Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 270 A World with You

Jianchuan Ju flapped its wings and quickly caught up with Chunyu and the others.

Although Chunyu and the others had noticed the terrifying sight of Jianchuan Ju's final attack, they did not stop and wait for Jianchuan Ju to come over.

After all, they were fleeing for their lives. Who knew how many people from the Hidden Cloud Village had survived, or if there would be any reinforcements?

Only after Jianchuan Ju fell from the sky and the sea surface froze into a large area of ​​solid ice due to the white flames beneath her feet did the group slow down their pace slightly.

Jianchuan Ju retracted its pure white wings and looked intently at the crowd.

The original Mist Shadow Dark Division action team of more than 20 people has now been reduced to only six.

Furthermore, Tachibana Kenkawa noticed that Yuka Tamura was not among the six people.

Is he dead?

A hint of sadness appeared between Jianchuan Ju's brows.

I had even consulted him about illusion techniques back then, but I never expected to die so easily in this mission.

It seems that on the battlefield, life always disappears so unexpectedly.

"This fucked-up world!"

However, these thoughts only flashed through Tachibana Kanakawa's mind for a moment, and now was not the time to grieve for the deceased.

Looking at Chunyu, who was still relatively unharmed, Jianchuan Ju spoke quickly.

"Captain Chunyu, don't go back to the village! Something might have happened inside the village. Go to the front-line camp and find Teacher Qing!"

Everyone stared in astonishment at Jianchuan Ju, wondering why he would say such a thing.

Even Chunyu stopped in her tracks, wanting to ask Jianchuan Ju if she had discovered something.

As soon as Jianchuan Ju finished speaking, the flames on her body disappeared, her clothes, which had been dyed white, turned back to dark blue, and she simply and neatly fainted with her head tilted to the side.

"Dr. Tachibana!"

"Croak! Σ(°△°|||)"

Seeing that Tachibana's figure was falling directly onto the ice, the fastest-reacting Lan and Kisame rushed forward to catch him.

Only then did everyone realize that Tachibana Kenkawa had completely lost consciousness.

Chunyu glanced at Jianchuan Ju, then looked back at the battlefield, gritted her teeth, and gave the order.

"Let's get out of here!"

Battlefield on the coastline of the Land of Lightning.

By this time, not only had the Kirigakure ANBU squad already withdrawn, but even the Cloud Village troops, which had suffered heavy casualties, had collected the bodies of their comrades and left.

But on the battlefield, which was originally deserted, a spiral-shaped spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared, distorting and revealing itself.

Then a figure with long, flowing hair emerged from the space, cradling the girl's corpse.

After Obito Uchiha appeared, he staggered and knelt down on the ground.

"Ugh~" A mouthful of blood, along with a few fragments of internal organs, was vomited from his mouth.

However, the boy paid no attention to his own injuries. Instead, he held the girl in his arms tightly to prevent his blood from getting on her.

The boy ignored the bloody, devastated battlefield around him and stared blankly at the girl in his arms.

"Lin, I want it again."

"To create a world where you exist once again."

Actually, when he was fighting Tachibana Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, who hid in the Kamui dimension, did not choose to run away directly.

Instead, she was restrained in the Kamui dimension by Nohara Rin, who had fully unleashed the "Zero Eight-Tails".

The strength of "Zero Eight-Tails" was not much worse than that of the real Eight-Tails. Even without the replenishment of negative emotions and without any rationality in the Kamui dimension, it was not something that ordinary ninjas could deal with.

In contrast, Obito Uchiha was not only frozen on one side by the "Aurora Beam," but also fell into a state of weakness and other negative effects. In the Kamui dimension, he also lost his greatest reliance, "Kamui Intangibility."

If it weren't for the Wood Release ability and strong vitality bestowed upon him by White Zetsu, he might have died inexplicably in his own Kamui dimension.

Moreover, Obito Uchiha held back at every turn, hoping that after he controlled the "Zero Eight-Tails," he would still have a chance to save Rin Nohara.

However, no matter how much effort Obito Uchiha made, the outcome was already irreversible.

On the surface, the "Zero Eight-Tails" created by Kirigakure was originally intended to be used as a one-time "nuclear weapon." Unlike the treatment of Jinchuriki, the life of the host was never considered from the beginning. The moment the seal was broken, the host was destined to die.

In secret, as the mastermind behind all this, Madara Uchiha, in order to completely corrupt Obito Uchiha and carry out his plan without any worries, would not spare Rin Nohara's life.

So even though the "Zero Eight-Tails" disappeared for no apparent reason in the end, all Obito Uchiha, who was seriously injured, got was a corpse.

"Obito, it's time to go." The somewhat high-pitched voice of the masked white Zetsu came from Uchiha Obito.

Kneeling on the ground, Obito Uchiha looked at the two headbands from Kumogakure and Kirigakure that had fallen from some unknown corpse, as well as the two enormous icebergs on the battlefield.

It released the spatial vortex once more and slowly disappeared from the spot.

He seemed to be vaguely muttering "Hidden Mist... Hidden Clouds"

the other side.

Jianchuan Ju, who had fallen into a coma due to overuse of acupressure, slowly woke up, and the first thing she felt was a feeling of weakness that permeated her entire body.

Fortunately, compared to her previous match against Minato Namikaze, Tachibana Kenkawa has made significant progress in all aspects.

The continuous ultra-low temperature under the "Flame White Mode" also allowed Jianchuan Ju's stamina to continuously recover during the battle, so apart from the physical weakness, there were no other negative symptoms such as soreness or lethargy.

Even Tachibana Kanagawa felt that if he hadn't forcibly activated 'Chakra Amplification' a second time at the end, he could have recovered most of his condition after a short rest after the battle.

"Hmm, probably?"

After assessing her current physical condition, Tachibana Kenkawa reopened her eyes and realized that she seemed to be moving at high speed.

Ahead lay the still turbulent sea, and the scenery in sight seemed to be rushing past at breakneck speed.

"What's going on?"

As soon as Tachibana Kenkawa moved his body slightly, Kisame Hoshigaki's voice came from behind him.

"Dr. Tachibana, you're awake?"

It was only then that Tachibana Kanagawa realized that she was being carried on her back by Kisame Hoshigaki, who was running on the sea.

The others stopped and came over when they heard Kisame Hoshigaki's voice.

Seeing the worried looks around her, Jianchuan Ju asked hesitantly.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"Four hours," came Chunyu's reply.

Hearing the answer, which was less than she had expected, Tachibana Kanakawa breathed a slight sigh of relief, then asked somewhat anxiously.

"Which direction are we heading now?"

"Uzushima Camp"

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju finally felt relieved.

Looking at the faces of the people who had just gone through life and death with him, Tachibana Kanakawa felt a little moved.

For ninjas, it doesn't matter whether the mission succeeds or fails.

Failing to report back to the village immediately after completing a mission could, to put it bluntly, be considered an act of treason.

However, just because of a single sentence she uttered before she fell unconscious, she was able to unconditionally trust her judgment and choose to proceed towards the Whirlpool Island camp. This profound trust moved Tachibana Kanagawa deeply.

She gently patted Kisame, who was carrying her on his back, signaling him to put her down first.

Kanakawa Tachibana stood somewhat unsteadily on the sea.

Kisame Hoshigaki turned around and reached out to support Tachibana Kanekawa, asking worriedly.

"Are you alright, Dr. Tachibana?"

Jianchuan Ju nodded slightly, then looked at everyone.

"Gentlemen, we may be in trouble now."
