Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 254 Sode Shirayuki Swastika!

The Snow Clan elder's parting "thank you" left Jianchuan Ju speechless.

It wasn't until the old man left the tent that Jianchuan Ju finally came to his senses and scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

He turned to look at the screen behind him and spoke.

"Alright, Kabuto, come out."

As soon as Jianchuan Ju finished speaking, the white-haired little devil Nuonuo walked out from behind the screen and cautiously looked at Jianchuan Ju.

"It's alright, those things from earlier have nothing to do with you now."

"Please sit down, let's continue our explanation."

That's right. When the Snow Clan elders came to negotiate, Tachibana Kenkawa was explaining ninjutsu to Kabuto. It wasn't convenient for the kid to stay here, so he was asked to hide behind the screen for a while.

In any case, the deal between Tachibana Kenkawa and the Yuki clan was not afraid of being overheard by others.

Even such a deal and compromise were known to the village's higher-ups; otherwise, Teacher Qing wouldn't have subtly reminded them three days ago that Jianchuan Ju's opinion could influence the village's punishment of the Snow Clan.

As for the little guy Kabuto, I originally planned to let him stay in my tent after Tachibana Kenkawa left. Now that he's stayed a few more days, I'll just occasionally give him some pointers on his cultivation.

Having the experience of accompanying Chunyu to guide Yugao, Jianchuan Ju is not afraid of misleading others.

"Chakra is essential for ninjas."

Time flies.

It wasn't until evening, when Kabuto was preparing to go to the medical class to learn basic medical knowledge, that Tachibana Kenkawa stopped lecturing.

"Hehe, the little guy is quite hardworking."

Jianchuan Ju will be going out again tomorrow to try out her previous ideas, so she has been very dedicated to the training of Zhidian Dou these past two days.

Dou is indeed a genius. Even things he doesn't understand yet, he tries his best to record them and learn them later.

This pleased Tachibana Kanakawa himself quite a bit.

However, Jianchuan Ju has something even more important to do today.

It's been almost a month since I last drew 'Frozen Fist', and now I have 1600 coins again.

Looking at the insect-type mark he had obtained through "drawing" on his hand, he realized that he had no clue how to develop insect-type ninjutsu, which gave Tachibana a wake-up call.

Even if you do get the 'feature' you expect, you may not be able to unlock a new prize pool immediately.

If you're really foolish enough to save up coins and wait for a new prize pool, you might not even be able to win a prize a year later.

It would be more practical to draw the ice-type gold prize sooner and convert it into immediate combat power.

"If I don't get a Ghost or Psychic item from this Ice-type draw, I'll probably have to try my luck in the regular draw pool."

After making her decision, Tachibana Kenkawa no longer hesitated and directly opened the lottery panel, selecting the "Ice Attribute UP Pool".

"Kira, please help! It's time for the gold to drop!"

Click to enter the lucky draw!

Holy crap!

There's no need to wait for the prize to appear; it will appear as soon as Jianchuan Ju clicks on the lottery page.

The ball of light, constantly pulsating with golden radiance, proved the high level of this prize.

Kanakawa Tachibana stared blankly at the prize that had turned into a golden shooting star, muttering to herself.

"Is Jirachi really that amazing?"

Regardless of what Jianchuan Ju thought, the prizes were arranged one by one on the panel.

【Technique Learning Device: Absolute Zero】(Gold Item: Ice Release Bloodline Limit Secret Technique. After the hand seals are formed, it can release an extremely cold blast of ice-attribute chakra. Any creature or object hit by the blast will instantly freeze and lose its life.)

【Technique Learning Device: Aurora Beam】(Purple Item: Ice Release Bloodline Limit Ninjutsu. After performing the hand seals, it can fire a rainbow-colored beam of light to attack. If it hits the target, it will not only deal minor damage to the enemy, but also reduce the enemy's health.)

