Zongman: Capturing the goddess from Demon Slayer

Five hours later, Kushina, Mikoto, and Nonoyu finally arrived at the tower in the center of the Forest of Death.

Moreover, they were the first team to arrive.

From the start of the second exam until now, it took them less than six hours.

They successfully broke the record set by the Yellow Flash Minato's team from two years ago.

"Brother Meion, Sister Kushina and the others have passed this exam!"

Konan, in Arakawa Meion's arms, said happily.

"Let's go, we'll go down to celebrate for Kushina!"

Arakawa Meion flew down from the sky with Konan and arrived in front of the three girls.

The three girls were excited when they saw Arakawa Meion and Konan:

"Brother Meion, Teacher, we passed the second exam!"

"Yes, you all did very well. There's still a long time before the exam ends, let's go back first."

The duration of the second exam was a full one hundred and twenty hours—five days.

Although the real situation was that it would end in two or three days, even so, Kushina and the others would still need to wait here for about two days.

With this time, it would be better to learn something more useful with Arakawa Meion.

"Teacher, the Rasengan is indeed powerful, but the attack range seems a bit small."

"Is there any ninjutsu with a large attack range and even more powerful than the Rasengan?"

Kushina asked after smashing a giant tree with one Rasengan.

"Yes, yes!"

"I have a lot of this kind of ninjutsu!"

"Watch carefully!"

Having said that, Arakawa Meion accumulated a Rasengan with one hand, and then added Wind Release chakra into it.

Instantly, the original blue Rasengan turned into a white Rasengan with four constantly rotating wind blades.

The Rasengan made a harsh roar.

"This is!!!!!" Kushina looked at the Rasengan in Arakawa Meion's hand in shock.

"Wind Release: Rasen Shuriken!"

"Retreat, watch my performance!" Kushina retreated to a distance, Konan, Mikoto and Nonoyu also curiously looked at the Wind Release Rasen Shuriken in Arakawa Meion's hand.

In the eyes of the four girls, the Wind Release Rasen Shuriken was thrown out by Arakawa Meion.

Thrown towards a giant rock in the distance.

The moment the Wind Release Rasen Shuriken came into contact with the giant rock, it instantly exploded and spread out, wrapping the giant rock inside it.

Instantly, the strong wind raged, blowing the four girls so they couldn't open their eyes, and stretched out their arms to cover their eyes.

The strong wind dissipated, and they looked again in the direction where the giant rock was.

Where was there any giant rock?

A deep pit with a diameter of ten meters appeared in front of everyone.

The four girls were shocked.

Such a small Rasen Shuriken was so powerful!

"Four High One!"

"Brother Meion, I want to learn this!" Kushina stepped forward quickly and hugged Arakawa Meion's arm excitedly.

"You can learn this ninjutsu. But!"

"If I'm not by your side, you are not allowed to practice this ninjutsu."

"Once a mistake occurs, your arm will be seriously injured."

"Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Kushina said happily with narrowed eyes.

Arakawa Meion reached out and gently rubbed Kushina's hair, leading Kushina towards Konan and the three girls.

"Konan, when you grow up a bit, I will teach you some more powerful origami ninjutsu."

"Like this!"

Arakawa Meion reached out and tapped Konan's forehead.

Instantly, a pair of white wings composed of white origami paper emerged from Konan's back.

"This is 'Dance of the Shikigami', it's a ninjutsu that can fly."

"You try it."

Konan turned her head to look at the white wings behind her, with a happy expression on her face, trying to control the wings behind her.

Under Konan's control, the white wings flapped little by little, and soon took Konan into the air.

After flying around in the air, Konan pounced into Arakawa Meion's arms.

The small wings behind her flapped, kissing Arakawa Meion's cheek.

"I love Brother Meion the most!"

"I also like Konan very much."

Arakawa Meion hugged Konan and looked at Mikoto.

"Mikoto, for your current stage, it's to increase the amount of chakra, and when the time is right, I will evolve your Three-Tomoe Sharingan into the Mangekyo Sharingan!"

As a member of the Uchiha clan, and a member specially taken care of by the clan leader.

How could Uchiha Mikoto not know about the Mangekyo Sharingan.

She knew that if the Three-Tomoe Sharingan wanted to evolve into the Mangekyo Sharingan, the mind needed to experience great pain.

But now, listening to the teacher's meaning, it seems that as long as there is enough chakra, the teacher can evolve her Three-Tomoe Sharingan into the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Such great kindness and virtue, Mikoto really has nothing to repay.

