Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 244 See when they arrive!

What Jianchuan Ju said about recruiting was not a lie.

Although he wanted every move to be fatal during the fight just now, Jianchuan Ju still wanted to try whether his "money ability" could impress the opponent if there was a chance to subdue Kakuzu.

After all, there is actually no hatred between the two of them, and the profession of bounty hunter can only be regarded as the enemy's knife at best.

Besides, Kakuzu was a well-known money-lover. At worst, Jianchuan Ju could just let Kakuzu be his agent to manage his money.

Give Kakuzu, the agent, more commission.

Isn’t this much more cost-effective than saving a lifetime of money to buy bombs for Xiaonan to play with?
"Don't even mention 600 billion Detonating Talismans! 60 million would be enough for Sorabe to blow up Konoha countless times!"

Thinking of this, Jianchuan Judu began to feel sorry for Kakuzu.

It's a pity that this crappy "Ice Prison" of his is just a prototype of Ninjutsu and has not been perfected.

The Water Prison Technique was used as a defensive ninjutsu, and it was originally intended to be used in conjunction with Zabuza and Mei Terumi as a team combination skill.

At that time, his strength was relatively low and he did not master many ninjutsu. The water prison, an all-round buffer zone, was very suitable for resisting some splash damage.

Later, as Jianchuan Ju's strength gradually increased, the enemies he faced became increasingly powerful, and the defense of the water prison was no longer enough.

For most attacks, Jianchuan Ju either chose to rely on 'Yuqi' to resist, or took advantage of the 'Danger Prediction' to dodge them first.

Moreover, Jianchuan Ju later learned the ninjutsu "Water Style*Water Array Wall" from Qing, and the defensive power of the Water Prison Technique became even more useless.

However, the 'Water Array Wall' taught by Qing can only defend on one side. Jianchuan Ju has studied it for a long time but cannot achieve the level of the 'Second Generation Mizukage' Senju Tobirama, which surrounds the whole body, so it is not of much use to Jianchuan Ju.

What Jianchuan Ju wanted was the kind of defensive ninjutsu that could be used to block large-scale attacks from all directions when it was impossible to dodge and it was not appropriate to resist head-on.

Until recently, when he fused the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, and Jianchuan Tachibana was still unable to draw any defensive ninjutsu, he picked up the Water Prison again.

However, what Jianchuan Ju envisioned was that the thick ice layer on the outer shell would resist damage, the flowing water inside would relieve the impact, and it would also have to be firmly fixed on the ground. This was indeed somewhat difficult for a single person, and the development progress was very slow.

In the end, I managed to come up with a semi-finished product that looks a bit like a combination of ninjutsu.

If it hadn't been so close to the center of the explosion today, the 'Water Array Wall' would definitely not have been able to withstand the blast, and Jianchuan Ju wouldn't have released it rashly.

As a result, he managed to withstand the explosion that was as powerful as a full-power "egg bomb" without any injury, but he was blown so far away that Jiaodu had disappeared when he came back.

'Alas, there is still a long way to go.'

"But maybe you could consider something like Yamato's wooden wall?"

Jianchuan Ju thought so.

However, Jianchuan Tachibana's thinking about the development of ninjutsu did not last long, as the person he was waiting for finally arrived.

“Sizzle—sizzle—”

“Swish—swish—”

A familiar voice sounded in the air.

Afterwards, a dozen of the Sorabe ninjas circled in the air for half a circle before immediately slowing down and landing in front of Jianchuan Tachibana.

"team leader!"

"Captain Jianchuan!"

Chaotic sounds came one after another.

The leader was none other than Kono, who was currently temporarily taking over the management of the Air Force's Second Squad from Tachibana Jianchuan.

Kono first looked at the tattered clothes on Jianchuan Ju, then looked at the messy battlefield that had obviously just been through a battle and the huge hole on the beach, and then he asked cautiously. "Captain, what happened?"

As he spoke, Kono undressed himself and gave his clothes to Jianchuan Ju.

But at this moment, Lanzai appeared next to Jianchuanju with a "bang", holding a new set of clothes in his arms.

Jianchuan Ju ignored Kono's question. He first tore his tattered shirt into pieces, and then started putting on his coat.

This caused several female team members nearby to blush and stare with their eyes wide open.

Battle-damaged black trousers, paired with a brand new blue shirt, and surrounded by the shockingly devastated battlefield.

The figure of Jianchuan Ju is elegant yet also a bit solemn.

Jianchuan Tachibana, who was changing clothes, asked Kono casually.

"Is our team responsible for patrolling the Fire Country border today?"

Since the village established the policy of air force deterrence, the air ninjas have not only regularly deployed their entire army to conduct military exercises near the Land of Fire, but also have two teams patrolling the coastline of the Land of Fire every day, one in the south and one in the north, with Whirlpool Island as the center.

It's not really for the purpose of defending something, but the purpose is to put pressure on the Daimyo of the Fire Country and transfer this pressure to Konoha to increase the bargaining chips of Kirigakure.

Kono also realized that things might be more serious than he had imagined. Without thinking about his previous questions, he immediately answered Jianchuan Ju's questions honestly.

"Captain, our teams are taking turns to rest today. Team 3 and Team 4 are responsible for patrolling the Fire Nation border, and this area falls within the patrol area of ​​Team 4."

After thinking about it, Kono explained again.

"The camp noticed the loud noise here, and no one from the fourth team went back to report, so they sent us here to investigate the situation. In order to prevent the fourth team from being attacked."

Kono's voice became smaller and smaller as time went on, and it was obvious that he had thought of some bad possibilities.

Jianchuan Ju heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Just now, when he saw that it was his subordinates who rushed over first, for a moment, he really doubted his guess. He was afraid that it turned out to be his own people who were causing trouble, and then he, as the squad leader, would have failed miserably.

As mentioned before, Whirlpool Island is not far from the coastline of the Land of Fire.

Whether it was the 'Steam*Shuriken Explosive Egg' that he released at the beginning or Kakuzu's fire-attribute Earth Grudge self-explosion at the end, the power of both was amazing.

It was not surprising that the perception ninjas and even ordinary defense personnel at the camp noticed the movement here.

Considering the time that Teacher Qing arranged for people to go out, it is reasonable to arrive at this time.

However, after hearing everything Kono said, Jianchuan Ju couldn't help but snort coldly.

"The fourth team? They are really a dog that can't change its nature!"

He looked at the dozen or so of his subordinates and casually pointed at a team leader.

"Xitian, take your team back and inform the headquarters that no support is needed here."

"Yes, Captain!"

The team leader named Xi Tian immediately took the order and led his men to take off and return.

Jianchuan Ju then looked at the rest of the team members and spoke.

"Since Team 4 is in charge of patrolling here, we will wait here."

"See when they'll arrive!"
