Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 122, can someone explain this to me?!

For several days in a row, Jianchuan Orange City lived the miserable life of a working-class person.

I need to be on duty for more than ten hours every day.

In retrospect, the 996 work schedule is indeed a blessing.

However, thanks to her busy schedule, Tachibana Kenkawa, who had only been with the company for a short time, had already been exposed to most of the work of the Anbu.

From standing guard to patrolling, and then to secretly monitoring the ninja clan's base.

I've at least had experience with most of the jobs within the village.

However, to Jianchuan Ju's surprise, a new trick came up today.

"Lu, you're coming with me today."

Early in the morning, Tachibana Kanakawa, who had just finished resting and rushed to the Anbu base, was kept behind by his squad leader, Fuku.

"Captain Fu, is there some special mission?"

Tachibana glanced at Kisame Hoshigaki, who was standing to the side, seemingly unaware of what had happened, and then turned to Fuku to ask.

"Don't say anything more, just follow me."

After saying that, Fuku added a sentence to Kisame Hoshigaki.

"Shou, you can rest today and do as you please."

"Yes, Captain!"

Tachibana Kanagawa watched Kisame Hoshigaki walk out of the locker room without hesitation and shed tears of envy.

Unfortunately, the mask of the Dark Guard can hide tears.

Fu waved to signal Jianchuan Ju to follow.

He didn't give any instructions about the upcoming mission along the way, and just silently led the way.

They slowed down only when they reached a valley on the edge of Kirigakure.

Kanakawa Tachibana, however, looked around the secluded valley with some curiosity.

Although I haven't been a ninja for very long, I've done quite a few missions, both big and small, within the village.

Not to mention that in the past two days, as a member of the secret service, I have been patrolling the village and have seen some things, both in the open and in the shadows.

However, this valley had never been visited before.

Even knowing that Fu might not provide an answer, they still asked the question again.

"Captain Fu, what exactly is our mission?"

Fu still didn't answer, but instead made a strange bird call.

If the "danger prediction" hadn't remained unresponsive, Tachibana Kenkawa would have even suspected that the other party was trying to harm her.

After all, the conflict between himself and the Snow Clan has not been completely resolved yet.

However, after Fu gave the secret signal.

The appearance of two masked ANBU members reassured Tachibana Kenkawa somewhat.

"The warrant."

The two newly appeared ANBU members did not lower their guard because of the attire of Jianchuan Tachibana and the other person; they simply spoke coldly.

Without any hesitation, Fu pulled out a scroll from his pocket and threw it to the two of them.

The two ANBU members first glanced at Jianchuan Ju and his companion, then carefully examined the scroll before disappearing into the shadows once more.

Kanakawa Tachibana became increasingly curious about the purpose of this trip.

As the two entered the valley, Tachibana Kanakawa could clearly feel a slight sluggishness.

It seems that there is an unknown barrier covering this place.

However, there were only a few rather simple thatched huts in the valley.

Only then did Fu begin to explain the purpose of his trip.

As a result, the other party's first words startled Jianchuan Ju quite a bit.

"Roku, do you know about Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki?"

Jianchuan Ju's pupils dilated in shock, and she was extremely grateful that she was still wearing the mask.

He was internally ranting and raving.

"Do we really need to go this far? I'm just a newbie who just joined the Anbu."

"Although I'd thought about becoming the Three-Tails' Jinchūriki before, I never imagined facing a Tailed Beast head-on!"

Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her mind and organizing her thoughts, Tachibana Kanakawa carefully answered.

"I've heard some rumors, why did Captain Fu bring this up?"

Fu didn't seem to care whether Jianchuan Ju really understood, and continued to speak according to his own ideas.

"Tailed Beasts are powerful monsters that have existed since ancient times, possessing cataclysmic power. In order to utilize this power, ninjas seal them within human bodies, creating war weapons known as Jinchūriki."

"Our Hidden Mist Village obtained two tailed beasts, the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails, at the very beginning of its establishment."

What Fuku said was perfectly clear to Kanakawa Tachibana, and she even knew much more about it than Fuku himself.

The claim that "the village obtained two tailed beasts at the very beginning of its establishment" is an exaggeration that has been embellished countless times.

They only obtained the benefits for the weak by taking advantage of Hashirama Senju's lack of intelligence.

Fuku, unaware of what Kanagawa Tachibana was thinking, continued speaking at his own pace.

"I am not clear about the current situation of the Three-Tails."

"However, the Six-Tails was sealed into a child's body a year ago, and the child has been protected here as the Six-Tails' jinchūriki."

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Kenkawa secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"At least it doesn't mean I have to fight a fully-formed Tailed Beast. And judging from what they're saying, it doesn't seem like there's going to be a battle."

Following the other person's words, Tachibana Kenkawa asked.

"So, Captain Fu, what brings us here today?"

However, before Fu could answer.

A brown-haired child wearing an ill-fitting blue haori walked out of the thatched hut in the middle.

The child looked to be only four or five years old.

Interestingly, the brown-haired child's long bangs completely covered his left eye.

But she still put her chubby little hands under her bangs and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"Did my teacher come to see me?"

The little boy had clearly just woken up, but a hint of joy could still be heard in his clear, crisp voice.

Looking at this adorable little devil, Tachibana Kanagawa confirmed his identity.

It was Utakata, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki who appeared in the original work.

After the child came out, Fuku, who was standing next to Jianchuan Ju, seemed to have become much gentler.

Even the speech became whispered.

"It's me. Didn't we agree before that I would teach you how to become a qualified ninja?"

Upon hearing this, young Yu Gao immediately perked up.

"Really? Teacher, you've finally agreed to let me do ninja training! That's great!"

However, something strange happened. Yu Gao was clearly very excited after hearing the news, but he only jumped around a few times and did not move any closer to Fu.

Fu seemed to take this situation for granted.

He removed his ANBU mask and walked towards Yutaka.

"Alright, before we begin ninja training, I'd like to explain some basic ninja knowledge to you."

Watching Captain Fu lead Yu Gao's little hand into the thatched hut, Jianchuan Ju, who was still standing there, was a little at a loss.

"What's going on? Why did you call me over? You should finish what you were saying before you go take care of the kids!"

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to Jianchuan Ju, so he had no choice but to stand there and wait patiently.

Since this valley is used to guard the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, there must be more than just the two Anbu members who appeared earlier.

Who knows how many eyes are still watching him right now.

At this time, without orders from his superiors, Jianchuan Ju naturally could not move around at will.

"Can someone please explain this to me?!"
