"That was a close call!" Kazuma Kobayakawa landed and quickly distanced himself from Ichiro Mizuto, while being alert to the possible third water cannon attack.
"That Genin actually dodged the secret technique of the Kizuna clan!" Water Lily stopped on a tree trunk not far from Kobayakawa Kazuma. She originally thought that Kobayakawa Kazuma was just a burden, but after his performance just now, she found that Kobayakawa Kazuma's strength was not weak, and had even surpassed some Chunins.
"Tsk!" After two consecutive water cannon shots failed to kill a Genin, Ichiro Kizuna's face turned ugly. He decisively drew his ninja sword and rushed towards Kazuma Kobayakawa.
The wind attribute chakra is attached to the ninja sword, making it sharper.
He knew that only by dealing with this pursuit team in the shortest possible time could he successfully escape the pursuit of the village. Now that he was seriously injured by the Mizukage, he had to find a place to heal as soon as possible.
Kobayakawa Kazuma jumped to avoid the first blow, and the ninja sword cut down the big tree behind him.
In a close combat, Kazuma Kobayakawa drew out a kunai and blocked Ichiro Kizuna's slash. When the two ninja tools came into contact, the tough kunai broke into pieces until it broke apart from the broken edge.
Kobayakawa Kazuma's cheek was scratched by the ninja sword. He jumped back quickly, and after putting some distance between himself and Ichiro Hozumi, he shot out several shurikens quickly and stabbed at Ichiro Hozumi's body.
"Puff..." Ichiro Kizuna was hit by the shuriken, and he fell headfirst into a pool of blood with an unwilling look in his eyes. His previous injuries slowed down his reaction speed, and he couldn't even avoid the tricks of the Genin.
"Hit it?" Kobayakawa Kazuma was quite surprised. After all, Ichiro Hozumi was a member of the Hozumi family, and he was also a powerful Chunin. How could he be killed by a few shurikens from him?
Even if his ninja aptitude and chakra amount had reached the level of a Chunin, Ichiro Hozuki should not be so incompetent.
Both Ganliu and Shuilian were worried about Kobayakawa Kazuma. Hozumi Ichiro's appearance was too sudden, so they were unable to protect Kobayakawa Kazuma quickly.
But now it seems that Kobayakawa Ichima's strength far exceeds his expectations, and he can actually defeat a tough opponent like Ichiro Kizuna in a short period of time.
After searching Ichiro Kizuna's body, the three men divided the valuable items.
Ganliu took away Ichiro Kito's ninja sword, and Shuilian took away the money on Ichiro Kito. When going out to do hunting missions, the bounty is only one aspect, and the items on these rebellious ninjas can also be counted as part of the reward.
"This is for you. I think you might need it." Water Lily did not forget Kazuma Kobayakawa. She handed over a scroll from Ichiro Hozumi.
Kobayakawa Kazuma put the scroll into his ninja tool bag. He would certainly not miss the well-deserved reward.
What's more, with the further development of system functions, marrying a wife and raising children will require a lot of expenses, so it is also necessary to leave some ninja heritage for the children.
After looting the things, Kazuma Kobayakawa and the other two handed over Ichiro Hozumi's body. As a Chunin-level bloodline limit ninja, the village issued a bounty of 20 taels for Ichiro Hozumi.
In addition to the bounty for the corpse and the reward for this mission, Kazuma Kobayakawa received a total of 30 taels, which was a huge income. After all, the house where Kazuma Kobayakawa lived was worth no more than taels.
Chapter 7 Water Style: Water Waves
After returning home, Kobayakawa Kazuma opened the scroll, and what was recorded in the scroll was the secret technique of the Suiden clan, the Water Cannon Technique.
Although this move can only launch a small water bomb, it is a genuine B-level ninjutsu. Any ninja who masters this ninjutsu generally has the potential to become a jonin.
Secondly, the water cannon's lethality is quite impressive, and its speed and power far exceed those of thrown shurikens and kunai. This ninjutsu is silent when used, and has very strong assassination capabilities.
According to the records on the scroll, Kazuma Kobayakawa tried to practice, but after two weeks, there was still no progress.
Kazuma Kobayakawa immediately realized the problem. His D-level ninja qualifications were not enough to learn B-level ninjutsu. Even if he could barely learn it, he would be unstable when using it, and he might even be in an embarrassing situation of not being able to use ninjutsu at a critical moment.
Therefore, he should not blindly pursue the level of ninjutsu. What is most important is what suits him.
Thinking of this, Kobayakawa Kazuma immediately decided to visit Higashimura Kazuki. He had limited connections in Kirigakure, and he couldn't expose his relationship with the Bloodstain Family. The only person who could help him was his former teacher Higashimura Kazuki.
So, Kazuma Kobayakawa went to Kazuki Higashimura's residence, which was not far from the Ninja School.
