Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 196 Stone Statue

Suddenly, a beam of white light shot out from the short sword and divine spear in Tachibana Kanagawa's hand, pointing directly at Akimichi Torifu's enormous eyeball.

Thanks to the increase in Tachibana Kanagawa's total chakra, and Shimotsuki Ichiro's successful research into the "Flying Gem" and its embedding into the hilt of Shinsho.

The range at which a sharpshooter can now launch a sneak attack has increased from just over ten meters to more than twenty meters.

Moreover, the wind blades are activated at a faster speed than before.

However, there hadn't been many opportunities to use it before, so it was subconsciously hidden by Tachibana Kanagawa.

This also meant that Akimichi Torifu, who was behind on intelligence, was unable to take any defensive measures in this regard.

The white blade of the divine spear pierced straight into his eyeball.

"ah!!!!"

A piercing scream echoed across the entire battlefield.

Even after suffering such a severe blow, Akimichi Torifu endured the stinging pain in his eyes and continued to pound on the aircraft carrier.

Upon seeing this, Tachibana Kenkawa immediately swung his arm holding the divine spear rapidly.

Finally, even someone as resolute as Akimichi Torifu could not overcome the body's physiological instincts.

The arm, which was being swung, subconsciously bent and contracted, and the huge palm brushed against the hull of the second ship and slapped onto the sea surface.

The powerful wind pressure and shock waves created layers of waves, pushing the huge ship dozens of meters away.

The second aircraft carrier was ultimately saved.

Watching the ship being pushed away by the waves, Akimichi Torifu knew clearly that he could no longer ignore the little brat in the air and continue to chase after the ship.

He could only cover his blind right eye and grit his teeth as he glared at the guy who had ruined his plans.

"Kid! You're asking for it!" The voice whistled through clenched teeth.

Determined to take down this brat first, Akimichi Torifu pulled out a small box containing three-colored dumplings from his pocket.

The box, which looked like a sesame seed compared to the size of the wind-multiplying technique of Akimichi Tori, appeared quite comical in the other person's hands.

However, before Akimichi Torifu could put the three-colored dumplings into his mouth, the Yamanaka clan members in the attack squad used a "mind-reading technique" on him.

The other person's words entered his mind rapidly.

"Lord Torifu! The reinforcements for the Kirigakure front are arriving soon. We need to withdraw according to plan!"

Upon hearing this, Akimichi Torifu, who was already preparing to unleash his full power and take down the brat on the other side, hesitated for the first time on the battlefield.

However, Tachibana Kanagawa, who couldn't hear the other person's "words" from the air, was terrified when she saw the three-colored dumplings in the other person's hand.

Without further ado, they immediately flapped their wings and charged towards their opponent.

When Akimichi Torifu saw the Hidden Mist Demon rushing towards him, he immediately composed himself.

With chakra surging in his hands, he unleashed the "Super Push Hand" once again.

This time, however, he didn't attack Jianchuan Ju; instead, he quickly clasped his hands together.

"boom--"

A thunderous sound exploded between Akimichi Torifu's hands.

The two "super push hands" clashed together at high speed, creating a terrifying hurricane.

Not only was Jianchuan Tachibana, who was closest to the attacking force, blown away uncontrollably, but even the members of the Air Force who were attacking the Konoha attackers near the third ship were also blown over by the violent hurricane.

In contrast, the Konoha ninjas who were prepared took advantage of this opening and abandoned their opponents, jumping into the sea.

"Are they trying to escape?"

Although Jianchuan Ju was being tossed about in the air by the strong wind, she was quick-witted enough to notice the enemy's movements.

Furthermore, thanks to the excellent body control afforded by the "skill master" title, they can quickly regain their balance.

As his gaze fell upon Akimichi Torifu, whose figure was rapidly shrinking, Tachibana Kenkawa's pupils constricted.

"Chance!"

Akimichi Torifu, who was about to shrink and retreat after deactivating the "Super Expansion Technique", did not notice that Kenkawa Tachibana in the air had regained her balance.

Because the location where Kenkawa Tachibana is at this moment is to the right of Akimichi Torifu.

Having just lost sight in his right eye, he did not immediately adapt to the reduced field of vision.

Jianchuan Ju swiftly pressed her right thumb onto an acupoint on her chest.

In an instant, an unprecedented surge of chakra coursed through his entire body.

"The total amount has more than doubled!"

Tachibana Kanagawa, who had thought that doubling the remaining chakra in his body would be good enough, was overjoyed.

Staying within the blind spot of Akimichi Takefusa's vision, his hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals, even creating countless afterimages.

"Whoosh~"

Once the last seal is complete, Jianchuan Ju places his thumbs and middle fingers together, creating a diamond-shaped gap between his palms.

This diamond-shaped gap perfectly frames the distant Akimichi wind-taking area.

A slight smile curved the corners of Jianchuan Ju's lips, but her tone remained unusually indifferent.

"Wind Release: Wings of Return to Heaven!"

The next moment, time seemed to stand still, and space seemed to lose its color.

Only a dazzling green beam of light remained on the entire battlefield, shooting straight toward Akimichi Torifu in the distance.

Having experienced countless battles, Akimichi Torifu finally became wary at the last moment, subconsciously extending his right hand to use the "Local Expansion Technique" to block to his side.

However, it was too late!

A massive amount of wind-attribute particles, like a torrent, crashed into Akimichi Torifu's outstretched right hand.

It seemed that no harm had been caused, but Akimichi Torifu's thoughts were accelerated countless times at this moment, and he could clearly feel his life force rapidly draining away from his palm.

Until, the right hand, which should have been performing the "local multiplication technique", suddenly stopped growing, and grayish-white marks rapidly spread from the palm to the back of the hand.

Akimichi Torifu realized something.

"Petrified?"

As petrification gradually spread throughout Akimichi Torifu's body, the consciousness of this ninja, who had been active since the First Shinobi World War, completely dissipated.

The green beam of light gradually dissipated and turned into specks of light, and the world regained its color.

In Akimichi Torifu's consciousness before his death, everything seemed to have been so long.

However, to onlookers, the dazzling green beam of light only lasted for a short while.

After the pillar of light dissipated, Akimichi Torifu, who had been running rapidly on the sea surface, transformed into a strange stone statue with a huge right hand and quickly sank into the sea.

"Phew~"

Jianchuan Ju breathed a sigh of relief and quickly deactivated the chakra boost brought by the 'pressure point' technique.

A feeling of weakness instantly enveloped my entire body.

It had only been less than a minute since the acupressure was activated.

I don't know if the skill's side effects are just that strong, or if doubling chakra is an instantaneous boost, which results in huge consumption.

"Your body is still too weak!"

After killing the enemy general, Tachibana Kenkawa did not order the pursuit of the others, but instead rushed directly to the sea where the Akimichi Torifu statue had sunk.

However, before leaving, he did not forget to make arrangements for the rest of the Misty Village.

"Everyone, return to the second ship and be on alert. Be careful, Konoha may have a backup plan."

"All maintenance personnel, grab your tools and do your best to repair Ship No. 3, at least don't let this behemoth sink like this."

"Yes!" xN

"Understood!"

After saying that, Jianchuan Ju ignored the others and quickly dived into the sea.

"I don't know how deep this sea is; I'm afraid I might sink and never be found again."
