Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 2 I transmigrated and have a system.

After finishing a day of classes and training, Jianchuan Ju dragged his tired body back home.

It wasn't until she sat in the entryway and looked at herself in the mirror, appearing only eight or nine years old, that Tachibana Kanakawa stopped wearing her fake smile.

Ju let out a long, helpless sigh.

Imitating other people's lives is such a tiring thing.

"Lanzi, go and put away the ninja tools first. I'll come and prepare dinner in a bit."

"Hey (。_。) Quack~"

The little frog looked at Jianchuan Ju with slight worry, and gently patted the boy's leg with its little hand.

Finally, he picked up his ninja tool bag and hopped towards the tool room.

Kanakawa Tachibana looked at herself in the mirror and fell into deep thought.

In fact, some more perceptive students and teachers have already noticed the recent changes in Tachibana Kanagawa, but fortunately most people in Kirigakure are rather indifferent and don't care too much about what happens to others.

It doesn't matter what Jianchuan Ju was originally called.

Actually, he wasn't a native of this world; just a month ago, he was just an ordinary person working a nine-to-five job.

Feeling that he might be having bad luck after narrowly escaping being hit by a large truck twice, he took a long leave of absence to rest at home for a while.

However, when she woke up, she found herself transported to the ninja world and transformed into a 9-year-old war orphan from Kirigakure.

Fortunately, after transmigrating, I inherited all of the original owner's memories.

As someone who's somewhat into anime, I'd say I know Naruto in great detail, but I've at least watched the entire story and have a general understanding of how it unfolds.

Jianchuan Ju naturally knew clearly what kind of place the ninja world was.

Since the end of the Warring States period, the ninja world has been established with the ninja village system, originally intended for peaceful development and mutual restraint.

However, the actual situation has not changed much. The Ninja World War breaks out every ten years or so, and local conflicts and ninja killings caused by missions have never stopped.

Not to mention there are a few individuals who are powerful in combat but not so smart, who want to exterminate their clans, slaughter their villages, and destroy the world.

Even Konoha Village, where the original protagonist Naruto Uzumaki lived, was not peaceful.

They claimed they established the village so that children wouldn't have to go to war, but during each war, many teenagers and even children as young as a few years old were sent to the front lines to fight.

However, Tachibana Kanagawa was actually in a worse situation; at least Konoha Village still had a semblance of peace and unity.

Kirigakure, on the other hand, was too lazy to even engage in such hypocrisy, and the implementation of the Blood Mist policy made the atmosphere of the entire village increasingly cruel and cold-blooded.

However, all of this is still only a potential danger.

Currently, the most pressing and impactful event for Tachibana Kanagawa is the Ninja Academy graduation exam.

All students at the Hidden Mist Village Ninja Academy who want to become official ninjas must kill a fellow student in their graduation exam, a brutal test with a mortality rate of at least 50%.

The graduation exams for Tachibana Kenkawa's class are in four months.

Moreover, as a transmigrator who knows the plot, Tachibana Kanagawa is under much more pressure than ordinary students.

Because he inherited the original owner's memories after transmigrating, the first thing he discovered was that he had a classmate named Momochi Zabuza.

Tachibana Kanagawa knew perfectly well that this guy, in the original Naruto manga, had killed all the students who participated in the ninja academy entrance exam when he graduated, forcing Kirigakure to cancel this cruel exam.

In other words, if Tachibana Kenkawa cannot defeat Zabuza Momochi, his pass rate in this test is 0%.

As an ordinary person who transmigrated from a peaceful world, Tachibana Kanakawa just wants to live a peaceful and carefree life.

He should at least live until the Boruto era.

At least by then the ninja world will have technologies like game consoles and the internet, so I can comfortably be a couch potato.

Fortunately, there's always a way out. As an ordinary transmigrator, Tachibana Kanagawa transmigrates with a cheat code called the "Omnipotent Pokémon Lottery System".

"I still can't look at this system name the same way."

Jianchuan Ju covered her face and sighed.

Having been in this world for over a month, Jianchuan Ju has already grasped the basic functions of the system.

The system currently has three sections: [Lottery], [Tasks], and [Achievements].

You can earn coins through tasks and achievements, but it's a bit of a shame that these coins don't have a physical form; they can only be used to participate in lotteries within the system, and there isn't even a system shop.

Currently, there is only one type of task in the task bar: daily tasks. Regardless of whether you complete or claim the task, four tasks will be refreshed at 0:00 every day. Each task costs 10 gold coins, and you can receive an extra 20 gold coins if you complete all of them.

After completing the tasks for more than a month, Jianchuan Ju knew that the daily tasks were very simple, such as "throwing kunai 200 times", "answering a class question once", and "helping the widow next door buy soy sauce".

