Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

"This is a serious situation. I might as well just defect."

Of course, that’s what Jianchuan Ju thought.

It's not the end of the road yet, and Jianchuan Tachibana already has too many ties in the Hidden Mist Village. It's impossible for him to abandon everything and run away without trying.

"We have to give it a try. We've already defeated the Fourth Raikage, so we should be able to defeat the Mizukage, right? Probably."

"But the most important thing now is to go to the front line and join up with Mr. Qing. With the Byakugan, we can confirm who is being controlled in the village, and at least distinguish between friends and foes."

Thinking of this, Jianchuan Ju walked to Chunyu and told him some of his guesses.

During this period, Jianchuan Ju did not avoid the other surviving Anbu, and everyone's faces turned very ugly after hearing it.

Chapter 272 Rebellious Ninja!

The shadow of a village, this term is a bit too heavy for ordinary ninjas.

Although many ninjas had arrogantly and ignorantly said things like "I want to become a shadow in the future" when they were young.

But when you grow up, you will understand that some achievements cannot be achieved just by thinking about it or working hard.

Now Jianchuan Ju actually suspected that such a shadow was being controlled by someone inexplicably?

Moreover, Jianchuan Ju couldn't reveal the source of information for many things, and could only express it vaguely with words like "guess" and "suspicion".

This also makes it even more difficult for people to believe such a thing.

"Everyone, at least the Kumogakure was waiting there in advance, the carrier of the 'Tailed Beast Zero' was replaced, and the Wood Release Ninja rushed out later, these strange things are indisputable facts."

"Please join me in investigating the truth."

Jianchuan Ju didn't really need these people to help, but under the current circumstances, it was not a good idea to let them leave the team and return directly to the Hidden Mist Village.

In the end, it was Chunyu who made the final decision. The six-man team was temporarily commanded by Jianchuan Ju until what Jianchuan Ju said was confirmed or refuted.

Although this was definitely because Jianchuan Ju had displayed his supernatural power in the battlefield just now and intercepted the people from Yunyin, thus saving the lives of everyone present in disguise.

However, Jianchuan Ju felt the weight of trust when he saw that the village was willing to disobey the orders based solely on his own words and some guesses.

After determining the target, Jianchuan Ju directly wrote down a short intelligence scroll and handed it to Lan Zai.

The main purpose was to arrange for Qing, who was still in the front-line camp, to come out for a meeting.

The situation in the village is not clear at the moment, so everyone plans to contact Qing secretly to avoid showing up directly in the front-line camp and exposing their whereabouts, which would then make it impossible to recover.

Fortunately, Jianchuan Ju left in a hurry before this mission, and Lan Zai's psychic scroll was still with Qing. He only needed to cancel the psychic technique to quickly deliver the message.

After a brief communication with Qing through spiritualism, everyone continued to speed up and rush towards the Whirlpool Island.

But perhaps because they were aware of the seriousness of the situation, everyone had a serious expression along the way and there was no unnecessary communication.

after one day.

The moon was bright and high in the sky. Unlike the bad weather in the Hidden Mist Village which was shrouded in fog all year round, the climate near Whirlpool Island was closer to that of the Land of Fire.

Even in the middle of the night, under the moonlight, Jianchuan Ju and others could still see the outline of the island from afar.

The group rowed the ice boat under the cover of night and arrived at a remote coast north of Whirlpool Island.

Maybe it was because of the not-so-nice memories of the last landing, but this time even when they arrived at their own front-line camp, everyone was still very vigilant.

Just as Jianchuan Ju and his companions jumped onto the shore, a figure dressed as an Anbu quickly came over from a distance and stood in front of them.

These people were so frightened that they immediately drew their weapons and became alert.

It was Jianchuan Ju who reacted first and spoke.

"Teacher Qing!?"

Qing nodded when he heard this and raised his hand to take off the mask on his face.

