Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 261 New Magic Gun
Jianchuan Ju took out the strange bracelet from the wooden box and looked at Elder Yuanshi in confusion.

"This thing can temporarily protect you from the effects of the village barrier, although it looks like you've already done it yourself."

Jianchuan Ju looked at the bracelet, then looked at Elder Yuanshi, and put the bracelet back into the box.

The current situation is still a bit weird. Before I figure it out, it’s better not to bring this mess with me.

According to Elder Yuanshi, the current situation was caused by the village's barrier, and this "attack" was not very powerful after being dispersed to himself.

Maintaining 'Mysterious Guardian' doesn't consume much mental energy, so I don't need this bracelet for the time being.

"Elder, what is going on? Could it be that the village did this on its own?"

Jianchuan Ju couldn't figure it out.

"Isn't it possible that the Hidden Mist Village is pursuing a harmonious society? And can this thing be created just by thinking about it?"

However, this time, Elder Yuanshi just smiled and shook his head. He did not give a direct explanation, but spoke vaguely.

"This matter is related to your next mission. Let's wait for the three generations to explain it to you tomorrow."

"Um, tomorrow?"

"That's right. The Third-sama has been dealing with this matter recently, so he can only show up for three hours a day. You can come to the Mizukage Building again tomorrow morning."

Elder Yuanshi still had a smiling face, but he was very determined not to speak.

'Is it necessary to be so mysterious?'

That's what he thought, but after all, he was a real high-ranking official in the village. Since he didn't want to say it, Jianchuan Ju had no choice.

"What about Minister Chun Yu?"

Jianchuan Ju himself discovered the abnormality and flew over directly, but Chunyu was left by him at the village gate.

However, Elder Yuanshi didn't care.

"The barrier only absorbs negative emotions and does not affect a person's mind. The spring rain should come soon."

'absorb?'

Jianchuan Ju immediately grasped the key words in Elder Yuanshi's words, but quickly complained in his mind.

"Everyone on the street is like that, and you still say it doesn't affect their mental health? The village leaders are really generous!"

Unfortunately, there was too little information and Jianchuan Ju had no clue.

After saying goodbye to Elder Yuanshi, he left the office with a lot on his mind.

"I hope it was really the village's fault. I hope there won't be another mastermind behind it."

"But now that I think about it, Kakashi seems to have just become a jonin, right? It should be quite some time before Obito is finished being trained by Uchiha Madara."

Maybe it's because of the appearance of a monster like Tachibana Kanegawa in the Hidden Mist Village that Konoha has been frantically promoting the story of Kakashi Hatake becoming a jonin at the age of twelve, as if they want to compete with the Hidden Mist Village.

Although the battle of Kannabi Bridge in the original work is definitely gone, the important node of Kakashi becoming a jonin also allows Tachibana Jianchuan to have some expectations about what will happen next.

Otherwise, judging from the current situation of the Hidden Mist Village or the current situation in the ninja world which has long been completely changed, Jianchuan Ju really is a little confused about the timeline.

"Forget it. Even if it's Uchiha Madara who's behind this, we're not completely hopeless about dealing with him."

Jianchuan Ju clenched his fists and strode out of the Mizukage Building.

"But since we won't know the mission until tomorrow, we can go and take a look at old man Shimotsuki first." Jianchuan Ju carefully avoided the friendly people on the street who greeted him. He always felt that he was the strange one.

It was not until he arrived at Ichiro Shimotsuki's shop and saw that it was deserted that Jianchuan Tachibana relaxed a little.

"Old man, I...ah."

Jianchuan Ju let out a long sigh.

The whole village is in this state, how could old man Shuangyue be spared?

But since it was the village's fault, there shouldn't be any sequelae, right?
"Hey, is Orange-boy back in the village?"

Although Shimotsuki Ichiro greeted her warmly as usual, Jianchuan Tachibana only responded with a lack of interest.

Even the old man's words of concern were only responded to perfunctorily by Jianchuan Ju.

And seeing that Ichiro Shimotsuki was still enthusiastic even though he was being perfunctory, the weirdness became even stronger.

It was not until Shimotsuki Ichiro took out the newly modified "magic gun" that Jianchuan Tachibana regained some spirit.

"This is?"

Jianchuan Ju noticed at the first moment that the scabbard of the magic spear was completely different from the previous one.

"No wonder the old man said he didn't want a scabbard last time."

When Ichiro Shimotsuki heard the question from Tachibana Jianchuan, he seemed to become proud and explained with a smile.

"As I said before, it is too difficult to optimize the blade structure of the Divine Lance. Even if we continue to add materials, it will only increase the hardness and flexibility. The function of the Divine Lance itself is still based on the original pair of long swords, so it is difficult to strengthen it."

"It's just that the scabbard you used last time reminded me that since the structure of the blade cannot be changed, we can try to find a breakthrough in the scabbard!"

Then Ichiro Shimotsuki began to introduce the new magic gun in detail.

The focus of this transformation was placed on the scabbard, just as the old man had said before, and the blade was simply strengthened.

Thanks to the previous "flying gem", the new scabbard has gained the ability to continuously accumulate energy. Originally, this gem was embedded into the handle by Ichiro Shimotsuki, but the overall enhancement of the divine spear was really average.

It was re-inlaid into the scabbard by Ichiro Shimotsuki, and was reforged with a lot of materials that Tachibana Jianchuan obtained from the system lottery.

Now, as long as the magic spear is sheathed, it will automatically absorb free energy through the scabbard.

After the magic gun is unsheathed, it can not only continuously increase the strength and sharpness of the blade, but also activate it all at once to greatly extend the attack range of the "magic gun".

According to old man Shuangyue, a one-time activation can extend the attack range of the "God-killing Spear" by a hundred times, that is, 40 meters long, and the activation speed and the hardness of the "blade" are also improved.

If the goal is simply to maintain the strength and sharpness of the blade, it can last for an hour. Ordinary swords will break as soon as they touch it, and even inferior chakra metal weapons can be shattered in a few strokes.

Moreover, these two additional capabilities basically do not require much consumption for the users.

Of course, you can also choose to actively inject chakra into the scabbard, but the speed is not very fast, and it takes about ten minutes to fully charge.

It's not that this action consumes a lot of chakra, but Ichiro Shimotsuki took the initiative to limit the charging speed. Otherwise, with the quality of the "Flying Gem", it might not be able to support a few rapid charges before being damaged.

"However, if you find a more suitable energy storage gem later, you can replace it directly."

As he said this, Ichiro Shimotsuki actually took off the gem from the scabbard.
