Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 360 A Deviated History

The ninja quickly walked up to the two men and first glanced at their headbands.

He then smiled awkwardly and apologized repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, I've just taken over the management of this town, and my staff isn't very experienced yet."

After explaining to the two men, the ninja, who had initially been somewhat ingratiating and reserved, suddenly turned and yelled at the guard.

"Go back and receive your punishment! You disgrace!"

After saying that, the man turned back to Jianchuan Ju and the other person and smiled.

"You two must have come from Konoha headquarters, right? I wonder if the Hokage has some kind of mission, or..."

At this point, the man quickly patted his mouth twice, trying to ingratiate himself.

"Look at my mouth, I shouldn't have asked those questions!"

Jianchuan Ju looked on in bewilderment as this person switched between two faces with ease, and for a moment she didn't know what expression to make.

The person in front of me looks to be in his thirties.

Despite wearing a ninja headband, he appeared somewhat plump, and his attire suggested he was more of a merchant than a ninja.

Although he also has chakra, according to Tachibana Kanagawa's perception, he has only slightly more than a recent graduate of the Kirigakure Ninja Academy.

If you also consider his completely unpretentious and guarded demeanor as he walks and speaks, it's hard to say whether he could even defeat a ninja academy graduate.

Moreover, Tachibana and Kenkawa were not making any disguises at this time.

He looked like an ordinary ninja of about fourteen or fifteen years old, but the other party was cautious and even almost fawning.

It is clear that its status within the Konoha system is not high.

Yet this was a ninja who was utterly useless.

He just said that he recently took over the management of the town.

"When did ninjas start getting involved in town management?"

With a head full of questions, Tachibana Kanagawa's mind raced, but he didn't show it on his face.

Instead, he spoke with a somewhat arrogant tone.

"If you know the answer, stop talking nonsense! Get us a place to rest first!"

At this moment, Tachibana Kanagawa spoke in a manner very similar to those "minor Uchiha fodder".

Since the other party was so obedient, Jianchuan Ju didn't mind putting on a show for a bit.

Even if the act is genuinely flawed, it might reveal something.

This kind of stuff can't cause any trouble.

However, the person in front of him seemed to have misunderstood something after seeing Jianchuan Ju's attitude.

His tone became even more humble as he carefully replied.

"This town is quite dilapidated, there's nothing nice here. Why don't you two gentlemen rest at my place for a while?"

After hearing this, Jianchuan Ju did not reply.

He merely snorted coldly, nodded in a pretentious manner, and gestured for the man to lead the way.

The man was not angry when he saw this.

He bowed and scraped as he began to lead the two of them.

The atmosphere along the way was also quite strange.

All the other ordinary people in the town, looking fearful and wary, hid and made way for the three ninja masters, including Jianchuan Ju.

He stopped and smiled as he approached a house that was noticeably more upscale and grand than the rest of the town's buildings.

"My lords, this is my residence. Please come in."

As this person entered the house, Tachibana Kanagawa was completely taken aback.

This seemingly unremarkable fellow not only manages the town, but also lives in a luxurious residence, complete with two servants.

A hint of impatience flashed in Jianchuan Ju's eyes as she waved her hand and said.

"Tell these two to leave. I have something to tell you privately."

While the two servants were still stunned, the genin turned around and cursed fiercely.

"Didn't you hear what the master said? Get out of here!"

Upon hearing this, the two servants immediately fled the room in a panic.

After driving the servant away, the guy turned back to look at Jianchuan Ju with a fawning expression.

"this."

However, before he could continue speaking, all he could see were a pair of crimson, spinning Sharingan eyes with three tomoe.

Seeing that the person had been successfully controlled by his illusion, Tachibana Kanagawa somewhat disdainfully pulled over two stools and let Hikaru Uchiha sit down with him.

"What's your name?"

After some questioning.

Ignoring the guy who was still standing there with a blank stare, Tachibana Kanagawa instead fell into deep thought with a strange expression.

The genin who manages the town is named Kusanagi no Suke.

Previously, he was just a wandering ninja at the very bottom of the ninja world.

Or rather, he wasn't even a ninja; he had only learned a little bit of chakra manipulation techniques.

Two years ago, I joined Konoha and, after a brief training, was assigned to manage all affairs in Akihabara Town.

Because of his low status, he only had a general understanding of the current situation in the ninja world.

But even this little bit of basic information almost made Jianchuan Ju's jaw drop.

The reason why someone like that could join Konoha Village and be appointed as the head of a town is because...

It's all because of a major event that happened three years ago.

Ten years ago, Madara Uchiha, the Asura of the Ninja World, defeated the Senju clan and established Konoha Village.

Three years ago, they suddenly captured the capital of the Land of Fire and announced the abolition of the daimyo system.

Those who wield power should not submit to insects!

Using this as his motto, Madara Uchiha killed all the high-ranking officials of the Land of Fire and then ordered his subordinate ninjas to take over the entire Land of Fire.

Since the establishment of Konoha Village ten years ago, other ninja villages have been established one after another in various countries of the ninja world.

However, unlike those ninja villages that are bound together by family ties or master-disciple relationships.

At the beginning of its establishment, Konoha Village also had a large number of well-known ninja clans.

However, they extensively recruited commoner orphans and established ninja schools to educate them in ninja skills.

These commoner ninjas, along with the ninja clans that initially joined Konoha, became the foundation for Madara Uchiha's management of ordinary civilians after he conquered the Land of Fire.

From then on, the ninjas of the Land of Fire were no longer a mercenary organization that made a living by completing missions.

Instead, they became the rulers of the Land of Fire and a fully-fledged ninja army.

However, even with seven years of reserves, the manpower was still slightly insufficient when Madara Uchiha forcibly ordered that the highest-ranking officials in villages, towns, and cities must be ninjas.

Therefore, while Konoha occupied the Land of Fire, it also issued a recruitment order to the entire ninja world.

Any ninja can choose to join Konoha.

Countless rogue ninjas like Kusanagi no Sukeshige joined Konoha at that time.

Of course, given that Madara Uchiha dared to do something so serious, it was impossible for other forces in the ninja world to remain silent.

Countless daimyo and ninja villages condemned it.

However, Madara Uchiha's appetite clearly extends beyond the Land of Fire.

While the rest of the team either observed or actively prepared for the battle.

Konoha, a village that had not even fully integrated into the Land of Fire, launched a surprise attack on the Land of Wind.

In less than a month.

Loulan surrendered, and the countries of Rain, River, and Wind suffered successive defeats.

The remaining ninjas of Sunagakure either surrendered to Konoha or fled to other countries.

After this battle.

The territory of the Land of Fire, or Konoha, has doubled in size.

There should be another chapter tonight, but it might be quite late.

Everyone, don't wait any longer, get some rest!
