Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 373 Catching a Turtle

The information sent by Tobirama Senju recorded the approximate locations of the two tailed beasts.

One of them was the Three-Tailed Chip, which was very familiar to Tachibana Kanagawa.

Perhaps it's because the Three-Tails, being an otaku among the tailed beasts, rarely moves around.

So although it didn't appear in the ninja world very often, Tobirama still managed to pinpoint its approximate location.

The other piece of information mentioned news about the Five-Tailed King, Muou.

However, unlike the information about the Three-Tails, which has a fairly accurate approximate location.

The information about the Five-Tails only states that, some time ago, people in the Land of Grass had seen a giant white horse galloping on several occasions.

"In that case, my old friend, it has to be you!"

Seeing this, Jianchuan Ju's fists started to itch.

"Chief Ashina, I've troubled you greatly these past few days, and it's time for me to take my leave."

After reading the intelligence, Tachibana Kenkawa immediately bid farewell to Ashina Uzumaki.

Knowing roughly what Tachibana Kenkawa's next goal was, Ashina Uzumaki didn't try to stop him, but simply smiled and replied.

"Then I wish you a safe journey, Lord Jianchuan. I will keep the house in the village for you. If you have time in the future, you are welcome to come back to our Wochao Village for a short stay."

"Thank you, Chief Ashina. If the Uzumaki clan needs any help, please feel free to contact me anytime."

After saying that, Tachibana Kenkawa got up and left Ashina Uzumaki's residence.

After reaching the door, Uchiha Hikaru, who had been following behind Kenkawa Tachibana, tugged at his sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"Tachibana, can I go say goodbye to Mito-neechan?"

Jianchuan Ju, who was pondering how to set off, was slightly stunned after hearing these words.

After such a long period of contact, Jianchuan Ju knew.

Uchiha Hikari, this girl, actually has a very strong aversion to the profession of ninja.

If he hadn't been the first person to show her kindness, his identity as a ninja alone would have earned him absolutely no trust from the girl.

Unexpectedly, I had been busy with cultivation and hadn't paid much attention to it during this period.

I don't know how Mito Uzumaki managed to fool her, but the girl kept calling her "older sister".

Jianchuan Ju immediately felt a strong alarm bell ring in his heart.

However, out of consideration for the young girl, it was not appropriate to refuse her small request.

He could only respond with a forced smile.

"Of course, no problem. There's no rush."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Hikaru's face immediately lit up with joy.

However, just then, a voice that Jianchuan Ju found somewhat annoying came from ahead.

"Hikaru~ I was wondering why I couldn't find you. Chief Ashina of the Uzumaki clan is looking for that brat Tachibana. You should have just let him do it himself. Why do you have to follow him around for everything?"

The two looked over at the sound and saw that it was none other than Mito Uzumaki, whom they had mentioned before.

Perhaps it was because, even in public, this woman still pretended to be a lady from a respectable family.

However, having witnessed Mito Uzumaki's fiery nature, Tachibana Kanagawa knew that at her current age, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was a future version of the fiery Kushina Uzumaki.

However, Uchiha Hikaru, standing to the side, blushed slightly after hearing Uzumaki Mito's words.

However, she still stood firmly behind Jianchuan Ju and greeted him in a low voice.

"Hello, Mito-neechan."

Seeing that the girl didn't seem to intend to explain herself, Tachibana Kanagawa spoke up for her.

"Mito-senpai, we are about to leave Uzushio Village and are just about to say goodbye to you."

Mito Uzumaki was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Because of her special status within the Uzumaki clan, she doesn't actually have many friends she can talk to.

Although Uchiha Hikaru is much younger than her, their relationship has grown closer over time.

Hearing that the two were leaving, although she had expected this day to come, she still felt a little disappointed.

The smile on his face faded a bit.

After scanning the two of them over several times, he sighed slightly.

"Let's go, let's go. Why bother saying goodbye? It makes me feel awkward."

Uchiha Hikaru sensed the obvious dejection in the other person, and quietly stepped forward to take Uzumaki Mito's hand.

"Mito-neechan, we'll come back to see you again."

Hearing the girl's cool but firm voice, Mito Uzumaki smiled again.

He reached out his other hand and gently patted the girl's head.

Then she glared at Jianchuan Ju beside her and said angrily.

"Ju, you brat, you'd better protect A-Guang from now on! If you dare bully her..."

As she said this, she waved her small fist at Tachibana Kanagawa twice.

Seeing his expression, Jianchuan Ju curled her lips in disgust.

"Tch~ Why are you being so talkative?"

Later on the way, the two women whispered a few words to each other.

Although Tachibana Kanagawa was also curious about what the two were talking about, she didn't actually try to eavesdrop out of politeness.

It wasn't until they reached the outskirts of Wochao Village that the two reluctantly said goodbye once more.

Seeing that Uchiha Hikaru was in a low mood, Tachibana Kanagawa comforted him with a smile.

"Alright, alright, next I'll take you to catch a big turtle. We can always come back after we catch it."

Under the bright sunshine.

The boy walked ahead with a determined look in his eyes, while the girl followed closely behind him.

three days later.

In front of an unnamed lake in the southern part of the Land of Iron.

"That Jifu guy certainly knows how to pick a spot."

Looking at this huge freshwater lake with its beautiful scenery and pleasant climate.

Even Tachibana Kanagawa couldn't help but sigh, as expected of the famously unyielding Three-Tailed Chifu.

The habitat it chose for itself was even more suitable for living than the lake that Kirigakure had specifically selected for the Three-Tails in the Land of Water in the original timeline.

"Guang, you just stay on the shore and keep watch. I'm going to fry some fish."

"I'm an expert at catching this turtle."

Looking at Tachibana's smug expression, Hikaru Uchiha found it inexplicably amusing.

However, she still nodded obediently, looking like a well-behaved child.

Eager to find his "old friend," Tachibana Kenkawa ignored Hikaru Uchiha's reaction and immediately flapped his wings and flew into the air above the lake.

Feeling the whistling wind in my ears, looking down at the calm, waveless lake below.

Jianchuan Ju chuckled and rapidly formed hand seals.

Then, he brought his hands together and then separated them, and between his palms, a 'bomb' filled with a violent aura rapidly condensed and took shape.

However, this "exploding egg" looks different from any of the ones that Tachibana Kenkawa has used before.

It was filled with violent and unstable chakra, and constantly emitted an extremely cold aura.

Even on the hands that Jianchuan Ju was maintaining his composure, a thin layer of white frost had faintly formed.

Only after the light on the "exploded egg" in his palm subsided and it turned into a pure white, crystal-clear ice ball did Jianchuan Ju finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Here comes out to greet our guests, big turtle!"

"Ice Release! Zero-Degree Bomb!"
