Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Moreover, the casualties caused by the arrival of Minato Namikaze alone were almost half of the losses suffered by Kirigakure in this battle.

However, this kind of curse from the enemy may be a kind of affirmation for Minato Namikaze.

"So, we are actually bait?"

Harpoon looked at Biwa Juzo with some disbelief.

However, Biwa Juzang just curled his lips in disdain and didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.

Jianchuan Ju thought about it and gave a brief explanation to the harpoon.

"Not really. It can only be said that this was a temporary response made by the village after receiving the intelligence."

"The village can't possibly risk the annihilation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen by setting up this kind of bait tactic."

Harpoon nodded, agreeing with Jianchuan Ju's statement.

"At least it turned out well."

Jianchuan Ju estimated that after this battle, the balance of the battlefield in Whirlpool Country would quickly tilt towards the Hidden Mist.

Not to mention the impact caused by Konoha's massive loss of military forces.

It is this flying unit.

If Konoha still doesn't have any effective solution, it will be enough for the Kirigakure ninjas to have an absolute advantage in the battle on the front line.

"A lot of those bastards from Konoha got away this time. We'll launch an attack on the village next time, haha." Biwa Juzang said with a sinister smile.

"That may not be the case. I guess Konoha will send reinforcements soon."

Harpoon is not as optimistic as Biwa Juzo.

However, as soon as these words came out, they were immediately met with the other party's glare.

In fact, Jianchuan Ju actually agrees with Biwa Juzang's opinion.

Konoha suffered such a heavy loss this time, so it was inevitable to send reinforcements. But how many troops could Konoha mobilize now?

The Iwagakure and Kumogakure villages are still fighting fiercely with Konoha.

Even if Konoha withdraws a large number of troops to deal with the sudden new type of troops from the Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Sand Village, which has already retreated back to the territory of the Wind Country, might have to repeat the same mistake again.

The armistice agreement between them has not yet been officially signed.

By then, no matter how hard Minato Namikaze worked, it would be impossible for him to appear on four battlefields at the same time.

"What if Konoha was destroyed like this? Would all those bad things happen later?"

Of course, Jianchuan Ju just thought so.

With the current strength of Konoha, even if the four major ninja villages block their doorstep, there may be a chance to turn the tables. Moreover, the four major ninja villages are not harmonious. If they really invade the territory of the Land of Fire, it is possible that the four villages will fight first.

Perhaps because of this experience of escaping together, Biwa Juzo basically did not put on airs as a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in front of the others.

Even Kurishan Kushimaru, who was carrying Kurochu Raiga on his back, although he spoke less, would occasionally join in the conversation.

There was no sign at all that he regarded Jianchuan Ju and the others as his subordinates.

The Kirigakure troops discussed the results of the battle intensely along the way and gradually arrived at the border coastline of the Land of Fire.

Looking at the four giant aircraft carriers, Jianchuan Ju was somewhat amazed at the background of the air ninjas.

The Hidden Mist Village might not be unable to build such a giant vehicle if they had the technology.

But it certainly cannot be built in a short time. We really have to thank the selfless donations of the Sky Ninjas for being able to put together such a powerful force.

After the entire army boarded the ship, four aircraft carriers and four small escort ships slowly sailed towards the Hidden Mist Village and the frontline camp of the Whirlpool Country.

"Lord Kurisai Kushimaru, are we going back to the village to report? Or do we have other plans?"

Inside the cabin, Jianchuan Ju was examining and treating Kurochu Raiga again while asking Kurisan Kushimaru who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

Kurishan Kushimaru didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

"That guy Gouju conveyed the order from the Third-generation Master. We will stay in the front-line camp and cooperate in the next battle."

"As for the subsequent appointments, we will have to wait until the complete mission report is sent back to the Hidden Mist Village before the Third-sama will make the decision."

Jianchuan Ju didn't stop his hands, but continued to ask questions with some confusion.

