Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 576 Killing a Great Name

Hearing Uchiha Shisui's sarcastic remarks, Xue Huo's lips twitched involuntarily.

Although the opponent's so-called "Ice Release" was indeed a half-baked fake, it didn't even qualify as a bloodline limit.

But its power is genuinely at the level of a Jonin. How can a mere Chunin possibly compete with it? Is it the copyright of Ice Release?

Besides, he had clearly heard that the work of the maintenance and mediation unit was easy and that he could get exposure in front of various small ninja villages in the ninja world, so he used his connections to squeeze in and gain seniority. How come he has to face this kind of "challenge to a higher level" situation right from the start?

"Could it be that I'm actually the kind of protagonist described in Zhan Zhan's book, the one destined for greatness?!"

Just as Xue Huo was lost in thought, the cracking sound in his ears immediately pulled him back to reality.

Clearly, his "Ice Prison Hall" was not enough to withstand the opponent's offensive for long.

However, just as he was about to continue forming hand seals to reinforce his defense, a furious roar that seemed to pierce the wind could be faintly heard from outside the ice prison.

"Taiwan Escape * Strong Wind Rises!"

The typhoon and tornado collided, creating a deafening roar.

The thick ice prison shattered with a crash.

However, the fierce wind outside suddenly stopped, and the snowflakes gently drifted down.

Feng Xin was clutching her chest, breathing heavily.

Uchiha Shisui and Yukiko exchanged a glance, and without the slightest hesitation, they charged together towards Fuuka Nutō.

"Ice Release: Ice Pillar Swallow!"

Three ice spikes shot out rapidly, piercing through a snow ninja who tried to intercept Uchiha Shisui.

"Crystal Release: Divine Transference Technique!"

Rows of crystals pierced through the soil, sending another snow ninja flying into the air.

Honglian arrived just in time and stabbed the snow ninja, who had nowhere to hide, between the eyebrows with a backhand strike.

With no enemies blocking his way, Uchiha Shisui quickly formed hand seals and stomped his feet on the ground.

His figure flashed across the snow like lightning, leaving countless afterimages.

A dazzling blade of light sliced ​​through the air, and the afterimages trailing behind Uchiha Shisui were once again retrieved.

Crimson blood spurted into the sky, and the head of the raging storm rolled helplessly onto the snow, its unseeing eyes fixed on the back of Uchiha Shisui as he sheathed his sword.

I disagree.

"The bandit leader is dead! Those who surrender will not be killed!!"

Arriving a little later, Ibiki Morino didn't hesitate to grab Kazeka Nuta's head, which was still warm, and leaped high into the air, declaring victory to everyone.

"We are truly grateful to all the ninja masters for their assistance. You are indeed outstanding young talents from Kirigakure! Without you all, our Land of Snow might have fallen into the hands of that treacherous villain, Fuuka Nutō!"

"Yes, yes! You esteemed sirs have saved the people of our Snow Kingdom from dire straits!"

In the magnificent palace, the blood-stained floor had not yet been completely wiped clean.

The dozen or so noble officials from the Snow Kingdom were bowing and scraping to Honglian and her companions with fawning expressions, feigning gratitude.

Their righteous and indignant manner made it seem as if they, these opportunists, had never bowed down to flatter the daimyo when Feng Hua Nu Tao killed him.

Among them, Xue Huo, who was born into the Snow Clan, was surrounded by everyone at the very center, making this boy, who had hardly ever left the Land of Water, just scratch his head with a silly grin.

Among the three members of the Konoha group standing nearby, Ibiki Morino curled his lip in disdain and muttered under his breath.

"Those guys from Kirigakure are getting more and more arrogant. We were clearly representing the peacekeeping force, and Shisui was the one who contributed the most. Why are they acting like it was a mission they took on internally?"

Hearing his teammates' complaints, Moonlight Gale, who was rubbing his chest to relieve his fatigue, coughed twice and quickly whispered words of comfort.

"Try to understand. Sea Mist City's trade routes now cover most of the ninja world, and the Sea Mist Merchant Guild, which was established last year, covers all kinds of goods."

"Given its geographical location and environment, the Snow Country is a country that is extremely dependent on foreign trade and imports. With such a small trade volume, the Snow Country's economy can be affected by a mere flick of the wrist from Sea Mist City."

"Ahem~ How dare they offend ninjas from Kirigakure?"

Perhaps because he spoke in a hurry, Moonlight Gale coughed again.

However, Ibiki Morino was already used to his teammate's sickly appearance and continued to complain relentlessly.

"You really think these noble lords care about the people's livelihood? They actually lift a finger? I bet they're just after the profits leaking from the Sea Fog Merchant Guild's fingers!"

"Hush, silence!"

Uchiha Shisui, who originally didn't want to get involved in his two teammates' complaints, quickly stopped Morino Ibiki's grumbling after hearing this.

Although they are from Konoha, they are not afraid of offending a small country like the Land of Snow.

But this kind of thing has nothing to do with those Chunin, and there's no need for them to annoy people for no reason.

Moreover, Uchiha Shisui himself was not particularly competitive. Although they were both ninjas in the same adjustment force, they came from different ninja villages.

However, the peacekeeping and mediation forces are managed in a military manner. Everyone eats, lives, and trains together. They see each other all the time, so there is no need to care about such superficial things.

Moreover, Uchiha Shisui, who was more observant, could see it.

Although the nobles of the Land of Snow were outwardly very polite to the three Chunin from Kirigakure, they clearly valued Yukiho, who came from the Yuki clan, more.

Of course, this wasn't because the Chunin named Yukiho had any influence; these people were more afraid of the young Mizukage behind the Yuki clan.

Information that came from within the Uchiha clan a while ago.

A month ago, the Mizukage personally traveled to the small southern country of Kuma to meet with the Daimyo and discuss cooperation.

Unexpectedly, at the very meeting place, the ninjas from the Star Village of the Bear Country, for some unknown reason, launched a large-scale attack under the cover of the Daimyo's guards, intending to assassinate the Mizukage.

Before they could even reach the Mizukage, they were instantly killed by him.

The area within a radius of dozens of miles was leveled by the huge iceberg that fell from the sky.

Nearly a hundred ninjas who participated in the attack, hundreds of daimyo guards, and even the daimyo and the officials who accompanied him were all killed on the spot.

It is said that the iceberg that is stuck upside down in the earth still stands outside the capital of the Bear Kingdom, and merchants passing by have to carefully detour around it.

"This is a ninja killing a daimyo! And doing it openly and honestly! How could the nobles of these small countries not be afraid?"

Uchiha Shisui heard that afterwards, the Mizukage was only slightly criticized by the Daimyo of the Land of Water, and no written statement was even issued.

In the ninja world, accurate information only circulates among the high-ranking members of various major forces; rumors are suppressed as much as possible below them.

If Shisui hadn't been born into the Uchiha clan, he probably wouldn't have known the specific details.

So even though he knew that the Snow Clan was not actually the main family of the Mizukage, it was perfectly normal for those nobles who didn't know the situation not to dare to offend them.
