Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 104 Unrivaled

"So, you noticed the scroll in Ao-sensei's hand, which is why you prioritized targeting Jonin Ken?"

Although her mind was still filled with fear and anger, Tachibana forced herself to regain some composure and start thinking about the current situation.

"Perhaps it's also because of their age; they didn't see us, who were obviously younger, as a threat."

"None of that matters anymore. Did the Fourth Raikage have any weaknesses in the original story?"

Kenkawa Ju's brain was working at lightning speed.

They were looking for ways to win, or even just a way to escape.

However, the opponent was A, who possessed the "Lightning Release Chakra Mode".

Within a small area, its speed is comparable to Minato Namikaze, who possesses the "Flying Thunder God Technique" for spatial displacement; its defense is strong enough to withstand attacks from tailed beasts; its strength is comparable to Tsunade; and its attack power almost shatters the defense of Susanoo.

This opponent, who can be described as a killing machine, has already firmly established himself at the Kage level, even though he is not at his peak yet.

"Illusions might be able to bypass the Thunder Armor's defenses, but currently, only Tamura on our side specializes in illusions. However, at that level, illusions are almost impossible to affect Ai, and he might even be instantly killed once exposed."

"Blue's round should be able to penetrate defenses, but the opponent's physical body is equally powerful."

"Damn it! Damn it! Why do I have to face an enemy like this?!"

No matter how she thought about it, a strong sense of powerlessness ultimately enveloped Tachibana Kanagawa. It was precisely because she had read the original work that she felt more desperate than others.

Just as Tachibana Kenkawa was thinking quickly.

Ai, who was getting impatient from not receiving a reply for a long time, finally spoke up in a fit of irritation.

"If you won't take it, I'll take it myself."

The first half of the sentence sounded relatively normal, but the second half had a broken and disjointed quality.

Gainai's figure had already started moving again, and violent lightning tore through the air as it charged towards Qing.

With her eyes fixed on the other person, Tachibana Kanagawa was able to barely make out Ai's movements thanks to the dynamic vision provided by her "sharp gaze".

As Ai ran at high speed, he clenched his left fist and made a claw with his right. He clearly intended to snatch the scroll directly.

"stop!"

With Qing's roar, Ai's figure froze instantly. After carving two deep furrows in the ground, he stopped with a grim expression.

It's not that Ai is just so obedient.

At this moment, Ao did not defend or counterattack at all. Instead, he gripped the kunai in his hand tightly and pressed it against the scroll that sealed the Hyuga corpse.

But before Qing could even open her mouth to discuss any conditions with the other party...

Seeing Ai suddenly stop beside him, Hozuki Shingetsu could no longer contain his anger and wanted to avenge his teacher.

"Go to hell!"

"The Art of the Magnificent Water Wrist!"

Hozuki Shingetsu leaped high into the air, his right arm bulging unnaturally with bulging muscles, before delivering a punch filled with hatred that slammed heavily into Ai's head.

However, Ai simply took the punch without dodging or avoiding it.

The result was nothing more than the shockwave from the collision of fist and head creating a gust of wind, and the ground cracking inch by inch beneath Ai's unmoving feet.

Ai turned her head and looked at Hozuki Shingetsu, who had an incredulous expression on his face.

"Kid, who do you think I am?!"

Accompanying Ai's words was a simple, unadorned hook punch.

The lightning on Ai's arm prevented Hozuki Shingetsu from fully liquefying, and he was sent flying the instant his fist made contact.

After crashing down a large number of trees, Hozuki Crescent exploded into a spray of water and landed on the ground, struggling to reform its human form.

Just as Ai was about to rush forward and finish off the little devil from the Hozuki clan,

Qing shouted out again.

"I told you to stop!"

Although Ai suppressed his rage and stopped, the opponent's unparalleled aura still intimidated everyone present.

Ai stared intently into Qing's eyes and slowly began to speak.

"Don't be so arrogant, you guys from Kirigakure."

Only then did Qing regain some initiative, but the kunai in his hand still showed no sign of leaving the scroll.

"You can have the reel, just let them leave first."

"Teacher Qing!"

"Ming! Shut up!"

Qing Li interrupted Terumi Mei's words with a shout, his gaze still fixed on Ai, waiting for her reply.

Ai also ignored the kid's sob story and coldly stared at Qing, who had a resolute expression.

"What makes you think you're qualified to negotiate with me?"

"That depends on whether you care more about the Byakugan's bloodline limit or their lives."

Ai paused for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"Okay, kids, you can get lost now."

Qing let out a long sigh, still not daring to make the slightest movement, and quickly gave the order.

"Ju, you take them and go first, I'll take care of things here."

"Yes, Teacher Qing, please be careful."

No sooner had Jianchuan Ju finished speaking than Ai appeared beside him in an instant and reached out to grab Jianchuan Ju's neck.

This time, Ai remained within the range of "danger prediction" perception, and Tachibana Kanagawa also kept her dynamic vision focused on the other party.

Surprisingly, he ducked and dodged the opponent's grab at the first moment, then rolled forward to dodge.

Just as Ai was about to grab Jianchuan Ju again, a stream of water finally arrived, wrapped around Jianchuan Ju's waist, and pulled him away from where he was.

Seeing that Tachibana was saved by Mei Terumi's water whip, Ai did not go forward to grab her again, as if nothing had happened.

However, everyone's emotions became tense again.

"What are you trying to do?!" Qing roared at Ai Bugan.

Ai first turned his gaze to Jianchuan Ju, who had just dodged his attack.

"Not bad, kid. Your name is Tachibana, right?"

Then the gaze returned to Qing.

"He stays too, but the others can leave."

Qing remained silent. He knew that the other person had seen through his little scheme.

Ao originally intended to destroy the scroll containing the Hyuga Byakugan after his disciples had left safely.

These reels are designed for confidentiality; if the reel is destroyed, the contents inside will also be damaged.

Even if I die here, I will not let the Byakugan fall into the hands of the Hidden Cloud Village.

However, if Jianchuan Ju stays, can he really bear to let his disciple sacrifice himself with her?

Just then, a voice entered Qing's ears.

"Okay, I'll stay and keep Teacher Qing company. Let the others go first. Do you have any additional conditions this time?"

Jianchuan Ju looked at Ai with icy eyes and spoke calmly.

When Ao asked her to leave, Tachibana Kanakawa should have been grateful that she had survived, but she felt no joy at all.

It was only when Ai asked him to stay and accompany Qing that he felt a sense of relief.

It was only then that Tachibana Kanakawa realized that she wasn't actually that afraid of death.

Although she wouldn't be as willing to sacrifice herself for the village as Qing, it didn't seem like there was anything to be afraid of if she were to risk her life for her teachers, teammates, or other people she was close to.

"Actually, I should have died before I transmigrated, right? I've lived this long after transmigrating, and in this interesting world no less. Thinking about it, I guess I've gotten a good deal."

I have something to do today, so only two chapters.

I'm so sorry.
