Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 561 Departure!

The so-called Kurosaki clan was naturally a fabrication by Tachibana Kenkawa.

It was merely a fabricated clan created out of thin air to deceive people and allow these relocated Uchiha clan members to better integrate into Kirigakure.

Even the "Burn, Moonlit Blade" technique used by the previous few Uchiha boys.

Actually, it was a completely new secret technique that Tachibana Kenkawa himself temporarily modified from the "Fire Release: Regret Sword".

Aside from the adjustments to the design, some 'anti-counterfeiting measures' commonly used in secret techniques have been added to prevent outsiders from easily deducing the secrets through hand seals.

In essence, it is no different from the "Sword of Regret".

This can be considered a small compensation from Tachibana Kenkawa to the sensible Fugaku Uchiha, or rather, the Kurosaki clan.

After all, after joining Kirigakure, many of the Uchiha clan's signature abilities could no longer be used openly.

A secret technique suited to the Uchiha clan could perfectly make up for this weakness.

The Sharingan brings Yin-attribute chakra, a constitution naturally suited to fire-attribute, a slightly modified ancestral Uchiha-style swordsmanship, and the Sharingan's perceptive abilities after wearing colored contact lenses.

Finally, add the fire-attribute secret technique "Shanyue," which combines these elements.

In a flash, he transformed.

A clan of secret arts, which has been passed down since the Warring States period but is not considered powerful, suffered a great upheaval and its members scattered and fled. Some members chose to come and seek refuge in Kirigakure.

There are countless clans in the ninja world that use all sorts of secret techniques. Small clans that don't have bloodline inheritance won't attract outside attention, nor will they make the major clans in the village wary. That's just right.

After the "acceptance" is completed.

Then, Tachibana Kanagawa led the Uchiha clan members to a small but suitable settlement within Kirigakure to settle them.

The Kurosaki clan was then officially integrated into Kirigakure.

As for the children like Kurosaki Itachi and Kurosaki Sasuke, Tachibana Kenkawa will gradually arrange for them to attend the Hidden Mist Ninja Academy when they reach the appropriate age.

Aside from the fact that the head of the Kurosaki clan, Kurosaki Hikaru, doesn't usually go home and likes to run to the Mizukage's residence whenever he has a spare moment, there are no other loopholes.

After settling the Kurosaki clan, everything in Kirigakure seemed to return to normal.

Time flies.

It wasn't until about two weeks later.

"Orange, I want to go too~"

The newly appointed head of the Kurosaki clan was looking pitifully at Tachibana Kanakawa, who was packing her things to leave.

This gave him quite a headache.

"Weren't you having a great time playing with Itachi and Sasuke lately? Why are you thinking of going out with me again now?"

Uchiha Hikari, this girl, is somewhat of a tsundere (saying one thing but meaning another) type.

At first, they treated the Kurosaki family kids as ordinary villagers, and ignored them.

But as the 'patriarch', he still has to make his presence known in public.

As a result, after a few days, somehow, she became best friends with Uchiha Izumi, who was only five years old.

He also showed a more favorable attitude towards the other children of the Kurosaki clan.

As far as Tachibana Kanagawa knows, Hikaru, whenever he has nothing better to do, will give Izumi Uchiha some terrible ideas on how to pursue his childhood friend Itachi.

Jianchuan Ju simply went along with it and asked Guang to help guide the genius Uchiha Itachi in his daily training.

Unexpectedly, just as Tachibana was about to leave today, Hikaru Uchiha unexpectedly approached him, wanting to be his bodyguard and accompany him to the Land of Rain.

Yes, after a lot of procrastination and wrangling among the five great ninja villages.

The general framework for the peacekeeping force has finally been finalized.

Yahiko also successfully secured a neutral status for Amegakure, although it was only a "temporary neutral state".

On the contrary, what Tachibana Kenkawa was more concerned about was the proposal to allow Amegakure's ninjas to join the maintenance forces just like the five great ninja villages.

After the location of the military base was determined, not a single person from the other four major ninja villages stepped forward to object.

This left Jianchuan Ju unsure whether they hadn't figured out her plan or had some other scheme in mind.

However, although Amegakure obtained a 'seat' in the maintenance force, it did not have the right to participate in the competition for the force's commander.

He was the sixth participant, second only to the five great ninja villages.

This is also within the acceptable range for Tachibana Kenkawa and Yahiko.

Today, Tachibana Kanagawa is preparing to lead a team to the headquarters of the maintenance force that is about to be built in the Land of Rain, to participate in the establishment of this force and the selection and management of the first two-year force commander.

On the surface, the five great ninja villages are simply contributing manpower and resources, selflessly dedicating themselves to maintaining peace in the ninja world.

No one in the Five Villages had any actual command authority over this unit.

However, the completion ceremony and the subsequent selection process will naturally require the participation of these five relatively prominent individuals to preside over them.

After calming down the pouting Uchiha Hikaru, Tachibana Kenkawa quickly pushed open the door, called over Zabuza and Mei Terumi who were already waiting outside, and went to the village gate to meet up with the rest of his subordinates.

What Jianchuan Ju didn't notice was...

Right behind him, before leaving, Mei Terumi made a face at Hikaru Uchiha.

Previously, in order to conceal his true identity, Uchiha Hikaru always referred to himself as "Kujikawa Hikaru," but due to his identity as an Anbu member and Kage bodyguard, few people knew this name.

Recently, Uchiha Hikaru changed his name to "Kurosaki Hikaru".

After learning about this, Mei Terumi was overjoyed.

Now that she's on a mission and acting as the bodyguard, she naturally wants to sneak a peek.

However, what Mei Terumi didn't realize was...

As she turned and left with Tachibana Kenkawa, Hikaru Uchiha, who had been looking somewhat aggrieved inside the house, immediately put on a smile.

After the three of them had gone some distance, he went to find Uchiha Izumi with great interest to share what had happened.

Let's not talk about the war without gunfire here.

Upon arriving at the village gate, Kisame Hoshigaki was already waiting there with his team for quite some time.

Apart from Kisame Hoshigaki, who was leading the group.

Behind him stood Itsaburo, Hozuki Shingetsu, and Kono, the three of them lined up in a row.

Then came the square formation of over fifty Chunin.

Originally, according to the arrangement of Tachibana Kenkawa and Elder Genji, Shingetsu Hozuki was not the candidate to join the maintenance and mediation force.

However, ever since his team of Zabuza and Mei Terumi was split up, he has been complaining that the other Chunin under his command are too weak, which has prevented his "Exploding Blade" from being fully utilized.

Jianchuan Ju simply ignored his nonsense and threw his new squad into the army as well.

He ignored Hozuki Shingetsu's resentful little gaze.

Tachibana Kanagawa beckoned to Kisame Hoshigaki and gave the order.

"Set off!"
