Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 282 Cheer up, young man

Jianchuan Ju still had an impression of Quan Bingwei. He was the personal guard who had always been beside Elder Yuanshi.

After a while, the man arrived at the Mizukage's office.

However, he first glanced at the Third Mizukage warily, then noticed that Qing and Jianchuan Tachibana were present, and then he relaxed a little.

Although the Third Mizukage saw Gonbei's expression, he did not point it out directly. Instead, he asked directly.

"Tell me, where is Elder Yuanshi now?"

"Mr. 33"

Gonbei looked at the Third Mizukage somewhat at a loss, and hesitated in his tone, not knowing whether he should speak.

However, the Third Mizukage spoke in an uncharacteristically gentle manner.

"Don't worry, it's all over."

After Gonbei looked at the Third Mizukage's expression carefully, he gritted his teeth and then spoke.

"Reporting to the Third Master, Elder Yuanshi has been in the secret room of his home. With..."

"It sealed itself together with the Three-Tails' container."

The Third Mizukage just shook his head and smiled when he heard this, with some emotion in his tone.

"This old guy is really cunning. I didn't even know he had a secret room in his house."

When Quan Bingwei heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

The Third Mizukage saw how cautious he was and didn't say anything to him. He just turned and looked at Jianchuan Tachibana and the others.

"Ju, Qing, the two of you come with me to see that old guy."

"The rest of you can go back and rest. This incident will be considered an S-level mission."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard that, and finally turned their eyes to Jianchuan Ju, making him very embarrassed.

Jianchuan Tachibana, with a frown on his face, winked at Hoshigaki Kisame, but immediately thought of something and turned to look at the Third Mizukage.

"Third generation, Captain Chun Yu and I still have..."

Upon hearing this, the Third Mizukage smiled and patted his head.

"I'm old now, don't worry, it's all in the past."

Then, the Third Mizukage called another Anbu and gave orders again.

"Team Jianchuan Ju and others have lifted the wanted notice for the traitorous ninja."

Having said that, the Third Mizukage paused for a moment, looked at Jianchuan Ju, and asked in a suddenly dry voice.

"Is Yagura dead?"

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju wanted to remind the Third Mizukage that he was not the leader in the last operation.

However, when he looked up and saw the Third Mizukage who suddenly looked older, he didn't say anything more and just answered honestly.

"Yakura-senpai's body disappeared."

The Third Mizukage just said "hmm" after hearing this. Since there was no body, he would treat it as if it were alive.

"Karotachi Yagura has defected, and a wanted notice for traitorous ninja has been issued."

The Anbu who received the order asked at an inappropriate time.

"Sir, do I need to report the reason for my defection?"

The Third Mizukage simply glanced at the Anbu indifferently, and his tone returned to its calm state as he spoke slowly.

"No reason, just issue the order."

"Yes!"

The Anbu seemed to realize that he had been a little too talkative and quickly took the order and retreated.

Despite this situation, the disclosure of Karatachi Yagura's identity as a traitor is a big blow to the Hidden Mist Village.

But after all, it is uncertain whether Karatachi Yagura is dead or not. If he is still alive, given his previous status in the village, he is not clearly defined as a traitor, and it is unknown what he will do with his original identity.

However, if they directly said that the other party was controlling the Third Mizukage to rebel, it might be a bigger blow to the village.

It was not until this time that the rest of the people left the Mizukage Building one after another.

In the end, only Qing and Jianchuanju were left, and they followed the Third Mizukage to the residence of the Yuanshi elder.

The residence of the Yuanshi elder is much better than the overly simple house of the Third Mizukage, but it is also not very big.

Jianchuan Ju also suddenly realized that it seemed that these two people had no family or relatives. He didn't know whether they died in battle or something else.

However, it is obviously not a good idea to ask the person directly about this matter.

After entering, Quan Bingwei led the way carefully.

When they reached an empty room, Gonbei turned the mechanism to reveal the wooden door of the secret room.

But now this wooden door is covered with dense sealing patterns.

Jianchuan Ju and the other two all looked at Gonbei, waiting for his next move.

Unexpectedly, this guy looked at the three of them awkwardly and said with a stiff upper lip.

"Third generation sir, the seal of this secret room of the Yuanshi elder can only be automatically lifted after the time is up. Forcible removal will cause an explosion, causing everything inside to be destroyed."

Now even Jianchuan Ju was speechless.

"No wonder he has been with the Elder Master for so long and has decent strength, but is still only a personal guard and has not been able to get any official position in the village."

"Shouldn't you have said this earlier? Why did the Third Mizukage come all this way just to see the prints on the wooden door of Master Yuan's old house?"

However, the Third Mizukage did not intend to blame the other party, and asked in a gentle tone.

"How long will the seal last?"

"Twenty days, there are still sixteen days left."

Jianchuan Ju only then realized that just after they left the village to carry out the "Zero" mission, the elder Yuanshi took the three-tailed beast and sealed themselves up.

I don't know whether he realized something was wrong, or whether Karutagi Yagura and the others took some action at that time.

"Just sixteen days."

When the Third Mizukage heard what Gonbei said, he laughed even more happily and looked at Jianchuan Tachibana with squinted eyes.

"The old man does have confidence in you, but you've done better than he thought."

The Third Mizukage kept calling him "old fellow" and "old thing" left and right, but Jianchuan Ju didn't dare to respond and could only give an awkward smile.

But then he remembered what he had just said that it would take sixteen days to lift the seal, and he was hesitant to talk to the Third Mizukage.

Unexpectedly, when the Third Mizukage saw the awkward expression of Jianchuan Tachibana, he spoke directly in a casual manner.

"I only have ten days to live, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qing and Gonbei, who were present, both had their pupils dilated and looked at the Third Mizukage with disbelief.

Only Jianchuan Ju looked at the indifferent expression of the Third Mizukage, with a hint of bitterness in his words.

"Yes, Third Master, at most eleven or twelve days, but it will definitely not arrive."

"Two days longer than I thought? That's good, but it's a pity that I can't see old Master Yuan for the last time."

The Third Mizukage shrugged indifferently after hearing this. He didn't look like an old man who was about to die at all. Instead, he looked much younger than before.

Jianchuan Ju really wanted to save the Third Mizukage, but his "Resurrection Prayer" could only revive people to their state before death.

That is to say, those who died in battle can still be saved, but for people like the Third Mizukage who have reached the end of their lifespan, there is really nothing that can be done. Even other medical ninjutsu and other means cannot prolong their life.

Seeing that Jianchuan Tachibana and the other two fell silent for a moment, the Third Mizukage smiled silently, and then spoke words of comfort.

"Come on, young men."

"Since we can't see that old man Yuanshi, let's go back. We still have a lot of things to do these days."
