Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 214 Minecraft Live-Action Version

Inside the secret space.

Jianchuan Ju slowly woke up. Although she was still a little sore, she was much better than before she fell into a coma.

However, at this moment, Jianchuan Ju was still weak and sore in all four limbs, like a salted fish that had been thrown ashore, with every cell in her body sending out signals of hunger and thirst.

I tried to take a deep breath, but I didn't even have the strength to breathe properly, and could only make a hoarse hissing sound.

On the contrary, the mental strain that had previously caused him to faint has actually recovered considerably.

"Hiss~ Are there really such serious side effects from opening two doors?"

In fact, Jianchuan Ju misunderstood. The side effects of activating 'acupoint striking' are only a small part of the reason for his current state.

The main cause is the depletion of bodily energy.

Previously, when she rescued Ao and the others, Tachibana Kenkawa had activated a 'Chakra' amplification.

Later, when facing Minato Namikaze, he continuously activated the "Neural Reflexes" and "Body Flexibility" boosts.

Although the subsequent battles with Minato Namikaze were mostly close combat, without the use of any powerful ninjutsu, he was repeatedly seriously injured and had to repeatedly use "Feathered Roost" to recover from his injuries, desperately squeezing out all the chakra and cells in his body, while also maintaining a high level of mental focus at all times.

The fact that he was able to hold on until the end, actively release the 'pressure point' and then faint is a result of his high spirits during the battle, which forced him to ignore the negative effects on his body.

After catching her breath, Jianchuan Ju noticed that it was already late at night in the 'secret space,' with the bright moon hanging high and the stars shining brightly.

"So there's nighttime in the secret space too? It feels like it's been ages since I've lay down like this and looked at the stars."

"Why does this starry sky look so much like a bunch of twinkling Minato Namikazes?"

Thinking of this, Jianchuan Ju suddenly laughed out loud. Although the laughter pulled on some overly tired muscle, making Jianchuan Ju feel even more uncomfortable, it still couldn't stop the joy in his heart.

"Haha, I'm one of those strong guys who almost killed Minato Namikaze! Isn't that better than that idiot Obito, who had a skill like Kamui and still got his kidney smashed by Minato?"

Actually, at the time, Tachibana Kanagawa was too close to Minato Namikaze, so he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

However, after nearly succeeding in a sneak attack and injuring Minato Namikaze in the first round of combat, Tachibana Kanakawa became somewhat arrogant and wanted to see if he could find an opportunity to actually kill this bastard who had been disgusting him.

Otherwise, if Tachibana Kenji had used his speed to quickly create distance and then seized the opportunity to form a hand seal, he could have retreated into the 'secret space' much earlier.

Only after Tachibana Kenkawa nearly killed Minato Namikaze did he finally release his pent-up anger and begin to think about escaping.

"They're still getting a bit cocky, but after stalling for so long and injuring Minato Namikaze, at least Ao-sensei and Kono should have successfully retreated, right?"

Just as Jianchuan Ju was lost in thought, Lan Zai's head suddenly popped out from above him.

"Quack~ Σ(Q.Q)"

Seeing Lanzi's anxious and tearful expression, Jianchuan Ju smiled and offered a weak attempt to comfort him.

"Cough cough. I'm fine, just a little weak and can't move for now."

No sooner had Jianchuan Ju finished speaking than her stomach rumbled.

"Um, I think besides feeling exhausted, I'm also a bit hungry."

Whether it was psychological or not, Jianchuan Ju had only felt physically weak before, but after this voice reminded her, she immediately felt as if she hadn't eaten for a day and a night and was extremely hungry.

"Lanzi, go get me something to eat. Or just bring me some soldier rations."

Since the secret space was opened, Jianchuan Ju has been busy and has hardly ever come in. Little Frog, on the other hand, is very attentive to this place, constantly replenishing supplies to the secret space, so there is definitely food available.

However, my current condition is probably due to energy deficiency caused by excessive physical exertion, so taking the soldier's ration pills directly might be easier for me to absorb.

Within seconds, Lanzi was already carrying bags of supplies, and in a flash, he returned to Jianchuan Ju's side.

Seeing that Jianchuan Ju looked like a salted fish, the little frog simply picked out a few ordinary soldier rations and a little bit of special soldier rations from his ninja tool bag and fed them directly to him.

Feeling that his strength and chakra had recovered a little, although he was still in a state of weakness, at least he could move his head a little.

"When we get back, we should make some high-calorie soldier rations specifically for restoring stamina. We've only focused on chakra recovery before, and haven't improved the regular soldier rations at all."

"Ahem. Lanzi, have some water."

With the little frog's careful care, Jianchuan Ju was finally able to sit up a little straight with its help, no longer having to lie on the lawn and thrash around like a salted fish.

However, as soon as Jianchuan Ju sat up, he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.

Although the spot where Jianchuan Ju had been lying was still the original lawn of the secret space, a cave-like structure made of mud and wooden planks had been erected in front of her? A mud house?

Even the roof of this earthen house is thoughtfully covered with a layer of green grass, making it blend in with the surrounding boundless wilderness.

Even more outrageous is that there is a stream on the side that is drawn from the river in the center of the secret space, as well as a reservoir that is not small.

Inside the earthen house, one can vaguely see various miscellaneous items and several large wooden crates piled up.

"What's this? A real-life version of Minecraft?"

"wrong!"

Jianchuan Ju looked at Lanzi, who was standing to the side with a look of utter astonishment, and asked in a horrified tone.

"How long was I unconscious???"

Although the little frog felt a little aggrieved that its masterpiece did not receive praise from its owner, it still subconsciously stretched out its palm and pressed down one of its fingers.

Two hours? Definitely not!

"I was unconscious—for two! days!!!"

"Quack~ ┑(￣Д￣)┍"

Lanzi withdrew his little hand and nodded.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Jianchuan Ju silently tilted her head back again.

"No wonder I was so hungry, my stomach was practically sticking to my back! I really hadn't eaten for a whole day and night... no, two days and two nights!"

"Speaking of which, I've just disappeared for two days. Don't the teachers think I'm dead?"

However, Tachibana Kanagawa knew his own condition well. Although the Konoha ninjas probably wouldn't be lying in wait for him, he was too weak to even move his fingers to form hand seals, let alone go out to deliver a message.

If he goes out like that, even an ordinary wild animal could carry him away.

"I should have brought the psychic scroll with me on the ship. That way, at least Lan could have dispelled the psychic spell and let me know I got back safely."

Unfortunately, Lan Zai's psychic scroll had long been moved to a secret space for safekeeping, and now he couldn't even communicate directly back to the village.

Looking at the little frog sitting obediently to the side, Jianchuan Ju said helplessly.

"Lanzi, go out and check on things for me. If there's any problem, just cancel the summoning spell and come back, okay?"

Fortunately, the little frog only needed a thought to dispel the summoning spell and return to the scroll, which was even more convenient than Jianchuan Ju herself using 'secret power' to return here. Jianchuan Ju wasn't too worried about its safety.

「Quack!ｏ(｀-′ｏ)」
