Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Then he released the psychic spell again, and after a minute, he was able to summon Lanzai again.

This time, Lan Zai returned with a scroll in his arms that was almost the same size as himself.

Jianchuan Ju carefully took the scroll and handed it to Fujie.

"Please keep this spiritual scroll. I will contact you through the spiritual beast if I have any information later."

Fujie took the scroll solemnly and put it away carefully.

In fact, what Jianchuan Ju gave to the other party was not the real system spiritual scroll. Or it was not just a real spiritual scroll.

In fact, Lan Zai's psychic scroll is only a dozen centimeters in size, and when rolled up, it is almost as long as Jianchuan Ju's palm.

However, Jianchuan Ju later considered the need to change the 'return point', so he specially customized a larger scroll for disguise, and hid the real scroll in the metal shaft.

When he was in the front-line camp before, Jianchuan Ju also left this large scroll of more than 60 centimeters in his tent to facilitate the transmission of information.

After Konoha attacked the camp, the scroll in the tent was torn into pieces and only the metal shaft in the middle was left. This new scroll was remade by Jianchuan Ju some time ago.

"Okay, let's go. Let's go check out the small town first."

Chapter 99 Take action

It wasn't long since the few of them left the town where the intelligence station was located.

Qing, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped with a serious expression.

"Someone is following us."

"Fifteen people, two jonin, three of them are the Kumogakure ninjas we met in the town just now."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped immediately, took a defensive stance, and waited for Qing's next order.

"Be alert and continue to move forward normally. See what the other party means. There may not be a fight."

"Yes" x7

Everyone immediately returned to their previous state and continued to move forward casually.

Before they had gone far, the Hidden Cloud Ninja accelerated and caught up with them. Fifteen ninjas surrounded the two teams in an instant.

"What does this mean, my friends in Kumogakure?"

Qing showed some wariness and asked preemptively.

A dark-skinned man who seemed to be the leader walked forward a few steps and looked at Qing who had spoken.

"State your identities and tell us the purpose of the Kingdom of Soup."

"Have you, the ninjas from Kumogakure, also begun to take charge of the security of the Land of Hot Springs?"

As he spoke, Qing put his hand on the hilt of the knife in a serious manner, as if he was ready to draw the sword at any time.

Although Jianchuan Ju and others knew that Qing's swordsmanship was not even as good as his direct kunai fighting.

However, the Hidden Cloud Ninja on the opposite side still leaned slightly and looked at Qing warily.

"You don't need to ask about this. I'll say it again, tell me your purpose!"

Qing showed hesitation and spoke after pondering for a while.

"We are subordinates of the general of the Iron Country. We have been ordered to come to the Hot Spring Country to deliver a letter to the Daimyo of the Hot Spring Country. We do not wish to come into conflict with your country."

"I see. Now go. Say hello to Lord Mifune for me."

The dark-skinned jonin forced a smile upon hearing that and waved to everyone, indicating that they could leave.

Just as he was about to turn around, the leaders of both sides shouted at the same time.

"Get started!" x2

A beam of white light instantly shot out from Jianchuan Ju's hand towards the head of the dark-skinned jonin on the opposite side.

It’s a pity that the other party was well prepared and had been on guard against Kirigakure’s actions.

Although he didn't expect the attack to be so insidious, he still managed to avoid the sneak attack by tilting his head, leaving only a slight scratch on his face.

The dark-skinned jonin was nearly hit in the head, and immediately started to sneer with hatred.

"Is that all you can do? The Iron Country is not so extravagant as to send two Jonins and six young Chunins to deliver the message."

Qing saw that the Hidden Cloud Ninja jonin opposite him was obviously ready to take action. He cursed "damn it" inwardly, but did not stop making hand seals.

The next moment, a large amount of water spurted out from Qing's mouth, directly surrounding the Kirigakure people, forming a solid water wall that blocked the attacks of all the Kumogakure ninjas.

Then the water wall collapsed, and everyone scattered, and Qing gave orders.

"Quick victory, no need to leave anyone alive."

Although leaving one or two people alive might help us find out the purpose of the Hidden Cloud Village's action.

But you have to know that there are more than 200 Kumogakure ninjas scattered throughout the southern part of Hot Spring Country. If they are held back by the enemy because of holding back, then it is estimated that none of them will survive.

However, when these words fell into the ears of the Hidden Cloud Ninja, they seemed to be looking down on them.

The dark-skinned jonin who was leading the group roared with a little anger.

"Capture them and leave a few alive!"

More than twenty ninjas present were fighting in an instant.

Jianchuan Ju kicked away a Kumogakure ninja who was trying to launch a sneak attack on him, and immediately bit his finger and slapped the ground.

"Blue boy!"

The psychic technique was performed, and the little frog jumped into the air from the smoke.

After hearing his master's call, he immediately opened his mouth in understanding.

"Gua! (｀0′)▓▓▓▓" A large amount of gray smoke spewed out of Lanzai's mouth, instantly covering the three Kumogakure ninjas rushing forward and blocking their vision.

It was the 'Smoke Screen' that Lan Zai had mastered some time ago. The visual effect of this move was very similar to the 'Fire Style*Ashes Burn' used by Asuma in the future, but unfortunately it did not have the effect of igniting an explosion.

But it doesn’t matter!

Seeing the enemy shrouded in the "smoke screen", Jianchuan Ju quickly formed seals again.

"Water Style*Flying Water Shuriken"

Dozens of water shurikens quickly formed around Jianchuan Ju, and in the blink of an eye they all shot into the smoke.

"Ah!"x2

Two screams came from the smoke.

