Naruto: I'm Really Not a Pokémon

After turning off the panel, Jianchuan Ju saw that his two teammates were sorting their equipment, so he simply picked up his tray and started counting.

A brand new Kirigakure forehead protector, a set of black clothes and pants, two shoulder pads, a Chunin vest, and two cotton sleeves were also thoughtfully distributed.

How should I put it? The things are quite complete.

But I have to say that the Chunin vests of the Hidden Mist Village are really ugly. And they are exactly the same as the ninja vests of Konoha more than ten years ago, which are simple flat gray composite armor.

Apart from a certain degree of defensive capabilities, it has no other functions at all.

The current Chunin vests of Konoha at least have a few pockets to store some small scrolls or ninja tools, which are of some help in combat.

Only the two cotton sleeves are somewhat distinctive, reflecting the excellent humanistic care of the Blood Mist Village.

Fortunately, the village did not have a rule that required the wearing of standard equipment, and Jianchuan Ju himself did not think that the identity of a Chunin was something to brag about.

Just like Mei Terumi next to her, she chose to refuse uglyly.

This made Zabuza, who was about to put on the Chunin vest right here, feel a little embarrassed.

Seeing that his two teammates were not paying attention here, Zabuza decisively stopped raising his vest.

He used brute force to fold the Chunin vest, which had decent defensive capabilities, several times, pretending to be sorting and packing up his belongings.

This caused Lanzai, who was squatting at Jianchuanju's feet and watching with nothing to do, to burst into laughter with his hands covering his mouth.

"Well, we just got back to the village today, so let's go home and rest up."

"But now that the rewards for this war mission have been distributed, and everyone has officially become a Chunin, how about we gather together tomorrow and call Ao-sensei? I'll treat you?"

As the captain, Jianchuan Ju saw that his two teammates had already packed up and made a suggestion.

Mei Terumi and Zabuza thought about it and didn't refuse.

Although they hadn't seen each other for just over ten days, after all, the three of them had just returned from the battlefield, so it would be good for them to meet and report that they were safe.

The next morning, in the Hidden Mist Village, at a barbecue restaurant.

"Teacher Qing, now that you're in charge of the perception class, does that mean you won't have to go on missions anymore?"

Mei Terumi smiled and said to Ao.

"Even eating can't stop your mouth, what do you mean by actually in charge? It's just that Senior Nakayoshi is mainly responsible for the frontline work."

"And the mission still needs to be done. Although Tachibana is leading the team now, before I take over new team members, I still need to take you with me on some missions."

Qing casually flicked Terumi Mei's forehead, which made Jianchuan Ju laugh.

"Also, there are not many ninjas in the village that can be dispatched to carry out missions. Although the Daimyo also supports this war, a certain number of routine missions must still be guaranteed."

Come to think of it, it makes sense. After all, in peacetime, these tasks are the foundation for maintaining a ninja village.

Even though the number of missions would be reduced during wartime to ensure the village's combat effectiveness, the number of ninjas available to go on missions would also be relatively reduced.

If we cannot guarantee that daily tasks are completed perfectly, potential clients will look down upon the village’s strength.

As the team leader, Jianchuan Ju also agreed.

"Teacher Qing, don't worry. The three of us just came back from the battlefield. We will take on some easier missions recently. If you need the team's cooperation, we are ready at any time."

"Don't worry, Mr. Qing. I won't watch you fall to the point of completing the mission alone."

As expected, another slap was given to Mei Terumi.

Now even Zabuza beside him nodded in agreement and smiled.

The team had been established for nearly half a year, and Zabuza had already integrated into the team after spending time with them day and night. Although he still called him "Captain Qing", he actually regarded Qing as his teacher.

Occasionally, his true nature is revealed.

It is getting further and further away from the image of the 'ghost' in Jianchuan Ju's impression.

After the three of them finished their meal, they did not separate immediately.

It was a rare opportunity for Qing, the busy deputy monitor of the perception class, to have some free time, so he simply took the three little ones to the training ground, ready to test their recent practice results.

But the result still scared Qing.

"Tachibana, have you mastered the wind-attribute chakra transformation?"

"You also developed a new ninjutsu???"

Even Mei Terumi and Zabuza looked at Tachibana Jiankawa with astonishment.

After all, although Jianchuan Ju had used "Swallow Return" before, it was a sword technique after all, and it didn't look very obvious.

It was also the first time that the two knew that Jianchuan Tachibana had also developed wind-attribute ninjutsu.

"Uh, it's okay? I wanted to develop a water substitute jutsu, but then I thought the wind attribute would be more suitable, so I tried it."

