Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 8: Light Piercing the Mist
As Jianchuan Ju stood up to sign up, the whole class fell silent.

Even Zabuza Momochi, who was usually indifferent to everything, turned around and looked in the direction of Tachibana Jiangawa.

"Mr. Ueda, I hope to participate in the medical ninja selection."

Seeing that the head teacher did not give him any feedback, Jianchuan Ju had to remind him again.

"Jianchuan, you can go to the indoor training ground on the first floor to take the test now."

Teacher Ueda seemed to be hesitant to speak at this time.

No wonder, recently Jianchuan Jue not only improved his theoretical scores, but also got stronger in practical tests.

Teacher Ueda has already tacitly agreed that Jianchuan Ju will help their class add one passing spot in the graduation examination.

Now that I have the graduation spot I want, I am actually going to become a medical ninja.

The way Mr. Ueda looked at Jianchuan Ju at this time was probably like in the previous life, when suddenly one day, a young student from Peking University or Tsinghua University in the class said, "Teacher, I don't want to study anymore, I want to learn how to operate an excavator!" It was probably something like this.

However, Jianchuan Ju didn't need anyone's understanding. He nodded to Teacher Ueda in front of the podium and walked straight out of the classroom.

After Jianchuan Ju left, the classroom immediately became an uproar.

"I didn't expect Jianchuan to be such a coward."

"Surely not? Hasn't Ju been practicing hard in the past month or so? Why would he participate in this kind of assessment?"

"I thought this guy had gotten smarter lately, but he's still the same fool as before."

"Alright! Let the class begin!!"

Most of the students who had some sense could see that Mr. Ueda was not in a good mood, so they all quieted down.

As if he was still a little angry, Mr. Ueda added another sentence.

"The most important thing for a ninja is strength! If you don't pay attention now, you may die at any time during a mission in the future."

However, at this moment, Zabuza Momochi, who was sitting in the front row, was a little uneasy, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Could it be that Jianchuan Jue guy knows something?

Since Jianchuan Ju had performed very well in recent actual combat tests, Zabuza had already used him as an imaginary enemy and had conducted many simulated battles with him.

But now this guy quietly said that he wanted to be a medical ninja.

Or was it because he was mentioned to Karatachi Yagura before, so he was pressured and kicked out?
No matter how suspicious Zabuza is in the classroom.

On the other hand, after arriving at the selection site, Jianchuan Ju felt a little regretful that Aunt Huizi was not the examiner.

Including himself, there were only three other candidates at the scene. Jianchuan Ju knew the other two people. They were the bottom-ranked girls in Class 3 and Class 5. They probably came to participate in the selection because they were worried that they would not pass the graduation exam.

However, not only were the number of people taking the test small, but even the invigilators did not seem to take this selection seriously.

Two teachers were talking and laughing in a corner of the classroom, discussing something. After a while, when there were no new candidates, one of the younger teachers spoke.

"Each of you perform the Three Body Technique once. If all of you succeed, you can go to the hospital and report."

"Excuse me, isn't this a medical ninja selection?"

A round-faced girl asked the question weakly. It seemed that she was quite confident in her medical ninjutsu.

However, this is also what Jianchuan Jue is confused about. Although the Three Body Technique is not difficult, it seems a bit redundant for him to cram medical knowledge these days.

The young examiner seemed a little impatient.

"We are selecting qualified ninjas for medical training. We are not testing the three-body technique? Do you know anything else?"

Well, that does seem to make some sense.

However, even Keiko Saigyouji probably didn't expect such a casual selection of medical ninjas.

Having spent three years in ninja school without learning any of the three body techniques, he had some problems of his own, and Jianchuan Ju didn't care about the two girls next to him.

He just started to make seals and performed the three body techniques one by one. There was no fancy showmanship. After completing the simple release, he looked at the two examiners.

"Okay, just fill out this form and report to the hospital today." The examiner took out a blank form with a stamp on it and motioned for Jianchuan Ju to leave quickly.

[Ding! Graduated from Ninja School, unlocked the achievement "The First Step to Becoming the Richest Man"]

"How can I be considered a dropout? And I'm the richest man."

Jianchuan Ju walked out of the school while complaining about this unscrupulous system achievement, completely ignoring the helpless looks of the two girls behind him.

They chose to participate in the medical ninja selection but failed. It is estimated that their days in the ninja school will be even more difficult.

The Hidden Mist Village Hospital.

Everything in front of me was still shrouded in the mist of the Hidden Mist Village that lingered all year round, and seemed a little hazy.

Although his strength might surpass Momochi Zabuza in three months, although the Third Ninja World War was on the verge of breaking out, and although all that he had accomplished with all his efforts was just an escape.

But at this moment, it seemed that a ray of light penetrated the fog and reached the depths of his soul.

There was a glimmer in Jianchuan Ju's dark pupils, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a gentle arc. This was the first time he smiled from the bottom of his heart since he traveled through time.

Jianchuan Ju took a deep breath, and even the humid air of the Hidden Mist Village seemed to have a hint of sweetness.

"Hey! Kid, what are you doing blocking the hospital entrance? You're sniffing around, are you a pervert?"

A female voice that was still a little childish but full of anger came from behind Jianchuan Ju.

"Okay, Ming, this kid might be thinking about something important."

Jianchuan Ju turned around and saw two people, one tall and one short, who were also dressed as ninjas.

The person who spoke at this time was a man in his twenties, wearing a jonin vest and with gray-blue hair and a cockscomb.

The girl standing next to him, who was about the same height as him and had short reddish-brown hair, was staring at him angrily.

"Sorry, sorry. I'll be right in."

Jianchuan Ju hid the look in his eyes for a moment, apologized to the two of them with a somewhat embarrassed expression, and walked quickly towards the hospital.

He turned back and asked as he walked.

"I'm quite familiar with this part of the hospital. What do you two need? I can help."

"I want you to take care of it?!"

The girl obviously didn't appreciate it and walked towards the hospital stairs without even looking at Jianchuan Ju.

The young jonin simply nodded to Jianchuanju and followed.

"Mei Terumi and Ao? They seem to be instructing the jonin and the team members."

It was morning and there were not many people on the first floor of the hospital. Jianchuan Ju stood there, watching the two people going upstairs, and touched his chin, thinking.

'I didn't expect these two knew each other so long ago. No wonder after Mei Terumi became the Mizukage, Aoki was able to serve as the Kage's confidant and bodyguard.'

"But I didn't expect that when she was little, Mei Terumi was a complete tomboy. She didn't have any trace of the mature lady she became later."

What Jianchuan Ju didn't know was that the two people who went upstairs were also talking about him.

"That kid just now seemed to recognize us?"

Qing sensed that someone was looking at them when they went upstairs just now.

"I think he recognized you, Sensei? After all, you are still a young jonin in the village. It's not surprising that he recognized you."

"Maybe. He doesn't have a forehead protector, so he looks like a student from a ninja school. I just don't know why he's in the hospital at this time."

"Never mind, none of this matters. Koda and Bonekawa are injured and in the hospital again. This mission wasn't difficult at all! We must teach them a lesson this time!"

The angry Mei Terumi obviously didn't take the person who just happened to her seriously, but was ready to teach her two reckless teammates a lesson first.