"Long time no see, Kazuma." Kazuki Tomura, who had a broken leg, opened the door for Kazuma Kobayakawa with the help of a crutch, but his complexion looked much better and his face was filled with a smile.
"Teacher Kazuki, you seem to be in a good mood." Kazuma Kobayakawa knelt in front of the guest table. Kazuki Higashimura took out a bottle of sake from the white refrigerator and poured a glass for Kobayakawa and himself.
"This injury directly ended my ninja career, but because of this, I also received compensation from the village, and I don't have to hunt down my former compatriots. Of course, you, a fanatical fan of the Mizukage, will not understand this feeling." Higashimura Kazuki drank a cup in one breath and asked, "So? What do you want to see me today?"
"I want to learn C-level ninjutsu that is more suitable for me. You know, the Chunin Exam will begin soon. I want to become a Chunin so that I can increase my income." Kobayakawa Kazuma said truthfully.
In fact, the main reason why he became a Chunin was to marry a better-qualified female ninja. As a Chunin, the scope of his choice of spouse is wider. In the world of ninjas, the ability of the ninja is very important in choosing a spouse. For example, a female ninja at the Chunin level will never marry a Genin.
"Haha, it's hard to support a family, right?" Higashimura Kazuki smiled and explained, "Ninjutsu is very important to ninjas, and it's usually not passed on to outsiders. I only know the Water Clone Jutsu, which won't be of much help to you. However, the underground black market may be able to help you."
Kazuma Kobayakawa knew the difficulty of learning a ninjutsu. Many ninjutsu used by ninjas were their own secret techniques and could not be easily passed on to others.
Even the most popular ninjutsu in this world are usually taught from a teacher to his apprentice and passed down through a single lineage. People who are not familiar with it have no chance to learn it.
"Please take me to that place." Kobayakawa Kazuma requested sincerely. He knew clearly that the underground black market might be the best way for him to obtain powerful ninjutsu.
Kazuki Higashimura nodded. The underground black market usually opened after one o'clock in the morning. Kazuma Kobayakawa and Kazuki Higashimura rushed there at night. Both of them wore funny masks and loose windbreakers to hide their bodies.
The entrance is a small fish shop. Walk in from the back kitchen passage of the shop and follow the stairs all the way down to the underground, where you can see another space. This is the black market of the Hidden Mist Village.
When Kazuma Kobayakawa came in, he saw a big sign: Reward for the Watermelon Mountain Pig Demon, reward of 3500 million taels.
Kobayakawa was quite surprised. As one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, whose status in the Hidden Mist Village was second only to the Mizukage, how could someone dare to offer a reward?
"Don't be surprised by anything you encounter here, and hide your identity well." Higashimura Kazuki reminded.
Kazuma Kobayakawa nodded. The underground black market was set up to get rid of the surveillance of the Hidden Mist Village. Naturally, there were a large number of illegal transactions here, so it was not uncommon to offer a reward for the Watermelon Mountain Pig Demon.
Walking to a small stall, Kobayakawa Kazuma saw a few scrolls on display and asked the stall owner, "Is there any C-level ninjutsu I can learn?"
The stall owner, wearing a mask similar to that of the Kirigakure ANBU, replied in a connoisseur's tone, "The second scroll on the left, take it yourself."
Kazuma Kobayakawa sighed, it was worthy of being a black market, the service attitude was so bad.
He picked up the second scroll on the left, which recorded the ninjutsu of Water Style: Water Wave, but it only contained an explanation of the principles of the ninjutsu, without any hand seals or chakra point maps.
However, this is understandable. A major feature of the black market is disorder. If someone grabs the scroll and runs away, there would be no place to cry.
"8 taels." Before Kobayakawa Kazuma could speak, the stall owner spoke first.
Kobayakawa Kazuma was slightly stunned. He dared to sell a C-level ninjutsu for 80,000 taels. If it was a B-level ninjutsu, wouldn't it be sold at a sky-high price?
What's more, his entire fortune is less than 80,000 taels.
"You don't seem to want to sell this ninjutsu scroll." Kazuma Kobayakawa threw the scroll down and walked away.
This is not the only store that sells ninjutsu scrolls on the black market. Water Style: Water Wave is not a secret ninjutsu and can be bought elsewhere.
"Sixty thousand taels." Not long after Kobayakawa Kazuma walked out, the stall owner with a hoarse voice spoke again.
Kazuma Kobayakawa looked back and realized that it cost two thousand taels for him and Hoshigaki Kisame to learn D-level ninjutsu. C-level ninjutsu was much stronger than D-level ninjutsu, but it was not as high as fifty thousand taels.
"Five thousand taels, this is the price I have in mind."
The stall owner was slightly stunned, probably because he had never seen such a fierce bargaining before. Then he said in a low voice: "Thirty thousand taels, this is the final price."
"Deal!" Kobayakawa Kazuma excitedly took out 30,000 taels, paid the money under the stall owner's surprised gaze, and took away the scroll and the accompanying books.
