Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 205 Lucky Green

Kirigakure Village, Sky Division, Second Ship.

Although Yagura sent the personnel of the escort ship to accompany him on this mission, the escort ship itself remained at the front-line camp.

After all, although it's called a frigate, it's really just a small sea vessel. The real protection comes from the ninjas on board.

This time, since the main ship of Jianchuan Ju was spacious enough, they simply sailed one ship and let everyone board the main ship.

on the deck.

On either side of the ravine, Mei Terumi and Zabuza leaned against the railing, gazing at the sea.

"The last time we traveled by boat together was when we were resting after retreating from the front-line camp, right?" Mei Terumi said listlessly, tossing her now-long hair.

"No way? It was the time you went to the Land of Lightning to steal Byakugan." Zabuza immediately retorted.

"Didn't we take a huge detour that time, ending up in the Land of Fire, and then sailing back all the way home?"

"When we went there! We took a boat to the border of the Land of Hot Springs! Idiot!"

After Zabuza finished speaking, he glanced disdainfully at Mei Terumi.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter, it was a long time ago anyway."

Jianchuan Ju watched with amusement as her two teammates bickered back and forth.

I, an adult, didn't even have a soul to lament, but these two kids are starting to feel melancholic and sentimental.

"Alright, it has been a while since we last saw each other."

Actually, it hasn't been that long. When Jianchuan Ju last returned to the village to rest, she even had a get-together with the Qing team.

However, since he first became a member of the Dark Division and later joined the Sky Division, he was constantly fighting on the front lines, which meant he had much less communication with his teammates.

"Well, what can I do? You're such a busy person, Ken! Kawa! Jonin!"

"That's right. Lord! Wind! Wing!!"

Seeing the strange expressions on the two people's faces, Tachibana Kenkawa didn't hold back and punched each of them on the head.

"Stop with the sarcastic remarks! I'm still your captain!"

At this moment, Qing, who had just come out of the cabin, silently retreated back inside.

"Yes, Captain."

Mei Terumi and Zabuza both lowered their heads, looking aggrieved.

However, all three of them immediately broke into smiles.

Okay, Zabuza's face is wrapped up so tightly with bandages that you can't see his smile.

At least the eyebrows, brow bones, and eyes have become much more curved!

After thinking for a moment, Tachibana Kanagawa spoke first, addressing Mei.

"Zabuza is a close-combat specialist, and now he's a decent sensory ninja. It's not bad for him to be in the sensory class with Ao-sensei."

"Ming, have you ever considered coming to the Air Force and joining me?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi first clenched her fist.

"Who the hell would want to hang out with you?"

However, he then straightened his expression and shrugged.

"Forget it, my Lava Release isn't really suited for aerial combat. I'll just stick to being a bodyguard for Ao-sensei."

Actually, what Jianchuan Ju wanted to say was...

"Spitting acid down from the air is actually quite suitable for air units; it's a significant blow to the enemy, both physically and psychologically."

However, seeing that Mei Terumi really didn't intend to develop her career in the Air Force, she didn't try to persuade her further on the matter.

Although the air force has a flight advantage, it often carries out relatively dangerous missions.

Following Teacher Qing, most of the time is spent in the central command, coordinating and sensing the troops, which might actually be safer.

At their age, neither of them needs to resort to dangerous combat to improve themselves.

"What about Zabuza? Heh heh, no one in the village has ever inherited the Samehada sword. Haven't you considered giving it a try?"

Of course, Jianchuan Ju was just joking when he said that.

Zabuza is currently only at the level of an elite Chunin, not a chakra tyrant like Kisame Hoshigaki. Samehada probably wouldn't even give him a second glance.

As expected, Zabuza simply replied with a dark expression.

"Not strong enough!"

"Hehe." Jianchuan Ju revealed a sly smile.

"I used the blunt sword *Kuro-giri* for a while, so I'd say I'm half a ninja swordsman."

However, seeing Zabuza's eyes practically spitting fire, Tachibana Kenkawa didn't provoke him any further.

So I changed the subject and asked.

"I've wanted to ask Teacher Qing for a while, but I haven't had the right opportunity."

"Why did the village transfer Teacher Qing to the front lines this time? Wasn't she doing a great job in the village's sensory unit's defense work before?"

After Tachibana Kanagawa finished speaking, she was met with a rather strange expression from Mei Terumi.

Instead, Zabuza spoke up to explain.

"It's the Third Hokage's order. I heard that the clan of Jonin Chukichi caused some major incident, and he himself was implicated."

"Teacher Qing is now the class monitor of the perception class."

"ah??"

Jianchuan Ju was also slightly surprised.

What kind of major incident could bring down the middle and upper management of a village like Zhongji?

"Could it be that their family has betrayed the village or they're selling information or something?"

Although I haven't had much contact with Chunji, he seems to be a Jonin who values ​​the village quite a bit. I never expected something like this to happen.

"Teacher Qing is quite lucky."

"Who can argue with that?"

Mei Terumi also pursed her lips.

The teacher leading our team has been rising through the ranks without any apparent reason.

Not only did he gain the Byakugan to improve his own abilities, but he also has three outstanding disciples of his own, and now he's almost made it into the village's upper echelons.

It wouldn't be surprising if Mei Terumi became the Mizukage one day.

"No way! If anyone should be the Mizukage, it should be me! Let Ao-sensei just be an elder!"

Mei Terumi thought to herself with a smug grin.

"Hey, what are you doing? You're drooling!"

Seeing that Mei Terumi had suddenly started to stare blankly and giggle, Tachibana Kenkawa had no choice but to wave his hand in front of her.

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi subconsciously wiped her mouth, then slapped away Tachibana Kanagawa's waving hand.

"You're lying again!"

Seeing Tachibana's ambiguous smile, Mei Terumi simply rolled her eyes.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he asked.

"Where's Lanzi? I haven't seen it at all!"

Kanakawa Tachibana remained silent for a moment.

"And the little guy likes you so much, what a joke!"

However, before Jianchuan Tachibana could finish speaking, the first squad leader named Kono ran over with a map, interrupting the three's conversation.

"Captain Jianchuan, we're almost at the designated location. Should we dock?"

With serious business at hand, Jianchuan Ju immediately abandoned his casual demeanor, took the map handed to him with a serious expression, and said...

"No need to dock; we have no requirements for landing. Everyone prepare their equipment and stand by. The boat can simply dock near this secluded islet."

Then, Tachibana turned to look at Mei Terumi and Zabuza beside her.

"You two go and fetch Ao-sensei and Kisame Hoshigaki. It's your turn to act."

Seeing Tachibana Kanagawa in this state for the first time, both of them were a little stunned, but they quickly reacted and ran to call for help.

Sorry, I was so engrossed in writing that I forgot to post today's chapter. I'm more than ten minutes late, and I apologize profusely.

There are no new chapters coming up, but I'll be adding extra chapters during the National Day holiday!
