My journey to Konoha

Over there, Kakashi's Raikiri pierced through two of Zabuza's men and finally stopped in front of Zabuza.

Zabuza, his body covered in the blood of the two people in front of him, was stunned for a moment.

For a moment, the whole audience was silent.

"Sir..." one of the two men asked, "Are you... okay...?"

"Heh, Kakashi, it seems you misjudged again." Zabuza suddenly took action and slashed down with the giant sword in his hand.

At this moment, Kakashi's arm had pierced the bodies of the two people in front of Zabuza and could not be pulled out.

But if the sword is not cut down soon, not only will Kakashi be cut in half, but his subordinates will also suffer!

Unfortunately, the knife's momentum was blocked.

"Oh, I didn't expect this to end." Chu Yue stood beside Kakashi and waved his kunai to block Zabuza's giant sword.

Chu Yue had not expected that the end result would be almost the same as the original Naruto.

Bai was adopted by Chu Yue, but Zabuza did not get Bai. Perhaps because of this, Zabuza led his men to leave the Hidden Mist Village and became a rebel ninja.

After losing Haku, Zabuza seemed to devote his care to his subordinates. At this moment, it was his subordinates who blocked Raikiri for Zabuza.

Even without Haku, Zabuza is still Zabuza.

"Senior Kakashi." Chu Yueyan.

Kakashi nodded and took a few steps back with the two deceased bodies, pulling his arm out of them.

"Mr. Zabuza..." Chu Yue looked at Zabuza with complicated feelings.

"Haha, back when we were in the Hidden Mist Village, I knew you were something special." Zabuza said, "You can come here in an instant and block a sword for Kakashi. You are indeed much stronger than before."

"..."Looking at Zabuza, Chu Yue suddenly moved back, stood behind Kakashi, and stabbed Zabuza with a kunai.

Zabuza swung his huge sword and slashed backwards.

The giant sword is long and powerful. If Chu Yue does not retreat, his injuries will be more serious than if he were killed again.

Chu Yue had no choice but to bend her knees to dodge, but she also failed to stab Zabuza.

After the blade passed, Zabuza turned around and kicked Chu Yue.

Chu Yue punched Zabuza's foot.

At this time, Kakashi had already arrived behind Zabuza, with a kunai placed on Zabuza's neck, intending to take his life.

"The ending is exactly what I expected." A strange voice came from the other side, "Zabuza."

The sound caused Kakashi to stop moving, and Zabuza escaped unscathed.

A man was walking slowly towards the side of the bridge, followed by hundreds of non-ninjas who looked like assassins or samurai.

"Kado..." Zabuza turned around and saw Cardo.

"Oh? Not yet dead." Kado said, "But you don't need to fight anymore, Zabuza. I didn't intend to pay you at first. In the current situation, I can kill both of your ninjas without any effort. Hehehe."

"Are you Cardo?" Chu Yue said, "You are really ugly."

"What did you say!?" Being ridiculed by Chu Yue, Cardo flew into a rage. However, after a moment, he smiled again and said, "Later, I will make you kneel down in front of me and apologize!"

"Kakashi, Chuyue, I don't think we need to fight anymore." Zabuza said, "Since we don't have to kill Dazna, there is no point in continuing to fight."

"I agree." Chu Yue replied.

"Yeah, that's quite true." Kakashi agreed.

"Well, if that's the case..." Zabuza walked towards Cardo, raised the beheading sword on his shoulder, and said, "Don't interfere in this matter... This is a matter between me and this guy."

"..." Chu Yue and Kakashi remained silent.

For some reason, when he saw Zabuza covered in blood and wounds, Cardo felt a little fear in his heart.

"You are nothing but a defeated ninja dog!" Kado suddenly said, "Zabuza tightly grasped his Zanpakuto, his eyes were like torches, locking onto the hundreds of monks in front of him. In an instant, everyone seemed to have seen the ghost of death emerging from his body.

This is Zabuza, the legendary Phantom Shura!

