Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 47 A Tricky Enemy

As always, he started with a shuriken attack to cover Zabuza's surprise attack.

However, perhaps because she had just been ambushed by Kakashi, Aya was very vigilant at this moment.

Although Tachibana and the other two were extremely careful in their sneak attack, she still managed to dodge it in a sorry state.

Casually tossing the still unconscious Uchiha Obito aside, Caique warily drew her twin swords and looked at the two of them.

The two people who suddenly appeared did not interrupt the battle between Bao Gui and Kakashi, but they made them more wary while they were fighting.

Caique coldly glanced at the mist-concealed headbands of Jianchuan Ju and the other person.

"Ninja from Kirigakure? What are you doing here rescuing Konoha brats?"

"cut."

Having already set his sights on his opponent, Zabuza completely ignored the question, quickly forming hand seals to unleash his clone technique and launch another attack.

At the same time, Tachibana Kanagawa also cooperated with Lan Zai to use the "Water Gun Enhanced Shotgun Satellite Shuriken Style 1", with the water flow carrying the high-speed spinning shuriken, which was rapidly shot towards Cai Que.

Seeing that the two brats ignored her words and continued to attack, Caique became even more furious.

"Die, you brat! Whirlwind!"

As the colorful bird roared, it simultaneously swung its two swords crossed in front of its chest, sending two streams of air flying out at high speed as they spun on the blades.

What initially appeared to be a relatively ordinary airflow rapidly expanded and became violent after leaving the longsword.

In an instant, the howling tornadoes, like two angry dragons, violently rushed towards Tachibana and Zabuza.

Water guns, shuriken, clones—all attacks in the tornado's path were dispersed by the powerful whirlwind.

Seeing this, the two dodged quickly, trying to avoid being swallowed by the hurricane. However, the hurricane was too fast, and the two could only protect their chests with their arms as they were swept up and thrown into the air by the tornado.

Zabuza was relatively lucky; after being blown a distance, the wind gradually subsided. He managed to regain his balance in the air and land safely.

Seeing that she couldn't dodge the oncoming tornado, Jianchuan Ju grabbed Lanzi and pulled him into her arms.

Then it was swept up by the gale, like a kite with a broken string, and crashed hard into the thick tree trunk behind it.

The sharp pain in her arms and back kept Jianchuan Ju from losing consciousness. She raised her hand to wipe the blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

Unexpectedly, his right hand was cut by the shuriken, whether by the strong wind or by the gust of wind that blew back. This cut made the blood at the corner of his mouth even more, making him look somewhat ferocious.

Tachibana Kanakawa felt a lingering fear. If her luck had been any worse, and the shuriken blown away had struck a vital point, she might have been directly affected by the [Aura Belt]'s anti-instant-death effect, suffering a severe injury and falling into a coma.

Unexpectedly, the opponent's attack was so strong. However, Jianchuan Ju really couldn't remember how the main characters in the original work defeated this minor character who wasn't even a mini-boss.

Despite the pain, Tachibana Kenkawa gave Zabuza a wink in the distance, and without waiting for him to understand, she flipped over and hid behind a big tree.

Seeing her victory, the rainbow sparrow, who had blown the two away with a single blow, did not continue to pursue. Instead, she lightly clasped her two swords together and stood there, mocking them with a disdainful expression.

"Ninjas? A ninja without excellent ninja tools is nothing! My Peacock Flying Twin Swords can control the gale with almost no consumption; your attacks are insignificant before this ninja tool!"

Zabuza, who had been hiding behind a boulder after receiving a signal from Tachibana Kenkawa, was about to attack again when he heard Aya's taunt.

As soon as Zabuza showed his face, two high-speed wind blades grazed his cheeks.

After the wind blade flew past Zabuza, it relentlessly sliced ​​through a large swath of bamboo forest and roared away, leaving Zabuza with no choice but to retreat behind the boulder once more.

