Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 203 Let's Just Kill Him (Bonus Chapter for Naming)

Akimichi Torifu is no nobody.

He has been active since the First Shinobi World War and is now a regular feature in the ninja handbooks of various ninja villages.

If it were Jianchuan Ju leading the team to besiege and defeat the opponent, no one would be too surprised.

However, Yagura Karatachi said he killed it alone.

This makes one have to think even more highly of Jianchuan Ju's strength.

However, being stared at like a rare species only made Tachibana Kanagawa feel more embarrassed.

The last time he received this kind of attention was when he had just become the captain of the air force squadron.

Jianchuan Ju quickly coughed twice, interrupting the others' discussion.

Yagura explained to the tachibana plant.

"The main reason was that Akimichi Torifu was so focused on destroying our mothership that I was able to ambush and kill him."

Although she was already quite famous, Tachibana Kanagawa still didn't want to be too flashy, so she tried to be more discreet when she spoke.

But Yagura continued to smile and say something.

"Successfully protecting the mothership is a major achievement."

"It's just my duty."

Seeing that Tachibana was repeatedly modest, Yagura did not continue to praise him, but instead said something else.

"I have a pretty good ninjutsu here. Jonin Jianchuan can stay behind later as a reward for his extra contribution to this mission."

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju's eyes lit up.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?! That's right! I killed him! I killed him all by myself!"

"As for ninjutsu, I'm not picky; the Water Mirror Technique is quite good!"

Of course, Tachibana Kenkawa only thought these words in her mind, but she still sincerely thanked him aloud.

Since we've already reaped the benefits, we should keep a low profile, otherwise trouble is bound to come knocking.

The meeting became somewhat boring after that.

It wasn't just about logistical issues within the camp; it was about analyzing various rumors circulating in the ninja world and deciding whether to take action.

Kanakawa Tachibana even heard a rumor that a very active new organization had recently emerged within the Land of Rain.

However, because the Land of Rain is too far from the Land of Water, and because Hanzo the Salamander, the "Demigod of the Ninja World," displayed his divine power in the last Ninja World War, the main battlefield of the three kingdoms of fire, earth, and wind was not set within the territory of the Land of Rain this time.

Therefore, a newly emerging organization within the Land of Rain has not received much attention from everyone present.

After the meeting.

Tachibana Kanagawa was originally looking forward to Yagura teaching him ninjutsu.

But to everyone's surprise, he wasn't the only one left behind.

Harusame, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Ao were also left behind.

Kanakawa Tachibana immediately sensed that something was wrong.

As expected, Yagura Karatachi spoke with a serious expression.

"I'm leaving you behind because, besides the ninjutsu, there's a special mission that you need to lead."

Jianchuan Ju suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, internally ranting and raving.

"As expected! I knew it wouldn't be anything good. Otherwise, why would there be extra rewards for killing enemies when completing a mission?"

"That Yagura guy is getting more and more cunning. No wonder he kept flattering me before."

Unfortunately, this was during wartime, and Tachibana Kanakawa had no right to refuse such a task assigned by superiors; he could only obediently listen.

Seeing the distressed look on Tachibana's face, Yagura's serious expression softened, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"You will lead the team for this mission, with Kisame Hoshigaki and Ao assisting you."

"Return the prisoners of war from Konoha to the troops!"

"Prisoners? Hand them over?"

Tachibana looked at Yagura with a puzzled expression.

Yagura, without hiding anything, briefly explained the situation.

The Sand Village's Scorching Release, Pakura, who was captured by Konoha's Minato Namikaze in the previous three-way battle between water, fire, and wind, was originally intended to be returned to the Sand Village in exchange for some benefits or a peace treaty.

However, the two sides could not reach an agreement at the beginning, and Sunagakure was still eyeing Konoha with hostility, so the negotiations were put on hold.

Yekura was imprisoned by Konoha for a full six months.

However, seeing that Konoha was in decline, Sunagakure once again launched an attack on the Land of Rivers, forcing the exhausted Konoha to propose negotiations again.

"The specific details of the negotiations are still unknown, but returning the Scorching Leaf Village is definitely an important condition."

"And what I need you to do is stop this prisoner return."

After Yagura finished speaking, he stood on tiptoe and patted Tachibana Kanagawa on the shoulder.

However, Tachibana Kanakawa remained unmoved and instead asked a question.

"How does Lord Yagura want me to prevent the prisoners from being returned?"

"Recruiting is the best option!"

"what?"

Not only was Jianchuan Ju completely astonished, but the others beside her were also full of questions.

Clearly, they were unaware of Yagura's thoughts beforehand.

However, Yagura himself said with a face full of excitement.

"The Sand Village kept Pakura in Konoha for half a year, so it's impossible that Pakura herself didn't harbor resentment."

"Moreover, it was already known that Yekura was the loser in the struggle for the position of Kazekage against the current Fourth Kazekage, Rasa. Even if she successfully returns to Sunagakure now, she will not be able to hold a high position again; at most, she will exist as a henchman."

"On the contrary, when she came to our side, the three generations of elders promised her a high-ranking position in the village and fully supported her in establishing her own bloodline family."

However, Yagura Karikawa didn't take in much of what he was saying.

Yes, what you said makes sense. But...

"I'm here to recruit Yekura???"

Kenkawa Tachibana almost asked Yagura, the tachibana, if he was sick.

I believe that I owe a third of the credit to Yecang's current predicament. Let alone trying to recruit him, we'd probably end up fighting as soon as we meet.

In this situation, if the village arranges for me to recruit them, is it really because they think I've been too active lately and want me to die out there?

Although he was interrupted by Tachibana Kanagawa, Yagura Karatachi didn't seem to mind too much.

He then offered words of comfort.

"Although you participated in the battle that led to Yekura's capture, you were only a Chunin at that time, and everyone was fighting for their own side on the battlefield."

"If she can't even accept this, then even if we successfully recruit her, she'll be a menace."

At this point, the excitement on Yagura's face faded, and he spoke coldly.

"Then kill her."

Yagura looked calmly at Tachibana.

"What the village wants is for Konoha and Sunagakure to not cease hostilities, and your mission is to prevent Konoha from returning Pakura, whether by recruiting her or killing her."

After hearing this, Jianchuan Ju nodded. That's more like it. What a load of rubbish!

"I'm just a newly promoted Jonin! How the hell do you think I'm going to kill Pakura?"

The three ninja swordsmen who worked together on the battlefield before couldn't accomplish this. Even with the addition of the people around him and the air force, the difficulty is still a bit too much, isn't it?

Seemingly sensing Tachibana's predicament, Yagura Karatachi offered a brief explanation.

"Yakura was imprisoned by Konoha for half a year, so her strength must have been affected. The village won't assign you a mission you can't complete."

As he spoke, Yagura patted Tachibana Kanagawa on the shoulder again.

Only then did Jianchuan Ju see a glimmer of hope for completing the mission.

only.

"Instead of going through the trouble of recruiting her, let's just take advantage of her weakness and ambush her to kill her."

Kenkawa Tachibana thought to himself.

Thank you everyone for helping me come up with a title.

As for whether to change it or not, I want to wait and see for a few more days. I'm really torn.

I really think this book title is pretty good, haha.

However, I'll add the extra chapter today; it's not good to delay it for too long.

It's just a pity that I only have two chapters left in my drafts, T_T 555

P.S.: Just between you and me, I think the best name is "The Mizukage Can't Use 100,000 Volts".

I feel like if it were someone else's book title, I'd click on it to read it, hehe~
