Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 29 Old Silver Coin

Terumi Meiying opened her mouth slightly and a stream of water spurted out of her mouth.

The water flow gradually expanded, and in a flash it turned into turbulent waves rushing towards the group of pirates.

This time, Mei Terumi did not hold back at all. The surging waves powered by her chakra knocked the group of pirates over.

However, Water Rush Wave is only a C-level ninjutsu after all, so it naturally cannot do anything to Yugui and Yuya.

Both of them jumped up lightly and avoided the attack of the waves.

Fortunately, Mei Terumi's goal was only to disperse the opponent and divide the battlefield.

This is to prevent himself and Jianchuan Ju from having to guard against sneak attacks from the pirate minions while dealing with the fish ghosts.

Seeing the enemies dispersed, Zabuza and Lanzai rushed towards Yuya with a broken arm and the pirate minions who were still struggling to get up.

Tachibana Jiangawa and Mei Terumi immediately threw out several kunai and shurikens to distract the fish demon and prevent it from rescuing other pirates.

Yu Gui didn't expect that these two little kids, about ten years old, would dare to rush towards him like this.

He snorted coldly, and without paying any attention to the other crew members, he directly drew the scimitar from his waist, ready to deal with the two little devils first.

As Jianchuan Ju was running, he saw the opponent pulling out a scimitar, and his brain started working fast.

'Just now, when the other party rescued his companion from a distance, he clearly used wind escape ninjutsu, so it is clear that he is not without ninjutsu ability.'

'But now that he saw the two of us charging forward, his first reaction was not to use ninjutsu to fight back, but to draw out a weapon like a scimitar. If he didn't simply look down on the two of us, then it might be that the other party is better at close combat.'

"At that distance, with the speed of a Taijutsu Jonin, he could have chosen to rescue the person directly. There was no need to use wind escape and cause his teammates to be injured again."

"A chuunin who prefers physical skills? No, that vice-captain is a chuunin. So, an elite chuunin? We'll fight him!"

Although I thought a lot in my mind, it was actually just a matter of a moment.

While running, Tachibana Jianchuan and Mei Terumi looked at each other and made hand gestures, formation B!

Mei Terumi immediately understood and stopped preparing to release the water array wall.

The two of them stopped rushing forward tacitly, and instantly separated to the sides, stepping on the water surface just created by Mei Terumi, surrounding the fish ghost on the left and right.

First, he threw out a few more shurikens to interfere, and then formed seals with both hands at the same time, preparing for ninjutsu.

"Oh, you arrogant brat!"

The fish ghost immediately realized that the two little ghosts were trying to restrain him through long-range attacks.

As if he was angry at being looked down upon, he pulled out several throwing knives from his waist and shot down the shurikens shot from the direction of Jianchuan Tachibana. Then he waved his scimitar and rushed directly towards Terumi Mei.

Fortunately, by this time, Terumi Mei's ninjutsu had been completed, and the water beneath her feet was violently turbulent. Dozens of water bullets rushed out of the water and shot at the enemy who was attacking her.

The water wave just now was not just used for attack. In this kind of waterlogged environment, both himself and Jianchuan Ju could better exert their combat effectiveness.

However, the fish ghost was completely unmoved. He swung his sword continuously to easily disperse the water bullets attacking him, and continued to rush towards Mei Terumi.

On the other side, Tachibana Jianchuan would naturally not just watch the enemy attack Mei Terumi.

More than a dozen small flying water shurikens were shot at the fish ghost's body in a covering manner.

However, the fish ghost did not look back, and based on the sound of the breaking wind, he jumped into the air with his toes touching the ground. In the air, he dodged all the attacks of the flying water shuriken in an extremely strange posture.

Fortunately, this round of attack also delayed some time, allowing Mei Terumi to create distance again.

"Is it not possible to use a blanket attack?"

Jianchuan Ju sighed silently in his heart, because he was worried that a single-shot flying water shuriken would not be able to hit the target. He originally thought that this covering attack could cause some damage to the enemy and reduce the opponent's combat power.

Who would have thought that in the end it only served to delay the process?

"These Taijutsu ninjas are really hard to deal with." In fact, Yugui also thought so. He thought that he could easily deal with the two Genin ghosts. Unexpectedly, they were so difficult to deal with. Now it is difficult to even get close to them.

Seeing that the other party did not continue to attack, Jianchuan and Ju took a break on the spot.

Due to his young age and the fact that his strength is still developing, ordinary shurikens lack both lethality and flying speed, and are barely enough to be used to restrain him.

However, if you use ninjutsu attacks frequently, even if there is a large area of ​​water around that can save chakra and cannot cause harm to the opponent, it is ultimately not a long-term solution.

While Jianchuan Ju was still thinking about countermeasures, the fish ghost on the opposite side had already launched another attack.

The target is still Mei Terumi.

The fish ghost leaned forward, gradually increasing in speed, before Mei Terumi could estimate the distance and prepare to counterattack.

The fish ghost actually threw the scimitar with one hand, letting it spin in front of him, and he quickly formed seals with his free hands. His cheeks puffed up and his head tilted back slightly.

After completing the seal, the fish ghost caught the scimitar again.

“Puff~” “Puff~” “Puff~”

Three wind bullets came out of his mouth one after another.

The enemy suddenly switched to long-range attack, catching Mei Terumi off guard.

Even though he tried his best to dodge in a hurry, he was still hit in the left leg by one of the wind bullets.

In just a moment, the leggings were torn into pieces, and several cuts were made on the white calves. Blood gushed out, which was a terrifying sight.

Seeing his teammates in danger, Jianchuan Ju didn't care about saving chakra and hurriedly used "Water Jet". A large amount of water burst out from his calves, pushing him to rush towards the back of the fish ghost at a very fast speed.

Mei Terumi was also enduring the pain in her legs and trying her best to distance herself from them.

But just as Jianchuan Ju was about to continue to form seals and perform a combo of 'Flying Water Shuriken', the 'danger foreknowledge' alarm in his mind suddenly became dozens of times more intense, and an unprecedented strong premonition stung his brain.

There is no time to hesitate.

Jianchuan Ju slightly raised his toes, tightened his calves, and tried his best to adjust the direction of the water jet to slow down his momentum.

The next moment, a scimitar flashing with a dazzling cold light broke out from the ground, passed through the not-so-thick water surface, and slashed straight towards him.

"when?!"

No one expected that the fish ghost actually had a hidden earth escape ninjutsu, and used his clone to feint an attack, thereby ambushing Jianchuan Ju who was anxious to rescue him.

Fortunately, there was a 'danger prediction' warning. Although Jianchuan Ju didn't have time to change the direction, he did slow down his sprint.

The fish ghost misjudged the timing of the attack, giving Jianchuan Ju a chance of survival.

He took out a kunai and held it in front of himself, pretending to block.

"when--"

The kunai and the scimitar collided with each other, but the crisp and pleasant sound of metal clashing did not mean that he had successfully blocked this fatal attack.

At the moment the two weapons collided, the pirate's scimitar actually cut off the kunai directly, and continued to slash towards Jianchuan Tachibana without stopping.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

The residual force of the water jetting under his feet caused Jianchuan Ju's body to be thrown backwards.

Jianchuan Ju, whose vision was a little blurry in the air, only then saw that a swaying and flickering blue-green chakra light had extended from the opponent's scimitar at some point in time.

“This old silver coin!”
