Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 333 Witnessing a New Era!

After receiving Nagato's affirmative reply, Tachibana Kenkawa hung up the 'phone' immediately.

As for the "small experiment" he mentioned, it naturally referred to the followers of the evil god that he had just captured.

In the afternoon, the interrogation team had already given their answer.

Their tests confirmed that illusionary control could indeed allow followers of the evil god to successfully cast "Death Possession Blood".

With such a good thing happening, Tachibana Kenkawa naturally wanted to let Obito Uchiha have a taste of it right away.

However, since this kind of curse-type move is not in front of the enemy and there is no real-time feedback, you won't even know if it has taken effect.

Those followers of evil gods were completely clueless about questions such as the maximum range of the curse, whether expired blood could be used, and whether it could cause damage to enemies across space.

Tachibana Kenkawa decided to contact Nagato directly and order the torture squad to give Obito Uchiha a full set of curses the next time he appeared.

This way, one can also know from Nagato's perspective whether the curse has been successfully applied.

After settling this minor matter, Tachibana Kanakawa was finally able to rest.

"Lanzi, let's lift the alert."

Because he was worried that White Zetsu was spying on him from the shadows, Lanzi, who had been on guard with his sensory ninjutsu activated, stopped using his ninjutsu and relaxed.

Before going to sleep, Jianchuan Ju and Lanzi looked up at the bright moonlight in the sky.

"Tomorrow will definitely be a good day."

The next morning.

A huge crowd of people gathered in the large plaza in front of the Water Shadow Building to watch the ceremony.

Among them were original residents of Kirigakure, as well as delegations sent by various countries and ninja villages.

Apart from Kumogakure, which was nominally still at war with Kirigakure, most villages, including the three major ninja villages of Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure, all sent their own envoys.

The government of the Land of Lightning, to which Kumogakure belongs, also sent envoys and presented a congratulatory gift.

At this time, most people were dressed in the same light blue robes, and the square and even the streets further away were all a sea of ​​blue.

However, compared to the crowd below who are discussing it so enthusiastically.

On the Water Shadow Building, in a place unseen by outsiders, chaos reigned.

"What should we do? How about we combine our Wind Release ninjutsu? It should be fine once the typhoon passes."

"Are you fucking crazy?! There are so many people down there, including foreign guests! Are you trying to cause a diplomatic incident by using ninjutsu on them?!"

"Damn it, what do you suggest we do then?!"

"How should I know!"

"If you can't think of a solution, then shut up!"

Wearing a blue and white robe, Tachibana Kanagawa found it amusing to look at the noisy Kirigakure Jonin in front of him.

However, when he turned around, wanting to say a few words to Elder Yuan Shi.

But they found that the usually calm and composed old man was actually sweating nervously at this moment.

Jianchuan Ju shook his head helplessly and said.

"Isn't this the weather always in Kirigakure? Was there anything different about the inauguration ceremonies of the previous Mizukage?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Yuan's face showed a hint of guilt.

"I'm sorry, Fourth Hokage, we did specifically observe the weather when setting the date, but today's dense fog came too suddenly."

Yes, what worries many Jonin is the natural barrier that Kirigakure has always been proud of: the thick fog that shrouds the village year-round.

Originally, when the inauguration ceremony was scheduled, professionals determined the weather conditions for the day.

However, the date needs to be confirmed much earlier, since both sending invitations to various forces and other preparations require setting the date well in advance.

Such weather predictions are inevitably prone to error.

Secondly, the fog today came too suddenly. When Jianchuan Ju went out this morning, there was only a thin layer of fog that was about to dissipate.

Now, when Tachibana Kanagawa stands at the front of the Water Shadow Building, it's uncertain whether the spectators below will even be able to see him.

On the battlefield, the Hidden Mist ninja have a hundred ways to dispel such ordinary natural fog.

However, the countless ordinary civilians below prevented these Jonin from using many of their techniques.

Jianchuan Ju smiled indifferently and asked Elder Yuanshi.

"How long until the scheduled start time?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Yuan glanced at the pocket watch in his hand and replied in a dry tone.

"Ten minutes left."

After hearing this, Jianchuan Ju gave Elder Yuan a reassuring smile, and then strode towards the pre-arranged position at the front of the roof.

"Then let's not wait any longer, let's start now."

On the plaza in front of the Water Shadow Building.

As time passed, the originally noisy sounds gradually faded away, and silence gradually spread.

Everyone looked up at the top of the Water Shadow Building.

Before anyone knew it, a faint, indistinct figure had already appeared there.

However, due to the fog, even with their eyes wide open, everyone was still unable to make out the person's appearance.

But the next moment.

Fire Release: Sunny Day!

A faint flame shot into the sky, and after reaching its highest point, it exploded in mid-air.

Endless waves of fire surged and contracted in the air, transforming in the next instant into a blazing sun radiating dazzling light.

The moment the surging sunrise appeared, the thick fog that had lingered over the entire Hidden Mist Village melted away under the sunlight.

Both the sky and the ground were completely clear.

Under the radiance of this enormous 'sun' composed entirely of flames, even the real sun, which had just emerged from the dissipation of the mist, was obscured.

The warm sunlight shone equally on everyone present.

Even those ninjas furthest from the Mizukage Building, who still guarded the village's perimeter on this important day.

You can still feel the warmth of the sunlight and be deeply attracted by the dazzling sun in the sky.

Everyone looked at the boy standing atop the Water Shadow Building directly beneath the sun.

His face beamed with a smile brighter than the two suns in the sky.

In an instant, a single thought flashed through the minds of countless people.

"It is destiny's will!"

The eyes of those belonging to the Hidden Mist were filled with endless fervor and worship.

The people from other factions were filled with fear and apprehension.

However, whatever the idea, it will not affect the path that Tachibana Kenkawa is going to take.

Standing behind Jianchuan Ju, Elder Yuanshi's eyes no longer held the tension and worry of before, but were filled with relief and anticipation for the future.

He abandoned his long and elaborate opening speech, which he had prepared extensively, and walked solemnly to Jianchuan Ju's side.

He handed him the straw hat that symbolized the position of the Water Shadow.

Kanakawa Tachibana smiled as she took the Mizukage Hat and put it on her head.

He turned to look at the pairs of burning eyes below.

Then he spread his arms wide and shouted loudly and unrestrainedly.

"Gentlemen!"

"Join me in witnessing the arrival of a new era!"

The clear and melodious sound echoed throughout the entire square.

next moment.

Countless excited shouts and echoes resounded across the entire sky.

"Ooooooooo!!!!"

It's alright, this chapter shouldn't be too late, right? I'm really sorry.

Actually, before writing this chapter, I did plan to include a scene where Elder Yuanshi would give a speech.

Then there are the reactions of various relatives and friends to Tachibana Kenkawa's succession, outsiders' doubts about Tachibana Kenkawa's age, descriptions of his appearance in other people's eyes, the changes in the protagonist's height, and some teasing about Yagura Karatachi's height and baby face.

I thought of many such scenarios before writing this.

As a result, after writing about sunrise, I cut all of these things out.

I think that's enough.

Jianchuan Ju has come this far step by step without needing much embellishment; all he needs to do is step forward and accept the admiration and love of others.
