Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 518 I'll Plan It Myself

"A ceasefire can be reached, but..."

Black Zetsu shuddered immediately upon hearing Obito utter the word "however".

I was just thinking that the Cloud Village being forced to cease hostilities this time might not be a bad thing.

Who knows what bizarre things Obito will do next?

However, when Black Zetsu noticed the deathly stillness in Obito Uchiha's eyes, he immediately stopped the persuasive words he had prepared.

Now that Nagato is dead, we still need to keep Obito under control as much as possible!

Seeing that Black Jue seemed to want to say something but didn't actually speak, he realized that Black Jue was just hesitant to speak.

Obito Uchiha then continued.

"However, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's delivery date should be approaching soon, right?"

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu replied somewhat reluctantly.

"There are still twenty days left, but the Nine-Tails' matter is too important. If we act rashly..."

Before Black Zetsu could finish his words of comfort...

Obito Uchiha raised his hand to interrupt the other party's subsequent words and gave an order in a cold tone.

"Go and find Nameless. I'll personally oversee this plan!"

When Black Zetsu heard that Obito was going to personally devise the plan, his usually starkly black and white, monstrous face surprisingly revealed a strange, indescribable expression that was surprisingly human.

Having finally suppressed the other half within her body, the rather unconventional White Zetsu...

They prevented him from speaking, thus provoking Obito's emotions.

Black Zetsu nodded somewhat helplessly, then quickly merged into the ground and disappeared.

Only Obito Uchiha remained, sitting on one knee beside the waterfall on Turtle Island.

He stared blankly at the distant sky, muttering to himself.

"Will you be late again this time, Mr. Minato?"

Five days later, at dawn.

Golden sunlight spilled into the Hidden Mist Village, gently warming every early-rising villager.

It's not that today is another rare day when the dense fog in Kirigakure has cleared up.

However, after getting up early, Jianchuan Ju noticed that there seemed to be quite a few busy pedestrians on the street today.

So he casually cast "Fire Release: Sunny Day" high in the sky, dispelling all the fog in the village.

Given the amount of chakra that Tachibana Kanakawa currently possesses, this kind of not-so-severe "sunny day" would hardly consume any chakra even if it lasted all day.

Jianchuan Ju even once thought that every day would be sunny, with occasional rain, to make the weather in Kirigakure completely comfortable and pleasant.

It was only later, through the earnest persuasion of Elder Yuan, that he finally changed his mind.

What do you mean by disrupting the natural environmental balance within Kirigakure, losing Kirigakure's unique characteristics and traditions, or exposing the Mizukage's whereabouts?

A barrage of reasons finally convinced Jianchuan Ju to completely abandon this idea.

It only occasionally dispels the fog in the village and improves the daily living environment of the villagers.

These villagers have long been accustomed to sunny days every now and then.

As soon as the second sun appeared in the sky, he rushed home.

Take out all those damp tables, chairs, and bedding piled up and air them out. Enjoy this not-so-rare sunny day.

Only those from out of town who are visiting Kirigakure for the first time will stop on the street.

I was astonished to see the second sun burning fiercely in the sky.

And with the slightly proud explanation from others, they continued to be astonished.

Jianchuan Ju greeted the familiar villagers on the street with a smile before striding into the Shuiying Building.

Yesterday, the three of them, including Jianchuan Tachibana, arrived back in Kirigakure from the Five Kage Summit late at night.

Fortunately, the three of them had kept a low profile when they traveled before.

Many ninjas in the village were completely unaware that Tachibana Kenkawa, the Mizukage, had been missing for more than ten days.

So there's no need to make a big fuss about returning.

Jianchuan Ju even asked Quanbingwei to inform Elder Yuanshi again this morning that he had returned, so as not to disturb the old man's rest.

He then waved his hand to shoo Zabuza and Mei Terumi away, and went home to sleep.

However, the Five Kage Summit is paramount, as there are still many things to discuss with Elder Yuan Shi.

So Jianchuan Ju arrived at the office early today to "go back to work".

However, as soon as Jianchuan Ju pushed open the office door, she was greeted by Elder Yuanshi's slightly resentful gaze.

"Lord Mizukage, although I am old, I am not so old that I cannot get up in the middle of the night."

"So many important things have happened recently, how could Lord Mizukage possibly know? This old man also had a sleepless night last night."

Seeing that even the old man, Master Yuan, was actually throwing a tantrum, Jianchuan Ju couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Elder Yuan, this is not my fault. Last night, it was Quan Bingwei who told me that you had already rested."

Anyway, Kwon Hyung-eun isn't here right now.

Jianchuan Ju naturally wouldn't mention that Quanbingwei had even asked him, "Do you want to go and see if Elder Yuanshi is asleep?"

If he can take the blame for the Mizukage, I imagine that guy Gonbei will be extremely grateful, right?

After exchanging only a few words on these unrelated topics, the two of them returned to the main topic with serious expressions.

It mainly tells the story of what has happened recently.

Although the water keeper, Tachibana Kenkawa, was away from home, he maintained correspondence with the villagers.

However, many things still need to be discussed face-to-face.

Nothing major happened inside the Hidden Mist Village.

Even though he had noticed the escalating conflict between Konoha and Kumogakure, Elder Yuanshi did not intervene rashly.

He simply gave a brief report to Tachibana Kenkawa on the more important routine matters of the past few days.

On the other hand, Tachibana Kanagawa recounted in great detail to Elder Yuan Shi what had happened during the Five Kage Summit.

Along with her speculations about Kumogakure, and her subsequent meeting with Orochimaru, Tachibana Kenkawa did not choose to hide anything.

"Has the Raikage actually been secretly controlled by that Obito Uchiha?"

This rather confidential information was not mentioned in the letter by Jianchuan Ju, and Elder Yuanshi was quite shocked when he first heard about it.

As for Tachibana Kanagawa himself, perhaps because of Obito's control of the Mizukage in the original work, he was not too surprised or surprised by this.

"It may not be illusion control; it could just be cooperating with the other party. However, the difference between the two is not that significant to us at the moment."

Elder Yuan Shi clearly thought so too, and a look of worry naturally appeared on his face.

"Since even the Raikage is under enemy control, will the existence of the peacekeeping forces have any impact?"

Although the two had previously discussed the plan to form this joint force, there were many of Kirigakure's own ulterior motives involved.

However, the current situation, where the enemy has infiltrated our territory, is quite different from before.

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju nodded slightly.

"There will definitely be an impact, so the selection of personnel to be sent to the peacekeeping forces must be carefully considered."
