Naruto: I'm Really Not a Pokémon

Mei Terumi's angry roar echoed through the training ground.

Mei Terumi was soaked like a drowned rat, with a lot of sticky foam on her hair and body.

At this moment, he was sitting under a big tree, staring at Jianchuan Ju in front of him with an angry face.

Jianchuan Ju, who also had a small amount of sticky foam on his body, scratched his head in embarrassment and was thinking of asking Lan Zai to help him out.

Who would have thought that the little guy had already hidden away somewhere unknown.

I had no choice but to go forward and comfort Mei Terumi.

"I've been loving it in vain!" Jianchuan Ju complained angrily.

In the morning, Jianchuan Ju accompanied Lanzai to complete a series of basic training.

Thinking back to the last time he was fighting the pirate captain, he was attacked when he used the 'Water Jet' to charge forward. At the last moment, the 'Danger Prediction' had clearly reminded him of the opponent's next attack, but he still couldn't completely avoid it.

So I plan to train myself to be more flexible when using this ninjutsu.

This method of training flexibility is also simple.

In the training ground, in a relatively dense forest, use the 'water jet' to accelerate the sprint.

While avoiding complex terrain obstacles, arrange for Lanzai to use the foam 'shuriken' on his neck to launch a sneak attack in the woods.

Not long after Jianchuan Ju started training, Mei Terumi beside her seemed to think that this training method was good, so she joined in the evasion training.

Although Mei Terumi does not currently know any ninjutsu to accelerate movement, simply using chakra to concentrate on the feet and legs to increase explosive power is also suitable for this type of training.

In this way, the two men and the frog started a passionate and chaotic fight in the grove.

However, Lan Zai, who has mastered the high-speed technique of "Lightning Flash" and is smaller in size, clearly has an absolute advantage in this "Forest Dodgeball Battle".

At first, the two could only resist Lan Zai's throwing attacks with difficulty.

Although the training effect is very significant, it still feels a bit frustrating.

It was not until later that Jianchuan Ju discovered that among the three, Mei Terumi was clearly the slowest and least flexible.

He simply began to use Mei Terumi to attract firepower, moving back and forth between the trees and Mei Terumi to create opportunities for counterattack.

Mei Terumi reacted quickly to Tachibana Kanegawa's little tricks, but since she was the slowest, she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

However, the training continued for a while.

Jianchuan Ju once again used Mei Terumi as a cover to avoid Lan Zai's attack.

She wanted to take advantage of the situation and jump onto a big tree nearby to look for another opportunity, but the frustrated Mei Terumi threw three water balls at Tachibana Kanagawa.

Jianchuan Ju, who was in mid-air, had no time to think, and subconsciously used his waist and abdomen to lift his legs, preparing to use the powerful thrust of the "water jet" to move sideways in the air to avoid the attack.

But as luck would have it, the direction of his raised foot was right towards Mei Terumi.

The high-speed gushing water hit Terumi Mei directly with a powerful impact force.

Completely unprepared, Mei Terumi was instantly swept away by the current and only stopped when she hit a thick tree.

Fortunately, "Water Jet" is not an offensive skill and did not cause any damage.

However, Terumi Mei, who had already been hit hard by Jianchuan Ju's water ball and Lan Zai's sticky foam, was now completely soaked.

Although bumps and bruises are inevitable in ninja training, even Tachibana Kenkawa himself eventually felt that treating a child this way was a bit inappropriate.

In this way, the two of them ended the morning training by playing and fighting.

Fortunately, since the team was formed, the training ground where they are located is a small training ground with relatively complete facilities in the village. There is a changing room like a swimming pool at the entrance.

"It seems like Ao-sensei and Zabuza aren't coming today. What are your plans for this afternoon?"

Mei Terumi, who came out of the locker room, saw Tachibana Kenkawa and Ran playing around with each other, and asked a question.

"I was planning to go to the hospital to practice medical ninjutsu this afternoon, but I don't have any patients who have made appointments in advance. If you think it's too boring to practice alone, I can stay here with you."

He subconsciously answered Mei Terumi's question, but as soon as he finished saying this, Jianchuan Tachibana realized that something was wrong.

With Mei Terumi's tsundere personality, there would only be one answer if she said this.

really.

"It's just training! Who would be bored? And I have to go home to refine my chakra in the afternoon too!"

Mei Terumi originally wanted to go home and ask her father for advice on bloodline fusion, but then she changed her mind because she was afraid of upsetting the orphan Jianchuan Tachibana.

