I'm a Pokémon Master from School City (by mistake)

Once you settle in, this arrangement will remain unchanged, no matter what.

If you're on the road, then study the scroll Jiraiya gave you.

He was arguably the most hardworking student Jiraiya had ever seen.

If she can keep going like this.

Perhaps she can...

It shouldn't be able to surpass the fourth generation.

On the way, the two remained silent, unlike other passersby who were either chatting and laughing or hurrying along with their heads down. This unusual behavior did not seem to attract the attention of others.

seem...

After walking for a while, Jiraiya was about to tell Chiyo that the next place to rest was still about half an hour away.

But a quick glance revealed five small red and white balls in Chiyo's palm.

'This thing...'

Jiraiya frowned.

In the past few days, he also discovered that Chiyo's summoning method was quite different from others.

She stores her summoned beasts inside this small white ball, releasing them when needed.

And this girl...

"You noticed?" Jiraiya asked.

"If you ask me, the overall assessment is that it was well hidden." Chiyo said, seemingly without any fear, "But it's still a little bit lacking. If it were me, I would definitely arrange many groups, predict the path, and then ambush in advance, with each group conducting reconnaissance in sections. Even the tailing group would need three or four squads to take turns reconnaissance and cover each other, and finally choose a more suitable place to ambush, instead of just arranging one group to follow."

"This way, the target moves, the squad follows; the target stops, the squad moves, and other squads continue to track. This keeps the target within the tracking range while reducing the possibility of being detected."

"It's like this: we walk, they walk, we stop, they stop, like a piece of chewing gum, it's hard not to notice them."

Chiyo did focus most of her attention on her studies, but she always remembered that this was a dangerous world.

The Land of Fields, this seems to be Orochimaru's territory.

Shouldn't we be even more vigilant?

Chapter 49 The First Battle of the Ninja World

Do not overestimate yourself because of your status.

Chiyo's adventures in the Pokémon world taught her a valuable lesson: the advantage of being a time traveler lies in knowing the plot and the future, but these things are meaningless when applied to basic operations and daily practice.

As for those A, B, C, and D who appeared or did not appear in the story, they may be unknown to you, or you may simply not know them.

But they are definitely not little karami who can be easily manipulated.

Even if they are not as strong as you, if you underestimate them, they will definitely give you an unexpected surprise in those places.

This is especially true in the ninja world.

The crime rate in this world is more than one level higher than that in Academy City.

Yes, at least one LV higher than the two Chiyo met.

It wasn't Chiyo herself who praised it.

She learned from her mentor when she first started out, and through years of working on the front lines, she developed a keen eye for talent.

Even without relying on the plot, she could tell at a glance that those two rookies in Academy City had something wrong with them.

But here, she wasn't.

The people who were following Jiraiya were disguised as a caravan; there should be around 11 of them. If it weren't for these people following them all the way...

They walked by themselves, they walked by themselves, they stopped by themselves, they stopped by themselves, like a piece of chewing gum. And most importantly, Chiyo noticed that although some of them looked the same, their gait and posture when resting had changed.

She never imagined that they were actually tracking her and Jiraiya.

'Transformation Technique, Ninja.'

Chiyo quickly realized this possibility: ninjas could use transformation techniques to transform into the appearance of another person.

However, the transformation technique can only change appearance and voice, while the most subtle details, such as a person's gait, posture, habits, and so on, cannot be imitated immediately.

Unfortunately, all the experiences and studies from my past life involved observing the most minute details: tone of voice, actions, expressions, eyes, and even habits and preferences in clothing and grooming.

Chiyo noticed these subtle details and was quite certain that these people were after her.

Orochimaru?

Chiyo pondered, then stole another glance at Jiraiya, even though they had just exchanged opinions and were certain of each other's thoughts.

However, Jiraiya clearly had no intention of taking action; he probably hoped she would handle it.

"The Sound Ninja." Chiyo frowned, thinking, "It seems like Orochimaru's Sound Ninja is in its early stages and short-handed. There probably aren't many Jonin among them."

When assessing the enemy, be lenient; when assessing the enemy, be strict.

Orochimaru is an elite ninja trained by Konoha. He was a student of the Third Hokage, who was known as the "Professor of the Ninja World." He experienced the Fourth Shinobi World War and has extremely rich combat experience. He is also passionate about research and learning.

If he could think of a problem, Orochimaru couldn't possibly not have thought of it, and neither could his subordinates.

There is only one explanation for this.

Lack of manpower.

Jonin are among the top combatants of a ninja village, while Chunin are the backbone of the village. Each ninja village has a different training method, but one thing is certain: betrayal is not allowed.

Betrayal will result in being hunted down, and those who survive have their own ambitions. The five great ninja villages in the ninja world also have an unspoken rule of taking in and protecting rogue ninjas from other villages.

Based on these factors, it is likely that the early days of the Sound Ninja were not attractive enough to draw in rogue ninjas, and they did this because they did not have enough manpower.

But with so many bases and subordinates scattered in various places, Orochimaru must also have a powerful intelligence network.

