Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 460 I Admit Defeat

At this moment, in the stands of the Chunin Exams, Tachibana Kanagawa was watching with great interest the fierce battle between his two disciples.

In the third game just now, after Uchiha Shisui revealed his three-tomoe Sharingan.

Maki was defeated in just a few moves and left the stage in disappointment.

The last group of contestants who hadn't yet appeared were naturally the two disciples of Jianchuan Ju.

Kabuto Saigyouji and Mangetsu Hozuki.

To be honest, I was quite interested in the battle between these two little guys.

One person is meticulous, cunning, and ruthless, and is accustomed to using terrain and traps in battle.

But he also possesses powerful ninjutsu such as "super strength" and "egg explosion".

Another one has a solid foundation and trains diligently, although he has mastered the "Water Transformation Technique," a family ninjutsu that can make him immune to most attacks.

However, they are not just reckless brutes. They can fight at both close and long range, and their methods are quite diverse. Neither of them are usually lively and outgoing, so even though they often train in the team, they have rarely really gone all out in a few battles.

Therefore, even though the two were only in the initial probing phase at the start of the battle...

Kanakawa Tachibana was still engrossed in watching.

However, at that moment, a faint mental fluctuation signal suddenly came from the special ring in Jianchuan Ju's hand.

Jianchuan Ju's expression faltered slightly, but then quickly returned to normal.

At this point, is the matter resolved with Nagato's side, or with Hikaru's side?

Trusting in the abilities of these two individuals, Tachibana Kanagawa didn't believe there was a problem with either mission; she simply thought they were just proactively reporting back to her after completing their missions.

With this in mind, Tachibana Kenkawa did not leave the scene prematurely.

She simply reached out and gently pressed down on the Water Shadow Hat to cover her eyes.

As the straw hat slowly fell away, a pair of purple Rinnegan circles quietly appeared in Tachibana Kanagawa's eyes.

With the phrase "Illusionary Body Technique" silently recited in his mind, Tachibana Kanagawa's spirit was already connected with Uchiha Hikaru, who was far away in the Land of Wind.

However, unlike Uchiha Hikaru, who had a semi-transparent, seven-colored phantom appear in front of him, Tachibana Kanagawa showed no unusual behavior.

"Hikaru, did you get things sorted out on your end?"

Looking at the illusory figure in front of him, Uchiha Hikaru first nodded blankly, but then spoke somewhat guiltily.

"It's...it's been resolved. I've used both the Sharingan and Wood Release."

After saying that, Uchiha Hikaru thought about his acting skills and nodded with great certainty.

Jianchuan Ju didn't think too much about what he heard.

The reason Uchiha Hikaru was sent to Sunagakure this time was not to capture the One-Tailed Beast.

For Uchiha Hikaru's strength, this wasn't a particularly difficult task, so Tachibana Kenkawa was quite at ease.

"It's good that the mission is completed. You should be quite proficient in using your techniques now. You can wander around the ninja world or come back early if you wish."

Uchiha Hikaru simply nodded upon hearing this, showing little excitement.

Speaking of traveling the ninja world, Uchiha Hikaru had already visited quite a few places on his way to the Land of Wind.

However, as he wandered aimlessly through the ninja world, Hikaru didn't find it particularly boring, so he didn't have high expectations.

As for the tailed beasts...

I only intended to put one of these things, Jianchuan Ju, in the secret space.

Collecting too much might make it difficult for Obito's side to gain any further influence, which wouldn't be good for his future plans.

Even if the Three-Tails and Six-Tails weren't relatively obedient within Kirigakure, and if it weren't for the fact that reviving Ao and Utakata after being separated would be quite troublesome.

Tachibana Kenkawa wanted to simply seal and imprison his two tailed beasts.

The research on the empty shell Three-Tails is progressing smoothly, so he doesn't value the combat power brought by the tailed beasts as much now.

Initially, he did indeed set his sights on the One-Tailed Beast that Sunagakure had collected.

There's no other reason than that among the five great ninja villages, Sunagakure is the easiest to bully.

Attacking Sunagakure would alert the five great ninja villages to Obito and his group's intentions, but it would also prevent the situation from spiraling out of control all at once.

However, later, Tachibana Kenkawa realized that Sunagakure only had one tailed beast.

Firstly, without the power of the Tailed Beasts, Sunagakure might fall out of the ranks of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

Secondly, if Sunagakure cannot bear this loss and chooses to give up on itself.

If something serious happens, it will be difficult for Jianchuan Ju to handle the situation.

It's worth noting that the trigger for the recently concluded Third Shinobi World War was the disappearance of the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure.

This is the current situation.

Sending Uchiha Hikaru to Sunagakure not only demonstrated his strength but also reminded them of the existence of the mastermind behind it all.

That way, it wouldn't frighten Sunagakure too much and cause them to do anything rash.

This will also put Obito in his place, preventing him and Black Zetsu from hiding behind the scenes and now being unable to even find where they are.

On the contrary, it's Iwagakure's side.

Even if Old Purple ran away from home and disappeared or died in some corner of a chair, it wouldn't agitate Onoki too much.

"By the way, how many White Zetsu did they collect this time?"

Thinking of Obito Uchiha, Tachibana Kenkawa casually asked him about it.

However, Uchiha Hikaru's answer still surprised him slightly.

4.

"Is that little?"

Jianchuan Ju himself was well aware that ever since he started using "Jutsu" to wander around the ninja world from time to time, he would catch a couple of White Zetsu to play with whenever he had nothing to do.

Obito Uchiha began to consciously reduce the number of White Zetsu in the ninja world.

However, along the way, including within Sunagakure Village, there were only four White Zetsu, which was somewhat beyond Tachibana Kanagawa's expectations.

Of course, Tachibana Kanakawa didn't care too much about it.

Not to mention that he could find a way to create a new version of the Hundred Wonders by doing his own research.

Just the amount of Bai Juehu's body he currently possesses is enough for him to wreak havoc for quite some time.

Next, it seemed that Mitsuki didn't intend to hang up, so Tachibana Kenkawa chatted with her for a while longer.

Meanwhile, during the time when Tachibana Kenkawa was secretly chatting.

The duel between Kabuto Saigyouji and Mangetsu Hozuki below is gradually entering a heated phase.

Before the battle began, Hozuki Mangetsu thought that in this kind of arena match with little cover,

In a head-on battle, I should have a certain advantage.

Who would have thought that Dou would be so utterly devoid of martial ethics?

He immediately unleashed several powerful punches, risking arm injuries, to transform the ring into a complex terrain of earth and stones.

Moreover, his teammate was as slippery as an eel.

In the blink of an eye, his true form vanished without a trace. When he reappeared, even the arm injury caused by the backlash from his "super strength" had been completely healed by himself.

Forced into a corner, he had no choice but to engage in a chase with him in the arena.

One minute he's throwing "eggs," the next he's using "illusion magic," leaving Hozuki Mangetsu in a complete mess.

However, when Hozuki Mangetsu once again seized the opportunity to fight Kabuto for a while, he managed to escape again.

He thought Kabuto would disappear again and engage in guerrilla warfare with him.

However, after shaking off the entanglement, Dou suddenly leaped onto a boulder.

Their combat strength appears to be relatively intact.

He raised his arm with one hand and said calmly.

"I give up!"
