Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

"It's up to you guys. I've tried before, but unfortunately I don't have any talent for sensing ninjas."

Qing first cast an inquiring look at Jianchuan Ju. He always believed that Jianchuan Ju was a very talented person with great perception.

Unfortunately, Jianchuan Ju knew his own business. He knew that every time he had been able to detect the enemy in advance, it was not because he was talented, but because of his passive characteristic of "danger prediction".

He had none of the chakra sensitivity and innate spiritual acuity required of a perceptive ninja.

Jianchuan Ju had to politely reject Qing's proposal.

"Teacher Qing, I am now a medical ninja. My main training direction is water-style ninjutsu. Recently, I also want to study swordsmanship. It may not be suitable for me to divide my attention anymore."

Although it is true that he cannot be distracted, Jianchuan Ju also thought that maybe one day he could draw a skill like 'see through' or 'smell detection' and become a perception ninja.

Don't spread your energy over too many things now.

Chapter 58 Learning Ninjutsu

Qing felt a little sorry about Jianchuanju's answer.

But it is indeed true, and Qing also believes that Jianchuan Tachibana usually spends a lot of energy developing new ninjutsu, so he simply doesn't force it.

Now, the eyes of the three of them all fell on Zabuza.

"I'm going to use the Mist Hidden Technique."

Zabuza's cold words directly shattered Qing's last hope.

It's a pity that he is a sensory ninja, but none of his three disciples inherited his skills.

However, Qing thought about his previous observations and found that Zabuza might also have a good talent for perceiving ninjas, so he decided to struggle again.

"My own perception ninjutsu is more inclined towards large-scale chakra perception, which is indeed not suitable for use in the Hidden Mist Technique, but there are other types of perception ninjutsu in the village."

"I will look up some relevant information later. This type of perception ninjutsu can also increase your combat capabilities in the Hidden Mist jutsu."

Looking at Qing's expectant eyes, Zabuza finally nodded and agreed.

"Mr. Zabuza is not pitying him, but he is really helping me."

Finally satisfied, Qing began to explain the essentials of ninjutsu to the two newly graduated disciples so that they could choose the ninjutsu that suits them to learn.

"You two have already learned some water ninjutsu, and you must have some understanding of the principles of chakra. If you want to learn advanced ninjutsu, you must master the techniques of the two chakras."

Having said that, Qing held up two fingers and asked the two of them a question.

"You should know which two techniques they are, right?"

Jianchuan Ju looked around. Mei Terumi was an old disciple and must know all this, but Qing was not asking her this time, so she just looked at the two of them quietly.

Zabuza didn't know whether he couldn't answer or was just pretending to be cool, and he didn't intend to answer.

Jianchuan Ju had no choice but to act as the supporting actor himself.

"Teacher Qing, it's the nature and form of chakra that changes."

"Yes."

Then, Qing spread out his palm, and a stream of water appeared out of nowhere, flowing continuously to the ground.

"This is the change in the nature of chakra, which is to transform the chakra in the body into five different attributes of 'water, fire, thunder, earth, and wind'."

Afterwards, Qing did not make any other moves, and all the water flows converged together against the common sense of physics, forming a light blue water ball.

"This is the change in the form of chakra. It can control the released chakra to show a specific form."

After he finished speaking, Qing waved his hand gracefully to disperse the water ball, letting it fall to the ground, ready to receive the admiring gazes of his disciples.

You have to know that this method of creating and controlling water flow without the help of hand seals, simply by mobilizing chakra, although it has little power and cannot be used in actual combat, it is still a very advanced skill.

However, what Qing waited for was Jianchuan Ju's question full of doubt.

"Teacher Qing, I want to know, are some chakra changes really necessary? For example, my flying water shuriken, the change of form can enhance the cutting effect, but it is also a stream of water hitting the enemy, what is the use of multiple dragon heads?"

This is also a question that Jianchuan Ju had when he watched anime in his previous life. However, in anime, it can be explained as special effects added simply to make the skills gorgeous, but in reality, ninjas will definitely not waste operations like this.

Of course, Jianchuan Ju also knew that the ultimate form change of the Rasengan could bring extremely powerful spiral explosion damage.

