Naruto: I'm Really Not a Pokémon

"I know."

As the oldest and most experienced of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Togusa Yaito solemnly accepted the task.

"The rest of you will stay at the camp with me, and be ready to deal with the Konoha army at any time. I want to see how long they can endure!"

"Yes!"xN

All the jonin present were excited, ready to do something big and make Konoha suffer.

The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost looked at the commanding look of Goji Yagura and was somewhat dissatisfied that he did not receive the mission. However, due to his current status, he could not say much here.

Among all the people present, only Qing had a strange expression. Perhaps it was because of his keen perception as a ninja, but Qing always felt that this did not seem to be the right decision.

However, as the person with the lowest seniority in the camp, Qing couldn't just rely on his intuition to refute the order of Kujiya Yagura. He could only secretly decide to let the ninjas of the perception class strengthen the defense of the camp in the near future.

Afterwards, all the jonin left to prepare for the next war.

Jianchuan Ju, who was still unaware of this, was sleeping soundly in the team tent at this time.

A few days ago, I went to the Fire Country to carry out a mission. Although I did not encounter any battles, I was still very nervous and cautious throughout the whole process, so I naturally did not get a good rest.

After returning to the camp yesterday, I first treated Qing, and then went to the training ground to practice ninjutsu without a moment's rest.

Since the team planned to reduce their practice to maintain their condition today, Jianchuan Ju took a rare opportunity to sleep in.

Lanzai, who had gotten up a long time ago, looked at his master sleeping soundly and felt a little playful.

He first hit Jianchuanju's hair a few times, and when he saw that Jianchuanju had no intention of waking up, he started grabbing Jianchuanju's cheeks and making faces.

"Lan Zai, stop making trouble~"

Jianchuan Ju whimpered softly, then turned over and continued to sleep.

Just as Lanzi took out a brush to prepare to give Jianchuan Ju a delicate makeup look, a magnetic voice came from outside the tent.

Is Dr. Jianchuan inside?

Lan Zai, feeling guilty, lost his grip on the brush and it flew into the air. Lan Zai nervously stretched out his two hands and waved them in the air, but he failed to catch the naughty brush.

"Bah~"

The brush touched Jianchuan Ju's forehead precisely as he opened his eyes and stood up, and drew a black ink mark along his eyebrows.

Reluctantly, he picked up the brush on his body and put it aside. He rubbed the head of the little guy who had become more and more lively recently for a few times, and then Jianchuan Ju quickly turned over and got up.

"Yes, Kisame, right? Wait for me for a moment."

Jianchuan Ju quickly changed his clothes and tidied himself up, but the ink marks on his forehead could not be completely wiped off for the time being. But he was afraid of being impolite to make Kisame wait too long, so he had to open the tent and walk out.

Sure enough, Hoshigaki Kisame noticed the ink mark on Jianchuan Tachibana's forehead at a glance and spoke with some surprise.

"Is Doctor Jianchuan researching new ninjutsu? It looks a bit like a sealing technique."

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju smiled awkwardly and immediately started talking nonsense.

"Yes! It is an advanced technique called Yin Seal, but it has not been fully developed yet."

"As expected of Dr. Jianchuan."

“Quack~Σ(°△°|||)”

As soon as Lanzai poked his little head out of the tent, he heard his master talking nonsense. He immediately grabbed Jianchuanju's trouser leg to stop him from talking nonsense.

Jianchuan Ju, who has always been thick-skinned, felt embarrassed to deceive an honest person, so he decisively changed the subject.

"Kisame, you must have something to ask me, right?"

When Hoshigaki Kisame heard the question from Jianchuan Tachibana, his expression immediately became serious.

"The front-line camp has issued a war mission, requiring us to break into the Land of Fire and destroy Konoha's front-line supply lines. I have been assigned to carry out this mission with your team."

"Departing today? But our team just returned to the camp yesterday to rest."

When Jianchuan Ju heard the mission, he immediately became completely sober, but he still subconsciously raised questions.

Hoshigaki Kisame didn't care too much about this and started to explain.

"It should be a large-scale operation. Many teams have already set out. I came here as soon as I received the mission."

"What about the number of people on our mission? Which jonin is in charge of leading the team?"

Jianchuan Ju still wanted to know more about the mission.

Hoshigaki Kisame did not hesitate and immediately took out the mission scroll and continued.

"The team is led by two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Kurari Hail and Biwa. I don't know the exact number of people. The order we received is that each team should act independently and disperse into the territory of the Land of Fire. Don't worry about others. Ensure that the action is covert and gather at the designated location in two days."

"How is this hidden??"

