Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 276: It's not Madara, it's a passerby

"How about it? Qing, do you want to be the Mizukage?"

The playful and bewitching words of the 'Third Mizukage' silenced everyone present.

"Enough!" Jianchuan Ju's loud shout broke the weird atmosphere.

"Come out! Madara! Are you still playing these boring tricks?"

As soon as Jianchuan Ju finished speaking, a very strange laugh came from behind the group of Anbu led by Karatachi Yagura.

"Hehehe~ Don't get excited. I can prove it! Lord Yagura is telling the truth~"

As the voice was spoken, a green-haired Anbu jumped out of the crowd from somewhere and stood between the two groups of people.

This guy is naturally not the legendary Uchiha Madara, but the Anbu codenamed "Madara", or the White Zetsu.

Jianchuan Ju ignored this strange-looking guy and looked at Karuju Yagura, whose expression was slowly returning to calm, with disappointment on his face, and spoke.

"So, Senior Gouju, this is what you said, for the sake of the village? To collude with outsiders for the sake of the village? Or to harm one's own people for the sake of the village?"

The disappointment in Jianchuan Ju's eyes was not because of himself.

Although Jianchuan Ju had some affection for Karatachi Yagura, who had once tried to recruit him and who remained gentle and gentlemanly even after the recruitment failed, it was not very deep.

At this moment, Jianchuan Ju was disappointed for Zabuza who was still covering for Ao in the front-line camp.

Although perhaps because of the bond with Team Ao, Zabuza may not regard Karatachi Yagura as his only and most important bond as he did at the beginning.

But Zabuza still admires Karatachi Yagura very much in his heart and regards him as the sun of Kirigakure.

His biggest wish has always not been to become the Mizukage, but to become one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, join the Anbu, and become a direct subordinate of the Kage.

Zabuza also firmly believed from the beginning to the end that Karatachi Yagura would eventually become the Fourth Mizukage.

Just before setting off on this mission, Zabuza, who participated in the pre-war meeting, spoke to Jianchuan Tachibana with certainty.

"Koujutsu Jonin must have been controlled by the enemy's illusion just like the Third Mizukage!"

There were also a few people who awkwardly suggested whether they could be brought along for this operation to help rescue Karatachi Yagura.

"If Zabuza was here, he would cry, right?"

However, facing Jianchuan Ju's questioning, Karuju Yagura, who had calmed down, simply spoke lightly.

"It's just that the winner takes it all. As long as I know that everything I do is for the village, that's enough."

"Ban", who was standing between the two groups, twisted his body strangely as he watched the two people talking to each other across him.

"Aiya~ It was you who called me out, but you just left me alone like this. I'm so sad~"

The strange look on Madara's face interrupted their conversation.

Jianchuan Ju also turned his attention to the other person.

"This one, Ban."

However, Jianchuan Ju had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Ban.

"It's not Madara~ Madara is just a code name~ I have my own name~ and I'm not an outsider~"

As he spoke, Ban slowly took off the mask on his face, revealing an ordinary face, and tilted his head to look at Jianchuan Ju.

???

Jianchuan Ju didn't know what the other party was doing.

'What is not an outsider?'

Unexpectedly, after taking off his mask, "Ban" looked sad when he saw Jianchuanju's puzzled expression.

"Huh? Tachibana doesn't recognize me? So sad~" "What if that's the case?"

As he spoke, his green hair slowly turned black, and the tone of his voice changed, becoming a little arrogant and sarcastic.

"Hey, Jianchuan Ju! You better put away your fake smile."

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he spoke slowly with some disbelief.

"Ikaruto!!"

That’s right! At this moment, this White Zetsu, apart from his height, is also amazing in appearance, demeanor, and voice tone!

It was Iwari Ashito, a classmate of Jianchuan Tachibana Ninja School, who should have died in Zabuza's graduation exam!

"Hehehe~ That's right~ It's a reed man~"

White Zetsu, or Iwarito's voice returned to its previous shrill and strange sound.

At the same time, the body changed again. The flesh color of the skin faded and became pale, and large and small pale aloe-like spikes slowly grew on the torso, arms, shoulder armor, etc. The two arms were raised to the top of the head in a strange manner, posing as an aloe branch.

"How's it going? Are you surprised?"

Looking at Bai Jue who was twisting his body with a smile, Jianchuan Ju felt a chill all over his body.

It’s not because of the other person’s appearance that makes people feel the uncanny valley effect.

It was because Jianchuan Ju had never thought that he would have contact with a terrifying existence like White Zetsu at such an early time.

And from a higher perspective, if the 'Ikaruto' are all White Zetsu, then how many people in the Hidden Mist Village are there, and how many inconspicuous people are there who are disguised as White Zetsu? !

"System! Is this the kind of fight you mentioned about snatching lollipops from kids? ! ! ! "

Looking at Jianchuan Ju's pale face, covering his chest and taking a half step back in disbelief, the White Zetsu twisted even more unscrupulously.

However, the next moment.

"boom!"

There was a crisp sound of air explosion.

The air waves were flying and sparks were flying.

Qing, Hoshigaki Kisame and others were all pushed several meters away by a violent wave of icy air.

Because Jianchuan Ju, who was standing next to everyone before, suddenly launched an attack and appeared in front of Ikaruto as if teleporting.

Jianchuan Ju, whose whole body was surging with white flames, had already entered the 'Flame White Mode' at this moment. After accelerating and bursting out, he punched hard.

"White escape*freezing fist!"

The moment the fist with white flames rising from it hit Ikaruto, it broke him into a "V" shape and smashed him to the ground. Fireworks exploded and a layer of white frost quickly formed on the ground.

At the same time, the white flames quickly spread over Ikaruto's body, freezing most of his body into ice.

Before, after Jianchuan Ju called out White Zetsu, the opponent dared to walk to the front without any defense, so Jianchuan Ju was ready to launch a sneak attack on the opponent.

Although he was indeed shocked by the other party's identity as 'Ikaruto', he didn't retreat with his hands on his chest.

Jianchuan Ju just took the opportunity to activate the speed increase of 'acupoint pressing' and adjusted the starting posture.

Then, at the moment when White Zetsu twisted his body and his vision was diverted, he directly activated the 'Flame White Mode' and burst into acceleration, intending to kill the guy who controlled the Third Mizukage with one blow.

However, at this moment, Ikaruto, who was pressed to the ground by Jianchuan Ju, with the cold white flames already spreading to his neck, still had a strange smile on his face.

"The illusion will not be dispelled~ I already said, I am not Madara~ I am an Ashi-jin~"
