Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

The Kirigakure who were still cleaning up the battlefield basically noticed the violent explosion coming from afar.

Moreover, the huge pit created by the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki detonating the Tailed Beast Ball in the front-line camp was still in front of everyone, so naturally they knew what was happening.

Many people looked in the direction of the explosion in surprise.

Only the Third Mizukage, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed and receiving treatment from Jianchuan Tachibana, seemed indifferent to the sudden explosion.

Only Jianchuan Ju, who was closest to him, could vaguely hear the calm voice of the Third Mizukage.

"Did a fight start?"

Jianchuan Ju was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted to what the Third Mizukage said. He looked in the direction of the explosion and replied subconsciously.

"It seems like a fight has broken out."

However, the Third Mizukage showed no reaction, so Jianchuan Tachibana had no choice but to continue the treatment.

But my mind was still thinking about the explosion just now.

"Is it possible that they are fighting with Konoha? There is probably no one else so close."

"But judging by the power of the explosion, it might be a fully-powered Tailed Beast Ball. Apart from Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God, it seems that no one in Konoha can withstand this kind of attack head-on."

'These bastards better have their brains beaten out.'

Jianchuan Ju himself did not notice that after such a long period of assimilation, his thinking was getting closer and closer to the Kirigakure side.

The Third Mizukage opened his narrowed eyes slightly, looked at the little devil who dared to be distracted while treating him, and coughed lightly twice.

"Orange boy, focus on healing!"

Jianchuan Ju broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly gathered his mind in embarrassment, trying to practice the Palm Immortal Technique with all his strength.

By the time the surrounding ninjas had cleaned up the battlefield one after another, Jianchuan Tachibana had almost stabilized the Third Mizukage's injuries temporarily. At least, except for being unable to fight for a short period of time, he could move normally.

At this time, many senior ninjas had already gathered there, and Jianchuan Ju noticed that Kurishan Kushimaru, who had appeared before, was missing an arm. His left arm disappeared at the elbow, and was wrapped in bandages all the way up to the shoulder.

Just looking at the bandage marks on his body, it didn't look like he had just been injured and treated, and the other people around him didn't seem surprised at all.

"Did he get injured two days ago? I was only on this mission for five or six days. How many things happened? Why does it feel like I was out for months?"

Seeing that Jianchuan Ju stopped his hand movements, the Third Mizukage also sat up. Although many of the Third Mizukage's injuries were only simply treated by Jianchuan Ju, which could not be considered a complete treatment, he concealed them very well.

Only Jianchuan Ju knew what kind of pain this old man was enduring beneath his calm appearance.

Grabbing a clean coat and putting it on, the Third Mizukage looked around at the Mist Ninjas around him, almost all of whom were injured, and spoke slowly.

"What are the casualties?"

The ninjas around were all of Jonin strength, and the Blood Mist Ninjas were usually more arrogant than each other, but at this moment, facing this old man who had lost his fighting ability, they all lowered their heads. No one, including Karutagi Yagura, answered.

After the low pressure lasted for a while, the Third Mizukage continued to speak.

"Send sensory ninjas and reconnaissance teams to guard the area around Whirlpool Island."

"Kurihan Kushimaru, arrange two teams of Anbu to take a look at the battlefield over there. Just keep a distance and observe."

The Third Mizukage then looked in the direction of the former front-line camp, which had turned into a huge pit.

"The rest of you should set up a temporary camp first." "What are you still standing there for?"

"Yes!"xN

Several senior ninjas with positions immediately dispersed to arrange their work. Even Qing, the leader of the perception squad, did not fall behind and went to cooperate in organizing the defense mission.

Jianchuan Ju found the right opportunity and trotted over to Chunyu, asking in a low voice about what had happened in the past few days.

According to the description of Chunyu.

Four days ago, it was not long since Jianchuan Ju left to carry out a mission.

The frontline camp of the Hidden Mist Village has just begun to move towards the territory of the Land of Fire.

As Konoha continued to shrink, the Hidden Mist Village's new front-line camp went directly deep into the inland of the Fire Country, and at the same time prepared to build a ground catapult for the Aerial Ninja Unit in the new camp.

However, the camp was only half built when it came under a fierce attack from the Hidden Cloud Village.

