Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 6 Each Other's Plans

Seeing Saigyouji Keiko looking somewhat dazed after receiving the scroll, Tachibana Kenkawa found it slightly amusing.

What Jianchuan Tachibana gave was naturally not the original ninjutsu scroll that the system had drawn in a lottery.

Instead, it was a copy he rewrote last night based on the ninjutsu knowledge imparted by the system.

Compared to the original system scroll, this ninjutsu has a more detailed and clear explanation, and includes a lot of information on subsequent training directions, usage techniques, and so on.

The scroll written by Tachibana Kenkawa himself, though containing less content, is filled with many meaningless guesses and experimental processes.

The logic is generally sound, but it's more like a beginner who just happened to figure out a ninjutsu that he could use thanks to his talent.

Even with such a scroll, Saigyouji Keiko looked at it with surprise, occasionally glancing up at Kenkawa Tachibana.

"Did you develop this ninjutsu yourself?"

After glancing over the contents of the scroll, Saigyouji Keiko still asked in surprise.

"Of course, Aunt Keiko. I recently figured it out by accident while studying the Healing Techniques left by my mother and the cultivation notes left by my father. Although there was an element of luck involved, it was indeed developed by myself."

As he spoke, Jianchuan Ju also feigned a hint of pride on his face.

However, this isn't entirely untrue, since Tachibana Kanagawa has indeed been scratching her head over the training scroll left by her parents recently.

"It does resemble basic healing techniques, or more precisely, it involves using water flow to remotely transmit healing energy with a yang attribute."

"The advantages of this technique are very obvious. It's easy to learn, and I estimate its difficulty to be around a C-rank ninjutsu. Ordinary ninjas can master it without needing much knowledge of medicine. However, it also means it can't be used to treat injuries that require specialized medical knowledge, such as bone dislocations, nerve connections, or internal organ repair."

"Furthermore, chakra is conserved in water environments, but for ordinary medical personnel, water-attribute nature changes may be a hurdle."

As expected of the director of Kirigakure Hospital, Saigyouji Keiko had already gained a certain understanding of this ninjutsu after only a brief glance at the scroll, and Kenkawa Tachibana added to that.

"Aunt Huizi, this technique can be learned without medical knowledge and is used to treat minor injuries."

"But actually, if it is used by professional medical personnel, the effect will be better, because the control of the water flow can make the control of the healing energy more intuitive."

"Moreover, once you become proficient, if you can use a finer stream of water, you can even let the water flow directly into the body and reach the injured area."

Looking at Tachibana Kanagawa, whose smile seemed a little silly, she was talking non-stop.

Keiko Saigyouji looked slightly dazed. Had she inherited her mother's talent?

There was once a girl sitting in front of her, smiling and dreaming about the future development of medical ninjutsu.

This child is a genius in medical ninjutsu; we can't let him die in such a cruel exam.

With this thought in mind, Saigyouji Keiko's gaze gradually hardened.

"Little Orange, can you use this ninjutsu now?"

"certainly."

Upon hearing Tachibana's reply, Keiko Saigyouji conjured a sharp chakra scalpel in her right hand and made a cut on her left arm.

"Now, show me this ninjutsu once."

Jianchuan Ju looked somewhat helpless.

Although the other party wasn't a ninja, it's true that doctors in the ninja world are all ruthless.

Seeing that blood was already flowing from Saigyouji Keiko's arm, Kenkawa Tachibana could not delay any longer and immediately formed hand seals to release a ninjutsu.

However, in order to allow her to see more clearly, Tachibana Kenkawa slowed down the hand seals slightly.

【Water Release: Water Flow Ring】

As the hand seal was completed, the remaining water in the noodle soup in the bowl was drawn out by an invisible force, turning into a stream of clear water that flew above Jianchuan Ju's palm, forming a flowing water ring.

As the ring grew larger, it flew towards the wound on Saigyouji Keiko's arm again, and as the water flowed over it, the wound, which was not very deep to begin with, healed immediately at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Feeling the coolness on her arm, Saigyouji Keiko thought for a moment and then asked a question.

"This ninjutsu seems to only extract pure water, so bacteria from the natural environment won't infect the wound, right?"

