Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 67 Palm Immortal Technique

Jianchuan Ju listened to the conversations of several wounded soldiers and gained a better understanding of the situation on the front line.

Previously, because the front-line troops underestimated the enemy, all the exploration teams sent to the Fire Nation were concentrated in landing and then dispersed to infiltrate and obtain intelligence.

The commanders probably also felt that if they concentrated their forces to land, Konoha's weak defense at the border would not be able to effectively block them, and they might even be able to directly establish a landing point.

As a result, when Kuroko Raiga and Nakayoshi led their team to land, they were blocked at the landing point on the coastline by Orochimaru who had come to support them and were almost wiped out.

Qing, who was given the task of leading a new batch of ninjas from the perception squad, learned a lesson after their arrival and ordered all the exploration teams to act in small teams from the start.

A large number of Mist Ninja teams dispersed directly on the Whirlpool Island, all choosing to run from the sea to the coast of the Fire Country continent, landing at different locations to infiltrate, explore, and destroy.

However, such small-scale confrontations will also gradually escalate the intensity of the war and will inevitably result in a large number of casualties.

Infiltration, counter-infiltration, and intelligence gathering are the main themes of these days on the war front.

Heng Songbu also seemed to enjoy watching and chatting with these wounded people.

Although he had temporarily finished the work at hand, he did not take the time to rest. Instead, he sat with Jianchuan Ju and listened to gossip on the battlefield.

However, as if he felt that it was inappropriate to be so gossipy in front of the children, Heng Songbu only listened for a while and then started discussing medical ninjutsu with Jianchuan Tachibana.

"I didn't expect that Senior Hengsong has such a deep understanding of the Palm Immortal Technique."

"After all, I'm a full-time doctor. Unlike Tachibana, who is a medical ninja and has to spend his energy on combat."

Heng Songbu seemed very proud of his identity as a doctor, and he shared some medical knowledge without hesitation.

This was a great help to Jianchuan Ju, who happened to be learning the Palm Immortal Technique recently, and it also gave him a deeper understanding of the medical ninja's signature ninjutsu.

The other party found a live fish from somewhere and taught Jianchuan Jue the palm magic step by step.

Looking at the living fish struggling to survive in the hands of Heng Songbu, Jianchuan Ju even felt that the other party's attainments in medical ninjutsu were no less than those of Saigyouji Keiko.

Not to mention her very skilled use of the chakra scalpel and the technique of extracting fine tissues that she had performed before.

But the more this happened, the more strange Jianchuan Ju felt, so he just asked directly.

"Tsunematsu-senpai is such an outstanding ninja, why have I never heard of you before in the Hidden Mist Village Hospital?"

Heng Songbu seemed to be accustomed to such questions and answered gently.

"I have been helping out at an orphanage for a long time, so I haven't been back to the village for a long time."

"So, giving up your job in the hospital and choosing to take care of orphans?" Jianchuan Ju didn't expect to get such an answer.

"Yes, maybe I think that it is better to rescue those orphans who cannot survive because of the war instead of treating the ninjas."

Looking at the radiance that emanated from within Heng Songbu's expression, even Jianchuan Ju felt a little ashamed of himself.

"Tsunematsu-senpai is truly a kind person."

"Maybe. There are always things that are worth giving everything for."

For some reason, Heng Songbu suddenly felt a little sad, and Jianchuan Ju didn't continue the conversation on this topic.

"Maybe they are worried that no one will take care of the children if they go to the battlefield. However, the other party has such advanced medical technology, it is impossible for the village not to recruit them."

Jianchuan Ju continued to lead the topic back to medical ninjutsu, seizing the opportunity to efficiently absorb various medical knowledge.

Only when new wounded people came to be treated did the two stop torturing the fish and return to their work. Inside the main tent of the camp.

Qing looked at the somewhat lazy Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost in front of him and sighed helplessly.

"Lord Xiguashan, all the sensory ninjas that can be sent have already entered the territory of the Land of Fire. If we continue to send sensory ninjas, the defense forces around the camp and on the Whirlpool Island will be seriously insufficient."

"The frontline reconnaissance work is a direct order from the Third Mizukage. You just need to follow the order."

The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost casually flipped through the scroll in his hand, seemingly not understanding what Qing meant by the words at all.

"What I mean is, can we send in some more combat ninja teams to assist in intelligence gathering?"

The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost looked even more disdainful upon hearing this.

As the self-proclaimed leader of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Xiguashan Puffer Ghost has a natural contempt for young sensory ninjas like Qing.

"Send additional combat teams? You should wait for Karuju Yagura to arrive and report to him about this matter."

Hearing the other party's answer again, Qing could only worry.

Perhaps it was because the village immediately sent Goji Yagura to take over after the defeat on the front line, which made Xiguashan Puffer Ghost resentful about this, and he has been in a state of passive resistance in recent days.

Fortunately, the Xiguashan Puffer Ghost is still managing the camp's daily arrangements as usual.

However, because the leader of the perception squad, Zhongji, was injured and returned to the village, the current exploration and command work basically all fell on Qing's shoulders.

Qing is a young senior ninja who has just joined the perception team not long ago. It is already a rare opportunity for him to command the ninjas in the perception team. It is basically impossible to obtain assistance in other aspects without the approval of the Xiguashan Puffer Demon.

"But Lord Xiguashan, there are not enough sensory ninjas on the front lines right now, and we can't get all the intelligence. If we send more regular ninja teams to coordinate, it will definitely improve efficiency and reduce the loss of sensory ninjas."

The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost, who was fiddling with the scroll, looked up at Qing, grinned with a mouth full of sharp teeth, and spoke in a cold voice.

"Reduce the loss of sensory ninjas? What about the loss of other ninjas? I remember the casualties of the combat team sent out two days ago were much greater than those of the comparable sensory ninjas!"

"Okay, you can go down. Goji Yagura will be here in the next two days. You can decide these matters by yourselves."

As the advance force of this support force, Qing was naturally assigned to the side of Goji Yagura by the Xiguashan Puffer Ghost. Seeing that he was endlessly here, he was even more displeased.

'Ugh. '

Qing sighed silently in his heart.

Although the support troops led by Yagura Karuta set out only two days later than Ao and his men, the Perception Squad received orders from the Third Mizukage and rushed to the front line at full speed.

Moreover, the large-scale marching speed of the support troops is bound to be slow, so it is hard to say whether Goji Yagura can really arrive in the next two days.

The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost Jianqing stood there without saying a word, and then waved his hand to drive him away.

Qing had no choice but to prepare to leave the main account. After all, he still had a lot of work to do in terms of intelligence gathering and personnel transfers.

However, just as Qing was about to walk out of the tent.

'boom--'

Suddenly there was an explosion outside.

"Is that the sound of a flare? Someone is attacking the camp?"
