Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 248 Fists still have to do the talking.

To have a knife pointed at your head in public by a kid who's less than a third your age.

Even Xuefeng, the patriarch of the Xue clan and a man of considerable composure, blushed deeply at this moment.

"You, Jianchuan Ju, aren't made of clay. Do you think we, the Snow Clan, are so easy to bully?"

"Does he really think he can do whatever he wants just because he has a bit of fame?!"

As Yukikaze finished speaking, dozens of Yuki clan ninjas immediately appeared and gathered behind him.

This area was originally the Snow Clan's frontline camp, and they instantly gained the upper hand in terms of numbers.

All the members of the Snow Clan glared unkindly at Jianchuan Ju and the dozen or so members of the Second Squad present.

"Oh"

Kanakawa Tachibana's eyes revealed a mocking expression.

However, we won't wait for Jianchuan Tachibana to make any further moves this time.

A figure appeared instantly in front of the crowd of onlookers.

It was Kisame Hoshigaki who rushed over upon hearing the news.

When Kisame Hoshigaki arrived, he merely glanced at the situation on the field, without asking any questions or saying anything. He simply nodded to Tachibana Kanagawa, walked straight behind him, and turned to confront the Yuki clan with him.

Meanwhile, Kisame Hoshigaki, who had come along to join the fun, grinned and revealed a mouthful of sharp teeth, and stood behind Tachibana Kenkawa with the same swagger.

The actions of these three ninja swordsmen seem to have triggered some kind of switch.

One by one, ninjas stepped out from the crowd and silently stood behind the second squad.

Among them were wounded soldiers who had been rescued by Tachibana Kenkawa on the battlefield.

There are combat units that have been covered and supported by the Sky Division ninjas.

There are also ordinary ninjas who admire Tachibana Kenkawa simply because of his consistent battle record.

The reasons are varied, but they all converge on the back of Jianchuan Ju.

Even the ANBU member who had previously tried to stop Jianchuan Ju was pulled to the back of the crowd by his male companion.

In the blink of an eye, the number of people gathered behind Tachibana Kenkawa far exceeded that of the Yuki clan's ninjas, and their quality was far superior.

Now look at the two people facing off in the arena.

Kanakawa Tachibana revealed a genuine smile, looking at Yukikaze with a defiant expression.

Xuefeng, on the other hand, had a face as black as the bottom of a pot and remained silent, lost in thought.

Fortunately, Qing's arrival at this moment relieved Xuefeng's embarrassment.

From the moment Jianchuan Ju led his men directly into the camp and landed, to the increasing number of ninjas gathering here to watch, it was clear that this was all part of the story.

With such a commotion, it's impossible for Qing, as the current highest-ranking commander on the front lines, not to come and check on the situation.

Accompanying him was Chunyu, the Minister of the Air Force, who was ordered to assist Qing in commanding the front lines.

After Qing arrived, she first glared at Jianchuan Ju, then, as if nothing had happened, asked in a dignified manner.

"What's going on here? This is a front-line camp! It's wartime! What are so many people doing here?"

Upon seeing Qing's arrival, Jianchuan Tachibana lowered the short sword slightly, but still did not sheath it. Instead, she curled her lip towards Yukikaze and spoke.

"The Yuki clan hired ninjas from another village to attack me, and the fourth squad leader of the Sky Division even transferred the patrol unit, creating an opportunity for the attack."

No sooner had Tachibana Kanakawa finished speaking than Yukikaze immediately retorted.

"Nonsense!"

At this point, Yukikaze was also in a bit of a dilemma.

Originally, offering a reward for Jianchuan Ju was not considered dangerous for the entire Snow Clan.

If Jianchuan Ju died outside, not only would there be no plaintiff, but even if others eventually found some clues, no one would make things too difficult for the Xue clan for the sake of a dead genius.

At worst, we'll just have to give up a small amount of profit; this loss is negligible compared to the emergence of a second Ice Release clan in Kirigakure.

To ensure the success rate of the bounty, the Snow Clan also provided a considerable amount of information about Kanagawa Tachibana free of charge.

Even if they failed to kill Jianchuan Ju, their family would only offer a reward and would not expose themselves. At most, it would only arouse some suspicion in Jianchuan Ju.

Given enough time, the Snow Clan could eliminate this hidden danger, or even continue to spend money and manpower to assassinate Jianchuan Ju.

However, who would have thought that Xue Lin, this good-for-nothing, not only used extremely crude methods to transfer his subordinates, but was also directly captured and brought back by Jianchuan Tachibana.

Moreover, Tachibana Kanagawa was surprisingly direct, daring to storm the frontline camp based solely on suspicion and conjecture.

Yukikaze has no intention of arguing with Kanakawa Tachibana about who is right and who is wrong.

Regardless, the Snow Clan has completely lost face today, and all he wants now is to calm things down as soon as possible.

And this moment.

Yukikaze could only hope that Ao, the highest-ranking commander on the front lines and also the teacher of that brat Tachibana Kenkawa, would temporarily suppress the matter out of consideration for the Yuki clan's influence in Kirigakure.

"Lord Ao, the accusations made by Jonin Kanagawa earlier are utter nonsense. Now that things have escalated to this point, if another village attacks the camp, it could lead to a major disaster."

"At that point, you probably won't be able to explain it to the third generation elders and the village's higher-ups, will you?"

To everyone's surprise, Qing's expression didn't change at all when she heard Xuefeng's words, as if she were saying, "What are you talking about?"

Then he turned to look at Chunyu, who had been waiting beside him.

"Minister Haruyu, what's your opinion? Both Tachibana and Yukorin are your subordinates in the Sky Division. Now that they've caused such a commotion, how do you think it should be handled?"

Chunyu hadn't expected Qing to just dump the matter on her like that. After coughing twice, she said somewhat indifferently.

"Although both sides have their own version of events, causing trouble in the camp will definitely be punished, I suggest."

Although Xuefeng's face did not change upon hearing this, he was secretly delighted.

There's no evidence yet that the family hired someone to assassinate Jianchuan Ju, but this brat broke into the camp and caused trouble openly, and so many people were watching.

"As long as we can get through this today."

However, Qing interrupted Chunyu's next words.

He said this to Jianchuan Ju.

"Did you hear that? Minister Chunyu said that we can't cause trouble in the front-line camp. You should resolve your personal issues outside the camp."

After thinking for a moment, Qing added a sentence.

"In the end, ninjas still have to settle things with their fists!"

Chunyu looked at Qing speechlessly.

Actually, he meant something similar, so there was no need for Qing to interrupt him so hastily.

However, although the two had been working together for several months, Jianchuan Tachibana had hardly been at the front-line camp during those months.

It's understandable that Qing doesn't understand Chunyu's attitude towards Jianchuan Ju.

On the other side...

After listening to Qing and Chunyu's back-and-forth, Jianchuan Ju gave Xuefeng a bright smile.
