Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 30 Counterattack

Kanakawa Tachibana sprayed a large amount of blood in the air, drawing an arc before crashing heavily to the ground, splashing up a large amount of water.

The intense pain did bring him to his senses somewhat.

Fish Demon thought his sneak attack would cut the brat in two, but he didn't expect the other party to be so perceptive and to have anticipated it.

However, now that the opponent was seriously injured, he naturally did not want to let this brat go. As soon as his figure, which had sprung up from the ground, landed on the ground, he immediately charged forward.

At that moment, a sharp dagger tore through the air and suddenly appeared in front of the fish demon.

Fish Demon instinctively stopped in his tracks, knocking the short knife in front of him away.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Zabuza had already dealt with the severed-armed Fish Tooth and was rushing to support his teammates.

Fish Ghost's eyes immediately widened in fury. Although his relationship with Fish Tooth was just average, the two of them had been assigned to manage the pirates at the same time and had spent several years on the same ship.

He might not care about the lives of other pirates, but Fish Tooth was different.

Fish Demon glanced at the fallen Tachibana in the distance, then gave up the pursuit and turned to charge at Zabuza.

Actually, Zabuza wasn't having an easy time either.

Although the pirate named Fish Fang had lost an arm in a sneak attack, he was still a Chunin specializing in taijutsu (body techniques). With other pirate henchmen also launching occasional ambushes, Zabuza found himself in a difficult situation.

Fortunately, the opponent lost his right arm, which prevented him from forming hand seals and performing ninjutsu, and also greatly reduced the power of his left-hand sword. In the end, Zabuza was able to kill him with only minor injuries.

Seeing the fish demon charging towards him in a fit of rage, even someone as stubborn as him dared not linger in battle. He awkwardly dodged the opponent's attacks.

On the other side, Tachibana Kanakawa, who had come to her senses, finally had a chance to check her injuries.

There was a wound nearly 20 centimeters long on his chest, deep enough to expose the bone, and the front of his clothes was completely soaked with blood.

For the first time, she felt the shadow of death so close, but the strongest emotion in Tachibana Kanagawa's heart was not fear, but rather a strong anger and destructive desire.

At this moment, all he wanted was revenge, and to destroy everything that threatened his life!

Having just dealt with the pirate henchmen, Lanzi saw his master injured and rushed over, picking up Jianchuan Ju's ninja tool pouch to search for medicine.

Ignoring the pain in her body, Jianchuan Ju grabbed some ointment and applied it haphazardly to stop the bleeding from her chest. Then she took out a few soldier's ration pills and threw them into her mouth.

Without even casting a healing spell on himself, he got up again and charged at the enemy.

Although Tachibana Kanagawa was incredibly angry, her mind was surprisingly clear. While running, she calculated her remaining chakra and rapidly considered ways to win under the current circumstances.

He then quickly formed hand seals, and a water clone immediately emerged from the water and stood beside him.

Tachibana Kanakawa did not stop, and together with her clone, threw several shuriken forward.

"Bluey, water gun, go all out!"

"Quack! (▼Van▼)===3"

A thick, rapidly spinning stream of water spewed from the mouth of Lan Zai, who was clinging to his back. It carried the shuriken towards the Fish Demon at an even greater speed.

Only then did the fish demon notice that the little ghost he had thought was seriously injured and on the verge of death had actually stood up.

However, he did not panic. He nimbly turned to the side to dodge the water jet attack, and at the same time, he kicked Zabuza, who was trying to sneak up on him, away.

However, this attack was not that simple.

These shuriken, carried at high speed by the water column, were flung out of the column during flight due to the rotation of the water itself, scattering around the column like satellites.

In an instant, the monotonous linear attack transformed into an area-of-effect attack.

Seeing this change, the fish demon remained calm and leaped up again, dodging all the shuriken attacks with his extremely strange posture.

Just then, a delicate shout came from afar.

Water Release: Water Whip

A long whip made of water swept in from afar, instantly binding the fish demon in mid-air.

Mei Terumi, who had arrived to help despite her injured leg, was nowhere to be seen.

Jianchuan Ju's eyes lit up immediately, but he still continued to issue orders.

"Bluey, foam mousse."

Immediately, the little frog began frantically tearing off the foam from its neck and throwing it at the fish demon that was entangled by the water whip.

The sticky "foam mousse" instantly covered the fish demon's entire body, firmly restricting its movements.

Seeing that the enemy was finally under control, Jianchuan Ju did not hesitate and quietly hid behind his own body.

Knowing he was in danger, the fish demon roared with a ferocious expression.

"Don't underestimate us, kids!"

Although his body shape restricted his attack angle, preventing him from using his pirate scimitar properly, Fish Demon still managed to twist his wrist and unleash a chakra wind blade.

A bluish-green blade of light emerged from the scimitar once more, instantly severing Mei Terumi's water whip and sweeping away some of the sticky foam with undiminished force.

However, due to the angle, the fish demon also cut itself.

Having had some of his restrictions lifted, the fish demon, disregarding his injuries, threw his curved sword at Tachibana Kanagawa.

"Snap!"

The water clone blocking the main body of Jianchuan Ju exploded into a splash of water, but the fish demon seemed to have expected it and roared angrily as if venting its anger.

"Water clone! I knew that all along!!"

After throwing the curved sword, the fish demon immediately began forming hand seals, preparing to use ninjutsu to defeat this self-righteous brat head-on.

However, after the water clone exploded, it wasn't Jianchuan Tachibana who came forward to launch a close-range sneak attack that was waiting for it.

A clear voice suddenly came from directly in front of the fish demon.

"You guessed right! Well then! Die!!"

At that moment, Tachibana Kenkawa's true form leaped high into the air, holding a giant, crystal-clear sailor shuriken in her right hand, which gleamed in the morning sunlight.

The water clones that burst open in front also transformed into several streams of water that merged into the sailor's shurikens, further enlarging its size.

Jianchuan Ju had already accumulated enough power, and his whole body was like a fully drawn longbow.

"Water Release: Flying Water Shuriken!!"

With a roar from Jianchuan Ju, he tensed up and swung his arms forcefully.

This giant flying shuriken, imbued with all his chakra, absorbed a large amount of water from the environment, and was enhanced by the [Torrent] characteristic attack power, was instantly released from his hand.

It sliced ​​through the air at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye, flying towards the fish demon with a violent spin.

"Sizzle—Sizzle—Boom—"

Because the attack range was too close, and because Tachibana was in the air, the flying shuriken struck the ground immediately after slicing through the fish demon.

Immediately, a huge column of water erupted on the already receding water surface.

The impact of the explosion sent Tachibana Kanagawa, who was closest to the explosion, and Zabuza, who was holding a kunai and preparing to launch a sneak attack, flying away together.

"Thump~" x2

Two thuds sounded in quick succession.

Mei Terumi, who had rushed over from a distance, first glanced at the fish demon, who was beyond dead, before dragging her injured leg to the two of them.

"Is it over?"

Both Tachibana and Zabuza, who were lying motionless on the ground, turned their gazes toward Mei Terumi.

"Okay, it's over."