Zabuza rushed towards the group of monks as fast as lightning. Instantly, blood flowers bloomed among the crowd like enchanting flowers, and hundreds of monks fell under his killing.

"The gap in strength is too great..." Kakashi shook his head and sighed.

"Even so..." Chu Yue responded, "The gap in numbers is still too big."

"Yeah." Kakashi nodded in response. Zabuza was alone, facing hundreds of monks.

Zabuza had killed countless people and was covered in wounds. After rushing out of the crowd, his body was covered with wounds.

However, he fought his way out of the encirclement and headed straight for Cardo.

"Kado." Zabuza said in a low voice, "Remember my name."

The Zanpakuto was swung towards Cardo fiercely, and a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard.

"Wow!!!!" Cardo screamed in horror, "Phantom, Momochi Zabuza!"

……

Wave Country, bridge entrance.

"Thanks to you, the bridge was successfully built." Dazna thanked the ninjas, "I am very grateful."

"Thank you for your care, Uncle Dazna." Chu Yue said to Dazna with a smile, "And Aunt Tsunami, our sudden visit has caused you trouble."

"No, no, I have to thank you for saving me." Tsunami said with a smile.

"Goodbye then," Kakashi said.

"Goodbye."

Kakashi and Team 7, Chu Yue Team, stepped onto the bridge and headed towards the Land of Waves. When they reached the Land of Waves, there were many secret roads leading to Konoha Village.

"I never thought it would end like this." Naruto said, "But this is the biggest gain from this trip!"

Naruto said, rolling up his sleeves to reveal a tiny forbidden charm on his arm, "Yin Yang Seal!"

"Ah? You set up the seal again?" Sakura asked in surprise.

"That's right!" Naruto responded immediately, "I've decided! From now on, no matter what, I must keep this sealing spell!"

"That's a good idea." Chu Yue praised.

"Hehe! Look!" Naruto smiled proudly and glanced at Sasuke provocatively.

"Hmph." Sasuke responded disdainfully.

"However, Sasuke also cast a Yin-Yang seal on himself." Chu Yue said, "Moreover, Sasuke has two Yin-Yang seals on both of his arms."

"What?!" Naruto's eyes widened, and then he said, "No! I can't lose to Sasuke! When I go back, I will also cast a seal on the other arm! No, I want to cast two Yin-Yang seals on each arm. I want to cast four Yin-Yang seals!"

"Hehe..." Bai couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Everyone smiled. With Naruto here, the journey wouldn't be lonely.

At this time, Kakashi came to Chu Yue's side, "The Yin-Yang Seal seems to be very effective, why don't you teach me when you go back?"

"This is the result of my research when I was young." Chu Yue didn't expect Kakashi would also be interested. Chu Yue set out on her journey home, her thoughts immersed in the question of how to find her.

I can only go with the flow, but she only knows that she is in the world, but she doesn't know where exactly... Find her first, then make a decision.

But how to find her... I need to find an excuse to leave the village... It's so cumbersome... No need to find an excuse, just take some long-distance missions and explore on the way.

Having made up her mind, Chu Yue arrived at the door. "Disciple is back." She said as she opened the door.

"Welcome back." Bai Dan smiled in response from inside the house.

......

A few weeks later.

"Chu Yue, Bai, Shen Wu, the three of you have returned." The guards of Konoha Village greeted the three monks.

"Yeah." Chu Yue smiled and nodded.

In the past few weeks, Chu Yue has taken on many distant and complicated tasks, but still has not found any trace of her.

"Impatientness is useless." Chu Yue whispered.

"Chu Yue, let's go back first." Bai said to Chu Yue.

"Yeah." Chu Yue nodded.

Bai and Shenwu were used to these tasks. After each task was completed, Chu Yue would let the two go ahead, and he would report to the Third Hokage, and then return home after the report was completed.

On the way to the Hokage's residence today, Chu Yue heard a strange bird song in the sky.

Looking up, Chu Yue noticed a giant bird flying across the sky.

It's Konoha Village's messenger bird...

"This flying posture..." Chu Yue said, "Is it to summon jonin? For the intermediate level trial?"