"We should stay at the front line? The village isn't so short of troops, right?"

Jianchuan Ju thought that since such a big thing had happened this time, they would definitely return to the village to report directly to the Third Mizukage.

I didn't expect that I would have to stay here now.

"We are the Seventh Generation. We are expected to have several major battles in the future. The Third Generation Master will definitely need us to contribute on the front lines."

Now Jianchuan Ju understood. Although Kurishan Kushimaru didn't say it out loud, Jianchuan Ju also understood.

High-end combat power is already scarce in the Hidden Mist Village, and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are barely enough to make up the numbers.

Now there are only three old ninja swordsmen left, including Kurishan Kushimaru. The Third Mizukage must still want them to help Karatachi Yagura share some of the pressure on the front line.

Even Hoshigaki and Kisame, who used the flatfish and kabutoki without permission, were probably temporarily acquiesced to by the village's top leaders as ninja sword users.

As for myself, it must be because I was dragged down by these people.

After Hanaya died, among these people, he was the only one who had nothing to do with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, so he might have been arranged together.

"I always feel like I'm a bit out of place. How about I play with Feimo first?"

"No, where is Feimo?"

Jianchuan Ju suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Kurishan Kushimaru.

"Master Kurisai Kushimaru, where is the Explosive Blade*Foam?"

Kurishan Kushimaru paused for a moment, but immediately relaxed and continued to lean against the wall, speaking with some helplessness.

"Once that idiot Muri Jinpachi dies, Bakuto* Feimo will definitely fall into Konoha's hands."

"As long as someone holds this thing, it cannot be summoned back. If it had been faster, it might have been sent back to Konoha. I guess the village won't be able to get this ninja sword back until this war is over."

"what??"

Jianchuan Ju was speechless.

"Can you get this back? You won't become the Six Ninja Swordsmen in the future, right?"

Chapter 185 New Appointment

It is already autumn and the weather is starting to get cooler.

Especially in a place like the Hidden Mist Village, which is shrouded in thick fog all year round, the climate seems particularly gloomy and cold.

In addition, as the Ninja World War continued for a long time, the number of people receiving various commissions and coming to the Hidden Mist Village to do business decreased significantly.

In broad daylight, there were few pedestrians on the street.

The whole village seems to have a more solemn atmosphere.

However, the Mizukage Building, as the absolute center of the Hidden Mist Village, is as busy as before and there haven't been many changes.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Enter."

The door to the Mizukage's office was pushed open, and an ANBU member quickly walked up to the desk of the Third Mizukage.

"Third-generation sir, battle report from the front line."

Upon hearing this, the Third Mizukage put down his work and took the battle report.

After opening it and reading it quickly, a long-lost smile appeared on the old face of the Third Mizukage.

Elder Yuanshi asked upon seeing this.

"good news?"

"Yes."

The Third Mizukage smiled and threw the scroll in his hand to the elder Yuanshi. The expression on his face was good and could be seen with the naked eye. He also spoke.

"That Yagura kid did a good job this time."

Upon hearing this, the Yuanshi elder also knew that the flying unit's first battle was probably very effective, otherwise the usually calm Third Mizukage would not have started praising Karatachi Yagura before he had even finished reading the intelligence.

Then Elder Yuanshi quickly glanced through the scroll and also smiled.

"I'm afraid Konoha will have a hard time this time."

The Third Mizukage nodded slightly.

"The flying corps played a very useful role this time. Inform the equipment department to connect with Daimyo as soon as possible. The aircraft carrier cannot be rushed, but the gliders must be produced as soon as possible and sent to the front line as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

After Elder Yuanshi finished speaking, he paused for a moment and spoke with a sigh.

"It's a pity that we were unable to defeat Tsunade this time, and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were also..."

The Third Mizukage's expression calmed down a bit after hearing this, but he still made arrangements.

