Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 375 Trouble

He looked at the two people floating in front of him.

The gray-haired old man who spoke was hunched over and had a weathered face.

The other was a tall, thin young man with two large swords crossed on his back and a handsome, heroic air about him.

Jianchuan Ju focused her gaze on the dashing young man.

Although he was quite different from the image of someone covered in bandages that I remembered, his identity was already obvious based on that Dust Release technique he just used.

"Is the future Second Tsuchikage insignificant?!"

The identity of the gray-haired old man floating beside him is self-evident.

The first Tsuchikage, Ishigawa!

"This is such a hassle."

Jianchuan Ju never expected that he would encounter an enemy when he came to catch the Three-Tails.

Moreover, these two can already be considered among the world's top combat forces.

"They started with a dust escape attack; it seems things won't end well today."

Just as Jianchuan Ju was thinking this, Shihe, seeing that he had no reaction, spoke again with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

"What? Have these Uchiha brats lost even the most basic manners?"

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju rolled her eyes.

"So, the politeness of Iwagakure is to launch a sneak attack without warning?"

Although being called a member of the Uchiha clan left Tachibana Kanagawa somewhat helpless, he gradually began to get used to it after arriving in this world.

Moreover, with the enormous Sharingan mark in the Three-Tails' pupils at this moment, even if he wanted to make excuses, the other side probably wouldn't believe him.

However, Tachibana suddenly realized why the other party hadn't continued to attack after the sneak attack, but instead was still talking nonsense here.

Clearly, Uchiha Hikaru's Sharingan pattern, which differed from the ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan, made the other party somewhat wary.

After all, in this world, the only other person with the Mangekyou Sharingan is Madara Uchiha.

Jianchuan Ju was right.

If the sneak attack hadn't succeeded, that would have been fine, but the "Original Realm Detachment Technique" launched from the shadows was dodged.

At this moment, Shihe was indeed somewhat wary of the two of them.

It wasn't just because of the Sharingan in Uchiha Hikaru's eyes that seemed to be the same type as Uchiha Madara's.

The two kids opposite are clearly the one who can speak, so their strength is probably not bad either.

Moreover, the giant iceberg above the lake has not yet dissipated, in addition to the three-tailed creature that has been controlled.

Even with confidence in his own and Wu's strength, Shihe still felt that things were going to get difficult.

"Uchiha brats, if you hand over the Three-Tails, I can let you leave today."

After a long silence, Shihe spoke again and put forward his conditions.

However, when faced with Ishigawa's suggestion, Tachibana Kenkawa showed a disdainful smile.

Now that the Three-Tails is under control, it can be considered part of their fighting force. It's not foolish for Tachibana Kenkawa to willingly give it up and gamble on the other side letting him go.

Ultimately, however, the so-called "Uchiha" was just a misunderstanding. Tachibana Kenkawa didn't want to fight a pointless battle, so he finally spoke up to explain.

"Senior Ishigawa, whether you believe it or not, we are not Konoha ninjas, nor do we wish to be enemies with Iwagakure. Your retreat now is the best outcome for both sides."

However, Tachibana Kanakawa's explanation was clearly not very convincing.

After hearing this, Shihe glanced at the two of them and then spoke in a calm tone.

"Leave the three tails behind, and I will let you go."

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju's anger surged up.

"Old man, you don't think you've got me cornered, do you?"

At this point, Tachibana Kanagawa no longer wanted to waste words with Ishigawa.

Since they're completely unmoved by reason, then we'll have to settle things with our own hands.

However, the two people opposite him were clearly more cunning than him.

Just as Tachibana Kenkawa was about to put down Hikaru Uchiha and start the battle, the 'danger warning' in his mind issued another alert.

Meanwhile, on the opposite side, Wu, who had been floating beside Shihe, had somehow left a clone right under Jianchuan Ju's nose and disappeared underground.

At that moment, hundreds of stone projectiles, each the size of a human head, emerged from the ground and whistled towards him from below Jianchuan Ju.

Clearly, the opponent also realized that Dust Release, a projectile attack with a relatively long casting time, was not so easy to hit Tachibana Kenkawa.

However, this attack was a gross underestimation of him.

Jianchuan Tachibana grabbed Uchiha Hikaru with one arm and quickly flew backward.

With his other hand, he drew his spear from behind his back.

With a few consecutive strikes, he shattered all the stone projectiles that could have hit them.

Without waiting for the other party to continue the pursuit, Tachibana Kenkawa whispered something in Hikaru Uchiha's ear.

"Light, close your eyes!"

The next moment, 'Flash' was activated.

Centered on the jujube tree, an incredibly intense and blinding radiance erupted instantly.

The entire world turned white.

The two Iwagakure members, who were just preparing to coordinate the pursuit, panicked and turned back to defend, their eyes stinging, to avoid being suddenly ambushed by Kenkawa Tachibana.

Originally, Tachibana Kenkawa intended to take this opportunity to send Hikari Uchiha to the side of the Three-Tails, so that she would not be affected by the upcoming battle.

Little did they know that the girl was no pushover either.

Immediately after the burst of the 'flash', open your eyes.

The kaleidoscope mark in his pupils spun rapidly, staring intently at Wu, who had just launched a sneak attack on the ground.

Where the gaze is focused, pitch-black Amaterasu flames appear out of thin air.

It attached itself to nothing and immediately began to burn fiercely.

"Ah—" A scream rang out.

Just as Tachibana was surprised by the girl's decisive attack.

Looking back, the 'nothingness' that was twisting and burning under the fire of Amaterasu was slowly turning into a pile of yellow earth.

The other party had somehow replaced their original self with an earth clone.

He saw a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of the girl's eye.

Jianchuan Ju really wanted to say that it would be best to use this kind of "fire of kindness" that requires self-harm less often in the future.

However, time was of the essence, so after placing Uchiha Hikaru on the Three-Tails, he gave a direct instruction.

"Hikari, you stay inside the Three-Tailed Shell. From now on..."

Both opponents possessed the ability to fly. Kanakawa Tachibana initially thought, "Just hide."

However, considering the girl's pride, he changed his words.

"Don't come out now. You can decide when to attack."

After saying that, Jianchuan Ju first tapped her chest twice.

He then swiftly formed hand seals and performed a spirit communication technique.

"Bang!" A puff of white smoke.

The little frog then appeared beside him.

"Bluey, you're in charge of the ground, fighting."

The unspoken understanding between the human and the frog requires little communication.

Lan Zai, who had just appeared, immediately understood.

「呱~ｏ(｀-′ｏ)」

After a simple "yes," the little frog spun rapidly, activated its "digging" ability, and disappeared into the ground.

Meanwhile, Tachibana Kenkawa looked again at Ishigawa, who was floating in the air and had struggled to regain his sight.

Although he didn't know where Wu had gone again, he didn't care.

"Come on! Let me see what you old fogies are capable of!"
