Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 492 A Powerful Enemy~

He snapped out of his reverie, remembering that Zabuza and Mei Terumi were still waiting for him outside.

Jianchuan Ju quickly took out all the items from the panel and piled them all on the temporary shelf.

When Lanzi sees this mess, he'll definitely come over and help clean it up.

As for the blue item 'Silver Spray', Kanakawa Tachibana didn't pay much attention to it.

The so-called "elimination of odor" is considered a very basic skill for a ninja.

Even ordinary genin who have just graduated from the ninja academy usually know several different methods of eliminating scent.

The ninjas in the Anbu who specialize in dirty work are equipped with highly effective scent-masking powders.

This time, Tachibana Kanagawa only plans to test the 'Silver Spray' when she has some free time.

If the results are good, we'll consider cracking the formula, mass-producing it, and then distributing it to our underlings.

After doing all this, Jianchuan Ju formed hand seals again.

After a burst of white smoke, it returned to Zabuza and his companion.

The round trip only took a few seconds.

Seeing that Mei Terumi had already released the ninja gulls, Tachibana Kenkawa also spoke up to stop Zabuza from cleaning up the battlefield.

"Just leave it here; it might come in handy later."

Jianchuan Ju casually tossed the two clean cloaks she had just retrieved from the 'secret space' to them, speaking in a gentle tone.

"You guys put them on first, I need to mark this first."

After saying this, Tachibana Kanakawa drew the short sword "God Spear" from his back and turned to face backward.

As he drew his sword, his other hand had already completed a hand seal.

Then the short sword gently touched the snow.

"Boom!"

A surge of pure white flames shot into the sky, completely enveloping the already vast white world of ice and snow in white light.

As the towering white flames appeared and then quickly dissipated, a cone-shaped iceberg, hundreds of meters high, suddenly appeared on the ground.

After letting out a long sigh, seeing that no frost had spread on the arm that held the divine spear, Jianchuan Ju revealed a satisfied smile.

"Yes, that way they won't have to worry about not being able to find the place later."

Ignoring the two people holding cloaks and staring blankly, Jianchuan Ju gave the order directly.

"Let's go, we need to speed things up for the rest of the journey."

After saying that, Jianchuan Ju disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Mei Terumi and Zabuza exchanged a glance, then quickly put on their cloaks and followed closely behind Tachibana Kanagawa.

In the blink of an eye, the three figures turned into three small dots in the snow and gradually disappeared into the distance.

All that remained was the devastation of the battle, which seemed destined to be completely covered by the heavy snow soon.

Apart from that hundred-meter-tall iceberg standing on the earth.

Half a day later.

The endless snow in the Land of Iron seems to never stop.

The three, who had been walking without stopping, finally arrived at the Five Kage Summit location specially prepared within the Land of Iron under the moonlight.

Perhaps the higher-ups in the Land of Iron were also worried that the leaders of these five major rogue organizations in the ninja world getting together might cause some trouble.

Therefore, the location for the talks was chosen to be quite remote.

A large number of fully armed warriors and soldiers dressed in fur armor were stationed around the venue, guarding it day and night.

After Jianchuan Ju and his two companions arrived, they did not flaunt their presence in an overly arrogant manner.

They politely handed out the invitation and followed the samurai who was leading the way, strolling towards the venue building.

Looking at the Five Kage Summit venue, a building shaped like a "pagoda of meat," Tachibana Kanakawa shook his head speechlessly, his lips twitching.

And when they got closer...

A man with his head wrapped tightly in white bandages, wearing a thin samurai robe and a simply decorated samurai sword at his waist, seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.

They saw that Tachibana and the other two were following the samurai who was leading the way.

The man quickly stepped forward and greeted him warmly.

"Lord Mizukage, I have been waiting for you for a long time. It has been a long time since we last met. Your demeanor and charm are still as impressive as ever."

When Jianchuan Ju saw the other person approach, she gave a gentle smile and nodded in response.

"Admiral Mifune is too kind. You are the one who is joking. Judging from your bearing, your swordsmanship must have improved recently, hasn't it?"

After a few polite exchanges, the group entered the "Pagoda Meat" together.

It's kind of funny.

The last time the two met was at the ceremony when Tachibana Kenkawa officially succeeded to the position of Mizukage.

At that time, Mifune was accompanying several officials from the Land of Iron as one of the representatives of the Land of Iron to attend the ceremony.

After all, the other party is a character who appeared in the original work, and is quite upright and reliable.

So during the meeting after the succession ceremony, Tachibana Kenkawa took the initiative to chat with the other party for a few more minutes.

However, during the conversation, Mifune learned that Tachibana Kenkawa's swordsmanship also mainly focused on "Iaijutsu" (a type of swordsmanship). Seeing this, he became eager to try it and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

It was Tachibana Kanagawa who noticed something was off about the other party and took the initiative to invite Mifune to the training ground for a sparring match.

And so, the current Mizukage, who had just completed his succession ceremony, and the important guest representing the Land of Iron, ended up having a good fight in an unknown training ground within Kirigakure.

However, compared to Mifune, who specializes in Iaijutsu, Tachibana Kenkawa's so-called "Iaijutsu Slash" relies more on the combination of his multiple characteristics to be ferocious.

The ability to anticipate danger, the dynamic vision of sharp eyes, the agile control of limbs of a skilled technician, and the super-high speed and nerve reflex enhancement brought by acupressure.

That's how they managed to barely manage a draw.

It was only then that Tachibana Kanagawa realized just how terrifying a powerhouse who could steadily reach the Kage level with a single move truly was.

The opponent truly lived up to his reputation as a legendary Iaijutsu master who could prevent ninjas from completing hand seals in front of him.

Although it was merely a clash of swordsmanship, Tachibana Kenkawa acknowledged his opponent's strength.

Mifune also lamented with great regret that, given his background as a ninja from the village of Kenkawa Tachibana, he could not fully dedicate himself to swordsmanship.

After that, due to geographical reasons and the neutral stance of the Land of Iron, the two did not have any further communication.

However, it seems that this general of the Land of Iron is quite pleased with the arrival of Tachibana Kenkawa.

However, what Tachibana Kenkawa said next instantly shattered Mifune's joy.

As the group entered the building, Tachibana Kanakawa stopped and said something.

"Admiral Mifune, I should be the first of the Five Kage to arrive, right?"

Although Mifune was somewhat confused by what he heard, he immediately nodded in confirmation.

"The Mizukage was indeed the first to arrive. As for the other Kage, they should arrive around tomorrow during the day."

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Kanagawa's expression remained unchanged, and she slowly spoke with a serious expression.

"Then, I may need to trouble Lord Mifune to send someone to warn the other Kage as soon as possible."

"On my way here, I was attacked by a group of extremely powerful enemies within the Land of Iron!"