However, Jianchuan Ju did not realize this. After all, he was not the original body, and in fact, he did not feel much about his orphan status.

"Okay, let's go have lunch first and then part ways."

Having said that, the two stopped talking and took their backpacks to the ramen shop they often visited next to the training ground.

This ramen shop is a typical traditional Japanese ramen, and the decoration is somewhat similar to Ichiraku Ramen in Konoha.

A simple wooden structure with a slightly sloping roof and a very ordinary welcome sign at the door.

The entire store is not very large, with a bar that can only seat four or five customers. Inside is a semi-open kitchen, and customers can see busy figures inside while waiting for their meals.

Although I don’t think Jianchuan oranges taste very good, they are simple and clean.

When the two arrived at the ramen restaurant, there were already two ninjas wearing Chunin vests sitting at the bar and eating.

Jianchuan Ju and the other person didn't think much about it and walked straight to two seats at the side to start ordering food.

However, not long after the two of them finished ordering, the topic discussed by the ninja next to them, who seemed to have finished eating and was resting, reached their ears.

"You've heard about that kid nicknamed 'Ghost Man', right? "

"Of course, I've heard about it a long time ago. How cruel! He killed more than a hundred classmates before they even graduated."

"Yes, and he graduated successfully. I have to admire him."

"Tsk, this kind of genius must have been noticed by some big shot. A Genin has his own title."

"Haha, I think you are envious. There are so many jonin who haven't made a name for themselves in the ninja world yet."

The two Chunins stood up and left the ramen shop while talking and laughing.

Although Jianchuan Ju heard the conversation between the two people, he didn't take it too seriously.

He had thought about these questions since he had traveled to this world and learned that he and Zabuza were classmates.

Since Zabuza has made this choice, he can only bear the subsequent criticism and strange looks alone.

So Jianchuan Ju simply took out a small bowl and scooped out some of the large portion of ramen that had just been served to Lan Zai.

However, Jianchuan Ju discovered that Mei Terumi was staring blankly at her ramen, looking as if she was troubled by something.

"What? Are you worried about Zabuza? Don't worry, that guy is stronger than you think."

Of course, Jianchuan Tachibana, who has read the original novel, knows that Zabuza was not defeated by these rumors, and later became one of the famous Seven Ninja Swordsmen in the village.

However, Mei Terumi's answer left him somewhat confused.

"Of course I know that he is strong at heart, at least he is stronger than me." Terumi Mei looked at Jianchuan Ju with a lonely expression and said, "You know what? Sometimes I envy Zabuza and you very much."

"???

According to the experienced authors in the group, the most important metric is the number of readers who follow a new book during its initial release.

"Following the author" refers to the number of people who finish reading the latest chapter within 24 hours of its release. (Whispering: I didn't know this before, but that's roughly the idea.)

So if you readers think this book is okay, please remember to follow it every day.

Thank you everyone. d(*￣▽￣)===b

Chapter 37: Mei Terumi's Thoughts

Jianchuan Ju, who was being stared at by Mei Terumi with a complicated expression, was completely confused at the moment.

"Envy me? And Zabuza?"

"Yes."

Jianchuan Ju put down his chopsticks and looked at Terumi Mei in confusion. This child was not a sentimental person. Besides, he and Momochi Zabuza were both orphans. What was there to envy about Terumi Mei, who had both parents?

"You want to be an orphan too?"

Mei Terumi almost choked to death over these words, and her emotions became incoherent for a moment.

He gave Jianchuan Ju a cold look.

"What are you thinking! I'm just envious of the way you became a genin."

After being interrupted by Jianchuan Ju, Terumi Mei's mood recovered a little and she began to explain the reason for her envy.

"You know what? Actually, when I graduated last year, the Jounin Kujira came to see me."

"Looking for you? Could it be..." With such a shocking piece of news coming out suddenly, Jianchuan Ju couldn't believe his own guess for a moment.

"Yes, he asked me to do what Zabuza did this year. Because I was the top leader that year, he had no other choice but me."

"With your father's connections, how could Karuju Yagura let you do such a thing?"

As a veteran jonin, his connections in the village are obviously not limited to Ao. If juniors like Karutagi Yagura dare to underestimate him just because he has retired from the ninja sequence, they will definitely suffer.

"He went to see my father first. He told me to make my own choice." Mei Terumi paused for a moment, looking at her bowl of noodles, and said, "I refused."
