Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 291: Take a Shot to Refresh Yourself

The night is slightly cooler.

Although it was still evening, the night always seemed to come earlier than in other places because of the fog that shrouded the Hidden Mist Village all year round.

Although he has lived here for more than two years, Jianchuan Ju occasionally feels uncomfortable with the damp and dark environment.

On the way home, Jianchuan Ju smiled and greeted the villagers who greeted him.

Lan Zai, on the other hand, was carrying large and small bags of fresh food, and followed Jian Chuan Ju with some concern.

After discussing with Elder Yuanshi and Qing how to deal with Danzo Shimura, he also made a brief arrangement of the preliminary preparations and personnel arrangements for the upcoming battle with Konoha.

They were busy the whole afternoon until the elder Yuanshi suggested, "Azuma Ao is going to seal the Three-Tails and become a Jinchūriki, so it's better to go back and rest early today." Only then were Jianchuan Ju able to "get off work" and go back together.

Jianchuan Ju knew that this might be his ordinary daily life after becoming the Mizukage in the future, and an inexplicable feeling of fatigue immediately surged into his heart.

But when he thought about the old man who had high expectations for him, who might have been doing the same job day after day for decades, and the promise he made after the other's death, Jianchuan Ju had to force himself to cheer up.

It was not until he returned home and closed the door that Jianchuan Ju recovered from his tense state.

Rubbing his cheeks which had a somewhat stiff smile, Jianchuan Ju dragged his heavy steps to the sofa and threw himself heavily into it.

Lanzai put down the package in his hand, walked to Jianchuanju, and looked at his master with some concern.

"Gua~(︵`)つ"

Hearing Lan Zai's call, Jianchuan Ju raised his head tiredly, forced a somewhat ugly smile on his face and said.

"I'm fine. Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

During the period after the death of the Third Mizukage, Jianchuan Tachibana's condition was actually not very good.

The mentality that had originally slowed down due to the improvement of strength was once again weighed down by the new pressure called "Hidden Mist Village".

In his two lifetimes, he had only been in charge of a few dozen people in the Second Squad of the Air Force, but now he is responsible for the entire Kirigakure Village.

And unlike on the battlefield, as long as you charge ahead and give your subordinates the belief that they will win, you can gain everyone's support.

As a candidate for the role, Jianchuan Ju has to take every aspect into consideration.

If it weren't for Qing's help these days, Jianchuan Ju didn't know if he could hold on.

Lanzai was also a little worried because he noticed Jianchuan Ju's recent condition.

He changed his previous routine of going to the "secret space" to "decorate" whenever he had time. Even if he couldn't help with the work, he always stayed by Jianchuan Ju's side.

Jianchuan Ju gently rubbed his eyebrows, then signaled to Lanzai that he was really fine, then turned over and sat up.

"No wonder Uzumaki Naruto will be so busy in the future."

Prince Naruto was in peacetime, with the Sixth Hokage, Kakashi Hatake, as his successor. He himself was a popular hero, yet he was so exhausted.

But then he thought that this was because he needed to fully prepare for the war and many things were temporarily put on hold. Jianchuan Ju suddenly felt even more desperate.

Jianchuan Ju now only hopes that Elder Yuanshi, an old senior who had assisted the third Mizukage, can share most of the pressure with him in the future.

It was a good thing that that bastard Danzo Shimura jumped out today and let Jianchuan Tachibana beat him up to vent a lot of his frustration, otherwise he might not even be able to maintain his gentle smile towards the villagers.

Looking at Lan Zai's back as he followed her to cook, who seemed a little worried about her, she slapped her cheeks hard and forced herself to cheer up.

"Never mind all that for now! Let's draw a prize first!" That's right, Jianchuan Ju's gold coins once again accumulated to 1600.

Considering that Qing still needs to familiarize himself with the power of the three tails, Jianchuan Ju is not going to save up the gold coins any more. He will just draw ten times in a row, so that he will have time to familiarize himself with the new ability later.

And because what he is going to face later is bound to be a big battle, Jianchuan Ju is going to draw from the 'Fire Attribute UP Pool' this time. After all, many fire skills are direct damage skills, which can be directly transformed into white escape techniques with the 'Flame White Mode', making them more suitable for fighting enemies on the battlefield.

But after all, it was just a ten-draw combo, so Jianchuan Ju didn't take it too seriously.

I casually opened the system panel and clicked on the lottery.

The purple light surged and turned into ten shooting stars.

'Well, it's just a guaranteed purple, nothing surprising.'

The ten prizes are arranged in order.

[Move Learning Tool: Fire Style * Regret Sword] (Purple item: Fire Style Ninjutsu, seals are formed to release Ninjutsu, condensing a sword-shaped attack composed of fire attribute chakra, causing a slash to the enemy. The caster can plunder part of the life energy from the enemy killed by the Regret Sword, restore their own physical strength and heal injuries.)
[Refreshing Soda] (Blue item: Delicious soda with bubbles. Drinking it can heal some minor injuries.)
White items x8
'Um, what kind of skill is this?'

Jianchuan Ju looked at the introduction of "Fire Style * Sword of Regret" on the system panel with some confusion.

"Why doesn't it feel like a fire escape technique at all?"

Originally, Jianchuan Ju was thinking of using a skill like "Jet Flame" or "Large Character Explosion", and using it with White Release to attack enemies on a large scale on the battlefield, to make up for the lower damage of "Fine Snow" and the excessive chakra consumption of "Absolute Zero", and to seek a middle value.

Unexpectedly, a slashing skill appeared.

However, when Jianchuan Ju saw the words "treat injuries" at the end, he suddenly understood something.

With a frown on his face, he took out the ninjutsu scroll from the system panel and began to receive knowledge infusion.

"Huh? I didn't expect it to be such a good skill."

After a deeper understanding, Jianchuan Ju knew that the slashing and fire damage caused by this "Sword of Regret" was secondary. After all, for most of the fragile ninjas in the ninja world, this kind of attack would kill them instantly if it hit their vital points.

But the later mentioned method of seizing the enemy's life energy seems to be a bit promising.

At least for Jianchuan Ju, who now has to rely on 'acupoint pressing' to exert his full strength, the effect of restoring physical strength by killing enemies can greatly increase his full-strength combat time.

What's more, compared to the 'Frozen Body' which can continuously restore physical strength in a low temperature state, if a large amount of physical strength is restored directly, Jianchuan Ju can even open one or two more 'Acupoint Pressing' to double the chakra bonus, directly making up for Jianchuan Ju's biggest shortcoming.

Although it may not be very effective in a one-on-one fight, but for the next big battle, Jianchuan Ju can just pick two people on the battlefield to chop them up, and he will be a hero again, and no longer a 'three-second real man'!

"What a pity. This move is different from the Fire Style Flame Blade. It is not an attachment skill, but a one-time damage skill. I don't know how effective it is in restoring physical strength."

Jianchuan Ju couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Of course, even so, Jianchuan Ju is still very satisfied with this skill.

But then Jianchuan Ju remembered that he had once mocked the future Zabuza.

When using a beheading sword on the battlefield, if the sword breaks, you have to distract yourself to kill the minions first to restore the broken sword.

As a result, I have now gone a step further.
When you run out of mana and stamina, you have to get rid of the enemy quickly and find the minions to chop and recover.
Jianchuan Ju covered his face speechlessly.

"A sin!"
