Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 232: Is there such a tough guy in Konoha?

During this week's ice escape training, he came to harass Shimotsuki Ichiro several times in the first few days, asking about the progress of the transformation of the "Divine Spear".

But later he was scolded and sent away by the old man, who told Jianchuan Ju that the transformation would take at least half a month.

Thinking that he didn't urgently need weapons recently, Jianchuan Ju stopped disturbing him and continued his daily training with peace of mind.

Who would have thought that when Jianchuan Ju walked into the Air Force base this morning and was about to slip away after punching in as usual, Kono came jogging up to him.

"Captain Jianchuan, ship number three has been repaired!"

? ?
"Hasn't the third ship been repaired long ago?"

Jianchuan Ju looked at Kono with a strange expression, then seemed to have thought of something and asked uncertainly.

“Is it really fixed this time?”

"It's really fixed!" Kono nodded with certainty.

Jianchuan Ju immediately understood.

'It looks like the good times are over.'

In fact, it is not the two people's fault for playing charades. As far as Jianchuan Ju knows, the so-called No. 3 ship had actually been completely repaired a month ago.

However, due to the ambiguous attitude of the village leaders towards the upcoming war, no one has pushed this matter forward, and the intact No. 3 ship has been parked in the repair shop.

Naturally, this group of people from the Kongbu Department had not been sent out on any missions, and Jianchuan Ju thought that they might no longer need to go to the front line of Whirlpool Island.

They are just waiting for the peace treaty to be signed. Either they will enter a period of peace directly, or the Hidden Mist Village will directly open up a new front against the Hidden Cloud Village.

As a result, now we have only been notified that the third ship has been repaired, and there are no new instructions.

"Doesn't that mean we have to lead the team and follow the third ship to the front line of Whirlpool Island? You can't ask us to bomb Kumogakure, right?"

Jianchuan Ju looked at Kono and continued to ask.

"Who sent the notice? Are there any other instructions?"

"Anbu came to inform us. There are no other instructions. Just let us connect as soon as possible and prepare for departure."

"The Anbu came to inform us, so it was most likely an order from the Third Mizukage. But why didn't they send the mission along with it?"

Although Jianchuan Ju didn't understand, he still gave orders to Kono first.

"Call all members, all training is suspended today, and everyone is on standby at the base."

"By the way, send someone to inform Captain Kaguya, in case he doesn't know anything."

Jianchuan Ju was really afraid that by the time everyone set off, he, the captain of the third squad of the air force, would miss the boat.

Kaguya Rosso has rarely appeared in the Sorabe camp recently, mainly because he was scared by the beatings he received from Jianchuan Ju.

There is no other way. Currently in the Air Force base, only Kaguya Rosso is suitable to accompany Jianchuanju to practice swordsmanship. She is good at physical skills and can take a beating.

Jianchuan Ju would come to practice with Kaguya Rosso whenever he had time.

As a result, this guy was forced to go from being excited at the beginning to having to avoid Jianchuan Ju every day until now, and he had to report to the Air Force base at different times from Jianchuan Ju.

Of course, it may also be due to the war-crazed nature of the Kaguya clan, and a large part of the reason is the social psychology of revenge caused by the bloodline disease.

The higher the degree of awakening of the corpse veins of the Hyuga clan members, the shorter their lifespans. Some of the clan members with particularly good talents basically die young before they are in their teens or twenties.

As for those family members with less talent, it would be difficult for them to live to over 30 years old, unless they did not use their bloodline limits at all and relied entirely on conventional ninja methods for combat and training.

"Since we're all going to die anyway, why not just fight to our heart's content!"

This is the true thought of most of the Hyuga clan members who have awakened their corpse bone veins.

Jianchuan Ju, who often comes into contact with Kaguya Rosso, gave some health tips and promised to help study whether there is a solution after the Ninja World War. As one of the best medical ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village, Jianchuan Ju's promise is still trustworthy.

With the hope of extending his life, Kaguya Rosso has become much more rational. He is no longer the berserker who dares to dive into a crowd of people with a bag of grenades.

The topic seems to have gone off topic.

Upon learning that the No. 3 ship had been repaired but had not received any mission, Jianchuan Ju gave his subordinates an order to assemble and then went to the Mizukage Building to inquire about the ideas of the top management.

Given Jianchuan Ju's current position, doing so would not be considered an overstep.

But when he arrived at the Mizukage's office, he was stopped by the Anbu on duty.

"The Mizukage and the Elder Master are meeting with the envoys from Konoha. The Elder Master said that if the Jōnin Jianchuan comes, he can wait here for a while."

As he spoke, Jianchuan Ju was taken by the Anbu to a meeting room next to the Mizukage's office.

Jianchuan Ju had just sat down on the bench outside the meeting room when he heard an angry roar coming from inside the door.

"Impossible! Whirlpool Island is the territory of the Uzumaki clan! And the only heir of the Uzumaki clan is now a ninja of Konoha!"

Jianchuan Ju hadn't even sat down when he was startled by the sound.

'Is the soundproofing in the conference room so poor?'

I subconsciously looked towards the door of the conference room, but I didn't expect that there was a gap in the door of this conference room where an important meeting was obviously taking place. No wonder the sound could be heard.

"Are you discussing peace talks? The village wants ownership of Whirlpool Island?"

Just as Jianchuan Ju was thinking this, a familiar voice came from inside the door.

"Since you are a ninja of Konoha, how can you be considered the heir of the Uzumaki clan?"

The one who spoke was Elder Yuanshi, but compared to the excited emotions of the Konoha envoy, Elder Yuanshi was obviously much calmer.

"And the ninja world doesn't seem to have a rule that the people of a destroyed nation still have the right to inherit the land."

At this time, a slightly younger voice spoke up to refute.

"There is no such rule in the ninja world, but as an ally of the Uzumaki clan for generations, the Hidden Leaf Village is also obligated to protect the Uzumaki clan's territory."

Upon hearing the reasons of the young messenger from Konoha, the Third Mizukage sneered in disdain.

"Heh, allies? When the Whirlpool Country was destroyed, Konoha didn't help."

"that is because."

The young man wanted to speak again, but suddenly stopped.

Jianchuan Ju couldn't see what was going on inside, nor did he know whether his words were stopped by his own people.

Then, the old man who roared at the beginning spoke in a firm tone.

"No matter who Whirlpool Island belonged to before, Konoha will not recognize Kirigakure's ownership of Whirlpool Island. Even if they station troops there for a long time, Konoha will definitely strike back!"

The Third Mizukage responded with a hint of mockery.

"Hehe, Konoha will strike back? You seem to have forgotten Konoha's current situation, right? Does Konoha think that we, Kirigakure, are no longer able to join the battle?"

"Then give it a try!" After the Konoha old man finished speaking, there was a 'bang' sound, which should be the sound of someone angrily slamming the table.

When Jianchuan Ju heard these conversations, he began to be curious about the identity of the old man who was talking.

"Besides Danzo, is there anyone as tough as this in Konoha?"