[Limu Fruit] (Blue item: A magical tree fruit that can thaw frozen conditions after consumption.)

7 white items

"Absolute Zero! They've even used instant-death attacks? Am I invincible?"

Upon seeing the name of the golden item, Tachibana Kanakawa's first reaction was not excitement, but rather a sense of bewilderment.

The name "absolute zero" is too grand. In more scientific terms, absolute zero causes the molecules of an object to lose kinetic energy. It is a temperature that cannot be reached in nature or artificially created, and it only exists in theory as the lowest temperature.

Although ninjas are not exactly scientific, the idea of ​​creating absolute zero using chakra still sounds a bit too fantastical.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Jianchuan Ju took the move scroll out of the system panel.

However, as the knowledge was imparted, Jianchuan Ju's expression grew increasingly unpleasant.

It's not that the power of the "Absolute Zero" move is just for show. According to the descriptions I've learned, even if the so-called extreme cold released by "Absolute Zero" doesn't reach true absolute zero, it's not far off.

As an offensive ninjutsu, there is not much difference in actual performance between -270°C and -273.15°C. Basically, no one can escape unscathed once hit.

However, this terrifying move is also extremely dangerous for Tachibana Kanagawa herself.

It's worth noting that in the original story, Sasuke would burn his lips when practicing the ordinary Fireball Jutsu.

Freezing air, such as at absolute zero, is naturally extremely dangerous.

As soon as freezing air appears, it will quickly absorb the surrounding heat, causing the area where the freezing air exists to quickly fall into a low temperature. Although it is not as damaging as "Absolute Zero" itself, it is far more effective than the effect that a specialized freezing air ninjutsu like "Snowflakes" can achieve.

And the one closest to this move, bearing the brunt of it, is Tachibana Kenkawa himself, who released the ninjutsu.

According to Jianchuan Tachibana's estimation, if he were to spit out "Absolute Zero" from his mouth like he would with ordinary ninjutsu, his lips would probably freeze and die before he could even hit the enemy for a second.

If it's a release from the hand, it might last an extra second.

This is still under the condition that Jianchuan Ju has the characteristic of "Frozen Body", which greatly increases her own resistance to freezing and can also recover her own injuries through low temperature. At this extremely low temperature, the injury recovery is also very fast.

"It seems I should try to unleash this move using weapons as much as possible from now on."

Most metals have an incredibly high tolerance for low temperatures; even at absolute zero, they can still retain certain physical properties.

Furthermore, with the extension of the weapon, the freezing air can be positioned a little further away from Tachibana, which should allow him to sustain himself for a few more seconds while releasing this ninjutsu.

"Good heavens, I was just joking about Sode no Shirayuki! Now she's even brought up Bankai?"

Let me explain why I took leave today.

First of all, thank you all for your concern.

To be honest, the reason I took leave today to write an extra chapter was partly because I acted impulsively. It's my first time writing a book, so my mindset might not be very stable.

I originally asked for leave to revise the first few chapters. But I really couldn't figure out how to revise them, so I gritted my teeth and decided to just add more chapters. Since I can't figure it out by revising, I figured I might as well release the rest of the content. At least the complete story is there, which will make it more appealing.

However, you don't need to worry too much about my work situation.

Due to the nature of my work, the company was very busy before the National Day holiday, but the workload has been relatively light and I've had more free time recently. So my supervisor approved my leave request without saying anything. (Of course, I wasn't stupid enough to ask to stay home and write.)

In addition, I only had one day off this week due to the holiday adjustment. Taking a day off will allow me to write a few more chapters and build up a backlog, so I won't have to stay up too late on weekdays.

I probably won't do anything so impulsive again.

I'll try to save up as many drafts as possible in my spare time, so that it will be easier to revise and polish them, or release a continuous storyline in one go. (However, I'll probably only be able to update twice a week for the time being, sorry.)

Finally, thank you all for your concern and support.

Yes, it is like that.
