Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 16 A Night Destined to Be Turbulent

Today is the last day of the limited-time lucky draw event.

After a month of hard work, Jianchuan Ju's gold coins increased from 1520 to 3875.

This is not just the gold coins earned from daily tasks.

In order to accumulate more gold coins to draw from the limited-time prize pool, Jianchuan Ju has been teasing cats and dogs, bullying children, and helping poor neighbors.

They used every means at their disposal, spending all their rest time triggering system achievements.

They even went to the village's mission hall to try and accept ninja missions, hoping to trigger a new way to earn gold coins.

Unfortunately, the number of regular missions in the village has decreased significantly recently, and most genin missions require a team to complete.

Without a squad, Jianchuan Ju couldn't keep an eye on the mission lobby 24/7 waiting for a suitable mission, and in the end, he had to give up regretfully.

The prize pool will disappear tomorrow when the event ends. Although I haven't saved up enough for my third 10-pull, I still have to start drawing prizes.

Having participated in the lottery many times, Jianchuan Ju is quite skilled at it.

After washing his hands and face and praying to the gods, he opened the system panel.

Although she had already accumulated 30 pulls to guarantee a spot in the Water attribute UP banner, Jianchuan Ju didn't hesitate any longer and directly selected the Survival UP banner.

"Let's start with 20 consecutive pulls!"

Two orbs of light inside the system panel rotated and vibrated at high speed before bursting open.

Dazzling streams of light scattered and flew out.

"Sigh, as expected, there's no gold."

Although I said that with my luck, it was inevitable that I wouldn't get a gold item without a guaranteed drop, I still had a little bit of hope.

Unfortunately, reality always fulfills your wishes when you least expect them.

"ε=(ο｀*)))Quack~"

Although they didn't understand why Tachibana was sighing, the little frog chimed in in agreement.

When Jianchuan Ju shook his head, perked up, and focused his gaze on the reward panel, a look of joy still appeared on his face.

prize:

【Trait*Danger Foresight】(Purple Item: Passive effect with no cost, allowing the trait holder to sense surrounding dangers in advance.)

[Move Learning Device: Mystic Guardian] (Purple item: A non-elemental secret technique. After performing the hand seals and releasing the technique, it grants the user immunity to most abnormal statuses. This effect continuously consumes Spirit Power.)

[Aura Belt] (Purple item: When equipped, even if you are fatally attacked, you will not die, but will only be seriously injured and unconscious. The item will go on cooldown after one use, with a cooldown time of 1 year.)

[Powerful Healing Medicine] (Blue item: Can be taken internally or used externally, greatly restoring the user's injuries.)

[Good Healing Medicine] *3 (Blue item: Can be taken internally or used externally, moderately restores the user's injuries.)

13 white items

As expected of the event prize pool, the three purple prizes all look pretty good.

First of all, the [Danger Foresight] passive skill is practically a god-tier passive skill comparable to a gold item. In many works, it is often the protagonist's life-saving tool. For Tachibana Kanagawa, who may be going to the battlefield later, it is a very useful trait.

Without saying a word, Jianchuan Ju integrated the special light orb into his body, preparing to find an opportunity to test the actual effect of this passive skill later.

Since the subsequent [Mysterious Guardian] was a secret technique scroll, after the knowledge was imparted, Tachibana Kenkawa immediately gained a general understanding of this secret technique.

It's a bit different from what I initially imagined; the immunity to most abnormal statuses mentioned in the item description isn't as invincible as it seems.

This secret technique is mainly designed to counter abnormal states caused by control-type ninjutsu, such as various genjutsu and the control effects of the Yamanaka clan's Mind Transfer Technique. It provides immunity during the duration of one's own secret technique.

Unlike in the Pokémon games, it doesn't grant immunity to any abnormal status, such as burns, frostbite, or poisoning.

Furthermore, as an active skill, the fact that it needs to be released in advance greatly reduces the value of this ninjutsu.

It can only be said that it is very useful in specific scenarios.

How do we describe the final "momentum zone"?

It looks ridiculously powerful, and it is indeed very powerful, but the conditions for its use are a bit too demanding.

It's not that the once-a-year immunity to death is too little, but rather that after saving one's life, this thing will cause one to fall into a state of severe injury and coma.

If someone is seriously wounded and falls into a coma on the battlefield, it's probably not much different from dying outright.

They survived, but not completely.

Even so, Tachibana Kenkawa immediately tied the [Aura Belt] to her arm without hesitation, since being alive was better than dying.

Kenkawa Tachibana even planned to install his Kirigakure insignia on it and weld it to his left arm, never to take it off again.

Although the last two prizes weren't as perfect as I'd imagined, I still felt it was worth the price of admission just for the "Danger Foresight" item from Tachibana Kenkawa.

As usual, I put away the blue and white items, and then picked out the usable ones to carry in my ninja tool bag.

Jianchuan Ju started to feel a little conflicted.

I currently have 675 gold coins left, enough for 4 more single draws. I'm a bit torn about whether to use them all on this event's prize pool.

Furthermore, although I've already drawn three purple items today, the only 'Move Learning Device' is still a scroll with no attribute.

I didn't draw any ninjutsu of other attributes. With the new permanent prize pool now open, it feels like something's missing.

"Lanzi, do you think I should continue with the lottery?"

Somewhat indecisive, Jianchuan Ju began to pitifully turn to Lanzi for help.

"(⊙_⊙)? Quack~"

Lanzi looked at the person who had asked him the question and shook his head in confusion.

Although Lanzi's shaking his head didn't mean he didn't want it, it did give Jianchuan Ju a way out, making him give up his idea of ​​taking a gamble.

After all, you have to do 11 days of daily tasks for four lottery draws.

If you use it in this event's prize pool, which ends tomorrow, you won't get a guaranteed purple item in a 10-pull, nor will you be able to accumulate enough pulls for a high pity rate for gold items.

If I were to draw four white prizes like firewood, rice, oil, and salt, my good mood from receiving three life-saving items today would probably completely vanish.

"I'll stick with the water-attribute prize pool."

Obtaining a gold-tier water-attribute reward first might significantly boost your combat power.

Having let go of her little obsession, Jianchuan Ju was finally able to fall asleep peacefully, feeling good about having won the prize.

Some people are destined to be unable to sleep tonight.

On a tiny island near Kirigakure Village.

It just so happens to be the island where Jianchuan Tachibana and other medical ninjas are undergoing closed training.

Some of the temporary buildings left over from that time are still in the center of the island.

Although there were many people on the island at that moment, no one intended to spend the night inside the building.

From noon today until now, more than a hundred ninja academy students on this small island have been fighting each other for their graduation exams.

Anyone who tries to rest in such a conspicuous building in the center of the island is destined to become the target of everyone's criticism.

Ironically, three months ago, a group of doctors and ninjas who were not acquainted before started helping and guiding each other in order to become medical ninjas.

Meanwhile, a group of boys, only around 10 years old, are trying to pass the test to become genin by killing at least one of their classmates of several years and seizing the token in the other's possession.

According to the original plan of the Ninja Academy, each student would receive a token and board the island, after which the ship would leave.

When the ship arrives again at noon on the second day, students with two tokens can board the ship and leave, officially becoming a genin of the Blood Mist Village.

However, on the island at this moment, one student seemed to disagree with the ninja academy's plan.

I looked at the night, which was getting deeper and deeper, almost completely dark.

Zabuza Momochi gripped his kunai tightly, preparing to take action.