However, the morphological changes of water dragons and unicorns, other than being fancy, are no different from direct water flow or electric shock.

Zabuza, who was standing by, turned green in the face when he heard Jianchuan Tachibana's question.

"I'm four."

"Cough~cough~"

Qing hurriedly interrupted Zabuza's rampage and explained.

"Transformation change is not just about changing the appearance. Simple transformation can control the range and target of ninjutsu. For example, the Water Dragon Bullet Technique you mentioned is a more advanced transformation. It can usually make ninjutsu acquire some characteristics of corresponding animals and become more flexible." Jianchuan Ju nodded, thoughtfully.

I see. It's just mimicry plus divine descent.

So, what animal characteristics are the dog heads carved into the earth flow walls meant to acquire?

Qing saw that Jianchuanju didn't continue to dwell on this issue, so he continued talking.

"What I just showed you are relatively simple methods. When actually releasing a ninjutsu, you often need to combine it with a specific chakra flow and corresponding hand seals to achieve a series of effects such as increasing the power of the ninjutsu, releasing it faster, and saving chakra."

"Normal ninjas are born with 1-2 chakra properties. However, this does not affect the ability to learn and master ninjutsu of other attributes. Generally, ninjas who reach the level of Jonin will master at least two ninjutsu of different attributes."

Qing looked at the two disciples who had resumed listening attentively, took out two square pieces of paper from his pocket and asked them.

"Have you ever tested your chakra properties before?"

Jianchuan Ju looked at each other.

"I only have water attribute."

"Me too."

Qing was not surprised by this. Perhaps due to environmental reasons, the first attribute of most ninjas in the Water Country is water.

When Jianchuan Ju opened the water attribute UP pool himself, he knew that if he mastered the property changes of a certain attribute and learned a corresponding ninjutsu, he could unlock a new prize pool through system achievements.

So I gritted my teeth and spent money to buy a piece of chakra testing paper. The result showed that I only had water attribute, so I had to give up learning ninjutsu of other attributes for the time being.

As for Zabuza, Jianchuan Ju guessed that it was Karutagi Yagura who helped him test it.

Seeing that neither of them used what he had prepared, Qing put the two test papers back into his arms with some disappointment.

This thing is quite expensive.

After putting away the test paper, Qing thought for a moment and said.

"Then I suggest that you two continue to learn water-based ninjutsu to enrich your ability to deal with situations. As for ninjutsu of other attributes, it won't be too late to learn them after you become a jonin."

"Then Mei Terumi"

Zabuza, who had been silent, seemed to speak unconvinced, but was interrupted by Qing.

"Ming was born with three attributes, but he is currently only focusing on learning water and earth ninjutsu."

"hey-hey."

Mei Terumi smiled at Zabuza with some pride, and Zabuza turned his head away awkwardly and didn't look at her.

"Okay, here are some water ninjutsu that I mastered. You can choose what you want to learn first. As for the rewards given to you by the village, I can also give you some suggestions if necessary."

As he spoke, Qing took out a scroll and unfolded it to the two of them. It was obvious that he had prepared it in advance.

Jianchuan Ju couldn't help but feel a little moved. After all, from the perspective of the captain alone, there was no need for Qing to go to this extent.

Up to now, he had only received some teachings on ninjutsu from his deceased parents and his elder, Keiko Saigyouji.

Afterwards, Jianchuan and Tachibana began to look at the scroll very seriously, and Qing and Terumi Mei would give suggestions from time to time.

In the end, Jianchuan Ju chose the two ninjutsu "Water Chaos" and "Water Prison Jutsu", while Zabuza chose "Water Wave Palm" and "Water Clone".

The two of them tacitly agreed not to choose too many ninjutsu or overly advanced A-level and B-level ninjutsu.

After all, their fighting styles are basically formed now, and they have each mastered B-level ninjutsu such as 'Flying Water Shuriken' and 'Water Dragon Bullet Technique', so there is no need to be too ambitious and bite off more than they can chew.

Qing was also very pleased with the two's behavior and began to carefully explain these ninjutsu to them.

Chapter 59 Bad News

Over the next ten days, Tachibana Jianchuan and Zabuza concentrated on learning new ninjutsu.

