Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 493 Making trouble
"What?!!"

When Mifune first heard Jianchuan Tachibana mention when the kage would arrive, he was a little confused.

But when he heard Jianchuan Ju say that they were attacked by a "powerful" enemy, his expression changed drastically.

He knew very well the strength of this Lord Mizukage.

During the Mizukage Ceremony, the opponent was able to fight him to a draw with just his swordsmanship.

The opponent's name of 'Blue Flame and White Disaster' that resounds throughout the ninja world is not based on his swordsmanship, but on his original bloodline elimination ninjutsu.

Besides, given the other party's age, it is a period when his strength is rapidly improving.

Now that more than a year has passed since that competition, I'm sure the young Mizukage's strength must have improved.

Now, the enemy who could be called a 'strong man' by the other side actually launched an attack on them within the territory of their Iron Country. This matter is no trivial matter.

Faced with Mifune's confused and changing expressions, Jianchuan Ju did not respond immediately.

He just maintained a serious expression and quietly gave the other person time to digest his words.

After a moment, Mifune finally came back to his senses, looked at Jianchuan Tachibana's calm expression, and asked with a slightly hesitant tone.

"Is what Mizukage-sama really saying true?"

Asking this does not mean that Mifune himself does not believe in Jianchuan Tachibana, the Mizukage.

Whether from the brief exchange between the two or from his character as evidenced in their swordplay, Mifune knew that this Mizukage was not the kind of person who spoke nonsense and made random comments.

But this matter is too serious after all, even though the Iron Country is a neutral country.

But as the host this time, this kind of commotion can be a big deal or a small matter.

To be fair, the Hidden Mist Village is currently developing at a rapid pace. If several other Kage are attacked in the future, the Iron Country's strength cannot withstand the attacks from several major countries.

Seeing this, Jianchuan Ju knew that the other party had realized the seriousness of the matter.

He simply didn't hide it and stretched out his hand, making a move towards Zabuza who was standing beside him.

Who would have thought that when Zabuza saw Jianchuan Tachibana waving at him, he immediately took two steps closer with some confusion, looked at him with a pure and ignorant face, waiting for follow-up orders.

Jianchuan Ju clenched his fists speechlessly, resisting the urge to roll his eyes, and spoke as a reminder.

"Corpse! Scroll!"

Zabuza finally reacted and hurriedly took out the two scrolls that sealed the bodies of Xiaohong and Xiaohuang and handed them to Jianchuan Tachibana.

After Jianchuan Ju took the scroll, he spoke directly.

"There were five people who attacked me, but the bodies of three of them were completely destroyed during the battle. Only these two bodies survived."

Having said that, Jianchuan Ju was not stingy with this one-time sealing scroll, and directly removed the seal in front of Sanchuan.

"The goal of these five people is very clear. They are attacking me as the Mizukage. Moreover, their methods are so strange that an ordinary jonin can't survive a few rounds at their hands."

"Even if I am careless, I may fall into the trap of the other party."

What Jianchuan Ju said was not entirely false.

Of course, it only stops at the first half of the sentence.

If I wasn't there, that kind of 'Exploding Bug' might really be able to easily defeat Zabuza and Mei Terumi who were unaware of the information.

As for the second half of the sentence.

Jianchuan Ju was just exaggerating to scare Mifune.

When Mifune heard this, he looked at the two corpses in front of him and his face became even uglier. However, Jianchuan Tachibana was not finished yet. While speaking, he gathered chakra threads in his hands and pulled out the tongues of the two corpses a little bit, showing them to Mifune.

"Besides, I originally wanted to use some tricks to get some information from these two people."

"But as you can see, these two people were both sealed with a special curse. Once the curse was activated, their brains were completely destroyed. I think their identities may not be as simple as they appear."

Mifune, whose face had almost turned as black as the bottom of a pot, relaxed a little after seeing the seals on the tongues of the two corpses.

At least the existence of this seal can help the Iron Kingdom escape suspicion of being an attacker or a hired killer.

It’s simple, their Iron Country simply doesn’t have this kind of high-end technology!
They are a country of samurai, and in the art of sealing, they may not be as good as even the weakest miscellaneous ninja village.

And if this matter was just due to the dirty tricks between the five major ninja villages or other reasons.

Although the Iron Country, as the host, also bears some responsibility, the situation will be much better overall.

However, it is not certain whether this is aimed at the Mizukage Jianchuan Tachibana or all five Kage attending the meeting. In order to be on the safe side, it is very necessary to immediately send someone to remind the other Kage who have not arrived.

If any shadow really capsized in the ditch and died in the territory of their Iron Kingdom, that small matter would become a big deal.

After figuring this out, Mifune immediately gathered his men, quickly searched along the way, and sent letters to the other major ninja villages to notify them of the news.

Jianchuan Ju saw this and gave another reminder.

"The place where I was attacked before is located southeast of the Iron Country, about 70 kilometers from here."

"Well, I left some marks there, so it should be easy to find. Lord Mifune, perhaps you can send someone to that area to search for clues and traces."

When Mifune heard Jianchuan Tachibana's reminder, he nodded solemnly.

"Thank you for your reminder, Mizukage-sama. I'd like to ask your men to take care of the two bodies. I will arrange for this matter to be dealt with right away."

Seeing that Mifune was about to leave, Jianchuan Ju first showed a gentle smile, but then immediately seemed to have just remembered something and reminded him casually.

"By the way, these two used some ninjutsu when they were alive. One is the insect manipulation technique, and the other is the shadow secret technique."

"I can't make any conclusions about the specific situation, but Lord Mifune should still pay a little attention."

Upon hearing this, Mifune looked at the two bodies on the ground, his brows almost wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character.

But in the end, he just sighed deeply, then left quickly to arrange his men.

Only one servant was left behind to help Jianchuan Ju and the other two arrange a resting place.

As for Jianchuan Ju, he deliberately mentioned the "Insect Control Technique" and "Shadow Secret Technique", but he didn't mean to provoke Konoha.

After all, although the Nara clan and the Aburame clan of Konoha are very famous, in fact, the so-called "Xuanyuan Clan" are not completely unknown in the ninja world.

However, after Jianchuan Ju put the "seal" on the tongues of these two people, it was already a foregone conclusion that there was a mastermind behind the "Xuanyuan Group".

All Jianchuan Ju wanted was to muddy the waters and see if he could gain an advantage in the subsequent meeting.

When there is a real need, these people can be Konoha's hidden men, used to control Konoha through attacks.

It could also be that Jianchuan Tachibana is trying to win over Konoha's pawns and accuse other ninja villages of impersonating Konoha to attack in order to sow discord between the two villages.

Even if nothing happened, this was just some small ninja village that had wishful thinking and wanted to attack and retaliate against his mercenaries.

Jianchuan Orange did not suffer any other losses.

"Hehe, let's see if the other shadows will jump out and hit the muzzle of the gun~"
