Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

But the Fourth Mizukage?

Perhaps it was because he had just taken office that various warlords in the Hidden Mist Village rose up immediately, and rebellious ninjas and assassinations followed one after another.

It's totally unconvincing!

You should know that the youngest Kage in the original work, Gaara, became the Kazekage at the age of sixteen. Even then, there was still a lack of young people in the Sand Village, and it seemed that there were still a lot of voices of opposition.

As the commander of the front line, Yagura Kuji had a high reputation in the village. Besides, even if he had the support of the Three-Tails' chakra, it was still unclear whether he could defeat Yagura Kuji.

The most important thing is that he has too many secrets. Jianchuan Ju has no interest in having a three-tailed beast in his body that can share his vision.

Tachibana Jianchuan wasn't even very interested in becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, let alone the Three-Tails.

This kind of power that does not belong to you will always make you feel uneasy when you use it.

"Well, plug-ins don't count. Plug-ins don't have independent consciousness. It's my own power!"

Jianchuan Ju also made a very hypocritical excuse for his own plug-in.

"Sama Sandaime, would you like to reconsider this matter? I feel that I still have room for improvement. It would be a bit of a waste of my combat power to let me be the Three-Tails Jinchuriki."

Jianchuan Ju scratched his head in embarrassment, racking his brains to come up with such a lame excuse.

However, the Third Mizukage seemed to be just asking casually. After his gaze stayed on Jianchuan Tachibana for a moment, he saw that he really didn't seem to have any ideas and didn't continue the topic.

Afterwards, in this awkward atmosphere, Jianchuan Ju quickly bandaged and applied medicine to the Third Mizukage and then hurriedly said goodbye and left.

The Third Mizukage looked at Jianchuan Tachibana's fleeing back and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

"It's like I'm going to hurt him."

Chapter 224 Removal

Although I rested for a night.

However, the questions raised by the Third Mizukage yesterday still made Jianchuan Ju unable to sleep well.

As a result, Jianchuan Ju looked a little listless after getting up early in the morning.

Until now, I am still thinking about the Third Mizukage and asking myself what the purpose of all this was.

However, thanks to these confused thoughts, Jianchuan Ju's worries and anxieties about his relatives and friends in the village were slightly alleviated.

"Isn't it that the old man feels that he still has ten years to live and wants to train me from now on?"

Jianchuan Ju, who was washing up, began to have uncontrollable wild thoughts again.

"It's not impossible. The original novel doesn't say how the Third Mizukage abdicated. Besides, the plot is a mess now. Maybe he can stay in power for a few more years?"

"Hey, then should I be the Water Shadow? Or not?"

Just as Jianchuan Ju was thinking like this, there was a knock on the door.

"Captain Jianchuan, the Sandaime has called a meeting of the Jonins!"

"okay, got it."

Jianchuan Ju quickly changed his clothes and walked out of the cabin.

That’s right, Jianchuan Ju was resting in his own ship No. 2 last night.

Previously, in order to support the battlefield as quickly as possible, and also because they were afraid that the aircraft carrier, which had no offensive or defensive capabilities, would be accidentally damaged and destroyed if it approached the battlefield, all the combat ninjas on the second ship abandoned the ship and rushed to the battlefield of Whirlpool Island.

The No. 2 ship was naturally abandoned at sea. After the battle, it would definitely have to be brought over by ship, so Jianchuan Ju simply stayed on the No. 2 ship.

Compared with those ninjas who could only spend the night in temporary camps, Jianchuan Ju and his men were probably the ones who had the best resting environment last night.

But he was indeed frightened by the old man, the Third Mizukage. Even though the rest environment was very good, Jianchuan Tachibana, who walked onto the deck at this moment, still had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, which even scared Hoshigaki Kisame who was preparing to go to the meeting with him.

"Doctor Ju, are you okay?"

"Well, I didn't get enough rest after the battle yesterday, but it's nothing serious."

Seeing that Hoshigaki Kisame cared about him, Jianchuan Tachibana couldn't tell the truth and could only gloss over it.

