Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 139 Rescue

The original mission of these members of the Fog Shadow Dark Division was to sow discord between the Wind and Fire Kingdoms.

Therefore, not all of them were wearing the Kirigakure Anbu uniform.

The equipment these people wore was varied; some were dressed like Konoha ninjas, while others looked like Sunagakure ninjas.

This led Tachibana Kanagawa to initially focus her attention on the unmasked Kirigakure ninjas.

Even those from Sunagakure were glanced at a few more times by Tachibana Kanagawa.

Only after completing the rounds did they begin to observe the few individuals dressed in Mist Shadow Anbu equipment.

However, among these masked members of the Dark Guard, Tachibana Kanagawa spotted two familiar faces.

Although the standard equipment of the Dark Guard is all the same, they also wear masks.

However, it's mainly just a cover for outsiders; if you run into someone you know, they'll recognize you at a glance.

"Depend on!"

Before he could think any further, he saw that his two acquaintances had been cornered by several Sand Village ninja and were on the verge of death.

Jianchuan Ju didn't care about the mission requirements anymore, and simply put her arms together and jumped off the cliff.

It swooped down toward the two people who were being besieged.

The wind whistled past my ears.

Just as Jianchuan Ju was about to crash straight to the ground...

Chakra wings rapidly unfurled behind him.

Then, with a "pong" sound, it caught the rising airflow.

In an instant, the rapid decline of the Jianchuan oranges was halted.

That wasn't all. After the chakra wings enveloped the airflow, Tachibana Kenkawa mustered all his strength and flapped his chakra wings on his back.

The violent wind, comparable to a wind-style ninjutsu, instantly sent the ninjas directly below him flying.

A small number of weaker ninjas were even pushed several meters away by the strong wind.

Even the two acquaintances who came to help Jianchuan Ju were slammed against the rock wall behind them by the strong wind.

With such a good opportunity, Tachibana Kenkawa was naturally not satisfied with merely interrupting the enemy's offensive.

After landing, Tachibana Kenkawa did not stop moving.

He bent down and drew his divine spear from his back, then quickly turned around in place while half-crouching, leaving a dazzling white streak in the air.

"Divine Spear * Iaijutsu"

In an instant, the sounds of sharp blades piercing flesh filled the air, wiping out all the Sand Village members who had come to attack.

The short blade was sheathed.

Only then did Jianchuan Ju remember to turn around and take a look.

Yes, the two people he had saved had just fallen off the rock face that was right next to him.

Perfect~

However, because Tachibana Kenkawa's entrance was quite impressive, many Sunagakure soldiers who were fighting elsewhere noticed this direction.

Some of them abandoned the other Mist Village ANBU members they were besieging and rushed towards Jianchuan Ju.

Without time for pleasantries, Jianchuan Ju immediately rushed to the two of them and scooped them up, one in each arm.

It took to the air again.

"Where did this 'Hidden Mist' come from?"

"Leave them!"

Seeing that Tachibana Kenkawa had rescued the two, the Sunagakure soldiers who had surrounded them threw a large number of shuriken into the air in frustration.

However, this attack couldn't even touch the tail gas of Jianchuan Ju, and could only watch him fly away into the distance with resentment.

Once back on the cliff, Jianchuan Ju finally put the two people down from his arms.

To be fair, it's a bit strenuous to fly with two people at once, so Tachibana Kenkawa didn't fly too far.

The two, who had only just come to their senses, looked at Tachibana Kanagawa, who had saved them, with lingering fear.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked the question.

"Are you Orange?"

"Nonsense, who else could it be?"

Somewhat speechless, Tachibana Kanagawa removed his Anbu mask and looked at Shingetsu Hozuki and Yuka Tamura.

That's right, the two people from Ken's team were saved by Tachibana Ken.

However, both of them were dressed in ANBU uniforms, which meant they had obviously joined the ANBU at some point.

The two exchanged a glance and then removed their masks.

Hozuki Shingetsu asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Tachibana, when did you join the Anbu?"

Actually, when Jianchuan Ju used the divine spear before, the two had already recognized his identity.

However, this unprecedented flying ninjutsu, along with the ability to instantly kill more than a dozen ninjas, made even the usually lively Hozuki Shingetsu somewhat hesitant to recognize the other party.

But now that the mask has been removed, it can't be someone else in disguise, right?

Jianchuan Ju rolled her eyes at the two of them.

"I was about to ask you the same thing. How did you end up joining the Dark Division?"

These two weren't much older than him, yet they had quietly joined the Dark Division and were assigned to carry out such a high-risk mission.

Moreover, he has quite a reputation in the Dark Division. Although he hasn't been there long, he has earned his reputation through fighting.

These two guys don't even know who they are.

"Captain Ken Azusa also chose to transfer to the second line. We were waiting for the village to redistribute the teams, but instead we were summoned by the Third Generation Lord."

"Well, it might not be a bad thing if Zi goes to the second line."

Azusa was already a bit older than Shingetsu and the other two, so she could transfer to become a teacher or support staff at the Ninja Academy.

This is also a good option for ordinary ninjas.

However, during wartime, voluntarily requesting to withdraw from the second line will likely subject one to considerable criticism in the future.

"Ju, what are you doing here? I don't remember you being here when we set off?"

Seeing that the two were going to continue talking, Tamura Yuka, who was standing to the side, was so anxious that she started sweating.

It should be noted that the cliff where the three of them were standing was not far from the battlefield below.

The sounds of fierce fighting below can still be clearly heard, yet these two still have the leisure to chat here.

Yuka Tamura, who was not good with words to begin with, had no idea how to interrupt the two who were having such a great conversation, and could only stand by anxiously.

However, what he didn't know was that Tachibana Kanakawa's mission didn't require any rescue at all.

If it weren't for the presence of the two of them, Tachibana Kenkawa wouldn't have needed to show his face at all; he could have simply kept an eye on Sunagakure's movements.

In other words, Tachibana Kenkawa doesn't really care about the rules of the Anbu. If it were any other Anbu ninja, even if all the Kirigakure troops below were wiped out, he would just continue to monitor them indifferently.

Perhaps he sensed Tamura Yuka's anxiety.

Jianchuan Ju explained with a smile.

"The village has already sent a large force to support us. What we need to do now is keep a close eye on these people from Sunagakure and make sure the support forces can't find them when they arrive."

However, the smile on Tachibana Kenkawa's face vanished the moment she finished speaking.

He shoved the two people in front of him away and used the reaction force to leap backward.

In the next instant, several blazing fireballs shot towards the spot where the three had just stood.

Hozuki Shingetsu and the other two were fortunate enough to be saved by Kenkawa Tachibana once again.

They saw that the blazing red fireball, which was clearly shooting at great speed, suddenly changed direction just before it hit the ground, and quickly scattered, attacking the three of them separately.

The attack did not end there!