The giant bird circled in the air, chirped a few times, and then flew away.

"The time has come." Chu Yue was well aware of the intermediate-level trial. This time it was held in her own Konoha Village, and because Naruto and others were participating, she was full of expectations.

Konohagakure uses the training method of having the higher-level ones guide the lower-level ones, so the mid-level trials will call on all the jonin, and anyone who feels that they have enough lower-level disciples to guide can sign up for them.

In the end, it is still up to the low-ranking disciples to decide whether to participate in the competition. The low-ranking disciples who have no mentors from the jonin have their own way.

The call for the jonin had been issued, and Chu Yue hurried to the Hokage's residence.

In the Hokage room, she first reported the mission and asked the Third Hokage: "Master, this gathering should be to prepare for the intermediate trial, right?"

"Yes, that's right." The Third Hokage nodded, "Let's go, I think everyone is here."

The meeting place of the jonin is not the Hokage room. Chu Yue followed the third generation to another room in the mansion.

Many jonin had gathered in the room, but not all of them.

The Sandaime sat down at the only chair at the table, and the ANBU immediately presented him with a stack of documents.

The Sandaime was reviewing the documents, during which time several more jonin came in.

After a moment, he put down the document and looked at the jonin, "I called you all together for one thing. From my expression, you should know what it is, right?"

"The moment has arrived..." Kakashi said.

"Have you informed all the countries?"

"When does it start?"

"A week later." The Third Hokage replied.

"So fast..." said a jonin.

"Yes." The Third Hokage said, "Time is running out, and you must work hard. Then, the jonin with the new disciple, please step forward."

The first three are Hong, Asuma and Kakashi, who just became mentors for the new disciples this year.

"So, how about it? Are there any suitable candidates among the new disciples you are guiding?"

Not all low-level disciples can participate in the intermediate trials. There are certain conditions, but the threshold is not high.

To the surprise of the ninja present, Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai all recommended their new disciples to participate in the trial.

The intermediate test is not a graduation test, it is a matter of life and death. If you are not strong enough, you may die if you are not careful.

In recent years, no new disciples have participated in the intermediate trials. This time, there are three groups of nine people, setting a record.

The arrangements for the intermediate trial were made. Chu Yue had no new disciples and no one to recommend, so she was responsible for the security of the last trial.

In the first two games, Chu Yue was fine.

Going out, Chu Yue meets Hinata.

Hinata is already at the intermediate level at this moment, and due to heavy workload, her chances of meeting Chu Yue decrease.

The intermediate-level trial is crucial. Chu Yue is unable to accept any missions during this period of time. Hinata, who is also an intermediate-level trial, may also be assigned tasks, so it would be a good opportunity for them to work together.

"Chu Yue..." Hinata said, "You're back..."

"Yes." Chu Yue nodded, "I just finished reporting the mission and was summoned by the master."

"It's the jonin call." Hinata said, "It's time for the intermediate trial again."

"Yeah." Chu Yue asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat?"

"Hmm..." Hinata lowered her head and thought.

Chu Yue's company made Hinata no longer as shy as the Hokage, but her weak nature remained unchanged.

"Then, let's go to my house." Chu Yue said, "Shenwu and Bai are at home right now, so it's a good opportunity for us to go together."

Hinata didn't think much about it and nodded, "Yeah."

"I'm back." Chu Yue opened the door and said.

"Welcome back." Shiro said, "Oh, Hinata is here too."

"Excuse me." Hinata said.

"I met him after reporting on the mission." Chu Yue said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, so I invited Hinata to have dinner with us."

"I see." Shiro said, "Indeed, we haven't been able to get together much since Jiraiya-sama came back."

"Well, thank you for your help, Bai." Chu Yue said.

"Well, wait a moment, the meal will be ready soon." Bai smiled at Hinata and Chu Yue, then turned to Kanna, "Kanna, come and help."

Shen Wu shook his head and snuggled up to Chu Yue.

"Oh, you're leaving me alone to cook again?" Bai smiled helplessly and said to Hinata, "You may have to wait a while, sorry."

