Shino didn't answer immediately, but stood there indifferently, as if lost in thought. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Yes, Yoyo-sensei."

Hearing this faint, unwavering voice again made me smile. Nodding his head, he continued.

"The number and type of insects that can be driven by the insect envoy have a lot to do with his spiritual power, as long as the ability is sufficient, then he can even communicate with strange insects in a strange environment and make them serve him. But—"

A flash of light flashed across the pitch-black lenses, "As an insect envoy, there will always be a parasite that has been refined since the day he was born, which is closely related to his life, and the type and ability of this parasite determine the future strength of the insect envoy." No matter how much the parasite grows and expands its population in the future, its species also limits its achievements. Generally speaking, there is only one natal worm of the worm envoy...... In other words, there is only one type of insect that can really drive to the level of an arm. ”

"Hmm-" I frowned slightly, a little confused.

For such an important exam as the selection of the middle ninja, no matter what, you should show your true strength, right? So why did Babesa use locusts in the retest? According to Shino, if there is only one kind of natal worm for ordinary people, the one that is in the Bassa should be the locust? So when I met him on the plains, he was surrounded by a swarm of cockroaches, what was going on?

"Yoyo-sensei, what's the matter?" Shino asked.

I glanced up at him.

This child's wisdom is amazing! Let's take a look at his opinion.

So I told what had happened.

"Oh?" Shino was clearly interested. "It's usually impossible for Shinobi to manipulate such a large swarm so easily, not to mention, according to common sense, this is not his natal worm. However, if he indirectly manipulated the swarm through that 'Wu Feijun', it was possible! ”

"However, according to the teacher's description, Wu Fei is a more powerful existence than Sayuri, and he can be willing to obey the instructions of a lower ninja, so there must be something inside."

Hey, here, I'm afraid of this...... Although I won't suffer under Wu Fei's hands, it's probably not easy to subdue it without causing a bloody conflict, but the middle ninja exam that Babesa participated in was just a bunch of shinobi children, including my students Soma and Kako, how can I rest assured that this makes me feel at ease!

"In that case, Shino, I want to ask you one thing, when the official selection is made, I hope you can come to the scene to have a look."

"Yes!" Shino suddenly became serious.

I smiled and left Shino to find Erxiao.

Since Aoi is often sent out on missions, now the two of them are mixed together all day long, and they consciously practice according to the cultivation steps I sorted out before, but no one needs to worry about it.

Speaking of which, I'm a teacher, and I'm really miserable, I only come back after going out for more than ten days, and I have to keep running around without resting at all. (Well, self-inflicted.) ）

Still, seeing their surprised smiles made it all worth it.

"Teacher! You're back! Erxiao pounced all of a sudden.

"Hmm!"

"Teacher, we have all passed the re-examination and are just waiting for the official selection!"

"Really? Well, I don't know who the children in your group are from the first exam? ”

"Yu, it's a senior named Xiaolin." Kako replied.

"Kobayashi?" I muttered, the name sounding familiar.

"Yes. I heard that he was already a very experienced ninja, but his mentor never let him take the middle ninja exam, and it wasn't until this selection that he appeared. Soma added.

"Yes, this re-examination can be carried out so smoothly, thanks to the experience of Senior Kobayashi~" Xiangzi said with a look of adoration.

Looking at Soma's somewhat tasteful expression, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, "Is that so?" But if you're not strong enough, you'll be eliminated in the qualifiers, right!? ”

"Ah~ yes, being able to pass the pre-selection shows that I am also very good!" Soma hastened to respond.

"Well, of course Soma-kun is very powerful!" Kako covered her mouth and smiled.

This little girl is not as honest as she seems on the surface~ It seems that Soma will be eaten to death by Xiangzi for the rest of her life~

"In that case, in the evening, you call Xiao Linjun out, and I'll invite you to dinner!" According to them, this Kobayashi's mentor should be a very scheming ninja, and he himself can grow well in the future, so if he can become friends with Soma, it will always be good for their future. After all, they will have to return to their own country sooner or later, and they will not live in Konoha all the time, so if they want to date, they must start early.

So, today's dinner became four people.

