Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 510 Mediation Force

"Orange, why didn't you agree to let me join that peacekeeping force before?"

In the vast expanse of white snow, Zabuza quickly took two steps to stand beside Tachibana Kanagawa and asked in a somewhat indignant tone.

Mei Terumi, who was standing next to Tachibana Kenkawa, glanced at Zabuza with some disdain and muttered under her breath.

"It's a peacekeeping force! You can't even remember their name, and you want to join them? Are you just going to be used as a pawn after you get in?"

Seeing Mei Terumi glaring at him angrily, Zabuza's first reaction was to shrink back.

However, he immediately realized that his strength had now completely surpassed Mei Terumi's, so there was no need to worry about being beaten up. He then glared back angrily.

However, Mei Terumi had already turned her gaze away and looked at Tachibana Kanagawa, who was walking ahead, with eyes full of admiration.

"That guy Ming, he's really not even putting on an act anymore!"

Having failed to glare back, Zabuza could only dejectedly withdraw his gaze and obediently resume following Tachibana's steps.

However, Tachibana Kanagawa himself was oblivious to the intense gaze that Mei Terumi was giving him from behind.

Instead, he was preoccupied with recalling and sorting out the latter part of the Five Kage Summit.

"Mei is right. Zabuza will be strong enough by then, but joining the Maintenance Force requires more than just strength; we also need to choose someone with some brains."

Originally, after the battle between the Hokage and the Raikage, Tachibana Kenkawa proposed that the five villages work together to form a special force to target Obito's mastermind organization.

The original idea was that even if they couldn't gain actual control of the force, they could still have more say because of their performance at the Five Kage Summit.

Of course, Tachibana Kenkawa himself didn't value this unit, which was destined to be a mixed bag and full of infighting, that he didn't really care about.

After all, in his previous life he had seen too much of the five gangsters holding each other back, even in this ninja world that was more barbaric and direct and valued fists more.

Jianchuan Ju wouldn't dare to hope for that; how much practical effect could the joint force formed by the five great ninja villages, who had previously fought each other to the death, actually play?

However, Tachibana Ichika wanted to use this unit, which was jointly formed by everyone, to exchange the latest investigation information about Obito Uchiha's side more in real time between the various ninja villages.

In this respect, this is the only positive effect that can be achieved through mutual benefit among the various ninja villages in this matter.

Secondly, Tachibana Kanagawa was also laying the groundwork for a possible Fourth Shinobi World War.

After all, what he has been planning all along is to defeat the mastermind behind the scenes in a future upheaval that could threaten the entire ninja world in a fair and square manner.

Acquire enough prestige to reduce obstacles to future unification through benevolent rule.

By systematically forcing Black Zetsu and Obito to launch the Fourth Shinobi World War, they could undoubtedly set up a perfect target.

If, in the early stages of this investigation and confrontation, we can demonstrate initiative and subtly establish leadership.

In the future Shinobi World War, the Allied Forces will inevitably gain more say in leadership and command.

He even went so far as to become the commander-in-chief.

It can be considered a cost-effective initial investment.

At the same time, and more importantly, the last point.

With the current relatively underdeveloped information dissemination channels in the ninja world.

Outside of the Ninja World War, it was actually very difficult for the leaders of each village to have any significant "exposure" in the entire Ninja World.

Those ordinary Jonin who are still on the front lines carrying out missions are one thing.

If you're a workaholic, you can run around the ninja world carrying out missions and barely make a name for yourself.

But true high-ranking officials like him, who stay in the village year-round and never leave their homes, are different.

More than a decade later, people's impression of him may still be limited to his few appearances during the Third Shinobi World War.

On the contrary, this so-called joint force has a seemingly plausible goal, yet it can legitimately roam around the ninja world.

While helping Kirigakure cultivate a few ninja 'stars,' he might also bring some prestige to the entire Kirigakure village and to him, the Mizukage.

It can more or less reverse some of the "blood mist" reputation that Kirigakure left on the ninja world.

These are the true intentions behind Jianchuan Juhui's proposal of this "joint force".

It was also a major driving force behind his decision to actively participate in this Five Shadows Conference after discussing it with Elder Yuan Shi long before attending the meeting.

However...

Although Jianchuan Ju has demonstrated his strength, he has also sold out his personal connections.

Even the proposal to form this unit did not encounter much resistance from the other figures.

Even his attempts to sow discord between Konoha and other ninja villages were surprisingly effective due to a few unexpected factors.

Minato Namikaze and A the Fourth Generation, who had previously fought each other at the meeting, wisely refrained from vying for control of the unit.

But the Tsuchikage Onoki and the Kazekage Rasa.

Even though he had vaguely realized that his own strength might be somewhat inferior to that of the Mizukage, Kenkawa Tachibana, he still refused to give up easily.

They just stubbornly refused to let go.

They stubbornly put on an attitude of "What we want is fairness, so go ahead and beat us to death here if you dare."

In the end, the two even discussed joining forces with the Fourth Hokage, A, who had begun to drift off into his own world, to jointly protect the interests of their respective ninja village.

Fortunately, before setting off, Jianchuan Ju was not entirely unprepared for this situation.

After several rounds of wrangling and seeing that nothing was being done, they decided to come up with a new idea.

Since this force will be jointly funded and staffed by the five major ninja villages, and jointly managed.

In that case, the funding will be split equally among the participants, so there's not much to say.

However, in terms of personnel, the strongest among the ninjas who actually joined the unit were selected to serve as the unit's commander.

And based on their abilities, management positions are delegated to different levels in sequence.

The ninjas from various villages who join this unit will naturally not leave their original villages and will have to rotate back periodically.

This would prevent a single ninja village from monopolizing command and management positions for too long.

At the same time, this can also be seen as a way to prevent personnel from a particular ninja village from being of poor quality and doing a perfunctory job.

Ultimately, perhaps because they felt that since the Mizukage, Tachibana Kenkawa, was unlikely to personally intervene, their other ninjas might not necessarily lose to Kirigakure, the other four clans, after only a brief discussion, all agreed.

Or perhaps each of the filmmakers saw their own interests in it.

The function of this unit also started from the very beginning.

Investigate and counter the organization behind the activities targeting the Tailed Beasts.

It has become...

The five major ninja villages joined forces to form an elite ninja force to maintain overall peace in the ninja world and to work together to investigate and resolve any potential dangerous forces lurking in the shadows.

Instead, the initial goal of building the team became the first mission after the unit was formed.

The name of this unit was finalized after several discussions among the members.

Shinobi World Peacekeeping and Investigation Force!

Abbreviated as "Mediation and Control Force"!
