Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 141 Then I won't be polite.

At some point, Jianchuan Ju suddenly placed one hand in front of his chest and rapidly formed hand seals.

Yekura didn't have time to think about what this brat wanted to do. She raised her hands with all her might, trying to send Jianchuan Tachibana flying.

However, although Tachibana Kanagawa's strength was not as great as that of Yotsuya, who was still at the peak of her physical condition, she still managed to fight against Yotsuya's strength with all her might by using the wind-style thrust from her back.

Unfortunately, it is ultimately one hand against two hands, a young person against adults.

"Get out of here!"

With a loud shout, Ye Cang used all his strength to send Jianchuan Ju flying.

The next moment, Yecang threw out two kunai in his hand and reached out to grasp the air around Jianchuan Tachibana in mid-air.

The scorching fireballs from all directions converged on Tachibana Kanagawa.

"pity!"

While suspended in mid-air, Tachibana Kanagawa showed no fear as she watched the fireballs coming from all directions and the kunai aimed at her face.

He just sighed inwardly.

I'm almost there; in just a few more moments, I'll be able to complete the hand seals.

Still in mid-air, Tachibana Kanagawa stared coldly at Yekura, neither dodging nor avoiding the impending attack.

"Water Escape * Steam Explosion"

The next moment, a large amount of scorching hot water vapor rose from around Jianchuan Ju.

Before Yekura could even see what kind of ninjutsu this kid had used...

The large amount of water vapor that had completely surrounded Jianchuanju suddenly exploded violently.

Although the 'Steam Explosion' contains a large amount of high-temperature water, there is no need for water to counteract the scorching fireballs at this moment.

Whether it was fireballs or kunai attacks, they were all blown away by the violent explosion and disappeared without a trace.

"Boom—Boom—Boom—"

The continuous explosions echoed across the nameless cliff, and the violent explosions also caused soil and rocks to crumble and collapse throughout the canyon.

Countless large and small pebbles and clods of earth fell rapidly, crashing down on the heads of the two ninjas locked in fierce combat within the canyon.

For a moment, all the fighting ninjas had to stop fighting and dodge in a panic.

Above the canyon, Ye Cang, who had clearly distanced himself from Jianchuan Ju, was still pushed by the aftermath of the explosion and slid on the ground for several meters before he could barely keep his balance.

Looking at the large-scale collapse caused by the violent explosion, Ye Cang couldn't help but swallow hard in horror.

"What if I hadn't knocked that brat away at the last moment? What if that ninjutsu had detonated at close range?!"

An idea popped into Yekura's mind uncontrollably.

"I almost got taken down by a kid who's probably not even half my age?"

The scalding white mist that clung to the cliff slowly dissipated.

However, the three little ghosts had long disappeared.

"They actually chose to retreat? Perhaps that powerful ninjutsu has some drawbacks I'm unaware of?"

Yekura stood there muttering to herself, as if only in this way could she slightly soothe her somewhat frightened emotions.

If Tachibana Kanagawa, who was escaping with Shingetsu Hozuki in the distance, knew what Yokura was thinking, she would definitely grab him and explain.

The 'Steam Explosion' ninjutsu has no major drawbacks, except that it consumes a little more chakra.

This time, Tachibana Kanagawa didn't go all out, and unlike last time when she fought against Ai Kumogakure, she didn't intentionally injure herself to use the propulsion to escape.

In fact, he is fully capable of continuing to fight.

However, Tachibana knew that if Yekura hadn't underestimated him from the beginning, he might not have even had the chance to use the "Steam Explosion" to launch a sneak attack.

Not to mention, there are plenty of Sand Village ninjas lurking below the cliff, ready to pounce.

The longer the time drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Jianchuan Ju and his companions.

In the end, it is very likely that Tachibana Kenkawa will have no choice but to abandon Hozuki Shingetsu and escape alone.

If that's the case, then what was the point of Jianchuan Ju exposing himself to save the two people in the first place?

It would be better to take advantage of the commotion created by the "steam explosion" and escape with Hozuki Shingetsu.

After all, Tachibana Kenkawa's mission did not require him to carry out rescue or kill enemies.

"Over here!"

Jianchuan Ju waved to signal the two to follow.

For Tachibana Kanagawa, manned flight is still too difficult at present.

So he simply used the smoke from the 'steam explosion' to forcibly drag the two away from the cliff.

The three then hid in the dense forest and quickly ran away from the battlefield.

"You two, run eastward along the coastline. If you encounter any of Kirigakure's ANBU, give them my codename and explain the situation here."

"And what about you?" Hozuki Shingetsu immediately realized the implication in Kenkawa Tachibana's words.

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Kanagawa revealed a wicked smile, took out the ANBU mask from his pocket, and put it on his face once again.

"I might not be a match for them in a direct confrontation, but I can still manage to collect some interest from Sunagakure."

Hozuki Shingetsu and Tamura Yuka exchanged glances, then, as if they had thought of something, silently put on their respective Anbu masks.

Seeing this, Jianchuan Ju hesitated to speak.

Clearly, the two had realized that without their hindrance, Tachibana Kenkawa could come and go as she pleased with her flying ability.

However, Tachibana Kenkawa ultimately did not offer any words of comfort.

For the two ninjas, this might also become a source of motivation.

After thinking about it, Jianchuan Ju formed a seal and summoned Lanzai's spirit.

Seeing that Lanzi seemed somewhat wary and ready to engage in battle at any moment, Jianchuan Ju reached out and pressed its little head to soothe the little frog's emotions.

"Lanzi, you'll stick with them. If you run into Captain Fu, pass on any information you find!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Jianchuan Jue got a somewhat resentful look from the little frog.

"Alright~ Relax. There's no dangerous fighting on my end."

"Quack! (￣^￣)"

Lanzai yelled angrily at Jianchuanju, but still obediently followed Guideng Xinyue and headed east.

Watching Lanzi's departing figure, Jianchuan Ju sighed softly in her heart.

"Since I joined the Anbu, it seems like I've been fighting alongside Lanzi less and less."

However, now was not the time to dwell on these emotions. Jianchuan Ju put aside these feelings and turned to head towards the cliff where the battle had taken place.

A moment later.

"The village's secret agents are doing a pretty good job, aren't they?"

Kenkawa Tachibana secretly observed the Sand Village ninjas below who were cleaning up the battlefield.

At this moment, below the canyon, although the battle had ended, judging from the number of corpses and their attire, it was clear that a large number of Mist Shadow members had escaped the ambush.

Jianchuan Ju roughly counted the number.

The number of corpses on both sides, Sunagakure and Kirigakure, was even somewhat equal.

It's important to know that during the previous battle, the Hidden Mist's ANBU were fighting against enemies several times their number.

In this situation, not only can they successfully break through, but they can also maintain a kill ratio of 1:1.

I don't know whether to say that the Sand Village ninjas are too weak, or that the Kirigakure Anbu who were sent to carry out such a dangerous mission do have some strength.

What Jianchuan Ju didn't know was that these hidden members of the Mist were able to break through in such a short time thanks to the huge explosion that Jianchuan Ju had created earlier.

It was precisely because that deafening sound interrupted the fierce battle that the Hidden Mist ninjas had the opportunity to quickly extricate themselves.

Tachibana Kanagawa stared coldly at the Sand Village ninjas gathered below, muttering to himself.

"Since all my own people have run away, I won't stand on ceremony."
