Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

"Ahem, it must be a mutation, but don't you think blue skin and shark face go well together?"

Jianchuan Ju awkwardly adjusted his collar and tried to change the subject.

Who would have thought that as soon as I walked into the training ground, I saw a group of ninjas gathered in a circle, discussing something.

The three little ones walked over curiously, but their pupils suddenly shrank.

What was surrounded by the crowd was a pit with a diameter of more than two meters. Blood was splattered everywhere in the pit, and a bloody corpse was lying inside.

There were several black-haired ninjas wearing similar attire standing at the edge of the pit, looking at the corpse with unsightly expressions.

Mei Terumi quietly pulled on Jianchuanju's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"How could anyone be attacked in the camp?"

Jianchuan Ju was not sure about the situation, but he saw several patrolling ninja teams nearby, but they did not look very nervous, so it should not be a sneak attack from Konoha. Thinking of the bloody smell brought by the Xiguashan puffer ghost when it walked past them, Jianchuan Ju roughly guessed something.

Then Jianchuan Ju looked around the crowd and found a ninja whom he had treated before. He had the impression that the other party was relatively easy to talk to, so Jianchuan Ju simply walked up to him and started a conversation.

"Hey, that's an idiot. I heard that he was a Chunin trained by the Snow Clan. For some reason, he actually went to provoke Master Xiguashan. Now, he was killed on the spot."

The middle-aged ninja teased with a mocking tone.

It seems that this person is one of those people who usually dislike family ninjas. When a big family like the Snow Clan loses face, they are naturally happy to gloat over it.

Of course, Jianchuan Ju actually has a similar mentality.

He had not forgotten that on the way back from completing the mission in the Land of Craftsmen, the Blue Team was attacked by ninjas trained by the Snow Clan.

However, the Snow Clan is one of the largest families in the Hidden Mist Village after all, and Jianchuan Ju does not have the ability to retaliate against them for the time being.

Now that there was the other party's excitement to watch, Jianchuan Ju certainly wouldn't miss it, and she also told Terumi Mei about the general situation.

Unfortunately, before the incident happened, other people in the training ground would not pay special attention to other people's affairs, so no one knew how that Chunin offended the Xiguashan Puffer Demon.

Everyone just saw the other person being knocked to death on the spot by the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost with a casual knife.

However, even though they didn't really understand what happened, Jianchuan Ju and the other two happily followed the others to watch the show.

After a long while, a woman who seemed to be a Jonin from the Snow Clan came to the training ground with an angry face and took away all the ninjas from their family, thus putting an end to the crowd's onlookers.

However, Jianchuan Ju noticed that the woman seemed to look in the direction of the three people before leaving.

"It would be most interesting if the Snow Clan and the Watermelon Mountain fought to the death." Mei Terumi said hatefully.

"Okay, there are so many people here, let's find a place where there is no one and start practicing ninjutsu."

There were many people here, so Jianchuan Ju decisively stopped Mei Terumi from continuing.

Although it is just an open space for training, the area is still very large. At least so many ninjas who were watching just now can now be distributed in this open space without interfering with each other.

The three of them walked to a secluded location and used earth and water escape techniques to create a small puddle to practice.

However, the ninjutsu released by Tachibana Jiangawa attracted the attention of Mei Terumi and Zabuza.

Jianchuan Ju quickly formed seals with his hands, then opened the five fingers of his right hand and waved it forward. A stream of water flew out from the puddle in the direction of Jianchuan Ju's wave and splashed forward.

If it were just this, there would be nothing strange about it. Even a water flow of this power might not be able to knock down the enemy.

But this was not an ordinary stream of clear water. When the water shot into the air, white smoke was already rising and there were signs of boiling. When the water completely splashed onto the ground, a sizzling sound was heard and a large amount of white steam came out.

It is conceivable that if this attack hits the enemy, the enemy will suffer terrible damage.

"This? What kind of jutsu is this?"

Chapter 78 The Taste of Power

Both Terumi and Mei looked at Jianchuan Tachibana in surprise and suspicion.

You have to know that it is now late January. Although the climate here on Whirlpool Island is relatively comfortable, the temperature is close to below zero.

In this kind of weather, the rising white steam makes the effect of this ninjutsu particularly obvious.

Jianchuan Ju looked at his two teammates and said with a smile.

"This is the ninjutsu I'm developing recently, Water Style*Boiling Water, which can create a high-temperature water stream to burn the enemy. Unfortunately, the effect of this move is too obvious in winter. If it were in other seasons, it would be more concealed."

