Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 556 Agreed! I agree!

"Participating in peacekeeping forces?"

Yahiko clearly didn't understand why Tachibana Kenkawa would make such a suggestion.

Although the Maintenance and Investigation Unit claims to be "maintaining peace in the ninja world" and "investigating potential crises," it is essentially an organization established to deal with Zero, which is secretly capturing tailed beasts.

Amegakure doesn't have its own tailed beasts, so why would they join this organization?

Okay, because of Nagato's death, Amegakure does indeed have a grudge against the Zero organization, but...:

"Will the other four major ninja villages agree to this?"

Yahiko asked somewhat hesitantly.

Unlike establishing their headquarters in Amegakure, Amegakure is defined as a representative of small ninja villages, with responsibilities such as presiding over, supervising, and mediating.

However, even Yahiko himself knew this, but he was just saying it.

The name of the pacification force reveals that the five great ninja villages established this force with their own ambitions in mind. Once the Zero Organization is truly eliminated, they will certainly not disband the force directly.

Interfering in the regimes of small countries under the guise of maintaining peace, cracking down on hostile forces, and establishing the prestige of the Great Ninja Village are all foreseeable future developments.

How could the five great ninja villages, or rather the four ninja villages excluding Kirigakure, possibly allow Amegakure, whose status is not equal to theirs, to participate in such a violent organization that is concerned with its own interests?

Upon hearing Yahiko's question, Tachibana Kenkawa simply shook her head slightly with a calm expression.

"Leaving aside the question of whether other ninja villages can agree, if this proposal is passed, I hope that Nagato can join the peacekeeping force as the representative of Amegakure."

"ah?""

Nagato, who had been acting as the "telephone line" the whole time, stared blankly at Tachibana.

Who would have thought that this matter would inexplicably involve me?

Ignoring Nagato's bewildered expression, and after signaling the two to calm down, Tachibana Kenkawa finally spoke up to explain.

"This is not a bad thing for Amegakure; in fact, it is a choice you have no choice but to make."

"Aside from the obvious benefit of enhancing Amegakure's standing in the ninja world by participating in this matter, Yahiko, have you considered this? If the Land of Rain is chosen as the base for this force jointly formed by the five great ninja villages, will Amegakure still have the opportunity to develop its own military strength in the future?"

"Or, have you ever considered what kind of impact this foreign force would have on the Land of Rain if Amegakure lost its own military power and command fell into the hands of Iwagakure or Sunagakure?"

Upon hearing this, Yahiko fell completely silent. Of course, he had considered this matter beforehand.

Since the peacekeeping force is called a "force", it is impossible for each family to send only a few Jonin to participate.

Gathering intelligence, participating in battles, and even carrying out some simpler tasks all require a certain number of Chunin and Genin squads.

When these ninjas from the five villages "stationed" in the Land of Rain, they were right under the noses of the Five Villages Alliance.

Amegakure is fine as long as it maintains its current size of ninja. But if it wants to continue with its previous plan and rapidly develop its military strength with the "support" of the daimyo, what will it do?

What does Amegakure want to do?

Is this an attempt to threaten the peacekeeping forces?

Or does he want to start another ninja world war like Hanzo the Salamander and launch a counterattack against the three major neighboring countries?

However, for the sake of maintaining the reputation of a neutral country, Yahiko could only tell himself that this was a helpless move.

Seeing that Yahiko remained silent, Tachibana Kenkawa continued.

"If Amegakure could join this unit, it would not only have a certain impact on them,

This in itself can be considered as opening a gap in the cultivation of military strength.

.

"Well, if Nagato does end up joining the Maintenance Force, Yahiko, I'll teach you the Fire Release: Sunny Day ninjutsu under the pretext of improving the weather at the base."

After Tachibana Kenkawa finished speaking, Yahiko hadn't reacted yet, but Nagato suddenly stood up.

She looked at Jianchuan Ju with a face full of surprise.

"A bright sunny day! Is that the kind of ninjutsu that can change the weather?!"

Yahiko instantly understood upon hearing Nagato's words, his eyes also filled with anticipation.

No wonder the two of them reacted so strongly.

The fact that Tachibana Kanagawa, the Mizukage, possesses the ability to manipulate the weather is no secret among the high-ranking officials of various ninja villages in the ninja world.

Fog, snowfall, hail, rainstorm, sunny day.

It seems that no matter the scenario, this Mizukage is able to create a more favorable combat environment for himself.

As for the other weather-related factors, Yahiko and Nagato didn't seem to care much.

However, the ninjutsu "Fire Release: Sunny Day" is far too important for Amegakure, unlike Kirigakure.

Although Kirigakure is shrouded in mist all year round, the damp weather has an acceptable impact on the villagers, and the mist also serves as a natural barrier.

Therefore, Kirigakure only took a detached attitude towards dispelling the mist.

However, the continuous rain in Amegakure, or rather the Land of Rain, has reached a point where it has seriously affected the lives of ordinary people.

Agricultural restrictions, traffic congestion, building damage, disease outbreaks, and economic setbacks—the list of harms is endless.

It can be said that the backward development of the Rain Country is partly due to the constant wars, and the other half is due to the rainy weather that hangs over the Rain Country all year round.

Now that Tachibana Kenkawa is willing to pass on his unique ninjutsu that can create sunny weather to Amegakure, it's no exaggeration to say that he has saved millions of people in the Land of Rain.

Did Nagato or Yahiko not know that the ninjutsu Tachibana Kenkyuu could help Amegakure?

How is that possible?

Jianchuan Tachibana would often hang a sun in the sky above Kirigakure, making Nagato so envious he was practically drooling.

But that's precisely why.

This offshoot might not have much impact on Tachibana Kenshin himself, but it is extremely effective against Kirigakure's signature "Hidden Mist Technique," even more so than the various Wind Release ninjutsu that are generally accepted in the ninja world.

As a member of Kirigakure, Nagato could never bring himself to mention this matter to Tachibana.

Now, Tachibana Kanakawa has actually taken the initiative to agree to teach him.

Nagato quickly winked at Yahiko, signaling him to agree soon.

Seeing this, Jianchuan Ju smiled and gave a reminder.

"Don't be too happy yet. The prerequisite for teaching ninjutsu is that Nagato can join the Control Unit as Amegakure. Moreover, I will only teach it to the two of you. If you want to pass on this ninjutsu to others, you must get my permission."

However, Yahiko's excitement did not cool down at all after hearing this. On the contrary, he nodded repeatedly because he heard that Nagato could also learn it.

"Agreed! I agree!"

After saying this, Yahiko seemed to feel somewhat guilty towards Tachibana Kenkawa, and continued to add.

"If the ninjas of Amegakure could join the Restoration Force, all their actions would be at the Mizukage's behest!"
