Naruto: I'm Really Not a Pokémon

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll trouble you to continue the investigation. We may need intelligence support."

The three little ones couldn't help but hold their foreheads when they saw Qing's increasingly serious leadership style.

However, Jianchuan Ju continued to speak.

"Teacher Qing, can I send Lanzai here? It will also make it easier to pass on information later."

Because they wanted to pretend to be samurai, it was not appropriate to carry summoning beasts, which were obviously symbols of ninjas.

Jianchuan Ju simply stopped the psychic technique and sent Lanzi back to the village.

Since Lanzai doesn't have a fixed home like 'Myobokusan' or 'Wet Bone Forest', every time he cancels the spiritual communication, Lanzai will return to the location of the 'spiritual communication scroll' given by the system.

As long as Jianchuanju lets Lanzai be summoned holding the 'Spiritual Scroll', it will be equivalent to changing the 'return point'.

After that, it will be much easier to communicate with the intelligence personnel here, and it can also reduce the risk of exposure of this intelligence station.

"Okay, this way it will be more convenient if there is anything you need to know later."

After seeing Qing agree, Jianchuan Ju bit his finger and summoned Lanzai.

Lan Zai, who had just been summoned by the spirit, was still holding an apple. Perhaps he felt the spirit, and he dropped the apple and entered an alert state the moment he landed.

"Quack! (σ｀д′)σ"

However, after looking around, he found that there was no fighting, and hurriedly picked up the apple on the ground with heartache and brushed off the dust.

Jianchuan Ju awkwardly took Lan Zai aside and whispered something in his ear.

Then he released the psychic spell again, and after a minute, he was able to summon Lanzai again.

This time, Lan Zai returned with a scroll in his arms that was almost the same size as himself.

Jianchuan Ju carefully took the scroll and handed it to Fujie.

"Please keep this spiritual scroll. I will contact you through the spiritual beast if I have any information later."

Fujie took the scroll solemnly and put it away carefully.

In fact, what Jianchuan Ju gave to the other party was not the real system spiritual scroll. Or it was not just a real spiritual scroll.

In fact, Lan Zai's psychic scroll is only a dozen centimeters in size, and when rolled up, it is almost as long as Jianchuan Ju's palm.

However, Jianchuan Ju later considered the need to change the 'return point', so he specially customized a larger scroll for disguise, and hid the real scroll in the metal shaft.

When he was in the front-line camp before, Jianchuan Ju also left this large scroll of more than 60 centimeters in his tent to facilitate the transmission of information.

After Konoha attacked the camp, the scroll in the tent was torn into pieces and only the metal shaft in the middle was left. This new scroll was remade by Jianchuan Ju some time ago.

"Okay, let's go. Let's go check out the small town first."

Chapter 99 Taking Action (Still three updates)

It wasn't long since the few of them left the town where the intelligence station was located.

Qing, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped with a serious expression.

"Someone is following us."

"Fifteen people, two jonin, three of them are the Kumogakure ninjas we met in the town just now."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped immediately, took a defensive stance, and waited for Qing's next order.

"Be alert and continue to move forward normally. See what the other party means. There may not be a fight."

"Yes" x7

Everyone immediately returned to their previous state and continued to move forward casually.

Before they had gone far, the Hidden Cloud Ninja accelerated and caught up with them. Fifteen ninjas surrounded the two teams in an instant.

"What does this mean, my friends in Kumogakure?"

Qing showed some wariness and asked preemptively.

A dark-skinned man who seemed to be the leader walked forward a few steps and looked at Qing who had spoken.

"State your identities and tell us the purpose of the Kingdom of Soup."

"Have you, the ninjas from Kumogakure, also begun to take charge of the security of the Land of Hot Springs?"

As he spoke, Qing put his hand on the hilt of the knife in a serious manner, as if he was ready to draw the sword at any time.

Although Jianchuan Ju and others knew that Qing's swordsmanship was not even as good as his direct kunai fighting.

However, the Hidden Cloud Ninja on the opposite side still leaned slightly and looked at Qing warily.

"You don't need to ask about this. I'll say it again, tell me your purpose!"

Qing showed hesitation and spoke after pondering for a while.