However, another Kumogakure ninja rushed out from the smoke, wielding a long sword that was flashing with electric light and slashing towards Jianchuan Ju.

Unfortunately, the Hidden Cloud Ninja only heard a clear low hum coming from behind him.

"Swallow Returns"

Jianchuan Ju quickly passed by the opponent and sheathed his sword. Only then did he hear a dull sound of falling to the ground from behind him.

Jianchuan Ju quickly dealt with three opponents and ignored Kizuna Shingetsu who was being stabbed to the ground by a Kumogakure ninja not far away and was unable to move due to the electric shock.

Instead, he activated his 'sharp eyes' and quickly scanned all the Hidden Cloud Ninjas, his gaze lingering for a moment on two enemies that were closer to him.

The weak deterrent effect of the "Sharp Eyes" caused the two Kumogakure ninjas to pause for a moment, leaving them injured.

However, this is not the main purpose of Jianchuan Orange.

With the help of his dynamic vision which had slowed down several times at this moment, Jianchuan Ju noticed a Hidden Cloud Ninja who was hiding aside with his eyes closed but kept throwing kunai and shurikens.

"You are the one!"

That’s right, Jianchuan Ju was looking for the sensory ninja in the opposing team.

If they don't get rid of this person, even if the people of Kirigakure are really defeated and want to retreat, they will be caught up by the enemy.

Jianchuan Ju formed seals again, and the water under his feet began to surge violently. At the same time, his right hand tightly grasped the short knife behind him, and strands of green wind-attribute chakra also flowed behind him.

Staring at the guy who was suspected to be a sensing ninja, Jianchuan Ju muttered to himself.

“I wouldn’t dare to play like this without dynamic vision.”

The next moment, the long-accumulated water gushed out from under his feet. At the same time, the wind attribute power that came with the use of the Swallow Returning skill also pushed Jianchuanju to accelerate forward.

In the blink of an eye, a blue-green figure crossed a distance of more than thirty meters and appeared in front of the perceptive ninja.

With his powerful dynamic vision, Jianchuan Ju swung his sword accurately across the opponent's neck.

Then he rushed forward for several meters without slowing down before finally stopping.

But it’s also thanks to this forward charge.

Because the speed was too fast and the force of the slash could not be contained, the head of the perceptive ninja flew high. If Jianchuan Tachibana had stayed where he was, he would have been covered in blood.

"Although this move has not been named yet, it is better to use it less frequently until you have better control over your body."

Jianchuan Ju stretched his stiff calves slightly to reflect on himself.

It seems that ever since I started practicing swordsmanship, I increasingly consider myself less and less a long-range ninjutsu-type ninja.

But in fact, his body is not as good as those of the physical skills ninjas who have been tempered through thousands of trials. Immersing himself in the tension and excitement of this close combat is a dangerous signal for him.

Just as Jianchuan Ju was recovering from his numb legs, a long knife with a cold glow silently stabbed at his back.

"Shu~"

The long knife went straight through Jianchuan Ju's body, and the tip of the knife stabbed out from his chest.

Well, let me tell you something. I had something to do today, so I only wrote two chapters. This chapter is a draft...

So I will try my best to write tomorrow. If I really can't write anything, I may resume updating twice a day for a few days. I am really too panicked if I don't have any drafts saved. Otherwise, it would be funny if something happens one day and I stop updating.

Dear readers, please forgive me.

Chapter 100 Evacuation

The long sword pierced through Jianchuan Ju's figure, and the sneak attacking Kumogakure jonin paused subconsciously.

"wrong!"

There is no sense of lag when penetrating into a real object, and only when you look closely at the back of this figure do you notice a hint of disharmony.

The next moment, the figure of 'Jianchuan Ju' and some of the surrounding background exploded at the same time, turning into large feathers that blocked the sight of this jonin.

[Water Style*Boiling Water]

In fact, just a moment ago, Jianchuan Ju, who had sensed the 'danger prediction' prompt, had already put his hands together and performed the 'feather dance' to escape first.

He then lowered his body, leaned forward to avoid the opponent's sneak attack, and quickly formed seals with his hands to perform ninjutsu.

It opened its mouth and spit out a stream of hot water, which passed through the feathers still floating in the air and splashed onto the enemy who failed in the sneak attack.

"S~Die little devil!"

The sudden burns, even the mentally tough ninja still couldn't suppress the pain, he let out a hissing sound, but still held the long sword tightly in his hand and chopped forward.

"Boom~"

Just when this Yunyin Jonin was stunned, a blue figure suddenly appeared above his head from a distance, and kicked him down with great force, smashing him directly into the ground. The powerful force caused the ground to crack and soil and rocks to splash.

Jianchuan Ju, who was still preparing to launch a sneak attack after the boiling water, looked at the huge pit in front of him and the messy enemies in the pit, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"As expected, you can't fight in close combat! If I had rushed in close, I would have been sent away along with the enemy!"

Ken scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, Doctor Tachibana. I was delayed by the opponent's lightning clone just now. Fortunately, you are okay."

Although Ken didn't keep an eye on the jonin who was fighting with him, if someone else was attacked by surprise, their life would be in danger.

However, Jianchuan Ju saw that the other party was covered in dirt and dust, and estimated that it would not be easy to deal with this person. The situation was urgent, so he didn't say much.

Ninjas on the Kumogakure side died one after another, and even the number of senior ninjas was reduced by one. The balance of the battle immediately tilted.

In the blink of an eye, several more Kumogakure ninjas fell.

The other party seemed to realize that something was wrong, and several of them immediately took out flares from their pockets and threw them into the air.

"Stop them!"

Qing immediately yelled when he saw this.
