Naruto: I'm Really Not a Pokémon

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 take out all sorts of tools and study them carefully for a long time, and then give me some brilliant advice. Instead, he just sentenced the pair of swords to death.

Looking at the smooth cuts of the twin swords, Tachibana Kanagawa asked a question, somewhat puzzled.

"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.

Jianchuan Tachibana gave Shimotsuki Ichiro an apologetic smile, then stood up and opened the door.

Outside the door was Mei Terumi, who looked a little anxious.

"What happened?"

Seeing that Mei Terumi looked a little strange, Jianchuan Tachibana immediately became serious.

Mei Terumi glanced at Ichiro Shimotsuki standing beside her somewhat uncomfortably.

"Teacher Qing asked us to come over. There is something that needs to be notified."

"What about the mission to protect Mr. Shimotsuki?"

After all, he is the protection target of this actual mission, and it is not good to always leave the old man alone.

However, as a man of great age, Ichiro Shimotsuki could tell from Mei Terumi's expression that something important must have happened.

He said with a very cheerful smile.

"It's okay, you go ahead, Orange boy. What kind of danger could there be on the ship? I'll study this ninja tool here, and we'll talk when you come back."

"Thank you Mr. Shimotsuki for your understanding. Lanzai, you stay here to protect Mr. Shimotsuki's safety."

He first apologized to Ichiro Shimotsuki, and in the second half of the sentence, Jianchuan Ju made arrangements for Lan Zai.

"Quack~ (v)"

The combat power of Lanzai, who has just evolved, is not weak. On a passenger ship sailing like this, even if he encounters danger, there will be no problem in making some noise to delay the arrival of Jianchuan Ju and others.

The old man just smiled when he heard it and didn't take it too seriously. Instead, he waved to Lanzai to show his friendliness.

However, Jianchuan Ju's words when he walked out of the cabin still made old man Shimotsuki excited.

"Mr. Shimotsuki, I will consider the weapon forging. You can use this time to think about the forging direction."

After saying that, without caring about Ichiro Shimotsuki's excited expression, he closed the door and followed Mei Terumi who seemed a little anxious.

"What happened?"

"Come in first and then talk."

Since the team members bought tickets and boarded the ship together, their rooms were basically next to each other. It only took them a few steps to reach Qing's room.

The first thing Jianchuan Ju saw when he entered the room was not to look at Qing and Zabuza who were already seated, but to look at the two small coffins standing in the corner of the room.

"Two living people were sealed in ninja tools for so many days, and Qing teacher was able to sleep well."

Seeing that Mei Terumi had already brought Jianchuan Tachibana over, Qing did not explain the situation directly.

Instead, he habitually formed hand seals and released a perception ninjutsu to make sure that no one else was eavesdropping.

Then he looked at his three disciples and spoke.

"Just now, I received information from Ninjago of Yagura Karatachi. The Land of Water has officially declared war on the Land of Fire."

After saying this, Qing paused and looked at his disciples.

However, when Jianchuan Ju heard the news, his heartbeat just quickened slightly, and he didn't have any other special reaction.

When I first learned that the Third Ninja World War was about to begin, I was nervous and anxious for a long time.

However, the Hidden Mist Village has yet to officially intervene in the war, and has long since calmed down.

Hearing this news now, I felt like a rock had finally fallen from my chest.

Zabuza put his hands behind his head and spoke with an indifferent look on his face.
