Naruto: I'm Really Not a Pokémon

"Aojonin, the Third-Kage invites you!"

At this time, Qing finally realized what was happening and raised his head.

I just happened to see Jianchuan Ju wearing a fancy mask.

Qing put down the scroll in his hand somewhat awkwardly and touched the back of his head.

"Um, sorry, I got the wrong person. I'll be right over."

In fact, Qing certainly knew that he had not recognized the wrong person, but he only realized at this time that his disciple had already joined the Anbu.

It is an unspoken rule among ninjas not to reveal their identities when they wear masks.

Looking at Qing's look of trying to hide something but making it more obvious, Jianchuan Ju's mouth corners twitched slightly under the mask, but he did not point it out to the other party.

He left again in an instant.

"Whoo~"

Qing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked around, and quickly rushed towards the Mizukage's office.

Returning to the window sill, looking at Hoshigaki Kisame who was standing still like a stone sculpture, Jianchuan Tachibana couldn't help but secretly admire the other's composure.

Then he squatted down obediently and entered the state of cultivation.

But it didn't take long.

The sound of conversation coming from the Mizukage's office made the two of them stop practicing at the same time and look at each other.

"The latest news is that the Sand Village has been defeated and has retreated back to the Kingdom of Wind."

The Third Mizukage dropped a bombshell right as he opened his mouth. Not only Kurishai Kushimaru and Ao, who had just entered the office, were stunned by the news.

Jianchuan Ju estimated that the Anbu who were on guard around him like him must have been very scared.

"No wonder even daily communications can only be carried out by ANBU members on standby here."

Jianchuan Ju couldn't help but sigh. It was only the first day on duty, and he heard such explosive news.

Different from what Jianchuan Tachibana thought, what shocked Kurishan Kushimaru and Ao was not only the news of Sunagakure's defeat.

But the two of them didn't find out such important news in advance, and instead had to rely on the Third Mizukage to tell them.

Qing is better off, he is only the deputy squad leader of the intelligence perception squad, and is currently mostly responsible for intelligence on the village’s internal defense.

However, Kurisan Kushimaru is the new director of the Anbu, and external intelligence gathering is his core job.

This delay in information is already a very serious dereliction of duty.

"I'm sorry, Lord Sandaime, it's..."

However, the Third Mizukage raised his hand to interrupt the two people who wanted to explain.

"It has nothing to do with you. The Sunagakure frontline troops were injured and retreated this morning."

The Third Mizukage did not say where the information came from, but since this old man has been in charge of the Hidden Mist Village for so long, it is not surprising that he has his own source of information.

Seeing that the two men lowered their heads and did not respond, the Third Mizukage leaned back slightly bored and motioned for the elder Yuanshi to speak for him.

As an elder who had assisted the Mizukage for so many years, Yuanshi immediately understood and continued speaking.

"Although the Sand Village was defeated on the front battlefield, it has not been damaged at all. The retreat at this time should be just to preserve strength and wait for the opportunity."

"Konoha can also see this and will not directly withdraw a large number of border troops."

"Qing, select a group of elite perception ninjas to cooperate with the Anbu in a temporary capacity. Go to the border between Wind and Fire to stir up the anger of both sides. Don't let Sand Village withdraw from the war so easily."

Jianchuan Ju was listening attentively outside the window, and suddenly he felt that watching the gate and the windows for the Third Mizukage was not so boring after all.

"Isn't this just asking people to add fuel to the fire? The village leaders are quite despicable. I like it!"

However, the concerns of the village leaders are not without reason.

If Konoha really withdraws its troops from a barren place like the Wind Country, it is unlikely that they will choose to pursue the invasion.

At that moment, Qing's hesitant voice came from inside the office.

"Elder Yuan, the number of sensory ninjas in the village is currently somewhat..."

The Third Mizukage interrupted by knocking on the table.

"Hasn't a lot of sensory ninjas been withdrawn from the front lines recently?"

This time Qing didn't dare to say anything more and immediately shut up.

However, as Qing's disciple, Jianchuan Ju actually understands the current situation of the perception class.

