Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 68 Hengsong Steps?

One hour ago.

After a busy afternoon, Jianchuan Ju and Hengsong Bu were finally able to relax a little after seeing off another batch of wounded soldiers.

However, one of today's daily tasks happened to be "prepare 5 potions", so Jianchuan Ju could only force herself to walk to the potion station in the corner.

"Ju, aren't you going to take a rest?"

Seeing Tachibana's actions, Ayumu Komatsu seemed a little worried and gently asked her what was wrong.

"It's alright, Senior Hengsong. I'll prepare a few doses of antidote and then rest; it might come in handy on the battlefield later."

"Okay, then take care of yourself and get some rest. I'm going out for a walk to relax."

Seeing that Tachibana Kenkawa had already walked to the medicine station, Ayumu Komatsu did not try to stop him anymore, and lifted the curtain to walk out of the medical tent.

Although there are not as many people using poison on the battlefield in Konoha as in Sunagakure, and their poison-making skills are also much worse, it is still essential to prepare antidotes.

After all, Orochimaru, a snake expert, is on the other side. Recently, many wounded soldiers have been brought back after being accidentally bitten by snakes during infiltration.

The variety of snakes on the border of the Land of Fire is now incredibly diverse.

Those who are unlucky enough to be bitten by a highly venomous snake may die on the way. Those who are brought back are considered lucky and were not severely poisoned.

"Unfortunately, there are just too many types of toxins. Even with my skill level, the antidote I concoct can only suppress severe poisoning. But it's still better than dying on the spot."

As Jianchuan Ju muttered to herself, she prepared an antidote by comparing it with several toxins she had recently seen on the wounded.

This kind of work is not difficult for Jianchuan Ju now.

Many of the wound medicines and ration pills that the Green Squad is currently carrying were recently made by Jianchuan Ju. Today, they also made some antidotes in case of emergency.

As time passed, Jianchuan Ju, having finished preparing the potion, stood up and stretched. Looking at the finished product on the table, he was quite satisfied. He didn't just make five portions; instead, he made a few more.

"Let's send these medicines back first; it's not good to leave them here."

After thinking for a moment, Jianchuan Ju decided to go back to her team's tent to put down the medicine and rest for a while before deciding whether to come back to the medical team to help.

However, the rest area of ​​the Qing team was quite far from the medical tent, and it was not convenient to run at full speed in the camp, so Jianchuan Ju simply carried the medicine and slowly walked back.

After turning past a tent.

Suddenly, Jianchuan Ju saw a blonde figure with a ponytail squatting on the ground with his back to her.

"Hey, Gensō-senpai, what are you doing here?"

The person squatting on the ground was none other than Komatsu Ayumu, who had been treating the wounded with Kanagawa Tachibana not long ago.

Upon hearing the question, Ayumu Komatsu stood up and turned around. Seeing that it was Tachibana Kanekawa, he smiled and said...

"Yes, I saw a plant when I passed by here just now. I thought it was a medicinal herb, so I went closer to take a look, but unfortunately it was just an ordinary weed."

As he spoke, Hengsongbu held up a small blade of grass in his hand for Jianchuanju to see.

"Um, this looks like weeds, doesn't it? Senior Hengsong, you should get a pair of glasses."

Jianchuan Ju didn't approach it; she just glanced at it from afar and recognized it as a weed that could be found everywhere in the camp.

Hengsongbu was perhaps a little embarrassed, so he touched the bridge of his nose and gave a polite smile.

"Okay, maybe."

"Then Senior Hengsong, you continue searching for rare herbs. I still need to take the potion I just prepared back to the team."

After saying that, Jianchuan Ju raised the potion in her hand, slowly turned around and left, continuing to walk towards her team's tent.

only.

After walking steadily for a distance, Jianchuan Ju gradually quickened her pace, eventually approaching running speed.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!"

After running for a while, seeing that there were already quite a few other ninjas in the camp around him, Tachibana Kenkawa slowed down and bent down to catch his breath.

At this moment, Tachibana Kanagawa's back was completely soaked with cold sweat, and her heart was pounding wildly.

This is because, just as she walked behind the tent, Jianchuan Ju clearly saw a puff of white smoke briefly burst out in front of 'Jinsong Fubu' who was squatting.

At first, Tachibana didn't realize anything was wrong, but when the other person turned around and looked at her, Tachibana's "danger premonition" started to alarm wildly.

Its intensity was practically telling him straight out of the box.

"If we don't leave now, we'll die!"

Jianchuan Ju pressed her hand firmly against her violently heaving chest, recalling everything that had happened before.

"They're definitely not looking for some damn herbs; that plume of smoke is clearly the white smoke from a spirit summoning spell!"

"They're passing on intelligence!"

"Spy! Blonde hair! Gentle woman! Medical ninja! Oh yes, and glasses! Damn glasses!"

"A walking shrine maiden! What kind of bullshit is this, Tsunematsu Ayumu?! Isn't that just Yakushi Nonou?!"

The threat of death and the increased blood flow from the intense running stimulated Tachibana Kanakawa's brain to think rapidly.

Due to the difference between the manga style in my memory and the real person, and because the Pharmacist Nono, who is a spy, is not wearing the iconic nun's habit.

In addition, the other party took off their glasses and tied their hair into a ponytail to disguise themselves.

After so many days of contact, Tachibana Kenkawa had never considered the possibility that Kenkawa Kenkawa was a spy or a pharmacist named Nono.

If I hadn't forced myself to remain calm, and if the other party hadn't been worried about making too much of a commotion...

Given the intense warning from the "danger alert" and the disparity in strength between himself and his opponent, he was very likely already dead in that deserted corner.

Jianchuan Ju took a few more deep breaths and adjusted her expression slightly.

Without hesitation, he took a signal flare from his ninja tool bag and threw it into the air.

"boom--"

Instantly, the ninjas who had been chatting or patrolling just moments before all turned to look in the direction of Tachibana Kanagawa.

"Hey! Kid! What are you doing?"

"You brat, are you looking for death?"

"Dr. Jianchuan? What's wrong?"

These people had been in the vicinity for a while, and since no attacks had occurred, they naturally assumed that it was that brat Jianchuan Ju who was randomly throwing out signal flares.

Fortunately, someone recognized Jianchuan Ju's identity, preventing him from being pinned to the ground on the spot.

Ignoring the noise from those around her, Jianchuan Ju stood quietly in place.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

Several more figures instantly landed on the open ground. Among them were Jonin on patrol and high-ranking members of the camp.

"What's going on? Who fired the signal flare?" a patrolling Jonin asked.

All eyes turned to Tachibana Kenkawa, just as the patrolling Jonin was about to apprehend him for questioning.

"Whoosh~"

Two more people appeared in an instant; they were Ao and Suigetsu Hozuki.

"Ju? What happened?" Qing looked at the disciple who was surrounded by everyone with some confusion.

"Teacher Qing, I've discovered a spy!"
