Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 487 The Growth of My Companions

At Tachibana's command, Zabuza and Mei Terumi, who were standing beside him, immediately activated their Body Flicker Technique.

In the blink of an eye, their figures vanished from their original spots, leaving behind only two empty, thick cloaks that slowly fell to the ground.

The two figures, one in front of the other, rushed quickly towards the so-called Xuanyuan Clan opposite them.

Meanwhile, Mei Terumi, whose figure was hidden behind Zabuza, had already completed hand seals at some point.

"Lava Release: Melting Monster Technique!"

A large amount of pale yellow, sticky liquid was spat out of Mei Terumi's mouth, passing over Zabuza's head as he charged forward, and splashing all over the five people in front of her.

Zabuza, who was charging ahead, naturally wouldn't remain idle.

Zabuza suddenly clasped his hands together, focusing his mind.

A surge of purplish-black energy, brimming with malevolent energy, suddenly erupted from his body, enveloping him.

Immediately afterwards, as the purplish-black energy surged twice, five tentacle-like energy beams shot out.

Like five long, purplish-black snakes winding through the air, they shot forward.

He actually wanted to bind all five people in front of him to the spot at the same time.

However, since the five people on the other side dared to hunt down the Mizukage, they were certainly not easy opponents.

Faced with the combined attack of Zabuza and Mei Terumi, the five of them instantly and in perfect unison flashed away from their original positions.

They might even be able to launch a counterattack.

The green-clad man and the purple-clad man standing on the far sides had more room to dodge and were the first to leave the area covered by Terumi Mei's Lava Release.

The two simultaneously formed hand seals.

Accompanied by the sizzling, corrosive sound of the "Melting Monster Technique" hitting the ground.

Water and fire dragons erupted simultaneously, entangling Zabuza as he charged forward.

Strangely, the two chakra dragons, which should have been incompatible, did not interfere with each other at all.

The two sides are clearly separated, like an intertwined red and blue Tai Chi spiral, rushing forward at high speed.

Facing the oncoming twin dragons of water and fire, Zabuza showed no sign of panic.

The five purplish-black chakra tentacles that had shot out and missed their target quickly retracted and shortened.

Then it clenched and contracted like a giant hand of energy.

The water and fire dragons were instantly squeezed together.

"boom!"

A deafening roar.

The two dragons, which had come on strong, were instantly crushed.

The surging airwaves expanded rapidly, causing Zabuza's hand, formed from his tailed beast cloak, to grow several times larger.

Even so, Zabuza still firmly held the explosion in his grasp.

As the explosion subsided, a cloud of hot, white steam hissed out from the palm of the Tailed Beast Cloak.

As if nothing had happened, all was calm again.

Seeing this, Tachibana Kanagawa chuckled and reminded Mei Mei from behind.

"Mei, Zabuza's strength has improved quite a bit lately, you can't fall behind like this~"

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi, who was charging forward, stumbled and then didn't turn around to look at Tachibana Kenkawa.

All that could be heard was a faint snort from her mouth before she began forming hand seals again to release her ninjutsu.

Seeing that the two were having a good time, Jianchuan Ju didn't intend to intervene.

He didn't mind at all, and simply sat cross-legged in the snow, propped his chin up, and watched the others perform.

This so-called Xuanyuan Clan, despite being a small team of only five, actually has quite a few tricks up their sleeves.

Leaving aside the purple-clad Water Release and the green-clad Fire Release, the blue-clad Earth Release ninjutsu is surprisingly geared towards stealth and assassination.

The one in red seemed to be the leader, and his "Insect Manipulation Technique" was in no way inferior to that of the insect tamers of the Aburame clan.

Finally, the young man in yellow even possessed a "shadow technique" similar to that of the Nara clan.

Using a technique somewhat similar to Jiraiya's "Toad Shadow Manipulation Technique," he was even able to blend into someone else's shadow to launch a sneak attack.

"Aside from lacking spatial abilities, it seems quite similar to my stealth attack, doesn't it?"

Just as Jianchuan Ju was thinking this, he suddenly scratched his head, somewhat speechless.

'Okay, it seems far from it.'

The young man in yellow flattened his figure, blended into the shadow, and moved swiftly across the ground.

The dark figure circled the ground, rapidly closing in on Zabuza's back to launch a sneak attack.

As a result, Zabuza, who was originally dealing with the others, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head.

He quickly turned around.

At the same time, the pitch-black chakra energy in his hand rapidly condensed into sharp claws.

The Shadow Claw swung towards the ground in an instant.

Before the yellow-clad man, who had blended into the shadows, could even get up from the ground.

Five scratch marks flashed by in an instant.

Then all I heard was...

A painful scream rang out.

Blood splattered everywhere.

The shadow above the ground immediately returned to its human form.

The young man in yellow twitched a few times on the ground before falling completely silent.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Mei Terumi also seemed to have gone all out.

Seeing that their attacks using the Lava Release technique were proving ineffective, they decided to continue their assault.

Mei Terumi leaped directly into the air, simultaneously forming hand seals with her hands.

"Boil Release: Skillful Mist Missile!"

As the words fell.

Four nearly solidified white mist balls were rapidly spat out of Mei Terumi's mouth one after another.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey~"

Because the white mist was compressed so tightly, it didn't drift or float like ordinary mist at all.

Instead, they shot towards "Little Purple" and "Little Green," who were constantly entangled with Mei Terumi, like four pebbles.

However, even with the firing speed of real stone missiles, it would be difficult for them to have any effect on a ninja with Jonin-level strength unless attacked from the side.

With a single dodge, "Little Green" easily dodged the white dumpling flying towards it.

"Little Purple" was even more fearless. He drew a kunai from his waist and swung it twice in quick succession, directly cutting down both missiles that were attacking him.

However, seeing this, Mei Terumi showed no sign of disappointment.

Instead, he revealed a mocking smile somewhat similar to that of Jianchuan Ju.

Followed by.

"Bang bang bang bang~"

Both the two white balls that were dodged by "Little Green" and smashed to the ground, and the two white balls that were cut down by "Little Purple", exploded at the same time.

The highly compressed white mist expanded and spread rapidly in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a large cloud of rising white mist, enveloping the two of them completely.

"Aaaaaaahhhhh~~"

A series of piercing screams came from the two of them.

However, the screams only lasted a moment before abruptly ceasing.

The extremely hot, corrosive mist melted the two people completely in the blink of an eye, turning them into a pile of mangled flesh, which collapsed helplessly on the ground.

In a short while, even this remaining fragment was completely corroded away by the remaining Boiling Mist.

Only a tiny, barely perceptible pool of blood remained, a testament to their existence.

The scene was extremely gruesome and terrifying.

Seeing this, the corner of Jianchuan Ju's mouth twitched involuntarily.

However, one can't help but secretly admire the true value of Mei Terumi's genius.

"Ming actually listened to what I said."