She can only dedicate herself, hoping that the teacher will not dislike her.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Mikoto shyly touched Arakawa Meion's lips.

It was Nonoyu's turn, a genius girl among civilian ninjas, far inferior to super geniuses like Minato Namikaze.

But she also has the qualifications of a Jonin.

After Arakawa Meion's training, her potential has reached a new level.

"Nonoyu, your control over your chakra has reached a very precise level."

"It's time to teach you more powerful medical ninjutsu."

"Yin Seal, Creation Rebirth, Strength of a Hundred Seal."

"These three are all S-rank ninjutsu, the difficulty of learning can be imagined, once you learn them, you will not die no matter how serious the injury is."

"You must study hard, Nonoyu."

"Yes! I will definitely study hard and never disappoint the teacher's expectations!" Nonoyu vowed.

Teacher Arakawa is not only good to her, but also very handsome, simply the male god Nonoyu dreams of.

Faced with such an excellent teacher, Nonoyu is very willing to dedicate everything she has to Arakawa Meion.

But due to her civilian background, Nonoyu is not very dare to show her thoughts.

She can only silently remember all this in her heart, and wait until she grows up to find a chance to repay the teacher.

Night fell, and Arakawa Meion and his party returned to Konoha Village.

During dinner, Arakawa Meion informed Tsunade about teaching Nonoyu the Yin Seal, Creation Rebirth, and Strength of a Hundred Seal.

"Just teach it, anyway, these three ninjutsu were also developed with you."

"You also have the right to use them, don't you?" Under the table, Tsunade's jade feet climbed up Arakawa Meion's thigh little by little.

Arakawa Meion put one hand under the table, stroking Tsunade's calf.

From time to time, he tickled Tsunade's jade feet.

The numb and itchy feeling made Tsunade hum softly and wriggle back and forth in her chair.

"Sister Tsunade, what's wrong with you?" Kushina asked curiously.

Konan, who was immersed in eating, couldn't help but look at Tsunade when she heard Kushina's question.

Tsunade's face was rosy, and she smiled awkwardly.

"It's nothing."

She quickly retracted her jade feet, lowered her head and glanced at Arakawa Meion, her eyes full of娇嗔 and resentment.

After dinner, Arakawa Meion sent Kushina and Konan back to their home.

Before leaving, Kushina suddenly hugged Arakawa Meion from behind.

"Brother Meion, give Kushina some time, when Kushina grows up, it's okay too."

Arakawa Meion held Kushina's hand and turned around.

He bent down and kissed Kushina's lips.

"I'll be waiting for you."

"Love you, Kushina."

He picked up Kushina and placed her on the bed. Lan Mingang gently said:

"Rest early."

"Mmm..."

......

On the third day, Lan Mingang received a notice from the Anbu.

The second round of the Chunin Exams has concluded. Please bring Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Mikoto, and Yakushi Nonoyu to the designated location for the Chunin Exam preliminaries.

This time, out of the nineteen teams and fifty-seven genin examinees who participated in the second round of the Death Forest exam, only four teams successfully passed.

Twelve examinees.

Among them, only one team was from Konoha, which was Uzumaki Kushina's team.

The remaining three teams were from Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Amegakure respectively.

The twelve examinees who passed the second exam were brought to a training ground.

The Chunin Exams serve as a good opportunity for neighboring countries to scout the strength of other countries' ninjas. Therefore, during the final exam, which is a knockout tournament where ninjas duel each other, the high-level leaders of other countries will also come to watch.

The country whose ninjas perform outstandingly in the knockout tournament will receive more mission orders.

After all, this world doesn't only consist of ninjas; there are also ordinary people.

Ninjas also need money!

Since not many genin passed the second round of the Death Forest exam, there is no need to hold a preliminary round before the knockout tournament.

The knockout tournament will begin directly.

Matches will be determined by random draw, but teammates will not be matched against each other.

Kushina's opponent is from Iwagakure, Mikoto's opponent is from Sunagakure, and Nonoyu's opponent is from Amegakure.

Three people, three opponents from different ninja villages.

After the draw, they rested for an afternoon, and the official matches began the next day.

"Teacher, let's rest for an afternoon too!"

"Only by resting well will we have better energy to fight in the matches tomorrow, right?" Kushina suggested.

Lan Mingang had already seen Kushina, Mikoto, and Nonoyu's opponents. As long as Kushina, Mikoto, and Nonoyu don't have a brain fart and insist on feeding the enemy, they can easily crush them.

