Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 98 Return Point

After the introduction by the intelligence officer named Fujie, everyone also had a general understanding of the current situation in the southern part of the Kingdom of Hot Springs.

Currently, all of Konoha's ninja forces are in the northern part of the Land of Hot Springs, and even the logistics transportation routes go directly from the Land of Fire into the northern part of the Land of Hot Springs.

The more than 200 Kumogakure ninjas led by the AB combination have no rivals in the southern part of the Land of Hot Springs.

Although the Ninja Village of Yu-no-Kuni, Yugakushi Village, is located in the southern region, unfortunately, due to its consistent adherence to the concept of peace, this village is more of a tourist attraction than a ninja village.

At present, even the Daimyo of the Land of Hot Springs can only ignore the existence of these Kumogakure ninjas and pretend that the country is still peaceful and prosperous.

Of course, the two countries of Leihuo were fighting each other within the borders of Tang Country, so they couldn't do anything even if they wanted to.

According to Fujie's intelligence channels, this Cloud Hidden Village force seems to be looking for the Konoha ninja lurking here.

However, it is unknown how many people there are on the other side and why they are lurking here.

At the same time, although this small army did not cause undue trouble to the people of Tang Country, after all, the main force of Yunyin was still fighting on the front line, and it was inevitable that some ordinary people would be affected.

Therefore, the people of Yu Country currently have a strong resistance to the ninjas of Kumogakure and Konoha.

There are even rumors that a part of the civilians of Hot Spring Country have formed an opposition force. Although they cannot cause damage to the main forces of the two villages on the front line, they are sparing no effort to attack the Cloud Hidden Force in the southern part of Hot Spring Country.

This also led to an increasingly serious conflict between the two sides. Not only did the resistance forces suffer heavy casualties, but it was even rumored that many ninjas in the Hidden Cloud Force were also killed or injured.

"Can a resistance army composed of civilians actually cause casualties to the Hidden Cloud Army?" Qing immediately raised the question.

If only one or two Hidden Cloud Genin were killed or injured in the surprise attack, it could be understood as carelessness, but Fujie meant that the rebels had already suffered relatively obvious casualties.

This made the Hidden Cloud Force treat these civilians even more cruelly.

"It seems that some secret method has been used to give civilians a certain level of combat power, but I don't know what it is." Fujie replied without any emotion.

"Could it be that Konoha is secretly supporting the civilians of the Land of Hot Springs?" Ken expressed his guess.

"It shouldn't be. If Konoha really wants to attack these Kumogakure troops, there is no need to borrow the name of the people of Yu-no-Kuni. Besides, even if Konoha wants to hide itself, if these civilians don't have the ability to kill Kumogakure, they won't get Konoha's support."

"Tachibana is right, but this is also a good thing for us. If the Hidden Cloud Village continues to search without any hindrance, we will not have a good opportunity to conduct an investigation."

After Qing finished speaking, he turned to Fujie and asked.

"Do you know the current trends of AB Group?"

"Yes, ninja-sama. A day ago, the other party appeared in the small town of Si Gu in the southwest near the border of the Land of Fire, and it was only these two who acted alone."

"But the enemy is too fast. When we had intelligence about them a few times before, one day was enough for them to run to any place in the Land of Hot Springs. So we are still not sure whether this news is delayed."

Fujie rubbed his brows after saying this. It seemed that dealing with all this ninja-related information was not easy for him.

"Ao Jonin, are we going straight to the AB team now? I heard that AB is the strongest person under the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village."

"Crack~"

The head exploded again.

"Sorry, Ao Jonin." After recovering, Kizuna immediately bowed and apologized.

Ken found that his disciple was becoming more and more shameless. He actually directly questioned the team leader's decision. He felt a little ashamed and apologized along with his own disciples.

What surprised Jianchuanju was that Fujie, an ordinary person who saw this situation for the first time, did not show any emotion on his face.

Qing nodded to Ken and the other man, not caring about the doubt in Gui Deng Xin Yue's words. "It's not certain that the AB team is still in Si Gu Town. We may be able to find some clues by going to the places they passed by recently. If the two are still in Si Gu Town, we have to go there. There must be some important reason for them to stay there."

After explaining to several subordinates, Qing patted Fujie on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll trouble you to continue the investigation. We may need intelligence support."

The three little ones couldn't help but hold their foreheads when they saw Qing's increasingly serious leadership style.

However, Jianchuan Ju continued to speak.

"Teacher Qing, can I send Lanzai here? It will also make it easier to pass on information later."

Because they wanted to pretend to be samurai, it was not appropriate to carry summoning beasts, which were obviously symbols of ninjas.

Jianchuan Ju simply stopped the psychic technique and sent Lanzi back to the village.

Since Lanzai doesn't have a fixed home like 'Myobokusan' or 'Wet Bone Forest', every time he cancels the spiritual communication, Lanzai will return to the location of the 'spiritual communication scroll' given by the system.

As long as Jianchuanju lets Lanzai be summoned holding the 'Spiritual Scroll', it will be equivalent to changing the 'return point'.

After that, it will be much easier to communicate with the intelligence personnel here, and it can also reduce the risk of exposure of this intelligence station.

"Okay, this way it will be more convenient if there is anything you need to know later."

After seeing Qing agree, Jianchuan Ju bit his finger and summoned Lanzai.

Lan Zai, who had just been summoned by the spirit, was still holding an apple. Perhaps he felt the spirit, and he dropped the apple and entered an alert state the moment he landed.

"Quack! (σ｀д′)σ"

However, after looking around, he found that there was no fighting, and hurriedly picked up the apple on the ground with heartache and brushed off the dust.

Jianchuan Ju awkwardly took Lan Zai aside and whispered something in his ear.

Then he released the psychic spell again, and after a minute, he was able to summon Lanzai again.

This time, Lan Zai returned with a scroll in his arms that was almost the same size as himself.

Jianchuan Ju carefully took the scroll and handed it to Fujie.

"Please keep this spiritual scroll. I will contact you through the spiritual beast if I have any information later."

Fujie took the scroll solemnly and put it away carefully.

In fact, what Jianchuan Ju gave to the other party was not the real system spiritual scroll. Or it was not just a real spiritual scroll.

In fact, Lan Zai's psychic scroll is only a dozen centimeters in size, and when rolled up, it is almost as long as Jianchuan Ju's palm.

However, Jianchuan Ju later considered the need to change the 'return point', so he specially customized a larger scroll for disguise, and hid the real scroll in the metal shaft.

When he was in the front-line camp before, Jianchuan Ju also left this large scroll of more than 60 centimeters in his tent to facilitate the transmission of information.

After Konoha attacked the camp, the scroll in the tent was torn into pieces and only the metal shaft in the middle was left. This new scroll was remade by Jianchuan Ju some time ago.

"Okay, let's go. Let's go check out the small town first."
