodging on the cracked ground and wanted to go forward to provide support.

Seeing that his two teammates had lost their fighting power, he decided to go all out and directly formed hand seals and released ninjutsu.

[Water Style*Water Rush Wave]

Terumi Mei let out a delicate cry, and the water that came out of her mouth turned into turbulent waves, carrying a large amount of soil created by the previous earth-splitting palm, and rushed towards Qing's location.

As for whether the two people who had just been knocked to the ground by Qing were also within the attack range, that was not something Mei Terumi considered.

Jianchuan Ju, who was lying on the ground, felt something was wrong when he heard Mei Terumi's voice.

Even when Qing grabbed him and flung him away just now, the 'danger forewarning' that he had only given a slight warning about was now sending out a frantic alarm in Jianchuan Ju's mind.

Jianchuan Ju, who was lying on Zabuza with a sore back, turned his head to look at the waves and boulders coming towards him and could only hum weakly.

"That's not in the plan."

The surging waves slowly receded, and the grove in the training ground was now in ruins.

Qing picked up Zabuza Momochi and Tachibana Kanegawa in each hand, dispersed the chakra gathered in his feet, and landed steadily on the ground.

Just now, I saw two people falling to the ground and they really had no other tricks.

Qing, who was feeling a little overwhelmed by the wave after wave of attacks, decisively picked up the two people, leaped onto the waves created by the water rush, and avoided the final sneak attack from Mei Terumi unscathed.

After Qing landed, he casually put down the two people he was carrying.

But their expressions were completely different.

Zabuza was turning his head away in a somewhat depressed manner, obviously dissatisfied with his unremarkable performance in the previous battle.

As planned before, if the sneak attack fails, Terumi Mei will step forward and fight with Jianchuan Jue in close combat to hold Qing back, and then find an opportunity to perform the "Water Style*Water Dragon Bullet Technique" to try to make the final move.

Who would have thought that not only would he be knocked to the ground by Jianchuan Ju after his sneak attack failed, but he was also nearly swept away by the water wave created by Terumi Mei.

Unlike Zabuza who was still sulking on the other side.

Jianchuan Ju didn't think there was anything shameful in losing to Ao, a jonin.

Instead, he looked at Mei Terumi who was walking towards him with her tongue out, looking a little embarrassed.

"That last water wave of yours felt a bit like a water-earth combined ninjutsu, it's pretty powerful!"

Hearing this, Mei Terumi no longer felt guilty. She raised her little head and said proudly.

"Right, I just saw you two fail, and I instantly thought of this method of attack."

When Zabuza heard Mei Terumi say that his sneak attack failed, he became even angrier, but he had no way to refute it.

At this time, Qing also spoke up: "Okay, as this is your first time teaming up, you guys have cooperated very well. Next, I'll treat everyone to a meal, and then we'll review this battle."

The three of them looked at each other, then quickly followed Lai Qing's figure and walked out of the training ground together.

Lan Zai, who only released an oversized "water gun" during the whole process, saw the waves recede and jumped out of the forest.

What he saw was the back of his master turning and leaving.

Lanzai's little head was filled with doubts at this moment.

"Quack~~(>。<#)?"
