Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 505 Flying Bird Second Form

As soon as Nara Shikaku finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Kenkawa Tachibana.

Meanwhile, Tachibana Kanagawa looked with great interest at Shikaku Nara, whose face was full of sincerity and humility.

"Good heavens, as expected of the Nara family, they're quick-witted, actually trying to outsmart me?"

On the surface, Tachibana Kanagawa had previously stopped a fight between Minato Namikaze and A, and he did so with remarkable ease.

Whether from the perspective of strength or the possible standpoint, asking Tachibana Kanagawa for help is a perfectly reasonable move.

However, in reality, Tachibana Kenkawa was also attacked by what appeared to be Konoha ninjas on his way to the Five Kage Summit.

Moreover, compared to the Raikage who only makes empty promises, Tachibana Kenkawa, who has substantial evidence, is more firmly on the victim's side.

Furthermore, Tachibana Kanagawa did not take the initiative to attack Konoha during the entire Five Kage Summit, so his stance was rather ambiguous.

Nara Shikaku's decision to hand over the decision-making power, or rather the "referee's seat," to Kenkawa Tachibana at this moment was both a way of showing that Konoha had no intention of escalating the dispute and a way of indirectly showing goodwill to Kirigakure, thus elevating Kenkawa Tachibana's status as the Mizukage among the five great ninja villages.

Even more ingenious is the possibility of Konoha.

No, let's not even talk about what Konoha as a whole is thinking, or whether there are really villains within the village who want to escalate the war.

At least Minato Namikaze, the Hokage, genuinely did not want the war to continue.

So, once Tachibana Kenkawa intervenes to stop the battle between the Hokage and the Raikage, the more impulsive Raikage A, who has already increased his troops significantly, will be at a disadvantage in terms of public opinion.

They will also prefer to end the war as soon as possible and deal with the Sand Village and Iwa Village behind the attack on the Tailed Beasts. They will definitely put pressure on the Raikage to force the two villages to negotiate peace.

Even if Raikage A is not captured alive by Minato Namikaze, the situation will not change much.

Whether the previous attack was orchestrated by the Hidden Cloud Village or was actually instigated by certain individuals within the Hidden Leaf Village, it remains to be seen whether it was staged by the Hidden Cloud Village itself or by someone within the Hidden Leaf Village acting on their own initiative.

The Hokage faction, led by Minato Namikaze, naturally achieved their goal of ending the war.

Even the previous attack itself will be downplayed within the framework of the ceasefire.

Various thoughts raced through Jianchuan Ju's mind.

He then looked at Nara Shikaku with some disdain, who was still waiting for his reply.

"They're full of bad intentions! Their tactical maneuvering is truly dirty!"

After giving Nara Shikaku a disdainful look at his complicated mind, Tachibana Kenkawa immediately put on a gentle and sunny smile again.

He waved to Mei Terumi and Zabuza, signaling them to release the person, before speaking.

"No rush, let's go out and take a look first. Maybe the outcome has already been decided outside?"

Seeing that Kirigakure had released the prisoners and hearing the ongoing roar of battle outside, Tsuchikage Onoki gave a strange look and gestured for Hirotsuchi and Bunya to put away their weapons, while also speaking up in support.

"That's right, let's wait and see. The Hokage and Raikage are both young, and it's rare for them to meet a worthy opponent. It would be good if they could settle things once and for all."

After saying that, Onoki exchanged a subtle glance with Tachibana Kenkawa, but the two immediately turned their heads away in disgust.

"Old fox!" "Little fox!"

Does it really matter to the three factions of Water, Earth, and Wind who are observing from the sidelines, who wins and who loses between Konoha and Kumogakure?

If it weren't for the Five Shadows meeting currently underway, they would be more than happy to see the two sides beat each other senseless.

Now that the war has already begun, it makes no difference whether it is stopped sooner or later.

As long as no one dies in today's battle between Minato Namikaze and A.

In that case, the authority of the Five Shadows Summit itself will not be undermined.

As long as no one died, no one simply ran away.

Ultimately, under pressure, both sides had no choice but to move towards peace talks.

As for who wins and who loses, how the two ninja villages want to negotiate, and who suffers a loss, nobody cares at all; as long as a final ceasefire is reached, that's all that matters.

On the contrary, the longer the time drags on, the more casualties will occur on the battlefields of the Thunder and Fire nations.

So the scene became...

Tachibana Kanagawa and Onoki dawdled as they walked outside.

Nara Shikaku and the other three didn't care about anything else and immediately set off to run away.

Mifune, who didn't need to think so much, immediately took his two subordinates and followed.

On the contrary, Kazekage Rasa originally wanted to use a ninjutsu to break through the wall and show off his strength.

Seeing that both Tachibana and Onoki were walking at a leisurely pace, I was still a little confused, but I slowed down and followed them closely.

However, before the group could even stroll to the main gate...

The explosions that had been coming in from outside suddenly fell silent.

The group, who had been leisurely exchanging glances, immediately changed their expressions.

"Damn! Did one of them really die?!"

The group immediately quickened their pace and instantly appeared on the snow outside the house.

However, all that could be seen were the seven people who had come out earlier and the messy remnants of the battle.

Apart from the uneven ground and the crooked trees, there was no sign of Minato Namikaze or A, the fourth generation, who had fought earlier.

Where did the Raikage take Minato Namikaze?

Confused, Tachibana immediately spoke up to remind Zabuza beside her.

Zabuza.

Fortunately, Zabuza didn't mess up this time and instantly understood Tachibana's intention.

Immediately activate the White Eyes to conduct a 360° all-around sensory search.

However, he then seemed a little dazed and spoke with some uncertainty in his voice.

"Uh, in the sky."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked in the direction Zabuza was looking.

Then a tiny, almost imperceptible black dot in the sky was seen rapidly growing larger.

It was none other than the figure of the fourth generation Ai.

At this moment, the fourth generation Ai's body was bent downwards in a "V" shape, as if he had just been hit hard in mid-air.

It was falling rapidly and uncontrollably from the sky.

Then came a "whoosh" sound.

Minato Namikaze, who had been somewhere in the sky, instantly appeared again directly below the Raikage as he landed.

The blond youth squatted slightly, extending his right arm backward in an extremely exaggerated gesture.

His whole body resembled a giant crossbow stretched to its limit.

At the same time, a blue chakra ball radiating a dazzling light rapidly condensed in his right hand, and continued to grow rapidly as the ball rotated.

In the blink of an eye, this ferocious and terrifying giant Rasengan had already swelled to nearly the height of a person.

The hissing sound produced by the rapid spinning of chakra was sharp and piercing.

The muddy ground beneath Minato Namikaze's feet was reduced to dust by the terrifying chakra energy swirling around, and then rapidly spread in all directions.

At this moment, the Fourth Raikage, who was rapidly falling from the sky, was about to land in front of Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze's usually gentle face showed a strange hint of excitement.

"This technique is called, 'Bird Falling Instantly Returning to Home Base, Second Technique!'"