That’s right, the ones who attacked the Hidden Mist Village were not Konoha, whose territory was occupied, but the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village who were also fighting against Konoha.

The front line also learned later that on the same day, the Hidden Cloud Village sneaked into the Land of Water and attacked the Hidden Mist Village.

On the front line, a large number of ninjas were dispatched from the Hidden Cloud Village, led by the Third Raikage, who directly destroyed the unfinished Hidden Mist camp and also destroyed the ground catapult device that was being built, forcing Karuta Yagura to lead his team back to Whirlpool Island.

As for the local area of ​​the Hidden Mist Village.

In Harusame's words, 'These bastards from Kumogakure are too insidious and cunning.'

The Hidden Cloud Village temporarily sealed the Two-Tails in the body of an unknown ninja and sneaked into the Hidden Mist Village.

The Two-Tails then broke out of the seal near the Mizukage Building, causing quite a commotion. This gave the AB team the opportunity to break through the village's outer defenses and launch a second attack.

The two tailed beasts were wreaking havoc at the same time, especially one of them was a perfect jinchūriki with rich combat experience, causing considerable casualties to the Hidden Mist Village.

Fortunately, the Third Mizukage was very powerful, and with the help of a large number of reserve troops and ninja families, they were able to finally repel the attackers.

Jianchuan Ju couldn't help but worry when he heard this and clenched his fists tightly.

There are many people he cares about in the village, including Aunt Huizi, Old Man Shimotsuki, Xiao Yugao, and the bosses who often carry out tasks for him.

However, Jianchuan Ju also knew that Chunyu did not know these people and could not find out about their safety from him.

"Damn it! Those bastards from Kumogakure! You better hope they're okay!!"

Jianchuan Ju wanted to fly back to the Hidden Mist Village immediately at this moment, but he also knew that his broken "Resurrection Prayer" could only revive people who died within 24 hours. Now four days had passed, and even if something really happened, it would be useless for him to rush back.

I had to grit my teeth and continue listening to Chunyu's information.

During the attack that day, after the Third Mizukage repelled the enemy, he wanted to take advantage of the situation to capture the ownerless Two-Tails and seal it, so that the Hidden Cloud Village would suffer a loss.

However, the Four-Hai used a strange ninja tool to seal the Two-Tails again.

The Third Mizukage simply led his team in pursuit, and finally caught up with the Third Raikage's second attack on the front-line Whirlpool Island camp.

Jianchuan Ju also knew what happened afterwards.

The battle lasted for two days and two nights, completely destroying the entire front-line camp of Kirigakure and causing countless casualties.

"Are these bastards from Kumogakure crazy?!!"

It's another day at three o'clock in the morning, come and praise me.

Chapter 223: I am the fourth generation?

The information Jianchuan Ju obtained from Haruyu naturally made him unclear about the plans between Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

However, there is not enough information for him to make further analysis.

Jianchuan Ju looked around and saw that most of the Kirigakure ninjas in good condition were faithfully carrying out the task of rebuilding the camp.

But the depressing and dull atmosphere still enveloped everyone and lingered.

The previous six-month-long strong suppression of Konoha by the Hidden Mist Village had caused the morale of these Blood Mist Ninjas to reach an unprecedented high.

As a result, they were hit hard by the Kumogakure side twice in a row.

Even when the Third Mizukage took action, he could only barely repel the enemy. Coupled with the death of a large number of companions, even in the atmosphere of Kirigakure, which was relatively indifferent to ninjas from the same village, it was inevitable that some emotions of grief spread among the ninjas.

Jianchuan Ju, who had just learned about the situation in the village, was a little anxious and confused at the moment. While he was observing the surrounding situation, an Anbu appeared beside him instantly.

"Jōnin Jianchuan, the Third-Hero invites you."

"Oh well."

Walking into a stone house temporarily built by earth escape, Jianchuan Ju saw the Third Mizukage applying medicine to him, and hurriedly stepped forward to take over, not forgetting to ask.

"Third generation, you are looking for me?"

The Third Mizukage did not stop Jianchuan Ju's actions. He put down the bandage in his hand and looked at Jianchuan Ju.

Just when Jianchuan Ju was feeling a little nervous from being stared at.

The Third Mizukage finally spoke, but his words made Jianchuan Tachibana's hands tremble, and he almost spilled the medicine in his hand.

