Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 553 Xerneas's Branch (Third Update! Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

Immortal Magic*Fairy Lock.

"What Fairy Chains? This is just the Adamantine Lockdown... ::"

After receiving the knowledge, Jianchuan Ju muttered a complaint in a low voice.

And indeed, after the hand seals were formed and the move was released, the blue magical energy cloak around his body surged instantly, transforming into blue and gold energy chains that shot out rapidly and slammed into the ground.

If there are hostile targets in front of you, you will inevitably be firmly entangled by these chains.

"Thank goodness it's a blue and gold chain. If they had given me a pink chain, I'd be so embarrassed..."

In fact, Tachibana Kenkawa can achieve a similar effect even without using the "Fairy Lock".

Since the structure of "Water Release: Sage Mode" is somewhat similar to the "Sage Fox Mode" that Naruto used at the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, the chakra cloak itself can transform into various shapes.

Previously, Tachibana Kanagawa had frequently used his chakra cloak to extend a giant arm and smash Zabuza.

At this moment, the energy chains created by the "Fairy Chains" are more robust than those of chakra transformation, and they also have the effect of interfering with and suppressing the enemy's chakra. In reality...

"Hmm, looking at it this way, it does seem to have improved quite a bit."

Kanakawa Tachibana stroked her chin, thinking to herself.

But since I used a blue-gold chain, if Kisame used it, wouldn't it really be a pink iron chain?

No, that's not right. Kisame has no foundation in sealing techniques at all, so he might not be able to learn this move at all.

Sigh, as expected, not everyone is an all-around genius like me!

Jianchuan Ju, quite smugly, carefully put away the "Fairy Lock" scroll, and then happily took out the two blue items behind it.

"Fairy feathers and fairy gems, they both seem like pretty good things. It's a pity that these things can't be mass-produced. Let's just give them to Grandpa Frostmoon and have him make a necklace or something."

To be honest, this level of stuff doesn't offer much of an improvement to the current Jianchuan Orange.

The "Fairy Feather" accelerates the absorption of natural energy, and Tachibana Kanagawa can instantly enter Sage Mode, so the speed at which he absorbs natural energy is of no use to him.

The increase in the power of the immortal techniques seems acceptable.

However, in reality, Jianchuan Ju's current output is in a state of severe overflow.

Even the "Absolute Zero" technique is rarely used in his White Escape state anymore; in most situations, "Frozen Fist" is sufficient.

Similarly, the "Fairy Gem" can store fully fused Sage Chakra, which significantly improves the duration of "Sage Mode" in actual combat.

However, once Tachibana Kanagawa's "Water Release: Sage Mode" is activated, it is a "semi-permanent" state, so there is no need for the troublesome operation of storing Sage Chakra in advance and then extracting it to maintain his own endurance.

As for the fact that the gem would break after its energy was extracted, as mentioned in "Fairy Gem," Tachibana Kanagawa didn't seem to care much.

Shimotsuki Ichiro had already accumulated enough experience in modifying the former "divine spear".

Both the "Flying Gem" and the "Water Gem" were transformed into reusable components by Shimotsuki Ichiro.

It's just that Jianchuan Ju now has a better "White Jade Pearl" on his divine spear, so it has been left idle.

After modifying both of these items for Shimotsuki Ichiro, Tachibana Kenkawa plans to give them directly to Kisame Hoshigaki for him to use first.

There's nothing we can do about it; right now, in Kirigakure, besides Tachibana Nagakawa himself, only Kisame Hoshigaki has mastered Sage Mode.

"Why don't we just give the Flying Gem and the Water Gem to Old Master Shimotsuki? Maybe he can forge another powerful ninja sword."

While thinking this through her mind, Jianchuan Ju took out and organized the other odd and ends of white items from the panel one by one.

Things like "The Little Blacksmith's Hammer," "Mini Q's Jacket," and "Xerneas's Branch"...

This mess...

"Huh? Wait a minute!! What's that?? Whose branch is that??"

As Jianchuan Ju was gathering the white items one by one, she stared blankly at the ordinary-looking tree branch in her hand.

Although the name only flashed by briefly when the item was taken out, Tachibana Kanagawa is certain that she did not misread it.

"But...divine beasts can also appear among white items...uh, what is this tree branch? Is it a material?"

Jianchuan Ju couldn't figure out how this branch was any different from the other white objects, no matter how much she looked at it.

Although after probing the branch with chakra and sage energy one by one, it was found that the branch had excellent energy transfer properties, other white items obtained earlier also had similar effects.

This was the first time he had ever drawn materials from a divine beast, let alone that they were among white items.

"X God's tree branch? Does it refer to the antlers on his head? But the hardness doesn't seem right?"

Kanakawa Tachibana carefully pinched one end of the branch, though she didn't want to crush it too hard.

However, it can still be roughly sensed that the hardness of this branch is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary trees, and it is still unknown whether it can exceed the hardness of his own Wood Release.

"So, what's the point of this thing? It can't just grow into a X-God by planting it in the ground, can it?"

Kanakawa Tachibana tried to continue channeling more magical energy into the branch, but the branch still did not react.

Logically speaking, even ordinary trees, as long as they still have some vitality, should sprout new buds under such a large infusion of magical energy.

But it's unclear whether it's because this "Xerneas branch" has such excellent energy conductivity...

The sage energy channeled into the tree branch flowed through it as smoothly as if it were passing through a piece of chakra metal.

No changes occurred.

"Hiss~ Such good conductivity, it would be great for a weapon grip."

Jianchuan Ju gasped slightly.

Of course, he was just saying that.

Since it was his first time drawing materials from a divine beast, he was definitely going to study them carefully and use them to make a weapon handle or something; that would be an absolute waste of a precious resource.

However...

While Kirigakure's biotechnology level isn't exactly appalling, it's certainly not that great either.

Even someone as medical ninja as Kenkawa Tachibana, who can hardly be considered a researcher, can be considered the pinnacle of biological research in Kirigakure.

When Jianchuan Ju handed this over to those "insects" in the village, he had absolutely no expectations.

Perhaps we could try collaborating with Orochimaru? He's a bit of a freak, but he's definitely arguably the best scientist in the ninja world, especially in biology.

It's about character and trustworthiness.
