Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Jianchuan Ju had just sat down on the bench outside the meeting room when he heard an angry roar coming from inside the door.

"Impossible! Whirlpool Island is the territory of the Uzumaki clan! And the only heir of the Uzumaki clan is now a ninja of Konoha!"

Jianchuan Ju hadn't even sat down when he was startled by the sound.

'Is the soundproofing in the conference room so poor?'

I subconsciously looked towards the door of the conference room, but I didn't expect that there was a gap in the door of this conference room where an important meeting was obviously taking place. No wonder the sound could be heard.

"Are you discussing peace talks? The village wants ownership of Whirlpool Island?"

Just as Jianchuan Ju was thinking this, a familiar voice came from inside the door.

"Since you are a ninja of Konoha, how can you be considered the heir of the Uzumaki clan?"

The one who spoke was Elder Yuanshi, but compared to the excited emotions of the Konoha envoy, Elder Yuanshi was obviously much calmer.

"And the ninja world doesn't seem to have a rule that the people of a destroyed nation still have the right to inherit the land."

At this time, a slightly younger voice spoke up to refute.

"There is no such rule in the ninja world, but as an ally of the Uzumaki clan for generations, Konohagakure is also obligated to protect the Uzumaki clan's territory."

Upon hearing the reasons of the young messenger from Konoha, the Third Mizukage sneered in disdain.

"Heh, allies? When the Whirlpool Country was destroyed, Konoha didn't help."

"that is because."

The young man wanted to speak again, but suddenly stopped.

Jianchuan Ju couldn't see what was going on inside, nor did he know whether his words were stopped by his own people.

Then, the old man who roared at the beginning spoke in a firm tone.

"No matter who Whirlpool Island belonged to before, Konoha will not recognize Kirigakure's ownership of Whirlpool Island. Even if they station troops there for a long time, Konoha will definitely strike back!"

The Third Mizukage responded with a hint of mockery.

"Hehe, Konoha will strike back? You seem to have forgotten Konoha's current situation, right? Does Konoha think that we, Kirigakure, are no longer able to join the battle?"

"Then give it a try!" After the Konoha old man finished speaking, there was a 'bang' sound, which should be the sound of someone angrily slamming the table.

When Jianchuan Ju heard these conversations, he began to be curious about the identity of the old man who was talking.

"Besides Danzo, is there anyone as tough as this in Konoha?"

Chapter 233 Air Force Deterrence

But Jianchuan Ju thought about it again and found that it was actually easy to understand.

Judging from the map, the location of Whirlpool Island is almost close to the mainland of the Fire Country.

If the ownership falls into the hands of Kirigakure, it would be like putting a cannon directly at the doorstep of Konoha.

Especially now that the Hidden Mist Village still has the trump card of the Sky Beam, during the war, Konoha's eastern front was always on guard but was bombed and forced to retreat frequently.

If this happened in peacetime, I'm afraid all the citizens of the Fire Nation who are within the flying range of the Sky Ninjas would have to dig air-raid shelters first before they could sleep peacefully.

If the technical level of the subsequent Akagi-bu equipment continues to improve and the flight range is extended to Konoha Village, even the Hokage will probably not be able to sleep well.

Neither side in the conference room showed any intention of giving in, so there was actually no need to continue the discussion.

The Third Mizukage said the last sentence.

"This is also what the Daimyo of the Land of Water meant. You should go back and think about it carefully."

Then there was the sound of a chair being moved.

Just when Jianchuan Ju was still thinking about whether he should avoid the situation as the two parties parted unhappily, the door of the conference room was pushed open with great force.

The person who went out did not seem to expect that there was a young kid sitting outside the meeting room.

After taking one foot out of the door, the old man was stunned at first, and then a hint of hatred appeared in his eyes.

Jianchuan Ju didn't care and looked at the two messengers from Konoha.

There is no need to identify the young man at the back carefully. With his flying pineapple hair, he is obviously a ninja from the Nara clan. However, Jianchuan Ju has never seen Nara Shikaku, and this man has no scars on his face, so he cannot be sure whether it is him.