"Tachibana boy, who do you think is suitable to be the Fourth Mizukage?"

"Cough cough cough~"

Jianchuan Ju coughed several times before he came to his senses and looked at the Third Mizukage with a strange expression.

"Sir, I am still a child."

Faced with this kind of question, Jianchuan Ju had no choice but to bring up his age in an attempt to get away with it.

However, the Third Mizukage seemed a little unwilling to give in and continued speaking.

"It's okay, just say whatever you want."

Although the Third Mizukage was just talking casually, Jianchuan Ju didn't think that he was really asking casually. His hands kept moving and his brain was working fast.

"Could it be that because Karutagi Yagura failed to hold back the Fourth-Kage Ai just now, the Third-Kage Mizukage had some idea?"

Although Jianchuan Ju did not see the scene where Karajima Yagura missed the Fourth Hokage Ai for the first time, causing the Third Hokage Mizukage to be injured, Jianchuan Ju still noticed that the Fourth Hokage Ai rushed over the second time and Karajima Yagura was late.

Combined with the injuries on the Third Mizukage's body and the look on his face when he looked at Karatachi Yagura for the last time, we can guess roughly what happened.

Although it is unclear whether Karuta Yagura really failed to stop the super-fast Fourth Generation Ai or he intentionally let him go, the consequences are real after all.

"But is it just because of this reason? The Third Mizukage shouldn't be such an arbitrary person, right?"

"Or is it because of the failure on the front line this time that someone needs to take the blame? Or is it because of the stance of the Yagura civilian faction?"

The main reason was that Jianchuan Ju had not had much contact with the Third Mizukage, and had not paid attention to this aspect before. He had no idea what the other party was thinking at all. He didn't even know why the Third Mizukage would ask him such a question.

But now that the question has been asked to him, and after some thought he has not come to any conclusion, Jianchuan Ju can only continue to give a vague answer.

"Um, Sandaime-sama, hasn't the village always selected Kage based on strength? It doesn't matter what I think."

"You also think that Karatachi Yagura should be the fourth generation, right?"

The Third Mizukage obviously did not give Jianchuan Tachibana any chance to fool him and directly pointed out Karatachi Yagura.

Jianchuan Ju's mind was roaring wildly.

'I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!'

"Besides! In the original story, Yagura Karatachi is the fourth generation, so I am right to think so!"

Jianchuan Ju naturally didn't dare to say what was in his heart, he could only smile awkwardly and pretend to be dumbfounded. "Well, Lord Kuju Yagura is indeed very powerful."

Just when Jianchuan Ju thought that the Third Mizukage would continue to question and was about to start thinking about finding an excuse to slip away.

Unexpectedly, the Third Mizukage changed the subject and asked a question that made it even more difficult for Jianchuan Ju to answer.

"Have you ever thought about becoming the Three-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"Huh? Me?"

Jianchuan Ju finally couldn't help it this time and pointed his finger at himself.

"Yes, have you considered it? You have also met Yugao, so you should have a good understanding of Jinchūriki."

"But shouldn't the Jinchūriki be sealed inside of the body from a young age?"

As soon as Jianchuan Ju said this, he realized that he had made a fool of himself.

In the original work, neither Yagura Karuta nor Rin Nohara had the tailed beasts sealed in their bodies since childhood. It seems that apart from Konoha's Uzumaki Mizuki, these two are the only ones like this, and they probably don't have any special physiques.

As expected, the Third Mizukage began to explain.

"The Three-Tails is different. The Jinchuriki chooses children because children's bodies are in the development stage, making it easier to integrate with the sealing technique, and the tailed beast will be more stable."

"But Sanwei's personality, huh."

At this point, the Third Mizukage didn't know how to comment, and Jianchuan Tachibana immediately took over.

"More easy-going?"

"That's about right. So you want to try it?"

Jianchuan Ju felt ashamed when he heard this.

"Isn't it that the old man, the Third Hokage, wants me to be the Fourth Mizukage? But I'm not even twelve years old!"

Having stayed in the Hidden Mist Village for such a long time, Jianchuan Ju actually had no aversion to becoming a Mizukage. However, at his age now, becoming a Jonin and the captain of the air force was already an exceptional promotion.

If it was about Mirai and Mei Terumi competing for the position of Fifth Mizukage, Jianchuan Tachibana didn't think it was a big deal.