"We are subordinates of the general of the Iron Country. We have been ordered to come to the Hot Spring Country to deliver a letter to the Daimyo of the Hot Spring Country. We do not wish to come into conflict with your country."

"I see. Now go. Say hello to Lord Mifune for me."

The dark-skinned jonin forced a smile upon hearing that and waved to everyone, indicating that they could leave.

Just as he was about to turn around, the leaders of both sides shouted at the same time.

"Get started!" x2

A beam of white light instantly shot out from Jianchuan Ju's hand towards the head of the dark-skinned jonin on the opposite side.

It’s a pity that the other party was well prepared and had been on guard against Kirigakure’s actions.

Although he didn't expect the attack to be so insidious, he still managed to avoid the sneak attack by tilting his head, leaving only a slight scratch on his face.

The dark-skinned jonin was nearly hit in the head, and immediately started to sneer with hatred.

"Is that all you can do? The Iron Country is not so extravagant as to send two Jonins and six young Chunins to deliver the message."

Qing saw that the Hidden Cloud Ninja jonin opposite him was obviously ready to take action. He cursed "damn it" inwardly, but did not stop making hand seals.

The next moment, a large amount of water spurted out from Qing's mouth, directly surrounding the Kirigakure people, forming a solid water wall that blocked the attacks of all the Kumogakure ninjas.

Then the water wall collapsed, and everyone scattered, and Qing gave orders.

"Quick victory, no need to leave anyone alive."

Although leaving one or two people alive might help us find out the purpose of the Hidden Cloud Village's action.

But you have to know that there are more than 200 Kumogakure ninjas scattered throughout the southern part of Hot Spring Country. If they are held back by the enemy because of holding back, then it is estimated that none of them will survive.

However, when these words fell into the ears of the Hidden Cloud Ninja, they seemed to be looking down on them.

The dark-skinned jonin who was leading the group roared with a little anger.

"Capture them and leave a few alive!"

More than twenty ninjas present were fighting in an instant.

Jianchuan Ju kicked away a Kumogakure ninja who was trying to launch a sneak attack on him, and immediately bit his finger and slapped the ground.

"Blue boy!"

The psychic technique was performed, and the little frog jumped into the air from the smoke.

After hearing his master's call, he immediately opened his mouth in understanding.

"Quack! (｀0′)▓▓▓▓"

A large amount of gray smoke was exhaled from Lan Zai's mouth, instantly enveloping the three Cloud Village ninjas rushing towards him and obscuring their vision.

It was the 'Smoke Screen' that Lan Zai had mastered some time ago. The visual effect of this move was very similar to the 'Fire Style*Ashes Burn' used by Asuma in the future, but unfortunately it did not have the effect of igniting an explosion.

But it doesn’t matter!

Seeing the enemy shrouded in the "smoke screen", Jianchuan Ju quickly formed seals again.

"Water Style*Flying Water Shuriken"

Dozens of water shurikens quickly formed around Jianchuan Ju, and in the blink of an eye they all shot into the smoke.

"Ah!"x2

Two screams came from the smoke.

However, another Kumogakure ninja rushed out from the smoke, wielding a long sword that was flashing with electric light and slashing towards Jianchuan Ju.

Unfortunately, the Hidden Cloud Ninja only heard a clear low hum coming from behind him.

"Swallow Returns"

Jianchuan Ju quickly passed by the opponent and sheathed his sword. Only then did he hear a dull sound of falling to the ground from behind him.

Jianchuan Ju quickly dealt with three opponents and ignored Kizuna Shingetsu who was being stabbed to the ground by a Kumogakure ninja not far away and was unable to move due to the electric shock.

Instead, he activated his 'sharp eyes' and quickly scanned all the Hidden Cloud Ninjas, his gaze lingering for a moment on two enemies that were closer to him.

The weak deterrent effect of the "Sharp Eyes" caused the two Kumogakure ninjas to pause for a moment, leaving them injured.

However, this is not the main purpose of Jianchuan Orange.

With the help of his dynamic vision which had slowed down several times at this moment, Jianchuan Ju noticed a Hidden Cloud Ninja who was hiding aside with his eyes closed but kept throwing kunai and shurikens.
