Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 228 The New Prize Pool (Third update, please subscribe!)

Upon hearing the sound, Jianchuan Ju looked over.

Suddenly, a small head popped out from the ground in the distance.

? ?

Jianchuan Ju walked over with a surprised look on her face.

"What are you busy with this time?"

「呱~ヾ(*▽*)」

The little frog waved excitedly, gesturing for Kanakawa Tachibana to come closer.

Jianchuan Ju peeked out and saw that the little guy had dug a huge hole in the ground. Inside, it was not only brightly lit, but also neatly arranged with several bookshelves and wooden boxes.

"This...this is an underground storage room?"

"Quack~<(￣︶￣)>"

Seeing the little frog's eager expression, Jianchuan Ju reached out and ruffled its head.

"Blue Boy is really amazing~"

Tachibana Kanakawa's praise was absolutely sincere.

Since learning the secret technique of "Secret Power", Lanzi has regarded this place as a secret base exclusively for him and his frog, and he cherishes it dearly.

Whenever he has free time, he goes into the "secret space" to renovate and modify it. Most of the building and planning here was done by Lan Zai on his own.

Seeing how happy the little frog was, Jianchuan Ju didn't give it any random advice. She would just occasionally come over to lend a hand or help with purchasing supplies.

This amount of money is nothing to Tachibana Kanagawa, who is now a bestselling author.

With ample financial support, Lanzi embarked on a bold plan to transform the entire "Secret Space" into his own private amusement park.

"But when I came in last night, they hadn't even started digging this hole yet, had they? You haven't been doing too much civil engineering lately and figured out 'digging holes' on your own, have you?"

"Gua~O.O?"

The little frog tilted its head, somewhat puzzled.

Then, as if realizing something, it slammed into the ground with a very standard frog dive, and the moment it hit the ground, its body spun rapidly, like a small blue whirlwind, and disappeared into the mud in the blink of an eye.

Before Jianchuan Ju could even marvel at the smooth and effortless burrowing motion, Lanzi suddenly burst out of the ground again, more than twenty meters away.

And as soon as Lan Zai peeked out, he immediately shrank back, and in the blink of an eye, he broke out of four or five more holes nearby.

Wow, so fast!

Jianchuan Ju didn't expect that what he thought Lan Zai had mastered was an "Earth Release: Heart Decapitation Technique", but it turned out to be a "Drilling Version of the Flying Thunder God"!

"This digging ability is ridiculously strong!"

If it weren't for the actual hole beneath their feet, Jianchuan Ju would have thought that Lanzi had teleported there directly.

Lanzai's little head popped out of the original hole in the ground once again, looking at Jianchuan Ju with a smile.

Jianchuan Ju gave a thumbs up and praised.

"sharp!"

After playing with the little guy for a while, Tachibana Kenkawa walked to the center of the training field by herself again.

Lan Zai used the soil dug from the ground to build artificial hills near its water park, clearly dissatisfied with the flat terrain in the 'Secret Space' that could be seen from beginning to end.

Jianchuan Ju smiled and shook her head, not bothering the little guy, and sat down and opened the system panel on her own.

After turning to the lottery interface, there were two more prizes available to draw from than before!

Aside from what I still don't understand?? In addition to the existing 'Normal Attribute Prize Pool', 'Water Attribute Prize Pool', and 'Flying Attribute Prize Pool', a new 'Fire Attribute Prize Pool' has been added.

Ice-attribute prize pool!

The addition of two prize pools at once was naturally due to the opening of Jianchuan Ju over the past two months, but neither of the two prize pools was opened just in the last few days.

More than a year ago, when she learned the skills "Steam Explosion" and "Hot Water", Tachibana Kenkawa successfully mastered the fire-attribute chakra nature.

However, Tachibana Kenkawa always felt that fire-attribute ninjutsu didn't quite fit his battle system, and in his memory, fire-type Pokémon moves were basically just horizontal fire, vertical fire, large fire, and more fire, just the same old thing over and over again. So Tachibana Kenkawa never really cared about opening the fire-attribute prize pool.

It wasn't until recently, when I finally had some free time, that I used my merit points in the village to exchange for a rather interesting B-rank Fire Release ninjutsu called "Fire Release: Flowing Flame Blade". This move is somewhat similar to the "Wind Release: Vacuum Blade" that Danzo used when fighting Sasuke. After releasing it, you can spit out a flame from your mouth and attach it to weapons like kunai, increasing the weapon's length while also adding fire damage.

It was one of the few decent fire-style ninjutsu techniques in Kirigakure's scarce repertoire, and the achievement to unlock the prize pool was only unlocked after Tachibana Kenkawa learned it.

[Ding! You have mastered a Fire Release ninjutsu, unlocking the achievement "Let the flames purify everything!"]

[Ding! You have mastered Fire Attribute Nature Transformation, learned one Fire Release ninjutsu, and unlocked the Fire Attribute UP pool.]

However, despite unlocking the fire attribute prize pool, Tachibana Kanakawa did not participate in the draw.

Although he saw some decent items after opening the prize pool, most of them were just as he remembered, offering little improvement to him. Having just gambled on the normal type pool, Jianchuan Tachibana was not planning to gamble again.

This time, he's targeting the ice-attribute prize pool.

Initially, Tachibana Kanagawa was thinking of finding an opportunity to kill an idiot from the Snow Clan and use the "Description" technique to steal an Ice Release bloodline limit.

However, there are people watching everywhere in the village, making it difficult to make a move.

Secondly, since that old bastard Xuefeng was still reporting for duty at the front line, Jianchuan Jujian sneaked around the Xue clan's territory several times, but no one dared to provoke him.

Randomly grabbing an innocent, unlucky person doesn't quite align with Tachibana Kanagawa's own philosophy.

After dragging on for a while, Tachibana Kenkawa finally snapped.

He actually managed to forcibly fuse his own bloodline limit.

It's somewhat different from the Snow Clan's Ice Release technique.

The bloodline limit created by Tachibana Kenkawa through fusion is also a combination of wind and water chakra nature transformations. However, perhaps because more wind attribute was added in the fusion ratio, Tachibana Kenkawa's Ice Release is not like the Snow Clan's ability to directly condense ice crystals; instead, it is closer to the effect of 'freezing air'.

After the initial successful fusion, a breath transformed the beverage in my hand into an iced drink.

Perhaps "Cold Release" would be a more fitting name, but Tachibana Kanagawa himself thinks "Ice Release" sounds better.

Of course, these minor details are not very important.

To unlock the prize pool, you must master the corresponding ninjutsu. This technique is only available within the Yuki clan, and it's not necessarily the unique Ice Release technique of Tachibana Kanagawa.

Reluctantly, Tachibana Kanakawa spent several more days developing a trash ninjutsu called "Ice Release: Cold Touch," which had a learning difficulty of at least B-rank and a power that was probably less than D-rank. Finally, he triggered the achievement of unlocking a new prize pool.

[Ding! You have mastered an Ice Release ninjutsu, unlocking the achievement "Feel the Power of Extreme Ice!"]

[Ding! You have mastered Ice Attribute Nature Transformation, learned one Ice Release ninjutsu, and unlocked the Ice Attribute UP pool.]

Now, the long-awaited Ice attribute prize pool has been opened, and I've accumulated 5000 gold coins for Jianchuan Ju.

We can finally start the prize draw.

Whispering: Could I update twice tomorrow? Maybe I can play some games or something.

I admit that I was a bit too arrogant and spoke too loudly when I made the boastful claim that I would update every day during the National Day holiday.

I haven't touched a game in three months since I started writing this book. T_T

Rare holiday
