Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 303 Bonds! Evolution!

Holding Lan Zai, Jianchuan Ju rushed into the Mist Concealment Technique and, protected by two Ice Flame clones, quickly began to treat him.

They used every means at their disposal: wound medicine, thawing medicine, soldier rations, and healing ninjutsu.

Seeing their owner suddenly become flustered and lose his composure.

The little frog felt both helpless and somewhat touched.

Actually, Lanzi's injuries weren't too serious; the impact from Jianchuan Ju had already dissipated a lot of the force during the mid-air collision.

On the contrary, the frostbite caused to Lan Zai by the icy flames of his own Flame White Mode was slightly more severe.

This is why Tachibana Kanagawa was somewhat flustered.

"Quack~ (ο｀)"

Lanzi stretched out his little hand and gently comforted Jianchuan Ju.

When Jianchuan Ju saw that her little frog seemed to be really alright, she was relieved.

However, Lanzi's appearance just now, with vomiting blood and multiple frostbite wounds, was indeed quite pitiful.

Only then did Tachibana begin taking medication to replenish her chakra and heal her injuries.

Feeling the messages transmitted back from the ice flame clones that were being shattered from time to time outside, Tachibana Kanakawa was also having a headache.

He had never experienced such a situation where he could squander chakra at will before, so naturally he had no experience of creating so many clones at once.

Jianchuan Ju never even considered it.

When the clones are destroyed at the same time, the information transmitted back will be so chaotic.

This caused him to lose focus for a moment on the battlefield and be caught off guard by Hiruzen Sarutobi's sneak attack.

Fortunately, this was just a mistake due to lack of experience.

For Jianchuan Ju, who used to have system achievement notifications pop up at any time even during battles, and who had experienced countless infusions of massive amounts of system knowledge.

The previous two information surges were enough for him to adapt to this situation.

There's no need to worry about being unable to use this massive clone technique on the battlefield.

"However, the Ice Flame Clone is indeed a bit weak."

Jianchuan Ju rubbed her temples helplessly.

Because the "Ice Flame Clone" cannot inherit its many characteristics and the acupoint enhancement, it only has the basic qualities of Tachibana Kanagawa and half of its chakra.

He could be considered at most an ordinary Jonin who had mastered White Release, or perhaps even slightly weaker.

When facing powerful figures like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru, if it weren't for the 'Absolute Zero' technique, which allows for mutual destruction, it could only serve as a restraining force.

Using too many clones to "self-destruct" might also cause the risk of accidentally injuring "own people".

"Forget it, why make things so complicated when dealing with these two guys!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru at this stage are both Kage-level characters with a wide variety of skills, but their limits can be seen at a glance.

In this battlefield environment, given Tachibana's speed and recovery ability, he could wear these two down even if he had to wait it out.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have confidently said before the war that he would handle all the enemy's strongmen.

Now all we need to do is figure out how to deal with the other party as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, Tachibana Kanagawa stood up and prepared to go out and continue the previous battle.

However, Lan Zai behind him suddenly grabbed the hem of his clothes.

Looking back, I was surprised to see an unprecedentedly strong fighting spirit in the little guy's eyes.

However, Tachibana Kanakawa hesitated.

His current combat style is indeed not suitable for cooperating with teammates.

Even the other ninjas in the Hidden Mist Squad were told before the battle to stay away from the area where Tachibana Kenkawa was located.

However, just as he was about to cruelly refuse.

Looking into the little guy's eyes, Tachibana Kanagawa's heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

"Bang bang bang~"

As her heart pounded, Tachibana Kanagawa seemed to be able to feel the heartbeat of her most loyal companion.

"Bang bang bang~"

The deafening sound of my heartbeat seemed to fill my entire body.

My heart is pounding, and the two of us seem to be in sync at this moment.

Jianchuan Ju subconsciously reached out and grasped Lanzi's small hand.

"Bang bang bang~"

"Blazing White Mode! Activate!"

"Blazing White Mode! Activated!"

As the words fell.

A surge of white flames rapidly emerged from between the palms of the man and the frog, and then rose into the air.

