Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 107 Explosion

The explosive tag was about to detonate.

Ai decisively abandoned the two, Jianchuan Ju and the other, who were still desperately trying to escape, and turned around to run madly towards the sealing scroll.

In the nick of time, Ai swiftly tore off the explosive tag and threw it outwards, then immediately protected the sealing scroll in his arms.

"Boom~~"

A huge explosion rang out, sending Ai flying.

After the smoke and dust cleared, Jianchuan Ju, who was still running away, looked back and saw that Ai, who had been blown away, had some charred marks and several burn marks on the left side of his body.

"Good heavens! Are they worried about the lightning armor damaging the scroll, so they're choosing to take the brunt of the explosion with their bare hands?"

Tachibana Kanagawa knew very well that if A maintained his "Lightning Release Chakra Mode", the explosive tags would not be able to harm him.

There is only one possibility: Ai chose to cancel the lightning armor himself because he was worried that the lightning around him would damage the seal scroll.

However, the opponent managed to withstand the explosive tags with his bare body and only suffered minor burns.

"That's a pervert!"

Jianchuan Ju dared not look back again and immediately formed a hand seal to unleash "Water Jet".

He then grabbed Qing by the collar and quickly traversed the dense forest with him.

At this moment, Qing didn't care about her image and let Jianchuan Ju carry her away.

It even very sensibly adjusted its body shape and used the technique of climbing a tree to firmly stick to the back of Jianchuan Ju.

At the same time, he didn't forget to remind Tachibana Kenkawa.

"Ju, look at the water stains on the ground! Running like this isn't going to work!"

"There's no other way! This is the fastest move I can make!"

What Jianchuan Ju said was true. Although "Swallow Return" also has an acceleration effect when used, it is even slightly faster than "Water Jet".

However, the acceleration of "Swallow Return" is more of a burst, which cannot be sustained and is not easy to adjust direction, making it unsuitable for escaping in such dense forests.

"Orange! We're here!"

Because Ao was being carried on Tachibana's back, she could clearly see Ai, whose body was crackling with lightning, rushing towards them again, and the distance between them was rapidly closing.

"Stop talking nonsense, use Water Release ninjutsu!"

At this moment, Jianchuan Ju didn't have time to care about respecting his elders and shouted directly.

It's important to know that the "Water Jet" technique currently being used by Tachibana Kanagawa still consumes his own chakra. Ao's use of water-style ninjutsu can not only hinder the opponent but also conserve his own chakra.

Qing immediately understood and quickly formed hand seals.

Water Release: Exploding Water Wave

A torrent of violent water gushed from the green mouth and surged toward Ai.

However, compared to the scale of Kisame Hoshigaki's previous use of this ninjutsu, it was far inferior.

If it were the ocean created by Kisame Hoshigaki's "Dam-Digging Water Wave," it might actually turn Ai from "running" into "swimming," and his speed would definitely decrease.

The water flow created by Qing was not hindering them much at all; on the contrary, it was directly broken through by the ferocious Ai, who continued to pursue the two.

Fortunately, the water flow also served to obstruct the view somewhat.

After breaking through the water's obstruction, Ai accelerated again and leaped into the air, pointing his fingers like a blade as he slashed at the two figures in front of him.

"Lightning-Induced Horizontal Dance"

However, after a loud shout, the two figures that were attacked were completely scattered into water droplets.

"Water clone?"

Having been toyed with like this by two Hidden Mist ninjas, A naturally wouldn't give up so easily, and quickly looked around.

Soon, they noticed something out of place on the west side.

Without thinking, Ai started the engine again and crashed headfirst into it.

The dense shrubs turned into a shower of feathers the moment the worm touched them.

It was a large, simulated curtain created by Tachibana Kenkawa using the "Feather Dance" technique to cover up his escape.

Unfortunately, the execution was too hasty and didn't buy much time.

Before they had gone far, Ai spotted the brat using that strange water flow to speed up his escape once again.

"Orange, behind."

After speaking, Qing formed a hand seal and unleashed several wind blades in succession.

However, the wind-attribute ninjutsu, which should have been able to counter Lightning Release, left no mark on A's body; the impact of the wind blade only slightly slowed down his pace.

Without needing Ao's reminder, Tachibana Kanagawa, with her "danger foresight," had already sensed the attack from behind. She nimbly changed direction and dodged the attack at the last second.

But having been caught up to such a close distance, even if he wanted to use his speed to shake off his opponent, he could only gaze longingly at them.

Jianchuan Ju gritted her teeth and turned directly to face Ai, who had raised her arm again.

The two were now very close, and Ai could clearly see the ferocious expression on the kid's face, as well as a hint of barely perceptible madness.

Jianchuan Ju quickly formed a hand seal with one hand, and with the other hand grabbed a handful of soldier's ration pills and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Go to hell!"

"Steam explosion!"

Two scorching hot clouds of steam formed beside Jianchuan Ju, constantly twisting, pulsating, expanding and growing larger.

In an instant, it erupted like a long-accumulated active volcano.

Two violent torrents of steam erupted and shot towards the dark-skinned figure in front of them.

The moment the torrent of steam came into contact with the Thunder Armor, a deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire mountain range.

"boom--"

Countless trees of varying heights were snapped in two by the shockwave of the explosion.

Large amounts of white water vapor, mixed with smoke and dust kicked up by the explosion, instantly spread throughout the dense forest.

Ai's figure was also blasted into the air by the sudden explosion, as if struck by a heavy hammer.

However, upon closer inspection, the powerful explosion still failed to destroy Lei Kai.

What truly propelled him into the air was the powerful thrust generated by the shockwave of the explosion.

However, the trickles of blood oozing from his ears and the corners of his mouth indicate that he was not entirely unharmed.

Meanwhile, Tachibana Kanagawa, in an attempt to use the force of the explosion to create distance, also failed to fully control the direction of the explosion and was blasted away by the shockwave.

After flying a long distance through the air, Jianchuan Ju was about to crash headfirst into the ancient tree below.

Fortunately, Qing, who had been carried on his back, did not directly experience the explosion and was still barely conscious.

After unleashing several consecutive "Gale Palm" attacks, the two finally managed to stop in front of the tree, preventing them from suffering further damage.

After landing smoothly, Qing hurriedly put down the tangerine tree that was still attached to her back.

At this moment, Jianchuan Ju had fallen into a coma. However, although she had many burns from the explosion and scratches from flying soil and rocks on her front, her breathing was steady and she did not seem to be in any immediate danger.

Qing used her limited medical knowledge to conduct a brief examination, but she still couldn't figure out Jianchuan Ju's current physical condition.

They had no choice but to take out some medicine to apply to the wound while carefully waking Jianchuan Ju from her unconsciousness.

"Ju, quickly check yourself out!"

Having just regained consciousness, Tachibana Kanakawa immediately felt weak and in pain all over her body. She was unable to sit up, let alone examine herself.

Jianchuan Ju only briefly assessed her own condition.

"Looks like the momentum was triggered? That's damn exciting!"

Then, Jianchuan Ju weakly spoke to Qing.

"Teacher Qing's Soldier's Rations."

Just as Ao was anxiously trying to help Tachibana Kanagawa, Ai, who had also been blown away by the explosion, stopped after violently crashing through several large trees.

Just as he was about to get up and chase after the two people he had seen in the air earlier,

Thick fog rose again from the woods where the smoke from the explosion had just dissipated.
