Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 140 Trouble

"Water Release!"

Without time to explain further, Tachibana Kanakawa quickly formed hand seals and unleashed "Water Chaos Waves".

It spat out a large stream of water, extinguishing several fireballs that were attacking it.

After the sizzling sound, the rising white smoke quickly dissipated.

Only then could Tachibana see that Hozuki Shingetsu and the other person opposite him had also used Water Release ninjutsu to neutralize the fireball.

"Thank goodness, I wasn't hit!"

Looking in the direction from which the attack came.

A female ninja wearing a Sand Village headband and clothes that seemed to be on backwards was arrogantly looking at the three of them with one hand on her hip.

"That kid from Kirigakure, he's pretty quick to dodge."

really.

"Scorching Release: Leaf Village!" Tachibana Kanagawa immediately became extremely vigilant.

The fiery red fireball that had just turned a corner was so obvious that Tachibana Kenkawa guessed the identity of the attacker the moment he was attacked.

However, when Tachibana Kenkawa was secretly observing from the cliff, she clearly did not see the other party.

"You're the guy who used flying ninjutsu before, right? You're such a tiny brat."

Yekura didn't seem surprised that the other party had recognized her.

Instead, they were more concerned about the flying ninjutsu that Tachibana Kenkawa had used earlier.

"Was I really too conspicuous? So many Misty Shadows down there actually went out of their way to climb up the cliff to cause me trouble!"

"I can fly by myself, so it's easy for me to escape, but with Crescent Moon and the other person in my party, there's no way we can get away."

Kanakawa Tachibana thought with some annoyance.

Every time I encounter an opponent who is much stronger than me, I don't even have a chance to get cocky!

"The infamous Blazing Release user, Pakura, isn't on the front lines fighting Konoha, but instead coming to make things difficult for nobody like us?"

"Heh, nobody. A young ANBU member who has mastered flying ninjutsu can hardly be considered nobody." Yekura laughed contemptuously.

"Such trivial tricks shouldn't even be of any interest to Lady Yekura, right? Besides, with Sunagakure's current strength, do you really intend to wage war against Kirigakure at the same time?"

While speaking, Tachibana Kanakawa frantically made hand gestures behind her back.

Prepare to try and delay the enemy first.

As long as Hozuki Shingetsu and the other guy escape, he can leave at any time.

However, something angered Yecang, causing her to lower herself and directly form hand seals as she charged towards Jianchuan Ju.

"Kid! It's not your place to point fingers at Sunagakure!"

"Damn! Are you crazy?"

Seeing the enemy launch a sudden attack without warning, Tachibana Kanagawa internally screamed in disbelief.

"This guy should be one of the top fighters in Sunagakure, doesn't he have any shame at all?"

Despite her inner complaints, Tachibana Kanagawa didn't hold back with her hands.

They were prepared the moment they discovered Yekura, keeping a close eye on her with dynamic vision at all times.

Seeing that the opponent was about to use the Scorching Release technique again, Tachibana Kenkawa, who knew how terrifying this ninjutsu was, decisively drew his divine spear.

The blade tip pressed down, aiming at Yekura's hands as they rapidly formed hand seals, intending to interrupt her movements.

A chilling white light shot out at lightning speed, ignoring the distance of more than ten meters, and pierced straight towards Ye Cang's chest.

However, to everyone's surprise, Yekura remained completely calm in the face of the sudden attack.

By pushing off with one foot and leaning back, he managed to dodge the sneak attack just before the divine spear was about to strike.

At the same time, the long leg, comparable to a shadow, kicked upwards, shattering the wind blade formed by the divine spear with a single blow.

It dissipated as specks of white light.

"Is this some kind of absurdity?!"

Jianchuan Ju never imagined that anyone would respond to the attack of the divine spear in this way.

This also caused the two wind cones that Tachibana Kenkawa spat at Yekura's side to block his movement during her divine spear attack to completely miss.

