Chapter 237 Let’s Call Dou (Three more chapters! Please subscribe!)

"Ju, you're back."

A familiar voice came from behind Jianchuan Ju.

Jianchuan Ju looked back and saw Zabuza patting his butt and standing up from the ground.

"No, Zabuza, what are you doing hiding here?"

Unexpectedly, Zabuza's expression froze when he heard this, and he subconsciously raised his arm to block his chest.

"Nothing!"

As if he was afraid that Jianchuanju would continue to ask questions, Zabuza immediately changed the subject and pointed behind Jianchuanju and spoke.

"Who is this kid?"

Jianchuan Ju turned his head and looked at the white-haired kid who was about five or six years old and was following him closely, and replied helplessly.

"Him, just call him Dou for now."

Almost a month has passed since Jianchuan Ju accepted the surveillance mission and left the front-line camp to move freely.

This was also the second time that Jianchuan Ju returned to the camp to report. He usually did not appear in the camp. There was one time when he returned and left in a hurry.

People who were familiar with Jianchuan Ju had roughly guessed that he was carrying out some solo mission, so no one asked him what he was doing.

However, this time we did not return to the camp after half a month, but a few days earlier than originally planned.

As for the reason, it is naturally the little guy following Jianchuan Ju.

For safety reasons, Jianchuan Ju went out twice and went directly to the northern part of the Fire Country, the front line of the battle between fire, thunder and earth, as required by the mission.

After all, there is a war going on there now, and countless ninjas die every day.

Whether Jianchuan Ju waits for an opportunity to attack from the side or picks up the corpse directly, there are many chances to obtain the corpse of a bloodline ninja or a mystic ninja.

Although there is a risk of being accidentally dragged into the battle as a hostile ninja, Jianchuan Tachibana is acting alone after all, so his target is relatively small.

With Jianchuan Ju's current abilities, there are few enemies below the level of Kage who can be his match.

Even if he encounters top-level masters like Minato Namikaze or the Third Raikage, the worst that can happen is that his identity will be exposed, but Jianchuan Ju is confident that he can escape.

Jianchuan Ju initially targeted the ninjas from the Iwagakure Village, and wanted to see if he could open the prize pools of both the 'ground' and 'rock' attributes at once.

However, the special forces of Iwagakure, the 'Demolition Squad', basically followed the main force and had no suitable opportunities to attack. They had never even seen a ninja with the 'Laojutsu' bloodline limit.

Afterwards, Jianchuan Ju had to capture an ordinary earth-style ninja to test the "drawing" skill, but as expected, the secret technique failed.

Obviously, ordinary ninjas do not have the "characteristics" that can be recognized by secret techniques.

In the end, they just collected some information hastily and returned to the Whirlpool Island camp.

The second time Jianchuan Ju was dispatched, he targeted the ninjas in Konoha. After all, there were many ninja families in Konoha. From Jianchuan Ju's perspective, many families met the "characteristic" standards for the secret technique.

At first, Jianchuan Ju wanted to get someone from the Uchiha clan or the Nara clan back to try to open the "ghost" or "evil" prize pool through the Yin attribute. At the very least, he could get a Byakugan to use temporarily, anyway, it was to extract "characteristics", and the ninjas of the Hyuga branch could also perform "drawing", and maybe he could even open the "fighting" prize pool.

As a result, none of the above happened.

Instead, Jianchuan Ju accidentally picked up the body of a ninja from the Aburame clan.

This time, the "drawing" was finally released successfully. White oil paint-like lines moved across the corpse and connected in series until the lines were completely connected and turned into a complicated sealing technique.

The next moment, the corpse, which had just died not long ago, was quickly drained of all energy by the power of the seal, becoming withered and cracked, and a gust of wind blew away the corpse, which turned into ashes and spread on the ground.

The white oil paint lines that had successfully extracted their 'characteristics' emitted a faint glow and quickly retracted.

Finally, it gathered on Jianchuan Ju's arm and condensed into an oil paint mark shaped like a beetle.

