Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 222 Cunning Villain! (Third Update)

Whirlpool Island isn't too far from the coastline of the Land of Fire.

While the Hidden Mist Village was still cleaning up the battlefield, most of them noticed the violent explosion coming from afar.

Moreover, the huge crater created by the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki detonating the Tailed Beast Ball at the front-line camp was still right in front of everyone, so naturally they would know what had happened.

Many people looked in astonishment toward the direction of the explosion.

Only the Third Mizukage, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed receiving treatment from Tachibana Kanagawa, seemed unmoved by the sudden explosion.

Only Tachibana Kanagawa, who was closest to him, could vaguely hear the Third Mizukage's calm and collected voice.

"Did they start fighting?"

Tachibana Kanagawa was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized what the Third Mizukage had said. Looking in the direction of the explosion, she subconsciously replied.

"It looks like a fight has broken out."

However, the Third Mizukage showed no further reaction, so Tachibana Kenkawa had no choice but to continue the treatment.

But what was on his mind was the explosion he had just heard.

"They must be fighting with Konoha, right? There's probably no one else around this close."

"Judging by the power of this explosion, it might be a full-power Tailed Beast Ball. Apart from Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique, it seems like no one in Konoha can withstand this kind of attack head-on."

"These bastards deserve to have their brains knocked out."

Even Jianchuan Ju himself didn't realize that after so long of assimilation, his thinking was becoming more and more aligned with the Kirigakure camp.

The Third Mizukage slightly opened his narrowed eyes, looked at the brat who dared to be distracted while treating him, and coughed twice.

"Little Orange, focus on your treatment!"

Jianchuan Ju broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly and awkwardly composed himself, focusing all his energy on activating the Palm Immortal Technique.

By the time the surrounding ninjas had finished cleaning up the battlefield, Tachibana Kenkawa had almost stabilized the Third Mizukage's injuries. At least, apart from being unable to fight for a short period of time, he was able to move around normally.

By this time, quite a few Jonin had gathered, and only then did Tachibana Kanagawa notice that Kushimaru Kurihara, who had been showing up all along, was missing an arm. His left arm was gone at the elbow and was wrapped in bandages all the way to his shoulder.

Looking at the bandages on his body, it didn't seem like he had just been injured and treated, and no one around him seemed surprised.

"Were you injured a couple of days ago? I was only away on this mission for five or six days, how much has happened? It feels like I've been gone for months!"

Seeing that Tachibana Kenkawa had stopped what he was doing, the Third Mizukage also sat up. Although there were still many injuries on the Third Mizukage's body that had only been treated by Tachibana Kenkawa and could not be considered as complete treatment, he had concealed them very well.

Only Tachibana Kanakawa knew the extent of the pain this old man was enduring beneath his calm exterior.

He took a clean coat and draped it over himself. The Third Mizukage looked around at the Kirigakure Jonin, almost all of whom were injured, and slowly spoke.

"What's the casualty situation?"

The surrounding ninjas were all Jonin level, and the Blood Mist ninjas were usually incredibly arrogant. But now, facing this old man who had lost his fighting ability, they all lowered their heads, and not one of them, including Yagura Karatachi, answered.

After the low pressure persisted for a moment, the Third Mizukage finally spoke again.

"Dispatch sensory ninjas and reconnaissance teams to patrol the area around Uzushima Island."

"Kurihara Kushimaru, send two teams of ANBU to check out the battlefield over there, just observe from a distance."

The Third Mizukage then looked towards the former frontline camp, which had been reduced to a huge crater.

"The rest of you set up a temporary camp first."

"What are you still standing there for?"

"Yes!" xN

Several Jonin with duties immediately dispersed to assign tasks, and even Ao, the leader of the sensory team, was not left behind, going to assist in organizing the defense mission.

Jianchuan Ju seized the opportunity and jogged over to Chunyu's side, quietly asking about what had happened in the past few days.

According to Chunyu's description.

Four days ago, not long after Jianchuan Ju left to carry out a mission.

The frontline camp of Kirigakure has just begun to move into the Land of Fire.

As Konoha continues to shrink its territory, Kirigakure's new frontline camp extends deep into the Land of Fire's interior, and they are also preparing to build ground catapults for the air ninja force within the new camp.

However, the camp was only half-built when it was attacked by the Hidden Cloud Village.

That's right, the attackers were not from Konoha, whose territory had been invaded, but from the ninjas of Kumogakure, who were also fighting against Konoha.

Furthermore, the frontline learned that on the same day, the Hidden Cloud Village also infiltrated the Land of Water and attacked the Hidden Mist Village.

On the front lines, Kumogakure mobilized a large number of ninjas, led by the Third Raikage, who directly destroyed the unfinished Kirigakure camp and also destroyed the ground catapult device that was being built, forcing Yagura Karatachi to lead his team back to Uzushima Island.

As for the local area of ​​Kirigakure.

In Chunyu's words, "Those bastards from Kumogakure are too treacherous and cunning."

The Hidden Cloud Village temporarily sealed the Two-Tails inside an unknown ninja, who then infiltrated the Hidden Mist Village.

Subsequently, the Two-Tails broke free of its seal near the Mizukage Building, causing considerable commotion. This gave the AB team the opportunity to break through the village's outer perimeter and launch a second attack.

The two tailed beasts wreaked havoc simultaneously, especially since one of them was the manifestation of a perfect Jinchūriki with rich combat experience, causing considerable casualties to Kirigakure.

Fortunately, the Third Mizukage displayed his great power, and with the help of a large number of reserve troops and ninja clans, the attackers were finally repelled.

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju couldn't help but worry and clenched her fists tightly.

There are quite a few people he cares about in the village: Aunt Huizi, Old Man Shuangyue, Xiaoyugao, and the bosses he often does tasks with.

However, Tachibana Kanagawa also knew that Haruyu didn't know these people and couldn't find out about their safety from him.

"Damn it! Those bastards from Kumogakure! You better pray they're alright!!"

At this moment, Jianchuan Ju wished he could fly back to Kirigakure immediately, but he also knew that his broken "Resurrection Prayer" could only revive people who died within 24 hours. Now that four days had passed, even if something had really happened, it would be useless for him to rush back.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue listening to the information from Chunyu's side.

During the attack that day, after the Third Mizukage repelled the enemy, he intended to take advantage of the situation to capture the ownerless Two-Tails and seal it away, so that the Hidden Cloud Village would suffer a loss in silence.

However, the Fourth Hokage, A, used a strange ninja tool to reseal the Two-Tails.

The Third Mizukage led his team in pursuit, and they arrived just in time for the Third Raikage's second attack on the Uzushima camp at the front lines.

After that, Tachibana Kenkawa learned what had happened.

The battle, which lasted for two days and two nights, completely destroyed the entire front-line camp of the Hidden Mist Village, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

"Have those bastards from Kumogakure gone mad?!"

It's past midnight again, come and praise me!