It was the older one, with light brown hair, a beard, and black half-frame glasses on his face, who Jianchuan Ju recognized his identity at a glance.

"Mitomon En?"

"Why is this old man talking so harshly? Is he looking down on us Kirigakure?"

At this time, the Third Mizukage and the elder Yuanshi also walked out from the door. Seeing Mizuto Menen who was standing at the door in a daze and Jianchuan Tachibana who had just stood up opposite him, they introduced them with a smile.

"Let me introduce to Elder Mitomon, this is our young jonin from the Hidden Mist Village, Tachibana Kanegawa."

As he said this, he waved to Jianchuan Ju.

Jianchuan Ju naturally walked over obediently.

"Elder Mitomon, I have long heard of your great name."

"Konoha F4, I have heard of your great name for a long time!"

However, facing the harmless-looking Jianchuan Ju, Mitomon Yan's face turned dark and he replied with gritted teeth.

"The famous Wings of the Wind need no introduction from Your Excellency the Mizukage."

The Third Mizukage didn't seem to care about Mito Kado En's attitude at all, and patted Jianchuan Tachibana's shoulder and said.

"Tachibana boy, you've arrived just in time. From now on, you will be responsible for escorting Elder Mitomon and his party back to the Land of Fire."

After hearing this, Mizuto Menyan's face turned even more gloomy, and he just waved his sleeves and left without any grace.

And Jianchuan Ju was also slightly stunned.

"What? Didn't they come here on their own? Do they need an escort?"

As if he had seen through Jianchuan Ju's thoughts, and seeing that Mizuto Menyan had already walked away, the Third Mizukage waved his hand casually and said.

"Let's go, let's talk to you kid about your next arrangements."

Jianchuan Ju's brain was working rapidly as he followed the Third Mizukage into the Mizukage's office. Elder Yuanshi also followed him in with a smile on his face.

After sitting down at his desk, the Third Mizukage did not hesitate and continued the previous topic.

"How much did you hear about the meeting just now?"

"Is the door really left cracked on purpose?" Jianchuan Ju scratched his head awkwardly.

"I only heard about the ownership of Whirlpool Island."

"That's enough."

The Third Mizukage nodded, and Jianchuan Ju heard it, so he didn't have to explain it again.

"Taking over the Whirlpool Island is the common wish of the village and the daimyo. The daimyo needs a commercial port city close to the mainland and belonging to the Land of Water. And the village needs to deploy enough manpower on the Whirlpool Island so that it can be stationed at the front line to launch an attack at any time in the future if a war breaks out."

Jianchuan Ju also nodded in response to show his understanding.

'Business and military.'

Although these cannot be built directly within the Fire Nation, the Whirlpool Island is close enough to the Fire Nation's mainland. If it can be really controlled, it can even radiate to the surrounding cities and villages within the Fire Nation in the future.

"So, Sandaime-sama, what do you need me to do?"

Jianchuan Ju tilted his head, not sure what taking over Whirlpool Island had to do with him.

At this time, Elder Yuanshi took over the conversation and spoke on behalf of the Third Mizukage.

"You don't need to do anything, Juzi. Just send the Mitomon elder to the border of the Land of Fire and take the two members of the air force for a flight."

"After that, you will return directly to the camp on Whirlpool Island and take up station. This time, you must bring all the spare flight equipment and the trained reserve members of the Air Force with you."

"The village will notify Chun Yu to take over and organize several test flight trainings for members of the Aerial Department around the Fire Country during this period."

"Oh my goodness, a military exercise! Air force deterrence, I understand!"

Jianchuan Ju couldn't help but feel ashamed, those reserve members were usually responsible for logistics work on the Air Force's aircraft carriers. Not to mention their combat level, there would be no problem for them to fly out and scare people.

In addition, since the ground catapult device is not as complicated to manufacture as an aircraft carrier, it is entirely possible to build several more in the front-line camp on Whirlpool Island.

When the air force is deployed, there will be hundreds of people, and I guess everyone will be shocked when they see it.

just

"There don't seem to be many regular ninjas stationed on the front lines. Will this work?"

