Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 3: Ten consecutive draws!

Click to enter the lucky draw!

Regardless of whether praying to gods and Buddhas is truly effective, I've done all I can, so I'll leave the rest to fate.

Jianchuan Ju held Lanzai in her arms, quietly watching the flashing lottery interface. A moment later, all the light orbs on the interface converged and then exploded again.

Seeing the ball of light explode, Jianchuan Ju immediately stared intently at the panel, vaguely seeing several streaks of purple light mixed in.

"Thank goodness, although there's no gold like last time, it seems like there's more than one purple one."

Actually, Jianchuan Ju is a bit suspicious that the last time she was able to get a golden Summoning Scroll, was it a kind of SSR bonus for newbies in the ten-pull?

So he didn't have high expectations this time. He's already had more than one purple item, which is a huge success for him.

Ten prizes were lined up on the panel:

【Special Feature * Torrent】(Purple Item: Increases the power of water-attribute attacks while injured; the more injured the user is, the greater the power increase, up to a maximum of 100% increase in water-attribute attack power.)

[Technique Learning Item: Water Release: Water Flow Ring] (Purple Item: Water Release Ninjutsu. Forms hand seals to release a stream of water with healing effects, which can heal injuries to targets surrounded by the water. Using this technique in a watery environment conserves chakra.)

[Miracle Candy] (Purple item: Candy brimming with energy; consuming it can comprehensively enhance one's strength, constitution, chakra levels, and other attributes.)

[Good Healing Medicine] (Blue item: Can be taken internally or used externally, moderately restores the user's injuries.)

The other white items are: Magikarp Scale, Green Cube, MooMoo Cheese, Sakura Berry, Gold Nugget, and Salt.

Looking at the panel, Jianchuan Ju was slightly excited. Although there were no gold prizes, this time the prizes were obviously much more practical.

Without giving it much thought, Jianchuan Ju began taking out the prizes from the panel.

The first prize, [Special Feature*Torrent], caught him somewhat off guard.

[Special Feature*Torrent] was taken out as a ball of blue light, and before Jianchuan Ju could examine it closely, it quickly merged into his body.

Kanakawa Tachibana carefully sensed it and seemed to have gained a better understanding of the changes in water-attribute properties. However, perhaps because she wasn't injured, the changes weren't too noticeable.

"So, I now possess the turbulent properties?"

Jianchuan Ju looked strangely at the bewildered Lanzai in her arms.

Although I don't know Pokémon in great detail, I do know that the signature ability of the three Water-type starter Pokémon across generations is Torrent.

On the contrary, it was his own little frog, Lanzi.

Although they are also the classic Water-type starter Pokémon, after so many days of training and testing together, Tachibana Kenkawa guesses that their hidden ability is "Alteration".

The effect of [Trait*Torrent] is simply to increase the power of water-type attacks.

Currently, let alone water-attribute attacks, I haven't even mastered a single water-style ninjutsu.

Besides, reality isn't a game; getting injured can affect your combat ability.

Am I supposed to perform ninjutsu while coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground?

The original owner's father, being a Chunin, should have known a few Water Release techniques. Her mother, while not a formal ninja working at the Hidden Mist Hospital, also possessed some basic healing ninjutsu.

However, the two had died in battle several years ago, leaving behind only the house, compensation, and the three ninjutsu scrolls: [Water Clone], [Hidden Mist Technique], and [Healing Technique].

Tachibana Kanagawa has only just begun to learn these three ninjutsu on his own, and currently he has only mastered the basic Three Body Techniques taught at the Ninja Academy.

Moreover, among the three ninjutsu, only the [Water Clone] technique might have some water-attribute attack effect.

"Increasing the attack power of your water clone by injuring yourself is just too stupid."

However, since the special ability was directly integrated into her body, Tachibana Kanakawa had some guesses about the prize to come.

As expected, when the [Move Learning Device: Water Release: Water Ring] was taken out of the panel, the learning device, which should have been in the shape of a disc, turned into a light blue scroll about the size of a forearm.

After Jianchuan Ju took the scroll in his hand, his mind was instantly flooded with knowledge of the hand seals, usage techniques, and principles of the ninjutsu [Water Release: Water Flow Ring].

At the same time, Tachibana Kanagawa also learned that he currently only has mastered the basic application of this ninjutsu, and if he draws the same skill in the future, he can enhance the effect of the ninjutsu.

Of course, practicing diligently or improving one's skills can also increase the power of ninjutsu; the two can be combined.

[Ding! You have mastered a Water Release ninjutsu, unlocking the achievement "Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"]

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

The sudden system notification interrupted Jianchuan Ju's thoughts.

