Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 202 Wearing a Top Hat

In the main account.

Karuju Yagura sat in the first seat.

Kurisame Kushimaru, Harusame, Kaguya Tatsuya, and Yukikaze stood on both sides of him.

As for Jianchuan oranges.

Although he is still young and has little experience, he is the captain of an upstart department after all, and has earned the nickname "Wings of the Wind" through his own strength, so he is not at the bottom of the list.

His rank is only slightly lower than that of Hoshigaki Kisame, who had just become one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

However, what surprised Jianchuan Ju was not the boring thing of arranging seats.

Instead, standing next to Haruyu, in the position where Nakaji, the head of the perception class, should have been, was Qing, who had not been seen for a long time.

"Teacher Qing has been on standby in the village for more than half a year. Is he sent to the front line this time?"

"I haven't heard that Nakayoshi was injured or anything like that? Is it just a simple job rotation?"

Jianchuan Ju winked at his teacher as if he wanted to exchange information, but Qing just smiled at him helplessly.

Considering that it was such a serious occasion after all, Jianchuan Ju gave up the idea of ​​eye contact and planned to ask Teacher Qing for clarification after the meeting.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Yagura Karuta imitated the Third Mizukage's usual behavior, tapping the tabletop with his fingers to attract the attention of everyone present.

Then he spoke with a serious expression.

"Although the battle with Kumogakure has always been within the expectations of the frontline command, this time it was so sudden that it disrupted many of our arrangements."

"The Third Master, who was originally planning to come to the front line to personally command, has also postponed his plan because of this."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Various discussions arose one after another, and Goji Yagura knocked on the table several times but failed to interrupt the noise below.

The shadows of the other four major ninja villages appeared on the battlefield one after another. Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been in charge of Konoha Village during World War II, was forced to go to the front line of the Land of Earth to defend against the enemy under pressure.

On the other hand, although the Hidden Mist Village was in a low-level battle, it relied on the advantage brought by the Sky Department to defeat the Konoha Village.

However, only Karutagi Yagura was dispatched to fight at the top level, which resulted in the inability to completely defeat Konoha's eastern front.

The rumor in the village to invite the Third Mizukage to fight naturally became more and more widespread.

Fortunately, the Third Mizukage has ruled the Hidden Mist Village for decades and has great prestige, so there haven’t been many negative comments for the time being.

In fact, Yagura Karatachi gradually figured out the thoughts of the Third Mizukage.

Whether it is to train new people for the village or for his own reputation.

What the Third Mizukage wanted was an effect that would have the final say once he appeared on the stage.

Therefore, unless the battle situation has reached a critical moment of imminent victory or defeat, the Third Mizukage will not easily come to the front line to take away his command.

Thinking of this, Goju Yagura's gaze became more determined.

"Kirigakure can only win big!"

At this moment, a shout of cursing interrupted the noise.

"Damn it! Shut up! You won't fight if the Mizukage-sama doesn't come, right?"

The tent suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned their eyes to the person who spoke.

But after seeing who was speaking, everyone immediately turned their heads to the other side in tacit understanding.

"If we argue with this idiot, he will really start fighting regardless of the situation." Everyone thought at the same time.

The person who spoke was naturally the patriarch of the Kaguya clan, Kaguya Ryuya.

However, he seemed not to understand the expressions of others, or he simply didn't care. Instead, he stared straight at Karuju Yagura and spoke.

"Karoju Yagura, stop talking about those useless things, just tell me whether we are going to attack Konoha or Kumogakure next!"

Karajima Yagura didn't care about this guy's tone. Instead, he was quite grateful to him for helping him get the meeting back on track.

However, Goju Yagura did not continue talking in line with the other party's words, but continued to follow his own pace.

"Let's not discuss how to fight yet. Jonin Tianfeng, please first tell us the results of your investigation on the way back." Karutagi Yagura turned his gaze to a middle-aged Jonin standing at the end and said.

"Yes, Master Goji."

The jonin named Tian Feng first stepped forward and gestured to everyone, then continued to speak.

"This incident was initiated by three people from our side and three people from Kumogakure. They are suspected of directly giving orders and directing the members of their respective units."

"Although after checking, the three people who attacked us were confirmed to be ninjas from the village, the others said that they did behave abnormally today. One of them was only a Genin, but he openly gave orders to the other ninjas."

"And not long after the battle began, all three were either killed or missing."

Kaguya Ryu also jumped out and cursed.

"Why bother investigating? It must be those bastards from Konoha in disguise! Just kill them!"

Unexpectedly, Goju Yagura shook his head.

"The Cloud Village side may not hold the same view. Even if they can find out the cause of the incident, it is an indisputable fact that the two sides fought. The casualties on both sides are not small numbers. It is impossible to ignore it so easily."

"This won't work, and that won't work! So what do you think we should do?"

Kaguya Ryuya crossed his arms across his chest, impatience written all over his face.

However, Goju Yagura asked back.

"Why do we have to find one?"

???

"Captain Kurisai Kushimaru, you take two groups of people, disguise them well, and attack the ninjas who are out of Konoha and Kumogakure respectively."

After saying this, Karuju Yagura turned around and looked at the other person.

"You understand what I mean?"

Kurishan Kushimaru laughed sinisterly.

"I'm familiar with this."

Then, Karajita Yagura continued to speak to others.

"The main force has entered the Fire Country to cover the construction of a new front-line camp. The ground catapult device is in place. This time we will let the air force's attack range cover the entire eastern part of the Fire Country!"

"This time, those idiots in Konoha revealed a lot of methods they are going to use to deal with us. Harusame, list them one by one after the meeting and hand them over to the General Staff, and let them come up with countermeasures."

"Yes, Lord Yagura."

Chunyu accepted the order respectfully, as this was his job as the director of the Air Force Department.

Finally, Karutagi Yagura looked at Kanegawa Tachibana, who seemed to be thinking, with a smile on his face.

"Kanagawa Jonin, our Wings of the Wind."

When Jianchuan Ju heard the voice, he was immediately startled.

It’s okay for his teammates to call him that, he’s already used to it.

But being called by this title in front of so many senior ninjas and many acquaintances, Jianchuan Ju almost dug his toes into the ground in embarrassment.

He quickly stood at attention, looked straight towards Karuji Yagura, and answered with a stiff expression.

"Master Yagura, you called me?"

Karuju Yagura still had a smile on his face.

"Don't be nervous, Jonin Jianchuan. I heard that you not only successfully destroyed the new outpost that Konoha attempted to establish during this mission, but also killed Konoha's Akimichi Touka alone on your way back?"

As soon as these words were spoken, whispers arose again in the tent.

"Akimichi Tofu? The patriarch of the Akimichi clan?"

"The guard of the Second Hokage?"

"Doesn't that mean that Tachibana-kun already has the strength of a ninja swordsman?"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense!"
