Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 138 Split Operations

Although there was no actual evidence, the Third Mizukage intuitively concluded that the Tsuchikage, Onoki, was responsible.

In addition, when Kirigakure first declared war on Konoha, Onoki chose to withdraw his troops, leaving Kirigakure to bear the brunt of Konoha's firepower.

This is the second time the other party has tricked me!

However, the current situation is indeed not suitable for waging war against Iwagakure, so Kirigakure has no choice but to grit its teeth and accept the situation.

Fortunately, after this incident, it is probably unlikely that Sunagakure and Konoha will be able to negotiate a peace agreement.

The goal of the Hidden Mist was thus achieved indirectly.

However, since Sunagakure had already been driven back into the Land of Wind by Konoha, they still dared to provoke Kirigakure. The Third Mizukage could not let them off so easily.

He tossed the intelligence scroll to Elder Yuan, who was still unaware of the situation.

The Third Mizukage didn't wait for him to finish reading before discussing it.

He gave the order directly.

"Send a message to Yagura Karatachi, ordering him to allocate troops to encircle and annihilate the Sunagakure pursuit force!"

"Also, have Fuku's squad search for the Sand Village forces along the border of the Land of Fire."

"No need to support those ANBU. Have them keep a close eye on the Sunagakure forces' movements, and then coordinate with the encirclement and suppression team. We must capture all of these Sunagakure soldiers!"

"Yes." x2

Two members of the ANBU who were waiting outside the door appeared instantly, and after receiving their orders, they were about to leave again.

However, Elder Yuan immediately called down the two of them.

This left the two secret agents somewhat bewildered.

"Feilian, you can go and relay the message to the frontline command. As for the orders for Squad Fu..."

At this point, Elder Yuan looked at Qing and the little frog behind him.

"Qing, you brought that kid's summoning beast here so you could quickly transmit information, right?"

"Yes, Elder Yuan."

Qing answered very obediently.

The secret agents responsible for guarding the area finally realized what was happening.

The village has a means of rapidly transmitting intelligence to the frontline command.

However, the only way to deliver intelligence to the Fuku Squad was to send a message from a ninja gull.

If we wait until the ninja gulls arrive, the ninjas sent to the front lines might already be fighting with the Sand Village. Why would we need the Fuku Squad to keep watch?

The ANBU member codenamed Fei Lian left alone to deliver orders to the communications team.

Another member of the secret service ran to the side and started writing commands on a scroll.

However, after he quickly finished writing on the scroll and handed it to Lan Zai, he noticed that the frog was slow to deliver the information and didn't know what to do.

He could only look at Qing, who had brought Lanzi over, with a puzzled expression.

Everyone was momentarily speechless with embarrassment.

Even the Third Mizukage, who was staring at the ninja world map with a grim expression, pondering what opportunity he could give Iwagakure a lesson, turned his gaze over.

At this moment, Qing wished she could turn into a spirit beast and deliver information to Jianchuan Ju.

Qing knew that the summoning technique was a one-way summoning.

To avoid a situation where Lan Zai is summoned back before he even gets the information, Jian Chuan Ju will definitely give them ample time to make a decision and won't call Lan Zai back immediately.

However, everyone is now waiting for the Third Generation Lord's orders to be relayed.

It's really not right for me to just stand here like this with the little frog.

Just as Qing was thinking about whether or not to take Lanzi outside to wait,

With a 'bang,' Lanzi, who was holding the mission scroll, burst out of the office of the Water Shadow with a puff of white smoke.

Qing exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling as if he had been reborn.

However, this action eased the tense atmosphere in the office somewhat.

Let's set aside how the next three Mizukage plan to take revenge on Iwagakure.

The crew on the air ninja warship immediately began to act after receiving the Mizukage's order.

"Harpoon, you stay here and guard this ship, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive at the front."

"You can slowly use water jutsu to push the ship towards the front-line camp, otherwise it's hard to say when the people there will come looking for us with the ninja gulls."

"Yes!" The operative codenamed Harpoon accepted this somewhat daunting task.

However, Fu didn't have time to pay attention to the other person's emotions and turned to look at Jianchuan Ju.

"Lu, how's your recovery going?"

"There are no problems, Captain. He has basically recovered about 80 or 90%."

Fu didn't even bother to consider whether Jianchuan Ju was exaggerating; upon hearing this answer, he immediately assigned the task.

"That's good. Lu, use your flying ability to explore the way along the border of the Land of Fire. We will follow you on the sea and report any discoveries immediately."

"Yes, Captain."

Upon seeing that the captain had given the order, Tachibana Kanakawa, who was already standing on the edge of the deck, fell backward and headed towards the sea.

Upon seeing this, everyone instinctively wanted to go forward and check.

However, just as Jianchuan Ju was about to fall into the sea, she suddenly spread her wings and made an extreme turn while skimming the surface of the water.

The airflow then left two long white trails in the seawater before rushing rapidly into the sky.

Even though everyone present had witnessed Tachibana Kanagawa's flying ability, they still couldn't help but feel a sense of envy.

However, he still had a mission to complete and didn't have time to give everyone much to say.

"Shou, Shark. You two come with me."

After saying that, Fukuya released a huge bubble that enveloped the three of them, and they slowly rose into the air, drifting towards the direction that Kenkawa Tachibana was heading.

However, this speed was not much different from that of a few people running on the sea.

With a "sharp gaze" comparable to an eagle's eye, Tachibana Kenkawa has no need to worry about missing targets high in the sky.

Flying at full speed, they soon approached the coastline of the Land of Fire.

However, after scanning the surroundings, no ninja units from Kirigakure or Sunagakure were found.

After pondering for a moment, Jianchuan Ju decided not to rush back to report the situation and continued flying westward.

After flying forward for a while, just as Jianchuan Judu began to doubt whether he had gone astray from his target.

Then, in a distant, rocky canyon, several bursts of fire appeared one after another.

The sound of an explosion could still be faintly heard coming from there.

"That should be it."

Although I guessed it was probably the Hidden Mist Anbu and the ninjas chasing them fighting.

However, having not actually seen the target, Jianchuan Ju didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he flapped his wings and flew towards the canyon where the explosion had occurred.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the canyon, Jianchuan Ju dispelled the wings on its back and flipped over to land on the cliff above the canyon.

Now look closely.

You can clearly see the Hidden Mist ninjas fleeing in disarray below.

"This is a bit embarrassing. Usually when I see them at the Dark Guard base, they're all incredibly arrogant. How come they've become so pathetic now?"

Jianchuan Ju observed the battle from afar on the cliff, showing no intention of going down to help.

After all, the task that the Third Mizukage gave to Fuku and the others was simply to keep an eye on the movements of Sunagakure.

In case they choose to retreat directly after annihilating these hidden forces, leaving the frontline support troops empty-handed.

Moreover, his height and age were too obvious before.

Inside the ANBU base, Tachibana Kanagawa was frequently provoked to his face by these veteran ANBU members.

In the end, if it weren't for his kind communication skills—using both a ninja sword and healing—Tachibana Kenkawa might have been unable to survive in the Anbu long ago.

At this point, it's even less likely that they would meddle and help these people get out of trouble.

"Wait, as long as they're not all dead! What are they doing here?"
