Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 95 One Life Feather Dance

Over the next few days, Jianchuan Ju visited some more acquaintances in the village.

She also delivered some of the newly acquired materials to Shimotsuki Ichiro as a way of thanking the old man for giving her so many ninja tools before she went to the battlefield.

"Kid Tachibana, you still need to work harder. This old man is waiting for you to make a name for me," Shimotsuki Ichiro said with a smile before leaving.

"Hehe, old man, this time I took down an Uchiha Jonin with the Divine Spear. Just you wait and see, the Divine Spear's reputation will be no less than that of the Seven Ninja Swords."

"Alright, I know you're good. If I ever get any materials in the future, I'll buy them at market price. Maybe I can even help you upgrade this ninja sword sometime."

Speaking of strengthening the ninja sword, Tachibana Kenkawa suddenly remembered the "Flying Gem" he had just drawn, but Shimotsuki Ichiro couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Let's leave it with the old man for now, but don't get your hopes up too high. I wouldn't dare use this special material, which is only available in one piece, to enhance a finished ninja sword without testing it first."

Tachibana Kanagawa smiled and gave an "OK" sign before leaving the ninja tool shop, much to Shimotsuki Ichiro's bewildered expression.

"What a pity. Kisame must have really gone to the Anbu. The Hoshigaki clan won't say where to find him either."

Tachibana Kenkawa had been thinking of sharing some of his recent insights into ninjutsu with the other party, but he had no choice but to give up on that idea.

After a few days of unbridled rest, the Jianchuan Orange Squad resumed accepting missions as usual.

The village seems to be facing a severe shortage of manpower recently, with many tasks that have been posted for some time still unaccepted.

However, the Jianchuan Orange Squad still followed their own pace, taking a break after each mission to use for daily training.

Life was pretty comfortable.

By the way, the purpose of drawing from the flight-related prize pool last time was to master flight skills.

Moreover, based on Jianchuan Ju's current feeling, even if there were a limited-time event prize pool, it might not be as good as the boost that air superiority would bring to him.

Therefore, this time, Tachibana Kanagawa did not plan to accumulate gold coins again. Instead, she planned to draw from the flight prize pool as soon as she accumulated 1600 gold coins, so that she could get the flight skill as soon as possible and get familiar with aerial combat.

Unfortunately, I still didn't get the relevant skill in my ten-pull two days ago.

On the contrary, this was the first time that a duplicate skill had been drawn.

That's right, Tachibana Kanagawa pulled the skill "Feather Dance" again in the Flying attribute UP pool this time.

Although it wasn't the prize she wanted most, the "One Life" feather dance didn't disappoint Tachibana Kanagawa.

After the knowledge was imparted, this simple visual occlusion skill was further enhanced.

The initial method of creating a large number of white feathers to cover the entire body and obscure the enemy's vision has evolved into creating feathers with color mimicry that can hover in the air.

Jianchuan Ju conducted a test on the training ground and found that when she performed the hand seals in an open space, she could leave behind a clone of herself made of various colored feathers, which was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

If used in a dense forest, one can even create a "ghillie suit" to blend perfectly into the environment like a chameleon.

Moreover, because this skill is released quickly, it consumes very little chakra.

Normally, unless a sensory ninja specifically investigates, they would not be able to detect it.

Increasing the amount of chakra used during release can also increase the number of feathers and their duration.

This "one-life" buff transforms "Feather Dance" from a decent support skill into a highly cost-effective and practical skill.

Even some ordinary ninjas can use this skill as the core to build their own combat system.

This also made Tachibana Kanagawa begin to look forward to what kind of magical effects would occur if she drew other skills repeatedly.

"Okay, it's decided! After I get a flying skill, I'll go back to the water attribute pool."

Once again marveling at the power of the "One Life" bonus, Tachibana Kenkawa secretly cheered herself up.

"Nanase-nee~ I brought back some fruit for you."

Jianchuan Ju smiled and handed a large bag of fruit to the nurse next door.

"Thank you so much, even though you've become a Chunin, you're still so kind-hearted." Ms. Nanase accepted the package somewhat shyly.

"Hehe, it's nothing. I should thank Nanase-nee for taking care of me all the time." Tachibana Kanagawa gave a bright smile.

There's no way around it; you have to accumulate coins to participate in the lottery.

Daily tasks remain the main source of gold coins for Jianchuan Ju, and he can't bear to slack off.

One of today's tasks happened to be running errands for the nurse next door. It took Jianchuan Ju a lot of persuasion to convince his neighbor, who was afraid of troubling him, to agree to help him run errands.

Just as Jianchuan Ju finished her mission for the day and was preparing to go home to refine her chakra before getting some rest,

An ANBU ninja appeared beside him in an instant.

Ms. Nanase, who had been laughing and joking just moments before, gave me an apologetic look and immediately went back home and closed the door.

The ANBU ninja paid no attention to an ordinary person and spoke to Tachibana Kanagawa.

"Jianchuan Chunin, Elder Yuanshi requests your presence."

Jianchuan Ju was stunned for a moment. Although he knew that Elder Yuanshi had a lot of power in Wuyin, he did not expect that he could also send the Anbu to convey information.

However, he only paused for a moment before replying immediately.

"Okay, thank you for your help, I'll be right there."

Seeing that the other party had disappeared again in an instant, Jianchuan Ju thought for a moment and decided not to go home again, and prepared to go directly to the Mizukage Building.

"Lanzi, you should go home first. You'll probably have to take care of dinner by yourself. I'll go see what's wrong."

After saying that, Tachibana Kanagawa quickly jumped onto the roof and headed towards the Water Shadow Building.

"Gua~O.O"

Not long after returning from the front lines, Jianchuan Ju's team, accompanied by Qing, met with Elder Yuanshi.

Overall, he was an approachable old man who didn't mind Zabuza's identity, nor did he show any dissatisfaction because Tachibana wanted to use him to reject Yagura.

Instead, he kindly encouraged the three of them for a few words, and then agreed to let the three little ones become his bodyguards.

Perhaps because of this, there were quite a few neutral ninjas, and after that, Tachibana Kenkawa never had any contact with Elder Genji again.

Not to mention issuing missions or guarding patrols, it's as if this position has never existed.

However, since they specifically sent their secret agents to inform me today, it must be something extraordinary.

As she thought about it, Jianchuan Ju jumped over the last few rooftops and arrived in front of the Water Shadow Building.

They quickly went up to Elder Yuanshi's office.

Tachibana Kanagawa discovered that not only was it Teacher Qing, but also her own team of three, and even Ken's team, whom she was somewhat familiar with before, were already waiting there.

"I apologize, Elder Yuan, I'm late."

Seeing that there were already so many people there, Jianchuan Ju didn't care whether he was really late or not, and quickly apologized.

"It's alright, because I only asked the Third Mizukage to have one ANBU member handle the notification, so you should be the last one to be notified."

"Come sit down, little orange boy."

Elder Yuan smiled and pointed to the seat next to him, indicating that Jianchuan Ju should sit down and talk.