Last night, Qing was responsible for arranging the sensory ninjas for alert, so he could only stay in the temporary camp. Although Hoshigaki Kisame was one of the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he did not have any actual duties, but he was able to return to the second ship with Jianchuan Tachibana to have a good rest for the night.

The Third Mizukage called a meeting, and the two of them didn't want to delay too much, so they jumped off the boat without saying a few words and quickly rushed to the temporary camp.

Looking at the huge, crude stone house in front of him formed by the earth-style ninjutsu, Jianchuan Ju couldn't help but curl his lips.

"As expected, infrastructure construction still depends on Yamato!"

When they walked into the stone house with Hoshigaki Kisame, Jianchuan Tachibana realized that they seemed to be the last to arrive, so they hurried forward and stood still.

The Third Mizukage, who was sitting on the only chair in the room, glanced at everyone and then coughed lightly to signal the start of the meeting.

However, what no one expected was that there was no discussion at all about the results of the meeting, and the Third Mizukage gave orders directly as soon as he opened his mouth.

And the first order dropped everyone's jaw.

"All wounded on the front line will return to the village to rest with the supply ship tomorrow."

"Sir Sandai, you mean all the wounded?"

Someone immediately asked in surprise and doubt, but was met with a cold look from the Third Mizukage.

But this still couldn't stop the whispers in the stone house.

You know, although for ninjas, the so-called wounded certainly do not include those who have broken skin or cuts. But even so, there are only a few hundred people left on the front line.

With such a number of people, it can only be regarded as a larger outpost, let alone a front-line camp. Logically speaking, even those with moderate or even severe injuries, as long as they are not disabled or permanently incapacitated, should be kept in the camp for treatment so that they can return to the battlefield as soon as possible.

Is the Third Mizukage ready to give up this war just like that?

Just when everyone was thinking this, the Third Mizukage's next words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"The remaining personnel on the front line will hold on to the camp and wait for follow-up reinforcements."

Seeing that the other people around him had regained their spirits and looked eager to try, Jianchuan Ju had different ideas.

"The Third Mizukage didn't say how many troops he would add, and he wanted to defend the camp? If he didn't want to start negotiations to stop the fighting, could a few hundred people really hold the camp?"

Jianchuan Ju carefully looked at the Third Mizukage's expression, but unfortunately he had no idea what the other person was thinking.

As a result, the Third Mizukage dropped another bombshell.

"Karotachi Yagura has resigned from his post as the frontline commander and will return to the village to continue his duties as the leader of the jonin squad."

There was an uproar in the audience, and even Karuta Yagura himself was apparently not aware of this news in advance.

Karuju Yagura asked in a somewhat dry voice.

"Third generation, I..."

However, before Karatachi Yagura could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Third Mizukage.

"There won't be any fighting on the front line in the near future. Instead, the village needs your strength more. To prevent it from being attacked again!"

The Third Mizukage even put emphasis on the word "attack". For some reason, Karutagi Yagura looked pale and retreated without saying a word.

The discussions of the others gradually died down, and they looked at the Third Mizukage and Yagura Karuta. However, since Yagura Karuta himself no longer opposed the order, it was not easy for others to say anything more.

"As for the work of the temporary commander on the front line."

The Third Mizukage paused here and scanned everyone.

When he swept past Jianchuan Tachibana, he was almost scared to the point of shrinking behind Hoshigaki Kisame.

Fortunately, her eyes did not linger on him.

Finally, the Third Mizukage's gaze slowly stopped on Harusame and Ao.

"The job of temporary commander on the front line will be taken over by the Ao Jonin. Harusame, you will be in charge of assisting."

"Yes!" x2

The two men immediately stepped forward to receive the order.

Perhaps because the previous two pieces of news were too explosive, the rest of the people did not react much this time.

After all, there will only be a few hundred people left in the front-line camp, and Qing and Chunyu, one is the squad leader of the perception class and the other is the director of the air department, were originally high-level officials in the front-line camp.

Now that Gotachibana Yagura has been transferred to the village, and Kurishan Kushimaru has a broken arm and is injured, they probably need to return to the village to rest. It is normal for Qing and Harusame to temporarily manage these hundreds of people.