Just now Jianchuan Ju showed the "Wind Style*Feather Dance". This kind of ninjutsu that he had never seen before almost made Qing's jaw drop, and he paused the test on the spot.

"Fortunately, I haven't used Yusu yet, otherwise Qing-sensei would have fainted."

After all, S-level ninjutsu is indeed too rare, and Jianchuan Ju estimated that Qing might not have mastered any of them.

It's a pity that Qing has not mastered the Yang attribute chakra, nor does he have the talent of a medical ninja, otherwise Jianchuan Ju wouldn't mind teaching Qing the "Yusu" ninjutsu in the future.

In that case, Qing would probably be able to remain intact under the Tailed Beast Ball.

Chapter 94 I am most afraid of death

At this moment, Qing really wanted to pry open Jianchuan Ju's head to see what it looked like.

Having been a ninja for such a short time, he developed most of his ninjutsu independently.

Qing has also seen some so-called genius ninjas, but those geniuses either have strong physiques, huge amounts of chakra, or are fast in practicing ninjutsu and taijutsu.

But for someone like Jianchuan Ju, who was able to independently develop several ninjutsu at such a young age, and which included almost unrelated categories such as water ninjutsu, wind ninjutsu, and medical ninjutsu, Qing couldn't help but be surprised.

Of course, if Jianchuan Ju knew what Qing was thinking, he would probably tell him out of shame.

After I open my head, the most that would probably fall out is a cheat.

"Tachibana, with the ninjutsu and swordsmanship you have mastered now, as long as your basic attributes are improved, you can steadily reach the level of a jonin."

In fact, Qing is still a bit conservative. Ordinary jonin would not master so many ninjutsu while also being proficient in swordsmanship and medical ninjutsu.

"Teacher Ao, Tachibana has also mastered the property changes of fire." Mei Terumi said a little depressedly on the side.

Seeing her teammates becoming stronger and stronger, she is both happy and envious, and has recently become more and more devoted to the research of bloodline limits.

Qing was only slightly stunned when he heard the news, but after all, he had experienced so many shocks, so one more change in the fire attribute was nothing.

Jianchuan Ju had no choice but to demonstrate the ninjutsu "Water Style*Hot Water" again.

After reading it, Qing subconsciously stole a glance at Mei Terumi beside him and could only sigh. There are differences between geniuses.

Afterwards, Qing also checked the training of Mei Terumi and Zabuza. Although their strength was considered very good among the Chunins, with the example of Tachibana Kanegawa, Qing was not too surprised.

Qing gave the three of them some simple pointers, but the three little ones already had a clear path for their future, so Qing could not provide much help.

Before leaving, Jianchuan Ju called Qing alone and told him about Karuju Yagura's recruitment of him.

"In fact, I don't think much of the so-called Seven Ninja Swordsmen. It's just that if I refuse this kind of recruitment too bluntly, I might offend the other party for no reason."

Jianchuan Ju also expressed his views.

Qing thought about it and felt that this matter was rather tricky.

"Based on my understanding of Goju Jonin, it shouldn't be necessary to offend him. But your consideration is reasonable. With Goju Jonin's strength and his prestige as a frontline commander, he is likely to inherit the position of Mizukage in the future. There is no need to leave a bad impression on him because of this kind of thing."

"Actually, during this period of time when I was back in the village to report on my work, I often talked about you with Elder Yuanshi. The elder also likes talented children like you."

Jianchuan Ju thought Qing's first words were normal, but why did the last two sentences seem a little wrong?

Then I thought about my identity as an orphan.

'You don't want me to be your godfather, do you?'

Jianchuan Ju quickly interrupted and gave guidance.

"Teacher Qing, do you want to ask Elder Yuanshi to help say hello to the Jounin Kuju?"

Qing was slightly stunned for a moment, but nodded.

"That's about it, but actually I want your team of three to become the guards of the Yuanshi Elder."

Qing explained, as if he was afraid that Jianchuanju would misunderstand him.

"This guard position does not have any actual tasks. I was also the guard of this Yuanshi elder before I entered the perception class."

"This position is more of a protection for some talented and powerful ninjas who do not want to get involved in the internal struggles of the village."

Now Jianchuanju finally understood that he had always thought that Teacher Qing and Aunt Huizi, the so-called neutral faction in the village who followed Elder Yuanshi more, were just ideological names.

I think the neutral faction only refers to all ninjas who have not joined the civilian faction or the family faction.

I never imagined there was such a position to unite factions.

However, the fact that he hadn't even realized Qing had a guard position shows that it was indeed just a nominal post and wouldn't have any other impact.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Qing. However, I won't kill him."

Jianchuan Ju suddenly thought that Zabuza's identity was actually a bit embarrassing now.
