Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 565 Envy! (Fourth update~)

For Tachibana Kanagawa, who possesses the Sharingan, it is natural that she can see the existence of chakra threads.

Therefore, the actions of the Jonin Urayasu just now surprised him even more.

The puppet I'm controlling is using me as a puppet to dodge attacks?

Watching the puppet retract its left arm and slowly return its hand to its original position, Tachibana Kenkawa couldn't help but admit that he had indeed underestimated this puppeteer who had been chosen by Rasa as his representative.

"High-tech bullet comments VS traditional shuriken bullet comments? Incredible!"

Kanakawa Tachibana stared at the somewhat clumsy-looking puppet with shining eyes.

With such a bulky figure, it was clear that not only her arms and hands had been modified, and even Jianchuan Ju was starting to feel a sense of anticipation.

What new tricks can this person come up with next?

However, what happened next was somewhat different from what Jianchuan Ju had imagined.

Once the smoke from both sides has completely dissipated.

After Maruboshi Kosuke's figure reappeared.

The tall, ashamed puppet raised its left arm once more.

However, perhaps because the ammunition had run out, the puppet's left fist did not fall off this time.

Instead, cracks suddenly started appearing on my forearm.

After a series of clicking sounds as the mechanisms turned, the outer shell of the puppet's arm opened up completely, like an octopus.

next moment.

Suddenly, the puppet's left forearm launched into the air, trailing a crimson tail of flame, and hurtled toward Maruboshi Kosuke, who had just revealed himself.

"Holy crap! A rocket punch?!"

The puppet's left fist flew out rapidly, like a missile, and in the blink of an eye it arrived in front of Maruboshi Kosuke.

"Boom!"

The deafening explosion echoed throughout the training ground.

A dazzling burst of flames shot into the sky.

The smoke and shockwaves generated forced many weaker ninja onlookers to cover their faces and retreat.

However, the other sharp-eyed Jonin noticed.

The instant the flames exploded, a thick wall of water quickly rose from the ground, blocking all the damage from the explosion.

Immediately afterwards, before the flames had completely dissipated.

Maruhoshi Kosuke's somewhat thin figure rushed out at high speed.

At the same time, he placed his hands in front of his body and quickly began to form hand seals.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

A torrent of water gushed from Maruhoshi Kosuke's mouth, instantly transforming into a ferocious water dragon that twisted and thrashed forward.

This time, Kosuke Maruboshi did not choose to target the puppeteer's main body first, but instead set his sights on the humanoid puppet that was closer to him.

The thick water dragon relentlessly bit into half of the puppet's body, sending the entire puppet flying into the sky.

As for Kosuke Maruboshi himself, he ignored the water dragon and puppet flying into the sky.

He drew the short sword from behind him and accelerated once more towards the distant Urakuyama Shun.

"Six seals~"

Looking at the water dragon in the sky, Jianchuan Ju smiled and muttered something under her breath.

The other ninjas from nearby villages hadn't reacted yet, assuming that the Mizukage was praising Maruboshi Kosuke's ninjutsu release speed.

However, Zabuza, who was standing behind Tachibana, turned ashen-faced upon hearing those three words.

Let's not mention Zabuza, who is currently gritting his teeth.

Urakuyama glanced at the enemy rushing towards him, then at the puppet still being carried into the air by the water dragon.

He retreated rapidly while his fingers trembled rapidly.

Then, with a "crack," a gash appeared on the back of the tall, monstrous figure in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, three smaller puppets, resembling infants, were quickly pulled by chakra threads.

It burst out of the large, ashamed puppet's belly.

The reason this puppet looked so large and bulky was because it contained three other puppets. This Urayama Jonin was not only highly skilled in puppet making, but was also a high-level puppeteer who could control four puppets at the same time.

After the three infant puppets detached from their original bodies, they rushed rapidly toward Maruboshi Kosuke with a "clattering" sound.

Despite the obvious sounds of the puppets behind him, Maruboshi Kosuke showed no intention of turning around.

As he lunged forward, the slender dagger in his hand swayed gently in front of him.

The blade, seemingly drifting slowly, looked extremely out of place with Maruhoshi Kosuke's ever-increasing charging speed.

But in the eyes of the puppeteer Urakuyama Jin, all that remained were the willow branches that were constantly fluttering.

Konoha Style: Willow!

next moment.

A white flash of light cut through the air.

Maruhoshi Kosuke, wielding a short sword, had already passed Urayama Jin and appeared behind him.

With a crisp "click," the blade returned to its sheath.

As Pu Shan Xun stood frozen in place, a very thin bloodstain slowly appeared on his neck.

The three puppet dolls that had been chasing after him had just landed and arrived in front of Pu Shan Xun.

Touching the strange sensation of warmth and coldness intertwined on his neck, Urashima Shun's hands fell limply to his sides.

"I lost!"

As the words fell, the four puppets, now out of control, scattered to the ground.

Urakuyama Jin knew, of course, that he was only alive because the other party had shown him mercy, and his strong sense of pride did not allow him to continue making futile struggles.

After hearing his opponent concede defeat, Maruhoshi Kosuke straightened his somewhat worn clothes and, as if nothing had happened, walked back to the center of the training field with a smile.

At this moment, a commotion arose from among the ninjas who were watching.

Clearly, even though Maruboshi Kosuke had already shown some of his strength, most people hadn't expected it.

This is how this competition will end.

"What a pity~"

Looking at Luo Sha, whose face was somewhat ashen, Jian Chuan Ju also smiled and teased him.

However, his "what a pity" was not entirely untrue.

It was indeed a pity that this Jonin from Urayamo lost.

Perhaps they underestimated Maruboshi Kosuke, an old man who wasn't very famous in the ninja world, or perhaps they wanted to save their trump cards to deal with the experts from other ninja villages.

Urakuyama Jin did not use all four of his puppets right away.

Otherwise, given his previous performance, he might not have lost to Maruboshi Kosuke.

At least we won't lose so hastily.

Of course, when Jianchuan Ju said "it's a pity," she meant it was more of a pity that this seemingly very thoughtful puppeteer was unable to fully demonstrate his puppetry skills.

With such amazing skills, why be a puppeteer? Come to Kirigakure, I'll build you a military factory and make you the factory manager!

The kunai machine guns that Kirigakure obtained from the Sky Ninja have now been upgraded to the fifth generation of technology, thanks to the efforts of Tachibana Kenkawa.

However, these improvements are still upgrades and modifications based on the original foundation.

Even with some half-baked knowledge and suggestions from my previous life provided as a reference for the development of related new products,

The overall progress remains appalling.

Moreover, the puppeteers' technical skills are clearly not limited to developing weapons.

Therefore, when Kanagawa Tachibana sees Sunagakure so recklessly squandering its precious resources, he is truly envious.

Should we secretly recruit some puppeteers back? But I doubt there are many Sunagakure ninjas left who can create high-level puppets.
