Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 281 A Last Glimmer of Light

Although the disappearance of Yagura's body cast a shadow over everyone's previously relaxed mood.

But since the enemy hiding in the shadows did not show up, the group had no choice but to collect the remaining corpses and leave the place quickly.

However, after everyone had left, two figures slowly and mysteriously emerged from underground.

The tall, white figure suddenly had a huge gash split open in its chest, like a pitcher plant, from which the unconscious Yagura Karatachi was expelled.

"Pah!"

"Seriously, this guy's useless now, why should we save him?"

Beside them, another figure, half black and half white, glanced at Yagura Karatachi on the ground and said cheerfully.

"Hehe, this is Lord Madara's order, so I can't help it~ Besides, I quite like him~"

However, at this moment, another somewhat hoarse and gloomy voice came from the half-black and half-white figure.

"Alright, enough talk! Obito should be waking up soon, we need to get back as soon as possible."

"What about this guy? Is it okay to leave him here?"

"Lord Madara only said he would spare his life; what happens next is up to Obito to decide."

After saying that, Black and White Jue's body began to slowly sink again, but the white side continued to mutter to itself.

"I really don't understand why Madara-sama would transfer all the remaining life force in the Golem to Obito."

Meanwhile, the towering white Zetsu, which was also sinking, spoke up impatiently, giving a reprimand.

"Hey! You don't need to worry about this kind of thing."

Unexpectedly, Black and White Jue, whose only part was his head sticking out, immediately started complaining loudly.

"I told you, my name isn't 'Hey'! Call me Igoruru!"

"Tch, isn't that the same thing you're saying to everyone?"

The arguing only subsided after the two White Zetsu figures had completely merged into the ground.

Amidst the devastation of the battlefield, only the unconscious Yagura Karatachi remained.

the other side.

Although Jianchuan Ju and his group were on high alert the whole way, fearing that another inexplicable enemy might suddenly appear.

However, the trip was surprisingly safe and there were no risks involved.

Of course, Tachibana Kanagawa couldn't resist Kisame Hoshigaki's insistence and was carried on his back.

Kisame Hoshigaki only put Tachibana Kenkawa down after they arrived near Kirigakure.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps the fact that everyone stopped walking startled the Third Mizukage.

The Third Mizukage, who had been lying behind Ao and was unconscious, also woke up.

As someone who had carried the burden of three generations of Mizukage, Ao naturally noticed it immediately and quickly inquired about the situation.

"Lord Third Generation, are you doing well?"

Hearing the commotion, the others naturally gathered around.

Although the Third Mizukage had just been freed from the genjutsu control and was still severely injured and weak, he showed no confusion about the current situation and spoke softly.

"Qing, put me down."

"Sandaime-sama."

Ao was still a little worried about the Third Mizukage's health, but he didn't dare disobey the old man's orders and put him down, though he still reached out to support him.

The Third Mizukage was indeed unable to stand on his own at the moment, and instead of refusing Ao's kindness, he turned to look at Tachibana Kanagawa.

"You did a good job, little orange boy."

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju quickly approached.

"Lord Third Generation, do you still have any memories from before?"

The Third Mizukage simply nodded slightly, looked around at the scenery, and then slowly spoke.

"Have we reached the vicinity of the village yet?"

"Yes, Lord Sandai."

The group had originally planned to carry the heavily injured and unconscious Third Mizukage back to the village, but suddenly they were at a loss.

After feeling the pain and weakness in his body, the Third Mizukage spoke to Tachibana Kenkawa again.

"Kid Tachibana, I remember you have a ninjutsu that can completely heal injuries, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju was momentarily stunned, then replied somewhat awkwardly.

"Lord Third Generation, the Resurrection Wind heals physical injuries by consuming lifespan; your current condition may..."

Jianchuan Ju didn't say what came next.

However, it is clear to everyone that, given the age and injuries of the Third Mizukage, this method of restoring lifespan could very well lead to his immediate death.

In fact, most of the injuries on the Third Mizukage's body had already been treated by Tachibana Kenkawa.

After returning to the village, they can rest and receive treatment at the Hidden Mist Hospital for a period of time and make a normal recovery.

However, the Third Mizukage himself did not hesitate at all. After glancing in the direction of Kirigakure, he looked firmly at Tachibana Kenkawa.

"Use it."

"Tachibana, you must remember, the Mizukage is the pillar of Kirigakure. Whether injured or controlled, you must never show the slightest weakness in front of others!"

At this moment, the Third Mizukage was clearly seriously injured and pale, and his voice was not loud, but to Tachibana Kanagawa's ears, it was deafening.

Sensing the determination and encouragement in the old man's eyes, Tachibana Kenkawa stopped talking nonsense and immediately began to form hand seals to perform ninjutsu.

"Wind Release: Resurrection Wind"

A light breeze emanating a faint green light was generated between Kanagawa Tachibana's palms, swirling around and blowing towards the Third Mizukage, who was still being supported by Ao.

Upon contact, the Third Mizukage felt the warmth carried by the breeze, and his physical condition visibly recovered rapidly.

Finally, both his rosy complexion and his straightened back after loosening his muscles indicated the Third Mizukage's physical condition.

Seeing this, Tachibana Kanagawa immediately stopped using his ninjutsu.

The Third Mizukage clenched his fist, checked his own condition, and nodded in praise to Tachibana Kanagawa.

"Very good ninjutsu."

However, Tachibana Kanagawa looked at the old man with a worried expression.

At this moment, Tachibana Kanagawa was clearly more aware of his physical condition than the Third Mizukage. After thinking for a moment, he decided to speak up and give him a reminder.

"Sandaime-sama."

However, Tachibana Kanagawa's words were stopped by the Third Mizukage, who then spoke to the others with great vigor.

"Let's go back to the village first!"

"Yes!" xN

Although everyone had many questions they wanted to ask, they had to suppress them due to their status as the Third Mizukage and set off together.

Inside the Hidden Mist Village.

Originally, when the guards saw Tachibana Kanagawa and his group, who had already been identified as rogue ninjas, at the main gate, they were prepared to sound the alarm and intercept them.

However, he immediately noticed the Third Mizukage in the middle of the group, and stopped what he was doing to greet him.

As a gatekeeper, the most important ability is to recognize transformation techniques. Naturally, he can distinguish between the real and fake Mizukage, so he will obediently let him pass.

As a result, the group of people, who were either "rogue ninjas" or front-line ninjas who had deserted their posts, actually swaggered into the Mizukage Building.

Upon arriving at the Mizukage's office, the Third Mizukage didn't say anything, and everyone naturally followed him inside.

After sitting down, the Third Mizukage waved to a member of the Anbu and spoke to him.

"Go and summon Quan Bingwei."

I'm a bit conflicted right now, whether the protagonist should become the fourth generation.

In reality, whether one is in a position of authority or not, their rights within Kirigakure are roughly the same.

It's mainly about the title.

However, once the protagonist becomes the fourth generation, he can no longer wander around aimlessly. With his status and position, there are some things he can't do too outrageously.

Most importantly, it's now very difficult to trigger new achievements, and once you become the Mizukage, there are no more missions to complete!

Okay, I'll be frank. Actually, my initial inclination was that the protagonist wouldn't become the fourth generation.

However, I've recently seen that everyone's expectations for becoming the Mizukage are quite high, so I'd like to ask for your opinions.

But don't worry, no matter what choice you make, I can make up for it in the later part of the story.

If everyone really wants to see the storyline after she becomes the Mizukage, that's fine too.