However, the things that gave Jianchuanju a headache were still to come.

Jianchuan Ju, who successfully condensed the mark, did feel a slight difference, especially when chakra was infused into the seal mark, Jianchuan Ju could even attract some wild flying insects.

However, the 'characteristics' stolen by the 'depicting' secret technique are different from those obtained by the system lottery, and no one has explained what this is.

More importantly, if Jianchuan Ju wants to open the 'Insect UP Pool', he must first learn an Insect Ninjutsu.

This thing, which only relies on the chakra characteristics that can attract insects to develop ninjutsu, Jianchuan Ju has no idea how to do it.

Fortunately, the secret art of "drawing" can be used and replaced at any time, and the strength of the "insect pool" is not so strong that Jianchuan Ju has to give up other pools for it. When encountering an enemy with suitable "characteristics" in the future, he can simply dispel the seal.

Then, when Jianchuan Ju continued to wander alone near the battlefield, he met this white-haired kid.

At that time, Jianchuan Ju was indeed located near Platycodon Mountain, and this kid was also wandering alone near the battlefield.

But Jianchuan Ju dared to do this because he was confident in his own strength, while this little kid was completely confused and wandering around aimlessly.

When he first saw this kid, Jianchuan Ju didn't want to pay any attention to him. There were just too many tragedies on this battlefield. In the beginning, Jianchuan Ju even sent some supplies to these displaced civilians, but later he became numb after seeing so much.

However, just as Jianchuan Tachibana was about to turn around and leave, a team of passing Konoha ninjas actually wanted to kill the brat.

Then Jianchuanju had no choice but to kill these Konoha ninjas.

While Jianchuan Ju was killing these Konoha ninjas, the white-haired kid just stood there without dodging or evading, without any other reaction.

After the battle, Jianchuan Ju was still worried, so he walked up to the white-haired kid, squatted down and looked at him, and used the Water Flow Ring to heal all the minor scratches on his body.

It was not until Jianchuan Ju wanted to ask his name and found that he was dumb and didn't say a word, only shaking his head occasionally, that he realized that this little guy seemed to have lost his memory.

Looking at the other person's white hair, coupled with his silly and amnesiac appearance, Jianchuan Ju found out after some testing that this kid was a little nearsighted.

In the end, Jianchuan Ju decided to take the little kid back to the camp early.

Before leaving the battlefield, Jianchuan Ju looked at the kid whose height was just up to his chest, ruffled his white hair with a smile, and spoke casually.

"Since you've lost your memory, your name from now on will be Dou, right?"

Jianchuan Ju decided on the name of the little guy in such a hasty manner.

As for whether it is really the 'Pharmacist Kabuto' in the original work?
Does it matter?

Last day. Work starts tomorrow

PS: Let me talk about Kabuto. The original work only states that Kabuto became an orphan in the Battle of Mount Kikyo, but the time of the Battle of Mount Kikyo has never been accurately stated. However, three years passed between Kabuto being adopted by Yakushi Nono and being able to skillfully use medical ninjutsu and helping Orochimaru with his treatment, and being praised for his medical skills. At that time, Orochimaru and Danzo were still leading the team in the battle. However, the Battle of Mount Kikyo was won by Minato Namikaze, and the three wars ended quickly after the battle. Later, Hinata Hyuga was captured by the people who negotiated with Kumogakure. In short, I checked the information for a long time, but the various timelines did not match.

Fortunately, the battlefield in my book is already a mess, so let's just assume that the Kikyo Mountain has just been destroyed. As for whether it is called Kikyo Mountain or Kikyo Mountain, it should just be a translation problem. I will use Kikyo Mountain here.

 PS2: However, Kabuto’s age is accurate, he is six years younger than the protagonist and Kakashi.

(Because the timeline of the original Naruto is a bit messy in some places, I often use Kakashi's age as a node. Haha, Kakashi is not just a chakra unit to me.)