"Well, I, I'll help." Seeing that Chu Yue and Shen Wu were willing to help, Hinata embarrassedly stayed in the living room to chat and went to the kitchen to lend a hand to Bai.

Chu Yue gently stroked Shen Wu's head and waited in the living room.

Soon, the food was ready and everyone had dinner together.

At the dinner table, Chu Yue asked Hinata about her recent situation.

As a young mid-level person, the inconspicuous Hinata once again gained the attention of the Hyuga family. Even Hyuga Hiashi, who originally planned to let his more talented sister Hyuga Hanabi inherit the position of head of the family, also wanted Hinata to take over as the head of the family.

But how exactly...it seems the Hyuga family elders haven't decided yet.

Chu Yue shared her recent situation and Hinata listened carefully.

"As expected of Chu Yue." Hinata said, "No matter what you do, you can handle it with ease."

"Not bad." Chu Yue said modestly, "By the way, the intermediate trial will be held in a week. Have you received the mission?" Shenwu and Hinata have been promoted to the Spiritual Vortex Realm. Logically, they should be sent on a training mission at this time. However, the two are still young and may not have been included in the formal training plan.

"No arrangements have been made yet." Hinata responded, "The preparations for the Spirit Vortex Selection Trial have just begun, and the tasks are being assigned level by level. We have not yet been included."

"Yeah." Chu Yue nodded slightly.

After the meal, Bai was in charge of washing the dishes. Kanna was still attached to Chu Yue and didn't want to leave. Hinata happened to have nothing to do, so the three of them went to the courtyard corridor together to feel the breeze on their faces.

The outside world is full of energy. This is a two-story attic, and the view from the railing is quite broad.

"It feels good." Hinata said suddenly.

"Hmm?" Chu Yue turned her head.

"Ah, no, nothing." Hinata's cheeks immediately turned slightly red.

Chu Yue chuckled, and her own affairs came to her mind again.

As long as she stays in the world of cultivation, her affairs will always be Chu Yue's concern.

Chu Yue felt a slight headache. If the problem was not resolved quickly, this brief peace would be difficult to maintain.

"By the way, Hinata, have you ever encountered strange things when you were on missions outside?" Chu Yue asked Hinata.

"Strange thing?" Hinata asked back.

"Hmm..." Chu Yue hesitated for a moment, "For example, a certain place makes you feel uncomfortable, or you feel irritated or something like that?"

Hinata thought for a moment and shook her head, "I didn't feel anything unusual when I was out training. What's wrong?"

"No problem." Chu Yue replied, "I just encountered a similar situation during the last mission, so I asked."

"Maybe you've been working too hard." Hinata smiled at Chu Yue, "You should take care of yourself."

Looking at Hinata's innocent and lovely face, Chu Yue nodded and smiled: "Yeah."

In addition, Chu Yue was still a little hesitant about whether to tell Hinata her true identity. But in the end, Chu Yue decided not to tell Hinata for the time being. After all, Hinata was still young, so she would make a decision when she grew up.

Kami remained silent, and Hinata chatted with Chu Yue on the corridor until the sun set and night fell.

As the night deepened, Hinata planned to go home.

"Let me take you back." Chu Yue said.

"Yeah." Hinata nodded.

This time, Kanna did not accompany Chu Yue, and Chu Yue accompanied Hinata alone to the Hyuga residence.

"The Lingxuan selection is approaching, Chuyue, you also have to pay attention to your own cultivation." Perhaps because Hinata was concerned about the questions asked in the corridor, she said to Chuyue with concern.

"Yes, I will." Chu Yue nodded, "You too. I don't know what kind of challenges I will face during the selection. People of my age may be afraid of me."

The three rookies coached by Chu Yue were examples of this.

"Yeah, I'll keep an eye on it..." Hinata whispered, nodding slightly.

Deep down, Hinata felt very sweet because of Chu Yue's care.

"By the way, my sister... will also participate in this Spirit Vortex selection." Hinata suddenly mentioned.
