Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 372 Different Perspectives

After hearing what Ashina Uzumaki said, Tachibana Kenkawa didn't hold back.

He sat down directly with Uchiha Hikaru and waited quietly for the other party's explanation.

Although Tachibana Kanagawa learned sealing techniques within the Uzumaki clan, which was indebted to them, she didn't mind being used as a scapegoat once.

But there still needs to be an explanation.

Looking at Tachibana's nonchalant expression, Ashina shook his head helplessly and said.

"Actually, the reason why these two from Kirigakure came here is somewhat related to you, Tachibana."

Jianchuan Ju was taken aback at first, but then immediately realized what was going on.

"Are they also here because of the sealing of the tailed beasts?"

Uzumaki Ashina hadn't expected that Kanagawa Tachibana would grasp the key point so quickly.

But instead of explaining further, he smiled and handed a scroll to Tachibana Kenkawa.

"Take a look, this is the information that Tobirama sent back."

Jianchuan Ju took the information scroll with some doubt and quickly flipped through it.

It turns out that this all started after Tobirama Senju and Tachibana Kanagawa made their deal.

He then began to use his connections within the Anti-Konoha Alliance to inquire about the distribution of the remaining seven tailed beasts in the ninja world.

However, such a thing could not possibly escape the notice of the higher-ups in the various ninja villages.

Although Tobirama Senju's actions were not stopped by the village leaders, they did serve as a reminder to them.

The battle between the Anti-Konoha Alliance and Konoha was already extremely intense.

Although the Anti-Konoha Alliance had a huge numerical advantage, due to mutual fear among the villages, they could only fight Konoha to a draw.

Moreover, all of this is despite the fact that Madara Uchiha has not made a move since the battle in the Land of Wind.

So although the villages outwardly proclaimed that "the destruction of Konoha is just around the corner," in reality, they had little confidence in the outcome of this war.

However, Tobirama Senju's actions reminded them that there were still Tailed Beasts in the ninja world, weapons that could be described as catastrophic.

If we could harness the power of the Tailed Beasts for our own use, then not only would overthrowing Konoha be possible, but taking its place wouldn't be out of the question.

Of course, this is also a misunderstanding caused by the fact that the villages do not yet fully understand Madara Uchiha's full strength.

However, they themselves firmly believe this.

Therefore, recently, there has been a great deal of discussion within the Anti-Konoha Alliance regarding the collection or utilization of the Tailed Beasts.

The more mainstream approach is to capture the tailed beasts, forcibly contract them into summoning beasts, and send them to the battlefield.

However, there were a few clever individuals who came up with the idea of ​​sealing the tailed beasts and turning them into jinchūriki.

However, the level of sealing techniques varies greatly among the various ninja villages, and each village has its own ulterior motives.

Therefore, no concrete actions have been proposed yet.

The letter from Tobirama Senju was a reminder to Tachibana Kanagawa that he needed to speed up his learning of sealing techniques.

Knowing full well the strength of his elder brother and Madara Uchiha, he did not believe that the "Anti-Konoha Alliance" had the strength to fight Madara Uchiha on the front lines just because they had a few more tailed beasts.

Especially after learning about the so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi plan and investigating it personally.

Tobirama Senju now firmly believes that it's better to let these guys capture the Tailed Beasts and then send them to Madara Uchiha on the battlefield.

It would be better to have Tachibana Kenkawa send the sealed tailed beasts to the summoning space to hide them.

Yes, that's right.

Tachibana Kenkawa did not reveal to Tobirama Senju that he came from another timeline.

He only promised to permanently seal away one or two tailed beasts to stop Madara Uchiha's Infinite Tsukuyomi plan.

Tobirama Senju was certainly not a naive newbie, but he believed he could afford to gamble on one or two tailed beasts.

This is also the basis for the two parties' cooperation in the transaction.

However...

"My current sealing techniques are actually sufficient."

Tachibana looked helplessly at the long letter from Tobirama Senju, which contained words of advice to him to study hard.

However, due to the instillation of multiple skills, Tachibana Kenkawa's theoretical knowledge was already quite good.

Previously, I had specially studied for a period of time in order to seal the dragon vein.

Furthermore, he had read the "Inner Four Symbols Seal" from the Book of Seals of Konoha.

So learning the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan during this period wasn't actually that difficult.

The two sealing techniques, "Four Symbols Seal" and "Four Directions Barrier Seal Array," which can be used to deal with tailed beasts, were both mastered by Tachibana Kenkawa.

However, the seal of the former is time-limited. If it is not reinforced in time, the seal will gradually weaken over time.

The latter requires four people to work together. Although ice clones can be used as a substitute, the preparation work is more complicated.

Therefore, after learning these two sealing techniques, Tachibana Kenkawa did not rush to ask Tobirama Senju for the location of the Tailed Beasts. Instead, he planned to learn a few more advanced sealing techniques before formally informing him.

But it seems that we have no choice but to make do with these two seals for now.

Otherwise, if the Anti-Konoha Alliance gets there first, it will only add more trouble.

Thinking of this, Tachibana Kanagawa looked intently at Ashina Uzumaki.

"Clan Chief Ashina, Lord Tobirama said in his letter that once I have completed my training in the sealing techniques, I will come to you to obtain information about the Tailed Beasts?"

Ashina smiled and nodded, then took out another scroll.

"This was also sent by Tobirama, but he was worried that you would rush there before the time was right and fail, so he left it with me for now."

Jianchuan Ju took the scroll with a somewhat speechless expression.

He hadn't expected that Tobirama Senju would have so much to worry about.

However, Tachibana Kenkawa did not open the scroll immediately.

Instead, he looked at Ashina Uzumaki and asked her a question in return.

"Clan Chief Ashina, since the Uzumaki clan possesses excellent sealing techniques and the precise locations of the Tailed Beasts, haven't you considered capturing them and making them your own?"

Ashina Uzumaki seemed to have never expected that Tachibana Kenkawa would have this problem.

However, after a moment's hesitation, he answered calmly.

"Lord Jianchuan, the Uzumaki clan's current stability is not only due to its strength, but also to its absolute neutrality."

"Just like how Kirigakure came to seize the sealing technique today, if the Uzumaki clan possesses the power of the Tailed Beasts, then Konoha or other ninja villages will also come knocking to try and take that power away."

"And whatever choice the Uzumaki clan makes at that time, it will ultimately lead to war."

Looking at Ashina's serious expression, Tachibana Kanagawa did not agree with his opinion.

Power may attract covetousness, but having this power will also make covetous people more wary.

Ultimately, however, these are all other people's own choices, and Jianchuan Ju has no right to interfere.

He simply nodded, pretending to understand, and then opened the scroll of information about the tailed beasts sent by Tobirama Senju to take a look.

"Hey, isn't this an old friend?"
