Chapter 53: Challenge? I'm definitely better than you!

Chapter 53: Challenge? I'm definitely better than you!
On the way back, Jiraiya remained silent.

Jing Yan followed behind, sighing that the system did not respond——

Although it was expected.

Yahiko and his men are heading south to avoid the power of the Rain Country and the Earth Country, and are temporarily lying low to strengthen themselves. This will not be of any benefit to Konoha in the short term.

but.

There is no doubt that their attitude is definitely inclined towards Konoha.

If a war breaks out with the Sand Village in the future, Yahiko's side, who are hiding and developing in the River Country, may become a helper and source of intelligence for Konoha.

Reward or something.

Only when Yahiko actually implements it and takes corresponding measures, will there be real feedback and rewards.

This is a long-term investment.

It was just a casual stroke, and it wouldn't do him much harm at the moment.

not to mention.

Whether Nagato and his companions can stay in the River Country for a long time is still unknown.

Would Ban let them go so easily?

Hard to say.

As they were about to return to Yugakure Village, Jiraiya broke the silence.

"Kyohiko."

"Teacher, rest assured, I will keep it a secret for you."

Jingyan answered.

Jiraiya laughed dumbly and shook his head, "That's not it."

"Promise me that you will ensure your own safety, because you are important to me, to Tsunade, and to Konoha!"

Jiraiya is also very serious.

Compared to Minato and Nagato, he now feels that Kyouhiko might be the "son of prophecy" he has been waiting for.

As for Tsunade.

Jiraiya believes that Tsunade may be transferring some of her emotions and expectations to Kyohiko at the moment, and her condition in Konoha has clearly improved recently.

If Kyouhiko died, Jiraiya could imagine how crazy Tsunade would be at that time, and he would not be able to forgive himself either.

"Teacher, don't talk about unfortunate things. It will affect your luck."

"Ah? Hahaha, that's true!"

Amidst laughter, the two quietly returned to the yard and released the shadow clones that remained at home.

of course.

The two shadow clones were all created by Jiraiya.

……

In the following days, Jingyan has been trying to perfect the combination of instant body movement technique and clone technique.

The clone technique and shadow clone technique need to be further improved!

It will be difficult for the former to make any progress in the short term unless he delve deeper into illusion techniques, but Jing Yan has been using the latter and has gained considerable experience recently.

He felt vaguely—

Relying on himself, the shadow clone might be about to break through.

In the following days, he kept asking Jiraiya about the tricks and key points of Shadow Clone, comparing and verifying them with the problems he was currently facing.

at last.

On the eve of the Chunin Exams...

[Name: Yoshimine Kyohiko]

[Age: 7 years old]

[Bloodline Limit]: None

【Skill】:
Transformation (mastered), Clone Technique (master), Substitute Technique (mastered), Instantaneous Body Technique (grandmaster), Water Style: Water Wave (mastered), Water Style: Water Array Wall (mastered), Shadow Clone (mastered), Super Strength Technique (experienced), White Fang Sword Technique (beginner)

Mastery level shadow clone!
It means a lot to Jingyan, because the proficiency of shadow clones was practiced by Jingyan himself from beginning to end, and it is not easy to reach the mastery level.

There is not much difference in the mastery level shadow clone, it is more about the control of the shadow clone's chakra, so that the clone is faster and the intermediate loss of chakra return when it is released is reduced.

It may seem insignificant, but if the details are paid attention to, you may be able to unleash an extra ninjutsu.

but.

Whether it is shadow clone or clone technique, they are just tricks used to enhance confusion.

The real killer moves are still the knife and super strength.

At this time, there was a noise coming from downstairs.

"Kyohiko, let's go."

"it is good."

Today is the day when the Chunin Exams begin.

Jingyan packed up his things and went downstairs to catch up with the team in front.

……

Outside of Yugakure Village, a site consisting of a dormant volcano, forest and stream became the examination venue for the joint Chunin Exam.

Almost all the ninja villages on the east side came to take part in this exam, with only a few such as the Iwagakure Village and the Sandagakure Village not participating.

Outside the examination room, ninjas from various villages gathered.

Just glance at it.

There are a few familiar faces over at Kirigakure.

Hoshigaki Kisame, Hozuki Mangetsu, and a young girl who looked familiar. The Hidden Cloud Village.

He didn't know the others, but there was one person who stood out.

Her beige hair was simply braided, and her face looked very young, probably only about six or seven years old. At this moment, her eyes were glancing around coldly.

Judging from his appearance, this person is most likely the Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, the two of whom are wooden men.

The Jinchūriki are here!

Yunyin is crazy?

Jingyan suppressed his surprise and continued to observe the others.

In the corners of the crowd, many ninjas from small ninja villages were standing scattered around, including Hatosuke.

Then he noticed a squad.

Judging from the forehead protector, they should be ninjas from Kusagakure. The reason why I noticed them...

"Lots of ninjas."

"Ah! I haven't taken part in the Chunin Exams in so many years, and the result is... bad luck! It would be great if that new red-haired girl was here. I heard that she has medical skills..."

"shut up!!"

The jonin in front shouted at them, and the three of them dared not say anything anymore.

Jingyan's heart moved.

Red-haired woman.

Medical capabilities.

Karin's mother?

He glanced over there, scanning and memorizing their appearance.

The jonin seemed to sense something and looked towards Konoha. When he saw Jiraiya in front of him, he nodded slightly with a smile on his face.

The two sides greeted each other.

Jiraiya turned around and smiled, "The first exam is about to start, let's go in."

"Yes!"

Kai was so impatient that he was the first to go to the temporary examination room at the foot of the mountain, followed closely by Xi Ri Hong.

Jingyan took a few steps.

Jiraiya caught up from behind.

"Kyohiko."

"Teacher, do you have any instructions?"

Jingyan stopped.

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment and whispered, "As long as you are safe, help your fellow villagers as much as possible, at least save their lives."

"Yes, teacher, I know."

Jingyan nodded.

After entering the pen, all of their own jonin stayed away and soon the place became noisy.

Jingyan searched for a while among the chaotic noises before he found Kai and Yuhi Kurenai who had gone in first. They were with Yamashiro Aoba and the other two.

is about to pass.

"Are you Ryomine Kyouhiko?"

A cold voice came from beside him.

Girl with rice-tea hair color.

The second one is made of wood.

Jing Yan nodded: "Ninja from Kumogakure, what's the matter?"

The girl breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, her expression changed from relaxed to serious and a little nervous.

"My name is Nii Yukito, and I want to challenge you in the next exam!"

"No problem. You look younger than me, so your academic performance must not be as good as mine."

Jingyan laughed.

The girl's face suddenly turned red, and then quickly became cold and indifferent.

"I'm talking about the battle, not the first test!"

"If I can meet him."

Jingyan said, turning around and moving forward to meet up with Kai.

Although it is a bit tricky to deal with the Jinchūriki without sealing techniques, if he happens to meet one, Jingyan really wants to see the gap between himself and the Jinchūriki.

The two Yumuren didn't get a correct answer, so they said immediately: "I'll go find you!"

Jingyan waved his hand, noncommittal.

In the crowd, Gui Deng Man Yue had a complicated expression, but did not dare to say anything harsh.

The last fight really discouraged him.

In comparison, Hoshigaki Kisame was more eager to fight and looked excited.

"This time I want to wash away the humiliation!"

He was very unconvinced after losing last time, and thought that he failed because he didn't know Jingyan well enough.

If it happens again, he will never lose to the Konoha ninja who also practices water jutsu because of his advantage in ninjutsu. For this, he even mocked Mangetsu Kiss.
