Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 12 Mei Terumi

Wednesday, Training Ground No. 11 in Kirigakure Village.

Obviously, the Jounin meeting of the Hidden Mist Village a few days ago would not reach the ears of the new Genin Jianchuan Tachibana.

Jianchuan Ju still trains as usual every day, accumulating gold coins and improving his strength.

Although he has accumulated enough gold coins for a ten-draw, both the medical knowledge and the newly acquired water-style ninjutsu are enough for Jianchuan Ju to study for a while.

So after thinking about it, I decided to withdraw all of them at once when the event is almost over.

It’s just that I’m not a student at a ninja school now, and I don’t have a mentor to lead the team.

These days, after getting off work at the hospital, Jianchuan Ju came to this small training ground in a remote area of ​​the Hidden Mist Village to practice.

After completing his daily training as usual, Jianchuan Ju looked at the time and prepared to have a sparring session with Lan Zai before going home.

After one man and one frog stood facing each other, Jianchuan Ju signaled Lanzai to start the sparring immediately.

"Blue, get ready, it's about to begin!"

Lanzai also called out with a serious face.

"(ー`ー) Quack~"

Recently, Jianchuan Ju's strength has improved very quickly. Even though the little frog has been training every day, the gap between the two in strength is getting bigger and bigger, which makes it very annoyed.

Following the sound of Jianchuanju.

"start!"

The two shurikens in his hands were thrown out instantly, drawing two graceful arcs in the air and flying towards Lan Zai.

The little guy didn't panic at all. He pulled two bubbles off his bubble scarf with his hands.

He threw one to the left and one to the right, intercepting the two incoming shurikens in mid-air and shooting them down.

This kind of bubble is the innate ability of the Bubble Frog. Although it is not very effective for attack and it will not hurt even if hit by the bubble, its defensive ability is very good.

With the strength of an ordinary Genin, even if Lan Zai didn't throw the bubble out but was attacked on the neck, he wouldn't be able to hurt it at all.

Seeing that the shuriken was intercepted, Jianchuan Ju was not discouraged. He just quickened his pace to get closer to Lan Zai.

Due to his body size, Lanzai is currently always at a disadvantage in strength confrontations.

After a few simple rounds of fighting, he immediately changed his strategy, tensed his legs to accumulate strength, and used the "Lightning Flash" to create distance.

Although Jianchuan Ju looked at this with some envy, he was not without a solution. As he ran forward, he immediately formed seals with his hands and released ninjutsu.

[Water Style*Water Jet]

Two streams of water immediately gushed out from under Jianchuan Ju's feet. The strong thrust also increased his forward speed sharply, and Jianchuan Ju's body was lifted slightly off the ground by the strong thrust of the water.

But this is not the end yet, Jianchuan Ju continued to make seals.

"Water Style*Flying Water Shuriken"

As the second ninjutsu was released, the water sprayed from the feet behind him miraculously flowed back into Jianchuan Tachibana's hands, gradually condensing into a shuriken made of water.

As the water shuriken spun rapidly in Jianchuan Ju's hand, it expanded to a diameter of nearly 30 centimeters in an instant.

You should know that ordinary standard shurikens are often less than 10 cm in size for easy carrying and use.

Looking at the water shuriken in his master's hand, which was almost as big as himself, Lanzai's face turned pale instantly.

He immediately leaped into the air quickly, opened his mouth and used the "water gun", using the reaction force of the water flow to fly backwards.

Unexpectedly, Jianchuan Ju dodged the water gun with a light flash, and then continued to move forward.

What was even more surprising was that after the water flow from the water gun flew over Jianchuan Ju, it drew a U-shape in the air and merged into the water shuriken that was still growing.

Seeing this, Lanzai could only kick the tree trunk behind him with his legs and use "Lightning Flash" again. His small body borrowed momentum twice in the forest, like a blue lightning, and quickly avoided his master's pursuit.

Seeing this, Jianchuan Ju smiled, stretched his right arm backwards, and his whole body was like a fully drawn bow. He suddenly swung the water shuriken in his hand towards the big tree that Lan Zai had used for leverage.

However, at the moment when the water shuriken flew out, Jianchuan Ju was also dumbfounded.

"WC! Why is it so big?!"

A large shuriken with a diameter of more than 60 centimeters, accompanied by the sound of wind and water splashes, flew out at high speed like an afterimage, instantly cutting down several large trees that could be hugged by one person.

It then hit an open space and exploded with a loud bang. The violent explosion turned the area into a mess in an instant.