"The double swords *Akira and the blunt sword *Doukiri will be held by Hoshigaki Kisame and Isaburo first, and they will temporarily fill the position of ninja sword users. The large sword *Samehada will also be selected as a suitable successor from among the active jonin as soon as possible."

"As for the Bakuto* spray, humph, Konoha will spit it out sooner or later."

"What are their identities as members of the Anbu?" Elder Yuanshi added.

"For now, the two will retain their status as ANBU and will be under the direct jurisdiction of the front-line command center. Hoshigaki Kisame will be promoted to Jonin."

Having said that, the Third Mizukage seemed to remember something. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers, put a smile on his face again, and looked at the elder Yuanshi.

"Oh, and there's that medical guy. Haha, this time both Yagura and Kurisai Kushimaru mentioned him prominently in the information they sent back."

"Indeed, that boy Ju has performed well this time. I was thinking of transferring him to the flying unit to gain some experience after he returns. Now it seems that this is a bit of a waste of his talent."

In fact, when the village had just formed a flying unit, Elder Yuanshi had specifically looked for Jianchuan Ju, wanting to find out whether his flying ability could be promoted.

After all, if it is a ninjutsu, even if it is difficult to learn, as long as a few flying unit commanders master this ninjutsu, the overall strength can be greatly improved.

Of course, the Hidden Mist Village has not yet reached the point where it can seize the ninjutsu of the ninjas in the village by force, so there must be an exchange of interests.

It's a pity that Jianchuan Ju's "Wings of the Wind" is not a ninjutsu at all, but a characteristic.

Perhaps in the future Jianchuan Ju might be able to study the principles of the 'Wings of the Gale' and transform it into a ninjutsu to teach others, but it is obviously not possible now.

After demonstrating it, the elder Yuanshi attributed this ability to a bloodline limit ability that this kid had developed by arbitrarily developing ninjutsu. It was too random and not universal.

Jianchuan Ju didn't know about the flying unit at that time, so he didn't take it seriously.

Of course, what the Yuanshi elder said now that Jianchuan Ju was not suitable for the flying unit was not because of this reason, but because of the strong medical ability that Jianchuan Ju showed in this mission.

"The several medical ninjutsu used by Tachibana during this mission were all excellent, and I guess these were new ninjutsu that the boy researched himself."

Upon hearing this, the Third Mizukage also agreed with what the elder Yuanshi said.

"Well, judging from Kurisai Kushimaru's description, it could be one or two S-rank medical ninjutsu."

Having said this, the Third Mizukage and the Elder Yuanshi fell silent at the same time.

You have to know that Jianchuan Tachibana is only eleven years old now. Other ninjas at this age may still be just Genin who are scratching their heads and struggling to learn a C-level ninjutsu.

This kid is actually able to independently develop his own S-level ninjutsu.

"The young are really formidable." Elder Yuanshi couldn't help but sigh.

Considering his age, it can be said that he has witnessed countless geniuses.

It can even be said that among those who can become jonin, which one of them is not a genius?

However, Elder Yuanshi had never seen someone like Jianchuan Ju before in his life.

The Third Mizukage was actually the one who least wanted to admit that "the young are to be feared", but in the end he still nodded, agreeing with what the elder Yuanshi said.

"Master Yuan, how is the plan for the reorganization of the medical department and the integration of medical ninjas into management that I mentioned to you earlier going?"

After the Third Mizukage asked this, the Yuanshi elder's face fell.

"Sir, let's postpone the reorganization of the medical department. The two existing batches of medical ninjas have all been assigned to various teams. Rearranging the direct changes during the war will also cause unnecessary chaos."

"Besides, the main medical personnel on the front line are still those in the hospital. Saigyouji is managing it pretty well, so there is no need to make major adjustments for the time being."

In fact, what the Third Mizukage wanted to say was that the level of Jianchuan Tachibana's medical ninjutsu was already so high that it was a little incomprehensible.
