Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 604 Prelude

A white Zetsu figure quietly emerged from Minato Namikaze's messy hair and shouted loudly at Obito Uchiha, who was sitting alone on the Hokage Rock, pretending to be deep in thought.

"We found the demon! That old bastard tried to escape, but he was easily sealed away by the seal we left there, sob sob sob."

Seeing that the Igarashi had just appeared and was shouting loudly, Black Zetsu, who was a step slower, quickly appeared and pressed it back into the ground.

Seeing Obito Uchiha's cold, unwavering gaze, Black Zetsu adjusted his posture slightly before continuing in a low voice.

"Obito, Moryo's new body has been arranged."

Obito Uchiha simply nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Although the demons are an important part of his final plan, they are only relative to "ordinary combat forces" like Hiruko and Kakuzu, and are not completely irreplaceable.

Therefore, Obito Uchiha did not show much joy at the return of Black Zetsu. He simply looked at Black Zetsu calmly and asked.

"Has the experimental subject Orochimaru mentioned been captured?"

Black Zetsu didn't speak upon hearing this, but instead reached down and pulled out the Igarashi man again.

And from its open belly, it pulled out a boy who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old and threw him in front of Obito.

Then, before the Igorus could continue its madness, it was pushed back down.

"That's it. I've already tested it, and it can indeed be used as a launch medium. However, it's still a bit inferior to Orochimaru's latest achievement."

Obito Uchiha looked at the unconscious boy in front of him and spoke calmly.

"That's enough. There's no need to keep probing Orochimaru."

Seeing that Obito Uchiha had already made his decision, Black Zetsu stopped trying to persuade him and instead asked a question.

"The Uchiha clan's plan has failed, Kakuzu and Hirukoya... Should we postpone our previous plan again?"

Before Black Zetsu could finish speaking, Obito Uchiha interrupted him.

"There's no need. Let's continue with the original plan. Even without the Uchiha, we won't have a better chance."

Obito Uchiha, who was already getting impatient with the wait, stepped forward without saying a word after stating his position and placed one hand on the unconscious boy.

Then, spiral-shaped spatial ripples quickly appeared.

Obito Uchiha and the unconscious boy disappeared together on the Hokage Rock.

Only after Obito Uchiha's figure completely disappeared did Igarashi, who felt the pressure on his head dissipate, re-emerge from the ground and complain to Black Zetsu with some disdain.

"I told you, this guy won't listen to reason. Hey, don't go! I haven't finished talking yet!"

Watching the Black Zetsu beside him quickly burrow into the ground and disappear, the Igarashi man helplessly scratched his butt and slowly sank into the soil as well.

"Seriously, you guys aren't even as good as Tachibana!"

With the departure of Obito Uchiha and his group, the turmoil in Konoha gradually came to an end.

Ultimately, having lost most of its high-end combat power, even a completely suicidal "rebellion" could not escape the encirclement and suppression of a massive number of Konoha ninja.

Before Minato Namikaze, the Hokage who had gone out, could return to the village, the last Uchiha who had participated in the rebellion had already fallen into a pool of blood.

Only the ordinary Uchiha clan members who were not ninjas remained. After being controlled, they either cursed angrily or were bewildered.

We await the final judgment upon the return of Hokage Minato Namikaze.

Apart from that, the ninja world seems to have returned to peace.

However, the undercurrents beneath this calm seem to be more turbulent and hidden than ever before.

"No? Why don't you put in the effort? Why don't you hide somewhere and spray from a distance?"

"How can you use a water gun so poorly?!"

In the training field, looking at that little turtle who couldn't even manage to spray water properly, Jianchuan Ju scolded him with a look of disappointment.

The already timid water turtle was so frightened that it rolled over repeatedly and fled behind Saigyouji Kabuto.

"Jenny! (っQдQ)っ"

The orange-red, shell-less turtle that had been sparring with the water turtle nearby immediately hugged its belly and rolled around on the ground happily when it saw its opponent's timid appearance.

「Wow~woo~~ヘ(￣︶￣ヘ)」

His unrestrained mockery made him look exactly like an arrogant, orange-red milk dragon.

However, before it could be arrogant for long, a bright green vine suddenly stretched out from the distance and instantly bound the little dragon tightly.

As the vines slowly retracted, the little dragon was lifted upside down and carried to the stern-faced snake in the distance.

"Vine!~(-`д-)"

The little dragon, whose tail was pointed at by its older sister, immediately turned its arrogant smile into a fawning one. However, after a while, seeing that its older sister still had no intention of releasing the dragon, it quickly wilted.

Looking at the three little guys with different personalities, Jianchuan Ju sighed and sat down on the grass.

"Thankfully, Bluey had a normal frog's personality back then!"

Lanzi glanced at Xiaoji, who was excitedly flapping its wings, and let out a sigh that sounded like that of an old father.

After a period of testing and adaptation, and once it was confirmed that the three little guys were fully capable of interacting with the outside world, Jianchuan Ju no longer imposed too many restrictions on them, and the entire valley where the experimental base was located was left for them to play in.

Having already signed a summoning contract with Kabuto Saigyouji, Squirtle has gained the right to come and go freely.

As long as they don't leave the area of ​​Kirigakure, Tachibana Kenkawa is fully confident in ensuring the safety of the little ones.

As for Tachibana herself, she would also personally accompany the kids to exercise during her spare time, and take the opportunity to strengthen their bond.

However, compared to the once well-behaved and sensible Lanzai, among the three little ones, only Tengteng Snake, as the eldest sister, is a little more composed.

the other two

One is as timid as a mouse, the other is incredibly audacious.

It has practically become a living ancestor in the eyes of these researchers.

Fortunately, the two little ones are still young, and Jianchuan Ju believes that with proper care, things can still improve.

"Hmm!! If all else fails, we'll quickly find a contract partner for Charmander too! Then whoever's Pokémon it is can train it themselves!"

Watching the little thing that had just been loosened by the vines immediately clinging to its burning tail and creating 'light' everywhere, Tachibana Kenkawa thought viciously through gritted teeth.

But just then, a figure from the Anbu wearing a one-eyed mask quietly appeared beside Tachibana Kanagawa and bowed respectfully.

"Lord Jianchuan, the arrangements for the trip have been made, and it's about time to set off for the reshuffle of the maintenance and mediation forces."