Not only did this guy shamelessly claim that this was a ninjutsu he developed himself, he also gave 'Hot Water' a more catchy name.

"You guy, are you developing new ninjutsu again?" Zabuza looked at Jianchuan Tachibana's head and felt confused.

It was naturally impossible for Jianchuan Ju to say that this was a new skill fed to me by a plug-in. I just explained it according to the words I had thought of in advance.

"I discussed some bloodline development techniques with Ming before, so I thought about trying it myself. Unfortunately, even after adding the fire attribute chakra nature change, I still couldn't achieve the bloodline limit, and in the end I only developed this one ninjutsu."

"You also mastered the changes in the nature of fire-attribute chakra?"

Mei Terumi looked at Jianchuan Tachibana with a complicated expression.

It was obvious that he was a little dissatisfied with his father's independent development of many ninjutsu, so he started to get involved in his father's research on bloodline limits, but it turned out that the other party achieved results first.

"Haha, because I have hit a bottleneck in developing new ninjutsu recently, I have made some other attempts."

Jianchuan Ju scratched his head awkwardly, thinking secretly that he must try to develop some ninjutsu on his own in the future. Otherwise, he would always rely on the gifts from the system. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he could not stand being regarded as a genius by others.

Of course, my current strength is still very weak, and I definitely cannot waste too much time on such unprofitable work. Combining some variant techniques of ninjutsu is the limit.

Afterwards, Jianchuanju tried to release the 'hot water' several more times.

This ninjutsu can also spit out water from the mouth without burning yourself, just like the Fire Release Ninjutsu, but in that case, all the chakra required for the ninjutsu must be provided by oneself, which is less cost-effective than directly borrowing water from the natural environment.

Mei Terumi also took out her father's notes and had a conversation with Tachibana Jianchuan again.

Jianchuan Ju has the principles of ninjutsu brought by the infusion of skills, and is happy to communicate more with the other party.

First, if Mei Terumi develops her own Kekkei Genkai as soon as possible, she can enhance the team's combat effectiveness. In addition, Jianchuan Ju also wants to see if he can transform the "steam explosion" into his own Kekkei Genkai through Mei Terumi's research, or even integrate the two attributes of wind and water to try to develop an ice escape Kekkei Genkai and open up a new attribute pool.

Jianchuan Ju was still looking forward to seeing what kind of expressions the Snow Clan would have when he used his ice skills against them.

As the night gradually darkened, the few of them prepared to return to the tent to rest.

After all, I have just completed an outdoor mission, and there will probably be no new missions assigned in the next few days, so there is no rush to exercise.

However, as soon as Jianchuan Tachibana walked out of the camp, he saw Hoshigaki Kisame walking towards him.

"Kisame? Are you here to see me?"

"Doctor Jianchuan, long time no see."

Although Hoshigaki Kisame speaks very politely, most people really can't accept his smile with a mouth full of shark teeth.

"Kisame, didn't you say before that you would form your own team next? Why are you now working for the Puffer Demon at Watermelon Mountain?"

"Yes, it was arranged by the family."

Seeing that Hoshigaki Kisame didn't want to say more, Jianchuan Tachibana didn't ask any more questions.

Perhaps for a small family like the Hoshigaki clan, getting in touch with the Xiguashan Pufferfish Demon is much more important than forming a team of Genin to carry out missions. "I came here today mainly because I have recently done some new research on the seal-binding techniques, and I want to ask Doctor Jianchuan for some advice."

"This"

Jianchuan Ju looked at the scroll that Hoshigaki Kisame took out and felt a little embarrassed to accept it. After all, the two of them were just ordinary friends at best, and this kind of cultivation experience was a little too precious.

Seeing that Jianchuan Tachibana was a little hesitant, Hoshigaki Kisame stuffed the scroll into his hand without saying a word.

"I have never thanked Doctor Jianchuan for treating me. The time I spent with Doctor Jianchuan discussing water-style ninjutsu was also very helpful to me."

"Well, thank you very much. Don't keep calling me doctor. Just call me Ju."

"Okay, Doctor Jianchuan."

After saying that, Hoshigaki Kisame turned around and was about to leave, but seemed to have thought of something, turned back, and spoke to Jianchuanju in a serious tone.

"Doctor Jianchuan, if you accept any missions within the Land of Fire recently, please be careful and cautious."

