Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 235 is impolite

Yesterday's mass takeoff must have frightened Mitokado Homura and the other Konoha ninja.

On the clear blue sea, the Konoha group, who had just stepped onto the deck, looked up.

Countless flying ninjas flew in formation, whistling through the sky and tearing it apart.

Like a colossal beast blotting out the sky, it enveloped the entire sea area. The light blue metallic glider reflected a cold light in the sunlight, and the shadows on the deck pieced together to form a huge picture.

If a flight formation of this size were to launch a collective air raid on Konoha, the damage would be no less than that caused by a tailed beast attack.

Unlike Tachibana Kanagawa, who stood aside with agitated emotions, all the Konoha ninjas, including Homura Mitokado, had their hearts pounding and broke out in a cold sweat.

Before this, although the Air Force had four squadrons, it would only send one or two squadrons to attack together in most war missions. Sometimes, the attacking squadrons would also leave some flying ninjas to protect the aircraft carrier.

This time, however, the Mist Shadows not only brought out the dozens of Air Force members still stationed at the front-line camp, but also their reserve team, making the impact incomparable to the previous ones.

In Konoha's previous intelligence reports, the oppressive feeling caused by a well-organized air force unit had never been felt so realistically.

Seeing this, Jianchuan Ju even pretended to comment from the side.

"Lord Mizukage still attaches great importance to the safety of you distinguished guests. My subordinates will be patrolling the coastline of the Land of Fire to ensure your personal safety."

Nara Shikaku, standing to the side, looked at Kenkawa Tachibana with astonishment in his eyes and muttered to himself.

"Are these all your subordinates?"

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Kanagawa gave Shikaku Nara a friendly smile, seemingly unafraid of his boast being exposed.

"Yes, I am the second squad leader of the Air Force. This mission is to escort you all back to the Land of Fire."

Nara Shikaku looked up again at the flying ninjas who were now scattered in groups of four toward the coastline of the Land of Fire, and his heart skipped a beat.

"What are these?"

This time, Tachibana Kanakawa didn't continue to answer, but simply smiled and looked up at the sky.

Whether they were subordinates of Jianchuan Tachibana or not was no longer important. Even if Konoha later learned the exact number of the Air Force through other sources, the shock brought about today would still be etched in their hearts.

If Konoha ever decides to launch another attack on Kirigakure in the future, these people will surely remember today's scene.

The flight formation then escorted the Konoha members all the way to the coast of the Land of Fire.

Even as these people disembarked, Tachibana Kenkawa was still feigning sentimentality.

"It's a pity we have other tasks to complete, otherwise we would definitely escort you all to Konoha Village."

"Oh dear, that's really impolite!"

No one in Konoha paid any attention to Tachibana's sighs. As soon as their feet touched the ground, they rushed off into the distance without even a word of farewell.

Jianchuan Ju didn't care about the rudeness of these people and just stood quietly on the deck.

Only after the Konoha ninjas disappeared from sight did he order the Sky ninjas, who were flying and practicing maneuvers, to all return to their camp on Uzushima Island.

Of course, all of this happened yesterday.

At this moment, Tachibana Kenkawa had handed over all of her "subordinates" to the department head Haruame, including her true direct subordinates like Kono.

He himself sneaked up to the command post tent at the front-line camp, ignoring Mei Terumi and Zabuza who were standing guard at the entrance, and quietly lifted the tent flap and went inside.

"Hey, Teacher Qing, busy?"

Qing, who was writing something at her desk, looked up and saw Jianchuan Ju walking towards her with a fawning expression.

Qing put down the scroll in his hand, speechless, and just stared at Jianchuan Ju without saying a word.

Jianchuan Ju didn't seem to care at all, and continued speaking cautiously with a hint of excitement.

"Teacher Qing, what's your thought about what I told you yesterday?"

Seeing the way Jianchuan Ju was cautiously rubbing her hands together like flies, Qing helplessly asked a question instead of answering.

"Have you arranged everything for your second squad?"

"I handed things over with Minister Chunyu early this morning, and I also subtly reminded all the squad leaders under my command."

When it came to work-related matters, Tachibana Kenkawa became a little more serious. After all, this was during wartime, and any small mistake could cost his subordinates their lives.

Qing nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, still trusting Jianchuan Ju's abilities. He then asked again.

"Have you thought it through? Are you really going to go out on a mission alone?"

That's right, what Jianchuan Ju wanted Qing to help her with was arranging a mission that would allow her to leave the camp and go out alone for an extended period of time.

When Jianchuan Tachibana learned that the village had assigned her to go to the front lines, but she didn't have any real mission, this idea popped into her head.

The village leadership's requirement for the air force to conduct regular exercises is primarily based on the number of flying ninjas, and also on orders to refrain from unnecessary battles; not a single one of them will be added.

Meanwhile, their own teacher was in charge at the front lines, and all the ninjas in the front-line camps had to obey the orders of the front-line command.

Assigning Tachibana Kenkawa a mission to go out and conduct reconnaissance or surveillance in a certain place is not exactly outside his capabilities.

It's important to know that if a ninja leaves the village without a mission, he could be labeled a rogue ninja.

Even during a mission, if someone disappears for an extended period, it will be considered an accidental death. If they later try to return to the village, they will inevitably be treated as a potential spy and subjected to torture.

He was doing quite well in Kirigakure, and with so many bonds between him, he had absolutely no intention of becoming a rogue ninja.

Now that she has such a good opportunity to move around freely, Tachibana Kenkawa naturally wants to make the most of it.

As for what to do during free time.

Firstly, Tachibana Kanagawa's "Description" technique is still unused. He tried to capture a member of the Snow Clan to steal Ice Release, but ended up fusing with it himself first.

Naturally, the current goal is to take advantage of the chaos of the Ninja World War to find other suitable bloodline limits and unlock more attribute pools for oneself.

On the other hand, Tachibana Kenkawa had not forgotten the series of changes that Kirigakure would soon experience. Although the situation of the current Ninja World War had completely changed and it was unknown whether the events of the original story would happen again, Tachibana Kenkawa still wanted to make some preparations in advance, just in case.

However, neither of these reasons is suitable to explain to Ao right now, which is why Tachibana Kenkawa can only awkwardly and shamelessly come to make a request.

"Teacher Qing, does that mean you agree?"
