Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 245 Can we manage this now?

After saying that, Jianchuan Ju ignored the reactions of the others and sat down on the spot.

At the same time, he formed hand seals and used ninjutsu to release a small patch of "white mist" that was just enough to cover himself.

The others looked at each other, unsure whether they should sit down as well, seeing their captain sit down so casually.

Upon seeing this, Kono spoke with a serious expression.

"The captain said to wait, so we'll wait here. Don't overthink it."

The others immediately dispersed, forming a protective barrier around the white mist enveloping the tangerine tree, remaining on high alert.

As for Tachibana Kanagawa in the "white mist," she was rapidly recovering her strength and even formed hand seals to cast a small-scale "Fine Snow" to lower the temperature of the mist.

The main reason for doing this is that the progress of Jianchuan Ju's research and development of a "stamina recovery potion" to assist "acupressure" has not been smooth.

Currently, the only way to restore physical strength is by using the "Frozen Body" property to consume chakra to create a low-temperature zone.

Time passed by little by little.

While recovering her strength in the white mist, Jianchuan Ju also occasionally ate a 'Special Soldier Rations Pill'.

"Aren't you coming yet? You've got some nerve!"

Just as Tachibana Kenkawa was thinking this, the familiar sound of a hang glider appeared again over the beach.

However, compared to when Kono and his group came before, the buzzing sound this time was much louder.

Nearly fifty flying ninjas from the fourth squadron of the Air Force flew in neat formation toward this side. Seemingly noticing Kono and his group who were on guard, these people landed directly on the beach without any precautions.

The leader, a somewhat effeminate-looking black-haired ninja, walked towards Kono with a smile as soon as he landed.

"Hey? Isn't this Captain Kono? It's rare that you don't have a mission today, why aren't you resting at camp? What are you doing running here?"

Faced with the fourth squad leader's enthusiasm, Kono responded with a very stiff and cold tone.

"He's the acting captain!"

The fourth squad leader seemed completely unconcerned about Kono's cold demeanor and continued to speak with a smile.

"Hey! Acting captain is still captain, and he might get promoted soon."

After saying this, seeing Lan Zai standing alone in the middle of the crowd, the fourth squad leader's smile deepened, and he teased him in a very affected tone.

"Isn't this Captain Jianchuan's summoned beast? How come it's here by itself? Could it be...?"

Just then, Tachibana Kanagawa, who was already somewhat annoyed by the guy's words, strode out from the white mist.

With a slight upturn of his lips and a cold gaze, his eyes were fixed firmly on the fourth squad leader.

"Xue Lin, you don't seem surprised at all by what happened here!"

Xue Lin, who hadn't noticed the white mist from beginning to end, suddenly appeared the moment she saw Jianchuan Tachibana.

His previously excited expression immediately froze, and then quickly turned ugly, as if he had eaten shit.

His tone was no longer cheerful; he greeted Jianchuan Ju somewhat dryly.

"Captain Jianjianchuan is here too?"

Hearing Xue Lin's somewhat incredulous tone, Jian Chuanju's lips curled up even wider.

He smiled and asked Xue Lin.

"What? Captain Xue Lin seems to think I shouldn't be here? Or that I shouldn't be standing here?"

Jianchuan Ju emphasized the word "station" with a meaningful tone.

Like Kaguya Rasok, Xue Lin rose to the position of captain of the Sky Division as a member of her clan's ninja family.

Furthermore, the Snow Clan had already planted them in the Sky Clan from the very beginning of its establishment.

However, although this guy also has the strength of a Jonin, he was not originally a particularly outstanding figure among the Jonin of the Snow Clan.

Otherwise, they would have already occupied important positions in other departments or clans, and would not have come to the emerging Air Force Department to compete for the position of squad leader.

Furthermore, he himself does not have a deep understanding of aerial combat.

If the Kaguya clan hadn't had a bad reputation among the various Kirigakure clans, forcing the clan ninjas within the Sora branch to do everything they could to promote Yukorin, it's hard to say whether he would have even reached his current position.

Even so, Xue Lin never really stood out in the Sky Division.

At this moment, when faced with Jianchuan Ju's question, her tone became somewhat weaker.

"Uh, Captain Jianchuan, weren't we supposed to be going out on a solo mission today? That's why I was a little surprised to see you here. That's all!"

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Kanakawa took a step forward with her right foot, her smile deepening.

"Captain Xue Lin, you have patrol duties today, yet you still care so much about your colleagues' whereabouts. It's truly touching!"

"But as the patrol supervisor in charge of this area, Captain Xue Lin seems to have taken a bit too long to get here?"

Upon hearing Tachibana's question, Xue Lin first glanced at the many team members beside her before speaking vaguely.

"Our squad discovered traces of Konoha ninja to the west; just now it was just..."

However, Xue Lin's words were interrupted once again.

Tachibana Kanakawa took another step forward, her tone becoming increasingly aggressive.

"You discovered traces of Konoha ninja? How many people were involved that required the entire fourth squad to be deployed? How long ago was that? So, after your entire squad was deployed, what new intelligence did you obtain?"

Xue Lin, whose explanation was interrupted by Jianchuan Tachibana's series of questions, seemed to be getting a little embarrassed and angry.

His face flushed red instantly, and he roared at Jianchuan Ju who was approaching step by step!

"Jianchuan Ju, who do you think you are? You just have a title! Do you really think you're the vice-captain of the Air Force?"

"Don't forget! You're still my equal! What right do you have to question what mission I did?!"

Hearing Xue Lin's roar, Jian Chuan Ju's mouth almost stretched to her ears, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

The next instant.

"Whoosh—"

Jianchuan Ju's figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only sand and stones flying backward.

Followed by.

A muffled "bang" was heard.

Xue Lin, who was just standing at the front of the fourth squad and confronting Jian Chuan Ju, was kicked away by Jian Chuan Ju, who accelerated and instantly appeared in front of him.

However, Tachibana Kanagawa's figure only appeared quietly where Yukino had just stood.

Without stopping, it rushed towards Xue Lin, who was slipping on the sand.

Before the other person could get up, in the blink of an eye, Tachibana Kenkawa had already caught up with Yukrin.

Raise your right leg high, then stomp down hard.

"Pfft~"

Sand and stones flew everywhere.

As Xue Lin continued gliding, her feet swung upwards unnaturally due to inertia, but her body was brought to an instant.

A small crater was blasted open on the ground, and Xue Lin's head was crushed into the sand by Jianchuan Ju.

Yukorin, who never expected Tachibana Kenkawa to suddenly launch an attack, was subdued in the blink of an eye.

Only then did the smile on Tachibana Kanagawa's face gradually disappear, and he looked coldly at Yukorin, whom he was stepping on, and asked.

"Am I now qualified to inquire about your mission?"

Once you reach the boutique level, it feels like the tension that has been building up suddenly eased.

My mind often goes blank when I'm typing.

The speed has also slowed down considerably.

I've been writing until 2 a.m. these past two days to finish the update, and I've been dozing off constantly at work during the day.

Moreover, the badges never refresh, and I have to open the software every half hour to see if they've reappeared.

Sigh, I feel like my mentality is worse than a child's.
