Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 216 Advanced Tutorial on Water Dragon Bullets (Third Update)

"What the hell? Yekura defected?"

Jianchuan Ju suddenly sat up in bed with a burst of strength.

However, his body, which had not fully recovered, was clearly not suited to such strenuous activity.

Jianchuan Ju almost rolled off the bed.

Mei Terumi, who was standing nearby, stepped forward with a hint of disdain and helped him up, gently laying Tachibana Kenkawa flat again.

"You should lie down properly! You're a medical ninja, how can you be so careless!"

Seeing Mei Terumi carefully covering herself with a blanket, Tachibana Kenkawa could only smile awkwardly and didn't dare to move any further.

However, he was genuinely surprised by the news.

Unexpectedly, after all their efforts to kill Pakura and sabotage the peace talks, it turned out that Sunagakure had never intended to negotiate with Konoha; they were simply after supplies. Pakura, without needing any intervention, chose to defect on her own.

"This task was completed so inexplicably?"

At this moment, Jianchuan Ju and his group were already on their way back to the front-line camp by boat.

Lan, who had come out to scout ahead, ran right into Kisame Hoshigaki and his two companions who were searching for Tachibana Kanagawa. Naturally, Tachibana Kanagawa no longer needed to hide in the secret space.

Lanzi first led the three to the location where Jianchuan Ju and Namikaze Minato were fighting, and then entered the secret space to report.

After learning about the situation, Jianchuan Ju forced himself to finish the hand seals and came out to join the others.

However, Tachibana Kanagawa was still in a weak state, and Kisame Hoshigaki had to carry her all the way back to the ship.

They did run into several Konoha and Sunagakure ninja squads along the way, but since they had already found the people, Kisame Hoshigaki and his group stopped being cautious and rushed all the way to the sea.

Then, under the cover of dozens of Sky Division ninjas, the group quickly boarded the ship and ran away without looking back.

Right now, Mei Terumi is telling Tachibana Kanagawa what happened in the past two days.

"So Sunagakure and Konoha have been fighting here for two days?" Tachibana asked, gesturing for Mei Terumi to continue.

"No, that's not true. After the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, repelled the Yellow Flash, most of the Konoha ninja were killed on the spot. It's just that Sunagakure seems to be looking for something there and hasn't left, which is why they've been fighting with the Konoha ninjas who arrived later until now."

Mei Terumi shrugged, denying Tachibana Kenkawa's statement.

However, Tachibana Kenkawa didn't listen to anything Mei Terumi said afterward and sat up abruptly once again.

"What the hell? Rasa defeated Minato Namikaze?? Do you want to hear what you're saying?"

Mei Terumi looked at Tachibana Kenkawa speechlessly, completely baffled as to why he had such a strong reaction.

"Is there anything surprising about that? Rasa is the Kazekage, after all. Even if the Yellow Flash is very famous, what's so strange about him being defeated by the Kazekage?"

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju rolled her eyes and lay back on her pillow, not wanting to say anything.

"What's so strange about that? Rasa, the Kazekage who can't even beat his own son, actually defeated the invincible Minato Namikaze in three World Wars! Kishimoto would be jumping up and down cursing, wouldn't he?"

Ultimately, the reason why Tachibana Kenkawa was unable to perform at her full potential can only be attributed to Minato Namikaze fighting while injured.

Thinking about it this way, he risked his life to bring Minato Namikaze down to half health, but the credit all went to Rasa, while his own record of being beaten and forced to flee by Minato Namikaze was added to his record.

I feel a bit frustrated no matter how I think about it.

"If Rasa had such a record in the original work, he wouldn't have earned the title of 'gold miner.'"

"Never mind, I'm already conspicuous enough. If I stand out too much, my bounty at the Gold Exchange might exceed 1 Asuma."

Seeing that the guy in front of her was starting to drift off again, Mei Terumi was already used to it, and simply gave a brief account of what happened next.

When she heard that everyone was doing their best to rescue her, Tachibana Kanakawa was still somewhat moved.

"However, we still need to discuss it with Captain Fu when we get back, and replace the head of the guard!"

It's definitely not because Tachibana Kanakawa is petty that she has this idea.

The escort team is such an important position, originally meant to protect the air force warships. How can they be cowardly and think about running away before even engaging in battle?

"It's definitely not because I'm petty!"

Just as Tachibana Kenkawa was thinking about what reason to come up with to request a change of subordinates,

Zabuza walked in carrying food.

"Captain Qing asked me to bring these to you. Would you like to eat them now?"

Jianchuan Ju had actually eaten the soldier's rations, so she wasn't very hungry. However, thinking that no one would bring her food after she lay here, she still reached out and took the food.

"How much longer until we get back to the front-line camp? Still no news from there?"

While eating, Jianchuan Ju casually asked.

"There's been no news. Captain Qing is urging us to speed up the return trip, so we should arrive around tomorrow night."

"It's been two days already. News from the camp can't be this slow. Something must have happened. Before leaving, Yagura said he was going to establish a new camp in the Land of Fire. Could it be that they've started fighting Konoha again?" Tachibana frowned, but without any information, he could only speculate.

Zabuza ignored his mutterings and turned to look at Mei Terumi.

"Ming, are you eating here?"

After a moment's thought, Terumi didn't refuse and reached out to take the food as well.

However, since Mei Terumi was sitting on the inside of Tachibana Kenkawa's bed, Zabuza had to lean forward slightly to hand the food to Mei Terumi from Tachibana Kenkawa's body.

As luck would have it, a booklet fell from Zabuza's arms onto Tachibana Kenkawa.

Mei Terumi glanced at Zabuza, who was standing there stunned, and subconsciously picked up the booklet, casually flipping through the pages.

"Twenty-three-year-old Ryuto Sarutobi sat in the first-class cabin of the CA984 passenger ship."

"Snap!"

"Snap!"

Two sounds.

Tachibana and Zabuza simultaneously struck at the booklet in Mei Terumi's hand.

The two attacked with lightning speed, giving Mei Terumi no chance to react. In the blink of an eye, the booklet was back in Zabuza's hands.

Due to his weakened state, Jianchuan Ju was a fraction of a second slower in his attack, and ended up slapping his own thigh. He winced in pain, but stubbornly refrained from making a sound.

Mei Terumi looked at the two strange expressions with some confusion and asked.

"What book is this? Why are you all so nervous?"

Even with half his face wrapped in bandages, Zabuza's flushed face was still undeniable.

Zabuza stammered as he spoke.

"Is this...is this..."

At this moment, Jianchuan Ju didn't care about the redness and swelling on her legs and hurriedly explained.

"This is! An advanced tutorial for the Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Yes, yes! The tutorial for water fire bullets!"

Zabuza stammered in agreement and even showed the book cover to Mei Terumi.

Jianchuan Ju covered her face with her hands.

Zabuza seemed to realize that his actions were somewhat inappropriate, and walked out of the cabin without looking back.

However, Tachibana Kanagawa watched his retreating figure.

Faintly, it seemed that a few wisps of purple smoke were rising from Zabuza's head.

All drafts have been cleared.

Although it was said that extra chapters would be added starting tomorrow, after thinking about it, since the National Day holiday starts tomorrow, I'll definitely be able to write during the day, so I might as well release this last chapter as well.

Actually, the plot has branched out later on, and I'm a bit lost right now. I want to take advantage of the holiday to sort out the outline properly, but I'm actually a little panicked.

Just wondering, if I can't come up with anything tomorrow and only get two updates, can this chapter be considered an extra update?
