Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 51 The Whole Story (Second Update! Please Subscribe!)

Qing naturally wouldn't know.

Having already completed his mission, Minato Namikaze, summoned by the village, left his students behind and returned to Konoha Village early, abandoning his Flying Thunder God technique.

Putting myself in their shoes, I realized that while my two disciples were fighting, I, as a Jonin, was staying aside to train them. Since only two boys were showing themselves on the other side, was the Jonin captain also observing from the sidelines?

In this situation, Aoto, being a sensory ninja, was unable to detect the other party's presence and naturally would not rashly attack the two Konoha boys.

Having learned what had happened, Tachibana Kanagawa guessed what Ao was thinking, but she felt neither joy nor regret.

Although I am still very weak at the moment, being familiar with the plot will be a great help.

However, the plot of "Obito's death" is estimated to be two or three years from now, so Tachibana Kenkawa, after careful consideration, is no longer concerned about whether the other party is alive or dead.

After tying up the rainbow sparrow as well, the four of them quickly cleaned up the battlefield on both sides.

The main purpose is to eliminate the obvious traces of battle that show the style of the Hidden Mist Village, but since there are still Konoha ninjas who have left alive, there is no need to hide it too much.

The four of them gathered in that strange temple. Aomoto was thinking of using the two prisoners to teach his three disciple ninjas interrogation techniques.

Unexpectedly, the female ninja named Caique didn't give him a chance at all, and confessed everything in a straightforward manner.

The so-called "Four Symbols Workshop" is a workshop of craftsmen that has been passed down from a thousand years ago to the present day.

Their ancestor, Qingming, left behind a scroll that is said to be able to revive the dead using four unique ninja tools.

However, because so much time has passed, the previous successors of "Sixiangfang" only regarded this matter as a legend, and it was gradually forgotten in a corner.

Until now, "Sixiangfang" has gradually declined.

As a child, Bao Gui accidentally discovered this scroll that recorded the legend of the resurrected ancestor and became convinced of it.

They hope to unify the ninja world by resurrecting the invincible ancestor, Seimei.

From then on, Bao Gui devoted himself to studying the contents of the scroll, raising funds to purchase materials by swindling and cheating people everywhere.

In the end, he actually managed to forge one of the ninja tools recorded on the scroll, the "Genki Firelight Sword," and it was at this time that Aya joined the plan to build the tortoise.

However, Caique's purpose was not to revive the ancestor Qingming, and she also showed great disdain for Bao Gui's ideal of unifying the ninja world.

Caique had only witnessed the power of the legendary ninja tools and wanted to use them to her advantage.

Later, Bao Gui used Cai Que's authority in the village to embezzle a lot of materials, and the two of them worked together again to create the "Peacock Flying Twin Swords" and gave them to Cai Que to use.

Unfortunately, although the first two ninja tools, one controlling fire and the other controlling wind, still had many similarities, the latter two ninja tools were completely different from the previous forging techniques. The two spent a lot of time and materials but failed to create the finished products.

Not to mention that Bao Gui's desire to resurrect his ancestor requires more than just forging four ninja tools. It also requires forging a vessel to extract chakra and the complex array needed for the final resurrection.

Finally, with no other options, the two decided to use the combat power boost provided by their ninja tools to directly control the leader of the Takumi Ninja Village, who was also the most skilled forger in the village, and to help them continue their research on the scroll.

Meanwhile, the two also smuggled ninja tools from various countries to raise funds and acquire rare materials to continue their plans.

The four listened to the story as if it were just a story, and after Cai Que finished recounting it, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

Looking at the black longsword that Qing was holding in his hand, Zabuza asked incredulously.

"Can this thing really bring the dead back to life?"

"It's probably just a legend, right?"

Mei Terumi answered hesitantly, unable to imagine what connection this fire-breathing sword had with resurrection.

However, Tachibana Kanagawa, who was standing nearby, knew that more than ten years later, Kame had indeed completed the great feat of resurrecting his ancestor using four ninja tools and the "Four Celestial Elephants" he had formed.

Unfortunately, their ancestor Seimei, whom they had painstakingly resurrected, was far too weak. He was easily killed by Gaara, who had not yet become the Kazekage, as soon as he appeared.

Furthermore, it's unclear whether Bao Gui was tricked by the leader of the Takumi Ninja Village. The so-called resurrection of the ancestor involved sacrificing Bao Gui's own life first.

"Teacher Qing, what about the smuggling?"

"No need. You had Lanzi inform me earlier that after confirming there were no ninjas in the workshop, I used genjutsu to hypnotize everyone and found their transaction ledger."

Okay, although Ao isn't a Jonin who's proficient in genjutsu, he probably still knows a few simple genjutsu techniques that can control ordinary people.

Facing an ordinary workshop with no ninja defenses, you can indeed search it however you want.

"However, leaving these two in Takumi-nin Village would be troublesome, so let's bring them back to the village."

No one objected to Qing's decision.

However, Zabuza inappropriately spoke up to ask a question.

"Captain Qing, which family is behind the smuggling and the pirates?"

Hearing Zabuza ask a question at this moment, Tachibana wished she could fly up and cover his mouth.

He had absolutely no interest in topics concerning internal village struggles.

After all, what I need most right now is plenty of time to develop in peace. Committing this kind of mission is already troublesome enough. I should leave the other matters to the village leaders.

Fortunately, Ao probably didn't want his disciple to get too involved in these dark matters, so he didn't answer Zabuza's question.

"The ledger alone is not enough to confirm everything. Our mission objective has been achieved. We can leave the rest to Jonin Karatachi."

Hearing Qing's answer, it's likely that the Kirigakure clan wasn't the only one involved in smuggling with Bao Gui's group.

However, judging from what Caique just said, the ledger must also contain evidence of smuggling by some forces from the other four major ninja villages.

If that's the case, then the importance of this ledger will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

Now that the matter was completely resolved, Ao decided to return to Kirigakure as soon as possible.

As for this strange temple, after hearing Caique's account, everyone already knew that it was the tomb of Qingming, the ancestor of the Craftsman Kingdom.

Unfortunately, none of the four possessed any advanced sealing techniques, and directly destroying it might lead to unforeseen consequences. They could only leave it alone and wait until they returned to the village to see if the village would send a sealing team to handle the matter.

"Teacher Qing, have you forgotten something?"

"What?"

After being reminded by Jianchuan Ju, Qing actually looked at his disciple with a puzzled expression.

"Our mission!"

"A mission? Ah! Mr. Shimotsuki!"

Only then did Qing finally remember that the target of their mission, which they were supposed to escort this time, was Shimotsuki Ichiro, whom she had left at the Four Symbols Pavilion.

At this moment, Shimotsuki Ichiro was sitting inside the Shisho-bo.

Looking at the Four Symbols Workshop staff lying haphazardly on the ground, hypnotized by illusion magic, they didn't know whether to leave or stay.

He sighed silently to himself.

"I'll never agree to help with these kinds of lousy things again!"
