Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 469 Follow-up

Tachibana Kanagawa's domineering move swiftly and decisively ended a crisis that should have caused serious damage to Kirigakure.

However, he himself was still far away in the Chunin Exams in Sea Mist City at the moment.

After resolving the crisis, he only stepped forward to calm everyone down a little before handing over most of the post-battle arrangements to Qing. He then returned to the Water Shadow Building with Elder Yuan.

The air force squad that went out to search for the enemy returned empty-handed, as expected.

Although Tachibana Kenkawa still sent out many ninjas to continue searching for clues, several high-ranking officials, including himself, were aware of the situation.

The chances of actually finding anything are extremely slim.

On the contrary, Zabuza and the others in Hozuki Shingetsu's squad might know some key information.

However, the situation of these three people seemed to be relatively stable at this time.

However, they are still in a coma, and the Zero Tail inside their bodies has only been temporarily sealed.

We will need to wait until they regain consciousness to get more details.

Currently, only medical teams and sealing squads have been arranged to try to develop a safer treatment plan.

"Lord Mizukage, should we send some more Anbu to conduct another thorough search of the area previously investigated by the Hozuki Crescent Moon Squad?"

Inside the Water Shadow's office, Elder Yuan looked at the six identical Tachibana Kanagawa figures before him, his expression still somewhat strange.

However, as a seasoned veteran, this minor awkwardness wouldn't affect his normal work.

Jianchuan Ju understood the look in Elder Yuan Shi's eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he had the other five Six Paths clones form hand seals and enter the secret space, leaving only Number One, Jianchuan Ju, outside.

From this perspective, it doesn't seem much different from him having already returned to Kirigakure in his true form.

Then Jianchuan Ju began to answer Elder Yuanshi's question.

"Don't send too many people. Arrange two ANBU squads to contact the Chunin squad that went to search for Shingetsu and the others. Don't have too high expectations."

Yes, the team that Kenkawa Tachibana sent out to search for the missing Hozuki Shingetsu and his group is still blindly searching at sea.

Therefore, the group knew that even if they found something resembling an enemy base at sea, there probably wouldn't be any useful clues left inside.

Sending people out now is just a risky endeavor, like trying to catch a fish even if there's no chance of success.

More important information will be easier to obtain after Zabuza and the other two awaken.

"Should we arrange for someone to block the news about this incident?" Elder Yuan asked again.

"No need for lockdowns or proactive publicity; let everything take its natural course."

In fact, given Kirigakure's geographical location and resources, despite the scale of this battle, they still have a chance to suppress the news if they really want to.

However, after a moment's thought, Jianchuan Ju realized that the timing of this attack was quite ingenious.

It just so happened that it coincided with the operations he had arranged with Sunagakure and Iwagakure, which inadvertently helped him cover up his 'criminal traces'.

Although it's unknown what kind of chain reaction this will cause, some change is better than stagnation.

"Oh, right, after that, issue arrest warrants for Kakuzu, the rogue ninja from Takigakure, and Moryo from the Land of Demons, and list them as the culprits behind this attack."

"Then we sent an inquiry to the Land of Demons and sent people to see what was wrong with their seal."

The existence of demons is not a major secret to the five great ninja villages. However, the Land of Demons is indeed located in a remote area, so unless they take the initiative to come forward, there are generally not many people who pay attention to news from there.

Tachibana Kanagawa's actions can be seen as a reminder to the other ninja villages.

After all, it was once a force that wreaked havoc in the ninja world, so it still has some deterrent power.

As for issuing a warrant for Kakuzu's arrest, that was just a side effect.

After all, they were the only two people whose identities were definitively confirmed during this attack.

The existence of the Zero-Tails Jinchuriki was only a suspicion of Yagura Karatachi, who had previously disappeared.

He truly possesses complete information on the creation of the Zero-Tails, and this guy was once considered to be second only to the leader in Kirigakure. Who knows if he has hidden subordinates outside?

However, since it couldn't be confirmed, and Yagura's S-rank wanted status had already been in effect, Tachibana didn't single him out for another round of wanted notices.

Yekura didn't even show her face this time, so it was even more impossible for Jianchuan Tachibana to know of her existence.

After explaining some trivial matters, Tachibana Kanagawa prepared to send the six Paths clones back into hibernation.

The six clones require the main body to sit in a specially made black rod-controlled chair to control them, which is actually a bit troublesome.

However, before Tachibana Kenkawa could leave, Ao rushed over and stopped him.

Qing asked, somewhat hesitantly.

"Lord Mizukage, what are your plans regarding that giant Ice Release seashell outside the village?"

Qing was truly at her wit's end.

That ice crystal seashell, which is over ten meters tall, looks crystal clear and very beautiful.

Even ordinary ninjas would shiver from the cold air emanating from the shell if they got close to it.

Even the few Ice Release Jonin sent by the Snow Clan would start to freeze over and become extremely stiff when they got within a meter of the shell.

If it weren't for Qing Lisheng's intervention, those Snow Clan Jonin, who seemed possessed, would have even risked their lives to go forward and personally experience the temperature of the ice crystal shell.

Moreover, after a short while, the chill emanating from the giant seashell had frozen the surrounding ground completely.

Even if they could get close enough to move the seashell that was firmly frozen to the ground, it would probably be quite a difficult task.

Left with no other choice, Aoya had to come and consult Kenkawa Tachibana.

After all, it contained thousands of undead monsters, and he was afraid that if he didn't handle it properly, he would release those undead puppets again, which would be another troublesome matter.

When Jianchuan Ju heard Qing's question, she was slightly taken aback, but she quickly recovered and replied casually.

"Don't touch it, just leave it there for now. No one should approach it within a 100-meter radius."

"As long as it doesn't suffer continuous attacks from tailed beasts, that thing won't be destroyed. Just send a few ninja squads to keep an eye on it in shifts, and I'll deal with the rest when I get back."

Jianchuan Ju actually wanted to keep those undead puppets to test her skills a little.

For example, could Ghost-type moves, or overpowered moves like "Time Roar" or "Wings of Resurrection" be effective against Undead Puppets?

However, there's no rush for this.

The ice created at absolute zero probably won't melt even if left there for several months. It's not too late to deal with it after we get back from the Chunin Exams.

Having dealt with this last little matter, Tachibana Kanagawa could finally turn her attention back to the Chunin Exams.