There is absolutely no need to cram before the exam.

Lan Mingang nodded secretly.

"That makes sense! Then let's go to a hot spring!"

The three girls were very happy to hear that they were going to a hot spring.

They grabbed Lan Mingang and ran towards the hot spring shop, jumping and skipping.

But when the three girls learned that they would be sharing a private room with Lan Mingang in the hot spring, their faces turned red with embarrassment.

They wanted to soak in the hot spring with Lan Mingang, but they were also shy and nervous about doing so.

"Mingang-nii!" Kushina said courageously.

"It's okay to soak in the hot spring, but you can't peek!"

"Cover your eyes!"

Saying that, Kushina took out a cloth and blindfolded Lan Mingang.

The three girls led the blindfolded Lan Mingang to the private hot spring room together.

........

After soaking in the hot spring, the three girls' faces were all flushed.

Their hearts were also pounding non-stop.

Although nothing happened with Lan Mingang, they were all very clear that Lan Mingang had seen them naked.

Eek ~ How embarrassing.

......

After leaving the hot spring shop, Lan Mingang took Kushina and the other two to eat grilled meat, and also patronized the legendary ramen shop opened by 'Otsutsuki Ichiraku'.

Coming to Konoha without eating 'Ichiraku Ramen' is a waste!

The Seventh Hokage personally inscribed the sign, you'll want to eat it again after you eat it!

The current Teuchi, the owner of the Ichiraku Ramen shop, had just taken over the business from his father.

His daughter Ayame from the series has not been born yet.

The next day, the long-awaited Chunin Exam knockout tournament finally began.

Whether a contestant is promoted from genin to chunin is not determined by the outcome of the match, but by the contestant's performance during the match.

Originally, the Land of Wind, which is closest to the Land of Fire, was supposed to arrange for the Kazekage to come and watch the matches, but since the Third Kazekage died and no one has inherited the position of Kage yet, Sunagakure only sent an ordinary high-level official to watch.

The other countries also sent ordinary high-level officials to watch.

Moreover, the Second Shinobi World War is still going on, who would dare to send their own Kage to the other side's base camp.

Do you think you are the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju?

Inside the training ground, the viewing platforms around the arena were already packed with people.

They had all come to watch the Chunin knockout tournament.

Lan Mingang and Tsunade sat in the VIP seats with Konan, watching the training ground below.

In the first match, Kushina faced Iwagakure's Passerby Iwa.

The high-level officials of Kumogakure had their own plans in mind after seeing Kushina with red hair and hearing her full name.

Passerby Iwa did not let his guard down because Kushina was a girl, because he had already heard that there was a team of three girls who were the first to pass the second Death Forest exam.

One of the girls happened to have red hair.

Earth Release: Earth Flow!

Passerby Iwa punched the ground, wanting to create a mudslide to first restrict Kushina.

Then, he would release an offensive ninjutsu to defeat her.

The range of the mudslide was very wide, quickly covering nearly half of the arena.

Kushina jumped to a tree in the corner of the arena.

Earth Release: Rock Bullet Technique!

Passerby Iwa puffed out his chest and spat out a stone towards Kushina.

The stone continued to grow larger as it flew, quickly becoming the size of a human head.

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!

Kushina turned her head and spat out a whirlwind, deflecting the stone's trajectory and using the whirlwind to fly to the treetop.

Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!

Kushina made a hand seal with one hand and raised the other, and soon the training ground was filled with thick fog.

Obscuring people's vision.

The high-level officials of Kirigakure in the Land of Water couldn't help but curse Hiruzen Sarutobi's mother when they saw that the ninja from Konoha was actually using the ninjutsu that only their village knew.

The dog days, sending people to steal my Kirigakure ninjutsu, huh?

And using it so openly!

Although the thick fog obscured people's vision, it did not affect the perception of sensory ninjas.

As a member of the Uzumaki clan, Kushina's sensory talent was not low.

She quietly came behind Passerby Iwa and immediately unleashed a Rasengan.

Passerby Iwa flew out of the fog and crashed into the viewing platform where the Konoha high-level officials were.

If it were someone else, even if the ninja from Konoha won this match,

Hiruzen Sarutobi would not agree to promote this person to jonin.

But this was not someone else, but Uzumaki Kushina.

Not only was she the future Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, but she was also Lan Mingang's student.

Can't afford to provoke, can't afford to provoke.

This child Kushina must not have done it on purpose.

Of good character and strong strength, if you don't become a chunin, who will?

......