The two of them even cut back on their planned swordplay practice.

That's right, both of them have arranged a certain amount of swordsmanship practice recently. Jianchuan Tachibana is doing basic training, while Zabuza is doing swordsmanship combined with wire techniques.

However, the training progress of both of them was a bit slow, and they could only rely on pulling each other down to cheer themselves up.

Qing was running between the perception class and the training ground, familiarizing himself with his new job while guiding his disciples in their practice.

The three of them were all very busy, so Mei Terumi was the only one who went to the Mizukage Building every day to check for suitable tasks.

Mei Terumi had no complaints about having to watch the task board, but she still had to catch the two of them for a sparring match every afternoon when she came to the training ground.

The strength of the three of them is now about the same, and they usually win and lose against each other. This kind of sparring has a very obvious effect on improving their strength.

Oh, by the way. Since Lan Zai's last evolution, his attributes in all aspects have been improved, and his overall strength has grown by leaps and bounds.

Now he has the strength of an ordinary Chunin, especially his speed is amazing, and his actual combat level is not inferior to the three little ones.

So now, both Mei Terumi and Zabuza refuse to regard Tachibana and Lan as a whole.

During normal combat training, they are basically divided into four groups and fight on their own, or in pairs.

Chen-Chou-Mao

"Water Style*Water Wave"

The Water Wave Ninjutsu is slightly different from the Water Style * Water Shock Wave that Mei Terumi often uses.

The impact force was even weaker and couldn't even create waves. The water that came out of Jianchuan Ju's mouth turned into a parabola, forming a small lake on the ground.

However, this ninjutsu only has three seals, is released faster, and consumes less chakra, which perfectly meets Jianchuan Ju's current needs for creating water environment ninjutsu.

Seeing that the water waves had completely covered the ground, Mei Terumi reluctantly crawled out from the ground.

That’s right, combat training is currently underway.

Since all three members of the Ao Squad are considered water-style ninjutsu, Mei Terumi has been using earth-style ninjutsu from the beginning of training to now, to avoid releasing water shock waves to create a combat environment for the opponent.

Unfortunately, Mei Terumi didn't master many earth-style ninjutsu. When she tried to use the "Heart Beheading Technique" to launch a sneak attack on Tachibana Kanagawa, she was discovered and nearly crushed underground by the water wave.

Just as Mei Terumi emerged from the water, a teasing voice reached her ears.

"Water Style*Water Prison Technique"

The surrounding water spiraled up and wrapped around Mei Terumi. As the water rotated, it quickly closed into a sphere more than one meter high, actually locking her directly in the water prison.

But before Jianchuan Ju could say a few polite words.

A short blue figure flashed behind Jianchuan Ju, holding a crystal clear water ball in one hand and gently patting his thighs twice with the other hand.

Jianchuan Ju looked down helplessly and saw that it was Lan Zai who was in the same group with Mei Terumi in this battle.

"Okay, you win."

Jianchuan Ju easily pulled out his arm and released the control of the water prison technique.

"Yeah~"

After coming out of the water dungeon, Mei Terumi immediately went up to Lan Zai and high-fived him happily.

As for where Zabuza is?

As early as the battle started, when Zabuza was about to release the Mist Hidden Technique, he was ambushed and "killed" by Mei Terumi and Lan Zai, and withdrew from the sparring.

"Hey, Zabuza, where did you learn how to stand still and raise one hand high to pose when performing the Mist Hidden Technique? I don't remember you doing this move before?"

Seeing that the winner had been decided, Zabuza, who had just walked over, blushed immediately when he heard this. Fortunately, he was wrapped in bandages so no one could see it.

However, Zabuza's eyes were still wandering around, and he didn't dare to look at Jianchuan Tachibana.

He couldn't say that he had recently seen Mei Terumi's Mist Hidden Technique also involve breathing mist out of her mouth.

The first time I watched it from an outsider's perspective, I found that the spell looked too silly, so maybe he came up with this cool pose himself?

"From now on, when you cast a ninjutsu, never raise your hands again!" Zabuza silently set a rule for himself in his heart.

"Okay, you guys lose today, so you two should treat each other to dinner."
