Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 147 Three Monks

A ferocious water dragon, wreathed in dazzling lightning, charged toward Yecang with bared fangs and claws.

On the other side, the newly appointed Hiramekarei wielded two swords and strode forward, intending to block Yekura's retreat.

Yekura knew that the combined ninjutsu unleashed by two elite Jonin was beyond her power to defeat.

He immediately clasped his hands together, gathering all the fireballs surrounding him in front of him, condensing them into a giant Scorching Fireball as tall as a person to block the roaring Lightning Water Dragon.

At the same moment, using the fireball to conceal his figure, he decisively turned and charged towards the still arrogant and laughing Hiramekarei.

This scene left Jianchuan Ju, who was secretly watching from the side, speechless.

"Impressive! As expected of an experienced expert, you quickly identified the weakest among the three."

That's right, after Jianchuan Ju disappeared into the fog, he didn't go far at all. Instead, he circled around and came back here to hide and observe in secret.

After all, Kirigakure currently has the advantage in numbers, so one more person won't make a difference in the task of wiping out Sunagakure.

However, such a duel between masters is not something that can be seen all the time, so Tachibana Kenkawa naturally chose the latter.

"This guy who uses flounder isn't as bad as I thought? He's actually putting up a good fight."

Tachibana Kanagawa was initially worried that this new Flounder user might end up like the unlucky guy Kisame Hoshigaki had mentioned, who would be drained dry by the Flounder.

Surprisingly, he wielded the dual swords quite skillfully, and even seemed to have a slight advantage over Yekura in close combat.

On the other hand, the enormous Scorching Fireball and Lightning Water Dragon Bullet canceled each other out, and the hissing sound of steam never stopped.

"It seems that while the Scorching Release fireball can be extinguished by Water Release ninjutsu, its strange effect of evaporating moisture also counters most Water Release ninjutsu."

Jianchuan Ju watched the battle with great interest, holding Lanzai in her arms, while also analyzing the situation in her mind.

Logically speaking, the combined power of Juzo Biwa and Raiga Kurosuki's "Lightning Water Dragon Bullet" should exceed that of the large fireball that Yokura hastily conjured.

However, since the water dragon was directly evaporated by the Scorching Release, the Lightning Release arc had no carrier and simply dissipated into the air, serving no purpose.

The two ninja swordsmen were not annoyed that the combined ninjutsu had no effect. Seeing that Hiramekarei had used close combat to hold off Yekura, they gripped their swords tightly and rushed over with excited expressions.

"Well done, you little rascal! I'm starting to like you!"

Pipa Juzo dragged his Executioner's Blade behind him, constantly accelerating and charging forward.

"Shut up! You eyebrowless monster! I'm not some nobody!!"

Ignoring the objections of the underlings, Hiramekarei Juzo charged toward the two men and swung his Executioner's Blade with all his might, seemingly intent on cleaving Hiramekarei and Yokura in two at the waist.

However, everyone present was a master of physical combat, so such an obvious attack was a bit too much of a blunder.

Yecang leaped into the air, bracing himself against the Executioner's Blade with one hand, easily dodging the attack.

Meanwhile, Hiramekarei, as his "comrade," also quickly leaned back to dodge, causing the slash to miss completely.

After standing up, the Flounder immediately brought its two swords together, and in an instant, a huge blade of light, far larger than the Executioner's Blade, appeared on the Flounder.

With a powerful split-hit attack, he encompassed both Yekura and Biwa Juzo within his attack range.

"Go to hell!"

It's unclear who this furious shout was directed at, but it certainly sounded incredibly powerful.

The two ninja swords were exchanging blows.

From the shadows, Tachibana Kanagawa glanced at the pitifully small short sword and spear in her hand and curled her lip in a sour expression.

"Hmph, what's so great about being big? Mine's even longer than theirs!"

On the other side, Raiga Kurosuki clearly didn't care about the size of the sword. Instead, he was very dissatisfied with his two colleagues' underhanded tactics.

"You two idiots! Stop wasting time!"

Black Hoe Raiya crouched down, and his two thunder blades plunged into the ground.

"Lightning Release: Exploding Lightning!"

With a loud shout from Raiga Kurosugi, a thin, azure-blue current surged forward, which at first glance did not resemble a powerful ninjutsu.

However, guided by this tiny bolt of lightning, with a loud crack, several bolts of lightning as thick as buckets struck down from nowhere, their target the three people locked in combat.

Yes, Raiga Kurosuki's way of preventing his comrades from killing each other is to kill them all.

Looking at the chaotic scene below, Tachibana Kanagawa wanted to cover her face with her hands, but instead she could only slap them against the mask of the Anbu.

The little frog squatting beside the jujube tree in the stream also covered its eyes with its hands.

As a Pokémon, it never imagined that fighting together with its companions could look like this.

"Is this village really relying on these guys to stay afloat? Maybe I should just defect too."

"Is Dr. Tachibana going to become a rogue ninja? That's not a good choice."

At some point, Kisame Hoshigaki, who must have defeated his opponent, appeared beside Tachibana Kenkawa through the mist.

They were clearly drawn here by this duel between masters.

Looking at Kisame Hoshigaki's mask, which was stained with specks of blood, Tachibana Kenkawa grinned and made a sarcastic remark.

"Don't just listen to half of what I say! Besides, you're the last person who has the right to say that, aren't you?"

Kisame Hoshigaki was also a little confused for a moment, wondering why Tachibana Kenkawa would say that, but he didn't continue the topic.

Instead, she squatted down next to Jianchuan Ju, and the two of them slacked off on the battlefield, intently watching the battle below.

However, the battles that followed became increasingly ugly.

Yekura should have been in grave danger, but because the three ninja swordsmen were sabotaging each other, there were signs that the situation might be turning around.

"Hey, Kotobuki, aren't you going to get involved? I remember you were the one who got injured by Yekura before, right? This is a great opportunity for revenge."

The sly, tangerine-like creature in the stream stirred up Kisame Hoshigaki.

Although Kisame is not yet the master of Samehada, the simultaneous use of four ninja swords in battle might trigger a bond bonus or something.

"It's just a mission, there's no need for revenge."

Kisame Hoshigaki remained completely unmoved by Tachibana Mizukawa's suggestion.

Even though Kisame believed that he was no longer the weak Chunin who could only run away in a sorry state, he still had no interest in participating in such a meaningless battle.

As the two were talking, although the battle in Yecang was still raging, the sounds of fighting in the mist were gradually decreasing, indicating that the battle was gradually coming to an end.

"It's about time to finish." Jianchuan Ju straightened up and patted off imaginary dust from his clothes.

It seems that reality always goes against our wishes.

A loud bang interrupted all the ongoing battles.

What followed was a slight tremor in the ground, causing everyone present to involuntarily feel a pang of fear.

However, due to the thick fog, none of the ninjas present knew what had happened.

Such doubts did not last long.

A clear, crisp male voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears, as if piercing through the thick fog.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"

As the sound faded, a howling wind swept past the two of them from behind, instantly engulfing the entire battlefield shrouded in the mist concealment technique.

This Hidden Mist Technique, which had been reinforced by countless Hidden Mist ninjas, was easily dispersed by the strong wind.
