Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 90 Multifunctional Water Prison

Nothing happened that night, and the trio slept in as usual the day after returning from their mission to recharge.

The three of them didn't get up until noon, and they were only forced to wake up because their stomachs started to protest and they had to get up to replenish their energy.

After getting up, Tachibana Kanagawa looked at her clothes, which were wrinkled from sleeping all night.

I also felt my body, which had gone straight to bed without showering after returning from an outing, and my hair, which looked like a messy bird's nest.

He simply took off all his clothes and began to perform ninjutsu by forming hand seals.

"Water Release: Water Prison Technique"

He gathered chakra in his mouth and exhaled a large amount of water that enveloped him, forming a huge water sphere.

Then, while maintaining the water sphere with chakra, Tachibana Kanagawa extended a hand from the water sphere and beckoned to Ran.

Seeing this, the little frog felt a bit helpless and pulled a handful of foam mousse from its neck, gently rubbing it in its little hands.

The foam mousse immediately became sparkling and translucent.

Then, somewhat reluctantly, he placed the foam into Jianchuan Ju's hands.

Jianchuan Ju took the foam and grinned in the water prison, almost choking on his own water prison.

Then, ignoring the little frog's resentful gaze, she quickly began to wash herself.

Wow~ I feel so refreshed.

After washing her body and changing her clothes, Jianchuan Ju felt much more energetic, as if she were sparkling with starlight from head to toe.

Without thinking, he pulled Lanzi into his arms and rubbed his cheek against the little frog's head.

"Waaah, Blue, what am I going to do if you evolve again?"

"Croak~ (=.=)"

After spending some more time with Ran, Mei Terumi and Zabuza finished cleaning up and the three of them went to the camp's "dining hall".

It's called a canteen, but it's really just a larger open tent.

Many ninjas resting in the camp would come here to eat.

After greeting some familiar ninjas, the three of them took their seats.

Perhaps due to the recent decrease in the intensity of the war, the atmosphere in the camp is completely different from when Jianchuan Ju and his group first arrived at the front line two months ago.

Although the group of murderers from Wuyin still couldn't help but discuss bloody topics unsuitable for children, and some tables even looked tense and ready to fight at the slightest provocation, the atmosphere was less murderous than before.

"Konoha is doomed this time. I heard that the Iwagakure forces are about to completely occupy the Land of Grass."

"I guess so. Those barbarians from Kumogakure have probably reached the Land of Hot Springs by now, haven't they?"

"It's hard to say. I heard that Konoha won several matches in the Land of Rivers, didn't they?"

"Tch, Sunagakure is nothing special, it doesn't prove anything."

Jianchuan Ju listened with great interest as these Hidden Mist ninjas shared the latest gossip, which also allowed him, who had just returned to camp, to learn more about the latest battle situation in the ninja world.

"Why hasn't the Third Hokage launched a full-scale attack on Konoha yet? If he waits any longer, we might not even get a share of the spoils."

"Shh, don't speculate about what's going on at the top. You've had enough of this, haven't you?!"

"Sigh, it's really hard to say. Didn't the task list just post a new batch of people returning to the village to rest this morning? The final offensive is still a long way off."

Tachibana Kanagawa was listening to gossip while wondering whether to go to the training grounds to train or to the medical class to practice medical ninjutsu in the afternoon.

My eyes lit up immediately upon hearing the words "revision list".

The three of them exchanged a glance, and then simultaneously began to wolf down their food, quickly finishing their lunch.

Jianchuan Ju put down her chopsticks and looked at her two teammates with a serious expression.

"Let's go take a look!"

Mei Terumi and Zabuza also had solemn expressions, their demeanor no less relaxed than when they were about to carry out a mission in the Land of Fire.

The three little ones walked heavily to the notice board next to the task posting area.

The group looked at the wooden board that they would carefully examine with anticipation after each mission.

Let's count them from top to bottom.

"finally."

Jianchuan Ju carefully clenched her fist and waved it a couple of times, but she didn't want to appear too excited.

There was a sense of excitement at having achieved my goal, but mostly I felt relaxed.

This continuous cycle of combat training and training in combat, coupled with the frustration of everyone else returning to rest each time.

Even a reckless man like Zabuza was feeling somewhat tired, let alone Tachibana and Mei Terumi.

"Phew~ I'll be returning to the village tomorrow morning with the supply ship."

Mei Terumi put her hands behind her head and said with a relaxed expression.

"So, what are the plans for this afternoon?"

"What else is there to arrange? We're dismissed this afternoon. Everyone go home and pack your bags!"

Tachibana looked at Zabuza with some surprise, not expecting the guy to be so hardworking.

"Is Zabuza still thinking about going back to the training grounds? Have I been slacking off lately?"

"Is Tachibana Kanagawa planning to secretly train on his own? Then Zabuza will never catch up to him!"

The two thought of it at the same time.

Mei Terumi didn't care what her two teammates were thinking and happily dismissed them to return to their own tents.

Jianchuan Ju didn't actually take advantage of the afternoon to continue her diligent training.

Instead, she took Lanzi to the medical class to say goodbye to the doctors she knew there.

After all, Jianchuan Ju had come here quite often to learn from and seek advice, and perhaps because of her age advantage, Jianchuan Ju was also doing very well among these doctors.

In addition, Lan Zai often uses his cute appearance to scam people out of food and drinks here.

Jianchuan Ju herself felt it would be a bit unreasonable not to say goodbye before leaving.

Zabuza, on the other hand, actually went to the camp training ground by himself and practiced his swordsmanship for another afternoon, only returning to his tent to rest late at night.

"Zabuza, you didn't stay up all night because you were so excited about going back to the village, did you?"

"Why do you have dark circles under your eyes? Is there a girl in the village waiting for you to come home?"

Seeing that Zabuza, who had recovered from yesterday's rest, was now looking listless again, Tachibana Kanagawa began to suspect that Zabuza might have some kind of lover that wasn't mentioned in the original work.

After all, children in the ninja world mature very early; when Itachi Uchiha was five or six years old, he already had his own devoted female admirers.

Zabuza may not be the most handsome, but who knows, he might have been a hero who saved a damsel in distress or something?

Just as Tachibana was stroking her chin, pondering some clues about Zabuza's actions back in the village,

With veins bulging on his forehead, Zabuza had already quietly reached for his ninja sword.

When Zabuza arrived at the training ground yesterday afternoon, he looked around but didn't see Tachibana Kenkawa, assuming that she hadn't arrived yet.

After training for a while, there were more people on the training ground, so I didn't think about looking for him. Who would have thought that when I returned to my tent in the middle of the night, I would find that he had already gone back to sleep sometime earlier.

Zabuza is getting angrier and angrier that he's still spouting nonsense here.

"Go to hell, you bastard!"

Another round of playful fighting ensued, but unfortunately, Zabuza, who was already at a disadvantage in terms of strength, was also in poor condition at this moment.

The fact that Jianchuan Ju successfully suppressed him only made this guy even more arrogant.

In the end, it was only Mei Terumi's merciless iron fist that finally made the two of them completely obedient.

However, just as the three were about to board the ship and leave, Yagura Karatachi, who had been receiving logistical supplies at the camp port the whole time, suddenly came to the trio's side and looked at Tachibana Kenkawa.

"Hey, Orange, can we chat for a bit?"

I feel like I've already firmly entered the third watch of the night!

Hmm. Maybe it's just a feeling.
