Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 486: Willing to Spend Money

Kirabi looked at his eldest brother's departing back, and a hint of worry slowly revealed in his originally determined eyes.

Ever since my eldest brother returned from the battlefield a year ago and had his arm healed by a miracle doctor that no one had ever heard of, everything seemed to have become a little different.

After the initial joy of seeing the eldest brother’s severed limbs regenerated.

Kirabi gradually discovered.

The eldest brother's personality seems to be changing quietly.

"Perhaps it's because after the Sandaime's death, as the eldest brother of the Raikage, he has been under too much pressure?"

This is how Kirabi has always comforted himself.

Just this time.

Most of the think tanks in the village, including Dodai, strongly suggested taking advantage of the Five Kage Summit to end this protracted war of attrition.

After all, the Hidden Cloud Village first clashed with the Hidden Mist Village, and was then betrayed by its ally, the Hidden Iwagakure, which led to the death of the Third Raikage.

The war with Konoha has remained at a stalemate.

The battlefield has retreated from the Land of Fire back to the Land of Hot Springs, and the strategic goals set before the war have been a total failure.

Not to mention the current shortage of supplies and personnel.

Even with the militant style of the Hidden Cloud Village, many ninjas who retreated from the front lines have begun to show signs of war-weariness.

If the daimyo had not suddenly changed his mind and provided a large amount of supplies to Yunyin.

Perhaps the Cloud Village can only survive by relying on its bloodiness and the hatred for the death of the Sandaime.

But in this situation, the eldest brother still wants to end this war with a real victory.

Although Kirabi stood firmly on the side of his eldest brother, he still couldn't help feeling worried.

Even if he had not been ordered to hold up the battle situation in the Hidden Cloud Village in a critical moment, and had not had the reputation left by the Third Raikage, this decision might not have been successfully approved by other senior executives.

"Although the reason given by my elder brother does make sense."

According to the Fourth Generation Ai, although Konoha now intends to use the pressure from other ninja villages to promote peace talks, a formal armistice agreement has not yet been reached.

As long as we take advantage of this opportunity and gain enough fruits of victory, these will become bargaining chips that can be brought to the negotiating table.

And when Konoha initiated the Five Kage Summit and let down its guard, it was the best time for Kumogakure to attack.

By then, even if the other four major ninja villages join forces to put pressure on Kumogakure to give up the results of the victory, they will still have to pay a certain price.

After all, the other families only want a peaceful situation, and they may not necessarily want to use this opportunity to inflict a heavy loss on Konoha.

As long as the Five Kage Council makes a decision, the Fourth Generation Ai will immediately send a message to the front line to stop the attack.

At that time, Konoha will have no choice but to grit its teeth and swallow the bitter fruit.

However, the Fourth Generation Ai took the Chief of Staff Tutai away as an escort and handed the command of the war to Kirabi.

This also made the other Yunyin leaders a little confused.

'I hope everything goes well!'

Looking at his elder brother leaving with Tutai and Troy, Kirabi prayed silently in his heart.

Then he took a look at the determined-looking Kumogakure ninja troops behind him, and the two Yuzuki people beside him who were also Jinchūriki but were only in their teens. Killer Bee dispelled all unnecessary thoughts in his mind and shouted loudly.

"set off!"

What all the Kumogakure ninjas didn't notice was.

On the roof of an inconspicuous house, a cold black-haired girl wearing a black robe with purple pupils slowly disappeared and followed the large Kumogakure army that was mobilized.

Four days later.

Looking at the heavy snow falling from the sky and the vast white scene in front of him, Zabuza tightened his thick cloak again and complained helplessly.

"If we're going to have a talk, then have a talk. Why choose a godforsaken place like this?"

Jianchuan Ju looked at Zabuza, who was shivering from the cold, with some amusement.

I didn't expect this guy to be so cold-resistant.

"That's it? I wanted to introduce you to a girl from the Snow Clan in the future. How can you bear this?"

"What girl? Don't talk nonsense! And those arrogant guys from the Snow Clan wouldn't even give them to me for free!"

Looking at Zabuza who was staring with his one eye, and Mei Terumi who was covering her mouth and laughing beside him.

Jianchuan Ju also laughed twice to himself.

Since the time had been calculated in advance, Jianchuan Ju did not choose to fly directly to the Iron Kingdom with the two of them.

They stopped and walked along the way, and the three of them just entered the territory of the Iron Kingdom today.

But it is also because of our continued interactions over the past few days.

The two people, who had been somewhat estranged after Jianchuan Tachibana became the Mizukage, regained their former tacit understanding.

Jianchuan Ju even had the illusion that the three of them had returned to the days of being Genin again, and now they were just a team of three leaving the village to carry out a mission together.

Even Mei Terumi, who had been avoiding Tachibana Kenkawa, had nowhere to hide these days.

Instead, it became a lot more natural again.

Well, apart from the fact that his voice became a little gentle and artificial, and little stars appeared in his eyes from time to time, other aspects were indeed a lot more natural.

Just as the three were talking, five strange ninjas suddenly rushed out from the woods nearby. They were dressed in strange clothes and had things like tails wrapped around their waists.

The leader stood in front of Jianchuan Ju and the other two with an arrogant attitude, as if he was watching a show, without saying a word.

"No, are they really here to stop us?"

"Red, yellow, blue, green, and purple. Are you some kind of five-color team?"

Looking at the people in front of him with an attitude of "God is the boss and I am the second", Jianchuan Ju complained speechlessly.

Zabuza had reminded him before that there were five people with fairly strong chakra reactions in the woods ahead, but their strength was just barely enough to reach the level of a jonin. Jianchuan Tachibana never expected that they were actually looking for trouble with him.

The white-haired man in red clothes who was leading the opposite party didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Jianchuan Ju's words, and he still spoke with a cool expression.

"Someone is paying for your lives, and they are willing to spend the money!"

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju helplessly held his forehead, reached out to take out the Mizukage hat behind him and shook it.

"See this?"

Despite Jianchuan Ju's resistance to the cold, he did not wear a thick cloak like Zabuza.

He really couldn't understand how these scumbags on the opposite side dared to brazenly say that they wanted to hunt him, the Mizukage?
Jianchuan Ju, who found it somewhat funny, didn't want to kill these five idiots right away.

But the other party's next sentence made Jianchuan Ju change his mind.

"That's right, we are going to kill you, the Mizukage! There is no target in the ninja world that we Xuanyuan people cannot hunt!"

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju was shocked by the other party's stubbornness at first, and then he scratched his ears in astonishment.

"What do you call yourself? Xuanyuan? Are you worthy of that?"

After saying that, Jianchuan Ju was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with the idiot opposite him, and simply waved to the two people beside him.

"I'll leave it to you. Remember to leave him alive."

"I want to see who is willing to spend money like this."