"The price is going to be lower!" The stall owner held the money and made a regretful sound.
After buying a C-level ninjutsu, Kazuma Kobayakawa looked around the black market again, but did not see any place selling chakra metal.
The so-called chakra metal is a kind of metal that can conduct chakra. Ninja tools made of chakra metal can attach chakra and are very powerful items.
A few days ago, when Ichiro Hozuki was being wiped out, the sword that Ichiro Hozuki used was made of metal mixed with chakra. After being attached with wind attribute chakra, it could cut down a big tree with one sword.
However, the knife was taken away by Ganliu as a trophy. Kobayakawa Kazuma was the weakest among the three, and it was a favor to him that he got the scroll recording the water cannon.
After looking around, he still couldn't find the chakra metal, so Kobayakawa Kazuma left first. Buying things on the black market is a matter of luck. If he can't find it this time, he will come back again later.
Furthermore, the price of chakra metal is not cheap. One gram of chakra metal may cost nearly 10,000 taels. Even if you find it, you may not be able to afford it.
Chapter 8 Pre-exam training
It was almost dawn when he returned home from the black market. Kobayakawa Kazuma rested for a day and then began to learn water jutsu and the Water Wave Technique.
This C-level ninjutsu is much easier to learn than the Water Cannon. In just one week, Kazuma Kobayakawa completed the basics and reached 1% completion of the Water Style: Water Wave Technique.
Another two months were spent, and Kazuma Kobayakawa had reached 3% completion of Water Style: Water Storm Wave. At this stage, he was already able to release ninjutsu stably, and there were generally no cases of failure in performing the technique.
Summer passed and half of autumn was over, and Kobayakawa Kazuma saw Hoshigaki Kisame early in the morning.
"Ichima, congratulations. Higashimura Kazuki's recommendation letter has been approved by the top management. You will form a team with two Genin and go to Konoha Village in the Land of Fire to take part in the Chunin Exam. From now on, the village will give you 15,000 ryo every month so that you can live in peace."
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Kisame." Kazuma Kobayakawa thanked Kisame for his notification.
"But don't be too happy too soon." Hoshigaki Kisame changed the subject and said, "Next, the special jonin Shuilian will guide your training, but if you can't show the power of the Hidden Mist Village in the Chunin Exam, the village will be very cruel."
Kobayakawa Kazuma's face darkened slightly. Under Yagura's dark policy, an era has arrived where everyone in the village is in danger, and the ninjas are no exception.
"I will definitely not let the Mizukage down." replied Kazuma Kobayakawa.
"Anyway, just do your best." After Hoshigaki Kisame left, Kobayakawa Kazuma changed into a ninja suit and headed for the forest on the edge of the village.
The maple leaves in autumn are as red as fire, and they are particularly eye-catching among the withered yellow leaves.
The two special jonin, Ganliu and Shuilian, had been waiting for a long time. When Kobayakawa Kazuma appeared, the two began to train Kobayakawa Kazuma.
Name: Water Lily
Age 21
Beauty: B
Ninja Qualification: C
Bloodline Limit: None
"In order to give you the most appropriate teaching, we must first understand your mastery of ninjutsu." Shui Lian faced Kobayakawa and said word by word.
Since she had performed missions with Kobayakawa before, Shuilian had a high opinion of Kobayakawa as a Genin. Although he was only a Genin, in some aspects, he had surpassed a Chunin.
"The E-level ninjutsu I master are the Substitution Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu and Clone Jutsu. The D-level ninjutsu includes the Mist Concealment Jutsu. The C-level ninjutsu includes Water Style - Water Wave." Kobayakawa Kazuma told his level truthfully.
As a Genin, the ninjutsu he mastered was considered normal. If a Genin mastered B-level or A-level ninjutsu, it would be abnormal. Only Genins of the level of Konoha's Twelve Young Warriors could master B-level or even A-level ninjutsu at the age of more than ten.
"Try to fight me. The tacit understanding between ninjas is important, but personal strength is also important." Water Lily suggested.
Kazuma Kobayakawa nodded, and the two of them entered the forest, hiding themselves. As the rock flow announced the start, they each used their own methods.
Opening the ninja tool bag, Kazuma Kobayakawa threw kunai and shuriken towards Water Lily. Water Lily jumped down from the tree, dodged the attack, and ran towards Kazuma Kobayakawa.
When the two fought for the first time, Kazuma Kobayakawa punched through Water Lily's body with one punch, and his palm sank deep into Water Lily's body, being entangled by a soft ball.
"Sure enough, it's a water clone."
Kobayakawa Kazuma hurriedly made hand seals. If he guessed correctly, the real water lily had already used the transformation technique to hide, and would definitely appear from an unexpected angle next.
Sure enough, as a ball of white mist exploded, Water Lily appeared behind Kobayakawa Kazuma. She quickly formed seals with her hands and used the Water Prison Technique.
