Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 544 Why are you dressed like this...?

Tachibana looked at Minato Namikaze in surprise.

She was a little slow to realize how her words had led him to associate them with the involvement of the Hidden Cloud Village.

However, upon further reflection, there are actually quite a few suspicious points exposed about the Hidden Cloud Village.

The attack I suffered at the Five Kage Summit by the "Xuanyuan Clan" had nothing to do with the Zero Organization, but then the Cloud Village launched a surprise attack on Konoha under the pretext of being attacked as well.

The date chosen by the two sides for the peace talks this time was highly questionable.

Regarding the location of the peace talks, Kumogakure relinquished its advantage of occupied territory, deliberately retreating to the Land of Hot Springs, which is further away from Konoha's headquarters. As a result, "coincidentally," Konoha was attacked.

In addition, he was inexplicably called upon as an outsider to witness this peace talks, and the Cloud Village side clearly intended to delay the process. Finally, he was intercepted on his way to provide support.

Not to mention, before the peace talks, Tachibana Kanakawa had given some hints, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Looking at it this way, didn't Obito handle this a bit too carelessly?!"

However, while Tachibana was still mentally criticizing Obito Uchiha as the mastermind behind everything, Kenkawa Tachibana was...

Minato Namikaze immediately shook his head to himself.

"No, it couldn't be the Hidden Cloud Village behind the scenes. If the Hidden Cloud Village had such hidden power, they wouldn't have needed to fight a war of attrition with us on the battlefield earlier."

???

Kanakawa Tachibana looked at Namikaze Minato, who was engrossed in his analysis, somewhat dumbfounded.

"Wait, buddy? I haven't even said anything yet, how come you've already denied the correct answer yourself?"

It was only at this moment that Tachibana Kanakawa realized what was happening.

It turns out that when Minato Namikaze mentioned Kumogakure earlier, he wasn't guessing that the Raikage had been controlled by Obito; he actually suspected that Kumogakure was behind the whole thing.

However, he still readily nodded in agreement with Minato Namikaze's guess.

"Ah, right, right, if those barbarians from Kumogakure had this level of skill, they would probably have been so arrogant as to start wars on all sides by now. Since Minato Namikaze couldn't guess the correct answer, Tachibana Kenkawa naturally didn't intend to say anything more."

Anyway, Obito has already attracted enough hatred, and Tachibana doesn't want him to be completely exposed so easily.

Afterwards, Minato Namikaze and Tachibana Kanagawa briefly discussed the follow-up negotiations with Kumogakure.

Tachibana Kenkawa originally thought that Konoha would need a period of rest after this battle.

It would be inconvenient for Hokage Minato Namikaze to abandon the village and leave.

The peace talks between Miyo and Kumogakure will most likely be postponed further.

Kanagawa Tachibana, whose primary motivation was to watch the spectacle, naturally had no interest in negotiations that had little to do with her.

Let's go and make another trip.

However, Minato Namikaze, perhaps fearing a renewed war, decided to entrust the restoration of Konoha to Jiraiya.

Even the village's collective funeral was postponed for a few days, and he had to set off alone the next day to return to the front lines of the Land of Hot Water to finalize the peace talks as soon as possible.

After thinking about Kisame Hoshigaki, whom she had left in the Land of Hot Water to await news, Tachibana Kanagawa decided not to refuse again and planned to set off with Minato Namikaze after dawn.

However, in Minato Namikaze's eyes, Tachibana's actions were tantamount to supporting Konoha, which had just suffered a major blow, in the upcoming negotiations.

My gratitude deepened.

Now that he has experienced a great change, he only shows a smile in front of a few people.

Surprisingly, this included Tachibana Kanakawa, a former enemy on the battlefield.

Now, Tachibana Kanagawa is a little worried that she might feel embarrassed to trick Minato Namikaze in the future.

The subsequent post-disaster reconstruction work became an internal matter for Konoha.

Although Tachibana Kanagawa, a super medical ninja, could be of great help to Konoha, both sides subconsciously avoided mentioning it.

After arranging a reasonably good place for guest Tachibana Kanakawa to rest, Minato Namikaze once again entered a tense and busy phase.

Back in his room, Tachibana Kenkawa, who had been up all day, didn't rush to rest.

A figure was slowly emerging from the ground in front of Jianchuan Ju.

"Hikari, you've been in a fight?"

"Huh? Wait, why are you wearing that outfit?"

The person who arrived was none other than Uchiha Hikaru, who had also participated in tonight's series of events.

Because he used a "technique" to appear from underground, at first, Tachibana Kenkawa only noticed some scratches on Uchiha Hikaru's mask.

It wasn't until her figure completely emerged from the ground that Tachibana Kanakawa noticed her.

Uchiha Hikaru is wearing a black robe with red clouds tonight.

Although Tachibana Kanakawa had previously misunderstood the Zero Organization's equipment due to the inertia of the original work.

However, after witnessing Orochimaru and Sasori's attire once, he naturally arranged for someone to secretly produce another batch of black robes with purple pupils overnight.

That's why Uchiha Hikaru was surprised by what he was wearing at that moment.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Hikaru removed his mask, stared blankly at his clothes, and then looked up at Kenkawa Tachibana with a hint of confusion.

"Okay, so be it. It's not a big deal."

Kenkawa Tachibana didn't bother to dwell on whether she had made a mistake or Uchiha Hikaru had forgotten to change her clothes. Instead, she pointed to the battle marks on her clothes and asked softly.

"Who did this scare you with?"

Upon hearing Tachibana Uchiha's question, Hikaru lowered his head, put his hands behind his back, and replied somewhat hesitantly.

"I ran into Obito Uchiha, but there was no fight. I sank underground and escaped."

"Um, this..."

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju was momentarily speechless.

With Xiaoyun Robe on and the "Technique" activated face-to-face, it seems that whether a battle has taken place is no longer important.

However, upon reflection, the frontline attack on Sunagakure and Nagato's capture of the Four-Tails were essentially telling Obito Uchiha that another force was taking advantage of the chaos.

In addition, since we had already prepared to take action to hold off Obito tonight, even if we exposed some things, it didn't seem to be too much beyond our plans.

Tachibana Kanagawa then turned to comfort Hikaru Uchiha, who seemed somewhat remorseful.

"It's nothing serious, as long as everyone is alright."

"By the way, did the White Zetsu team's operation tonight, and the interception of the Nine-Tails' chakra, go smoothly?"

Seeing that Tachibana Uchiha didn't seem to blame him, Hikaru Uchiha finally felt a little relieved.

He then took out two scrolls from his pocket and handed them to Jianchuan Ju.

"The White Zetsu squad has successfully evacuated without any casualties."

"This is the spoils of war."

Jianchuan Tachibana looked at the two scrolls that Uchiha Hikaru handed her with a blank expression, then looked up at Uchiha Hikaru's expression and subconsciously asked a question.

"Why are there two?"
