Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 239 Ice Release: Sleeves of White Snow

Once she left her tent, Jianchuan Ju was like a heartless scumbag, immediately putting Dou out of her mind and starting to think about her system lottery.

In fact, during the nearly one month I was away, the second year's "Important Item Limited-Time Event Pool" was triggered once again.

The system also thoughtfully included last year's 10-pull in the guaranteed prize pool.

However, having learned from her previous experience, Tachibana Kenkawa ignored the "Important Item Pool".

I still choose to invest my coins in the "Ice Attribute UP Pool".

虽然大部分时间都是在赶路，但是系统还是十分人性化的给出了像是『长跑10公里』『杀死5只虫子』『挖出一个3x3x3的土坑』这一类，能够在当天完成的任务。

Meanwhile, Tachibana Kanagawa was thinking that the probability of getting a gold item in the "Ice Attribute UP Pool" was a full one in four, so maybe she would get a gold prize in this ten-pull.

The result was both surprising and unsurprising; this time, only a purple item was obtained again.

【Technique Learning Item: Ice Release: Freezing Fist】(Purple Item: Ice Release Bloodline Limit Ninjutsu. After casting the ninjutsu, a large amount of ice-attribute chakra filled with freezing cold energy will gather on the fist. When the Ice Fist hits, it will not only cause freezing damage to the enemy, but also cause the enemy to be corroded by the cold energy and fall into a frozen state. After multiple hits, the enemy will be completely frozen.)

Jianchuan Ju could only console herself.

"A one-in-four chance of getting gold doesn't mean you're guaranteed to get it after four 10-pulls. Not getting it this time is just building up your luck; maybe you'll get two golds in the next 10-pull?"

Fortunately, Tachibana Kanagawa was fairly satisfied with the ninjutsu "Frozen Fist".

Although he himself is not very good at punching others in a fight, he would rather use that skill to stab the enemy directly.

However, as the system describes, "Frozen Fist" is a ninjutsu without hand seals. Yes, it is a ninjutsu.

The knowledge imparted by the system did not include physical techniques such as how to punch or how to exert force. It only taught how to quickly fill the entire fist with freezing air and how to inject cold air into the enemy's body through contact. Therefore, it was classified as a ninjutsu.

This move is actually somewhat similar to the trashy Ice Release ninjutsu "Ice Release: Cold Touch" that Tachibana Kenkawa initially developed to unlock the "Ice Attribute UP Pool".

However, it surpasses many others in every aspect. But because Tachibana Kenkawa had some ideas about the "Cold Touch" he developed, he never gave up on continuing to improve it.

Having received further instruction in the relevant knowledge, Tachibana Kanagawa successfully transformed it into a new, unsealed ninjutsu that could inflict freezing damage on weapons in just two days.

As for this brand-new ninjutsu, it was named "Ice Release: Sleeve White Snow" by Tachibana Kanagawa.

Even though Jianchuan Ju's Ice Release skill pool has become much richer now, with ranged, melee, support, and healing skills, it is already quite complete. However, Jianchuan Ju still plans to continue to cultivate the Ice attribute prize pool and try to get two gold items before considering stopping.

Just as Jianchuan Ju was thinking this, she suddenly stopped and turned around to look, but she did not find anyone suspicious.

"Jonin Kanagawa, what's wrong?"

A patrolling ninja passing by noticed that Tachibana was cautiously looking around, so he went up to ask her what was wrong.

"Hmm, it's nothing. I'm probably just being a little overly sensitive from being on missions lately."

Jianchuan Ju chuckled, waved with a smile, and continued walking out of the camp.

However, he remained vigilant, quickly recalling the sensations he had just experienced.

Just now, Tachibana Kanakawa knew perfectly well that it wasn't because she was being "nervous".

Of course, it wasn't triggered by the 'danger prediction' alert.

Even though the alert level at the frontline camp is not high right now, not many people are bold enough to actually attack me inside the camp.

However, Tachibana Kenkawa did indeed sense a strong sense of malice just now.

Tachibana Kanagawa never believed he had any sensory ninja talent. He was often so engrossed in his thoughts that he wouldn't even notice when someone quietly approached him.

If it weren't for her amazing skill of "danger prediction," Tachibana Kenkawa would have died countless times already.

However, the malice just now, even though it didn't trigger "danger prediction" and wouldn't immediately cause harm, was still palpable to someone as sensory-challenged as me. This shows just how intense that malice was.

"Have I offended someone recently? Or is there an outside spy in the camp?"

Jianchuan Ju couldn't figure these things out for the time being, but since she was certain that it wasn't her imagination, she could only be more vigilant to avoid being tricked when she wasn't careful.

With that thought in mind, Jianchuan Ju quickened his pace and swiftly left the front-line camp.

Not far from the camp gate, after finding a secluded spot, Jianchuan Ju immediately returned to the 'secret space' to change clothes.

Not long after Jianchuan Tachibana left.

Just now, Jianchuan Ju sensed malice in a nearby camp.

Two dark figures pushed open the tent flap again, their gazes turning somber as they looked in the direction where Jianchuan Ju had left.

"I told you before, that guy has very sharp senses, so don't focus your gaze on him."

"I'm sorry, Chieftain."

"It doesn't matter anymore. Although that guy came back a few days earlier this time, his departure time from the camp hasn't changed much. His death is just around the corner!"

The light and shadow flickered and shifted, and the person speaking at that moment revealed their true face.

It was Yukikaze, the patriarch of the Yuki clan.

The Snow Clan already had a significant conflict with the Green Team due to the smuggling incident.

Later investigation confirmed that Yuki-san, a Jonin of the Yuki clan, was killed by Tachibana and his group.

However, due to the war, the Snow Clan has never found an opportunity to take revenge on them.

Later on, whether it was Ao, Tachibana, or Kisame Hoshigaki who participated in killing Xue Shan, their improvement was too rapid. In less than two years, they all reached a high position in Kirigakure, and their strength increased day by day.

The Yuki clan has already given up on the idea of ​​being enemies with them. After all, as a ninja clan, it is impossible to suffer greater losses for a loss that has already been achieved without sufficient benefits.

However, some time ago, a member of the Yuki clan accidentally learned that Tachibana Kanagawa had developed her own bloodline limit at a young age.

This wouldn't normally be a big deal; the addition of a new bloodline family in the village wouldn't threaten the Snow Clan's position.

However, what she shouldn't have done was that the bloodline limit awakened by Tachibana Kenkawa was the same as that of the Yuki clan: Ice Release.

Now that things have come to this point, this is no longer a simple personal conflict; the existence of Kanagawa Tachibana has threatened the very foundation of the Snow Clan.

Unless Tachibana Kenkawa is willing to marry into the Yuki clan, the Yuki clan must eliminate this new "Ice Release" ninja.

Yukikaze stared calmly at the spot where Kenkawa Tachibana had stood, muttering to himself in a somber tone.

"It's a pity, your status is already established, it's impossible for you to choose to marry into the family."

"Then you'll only have death to live on!"
