Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Thinking of this, Jianchuan Ju stepped into the office cautiously again.

"You're back, Ju-boy? Haruyu isn't with you?"

After asking the question, Elder Yuanshi saw Jianchuan Ju's anxious expression and then smiled.

"You are quite good, boy."

Judging from the conversation and expression of Elder Yuanshi, he must be aware of the reason for the strange situation in the village. However, Jianchuan Ju was still a little uncertain, so he poked his head in and asked carefully.

"Master Yuan, can you get angry now?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Yuanshi picked up a small box on the table and threw it at Jianchuanju, then cursed with a smile.

"You little bastard, do you want me to beat you up a couple more times?"

Jianchuan Ju nimbly caught the thing thrown by the other party, and then he felt a little relieved.

He asked as he stepped forward and reached out to put the box back.

"Elder, what happened to the village? It seems a little bit..."

Jianchuan Ju muttered a few words but couldn't think of a suitable adjective.

“It’s a bit too harmonious.”

Elder Yuanshi spoke up to add the second half of Jianchuan Ju's speech.

"Yes!"

Elder Yuanshi didn't pay attention to Jianchuanju's surprise. He pushed the box in front of him, indicating that Jianchuanju didn't need to put it over.

"This is for you, open it and take a look."

Jianchuan Ju was a little confused, but still opened the box in his hand as he was told.

There was a strangely shaped bracelet inside.

Guess what happened to the Hidden Mist Village?

Oh, and what are the four ice-type skills the protagonist has drawn in the past three months? (Hint: there's a gold one. This gold one should be hard to guess, as it's significantly changed from the original. Just guessing it is probably fine.)

I won’t try to guess the characteristics of the depiction on the arms, it’s too simple.

If you have a more reliable guess, I will update it on the weekend~

Chapter 261 New Magic Gun

Jianchuan Ju took out the strange bracelet from the wooden box and looked at Elder Yuanshi in confusion.

"This thing can temporarily protect you from the effects of the village barrier, although it looks like you've already done it yourself."

Jianchuan Ju looked at the bracelet, then looked at Elder Yuanshi, and put the bracelet back into the box.

The current situation is still a bit weird. Before I figure it out, it’s better not to bring this mess with me.

According to Elder Yuanshi, the current situation was caused by the village's barrier, and this "attack" was not very powerful after being dispersed to himself.

Maintaining 'Mysterious Guardian' doesn't consume much mental energy, so I don't need this bracelet for the time being.

"Elder, what is going on? Could it be that the village did this on its own?"

Jianchuan Ju couldn't figure it out.

"Isn't it possible that the Hidden Mist Village is pursuing a harmonious society? And can this thing be created just by thinking about it?"

However, this time, Elder Yuanshi just smiled and shook his head. He did not give a direct explanation, but spoke vaguely.

"This matter is related to your next mission. Let's wait for the three generations to explain it to you tomorrow."

"Um, tomorrow?"

"That's right. The Third-sama has been dealing with this matter recently, so he can only show up for three hours a day. You can come to the Mizukage Building again tomorrow morning."

Elder Yuanshi still had a smiling face, but he was very determined not to speak.

'Is it necessary to be so mysterious?'

That's what he thought, but after all, he was a real high-ranking official in the village. Since he didn't want to say it, Jianchuan Ju had no choice.

"What about Minister Chun Yu?"

Jianchuan Ju himself discovered the abnormality and flew over directly, but Chunyu was left by him at the village gate.

However, Elder Yuanshi didn't care.

"The barrier only absorbs negative emotions and does not affect a person's mind. The spring rain should come soon."

'absorb?'

Jianchuan Ju immediately grasped the key words in Elder Yuanshi's words, but quickly complained in his mind.

"Everyone on the street is like that, and you still say it doesn't affect their mental health? The village leaders are really generous!"

Unfortunately, there was too little information and Jianchuan Ju had no clue.

After saying goodbye to Elder Yuanshi, he left the office with a lot on his mind.

"I hope it was really the village's fault. I hope there won't be another mastermind behind it."

"But now that I think about it, Kakashi seems to have just become a jonin, right? It should be quite some time before Obito is finished being trained by Uchiha Madara."

Maybe it's because of the appearance of a monster like Tachibana Kanegawa in the Hidden Mist Village that Konoha has been frantically promoting the story of Kakashi Hatake becoming a jonin at the age of twelve, as if they want to compete with the Hidden Mist Village.

Although the battle of Kannabi Bridge in the original work is definitely gone, the important node of Kakashi becoming a jonin also allows Tachibana Jianchuan to have some expectations about what will happen next.

Otherwise, judging from the current situation of the Hidden Mist Village or the current situation in the ninja world which has long been completely changed, Jianchuan Ju really is a little confused about the timeline.

"Forget it. Even if it's Uchiha Madara who's behind this, we're not completely hopeless about dealing with him."

Jianchuan Ju clenched his fists and strode out of the Mizukage Building.

"But since we won't know the mission until tomorrow, we can go and take a look at old man Shimotsuki first." Jianchuan Ju carefully avoided the friendly people on the street who greeted him. He always felt that he was the strange one.

It was not until he arrived at Ichiro Shimotsuki's shop and saw that it was deserted that Jianchuan Tachibana relaxed a little.

"Old man, I...ah."

Jianchuan Ju let out a long sigh.

The whole village is in this state, how could old man Shuangyue be spared?

But since it was the village's fault, there shouldn't be any sequelae, right?

"Hey, is Orange-boy back in the village?"

Although Shimotsuki Ichiro greeted her warmly as usual, Jianchuan Tachibana only responded with a lack of interest.

Even the old man's words of concern were only responded to perfunctorily by Jianchuan Ju.

And seeing that Ichiro Shimotsuki was still enthusiastic even though he was being perfunctory, the weirdness became even stronger.

