Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 110 Soldier Rations are a Good Thing

"Which of you three wants to transplant that white eye?"

Upon hearing Qing's words, the three children looked at their teacher with some surprise.

Although the Third Mizukage previously said that one Byakugan could be left for Team Ao to deal with, everyone implicitly assumed that Ao would use that Byakugan.

After all, as a Jonin captain and a sensory ninja, the Byakugan was the perfect fit for Ao.

Qing seemed to notice the disciples' surprise, shrugged, and said casually.

"I'm already a Jonin, so I don't necessarily need this Byakugan. Besides, I can't possibly complete this mission by myself alone."

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju and the other two exchanged glances.

Zabuza spoke first.

"I don't need it. I didn't contribute much to this mission."

Actually, among the three, Zabuza is probably the most suitable for this Byakugan. He has sensory talent and is good at close combat and the Hidden Mist Technique, making him a perfect fit.

However, since Zabuza has said so, no one else will insist.

Mei Terumi didn't hesitate much.

"Me too. This mission was mainly thanks to you two, Ao-sensei and Tachibana. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether we would have come back alive."

Both teammates declined, and now everyone's attention was focused on Jianchuan Ju.

But actually, Tachibana Kanagawa doesn't want any eye rolls either.

My eyes were perfectly fine, and now I have this "sharp gaze" that gives me a "youthful version of eye roll" effect, so there's absolutely no need to get a new pair of glasses that don't fit.

Besides, with the system's cheat code at his disposal, he didn't really look down on this ordinary eye roll.

"If I had the Tenseigan, maybe I'd consider it."

Kanakawa Tachibana simply refused outright.

"Teacher Qing, my fighting style isn't really suited to the Byakugan. You'll have to accept this opportunity yourself."

"Actually, Tachibana's Byakugan allows her to see through meridians, which is useful for medical ninjutsu."

Qing wanted to say something more, but Jianchuan Ju ignored her and ran into the Shuiying Building.

"Teacher Qing, I almost forgot, I haven't gone to collect the ninjutsu that the Mizukage promised me yet. You should go back first."

Watching Tachibana's departing figure with a wry smile, Ao murmured to herself.

"This guy acts like getting an eye roll transplant is a disservice to him."

However, Qing only said it lip service; he was still very grateful to his disciples for thinking of him.

Then he looked at the remaining Mei Terumi and Zabuza.

"Then let's call it a day. Go back and get some rest. Ju will make the arrangements for you all."

The three of them dispersed and went home.

Oh wait, Qing, the miserable head of the perception class, has to go to work at the perception class as soon as he returns from his mission.

The other two dispersed and went home to rest, but Jianchuan Ju, who ran into the Shuiying Building, was somewhat troubled.

The Third Mizukage promised to let him choose a ninjutsu, and the notification came very quickly.

As soon as Tachibana Kenkawa arrived at the Merit Center, he was taken to the ninjutsu storage room in the basement of the Mizukage Building.

Just as Jianchuan Ju had guessed, based on his meritorious performance this time, he didn't receive any S-rank ninjutsu or forbidden techniques at all.

Seeing that the highest level of ninjutsu was only A-rank, Tachibana Kanagawa was slightly disappointed.

Originally, I was thinking that if I had something good like the Water Mirror Technique or the Steam Explosion Technique, I wouldn't necessarily refuse to use any skills that I could get through the system's lottery system.

However, these ordinary ninjutsu are somewhat irrelevant now.

After a quick look around, it appears that most of the advanced ninjutsu in Kirigakure are Water Release techniques.

"Then let's choose the Great Waterfall Technique."

Tachibana Kanagawa returned the catalog to the ninja on duty and made the final decision.

Because this technique appeared relatively early in the game, its performance seems somewhat unworthy of its A-level learning difficulty.

However, it is actually a very versatile ninjutsu, which is quite remarkable in terms of both water creation and its destructive power and attack range.

The only drawback is that it doesn't have any special effects.

However, if Tachibana Kenkawa had this ninjutsu when fighting A, he might have been able to push him away with the powerful impact of the Great Waterfall Technique.

It wouldn't be so desperate that they would have to use a "steam explosion" to blast the two of them apart in order to have a chance to escape.

"Sigh, I don't have the Water Mirror Technique. Otherwise, I'd definitely make that bastard Aina try using his own weapon against him!"

After acquiring the new ninjutsu, Tachibana Kenkawa didn't rush home to learn it. Instead, he went to several pharmacies and took a large amount of materials to Kirigakure Hospital.

The specially made soldier's ration pills were very helpful in keeping me alive this time.

However, now that Tachibana Kanagawa has more and more skills that require a lot of chakra, the 'PP Supplement 1.0' ration pills from the early remakes are no longer enough.

Now, whenever I'm low on mana, all I can do is stuff it into my mouth.

Moreover, the number of replies is too low, and relying on quantity to compensate is not convenient to carry.

This time, Tachibana Kanakawa plans to consult Keiko Saigyouji to further upgrade the version of the soldier's ration pills.

"Aunt Huizi~ I've come to see you again."

Upon arriving at the hospital office, I discovered that Saigyouji Keiko was surprisingly not busy with work.

Jianchuan Ju immediately took advantage of her childhood to charm everyone.

This made Lanzi look a little disgusted and move away, jumping directly behind Saigyouji Keiko.

"Quack~(～￣▽￣)～"

Saigyouji Keiko casually patted Lanzi's head and looked at Jianchuan Tachibana with a smile.

"Did Tachibana just return from a mission? He's becoming more and more like a mature ninja."

"Hehe, I need Aunt Huizi's help with something."

Although she was used to acting like a child, she still felt a little embarrassed, so Jianchuan Ju quickly steered the conversation back on track.

"Previously, I made my own special soldier rations, but the funds were not sufficient, and the development hit a bottleneck."

"I've recently received a lot of commission from tasks and I'm thinking of continuing to develop it, so I'd like to ask Aunt Huizi to give me her opinion."

Keiko Saigyouji had always known about Tachibana Kenkawa's work on improving medicines, and would occasionally offer her some guidance.

However, Jianchuan Ju did indeed lack funds before, and had only been operating on a small scale.

Once a product with a decent price-performance ratio is produced, the research stops, and subsequent production is simply for daily consumption.

The fact that this matter has been brought up so formally this time clearly indicates that they are preparing to devote themselves fully to the research.

"Of course, no problem. But this is a formula that you developed step by step, so I can only offer some suggestions. Ultimately, it depends on you."

"However, research and development is no small expense, Ju, you should be mentally prepared."

"Don't worry, Aunt Huizi, I know what I'm doing."

Jianchuan Ju had naturally considered these things, unlike his previous "reproduction".

Although it's just an improvement at the moment, there's no clear finished product to refer to.

The bounty from this S-rank mission is fine for initial investment, but I'll need a lot of funds for future support.

The money-making channel that Jianchuan Ju has set its sights on may be worth a try.

Sigh, working overtime on my second day back at work... I'm not feeling well. These two chapters were written in a rush, some even on the subway.

Please forgive any typos or grammatical errors. I will check the comments and correct them after I wake up. Thank you all.