Saigyouji Keiko clearly saw through Kenkawa Tachibana's intention in using noodle soup to perform ninjutsu.

"Yes, and chakra replenishes the lost moisture, so it can be used even in a completely dry environment."

"This ninjutsu is most effective against cuts and burns."

Seeing how well the treatment was working, Tachibana Kenkawa, fearing that Keiko Saigyouji might misunderstand, explained a little more.

Keiko Saigyouji already had a plan in mind.

"Little Orange, come back to the hospital with me. I have some medical notes from when I was young in my office. Take them back and study them carefully for a while. I'll arrange things for you to become a medical ninja."

As she spoke, Saigyouji Keiko lost her usual composure, threw down some noodles, and grabbed Kenkawa Tachibana to leave.

Seeing this, Jianchuan Ju had no choice but to scoop up Lanzi, who was still secretly eating shrimp from his bowl, and quickly followed after him.

However, what Tachibana Kanagawa didn't know was that at the same time the two rushed back to the hospital, in another corner of Kirigakure, there was another pair of people, one big and one small, having a conversation.

"Zabuza, have you thought about what I said before?"

A baby-faced ninja with green hair and purple eyes is looking seriously at Zabuza Momochi, who seems somewhat indifferent.

If any high-ranking ninja from Kirigakure were here, they would be utterly astonished.

Recently, Yagura Karatachi, a Jonin who has gained popularity among reformers and is on the verge of becoming a representative of commoner ninjas, seems to have something to ask of a boy who has not yet graduated from the ninja academy.

"This is not just my personal request. This kind of cruel graduation exam is constantly affecting the unity of the village, and many ninjas who may become the pillars of the village in the future are dying in this meaningless way."

"So you're telling me to kill all the students during the exam?"

Zabuza Momochi said, a disdainful sneer appearing on his face.

"This is a necessary sacrifice. I have proposed reforms to the Ninja Academy many times at the Jonin Conference. However, most ninjas and the Mizukage oppose it. If we don't do this, we won't be able to wake up the village."

In fact, Yagura knew that his suggestion would inevitably be rejected.

The Blood Mist Policy was first proposed by the Third Mizukage, so naturally no one was allowed to question his policy.

Among the Jonin, the majority are clan ninjas. Their own clan children do not attend ninja academies. They would rather see more civilian ninjas die, the fewer the better.

Even those few high-ranking ninja among the common people, if they didn't have children attending ninja academies, probably wouldn't mind if their current students experienced the same suffering they went through.

Therefore, every time the issue of reforming the Ninja Academy was proposed, it ended up being left unresolved.

Seeing that Zabuza didn't seem to care, Yagura had no choice but to continue.

"I promised you two ninjutsu techniques, one of which you can choose as a B-rank ninjutsu. And I will guarantee that you will graduate smoothly after the plan is completed. After you graduate, I will arrange one of my subordinates to be your mentor and guide your future training."

I want both of these ninjutsu techniques now.

In truth, Zabuza himself loathed the current Blood Mist policy and wanted to change the status quo of Kirigakure through his efforts.

However, that is ultimately his own choice.

Talking about ideals without providing any real benefits won't command him to stop killing his master in Momochi.

Seeing that Zabuza had agreed to his conditions, Yagura Karatachi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After all, Zabuza Momochi is recognized as the strongest student in this class. If someone else were to carry out this plan, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"No problem. You can tell me directly once you've chosen your ninjutsu. I'll arrange special training for you until the graduation exam, and these two ninjutsu will also enhance your strength."

"Tch~"

Although Zabuza quietly expressed his disdain, he did not reject Yagura's suggestion.

"I want the Water Dragon Bullet and the Mist Concealment Technique."

"Well, the Hidden Mist Technique isn't very suitable for dealing with ninjas from the same Hidden Mist Village, and the Water Dragon Bullet isn't very suitable either. I suggest you choose two different ninjutsu."

Upon hearing that Zabuza actually wanted these two ninjutsu, Yagura kindly reminded Zabuza.

However, Zabuza clearly didn't appreciate it and stared at Yagura Karatachi again.

"No need, these two ninjutsu will suffice."

Looking at this somewhat stubborn boy, Yagura Karatachi considered his strength and ultimately didn't say anything more, nodding in agreement to Zabuza's request.