It was not until Shimotsuki Ichiro took out the newly modified "magic gun" that Jianchuan Tachibana regained some spirit.

"This is?"

Jianchuan Ju noticed at the first moment that the scabbard of the magic spear was completely different from the previous one.

"No wonder the old man said he didn't want a scabbard last time."

When Ichiro Shimotsuki heard the question from Tachibana Jianchuan, he seemed to become proud and explained with a smile.

"As I said before, it is too difficult to optimize the blade structure of the Divine Lance. Even if we continue to add materials, it will only increase the hardness and flexibility. The function of the Divine Lance itself is still based on the original pair of long swords, so it is difficult to strengthen it."

"It's just that the scabbard you used last time reminded me that since the structure of the blade cannot be changed, we can try to find a breakthrough in the scabbard!"

Then Ichiro Shimotsuki began to introduce the new magic gun in detail.

The focus of this transformation was placed on the scabbard, just as the old man had said before, and the blade was simply strengthened.

Thanks to the previous "flying gem", the new scabbard has gained the ability to continuously accumulate energy. Originally, this gem was embedded into the handle by Ichiro Shimotsuki, but the overall enhancement of the divine spear was really average.

It was re-inlaid into the scabbard by Ichiro Shimotsuki, and was reforged with a lot of materials that Tachibana Jianchuan obtained from the system lottery.

Now, as long as the magic spear is sheathed, it will automatically absorb free energy through the scabbard.

After the magic gun is unsheathed, it can not only continuously increase the strength and sharpness of the blade, but also activate it all at once to greatly extend the attack range of the "magic gun".

According to old man Shuangyue, a one-time activation can extend the attack range of the "God-killing Spear" by a hundred times, that is, 40 meters long, and the activation speed and the hardness of the "blade" are also improved.

If the goal is simply to maintain the strength and sharpness of the blade, it can last for an hour. Ordinary swords will break as soon as they touch it, and even inferior chakra metal weapons can be shattered in a few strokes.

Moreover, these two additional capabilities basically do not require much consumption for the users.

Of course, you can also choose to actively inject chakra into the scabbard, but the speed is not very fast, and it takes about ten minutes to fully charge.

It's not that this action consumes a lot of chakra, but Ichiro Shimotsuki took the initiative to limit the charging speed. Otherwise, with the quality of the "Flying Gem", it might not be able to support a few rapid charges before being damaged.

"However, if you find a more suitable energy storage gem later, you can replace it directly."

As he said this, Ichiro Shimotsuki actually took off the gem from the scabbard.

Chapter 262 Is the village already so powerful?

"Higher-level gems can increase charging speed and release power."

As he spoke, Ichiro Shimotsuki tossed the gem in his hand playfully.

"Is this possible?"

Jianchuan Ju watched Shimotsuki Ichiro casually take off the "Flying Gem" and quickly took the scabbard to check it.

"Don't worry, it has a special mechanism, it won't fall off during a fight."

"That's good." Jianchuan Ju patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"But, if it comes to that, will gems with other properties also have the same effect?"

"of course can."

Shimotsuki Ichirō answered without any hesitation.

"But if it is a gem of other attributes, the effect is unclear. After all, the entirety of the divine spear is built to fit the wind attribute chakra."

Looking at the old man's indifferent expression, Jianchuan Ju held his forehead speechlessly.

"It seems that we should reconfirm with the old man after the village's affairs are resolved."

It seems that in Ichiro Shimotsuki's current state, he has no emotions such as fear and worry. I hope he won't get into trouble by exchanging the gems.

The main reason is that in Jianchuanju's impression, there seems to be no "Flying Stone" in Pokémon. Instead, the three evolution gems, "Water Stone", "Fire Stone" and "Thunder Stone", left a deep impression on Jianchuanju.

What if I replace the 'Fire Stone' on the sword casually, and when it is fully charged, it explodes directly after I draw the sword, which would probably make the enemy laugh out loud.

"By the way, old man, what did you say in the previous letter about the blade being able to withstand low temperatures?"

"Don't worry, don't worry. Many of the biological materials you sent over later have good physical properties. After being re-forged this time, the blade is resistant to high and low temperatures, and its own sturdiness has also been enhanced."

"Hey, thank you, old man."

"Although I feel weird looking at everyone without negative emotions, but after putting forward so many conditions, Mr. Shimotsuki didn't get angry at all, which is not bad."

But when he saw Ichiro Shimotsuki's abnormal smile, Jianchuan Tachibana felt awkward again.

"What the hell is this?"

Faced with Ichiro Shimotsuki, whose personality was completely different from before, Jianchuan Tachibana really had no interest in chatting. In the end, facing the old man Shimotsuki's gentle and kind smile that was even sickening, she fled back home in a panic.

However, even when he got home, Jianchuan Ju still felt uncomfortable, and it was not easy to maintain the "mysterious protection" all the time when sleeping, so Jianchuan Ju simply hid in the "secret space" to rest.

"As expected, the so-called barrier only affects the interior of the village?"

'What on earth are the top brass doing?'

Since he couldn't figure it out, Jianchuan Ju simply went to sleep. After all, what Elder Yuanshi said was right. He would be told after seeing the Mizukage tomorrow morning.

The next morning.

Jianchuan Ju got up early and left the "secret space".

Before going out, he did not forget to put himself into the 'mysterious guarding' state again. As for the harmonious and friendly villagers on the street, he could only ignore them and not be annoyed, and ran all the way to the Mizukage Building.

When I entered the office, I saw Chunyu waiting here early.

Inside the office were the elder Yuanshi, the Third Mizukage, Karotachi Yagura standing behind the Third Mizukage, and a green-haired Anbu wearing an aloe pattern mask.
