Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 172 I'm such an idiot!

"Earth Release* Earth Current Wall" xN

"Triple Rashomon"

Dozens of earthen walls rose from the ground to block the surging water.

Right in the center, bearing the brunt of the impact, were three enormous doors carved with hideous demon faces.

The massive floodwaters seemed to crash into a dam. Despite repeated surges and impacts, they only managed to knock down the two gates in front before losing their power. They then weakly struck the third gate, causing the large number of sharks inside to explode into a series of white smoke.

After disbanding Rashomon, Orochimaru licked his lips, looked at the figure gradually disappearing into the forest on the water, and shook his head with a smile.

"Is this the flying brat mentioned in Minato's intelligence report? I didn't expect it to be someone I knew."

Orochimaru was quite interested in the kid that Tachibana Kenkawa could ignore him last time, but he didn't expect that it was the same ANBU kid that Minato encountered.

"This time, I won't let you get away."

After saying that, Orochimaru simply waved his hand casually.

Regardless of whether the other Konoha ninjas could or not, they chased after Tachibana and Kisame in the direction they had fled.

"Huff~ Huff~"

Kanakawa Ju landed atop a giant tree, leaning against the trunk and panting heavily.

Although they had temporarily halted the Konoha forces' pursuit by using a large-scale water-style ninjutsu released in conjunction with Kisame Hoshigaki.

But this only gave the two a little time to escape.

Moreover, the Hidden Mist Village members will have to face more than just the interception force led by Orochimaru.

Previously, the Konoha pursuit force had been lurking behind the group, and it was also scattered throughout this dense forest.

Unable to continue their escape towards the border of the Land of Fire, the group turned back and faced encirclement by ninjas from both sides, making escape virtually impossible.

Even Tachibana Kenkawa himself dared not rise into the air casually, otherwise he would inevitably become a prime target for the nearly one thousand Konoha ninjas in the dense forest.

Even if Tachibana Kanagawa and Kisame Hoshigaki act together and can deal with most of the Konoha ninja teams, as long as they cannot escape the encirclement drawn by this dense forest, they will only suffer a slow death in the end.

In their previous encounters, the two always chose to trade injury for life, quickly killing their opponents and then immediately leaving the spot.

To avoid being surrounded and killed by the Konoha ninja who came to provide support.

This also caused Tachibana Kanagawa, who frequently cast healing spells, to have her already limited chakra reserves nearly depleted.

He reached into his wallet but only found a small blue pill.

"Is it all gone?"

Since he had always taken pills to restore chakra after battles, he had been consuming 'Special Soldier Rations 1.0', but since these were inconvenient to carry, he had already finished them all.

The good news is that Jianchuan Ju hasn't taken any blue pills today, so the last one can basically be considered a mana-restoring pill with no side effects.

However, this small blue pill is only enough to restore less than 40% of Tachibana Kanakawa's chakra.

"Dr. Tachibana, are you alright?"

Seeing that Tachibana Kanagawa suddenly stopped in the tree, Kisame Hoshigaki quickly landed beside him and asked.

Looking at the other person's physical condition, which was only slightly out of breath, and then looking at his own pathetic state, barely able to keep going despite taking drugs the whole way, he realized that the other person was in poor health.

Jianchuan Ju couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"This piece of junk cheat ability, couldn't it at least give me a physique that increases chakra reserves? Even just a few more magical candies or PP boosters would be nice!"

Although she was still complaining in her mind, Tachibana Kenkawa still gave Kisame Hoshigaki a somewhat awkward smile.

"It's alright, but I'll have to rely on you a lot from now on. I don't have much chakra left."

Because he needed to frequently stuff handfuls of special military rations into his mouth, the ANBU mask that Tachibana Kanagawa quite liked had long since been lost somewhere.

Besides, at this point, I don't even know if I can save my life, so there's no need to care about the rules of the Dark Guard hiding their identities.

"Leave it to me!"

Kisame Hoshigaki gripped the flounder in his hand and said with a serious expression.

Just as Tachibana was about to eat a small blue pill to restore some of her chakra.

The next moment, he suddenly slapped himself on the forehead!

"I'm such an idiot!!"

After saying that, Tachibana Kenkawa ignored Kisame Hoshigaki's somewhat strange expression.

He casually smeared some blood on a small, untreated wound on his body.

Quickly form hand seals.

"Spiritual communication!"

"Bang!"

A puff of white smoke burst out.

The little frog, who was training its body by holding up a stone, was summoned by the spirit. It looked over with some confusion, and then immediately saw that Jianchuan Ju was covered in wounds.

Lanzi immediately dropped the stone in his hand and quickly came over.

"Quack! (╬￣Van￣)"

Jianchuan Ju didn't have time to explain further; every second she stayed in place increased the danger.

He could only assign tasks to the little frog at a rapid pace.

"Lanzi! After I dispel the psychic attack, you immediately go to the hospital, to my usual lab, and bring all the prepared medicines! Pack as many as you can, so I can psychic-call you again!"

"Do you understand?"

Seeing his master's miserable state, Lanzi knew the seriousness of the situation and immediately nodded solemnly.

「呱!o(-`д-)」

"Bang!"

The psychic spell is lifted, and Lan Zai returns.

Having overheard the conversation, Kisame Hoshigaki naturally understood what Tachibana Kenkawa was doing.

Kisame was also aware of those small blue pills and the special soldier rations, but the amount of recovery was insufficient for him, so he never took them again.

Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't understand why Tachibana Nagikawa only thought of summoning a summoning beast to help bring over supplies now.

Actually, Tachibana Kanakawa was also somewhat annoyed.

When it wasn't so dangerous at first, Jianchuan Ju thought that Lanzai was in a period of rapid improvement in strength recently.

He didn't want to interrupt the little frog's cultivation unless it was something important.

Later, when the situation became critical, Lan Zai, whose combat strength had been somewhat lacking during this period, came over and could help relieve some of the pressure, but it was too dangerous for him.

It's important to know that although summoned beasts can automatically dispel their summoning after taking a certain amount of damage, they are not invincible.

Manda is the best example!

Kanakawa Ju didn't want the little frog to be in any danger.

It wasn't until just now that a thought suddenly struck me, and I remembered to ask Lan Zai to help me get the medicine.

However, the training ground is not close to the Hidden Mist Hospital, so even though the little frog is a speed type, it will still take some time to get there.

Jianchuan Ju estimated the approximate time in her mind; it was impossible for the two of them to just hide here and wait for the next spiritual communication.

After thinking about it, I decided to take one of the small blue pills first, just in case.

Feeling the slight restoration of chakra within his body, Tachibana once again beckoned Kisame Hoshigaki to run towards the edge of the encirclement.

However, before the two could run very far...

That familiar hoarse voice rang in my ears once again.

"Found you~"
