Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 125 Sneak Attack

Jianchuan Ju didn't expect that Lanzai would have mastered this skill so early.

And it looks quite effective.

"Well, at least I'll be better at doing housework now!"

Blue Boy, whose head was being rubbed by his owner, suddenly shivered for no reason.

She looked up at Jianchuan Ju with some confusion.

However, the little frog's gaze was avoided by the guilty-looking Tachibana Kanagawa.

"Let's eat! Let's eat!"

After a delicious breakfast, Jianchuan Ju took Lanzi to Training Ground No. 9, which they hadn't visited in a long time.

Entrance to the training ground.

Looking at the thick white fog that filled the room, and then at the rare clear weather outside, Tachibana Kanagawa was a little confused.

"Could it be that Mei and Zabuza are training in combat within the fog?"

Entering the training ground with doubts, but before she had taken more than a few steps, Jianchuan Ju was suddenly startled.

"Danger!"

Following the warning in her mind, Tachibana Kenkawa instinctively leaned back and dodged several incoming shuriken.

However, the enemy's attack did not end there. A blade of light, gleaming with a cold light, silently slashed towards Jianchuan Ju's waist.

Fortunately, Tachibana Kenkawa does not rely on sound perception to attack, and she also possesses the agility bestowed upon her by a "technical expert".

He pushed off the ground with his right foot and leaped into the air, dodging the sneak attack again with a somewhat strange side somersault.

Then, Jianchuan Ju adjusted his body by supporting himself with one hand, trying to see who was attacking him, but a familiar, crisp voice came from the other side.

"Lava Release: Melting Bullet Technique"

Alright, now there's no need to guess anymore; the identity of the person who ambushed you is pretty obvious.

Jianchuan Ju smiled helplessly.

"Okay, okay, is this how you play?"

The next moment, Jianchuan Ju stopped adjusting her body to dodge the attack.

Chakra converged towards the spine, and two streams of air, wrapped in wind-style chakra, shot out instantly.

Like two fiery turbojet engines, it propelled Jianchuan Ju horizontally at high speed.

This move not only allowed him to dodge Mei Terumi's sneak attack with Lava Release, but also instantly appeared in front of Zabuza, who had not yet disappeared back into the mist.

Without any hesitation, Tachibana Kenkawa delivered a standard Rider's Flying Kick to Zabuza's chest.

However, this powerful attack, which carried a jet of air, was ineffective.

Zabuza, who was kicked, burst into a splash of water with a "splat".

Without giving Tachibana Kenkawa another chance to change his tactics, Zabuza, who was using the water clone as cover, exploded and then emerged from a seemingly ordinary puddle of water, holding a short sword.

Tachibana Kanagawa clearly saw Zabuza's hand, which was gripping the short sword, gently pull it.

The steel wire tied to the handle immediately and rapidly retracted.

Unbeknownst to them, wire traps were being laid from all directions, binding Jianchuan Ju.

At the same time, two small, white hands emerged from underground and reached for their own ankles.

In this situation, Tachibana Kenkawa actually had many ways to break the deadlock, but he acted rashly and directly increased the amount of chakra he was gathering in his back.

The next instant.

A pair of turquoise chakra wings sprouted from behind Kanakawa Tachibana and quickly unfurled.

With a thought, Jianchuan Ju flapped her enormous wings.

The strong airflow quickly dispersed the surrounding thick fog.

Moreover, like an arrow released from a bow, the powerful lift generated by the flapping of its wings carried it into the sky.

The speed was so fast that even Mei Terumi and Zabuza didn't realize what was happening before their sneak attacks completely missed.

The awkward thing is that it wasn't just Mei Terumi and her companion who were caught off guard.

Even Tachibana Kanagawa himself didn't expect that activating the "Wings of Gale" at full power would generate such a large thrust.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Launched into the air, Tachibana Kanagawa flailed his limbs in vain, trying to adjust his flight direction by maintaining his balance.

However, even if Tachibana Kenkawa simply flapped his wings slightly, it would cause him to change direction rapidly and uncontrollably in the air, making it impossible for him to regain his balance.

With things having come to this, Tachibana Kanagawa had no choice but to decisively retract his chakra wings to prevent himself from recklessly accelerating and shooting directly to the ground.

"Blue Boy!"

After retracting her wings, Jianchuan Ju, having barely managed to regain her balance, immediately shouted for help.

Lan Zai, who had been watching his owner make a fool of himself the whole time, was speechless and facepalmed.

However, he didn't hesitate in his actions. After roughly estimating where Jianchuan Ju would land, he immediately used Lightning Flash to rush over.

"duang~"

The falling jujube from the sky hit the spring bed that Lanzi had made of lots of 'foam mousse' and bounced away again.

Finally, he landed heavily on his butt on the training ground.

"Ouch!"

Jianchuan Ju rubbed his buttocks and stood up, but the system notification in his mind made him feel that he wasn't so embarrassed after all.

[Ding! First flight completed, achievement unlocked: "Congratulations, you have surpassed some gods!"]

At this moment, Mei Terumi and Zabuza had also dispelled their Hidden Mist Technique and walked over, looking at Tachibana Kanagawa who had fallen from the sky with some shock.

Lanzi, however, ignored its owner and instead looked at the large life cot made of foam mousse with some heartache.

I wanted to grab it and put it back on my neck, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

"You, that was flying ninjutsu just now??"

Zabuza looked behind Tachibana Kanagawa in disbelief.

"Hey, Zabuza, you promised you wouldn't talk to him!"

Mei Terumi pouted and glared at Tachibana Kanagawa.

At this point, Tachibana Kanagawa realized that the two were probably a little upset because she had left without saying goodbye.

So he didn't pay attention to Mei Terumi's amusing glare and turned to talk to Zabuza.

"It is indeed the ability to fly, but I don't know if it counts as ninjutsu. Hehe, but I'm still a bit unskilled at it."

"Your ninjutsu is becoming more and more fantastical."

Zabuza said with a hint of envy in his voice.

When Tachibana Kanagawa first developed Water Release ninjutsu, there were some clues to follow.

Things like "flying water shuriken" and "water jet" are not impossible for ordinary people.

However, when he started practicing Wind Release ninjutsu, his teammates were truly amazed.

It was already incredible that they could create feathers using Wind Release before, but now they can even condense wings using Wind Release.

Is this really going to take us to the heavens?!

Tachibana Kanagawa was unaware of Zabuza's complex inner thoughts; otherwise, she would definitely have explained the skill "Wings of Return" to him.

In terms of both the principle and complexity of the skill, "Wings of Return to Heaven" can be considered the most complex ninjutsu that Tachibana Kanagawa has mastered so far.

Even with the systematic instruction he received, it took him a long time to barely understand it.

However, Tachibana Kanagawa still spoke modestly.

"Hehe, ninjas, there are plenty of even more bizarre ninjutsu."

"That's true."

Zabuza expressed his agreement.

Tachibana Kanagawa then looked at Mei Terumi, who seemed to want to come over and say hello but was forcibly suppressing herself.

Give her a way out.

"Alright, didn't you already ambush me? We're even now."

However, after saying that, Tachibana suddenly realized something.

He quickly turned his head and stared at Lan Zai.

The little frog was tiptoeing around, as if trying to hide itself inside the foam mousse.