Jianchuan Ju asked cautiously.

After hearing this, the Third Mizukage waved his hand and said indifferently.

"I know Sarutobi Hiruzen's character. It's just a test flight. He won't force us into the battle unless the attack falls on Konoha."

Jianchuan Ju nodded after hearing this. If it was the 'hero ninja' before the Second Ninja World War, he might have forcibly sent people to raid the Whirlpool Island camp and drive the Hidden Mist Village out completely.

But what about the current 'Ninjutsu Doctor'?

It is estimated that they will only continue to increase investment in peace talks to prevent Konoha from continuing to be attacked from all sides.

"But Sarutobi Hiruzen is also a boy, and so am I. So I am directly promoted to a higher generation level, right?"

After understanding the situation, Jianchuan Ju felt relieved. In fact, he was not the key to this mission.

To be fair, Jianchuan Ju is far from being able to intimidate the enemy alone. Instead, the number of flying ninjas in the Air Force as a whole is the real bargaining chip at the negotiation table.

"Alright, Ju-ni. Mitomon En failed in this negotiation and should be returning to Konoha Village soon. Go back as soon as possible to arrange for manpower and equipment."

"Yes!"

After greeting the Third Mizukage and the elder master, Jianchuan Tachibana quickly left the Mizukage's office.

Jianchuan Ju thought as he stroked his chin on the way back to the Air Force Base.

"The commander on the front line is Mr. Qing now, so maybe it's possible."

Chapter 234: Obtaining Information

This mission is said to be an escort, but Jianchuan Ju feels that it is more like an escort.

Mitomon En was followed by the Sorabe ninjas at all times and had a gloomy face the whole time.

Jianchuan Ju heard from the elder Yuanshi that this old guy actually had the strength of a shadow. However, whether in the original work or in his performance in the past two days, Jianchuan Ju did not see it at all.

"Perhaps he is afraid of being too flamboyant and irritating us youngsters? Is this the restraint of the strong?"

Jianchuan Ju secretly complained about this in his heart.

As for the escort troops.

All members of the Second and Third Squadrons of the Air Force were dispatched, and they also brought along all the reserve members in the base who were proficient in hang gliding. They filled the No. 3 ship to the brim, and the ship's armory was almost filled to capacity with equipment.

As for the 'honorable' guests from Konoha, it would be impossible to allow them to travel on such a crowded aircraft carrier, as that would be disrespectful.

The Hidden Mist Village specially allocated another frigate to serve as the vehicle for the Konoha ninjas.

The result was that an aircraft carrier was sailing in the middle of the sea, with the frigate that originally belonged to the third ship on the left side responsible for guarding it, and another frigate carrying the Konoha ninjas on the right side.

From a distance, it is hard to tell who is protecting whom.

However, Jianchuan Ju did not follow the No. 3 ship.

Although Jianchuan Ju's current position in the Air Force Department is basically equivalent to that of the deputy minister, it was originally the vehicle of the Kaguya Rosso team, so Jianchuan Ju simply let him take command.

He brought a few ordinary air force members with him and accompanied the Konoha envoys on the frigate.

Looking at Mitomon En, who was now dressed completely differently from the previous meeting, fully armed, wearing a black suit, with two huge scrolls on his back and a small scroll hanging around his neck, he was standing alone on the edge of the deck.

Jianchuan Ju also had some ideas in mind and walked forward to start a conversation.

"Why are you dressed like this, Elder Mitomon? Are you afraid that we here at Kirigakure can't protect you well?"

Jianchuan Ju relied on his youth and deliberately put emphasis on the word "old man" when speaking.

After hearing this, Mizuto Menyan's face became even uglier. He quickly turned around and stared at Jianchuan Ju.

"This old man had this murderous look on his face when we first met. Does he have such a big hatred for me in Konoha?"

Jianchuan Ju couldn't help scratching his head. Although he led the team to bomb Konoha's eastern front for five or six months in a row, he was just following orders on the battlefield.

If anyone is to blame, it should be the village leaders. At the very least, it's Minister Chunyu's fault. Why does this old guy hate me so much?
