Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 52: Ninja Tools? Ninja Swords? (Third update! Please subscribe!)

That afternoon, several people returned to the Artisan Village, picked up Ichiro Shimotsuki and set off back to the Hidden Mist Village.

As for the colorful bird and the turtle.

It just so happened that in order to kidnap the Konoha ninjas, they prepared more than one of those coffin-like ninja tools, which were just right for their own use.

In fact, there are scrolls in the ninja world that can seal or teleport living people. They are even sold in the artisan ninja village.

However, these scrolls are too expensive, and Qing naturally would not spend the money on prisoners.

Fortunately, ninjas wear all kinds of costumes when they go out on missions, not to mention that the Artisan Ninja Village also has all kinds of strange and bizarre ninja tools.

Therefore, the group was not stopped at the port and unable to board the ship just because they were carrying two coffins.

The return trip was unexpectedly peaceful without any further incidents.

Except for the first day on board, Qing gathered the three members of his team and analyzed and taught them about the previous battle between Jianchuan Ju and Zabuza and Caique.

As a senior ninja, Qing also gave the two some different fighting ideas, and most importantly, he promised to teach them some practical ninjutsu.

In fact, according to ordinary ninja teams, the captain does not have any obligation to teach.

Team members are just subordinates to the captain, and it is very kind of the captain to teach them some ninja experience. Some even use the Genin team members as tools and cannon fodder to help them complete their tasks better.

However, after spending some time together, Qing has already recognized Jianchuan Tachibana and Zabuza, the two talented young men who joined his team later.

He had long regarded the two of them as disciples like Mei Terumi, so naturally he would not be stingy in teaching them some ninjutsu.

However, after all, everyone is still on the ship sailing on the sea, so there is no rush to start teaching now.

After that, Jianchuan Ju stayed in the cabin studying the newly evolved Lanzai and the trophy "Peacock Flying Twin Swords" obtained from defeating Caique before.

Yes, this extremely powerful pair of double sword ninja tools finally remained in the hands of Jianchuan Tachibana.

The village generally doesn't care too much about the spoils captured by ninjas when they are out on missions, as long as they are not things with certain political significance like the Sword of Thunder God or the Seven Ninja Swords.

Caijaku was defeated by Jianchuan Ju and Zabuza together, so the spoils were naturally divided between the two of them.

However, Zabuza said very proudly that he was able to defeat Ayajashi mainly because of Jianchuan Tachibana's unexpected use of steel wire against the enemy, and the pair of swords had been broken into two pieces. Zabuza looked down on such scraps of metal.

So regardless of the fact that Jianchuan Ju was not proficient in swordsmanship, he firmly refused to participate in the distribution of the spoils.

In the end, Jianchuan Ju didn't want to be too pretentious and honestly accepted the broken ninja tool.

It's just that Jianchuan Ju gave Zabuza the roll of ninja tool steel wire that the two of them had used before, and reminded Zabuza again not to think about his **beheading sword anymore. Wouldn't it be better for him to practice with the steel wire and seize Needles in the future?

The other ninja tool, the 'Black Turtle Fire Sword', was naturally collected as Qing's trophy. As for how to deal with it, it had nothing to do with Jianchuan Ju.

Today it is Jianchuan Tachibana's turn to protect Ichiro Shimotsuki. After all, old man Shimotsuki is an expert in ninja tool forging in the Hidden Mist Village.

After thinking for a long time, Jianchuan Ju decided to ask the other party for help on how to deal with the damaged pair of swords.

Inside the cabin, Jianchuan Ju's room.

"Can't fix it."

Shimotsuki Ichiro, who had been holding the "Flying Peacock Twin Swords" and observing them for a long time, suddenly uttered these words.

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju staggered and almost sprained his waist.

I thought the old man would come up with some brilliant advice after taking out various tools and studying them carefully for a long time, but he ended up sentencing the pair of swords to death. Looking at the smooth broken ends of the two swords, Jianchuan Ju asked in confusion.

"Mr. Shimotsuki, do you think this weapon is too badly damaged?"

Faced with the doubts, Ichiro Shimotsuki immediately puffed out his beard and glared.

"What do you know, kid? This thing is more of a magical tool than a weapon. It just happens to look like a sword."

"Magical weapon?"

"That's right. You can call it a ninja tool or a magic weapon. According to what you said, this pair of swords can allow the user to control the storm, and..." Old Man Shimotsuki flicked the sword again. "When this ninja tool was first made, the strength was not considered. It is obviously not suitable for chopping and colliding, so it was cut off so easily."

Jianchuan Ju was a little confused.

"Um so, what does this have to do with being unrepairable?"

Ichiro Shimotsuki simply rolled his eyes at him.

"Have you heard of the ninja tools of the Six Paths Sage? The method of making the tools has long been lost, and what remains are just poor imitations. I am a blacksmith, and I cannot make tools, so naturally I cannot repair them."

"I"

Jianchuan Ju forced himself to hold back what he was about to say.

"Then this magic weapon is useless, right?"

"Not really. Although I don't understand the structure of the magic weapon, at least the materials of these two swords are very precious."

Old man Shimotsuki looked at Jianchuan Ju hopefully, waiting for him to continue the conversation.

However, Jianchuan Ju didn't say anything, and looked like he could tell you to say whatever you want. Shimotsuki Ichiro had to hide his embarrassment and continue talking.

"Ahem, if you need it, I can help you make it into a good sword. But I'll keep half of the materials."

After saying that, Ichiro Shimotsuki glanced at Jianchuanju, but seeing that Jianchuanju was completely indifferent, the old man became a little anxious.

"Give me at least one third!"

In fact, what Jianchuan Ju cared about was not the issue of reward, but the fact that Jianchuan Ju's own fighting style did not involve much use of melee weapons.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Jianchuan Ju can't use a sword. After all, due to the ninja characteristics of the Hidden Mist Village, the ninja school teaches some basic swordsmanship.

However, Jianchuan Ju still positions himself as a ninjutsu ninja, or even a medical ninja. The use of weapons actually affects his ability to form hand seals and release ninjutsu.

Normally, when you really need close combat, a kunai is barely enough. When you need to cast a hand seal, just throw the kunai out to interfere with the enemy, and you won’t feel bad if it is thrown away.

Previously, he wanted to repair the pair of swords because of their ability to blow away enemies, which was almost like the beggar version of Shinra Tensei. As for reforging them into swords, Jianchuan Ju was a little hesitant.

Ichiro Shimotsuki seemed to see what Jianchuan Tachibana was thinking and began to persuade him.

"Don't think that the magic tool seems very powerful. I have lived for so many years. I have seen many ninjas who were complacent because they got a powerful or strange ninja tool. In the end, these people basically indulged in it and their strength stagnated."

"But ninja swords are different. Excellent ninja swords will better display your strength as their masters grow."

Just when Jianchuan Ju was moved by what old man Shimotsuki said and was about to agree to the other party.

Suddenly there was a hurried knock on the door outside the room.
