Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 217 Tailed Beast Jade

Looking at Zabuza's departing back, Jianchuan Ju's back had actually been completely soaked with sweat.

The feeling was even more exciting than fighting Minato Namikaze.

The main thing is that it doesn’t matter if Zabuza is exposed, since he won’t be the one to suffer social disobedience anyway.

If "Zai Zhan Zhan" is exposed, the only option left for him is to defect!
By then, they might even come up with a 'Mist Nation Collapse Plan' or 'Let the Water Country Feel Pain' to erase all traces.

"I can't let you expose me again! I'm doing this to protect Kirigakure from being destroyed!"

Thinking of this, Jianchuan Ju's mood finally calmed down, and then he was immediately moved by himself.

"I really love the Hidden Mist Village."

Jianchuan Ju even seemed to feel a beam of holy light shining on him, and he began to feel dizzy.

"Click~"

Before Mei Terumi finished her meal and walked out of the cabin, she helped Tachibana Kanagawa turn off the lights in the house.

He also didn't forget to give another instruction.

"You are weak, so go to bed early. Teacher Qing will help with other things."

After turning around and leaving, Mei Terumi vaguely heard strange words coming from inside the door, such as "What's the 'hollow'?!" and "Can weakness and hollow be the same?"

A playful smile appeared on Mei Terumi's face.

Zabuza would notice this book because of the author's pen name, but wouldn't others notice it?
After all, all this is just a minor episode.

The next morning.

After a whole day of resting and replenishing energy, Jianchuan Ju finally recovered to most of his condition.

I even vaguely felt that my physical fitness had improved slightly.

I just don’t know if this is the improvement brought about by repeated exploitation, or an illusion after recovering from weakness.

After arriving on the deck, I saw Hoshigaki Kisame practicing sword swinging there.

However, when he saw Jianchuan Tachibana coming forward, Hoshigaki Kisame stopped what he was doing.

The two men stood facing each other, and then Jianchuan Ju was the first to laugh and stretched out his right arm.

Hoshigaki Kisame also grinned and showed his fangs. The two of them bumped their fists together. There was no need to thank each other, as everything was said without words.

"By the way, have you seen Teacher Qing?"

After Jianchuan Ju recovered, he came out mainly to find Qing to find out about the current situation, but he happened to meet Hoshigaki Kisame and asked him casually.

"Mr. Qing has been in the captain's cabin."

Hoshigaki Kisame waved his finger, and if his tone hadn't been very polite, people who didn't know would have thought he was going to chop Qing.

In the captain's room, looking at Qing's back as he stared at the nautical chart, Jianchuan Ju asked.

"Teacher Qing, how long will it take us to get back to the camp?"

At this time, Qing turned around, his face visibly filled with fatigue. Even Jianchuan Ju, who had just recovered from a weak state, looked better than him.

"We'll be there tonight, do you want to go and rest for a while?"

"Um, I think Teacher Qing seems to need some rest. How long have you not slept?"

Qing did not answer Jianchuan Ju's question, but stared at the map in front of him again.

After a while, Qing suddenly spoke.

"The ninja sent to the village has returned."

"?"

Jianchuan Ju was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up and he asked, "Any instructions from the village? Any information about the situation at the frontline camp?"

Because Jianchuan Ju was going out on a mission this time, the main contact was naturally the front-line camp. However, there was no response from the front-line camp two days ago. Later, Qing had no choice but to contact the village directly. However, due to the distance, Shinobu was obviously much slower this time.

But at least there was a response, so everyone wasn't left completely in the dark.

However, Qing’s answer was.

"No."

Jianchuanju was down again.

"What do you mean? No instructions from the village?"

Qing shook his head with an unpleasant expression and replied in a dull voice.

"There is no news. Nin Ou flew out with the letter two days ago and flew back intact."

Jianchuan Ju only felt a buzzing sound in his head.

"Something happened in the village too? Impossible!"

Rather than thinking that there were problems at both the front-line camp and the Hidden Mist Village, Jianchuan Ju would rather believe that there was a problem with the Ninja Owl equipped on the second ship.

The front-line camps are still okay. After all, they are currently facing pressure from both Konoha and Kumogakure. They are like a powder keg ready to explode at any time. Even if they are suddenly flattened, it can only be said to be a slight surprise.

However, the Hidden Mist Village now has the Third Mizukage in charge, and nearly half of the ninja forces of the Hidden Mist Village are still in the village to perform routine tasks, guard, and rest. The major ninja families also have a large number of non-combat personnel on standby in the village.

Now Qing actually said that the Hidden Mist Village has lost contact?

Jianchuan Ju felt like he hadn't woken up yet.

"Teacher Qing, how about I fly back to the front-line camp first to check the situation?"

Although the equipment of a few of the previous Akagi ninjas was still intact, the flying unit was not suitable for long-distance flights and naturally could not conduct preliminary exploration.

However, Jianchuan Ju's strength has recovered 70% to 80% at this moment, and the flying speed of the "Wings of the Wind" is still much faster than that of the ship.

"That's not necessary. Even if something does happen, it's useless if you go there alone."

In fact, not to mention that it would be useless for Jianchuan Ju to go there alone, if there was really any problem in the front-line camp, even if all the crew members of the No. 2 ship arrived instantly, it would not change anything.

After all, there are less than a hundred people on this ship now, and the most important flying squadron has lost the core equipment that made it famous, so the impact it can have on the overall battle situation is minimal.

The atmosphere remained depressing for the entire afternoon, although the others did not know that contact had also been lost in the direction of the village.

However, the low pressure of the two commanders still made everyone else feel much heavier. But at this time, Jianchuan Ju and Qing didn't have the leisure to calm the others down.

"Captain Jianchuan, Ao Jonin. We are about to approach the vicinity of Whirlpool Island. Should we head towards the original Whirlpool Island camp, or should we head towards the new camp location mentioned by the command center before the mission?"

The captain of the ship turned and looked at Jianchuan Ju and the other man, waiting for instructions from his superiors.

However, when the captain turned around, he only saw the two people's horrified looks, and no one spoke.

At this moment, the two of them looked out through the glass of the captain's room with their pupils constricted.

First, a dazzling light appeared on the sea level in the distance, freezing everything. Then, an extremely huge mushroom cloud rose slowly and began to expand at an incredible speed.

The mushroom cloud produced by the 'explosive egg' that Jianchuan Ju once released with double chakra was completely the size of his grandchildren in front of this explosion.

It was not until a loud 'boom' was heard that everyone came to their senses.

"That's the front-line camp!" Qing said with a trembling voice.

And Jianchuan Ju on the side also clenched his fists slightly.

‘Tailed beast jade! ’
