The entire ninja world felt like a storm was brewing, which put a lot of pressure on Kenji.
However, there was some good news: Charmander had successfully evolved into Charmeleon, instantly gaining strength equivalent to a Jonin.
And Kenji had drawn another Pokémon egg. Although he didn't know what Pokémon it was yet, it was still a future trump card.
On a sunny afternoon, Kenji was repeatedly "torturing" a carp.
In short, he would first injure the carp, then heal it with medical ninjutsu, and then injure it again. He would repeat this process to improve his proficiency in medical ninjutsu.
Although the ninja world situation was tense, the major ninja villages hadn't taken action yet, so there weren't many injured people in Konoha Hospital.
Therefore, Sato Shuichi will have to forgo tonight's "dinner."
At this moment, Charmeleon suddenly appeared in front of him.
Seeing Charmeleon's hurried appearance, Kenji quickly asked what had happened.
After Charmeleon gesticulated for a while, Kenji finally understood that the Pokémon egg he had placed in the summoning world was about to hatch.
That's why Charmeleon had rushed to Kenji's side.
So, Kenji casually released the carp back into the stream.
While gaining +1 merit, he also accumulated some good luck. If he hatched a Rattata or Caterpie, he would be screwed.
The summoning world where Charmeleon lived was a place that didn't border anywhere else, like a small world in a fantasy novel.
So far, only Kenji and Charmeleon could enter.
There were forests, dunes, seas, lakes, and even a volcano, so it could be said that it had all kinds of landforms.
Under the tense gazes of Kenji and Charmeleon, the Pokémon egg was constantly trembling.
Suddenly, a green horn poked out from the eggshell.
Before long, the Pokémon completely broke free from the Pokémon egg.
It was Larvitar, the pre-evolution of Tyranitar, the pseudo-legendary Pokémon known as the Desert Tyrant.
If Charmeleon was a future Fire Release master, then Larvitar was a future Earth Release master.
He wondered if he would ever draw Pokémon with Water, Wind, or Lightning attributes in the future.
Looking at the cool-looking Larvitar, Kenji squatted down, extended his right hand, and said softly.
"Larvitar, I'm Kenji Tanaka, and this is our partner Charmeleon. Please take care of us in the future."
Larvitar glanced at the smiling Kenji and then at Charmeleon next to him.
Then, it gently placed its small claws in Kenji's palm.
After greeting Charmeleon as well, Larvitar burrowed into the ground and headed towards a nearby mine.
Looking at Charmeleon's puzzled expression, Kenji couldn't help but explain.
"Larvitar needs to eat a lot of soil to accumulate enough energy to evolve. It probably needs to eat a mountain's worth of soil."
After listening to Kenji's words, Charmeleon looked at the hole left by Larvitar and couldn't help but reveal a look of awe.
It actually needed to eat so much soil to evolve. Then it must be very powerful after it evolves.
It had to work harder, it couldn't let the newcomer surpass it.
Looking at Charmeleon, who had suddenly become motivated, Kenji didn't know what had happened.
However, seeing Charmeleon training seriously was a good thing. If Charmeleon evolved into Charizard before the Second Shinobi World War, then Kenji's chances of survival would increase dramatically.
However, with Kushina now the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Konoha wouldn't let her carry out any dangerous missions.
If something happened to the Nine-Tails, the consequences would be disastrous. This way, even if the Second Shinobi World War broke out, Kenji's team would be relatively safe.
Time passed little by little. During this time, Kenji's team completed many missions, including several B-rank missions involving ninjas.
However, Tsunade and Kushina had become much more silent.
Faced with this situation, Mikoto had also asked Kenji about it in private. However, Kenji could only say that he was powerless.
After all, the death of a loved one wasn't a sudden rainstorm, but a lifetime of dampness, and only time could heal that wound.
One day, Kenji came to Tsunade's house to practice ninjutsu as usual, but suddenly found that Tsunade and Nawaki seemed to be arguing about something.
"I have to go. Kojiro and Nami have both gone, why can't I go?"
"I said you can't go, and you can't. I'm your sister. I'll talk to Orochimaru. You just stay at home for a while."
"I don't care about that, you old woman. I'm all grown up, I don't need you to tell me what to do."
After leaving these words, Nawaki, with a flushed face, glared at Tsunade and ran out of the house.
Tsunade, who was left behind, rubbed her temples with a helpless expression.
It wasn't until this time that Kenji cautiously approached and said softly.
"Sensei, I'll go practice ninjutsu first?"
Tsunade glanced at Kenji.
"Aren't you going to ask why Nawaki and I were arguing?"
"It's hard for an honest official to settle family disputes, and it's obvious that Nawaki did something wrong. After all, how could my wise and mighty teacher be wrong?"
Hearing this answer, Tsunade rolled her eyes at Kenji.
"You're saying something and nothing at the same time. Nawaki and his team received a mission in the Land of Rain, but I don't want him to go, you understand?"
The current Land of Rain could be said to be quite dangerous, with Rain ninjas and Sand ninjas constantly engaging in small-scale skirmishes.
However, with Orochimaru leading the team, there shouldn't be any problems. After all, Orochimaru's strength was undeniable.
Moreover, if Kenji remembered correctly, Nawaki should have been killed by explosive tags in one of the battles during the Second Shinobi World War.
So, there shouldn't be any problems with this trip to the Land of Rain.
However, Kenji didn't dare to say anything more. What if, because of his butterfly effect, something happened to Nawaki in the Land of Rain?
And if he had spoken up for Nawaki, then things would really blow up.