In the blink of an eye, it spread rapidly outwards, completely enveloping and covering Jianchuan Ju and Lanzai.

"boom!"

Pure white flames shot into the sky, and endless waves of icy air burst out from the center, cracking the earth and blowing away all the surrounding mist, revealing the bright sunlight and the white flames shining together.

next moment.

The flames rapidly contracted inward, the airflow reversed, and the sky became still.

If it weren't for the glistening snowflakes constantly falling from all around, it would seem that everything before was just a figment of the imagination.

However, unlike before.

After the flames contracted, Jianchuan Ju simply entered the Flame White Mode.

However, Lan Zai's appearance has changed drastically.

The little frog, which used to be a mix of dark blue and pale yellow, is now completely covered in flawless pure white, except for a slightly darker gray cross that extends from the center of its forehead to the bridge of its nose.

The egg-yolk yellow joints at the elbows and knees were now engulfed in white flames.

Even the two previously wing-like ears have transformed into the shape of blazing flames.

Behind him, there was also a huge cross-shaped ice flame shuriken.

"Bond Evolution!!" x2

The two ice flame clones that had been guarding Jianchuan Ju stared in disbelief at the scene before them and shouted in unison.

However, at this moment, Jianchuan Ju, who was already in sync with Lanzi, showed no surprise whatsoever.

At this moment, Jianchuan Ju could clearly feel that she and Lanzi had not only entered a state of mental synchronization, but their tacit understanding had also exceeded 100%.

The chakra, speed, strength, and other attributes of both the human and the frog were all boosted in sync.

Even the stamina that Jianchuan Ju had consumed due to the continuous battles without closing the 'pressure point' technique was mostly replenished by Lanzi.

And deep down, Tachibana Kanagawa also clearly realized that this shared frequency was not a one-time event.

As long as this state is maintained, each interaction between the person and the frog will allow them to redistribute their respective energy expenditures.

With the "Sword of Regret," Jianchuan Ju, who is practically a perpetual motion machine on the battlefield, can endlessly supply chakra and stamina to Lanzai.

At the same time, Lan Zai's unparalleled and terrifying speed further enhanced Jianchuan Ju's attributes.

Feeling each other's surging fighting spirit, the man and the frog smiled at each other.

"Come on, comrades! We can fight together again!"

Yes, that's right~ Orange! ╰(*︶`*)╯

"Bang!"

The two explosions merged into one, and the white flames around the man and the frog instantly burst backward.

Immediately, the two figures accelerated, transforming into two white fire meteors that left long trails of flame as they broke through the mist and disappeared.

The two ice flame clones that were previously responsible for guarding the area remained in place.

Watching the white flames streak across the ground, leaving behind two parallel paths of icy coldness.

They couldn't help but exchange a glance, looking at each other in bewilderment.

He immediately realized what was happening and quickly ran after them.

"Wait! I haven't gotten on the bus yet!" x2

Um, let me explain why clones cannot inherit traits.

The book clearly states that the Wood Clone is different from other clones because it is created by splitting some cells within the body.

This is why the wood clones don't shatter at the slightest touch, and why Madara Uchiha could use the clones to create Susanoo (although we don't know why the Edo Tensei body has cells).

The Ice Flame Clone I've created is somewhere between a Shadow Clone and a Wood Clone.

It is more robust than a regular clone and can use the Flame White Mode and White Release, which are inherent to Ice Flame. However, it lacks traits such as 'Danger Premonition', 'Sharp Eyesight', and 'Pressure Point Enhancement'.

Unless the protagonist can develop "Wind Wings" into a ninjutsu, it will not be possible in the future.

Probably that's it.

Then, regarding the matter of consciousness transmission, these clones were originally designed to serve a reconnaissance function, and information would be transmitted back when the clones dissipated.

If the protagonist is unfamiliar with the situation and several clones are destroyed at the same time, resulting in a large amount of information being transmitted back, he should be able to accept it even if he is not used to it.

I know nobody likes seeing the main character get the short end of the stick, but could you please refrain from criticizing me for Lan Zai's sake? T