"Yakura's taijutsu is amazing! This...hmm? It's a shame she's not getting cupping done on her back."

Watching Yekura effortlessly deflect his attack from afar, Tachibana Kenkawa couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

As Yekura landed, several fireballs shot out from her hands.

Without giving Jianchuan Ju more time to think, she immediately gathered her mind and shouted.

"You two be careful! Touching this fireball will kill you. The only way to extinguish it is with water!"

Tachibana Kanagawa was mainly reminding Hozuki Shingetsu so that he wouldn't underestimate the Scorching Release: Fireball technique just because Hozuki Shingetsu is using Water Transformation.

The main ability of the Scorching Release technique is to evaporate the water in the human body. If Hozuki Shingetsu dared to take the hit head-on with his water-based technique, he might be evaporated on the spot.

Ye Cang sneered when he saw that the kid on the other side still had the mind to remind his teammates.

"Kid, you think you can handle me with this? How naive!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Cang waved her hands forward, and seven or eight fireballs flew towards the three of them following her movements.

However, that wasn't the end of it. Yecang pulled out two kunai from somewhere and charged forward with two fireballs spinning rapidly around her, ready to engage in close combat.

"Water Release: Water Gun Technique"

"Water Release: Flying Water Shuriken"

Tachibana Kanagawa and Shingetsu Hozuki simultaneously unleashed Water Release ninjutsu in an attempt to counter the oncoming fireball.

However, after the water bullets and sailor shuriken struck the fireball repeatedly, only a little white smoke appeared.

The fireball shrank slightly, but its momentum remained undiminished as it continued to hurtle towards the three.

"There's too little water!"

Both of them realized that what was needed now was not a powerful water-style ninjutsu, but rather a large flow of water to counteract the evaporation power of the scorching ninjutsu.

Unfortunately, it was too late to use ninjutsu again at this point.

The three of them quickly dodged and weaved, narrowly avoiding several fireballs.

However, the danger of the Scorching Fireball lies not only in its instantaneous death upon contact, but also in its flexibility to be repeatedly manipulated.

Furthermore, while Hozuki Shingetsu and the other two only needed to dodge fireball attacks, Kenkawa Tachibana himself had no idea where he had offended Yogura with his Scorching Release technique.

The opponent actually chose to go forward and engage in close combat with Jianchuan Ju.

Several fireballs swirled rapidly around Kanakawa Tachibana, while he also had to constantly parry Yekura's tricky kunai attacks.

If it weren't for the occasional "peck" that didn't require hand seals, which he used to restrain Yekura, Tachibana Kenkawa might have already been defeated.

Although Tachibana Kanagawa is still able to hold her own against Yekura for a few rounds thanks to her agility, she could be turned into a dried-up corpse at any moment if she doesn't come up with a solution soon.

"How could I possibly collapse here!"

Taking advantage of the brief gap after the fireballs clashed, Tachibana Kenkawa channeled chakra into his back and accelerated towards Yekura.

Meanwhile, Tamura Yuka, who was struggling to dodge fireballs in the distance, seized the opportunity and unleashed a non-lethal illusion at Yekura.

However, Tamura Yuka's genjutsu was clearly too rudimentary for a higher-ranking ninja like Pakura.

After a brief moment of distraction, Ye Cang regained his sharp gaze.

After regaining his senses, Yekura saw the brat from the Hidden Mist Village's Anbu gripping his short sword and suddenly accelerating towards him, but he showed no panic whatsoever.

With two kunai crossed, they effortlessly blocked Tachibana Kanakawa's charging slash.

"Small"

Just as Ye Cang was about to make a sarcastic remark, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"One-handed hand seal!"

Just wanted to give you an update. I've been writing a lot over the weekend, nearly 20,000 words. I can rest assured that I won't be missing any updates next week!

Last week, I was working and had a toothache, so sometimes I couldn't even write a single chapter in a day. It was really nerve-wracking.

Thanks again to myself for working hard to prepare drafts over the weekend.