"What the hell is this achievement? I clearly learned Water Stream Ring! So spitting counts as Water Release? Does that mean my Torrent ability hurts more when I spit on someone when I'm seriously injured???" Tachibana Kanagawa sighed and facepalmed.

"But a new prize pool has been unlocked. So, the unlock condition for the new prize pool is mastering the corresponding attribute ninjutsu?" Tachibana Kanagawa thought with some uncertainty.

"Because the original owner had already mastered the Three Body Techniques without any elemental affinity, I started with a banner featuring characters with normal attributes."

Looking at the lottery panel that was just opening, there were still three prize pools.

However, the beginner pool has already disappeared after the 20-pull discount. The current three pools are the Normal type UP pool, the Water type UP pool, and the ? ? pool.

"Pokémon have so many more types than ninjas, and where am I supposed to learn ninjutsu like Dragon, Psychic, and Dark types?"

"Furthermore, the Ninja Academy teaches basic combat techniques, and even has a special swordsmanship course due to the unique characteristics of Kirigakure. Why hasn't the combat-related reward pool been unlocked?"

It seems the system still needs further research.

"Forget it, with my current skill level and amount of gold coins, I don't need to worry about these things for now."

Jianchuan Ju abandoned further research into the system mechanism and tried to hand the reel to Lanzi.

However, Lan Zai said that he did not directly learn this water escape technique.

Is it a one-time thing? Or is it only I who can instill this learning?

Upon opening the ninjutsu scroll I had just drawn, I was surprised to find that there was indeed text inside, detailing the release method and operating principle of this ninjutsu.

"In that case, other people can also learn this ninjutsu through practice? That's good news."

Then, Jianchuan Ju looked at the scroll unfolded on the ground and slightly twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Although I haven't played many Pokémon games, what's with the TM disc being a reel?! This localization is thorough enough."

"If both special abilities and moves are usable."

Having seen the examples of the first two prizes, Jianchuan Ju looked at the [Magic Candy] in her hand after reopening the claiming interface, and without much thought, casually tossed it into her mouth.

"really!"

As the [Miracle Candy] melts in your mouth.

Jianchuan Ju clearly felt that his chakra limit was slowly increasing. He didn't feel the improvement in his physical fitness as much, but since the system description mentioned it, it must have increased as well.

"Although there's no data to show it directly, it should just mean the level has increased by one."

Jianchuan Ju clenched her fist slightly.

"(σ｀д′)σ quack~?"

Lanzi stared at the guy who was shamelessly throwing the candy he used to level up his Pokémon into his mouth, his big eyes filled with confusion.

"Haha, sorry, sorry. I just really need to improve my strength right now. I'll let you have a taste when I have more candy later."

He patted Lanzi's head to comfort the little frog, then took out the remaining props.

First, I gave the [Cherry Fruit] and [Green Cube] to Blue Boy.

"Don't be angry, have some wagashi (Japanese sweets) first."

Since the white items didn't have any system descriptions, and Jianchuan Ju didn't know their specific effects, he gave them to Lanzi, just like he did with the fruit he drew the last time.

[Green Cube] Blue Boy looked a little embarrassed, but he still swallowed it in one gulp with a frown.

Jianchuan Orange seems to remember now, the green square ones taste bitter.

However, the cubes should all provide some slight improvement in a certain aspect, so there shouldn't be any problems eating them.

Pokémon have a strong ability to distinguish food, and they don't just choose food based on taste.

The [Good Healing Medicine] is also good. I used the [Healing Medicine] I drew last time to test its effects. This time, I plan to keep it to see if I can research a formula.

After all, it has already been localized into a medicated ointment, so it might be feasible.

Jianchuan Ju was very satisfied to have drawn a [Golden Bead] from the white miscellaneous items. The actual item was about the size of a regular marble, and Jianchuan Ju planned to find an opportunity to sell it.

The original owner's parents died in battle and received regular pensions. Moreover, due to the strictness of the Blood Mist policy, Kirigakure placed great importance on the protection of war orphans and the distribution of pensions.

However, being a Chunin and medical personnel, Tachibana Kanagawa's current funds are only enough to cover his living expenses and basic training.

Jianchuan Ju is preparing to put away all the other miscellaneous items for now, hoping to discover other uses for them someday.

"This ten-pull was a huge win. The [Torrent] trait isn't very useful until I master offensive Water Release techniques, but since others might also be able to learn the [Water Release: Water Ring] ninjutsu, and it happens to be a healing ninjutsu, I can start making other plans for graduating from the Ninja Academy."

Jianchuan Ju glanced at the little frog beside her, who was busy tidying up.

"I have all the special abilities and skills, and even [Rare Candy] works on me."

"So who exactly is the Pokémon?!"