Seeing Hoshigaki Kisame's serious look, Jianchuan Tachibana also became more serious. After all, the fact that this most strict and honest man in the ninja world could remind him meant that he really regarded him as a friend and knew some inside information.

"Okay, I'll pay attention to that, thank you."

Then Hoshigaki Kisame left the training ground in a clean and neat manner. The total time the two of them spent talking to each other did not exceed five minutes.

"Your friend seems to be a nice person." Zabuza, who had been watching the entire conversation between the two, spoke coolly to express his approval of Hoshigaki Kisame.

"Hey, huh? I also think Kisame is a trustworthy friend."

After laughing, Jianchuan Ju restrained his expression and said to his two teammates.

"Since both Qing-sensei and Kisame have emphasized the matter of missions, we should try to reduce our daily training recently to avoid being in poor condition when there are unexpected missions."

"I'll listen to you. You're the captain now."

Afterwards, the three of them had a quick meal and returned to the tent to rest.

The next morning, at the front command tent.

At this moment, more than a dozen jonin were having a heated discussion here.

"Since Konoha is not planning to attack, then we will attack!"

Xiguashan Puffer Ghost looked at the senior ninjas present with some impatience, because after the previous defeat at the front, the one who most wanted to teach Konoha a lesson now should be him, the former commander, besides the Third Mizukage who was still in charge of the Hidden Mist Village.

"Perhaps this is what Konoha is thinking. Why should we give up our current advantage and choose to take the initiative? It is obvious that they are more anxious."

Biwa Juzo, who came to the front line with the support troops, immediately retorted that he was actually looking forward to a happy fight.

But since they have already arrived at the front line, fighting is inevitable. He just wants to refute the Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost.

Seeing the other party looking at him fiercely, Biwa Juzang raised his eyebrows and glared back without any concern.

At this moment, Karuji Yagura, who was sitting in the center of the big tent, was watching the people below arguing.

It seems that I understand a little bit why the Third Mizukage always liked to let the people below speak first before making the final decision.

This is the smell of power.

There should be only two chapters today. I have something to do in the afternoon.

Chapter 79 Yin Seal

Just when Karuta Yagura was about to stop the quarrel below.

A jonin from the staff team suggested.

"Since our current small-scale operations on the front line have an advantage, why not increase investment in this area?"

"As long as the casualty ratio advantage is still on our side, the actual effect is no less than launching a direct war. Until Konoha can no longer bear such casualties and is forced to choose to attack Whirlpool Island, then we can have an absolute advantage."

Most of the jonin present had their eyes light up when they heard this. Although this compromise method may not be perfect, people tend to have faith in their previous successful methods.

Kurisai Kushimaru, who had just recovered from his injury, spoke up in agreement at the right time.

"This kind of small-scale assassination and sabotage is indeed more suitable for us, the Kirigakure Ninja. Even if those bastards from Konoha want to shrink their defense, time is on our side."

After thinking about it, Gotachibana Yagura was more inclined to this plan. The accumulated results of small-scale battles would be a considerable achievement.

And it just so happened that the proposal of this senior ninja coincided with his original idea.

Goju Yagura stopped hesitating, took out the strategic map and began to give orders.

"Kuri Hail Jonin, Biwa Jonin, the two of you will select two hundred ninjas by yourselves, and disperse into the Land of Fire in small teams. You will meet at this point and destroy Konoha's supply route. The specific timing of the launch will be decided by you."

“I like this mission!”

Biwa Juzo grinned and accepted the task. As for Kurisan Kushimaru, he was wearing a mask and his expression could not be seen.

"Muri Jonin, you lead five teams and are responsible for destroying villages and Konoha outposts on the border of the Land of Fire. Make as much noise as possible to attract Konoha's attention."

"no problem!"

Then, Gotachibana Yakura turned his gaze to the Tokugawa Yaebiren who had been listening silently.

"Senior Tousou, please be responsible for commanding and deploying the remaining ninjas to eliminate the scattered teams of Konoha that are out exploring in the Land of Fire and to kill the support personnel. I can assign half of the ninjas in the camp to be under your command, with the primary goal of causing casualties to Konoha."

"I know."

As the oldest and most experienced of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Togusa Yaito solemnly accepted the task.

"The rest of you will stay at the camp with me, and be ready to deal with the Konoha army at any time. I want to see how long they can endure!"

"Yes!"xN

All the jonin present were excited, ready to do something big and make Konoha suffer.

The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost looked at the commanding look of Goji Yagura and was somewhat dissatisfied that he did not receive the mission. However, due to his current status, he could not say much here.
