Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 115 New Appointment

Tachibana Kenkawa followed the Anbu all the way to the Mizukage Building.

Not knowing what had happened, Tachibana Kanagawa didn't rush at full speed, but just moved forward at a normal pace.

The darker side didn't deliberately speed up in a melodramatic way, trying to leave Jianchuan Tachibana behind or anything like that.

On the contrary, it was clearly matching the speed at which Kanagawa Tachibana was moving forward.

Before long, the two arrived at the Mizukage's office.

"Lord Sandai, I've brought Kenkawa Tachibana."

The ANBU member knelt on one knee and reported to the Mizukage.

This made Jianchuan Ju look a bit silly, standing there motionless.

"Should I kneel down too? This wasn't a procedure before."

The Third Mizukage didn't pay any attention to Tachibana's silly appearance, and instead waved for the ANBU member to step back.

"Fu, go wait outside for a moment."

"Yes, Lord Third Generation!"

With the departure of the ANBU member named Fuku, only Tachibana Kenkawa and the Third Mizukage remained in the office.

It was unusual that Elder Yuanshi wasn't working in the Water Shadow's office today, which made Tachibana Kanakawa feel somewhat uneasy.

But then I thought about the timing again.

"Elder Yuan is quite old; he's probably gone back to rest."

The Third Mizukage squinted at the brat who dared to daydream in front of him and tapped his fingers on the table.

Jianchuan Ju quickly came to her senses.

"Sandaime-sama!"

The Third Mizukage had no complaints and simply nodded, letting the matter drop.

"Jianchuan Ju, it seems your team hasn't been completing many missions lately?"

Jianchuan Ju never expected that she would be called over for this matter so late at night.

I couldn't help but complain to myself.

"No? You're the Kage of a village, after all. Do you really need to concern yourself with the number of missions we three Chunin have?"

However, what Jianchuan Ju said was...

"I apologize, Third Hokage. Our team has recently gained some insights into cultivation. We have indeed been lax, but we promise to complete our missions diligently from now on."

To everyone's surprise, the Third Mizukage shook his head and said...

"Forget the mission, but Kushimaru Kurihara recommended you join the Anbu. What do you think about that?"

This sentence stunned Jianchuan Ju for a moment.

Suddenly, it occurred to him that Kushimaru Kurihara did indeed have the idea of ​​recruiting him into the Anbu, which happened on the way back from destroying the Konoha camp.

However, due to Yagura's later recruitment, Tachibana forgot about this matter.

"But why is Kushimaru Kurihara being recommended by the Third Mizukage?"

However, Tachibana Kanakawa immediately thought of something.

Since Suigetsu Hobutaki died, it was natural for Kurishari Kushimaru, the vice-commander of the Anbu, to take over the entire Anbu.

However, due to the special nature of the secret service, the village's higher-ups would not publicize such personnel changes.

As a result, Tachibana Kanakawa was unaware of this for a moment.

Of course, since the Third Mizukage had asked, Tachibana Kenkawa naturally and obediently agreed.

"Reporting to the Third Generation Lord, I have no opinion; I will follow the village's arrangements."

The Third Mizukage was fairly satisfied with Tachibana Kanagawa's answer.

"Okay, then you'll be transferred to the Anbu. You'll go with Fu to the Anbu base to report for duty and collect your equipment later. You'll officially start working in the Anbu tomorrow."

"Yes, Lord Sandai."

Seeing that the Third Mizukage had already picked up a scroll and was about to continue working, Tachibana Kenkawa hurriedly asked.

"Third Generation Lord, what about my two squad members?"

The Third Mizukage didn't even look up, speaking casually.

"Naturally, we will continue to follow Team Qing's operations. We already knew about this when Qing came to report this afternoon."

"Thank you, Lord Sandai."

"Alright, go find Fu."

Tachibana Kanakawa only realized what was happening after leaving the Mizukage's office.

"Why are you asking my opinion? You already informed Teacher Qing this afternoon. Does it make any difference whether I agree or not?"

But since things have come to this, Tachibana Kenkawa has nothing to complain about.

Gently closing the door to the Mizukage's office, Tachibana looked at Fuku, who was standing against the wall wearing a mask, and didn't know how to greet him.

The other person is probably my future boss. Would it be a bit strange to call him by his code name?

Fortunately, Fukatsu must have known about Tachibana Kenkawa's situation beforehand, because he straightened up and walked over.

"Come with me."

Then, seemingly realizing what was troubling Jianchuan Ju, she paused and continued speaking.

"You can call me Fu. I'm currently the captain of the Dark Division, and you'll be working in my squad from now on."

"Yes, Captain Fu."

Behind the Water Shadow Building, inside a hollowed-out mountain.

Fu led Tachibana through the winding passage, explaining the work of the ANBU members to him as they went.

"Currently, the underground division is divided into three parts: tracking, surveillance, and assassination."

"Of course, the work involves much more than this. We must complete any task assigned by the Mizukage unconditionally."

"Most regular squads will rotate after a period of time, and if someone is particularly suited to a certain position, they will stay in that position."

"Remember, in the Anbu, obeying orders from superiors is the top priority. Mizukage, department head, squad leader, there's only one thing you need to do: obey."

With Fuku's introduction, Tachibana Kanagawa also gained a general understanding of some of the daily routines of the Anbu members.

Although the work of the Anbu may seem very prestigious, it is actually not much different from that of ordinary ninjas.

However, the missions they carried out were all quite secretive, requiring them to wear masks and conceal their identities.

During his rest time, he is still an ordinary Chunin and can live a normal life.

After wandering around the secret base for an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at the logistics and equipment department.

"Alright, go ahead and collect your equipment. Tomorrow I'll introduce you to the other members of our team."

"Thank you, Captain Fu."

Tachibana Kanagawa walked to a small window with metal bars and looked at the ANBU members on duty.

"Kid, newbie, huh? Wait a minute, no one's claimed your gear for a while now, I need to look for it."

"Thank you!"

"What's wrong with my physique?? I joined the Anbu at such a young age, which means I'm a genius! Did I eat your rice because I'm short?"

Jianchuan Ju took a few deep breaths, loosened his clenched fists, and decided not to stoop to the level of this impolite ANBU member.

After a while, the ANBU member carrying two large trays returned to the window and casually tossed the trays in front of Kanagawa Tachibana.

"Here's your equipment, try it on. Then you can choose a mask from here."

After glancing at the row of masks bearing the Kirigakure logo, Tachibana Kenkawa gave up his urge to make sarcastic remarks.

Unlike the animal masks used in Konoha, the masks used by the Anbu in Kirigakure are mostly in the style of Peking Opera masks.

In the end, Tachibana Kenkawa chose the mask with the most flamboyant appearance, which looked somewhat like Ichigo Kurosaki's Hollowfied form.

Then, somewhat reluctantly, she tried on the vest she had disliked when she became a Chunin.

"Hmm, actually it's not bad. With my looks, I could pull off this ugly thing."

"By the way, Captain Fu, may I use my own knife?"