What surprised everyone was that Qing Lai was the commander, and Chun Yu, who had been active on the front line, was his deputy.

"Could it be that Haruyu offended the Sandaime in some way?"

This idea has popped up in many people's minds.

However, Qing, who had taken over the position of front-line commander, did not look happy.

This position is not a good one nowadays.

"Hold on?"

After Qing retreated, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Chapter 225 Huh?

The next morning.

Yesterday's meeting lasted the whole morning.

Later, Kurisan Kushimaru also reported the results of the battle between Kumogakure and Konoha on the coastline of the Land of Fire that he had observed.

Just as Jianchuan Ju expected, the Cloud Village side still broke through Konoha's interception.

At the last moment, the Third Raikage, who was knocked away by the Third Mizukage, also arrived in time.

He single-handedly stopped most of Konoha's troops and withdrew calmly.

Jianchuan Ju had to sigh again that the Third Raikage, who had reached top levels in speed, strength, and defense, was indeed an almost unstoppable existence in that time period.

However, after the battle, neither side had the intention of landing on Whirlpool Island to defeat the defeated enemy, which made the remnants of the defeated soldiers in the Kirigakure frontline camp feel a little relieved.

As for the subsequent tedious arrangements of personnel and materials, Jianchuan Ju was just a bystander and did not have any sense of actual participation.

However, after the meeting, Jianchuan Ju received good news.

Originally Jianchuan Ju thought that as the captain of the air force division, he was not a wounded soldier, and as the person in charge of the only intact air force warship after the air force's No. 1 and No. 4 ships were destroyed and the No. 3 ship returned for overhaul, he might be left in the front-line camp to assist in the defense.

However, unexpectedly, because Yunyin did not have any effective air strike force and the air force had a relatively complete staffing.

Jianchuan Tachibana was actually arranged by the Sandaime Mizukage to lead the members of the Second Squad of the Air Force to return to the Hidden Mist Village as a guard to accompany the wounded.

As for the intact No. 2 ship, it was temporarily taken over by the Minister of the Air Force Chun Yu, who led the remaining members of the Air Force to continue to stay in the front-line camp.

Although unlike the other resting personnel, according to the Third Mizukage's intention, after the overhaul of the third ship is completed, Jianchuan Tachibana and his subordinates will follow back to the front line again.

But for Jianchuan Tachibana, who was eager to return to the village to check on the situation of Keiko Saigyouji and others, this was undoubtedly the best result.

It's a pity that Mei Terumi and Zabuza, as Ao's bodyguards, and Hoshigaki Kisame, the only two ninja swordsmen who were not injured, were left at the front line and could not return together.

Looking at the three supply ships slowly approaching in the distance.

I guess no one could have imagined when these ships set out that they would be greeted by a whole ship full of injured soldiers returning?

"Orange boy, come here."

Jianchuan Ju, who was instructing his subordinates on precautions at the port, heard the Third Mizukage's voice calling out from behind.

Looking back, he saw the Third Mizukage walking towards him with a group of returning jonin.

After letting his subordinates disperse and stand guard, Jianchuan Tachibana quickly ran in front of the Third Mizukage.

"Third generation, you are looking for me?"

"Orange boy, come on board with me later."

"Hey, okay."

Jianchuan Ju looked at the Third Mizukage and Karuju Yagura who followed closely behind him with some embarrassment, fearing that the old guy would bring up topics like "becoming the Three-Tails Jinchuriki" or "who is suitable to inherit the Mizukage" again.

There were no accidents on the way back. If it weren't for the wounded people everywhere on the ship, there would not even be a sense that the Ninja World War was still in full swing.

Although the Third Mizukage expressed a little bit of affection towards Jianchuan Tachibana, that was all he did.

It was more like he had brought a doctor with him. Apart from the time when Jianchuan Ju was treating him and changing his dressings, the two of them didn't have much communication.

This made Jianchuan Ju feel a little relieved.

He didn't want to cause jealousy among other 'colleagues' because of the sudden favoritism of his 'superior'.