Jianchuan Ju noticed the veins at the corners of Qing's eyes that had just faded, and it was obvious that he had used his Byakugan before. He should have arrived nearby a long time ago, and used his Byakugan to observe in advance, determined the location of everyone, and rushed over directly.

Combined with Qing's concealing ANBU outfit, Jianchuan Ju immediately had some bad guesses.

"Teacher Qing, what are you doing?"

"We'll talk later, just follow me first!"

After saying that, Qing turned around and ran towards a low hill.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw this, but they still hurried to follow.

Jianchuan Ju thought about it, turned back and shattered the ice boat everyone was riding, and then chased after them. Qing didn't stop until everyone entered a cave under a low mountain, and turned back to cast a seal to engrave it at the entrance of the cave.

"This is?"

Chunyu looked at Qing's series of actions with some suspicion.

On the other hand, Jianchuan Ju, because of his guesses in his mind and his trust in Qing, did not say anything to stop the other party's actions.

"It's a temporary anti-perception barrier that I set up here earlier."

After Qing finished speaking, he turned around to look at Jianchuan Ju and the others and asked with a serious expression.

"What mission did you go on?"

"Do you know that the village has now defined you as traitorous ninjas?"

"what??"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the news, except Jianchuan Ju, who didn't react much because of his vague guess just now. However, he still clenched his fists with gritted teeth.

Jianchuan Ju raised his head and looked directly at Qing and asked.

"Teacher Qing, when was the notification of the rebellious ninja issued?!"

Qing obviously understood why Jianchuan Ju asked this, and directly threw an intelligence scroll to Jianchuan Ju.

Jianchuan Ju took the scroll and opened it. The date on it was yesterday noon!

"Heh, yesterday!" Jianchuan Ju sneered.

"That's right." Qingye nodded to confirm.

"Not long after you asked Lanzai to send me the message yesterday, the order to pursue the rebel ninja was issued."

"Impossible! We had just left the border of the Land of Lightning at that time. According to the normal mission, we might have just arrived near the Hidden Cloud Village and had not officially started the mission yet!"

The one who spoke was Kizuna Crescent Moon.

Because of the death of Yuka Tamura in the past two days, Kizuna Shingetsu has fallen into a depressed state. She basically didn't say a word the whole time and just followed the crowd.

But it's no wonder, the atmosphere in Ken's team was always good. But Ken died at the hands of the Fourth Generation Ai, and Azusa gave up and hid in the village as a logistics staff, basically giving up his identity as a ninja.

Now even Yuka Tamura, who had always been with him, died at the hands of the Hidden Cloud Village. The reason why Shingetsu Kizuki was able to follow everyone silently these two days was all thanks to the fact that these people in the ninja world had seen a lot of life and death and had a better mentality.

But what did he hear now? He and his companions were actually labeled as traitors by the village!

The most important thing is not the identity of a traitor.

After completing the mission, the group did not return immediately, but took a detour to the front-line camp, prepared to be punished.

But the time when the village issues the order is the most critical.

Judging from the time when the intelligence reached the front line, it might be that Jianchuan Ju and his group had just finished a fierce battle with the Kumogakure troops and successfully escaped, but the village had already defined them as traitorous ninjas.

The other people were obviously aware of this problem as well, their faces all looked bad, and they thought of the "guess" that Jianchuan Ju had mentioned before.

Seeing this, Qing continued to explain.

"The explanation given by the village is that you stole important technology from the village and defected en masse, and they asked the frontline to cooperate in the search and capture."

"We can kill on the spot if necessary!"

Chapter 273 Qingjun’s Side

Jianchuan Ju almost laughed out loud in anger when he heard this.

"That's how you play, right?"

And stole important technology and defected? The front line assisted in the arrest?

If they really wanted to defect, would they have to run to the frontline camp on Whirlpool Island? It was obvious that the mastermind was preventing them from hiding here.

"So, Mr. Qing, what's the situation at the frontline camp now? Why are you dressed like this?"