There was no problem with other commands, but Jianchuan Ju was a little confused when looking at the map in the mission scroll. Covert operation, and bypassing Konoha’s front-line camp to reach the rear supply line?

Small-scale confrontations on the coastline of the Land of Fire have never stopped recently. Although they are infiltrating in dispersed ways, they want to get behind Konoha, which really does not take Konoha's various perception families seriously.

I don’t know how many teams will finally reach the designated gathering point.

Unfortunately, since the order has been issued, Jianchuan Ju has no power to refuse.

There was no time to say goodbye to Teacher Qing.

He immediately called up Mei Terumi and Zabuza Momochi who were still resting, and prepared to set off.

Chapter 80 5V5 Team Battle

"Ju, do we really not need to go and help? Those guys are probably dead."

Listening to the sounds of fierce fighting coming from afar, Mei Terumi said she wanted to help, but her expression was very casual.

At this time, Jianchuanju's team was advancing carefully in a dense forest within the territory of the Land of Fire.

As for the sounds of fighting in the distance, they were the two teams of Kirigakure ninjas who had just been slaughtering the Fire Country villagers. They were now being blocked and surrounded by several teams of Konoha ninjas who had just arrived.

"Their mission is to attract attention." Hoshigaki Kisame, who was traveling with them, said coldly.

During the mission, Hoshigaki Kisame seemed to have completely changed his appearance, which was very different from his previous polite and gentle appearance in the camp.

This also made Mei Terumi and Zabuza, who were carrying out a mission together for the first time, feel a little uncomfortable.

"Kisame is right. We just need to do our own thing and don't need to pay attention to those people."

This was not the first time the team encountered ninja teams from Konoha and Kirigakure colliding near the border.

It was only after they entered the Fire Nation that they realized why the front-line command dared to tell them to "ignore it and stay hidden" this time.

This time, the number of teams sent by the Kirigakure front command to invade the Land of Fire was far beyond everyone's imagination, and most of the ninjas among them were trying to divert the attention of the Konoha ninjas through a series of actions such as wantonly destroying village facilities, intercepting and ambushing Konoha ninjas, etc.

As for teams like Jianchuan Ju who sneaked in quietly, if they hadn't been unlucky enough to be bumped into by Konoha's sensory ninjas, no one would have had time to pay attention to them.

Besides, Jianchuan Tachibana's team also has Zabuza, a part-time sensory ninja who is becoming more and more proficient in ground listening, who is responsible for clearing the way. No fighting has occurred since they entered the territory of the Land of Fire.

"Wait a minute, there are two teams of eight people approaching us from behind."

Zabuza, who happened to be using perception ninjutsu to investigate the battle in the village, immediately spoke up to remind everyone.

However, Zabuza's subsequent words made the three people relax a little.

"The direction they are heading doesn't seem to be facing us. They should be heading towards the village to provide support, but we're not sure which direction they are heading towards."

"Just happened to pass by us? Then stay hidden and ignore them."

Jianchuan Ju lowered his voice and said that at this moment, no matter which side the people were from, they didn't want to contact each other, so they simply walked deeper into the forest more carefully.

However, before they had walked far, Zabuza shouted a reminder again.

"Be careful! They're coming for us!"

Since the range of Zabuza's perception ninjutsu was much larger than Jianchuan Ju's "Danger Prediction", it was not until this time that Jianchuan Ju sensed the strong prompt.

"Left!" x2

Jianchuan Tachibana and Zabuza shouted at the same time.

Without saying a word, Mei Terumi formed a seal and cast the "Water Array Wall", spitting out water from her mouth, and quickly a water wall rose in the direction the two people pointed.

The next moment, a large number of thousands of stones and icicles hit the wall of the water array, splashing some water.

"Ice?"

The sharp-eyed Jianchuan Ju immediately noticed something was wrong.

Then the water wall dissipated, and eight ninjas wearing masks of the Kirigakure Assassination Force appeared in front of everyone.

"You've already used the Ice Release Ninjutsu, but you're still thinking of pretending to be an ANBU? Everyone from the Snow Clan!"

Jianchuan Ju looked across with a serious expression, but spoke sarcastically.

The woman who was the leader of the eight people no longer hid her feelings after hearing this. She reached out and slowly took off her mask. It was the leader of the Snow Clan who was seen at the training ground before.

Xueshan looked at Jianchuanju with a cold expression.

"Little devil, are you still so arrogant when you are about to die?"

"Tsk, just you?"

Jianchuan Ju still spoke arrogantly, but his left hand kept changing gestures behind his back, giving secret signals to his three teammates.