They probably sent people to follow him because they knew Jiraiya was coming.

The person sent to track Jiraiya must be quite strong, at least a Jonin.

In that case, you'll have to be careful with the Pokémon you send out, and you'll need a powerful Pokémon as your trump card.

Chiyo was selecting Pokémon while looking at Jiraiya's face.

The people following them realized they had been exposed. Although they kept their distance, several people had already broken away from the group. It was unclear what they were doing, but the decreasing number of pedestrians on the road was enough to tell the story.

About ten minutes later, no more pedestrians appeared in front of them.

Jiraiya stopped in his tracks. He neither attacked nor spoke, but instead sat down on the rock.

"Get to work?" Chiyo had already chosen the first Pokémon to battle.

Jiraiya didn't say anything, but gave a knowing look.

Chiyo casually tossed the Poké Ball out.

"Old man, use fire, use a low flame!"

"Awwww~"

A resounding dragon roar echoed across the land, and a gigantic figure flew out of the Poké Ball, obscuring the sky and shrouding the world in its shadow.

This is Charizard's first appearance in this world!

Its enormous size is enough to leave an indelible impression on anyone here, and it also brings immense pressure.

This is no ordinary Charizard; it's a boss-level Pokémon.

It's more than twice the size of a regular Charizard!

Its shape, resembling a giant ship, soared into the sky, flapped its wings, flew, swooped down, and spewed flames!

The dragon swooped down, opened its blood-red maw, and spewed out scorching white flames, burning a wall of fire on the earth.

'Hmm, quite a powerful summoning beast. This fire technique should be at least an A-rank ninjutsu,' Jiraiya thought to himself.

Chiyo, however, did not share Jiraiya's feelings.

This is Pokémon's first battle in this world. Although it's not the first time they've attacked humans with special abilities, the ninjas are not like the Level 3 Karami from Academy City.

In particular, these ninjas should at least be Jonin level.

Chiyo was not certain of victory.

In fact, it could be said that if Jiraiya hadn't intervened, she would have already let Charizard carry her away, and there would have been no fight at all.

There were no screams from within the flames. Chiyo felt that if she wasn't mistaken, this round had at least engulfed all five remaining people.

Is there a way to resist? Can we use a substitution jutsu to escape? Or should we just die?

First, we can rule out that he died directly. The remaining possibilities are either that he used a substitution technique or that he resisted it.

Chiyo glanced at the fire-breathing dragon circling in the sky. There was no warning yet, meaning she hadn't used the substitution jutsu to escape but instead used some kind of ninjutsu to resist it.

The opponent is very strong; they may be the strongest enemy we have faced so far.

Preparing for the next Pokémon.

With a sudden loud bang, the flames exploded, and five figures rushed out from inside.

Before the five people could even introduce themselves, and without needing to see their faces clearly, Chiyo's pupils contracted at the sight of some familiar features.

"Big Butterfly! Sleeping Powder!"

"Pidgei! Create a breeze, blow all the hypnotic powder over there, spreading it out in a fan shape to cover the largest possible area."

"Blastoise! ​​Surf!"

"Yellow-skinned rat! Use 100,000 volts immediately after surfing!"

Damn! I've only been in this world for a week and I already have to face the Sound Five!

Is this some kind of crazy thrill?!

Chapter Fifty: The Tactic of Ganging Up

The tactic of ganging up has been used since ancient times.

Chiyo was a loyal executor of this tactic.

Even in the world of Pokémon, Chiyo would never go one-on-one if it meant ganging up on someone else.

So, while Chiyo wouldn't claim to be the only one researching the unexpected effects of combining Pokémon moves, she certainly believes she is an absolute expert in the field.

Anyway, she didn't plan to get any badges or challenge any gyms in that world, so she wouldn't train five Pokémon like other Pokémon trainers.

It won't be treated like a turn-based system where you take turns attacking; it will be a fair competition.

She can unleash a royal flush, a straight, and a single six, aiming to take down her opponent in one fell swoop.

In the world of Pokémon, while such tactics may not be universally effective, they certainly give Chiyo a significant advantage.

But this is the Naruto world.

The people here are also good at ganging up on each other.

"Ok?"

Chiyo noticed that a huge, demon-faced door had suddenly risen in front of her.

'Is this a triple Rashomon?'

She remembered this move; it seemed that the two-headed parasite among the Sound Five knew how to use it.

"Blastoise, stop! Yellow-skinned rat, use Thunderbolt!"

"Old man! Light the fire!"

"The rest of you, take cover!"

Chiyo was arranging the next attack plan, while the Sound Five were clearly not keeping up with her pace.

This is unlike any of the battles they've encountered...

It shouldn't be said that since they became stronger, they had time to slowly tease their opponents, mock their enemies, and pose for self-introductions. Doing so many meaningless and time-wasting things didn't delay their mission.

They've become stronger, but the enemies they face have become much weaker. They've carried out so many missions that they've forgotten what they're doing. That's how battles are; no one stops to listen to what they have to say.

Once they start, they must go all out; anything meaningless will become their death warrant!