"So, Kobayashi-kun, thank you for taking care of Soma these days. I didn't rush back in time to bother you! ”

As soon as I met, I finally remembered that this guy was one of the shinobi who led the team in Aoi's graduation drill in the country of smoke in the year she graduated, and I had observed his actions with the Eagle Eye technique. Indeed, at that time, he was already a ninja who advanced and retreated, and now, it should be more mature, right?

"Ah, don't be so polite, please call me Xiaolin directly! After all, I'm Soma and Kako's senior, and I should take care of them, besides, both children are very smart and powerful, so I don't need to bother at all! "Kobayashi is very modest, but he is also telling the truth.

"Ah, then, I'm disrespectful! I don't know who Kobayashi's mentor is? "I'm also interested in this~

"This ...... Soon after I became a shinobi, the tutor accepted a special assignment and did not show up again, only occasionally sending me a few words to guide my practice, and this time it was the same, because of the permission of the tutor, I applied for the middle ninja exam......"

Soma and Kako showed naturally puzzled expressions at such an incomprehensible answer, but I was enlightened.

Is it because of a confidential mission that you didn't reveal your name to us?

He passed a look to Erxiao, "Understood, please forgive me for being reckless, then, next, I wish you all the best and become a middle ninja!" ”

"Cheers!!"

A few people who had let go of their worries ate and drank.

Twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye, and I haven't done any special training for the second elementary school, speaking of which, since I took over the third class, their days have been very fulfilling~! What's more, as far as I know, whether you can become a middle ninja or not examines the comprehensive ability of a ninja, including combat effectiveness, judgment, insight, analysis, and leadership ability.

On the day of the official audition, Shino and I sat in the audience together, waving to Soma, Kako, and Kobayashi from afar. Because of the previous borrowing of Sayuri, the second child is no stranger to Shino, and they all smiled.

His eyes swept over the crowd on the player's seat on Konoha's side, and he actually found another acquaintance: Ding Dong.

When I transformed into a cheetah and a thorn and staged a dragon and tiger fight, she helped me "beat away" the thorn. According to the ability she showed at the time, she should be a ninja who is good at using water escape, very careful, and her analytical skills are quite good.

However, it seems that Xiaolin and Ding Dong are old acquaintances, and the two of them naturally stood together after saying hello.

The race was soon underway. It's not difficult to see that there are a lot of people who are as cautious as Kobayashi's mentors, most of this year's candidates are older, and there are few tender hands who have just graduated from ninja school, and although Soma has been tested several times, it is still very difficult to fight, but they finally stumbled and won the opponent, and smiled at me proudly.

I waved my hand and signaled to them that the fight wasn't over yet, it was just their first round.

The next thing to end up is Konoha's Jingle Bell and - Iwakuin Besa!

Drink~! It turned out that Dingdong met this opponent!

I glanced at Shino, who nodded slightly, and released the worm inside himself.

The two went down to the middle of the field, and neither said anything to each other. Temporary peace will not break the psychological barriers caused by protracted hostilities.

They nodded to each other and went straight to the action.

"Water Escape, Water Dragon Bomb!"

As soon as I shouted like this, I immediately remembered that the little unformed water dragon had come that night, and I couldn't help but laugh a little, and then my eyes widened.

It's really amazing, I haven't seen each other for a year and a half, and she can already send out such an imposing water dragon bomb! Now it's in an arena far from the water!

I'd like to see how the Bassa copies.

I saw him wave his hand casually, and a swarm of flying locusts appeared beside him, spitting in the direction where the water dragon was attacking.

(Well, I don't know if you ever caught a grasshopper when you were young, but when you catch it, it spits on it, it's yellow-brown, disgusting and smells terrible.) ）

These salivas gathered together actually formed the appearance of a water dragon, although it was a little smaller, and the appearance was ugly, but after all, it was also in the shape of a dragon.

The jingle water dragon collided with the locust's saliva dragon in an instant.

There was no imaginary scene of each other being broken and dying—the water dragon bullet maintained a good shape and plunged headlong into the belly of the saliva dragon, and the saliva dragon was like a big snake swallowing an elephant, swelling up little by little.

Wow! There was an uproar in the audience, and I couldn't help but change my complexion. Is the saliva of locusts so sticky and malleable?

I looked back at Shino, and he looked at him calmly, not surprised at all.

And the water dragon bomb with a brown coat made a strange U-turn in the air at this time, and rushed towards Jingle Bell.