When the others heard Jianchuan Ju's question, they also looked at Qing.

Unexpectedly, when Qing saw Jianchuan Ju asking such a question, his expression suddenly became very strange, but he continued to speak.

"The frontline camp must naturally execute the search order issued directly by the village. Most of the sensory ninjas have been sent out to search near the Whirlpool Island. I can't blatantly disobey the village's order, so I can only come out alone to meet you. But..."

Qing paused, but continued.

"However, after the village issued the traitor notice and the hunt order, most of the ninjas in the camp do not believe that you, Tachibana, will betray the Hidden Mist Village, so many people are still waiting and watching, and have not launched a full-scale search."

After hearing this, everyone looked at Qing who had an extremely strange expression on his face, and then looked at Jianchuan Ju who looked a little dumbfounded.

For a moment, I didn't know what expression to make.

Good guy!

The village, or rather the Third Mizukage, had issued a direct notice of rebellion, but most of the frontline ninjas did not agree and chose to "wait and see"?!

"If I controlled the Third Mizukage, I would definitely kill you first! Bastard!"

This idea popped up in everyone's mind at the same time, some of which were not in line with their own positions.

Jianchuan Ju scratched his head in embarrassment at the strange looks from others.

Finally, he turned to Qing.

"Ahem, that what."

"So, Mr. Qing, you are still the commander of the front line, right?"

Back to business, Qing's expression became a little more serious.

"Yes, this incident did not affect me. However, the position of Harusame Jonin deputy commander was removed and replaced by Yukikaze, the head of the Snow Clan."

However, after saying this, Qing, who had just regained a somewhat serious expression, returned to his previous weird look.

Qing spoke quietly only after seeing Jianchuan Ju feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

"Chief Xuefeng also explicitly refused to acknowledge your defection, and suggested that the front line conduct an investigation first before responding to the village."

Now Jianchuan Ju was completely dumbfounded.

'Did the beating bring out your feelings?'

This guy Xuefeng suffered such serious injuries at the beginning, but he was able to recover completely in the end and continued to serve as the leader of the Snow Clan.

If Jianchuan Ju had heard about this before, it might have been enough to shock him.

But now that the other party "strongly supports" my decision, it doesn't seem so surprising.

But if you think about it carefully, Xuefeng has never been a brainless and reckless man.

Before, after Jianchuan Ju and Qing's strength and status increased, they had already given up the idea of ​​becoming enemies with them.

If Jianchuan Ju hadn't created the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai himself later, he might not have thought of hiring someone to assassinate Jianchuan Ju.

In the current situation, it is called "strong support", but in fact it is more of a choice of "delay". For the huge Snow Clan, it is not a big deal to execute the village's order a few days later, and they will not be punished later.

But if the village really made a mistake, or there was some other hidden truth, and Jianchuan Ju was finally "vindicated", he would be able to gain the friendship of a powerful jonin, and at least ease the previous conflict between the two parties.

After figuring out the whole story, Jianchuan Ju didn't continue to dwell on it.

Instead, he told Qing everything that had happened in the past few days, as well as what he had seen and guessed after returning to the village. Since Jianchuan Ju had not expected that he would be directly defined as a traitor by the village, many things were not explained in detail to Qing in the information sent back by Lanzai.

After hearing the specific information, Qing pondered for a moment and looked at Jianchuan Ju with a firm gaze.

"Ju, what are you going to do?"

Jianchuan Ju did not hide anything and directly expressed his thoughts.

"Teacher Qing, I hope you can gather the trusted jonin on the front line and return to the village with me."

"At present, only your Byakugan can confirm whether the Third-sama is really being controlled by someone using illusion."

Jianchuan Ju was 80% sure whether the Third Mizukage was controlled by the illusion.

But this still needs to be confirmed by someone with sufficient status, otherwise if you go directly to the door without any legitimate reasons, it will really be a mutiny.
