Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 494 Is it him again?
The next morning.

The heavy snowfall in the Iron Kingdom for several days finally stopped, and thick snow covered all the buildings.

The soft sunlight in the early morning broke through the clouds and slowly poured down, dyeing this white world with a layer of golden glow.

Jianchuan Ju, who got up early, was wearing plain clothes and sitting cross-legged in the yard with his eyes slightly closed.

The breeze blew gently, and a few snowflakes fell on his shoulders, but it did not affect Jianchuan Ju's feeling of the natural energy that was everywhere in the air.

Ever since he drew the trait of 'Sea of ​​Origin' and mastered the 'Water Style Sage Mode', he has been quite interested in the so-called natural energy in the ninja world.

Failure in practicing the magic of Myōboku Mountain will turn a person into a stone toad statue. Success in practicing the magic of Ryuchi Cave will give a person some characteristics of a snake turning into a dragon. The immortals in the three holy places seem to have been able to live forever because of their practice of the magic.

Although Chongwu was born with an immortal body, he possessed the strange ability to change his body at will. He could even become violent and murderous because he could not control the natural energy.

His 'Water Style Sage Mode' that was integrated with the 'Sea of ​​Origin' also had the ability to control water flow and even celestial phenomena.

Little Pokémon can even use a "wave of the finger" to unleash all Pokémon skills out of thin air.

Although both of them are magical arts that are a combination of natural energy and chakra, they display completely different and nearly omnipotent powers.

It was hard for Jianchuan Ju not to associate this with things like the 'aura' or 'magical elements' in the legends of his previous life.

However, the things in the legend are too illusory after all.

The natural energy and magic in the ninja world are not as harmless as the gentle and obedient little lambs.

Even Jianchuan Ju, who has already mastered the 'Water Style Sage Mode', doesn't dare to try it too recklessly.

He could only carefully explore and test the boundaries of the 'Water Style Sage Mode' in order to better improve himself.

Currently, all he can do is to allow some ice-attributed moves to gain the bonus of 'immortal magic' energy.

But the effect and control are still somewhat different from the simple "Water Escape Immortal Technique".

Now there is no need to say much about the system lottery.

Jianchuan Ju's goal in his own practice is to use the water attribute chakra as a guide, strive to combine the 'White Release' and the 'Sage Mode', and see if he can create a 'White Release Sage Mode'.

Although, this matter still needs to be done slowly.

But it's just right now.

The Iron Country, which is covered with ice and snow all year round, is perfect for Jianchuanju to experience a different kind of nature.

Jianchuan Ju estimated that if the so-called 'White Escape Sage Mode' could really be achieved, his own strength would be greatly enhanced again.

"Well, although my current strength seems to be sufficient for the time being."

"But, the White Release Sage Mode should be more handsome, right?"

Just when Jianchuan Ju was showing off in the yard.

Mei Terumi suddenly appeared beside him and reminded him in a respectful voice.

"Mizukage-sama, Lord Mifune comes to seek a meeting with you."

Hearing Mei Terumi's respectful tone, Jianchuan Tachibana was not surprised at all.

Mei Terumi is not Zabuza.

After all, this is still someone else's territory, so Mei Terumi is more likely to pay attention to some face-saving things for Jianchuan Tachibana.

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju also stopped his practice, stood up from the snow, patted the snow off his clothes, and then asked.

"Mister Mifune is here in person?"

"Yes, the person has arrived and is waiting for you outside." Jianchuan Ju thought about it and decided not to change clothes. He walked directly to the living room of the house in this light white dress.

However, after seeing Mifune, Jianchuan Tachibana almost laughed out loud.

The general of the Iron Country, who was full of vigor and vitality yesterday, became much more haggard after just one night.

His face was slightly pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and the carefully groomed beard on his chin now looked a little fuzzy.

Logically speaking, with the physical fitness of an excellent samurai like Mifune, he would not look so haggard even if he had not slept all night.

Obviously, the fatigue he felt at this moment was not just physical fatigue.

When he saw Jianchuan Ju coming, Mifune quickly stood up and bowed politely.

After receiving the return gift from Jianchuan Ju, he did not continue to be polite and spoke directly.

"Mr. Mizukage, we have found the place where you were attacked yesterday. The warriors we sent out have also contacted the other Kages, and they have promised to rush to the venue as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju looked at Mifune's haggard appearance again with some curiosity.

After thinking about it, he asked directly.

"In that case, I'm sure there's no major problem with the Kages. Why is Lord Mifune still so exhausted?"

The so-called attack was just a trick by Jianchuan Ju to muddy the waters.

Moreover, the existence of the sealing spell is enough to prove that this matter has little to do with the Iron Country. Considering Mifune's status as a general of the Iron Country and his cunningness, this little matter should not be enough to exhaust the other party to such an extent, right?

However, when Mifune heard Jianchuan Tachibana's question, he sighed helplessly.

"The warriors who went to look for the Kages sent back an urgent report that nothing happened to the other three Kages, but..."

After Mifune said "but", he seemed to be hesitant to speak, but finally he opened his mouth and continued.

"But the message from Lord Raikage is that during their departure from the Land of Lightning, they were also attacked by suspected Konoha ninjas, and the news has been passed back to the Hidden Cloud Village."

"Right now, the army of Yunying Village has already set out and rushed to the battlefield on the border of the Fire Country."

"Lord Raikage means that he is willing to continue the talks this time just to get an explanation from Konoha. If we can't reach an agreement, the Kumogakure army is afraid."

Jianchuan Ju raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

Even Mei Terumi, who was standing by, subconsciously glanced at Tachibana Kanegawa beside her after hearing Mifune's answer.

After all, she also knew very well what the so-called 'attack' was.

"There was actually an attack? And the Kumogakure side actually sent reinforcements directly to the front line?"

Various thoughts flashed through Jianchuan Ju's mind.

For a moment, I couldn't figure out the reason.

"Given Minato's personality, since he has prepared for the Five Kage Summit, he will definitely not take the initiative to provoke the Hidden Cloud Village at this time."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen is most likely eager to negotiate a ceasefire as soon as possible. This opportunity to use the power of the other ninja villages to oppress Kumogakure is the best situation for Konoha."

"The 4th generation Ai's explosive personality is well known in the ninja world. Isn't it asking for trouble to provoke the other party during the negotiation?"

Jianchuan Ju really couldn't understand why Konoha would take the initiative to attack the Raikage who came to attend the meeting at this time.

"Could it be that radical guy Danzo who is behind this again?"
