Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 648 Research Team
As the welcome ceremony ended, all freshmen received their favorite Pokémon.

After that, these imperial elites began to devote themselves to an intense and fulfilling study life.

At the same time, perhaps because each of them had a new partner who needed their care, the mentality of many students began to mature rapidly.

Even a careless guy like Uzumaki Naruto gradually learned how to take care of his little Vulpix after being taught a lesson by his mother.

Also because of the white Vulpix's overly cute appearance, Uzumaki Naruto has inexplicably started to get closer to the girls in his class recently.

Compared with the middle school, although the teaching classification has been gradually carried out, the study life is still relatively boring.

Here in the Imperial Capital's High School, these true elites, most of whom have already possessed the strength of a jonin, are truly involved in the actual operation of the empire under the command of their respective team leaders.

At this moment, in the Empire's Ryuhuo Province, in Konoha City.

A research team from the Imperial Academy was strolling leisurely on the main street of Konoha City.

One of them had a high ponytail and looked like a bad boy at first glance. She asked the teacher next to her in a bored tone.

"Teacher Kabuto, aren't we going to the energy plant to inspect the progress of the Nine-Tailed Fox? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to just wander around the streets?"

Although what the yellow-haired boy said was inappropriate, looking at his indifferent attitude, it doesn't seem like he is really focused on his work.

It was obvious that compared to his investigation work and seeing the tailed beasts, this kind of aimless strolling made him feel more bored.

However, before Saigyouji Kabuto could explain, another tall, silver-haired boy with a slicked-back hair spoke with a sincere and serious expression.

"Deidara, as the most loyal believers of His Majesty the Divine Emperor, we walk in His Majesty's kingdom of God. Isn't it enough to simply complete the mission? Always pay attention to these lambs, take care of His Majesty's pasture for his Majesty, and let these lambs feel His Majesty's glory. This is what believers should do!"

Listening to the inexplicable words of this neurotic senior, Deidara rubbed his temples with a headache and looked helplessly at his team leader.

Along the way, this neurotic senior has said such meaningless words more than once.

Although Deidara himself admired the emperor who founded the empire, he still had the urge to blow this idiot to death.

Seeing this, Saigyouji Kabuto coughed lightly with a little embarrassment, and then explained for Deidara.

"Although what Hidan said was a little exaggerated, the general idea is actually correct."

"We came to Konoha City this time not only to complete the factory inspection project, but also to record the living conditions of the people along the way and make our own understanding and report, which is also one of the purposes."

When Deidara heard this, his eyes were dull for a moment, and then he subconsciously asked.

"Want to write a report? Teacher Kabuto! Why don't I know anything about this?!"

At this time, the black-haired boy walking at the end of the team spoke softly in a calm tone.

"Teacher Kabuto told us that on the train, but at that time, Deidara, you happened to be asleep, and we couldn't wake you up no matter how hard we called you."

“Hey——!”

Upon hearing this, Deidara stood there in a daze and exclaimed, causing the people in the surrounding Konoha City to stop and look sideways.

Seeing the only student who skipped a grade this year behave like this, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but smile.

"Speaking of which, Sasuke should have officially started school by now, right?" Thinking of Sasuke, the younger brother he had raised since childhood, Uchiha Itachi's smile became a little gentler.

But at this moment, Feidan, who had been staring at the distance since coming out of the train station, asked again.

"Mr. Kabuto, please tell me, I want to know why the great Divine Emperor did not erect any sculptures in the empire, but this small city of Konoha can openly carve such a huge rock statue on the cliff?"

While asking the question, Feiduan pointed towards the Hokage Rock in the distance, and his usually pious tone was rarely filled with a hint of suppressed anger.

The three of them looked in the direction Feiduan pointed, and the huge Yanyan that was previously blocked by the house was now clearly visible.

However, Saigyouji Kabuto was not too surprised, and just spoke in a gentle tone.

"This is also what your Majesty the teacher meant."

"According to your majesty, he is still alive and well as an emperor. There is no need to create a statue of himself for people to worship."

"Even so, that."

When Feiduan heard that this was the intention of the great God-Emperor in his heart, he naturally did not refute it. However, since the God-Emperor did not choose to erect the statue, why could these statues of mortals exist?
Saigyouji Kabuto obviously understood his thoughts. He waved his hand slightly to interrupt him and continued.

"Your Majesty believes that the former Hokage Yan Yan also belongs to the history of the ninja world. Facing and respecting history will be more meaningful for the growth of the empire."

Feiduan was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he bowed respectfully in the direction of the imperial capital with a pious look.

"Your Majesty the Divine Emperor has a broad mind that deserves respect!"

Not only Hidan, but even Deidara who was a little jumpy before and Uchiha Itachi who was listening attentively, also showed expressions of admiration at this moment.

Only Saigyouji Dou, who said this, twitched his mouth slightly.

In addition to the reason above, what he hasn't mentioned is.

My own teacher added a sentence at the end.

"It took a lot of effort to carve Minato's big head. It would be a good idea to keep it as a tourist attraction and sell tickets~"

As they talked, the four of them had already approached the former Hokage Building.

Although the building has been renovated over the years, its overall appearance has not changed much.

However, its function has changed from only governing the village of Konoha to becoming the core office location of the capital of the entire Ryuhuo Province.

Although this four-member research team still has the task of investigating the entire Konoha City, there will still be opportunities after these things.

Now that I'm here, of course I have to pay a visit to the current top leader of Liuhuo Province first.

However, just as the four of them stepped into the municipal building.

Above a training forest in Konoha City, white light flickered and time and space fluctuated slightly.

Immediately afterwards, two figures, one big and one small, fell from the sky.