So recently, Jianchuan Ju's classmates often see him practicing alone after school. It's not just because of his sense of urgency for the future, but sometimes he's simply doing his daily tasks.

Aside from daily tasks, it's unclear how other tasks are triggered.

Kanakawa Tachibana guessed that he might need to become a ninja and then take on village missions, perhaps with new types of missions.

Next is the [Achievements] module.

The advantage of daily missions is their stability, but probably because I haven't been in the ninja world for long, I've triggered quite a few achievements over the past month.

Although only the "Newcomer to the Ninja World" achievement, which is a beginner's gift pack, gave 300 gold coins.

Other achievements, like today's, involving beating up children, only yield a paltry 5-10 coins, but the sheer variety of achievements available makes up for it.

It's like tasting 10 different dishes, talking to 100 people, or even triggering a meaningless achievement yesterday because I was late for school for the first time.

However, since the trigger conditions for all achievements were unknown, after trying them out haphazardly at the beginning and finding that active exploration was too inefficient, Jianchuan Ju stopped focusing on this aspect and started to trigger them randomly.

The last and most important thing is the [Lottery] interface.

According to the introduction after clicking on [?] in the lottery interface.

Each 160 gold coins can be exchanged for one chance to draw a prize. A guaranteed purple item is obtained with every 10 draws. A guaranteed gold item is obtained with every 90 draws from the same prize pool. Once a gold item is drawn, the cumulative number of draws is reset to zero.

The specific gold and purple item rewards will depend on what's in the featured banner.

Although it's advertised as an all-around Pokémon lottery, there are currently only three lottery pools.

One is currently unknown? Ike, and Tachibana Kanagawa hasn't figured out how to activate it yet.

The second is the general attribute up banner, which contains a wide variety of prizes, ranging from self-destructive moves like "Big Bang" to items with unclear meanings like "The Coin on Meowth's Head".

There's also a beginner-limited UP pool that you can only draw 20 times.

Because the newbie banner offers a 20% discount on 10-pulls, Jianchuan Ju, who had saved up 1280 gold coins more than half a month ago, decisively did a 10-pull in the newbie banner.

Aside from the seemingly impressive but ultimately low-level reward, the [Summoning Jutsu*Unique] (Gold Item*Unique: Masters the Summoning Jutsu and randomly summons a Pokémon as its host Pokémon, which has growth potential and starts with maximum friendship.) which is actually just a Froakie that isn't even level 5 yet, the other rewards seem rather lackluster.

The blue-colored items, such as [Healing Potions] and [PP Supplements], are still somewhat useful.

However, perhaps due to localization, the [Wound Medicine] turned into ointment after the prize was taken out, and the [PP Supplement] even turned into special ration pills.

Jianchuan Ju took out a small portion to test it, and could only say that it was slightly better than the medicine bought from the village pharmacy, but the improvement was limited.

The rest are just random white items with no descriptions whatsoever, such as [Pidgeotto Feather], [Yellow Cone], [Barbecued Fruit], [Orange Mail], [Small Mushroom], [Scrap Iron], and [Marble].

Fortunately, there's Froakie, another Pokémon from outside this world, yet a completely trustworthy partner. Even though its battle strength isn't great right now, it brings a lot of psychological comfort to Tachibana.

So, Kanakawa named Froakie "Kanakawa Blue," hoping that even if it evolved into Greninja, this name would stay with it forever.

Make it your partner, rather than just a ninja or Pokémon to grow together with.

Of course, out of a slightly embarrassed little thought, Jianchuan Ju still calls it "Lanzai" more often.

After this period of hard work, plus the achievement reward for beating up the kid today and the daily task reward, I have finally accumulated 1305 gold coins.

Jianchuan Ju glanced at the number of gold coins on the system panel, then looked at Lanzi, who had finished packing up his ninja tools and was looking at him with a worried expression.

"Let's eat first. We've waited all day, there's no rush."

Now that she had arrived in this perilous ninja world, Tachibana Kenkawa consciously began to try to be as calm and composed as possible in whatever she did.

People who are too impulsive and rash don't live long in the ninja world.

Anyway, we're guaranteed to be able to participate in the lottery today, so waiting patiently won't make a difference.

Jianchuan Ju forced himself to calm down.

She got up to change her shoes, cooked, and ate with Lanzi, completing everything step by step as usual.

After checking the time (22:00), having washed her hands and face and calmed herself down, Jianchuan Ju opened the system panel.

"Lanzi, come pray with me!"

Although being a ninja requires calmly facing everything, since something like time travel has already happened, praying for divine protection isn't something to be ashamed of, right?

"May all the gods and Buddhas protect us, Lao Tzu, Buddha, and Arceus."

"(⊙▽⊙？) Quack~"
