Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the hand in the air, and as the hand was slowly retracted, they noticed another young man standing on the tree.

The young man had long, smooth black hair, snow-white skin, and a pair of vertical pupils that were filled with a hint of coldness.

He was wearing the same attire as Jiraiya, except his vest was black.

Unlike his somewhat creepy appearance, he seemed very polite when he spoke.

He bowed slightly to everyone, then spoke softly:

“I’m sorry, everyone. I’m afraid I can’t let you leave from here.”

Looking at the young man in front of him, the leader swallowed nervously, but before he could speak, a loud noise suddenly came from behind him.

He quickly looked back, only to see that the other team that had separated had disappeared.

Instead, there was a cloud of dust.

“All of you scum who robbed young girls, go to hell!”

Following a vicious female voice, one could vaguely see a young girl gradually walking out of the fog.

When the smoke cleared, the girl’s figure finally appeared in front of them.

This person is Tsunade.

After three years, her hair grew longer, but was still tied into a high ponytail behind her.

She was dressed the same as Jiraiya and the others, except that her vest was cyan.

After discovering that he and his companions were secretly surrounded by these three people, the leader’s face darkened.

But at this moment, the last voice made him sweat profusely.

Because the voice came from behind him.

“How many times have I told you to talk less nonsense when you are on a mission?

What? Don’t go, stop this.

If they are really that obedient, what do we need the police for?

And Jiraiya, where did you learn that phrase, let go of that girl?

I told you not to read so many weird books.”

Although the tone of these words was light, the leader felt as if his whole body was frozen.

He looked back with difficulty, and what came into his sight was a pair of Sharingan.

…………

Kicking the fallen enemy, Kagura curled her lips in boredom as she looked at Tsunade who was examining the girl.

Yes, this is the seventh team on the mission.

This time, the mission they received was to rescue the abducted girl commissioned by the Whirlpool Country.

Looking at the girl’s bright red hair, Kagura sighed slightly.

Just as he remembered the plot, various countries have begun to extend their influence to the Whirlpool Country.

As the Kirigakure Village is the closest geographically, it is naturally one of the main criminals.

But he knew very well in his heart that this was just the beginning and the demise of the Whirlpool Country was inevitable.

After checking that the girl was fine, Tsunade took the initiative to carry the girl on her back.

Orochimaru walked up to Kagura and asked curiously:

“Oh, the police you just mentioned…

what is that? “

Kagura was stunned, and replied randomly pretending to be stupid:

“Did I say that?

You must have heard me wrong, I said ninja, ninja!”

“Ninja?

I guess I heard it right…”

Orochimaru scratched his face in confusion.

One day later, in Whirlpool Country.

Watching the girl who returned safely, hugging her family and crying bitterly.

Kagura and the others also smiled with satisfaction.

The staff of Whirlpool Country standing by sighed as they looked at the four members of Team 7.

During these three years, the four Genin from Konoha have become very famous.

Although they only have the title of Genin, everyone in them should not be underestimated.

In fact, they are recognized to have at least the strength of a Chunin.

Especially the leader Uchiha Kagura. One of the jonin who had fought with him once said:

“I think the reason Konoha didn’t promote him to jonin was to trick the ninjas from other countries.

Give this kid another two years, and I won’t be surprised if he can challenge the Kage level!”

As his strength was recognized by more and more people, the nickname he had in Ninja School was mentioned again.

“Monster” from Konoha!

This is just a title that Kagura has been given again in recent years.

After completing the mission, receiving the reward, and saying goodbye to the girl’s family who thanked them, Kagura and his friends set out on the journey back to the village.

As they were walking, Tsunade suddenly ran to Kagura, hugged his right hand with both hands, and said coquettishly:

“How about we take a walk and then go back, okay?”

I have to say, in these three years, apart from her height, Tsunade’s biggest change is that she finally started to grow.

Although it is not as grand as the future, Kagura can swear with his Sharingan that he has at least reached B!

Feeling the softness touched by her right hand, Kagura couldn’t help but raise the corners of her mouth, and an unnatural blush appeared on her face.

Tsunade naturally saw the changes in Kagura. She playfully glanced at Kagura’s embarrassed expression, but held Kagura tighter in her arms.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru on the side were no longer surprised by this kind of scene.

Jiraiya was walking while opening a book he had just found and reading it carefully.

Over the years, it might be because Kagura’s abilities really impressed him.

Especially after he recovered from his injury, he heard Orochimaru and Tsunade describe how Kagura openly dueled with Danzo for him.

He even tacitly regarded Kagura as the boss.

Or maybe it was because he knew in his heart that it was impossible for Tsunade to have any romantic feelings for him.

Anyway, he has resolutely abandoned the vague affection he had for Tsunade over the years.

So as long as you give up early, there will be no such thing as bootlicking.

As for Orochimaru, he is not interested in matters between men and women.

If you have that much time, you might as well study more ninjutsu.

However, this time, watching Tsunade and Kagura “flirting”, he rarely interrupted and said:

“I think we should go back as soon as possible, otherwise if we can’t make it this time, we will have to wait another year.”

Hearing his words, Kagura instantly came to her senses.

Pulling his hand away from Tsunade with a hint of regret, he continued seriously:

“Well, Orochimaru is right.

Let’s go back, we must make sure to attend the event in time this time.

Take part in the Chunin Exams!”

Chapter 39 Chunin Examination

Yes, the four of them are still Genin now.

But it is not a conspiracy of the top leaders of Konoha Village as some conspiracy theories speculated by the outside world.

It was simply because they missed the Chunin Exams two years in a row.

Like all our current exams, the Chunin Exams also require advance registration and have a clear deadline.

However, during the registration period for the last two Chunin Exams, all four of them were away on missions.

And because there was no teacher leading the group, there was no one to help them register.

Kagura was also helpless about this.

This task is not like any clerical work, there is no way to control the time.

It’s okay if there are clear and fixed enemies, but what I’m most afraid of is a missing person mission like this one.

It only took half an hour to defeat those Chunins, but who knew that they would track that group of people for more than ten days!

It is precisely because of these coincidences that they are still Genin until now.

In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen had considered whether to directly promote them to Chunin. After all, in his opinion, Kagura was more than qualified to be a Jonin.

But unlike the war period, the assessment system for ninjas of all levels in the village had just been implemented by him.

If we ignore the system and forcibly promote them to Chunin at this time, it would undoubtedly be like shooting ourselves in the foot.

Haven’t you seen that a certain young man who returned from his travels with the ability to resist an enemy like Nagato, was just a Genin because he didn’t take the exam.

When they heard Kagura mention the Chunin Exam, everyone’s faces became serious.

Tsunade said with some resentment:

“Yes, I must catch up this time!
