Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Chapter 433 Ambush

"Hey, look over there!"

In the bushes, Ringo Ameyuri reminded her teammates in a low voice.

The other two members of the team looked in the direction she pointed and saw a green flag about one meter high, standing alone on a pile of earth.

"There's a green one? No wonder it's so hard to find!"

Hozuki Mangetsu couldn't help but complain when he saw the flag.

After evacuating from the beach, the three decided to collect all three flags first, and then consider trying to eliminate more other candidates.

Therefore, they basically tried to avoid the possible locations of the enemy as much as possible along the way and searched the island.

However, since the organizer gave all teams five days, it was obvious that the flag that was the mission target would not be easy to find.

Even though the three of them didn't trigger a battle, they only found a red flag in half a day.

At this moment, the flag was being rolled up and inserted behind Nakamura Kabuto.

However, even though the flag was discovered again at this time, Kabuto still cautiously reminded his two teammates.

"Be careful, the shape of the rock next to the flag is a bit strange."

After saying this, he immediately formed seals with his hands and activated the perception jutsu.

However, after launching the ninjutsu, there was nothing unusual within Kabuto's perception range.

'Am I being too cautious?'

Thinking of this, Kabuto spoke again to Hozuki Mangetsu beside him.

"Mangetsu, go get the flag back, be careful."

Among the three members of the team, Hozuki Mangetsu, who possesses the Hydrification Jutsu, can ignore most ordinary attacks and is obviously the most suitable one for this kind of pathfinder work.

However, just as Hozuki Mangetsu was about to move, Kabuto grabbed his wrist again and whispered.

"Wait, someone has entered my perception range!"

Hearing this, the other two immediately became alert and looked in the direction of Kabuto's sight.

Sure enough, after a while, the rustling sound of branches trembling was heard there.

It was obvious that someone was indeed walking through the woods.

The three of them looked at each other and tacitly chose to lie on the ground to keep hidden, allowing the newcomer to help to test the situation first.

As the rustling sound got closer, a shrill and unpleasant voice came from that direction.

"You'd better pray that the direction you're pointing to is correct this time! If you can't find the mission item again, hmph!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, another voice spoke.

"Okay, this girl has always had good luck. Besides, even if we really can't find it, can you really destroy this blood bag?"

"Hahaha, it's definitely not okay to destroy her, but this girl's vitality is as strong as a cockroach, how can she be destroyed so easily?"

"Don't say that. How can I continue to eat after that?"

The two voices kept talking in unison, making the three people hiding in the dark a little confused about the situation.

'Why are these people so brazen? Are they so strong that they ignore the other candidates, or are they just two idiots?'

Of course, this thought only flashed through the minds of the three people.

Before they have a clear understanding of the situation, the three of them will naturally not rashly reveal their whereabouts.

As the voices got closer, Kabuto and the other two finally saw the appearance of the person who was coming.

Walking in front were two Genin, one fat and one thin, who looked sarcastic and mean.

Behind them was a woman with red hair, a hunched body and a somewhat listless spirit.

The three of them are obviously much older than the other candidates taking part in the Joint Chunin Exam.

However, if they look at the Kusagakure forehead protector on their heads, it doesn't seem surprising.

In a small ninja village like Kusagakure, many Chunins may not be as strong as ordinary Genin in a large ninja village.

Among ordinary Genin, it may take more than ten years to produce a young ninja who can be considered a genius.

In other words, even if there really are such geniuses among the Genin, they would not be willing to send them to a joint exam where death could result.

So in order to ensure that their own ninja village would not appear too weak in this joint examination, they could only send some older and more experienced Genin to take the exam.

After all, while major villages might sneakily demote chūnin to compete in the chunin exam, a small village like theirs wouldn't dare to do so.

But even so.

Looking at the three people in front of them who lacked even the most basic vigilance, they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

'This is really outrageous.'

Just as Kabuto was thinking this.

After walking out of the bushes, the three Kusagakure Ninjas also saw the green flag stuck on the pile of earth in front of them.

The fat Kusagakure's eyes immediately narrowed into slits due to his smile.

"Haha, I said this girl always has good luck, right?"

Upon hearing this, the skinny Kusagakure looked at the red-haired female ninja next to him, kicked her in the knee, knocked her to the ground, and said with some disgust.

"You're lucky."

After saying this, he ignored his 'teammate' who was kneeling on the ground and walked straight towards the mound with the flag.

"That's all we have. Let's find two more and evacuate quickly. As long as we can hold out until the third round of exams, the elders will definitely reward us."

However, his action made the three people hiding in the dark frown.

Because the three of them all received the new style of education in Kirigakure promoted by Kaito.

Obviously, some people find it hard to accept this behavior as it is clearly an insult to their companions.

If it were the Kirigakure ninjas of the generation of Kaito and Zabuza, they might not have much feeling about such a scene.

Ringo Ameyuri at the side couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

"Those two look a bit annoying, and they don't seem very strong. Should we kill them?"

Just when Kabuto was about to agree to Ringo Ameyuri's proposal to deal with those two annoying trash.

However, something strange happened in the field.

Just as the thin Kusagakure ninja's palm was about to touch the flag.

The huge rock that Kabuto had mentioned before as being a bit out of place suddenly exploded and turned into smoke and dust all over the sky.

The sharp-eyed Hozuki Mangetsu even noticed that before the boulder exploded, a long strip of white cloth on it quickly shrank inward.

"There is indeed a problem!"

Before the three of them could think about it, two figures, one tall and one short, immediately rushed out from the smoke and dust.

At the same time, dozens of tiny flying needles quickly exploded from under the mound where the flag was originally placed, and shot in all directions.

"Get down!"

Nakamura Kabuto, who had been staring at the flag, noticed the hidden flying needle weapon at the first moment.

He immediately reached out and pushed down the two teammates beside him.

Flying needles whizzed past the three people's heads like flowers scattered by fairies.

However, the skinny Kusagakure Ninja who went to pull out the flag was not so lucky.

Dozens of flying needles pierced into his body with a "puff puff" sound, turning him into a hornet's nest on the spot.

Even the poison on the flying needles had not yet had time to take effect.

The man fell to the ground and died immediately.

The two figures that rushed out of the smoke and dust quickly arrived in front of the remaining two Kusagakure Ninjas.