The soil flew everywhere, and the lawn and low bushes were knocked all over the place by the exploding airflow and flying water droplets.

Seeing this scene, even though he was the instigator of all this, Jianchuan Ju couldn't help but secretly click his tongue.

Since he had been looking forward when he rushed forward, Jianchuan Ju only knew through a rough feel before throwing the water shuriken that this shuriken that condensed all his remaining chakra should be a bit big. Naturally, he couldn't throw this kind of attack ninjutsu directly at Lanzi.

Jianchuan Ju only threw it towards the open space after seeing Lan Zai completely avoid it.

I just didn't expect it to be so outrageously powerful.

When Jianchuan Ju sat down on the spot exhausted, Lan Zai came to his side with an angry expression.

"Haha, Lanzai, you win this time. I have no chakra left."

Jianchuan Ju looked at Lan Zai's expression and wanted to reach out and touch his head to comfort him.

"(｀へ) Quack!"

However, Lan Zai, who was a little angry, turned away and avoided the touch.

"Sorry, sorry."

"It was just a sudden idea at the beginning that I used the large amount of water generated by the water jet to perform the flying water shuriken. I didn't expect it to be so powerful."

Seeing his little frog so angry, Jianchuanju immediately clasped his hands together and sincerely apologized to Lanzai.

Perhaps thinking of the scene where the water gun he used was also sucked in, Lan Zai stopped making a fuss.

He jumped and skipped to pick up the two shurikens that Jianchuanju had thrown before.

Jianchuan Ju lay down on the grass and looked at the sun in the sky through the thick fog on the training ground.

"It would be nice if I could live such a simple life forever."

Jianchuan Ju was lying down and thinking about life when a figure suddenly stretched out his head from above him and blocked the sunlight.

"Hey! Kid! It was you who just released it randomly in the training ground. Why is it you?!"

Because the person was facing away from the sun, Jianchuan Ju didn't recognize who he was at first, but the voice sounded familiar.

However, out of precaution, Jianchuan Ju turned over and stood up immediately.

What he didn't expect was that the person who came was Mei Terumi, whom he had met once before.

Also wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt, the black-haired boy brushed off the grass debris on his body and stood up in embarrassment, while the girl with short brown hair stood with her hands on her hips, waiting for the other person angrily.

"Why are you here again? Last time you were blocking the door at the hospital, and this time you were randomly throwing ninjutsu at the training ground. Don't you know if there are any other people first?"

"I'm sorry, I haven't seen anyone here at this training ground these past few days, so I wasn't paying much attention just now."

Jianchuan Ju naturally didn't want to have any conflict with a kid of this age, so he didn't pay too much attention to the other person's tone.

Seeing Jianchuan Ju's good attitude, Terumi Mei herself felt a little embarrassed. But she still spoke stubbornly.

"I am a formal ninja, but I have been on a mission and have not been here for training. I have been training in this training ground before."

At this point, Mei Terumi noticed that the Kirigakure Ninja emblem on Tachibana Jianchuan's arm had been changed into an armband.

"Are you the village's genin? How come I haven't heard of you before? Last time we met you didn't seem to be wearing a forehead protector?"

The three questions were asked in rapid succession, leaving Jianchuan Ju speechless.

Are we familiar?
I don't mind having a good relationship with the future Fifth Mizukage, but wasn't Mei Terumi too cocky when she was a child?
But never mind, all little kids are probably like this.

"I just became a medical ninja a few days ago. It's normal that you don't know me."

After saying this, I felt that if I didn't interrupt, Mei Terumi would probably keep asking questions one after another.

Just at this moment, Lan Zai also jumped over with two shurikens in his arms. Jianchuan Ju picked up Lan Zai and put him on his shoulder, ready to leave.

Seeing that Jianchuan Tachibana seemed to be leaving, Terumi Mei couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"The powerful jutsu just now doesn't look like something from a medical professional. And what's your name?"

"Medical ninjas are also ninjas, and they are different from ordinary medical personnel. Besides, shouldn't you tell your own name before asking someone else's name?"

"My name is Mei Terumi, and I'm the woman who will become the Mizukage in the future!"

When asked her name, Mei Terumi seemed to be well prepared and she blurted out this ideal that she had repeated in her mind countless times.

At this time, Jianchuan Ju had already turned around and walked a few steps. He didn't even look back, but just waved his right hand to say goodbye.

"My name is Jianchuan Ju. In the future... I will be a man who can live to old age."

Looking at the figure that gradually merged into the fog, Mei Terumi curled her lips.

"What? I thought he was a powerful guy, but he turned out to be so unambitious!"