Ignoring Caique's words, Jianchuan Ju endured the pain and formed hand seals to release the "Water Flow Ring" to heal her wounds.

Lanzi, who had been silent to the side, saw his master get hurt so badly while protecting him and a look of determination appeared in his eyes.

Before Jianchuan Ju could finish treating him, Lanzai's short figure transformed into a streak of blue light and used his full power in "Lightning Flash" to rush towards where Caique was standing.

"Snap!"

"Snap!"

"Snap!"

The sound of continuous footsteps echoed through the dense forest. After long training, Lan Zai had long been accustomed to using obstacles to increase the speed of "Lightning Flash" in this complex terrain.

Upon hearing the sound, Jianchuan Ju realized that Lanzai had rushed out and hurriedly got up. Before she could even take a step, she saw that Lanzai had already rushed up to Caique.

"Phew~~"

Another gust of wind blew out, sending Lanzi, who was almost at the enemy's doorstep, flying back again.

Fortunately, Lan Zai was small in size and weight and was not seriously injured. Jian Chuan Ju caught Lan Zai with a leap and then quickly hid.

Seemingly embarrassed and angry because she had almost been ambushed, Caique appeared somewhat embarrassed and angry.

With a series of swift movements, countless wind blades and tornadoes swept through the entire bamboo forest.

A large number of trees and bamboo were cut down and swept away, and a large open space was cleared in just a short time.

During this time, Tachibana Kenkawa and Zabuza also made several attempts.

However, close-range attacks are blown away, and ranged attacks are scattered by the gale. Even attempts to attack from blind spots are repeatedly unsuccessful because the opponent only needs to turn around and retaliate.

Even though Tachibana Kenkawa was willing to expend chakra to unleash his charged "Flying Water Shuriken" in a waterless environment, his attack was deflected by the giant tornadoes released by the opponent's three consecutive swings, and he failed to hit the target.

Furthermore, while their attacks were ineffective, the two also had to be constantly wary of high-speed wind blade attacks, as a single misstep could leave them with a deep, bone-revealing wound.

Seeing that the opponent was unleashing such powerful attacks frequently, it seemed that the opponent really had no energy left. Jianchuan Ju had no choice but to call Ranzi to reunite with Zabuza.

Fortunately, the two had roughly figured out the opponent's attack range. Although they couldn't attack the enemy, they weren't afraid of being chased down by the opponent.

"How could a place like Takumi Ninja Village have such a strong guy!"

Zabuza glared hatefully at the wary Sparrow in the distance and said through gritted teeth.

At least Jianchuan Ju has several ranged attacks, and Lanzai's small size and high speed also make the enemy dare not be careless.

He himself was completely suppressed. The Hidden Mist Technique was somewhat countered by this kind of powerful Wind Release, the Water Dragon Bullet consumed too much chakra in a waterless environment, and it might not be much better than Tachibana's "Flying Water Shuriken," and he couldn't get close to her with taijutsu at all.

It was truly incredibly frustrating!

"There's more than just this one guy."

While giving Zabuza a quick treatment, Tachibana pursed her lips and gestured for him to look in the other direction.

The occasional towering pillars of fire shooting out from there clearly indicated that Kakashi Hatake's opponent was not easy to deal with.

However, due to mutual wariness, both sides have been intentionally or unintentionally increasing the distance between the battlefields, so the specific details of the battle on the other side can no longer be seen.

"I never imagined that the ninjas of the Land of Craftsmen could be so strong with their ninja tools."

Hearing Zabuza's complaint, Tachibana chuckled.

"Now you know just how trashy the Executioner's Blade really is, right?"

Seeing that things had come to this, Tachibana still had the mood to make fun of herself, which made Zabuza a little annoyed.

"Does that mean a long knife and stitches would be any better?"

When Zabuza asked this question, Tachibana Kenkawa revealed a rather strange smile.

"I've thought of a method that we could give."