Although some sensory ninjas were withdrawn from the front line, it was actually just to make up for the previous shortage.

If a large number of people were to be sent out at this time, then a group of ninjas would have to be borrowed from the ninja clan to participate in the daily defense of the village.

But since the Third Mizukage has spoken, there is no point in saying anything more.

The elder Yuanshi looked at the expression of the Third Mizukage and continued to add.

"There is one more thing. Although Konoha won the Wind and Fire Battle, Princess Tsunade, one of the Three Ninjas, never showed up on the battlefield."

"According to the intelligence we have received, Princess Tsunade is indeed in the front-line camp of Konoha's western battlefield, and has taken action many times to eliminate the special toxins of the Sand Village puppet troops."

"However, in the battle between Sunagakure and Konoha this morning, Jiraiya, the commander of the western battlefield of Konoha and another of the three ninjas, was in danger for a time, but Tsunade still did not take action in the battle."

"In the end, it was thanks to the outstanding performance of an ordinary jonin named Minato Namikaze that Jiraiya was rescued from the siege of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, the Scorch Release Hagura, and Chiyo, and the defeat was finally won."

Jianchuan Ju, who was outside the window, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this information.

"Master Yuanshi, you are so bold to say that, ordinary ninja Namikaze Minato. Is our Kirigakure so arrogant now?"

However, Jianchuan Ju still subconsciously looked at Hoshigaki Kisame.

After all, the two of them first met because of Hoshigaki Kisame, because the other party was seriously injured by the Scorch Release Hagura during a mission and was hospitalized.

However, Hoshigaki Kisame was wearing an Anbu mask, so Tachibana could not see anything unusual at all.

"Master Yuanshi wants us to investigate Tsunade's current condition?"

Kurishan Kushimaru, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up and asked.

"That's right, but the focus of your mission should still be on provoking a fight between the two sides. Investigating Tsunade is just an additional requirement."

The Yuanshi elder spoke with emphasis.

Afterwards, the Third Mizukage also sat up straight and looked directly at the two of them.

"If there are any signs of peace talks between Sunagakure and Konoha, I want you to destroy the peace talks at any cost!"

"Yes, Lord Sandaime!" x2

The two of them bowed their heads and accepted the order at the same time.

"Okay, you guys decide how to deploy the personnel, I just want the results. Go down."

Kurishan Kushimaru and Ao tactfully withdrew, probably to discuss the issue of the number of manpower.

Although the perception squad will most likely only need to send a small number of personnel to assist the Anbu in searching for or avoiding the wind and fire troops on the battlefield.

But it will probably be enough to give Qing a headache for a while.

The Mizukage's office fell into silence again, with only the sound of flipping scrolls being heard.

Jianchuan Ju also regained his composure and continued to practice on guard duty.

Well, after thinking about it, I decided to say it.

First of all, I would like to thank all the book friends who have given rewards. I was surprised to see a large reward in the background today. To be honest, I am a little flattered.

However, I know exactly what kind of garbage updates I have, and even if I wanted to add more, I am powerless.

Dear book lovers, please give rewards according to your means. Reading novels is just a way to spice up your life, so don't spend impulsively.

The fact that everyone is able to subscribe to the official version and read this book is already a huge encouragement to me.

If you think this book is good, you can use the money you plan to reward me to buy yourself some delicious food.

Haha, I’m treating my book friends who support me to a meal.

Thank you for your love and support, thank you.

Chapter 121 Beating Workers

Time passes silently.

Looking at the completely dark night boredly, Jianchuan Ju leaned lazily against the outer wall of the Mizukage Building.

"Does the old Mizukage work so late every day?"

Looking down at this time, there are basically no people around the Mizukage Building.

The lights in most of the houses in the Hidden Mist Village had already been turned off.

However, the Third Mizukage was still working diligently in the office.

On the contrary, Elder Yuanshi, who seemed to be more serious and responsible, went back to rest early in the evening.

Jianchuan Ju took off his mask and threw a soldier pill into his mouth with a look of despair.
