Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 482 All Things Are Approaching

Let's put aside the matter of 'protecting our Uchiha Obito' for now.

Although Tachibana Kanagawa is somewhat worried about Obito Uchiha's future situation, it is not an easy thing to actually "help" him.

At least his previous idea of ​​sending one or two trusted subordinates to Obito's side has never been implemented.

"Konoha is great; they can easily produce a bunch of rogue ninja without anyone suspecting anything."

"It's a pity that Fugaku Uchiha didn't come during the Chunin Exams, so the bait I prepared for him couldn't be thrown out."

As this thought flashed through her mind, Tachibana Kanakawa suddenly remembered something else.

He turned to look at Qing, who was staring blankly into space, and asked.

"Teacher Ao, I remember last time, the White Zetsu team sent to Konoha brought back information that Kushina Uzumaki's delivery date was approaching, right?"

Ao, who was still communicating with Mio Isobu in his mind, suddenly heard Tachibana Kanagawa mention him.

He immediately came to his senses and looked blankly at Jianchuan Ju and Elder Yuanshi.

Fortunately, Isobu heard what Tachibana Kenkawa said and immediately repeated it in his mind.

Qing then composed herself under the somewhat speechless gazes of the two men and quickly spoke.

"It is indeed getting close, but even with the extremely tight defenses there, even the White Zetsu squad has not been able to find out a relatively accurate date."

Jianchuan Ju glanced at Qing, who appeared to be very serious, and shook her head helplessly.

"Ever since becoming the Three-Tails' Jinchūriki, Ao-sensei seems to have become increasingly laid-back. I wonder if it's because he's bored from not having to leave the village for missions, or if he's been corrupted by that lazy Isobu? Should we find Ao-sensei something else to do?"

While her mind was filled with these random thoughts, Tachibana Kanagawa did not blame Ao for his inadequate intelligence gathering.

After all, the seal is at its weakest during childbirth, and the Nine-Tails seal could easily be leaked if one is not careful.

Kushina Uzumaki could hardly be considered a perfect Jinchūriki.

She could not suppress the Nine-Tails by relying entirely on the physique of the Uzumaki clan and sealing techniques. She could not keep the Nine-Tails obediently in the seal during her childbirth.

No amount of caution could be too much for Konoha Village in this matter.

However, Kenkawa Tachibana naturally had other methods.

"Teacher Qing, the second son of the Uchiha clan head should have been born by now, right? I remember we sent someone to keep an eye on him before."

This time, Qing didn't hesitate and replied directly.

"Yes, he was just born last month, and his name is Uchiha Sasuke."

Although Ao was unaware of Tachibana Kanagawa's purpose in doing so, the Uchiha clan itself was not particularly cautious about this matter.

For the spies sent out who gained White Zetsu abilities through "transformation," investigating such trivial matters was merely a side job.

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju nodded.

Each member of these White Zetsu squads was transformed into a White Zetsu by Tachibana Kenkawa himself using the "Mind Transfer Technique," and each of them was also subjected to a special seal similar to the "Tongue Curse Extinction Technique."

They are currently the most secretive spy team in Kirigakure.

As for focusing on the birth of Uchiha Sasuke.

Although Tachibana Kanagawa didn't remember the exact birthdays of Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, she had the impression that Sasuke was only a few months older than Naruto.

This allows us to roughly deduce the timing of the Nine-Tails' rampage.

"But Minato Namikaze is really carefree. His wife is about to give birth, and he still has the nerve to organize a Five Kage Summit. Even if he's the fastest ninja in the world, he might still be late and unable to make it at the crucial moment."

"By the way, issue a new order to the White Zetsu squad in Konoha, and tell them to keep an eye on the vicinity of the Konoha Memorial Monument in the near future."

"Pay special attention to the situation when Konoha Jonin Kakashi Hatake went there; he might be able to hear the specific time and location of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's delivery."

Jianchuan Tachibana suddenly remembered that in the original work, it seemed that Obito Uchiha learned the specific information about Kushina Uzumaki's birth from Kakashi's prayer at the memorial stone.

After becoming the Mizukage, Tachibana Kenkawa specifically sent people to investigate the "Zero Eight-Tails" incident, as well as the situation of Kakashi Hatake and Rin Nohara.

This time, although Rin Nohara did not die directly at Kakashi's hands, she did indeed mysteriously disappear during a mission with Kakashi.

As in the original story, he was later judged by Konoha to have died in battle during a mission, and his cenotaph was buried in the cemetery behind the Konoha Memorial Monument.

Therefore, Kakashi will most likely still visit the other person's grave from time to time to pour out his heart.

While keeping an eye on Kakashi, it's also possible to catch Obito Uchiha's little tail.

Qing had no objection to Jianchuan Ju's order.

Jianchuan Ju has proven the correctness of his decision through countless actions.

Seeing that he had already confessed almost everything that needed to be confessed.

Kanakawa Tachibana stretched lazily, looked at the sky outside the window, and said with a smile.

"Alright, that's all for today. I won't go back to the office. Zabuza's transplant surgery should be finished by now. Would you like to come with me to take a look, Ao-sensei?"

Qing thought for a moment, then shook her head and refused.

"Never mind, it's just a minor surgery. I'll stay here and continue to help Elder Yuan with his official duties."

"I can have Zabuza come to me tomorrow. I've been taking some time these past few days to teach him some techniques for using the Byakugan."

Qing's words reminded Elder Yuan, who was about to get up.

The other person turned to look at Tachibana Kanagawa, who was admiring the bustling village of Kirigakure from the window, and asked in a low voice.

"Lord Mizukage, have you decided which guards you will take with you to the Five Kage Summit?"

Jianchuan Ju was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood what Elder Yuanshi meant by saying that.

After considering it for a moment, he nodded in reply.

"It would be more appropriate to bring Zabuza along. As for the other person, let's go with Mei Terumi. It's been a long time since the three of us have acted together."

In fact, Tachibana Kenkawa's initial idea was to bring Nagato and Hikaru Uchiha along.

After all, these two were the only truly righteous members of their "Shadow Guard".

But now that I think about it, I'm not going to wipe out the other Kage from the Five Kage Summit.

Sending three of your top combatants along with you seems like making a mountain out of a molehill.

Now that Zabuza has transplanted the Byakugan, he will probably be able to master it by the time the Five Kage Summit is approaching.

Although Danzo Shimura isn't causing trouble right now, and Shisui Uchiha's Kotoamatsukami is still just a rumor.

However, having the Byakugan's ability to see through illusions is a good precaution.

In terms of combat strength, she has her own backup plan, and Mei Terumi is now almost at the level of an ordinary Jonin.

For minor tasks that don't require personal intervention, these two are perfectly capable.

Thinking about the rare opportunity for the team to work together, a genuine smile appeared on Jianchuan Ju's face.

"Heh, why are you actually looking forward to the rest of the trip?"
