Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

A large ninja clan like the Snow Clan must have its own special communication channels. As the patriarch of the Snow Clan, it is not difficult for Xuefeng to contact the family through the village's communication team.

Just when Jianchuan Ju was about to ask Xuefeng to try it.

A voice came from the side of the crowd who were on their way.

"I don't think that's necessary!"

"Be careful!" Qing was the first to react and warned.

Jianchuan Ju and others also stopped immediately.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

More than ten figures suddenly appeared from the side and blocked Jianchuan Ju's group.

Leading the group were none other than the Third Mizukage and Yagura Karatachi.

As soon as the Third Mizukage appeared, he started to scold everyone in a cold voice.

"Jianchuan Ju stole the village secrets and intended to assassinate the Mizukage. Now he has defected! You followed him, do you want to become a traitor too?"

As the Third Mizukage finished his words, the Anbu who followed him drew out their standard long swords behind them with a "clang" sound, making a deterrent gesture.

On Jianchuan Ju's side, except for a few people who showed hesitation, the rest of them drew their weapons and confronted them.

However, this action did not change the Third Mizukage's expression at all.

He turned to look at Qing, who had also taken out a kunai and was on guard, and spoke slowly.

"Qing, as the commander of the front line, you are leading your team to leave their post without permission at this time. Are you ready to become a traitor?"

However, the one who answered him was Qing, who made the 'Yin' seal with one hand, with veins bulging around his right eye.

"Teacher Qing?"

Jianchuan Ju also ignored the Third Mizukage's questioning and asked directly.

Qing naturally knew what Jianchuanju was asking, and answered quickly.

"There is only one Third Generation Master!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the jonin brought by Jianchuan Ju looked at Karatachi Yagura who was standing behind the Third Mizukage with heavy faces.

Everyone understood what Qing meant. The only one who was controlled by the illusion was the Third Mizukage.

Then the position of Gojo Yagura in this incident is self-evident.

'traitor! '

Many people cursed in their hearts.

Qing spoke directly and shouted to the dozen or so Anbu who were following the Third Mizukage and Karatachi Yagura.

"The Third-Kage is now under the control of the enemy's illusion! Do you still want to help him?!" However, the Anbu on the opposite side were not moved by Qing's words at all. They still held the cold weapons in their hands tightly and pointed them firmly at everyone.

"It's no use, Mr. Qing."

Jianchuan Ju patted Qing's arm in a calm tone.

"Those who are brought in to deal with us, even if they don't know the whole truth, are unlikely to turn against us at this time."

"Isn't that right? Senior Gouju."

Jianchuan Ju has a clearer understanding of the current situation than his teacher.

Now the Third Mizukage and Karatachi Yagura are on the side of righteousness. If they really want to come with a big fanfare to encircle and annihilate Jianchuan Tachibana and others, then it will not be just the dozen or so Anbu who will come, but hundreds or even thousands of village ninjas.

Since the other party is now blocking our people here, far away from the Hidden Mist Village, and they only have so few people, it is obvious that they don't want to make too big a fuss and are prepared to resolve the matter quietly.

Therefore, the people brought here must be die-hard fans of Karatachi Yagura, and it is impossible for them to be persuaded by Qing with just a few words.

Karitachi Yagura, who had been standing behind the Third Mizukage without saying a word since he appeared, now pulled out the iron hook behind him and looked with a complicated expression at the young man whom he once admired very much.

"Ju, you shouldn't have come back."

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju smiled as brightly as always and asked back with his head tilted.

"So what? Senior Kujuji thinks that I should bear the infamy of being a traitor and leave alone like a miserable stray dog?"

In response to Jianchuan Ju's question, Karajū Yagura did not answer, but chose to remain silent.

Qing, who was also acquainted with Karuju Yagura, asked in a somewhat dry voice when he saw the other party stand up.

"why?"

Unexpectedly, this sentence seemed to have irritated a nerve in Goju Yagura.

I saw that the veins on Goju Yagura's arms were bulging, and he smashed the huge iron hook, which was more than a person's height, into the ground with all his strength, splashing large pieces of earth and rocks, and he roared angrily.

"I should be the Mizukage!!!"

This roar filled with resentment seemed to vent out the emotions that Karatachi Yagura had been accumulating for a long time.

After taking a breath for a while, he looked at Jianchuan Ju and Qing with a ferocious expression.

"The Sandaime's blood mist policy is wrong! I am the hero of this war! It was under my command that the village defeated Konoha! Only I can reform the Hidden Mist Village! I am doing this for the Hidden Mist Village! I should be the Fourth Hokage!!"

It seemed as if Karuta Yagura's words were not meant for anyone else to hear, but the volume was getting louder and louder, until it finally turned into a distorted roar.

"And you!"

Goju Yagura raised the iron hook in his hand and pointed it directly at Qing.

Qing, who was being pointed at, was a little confused. He thought that he was standing too close to Jianchuanju, and subconsciously took two steps to the side.

Unexpectedly, the huge iron hook was still pointing at him.

???

However, what Karuta Yagura said next left everyone stunned.

"Just because you have a genius disciple! The old fellow Sandaime actually wants you to be the Fourth Mizukage! Why!!"

Now even the people who followed Jianchuan Ju unconsciously turned their eyes to Qing who was standing there in a daze.

Qing himself was obviously a little overwhelmed by the news and pointed at himself stupidly.

"Me? The Yondaime?"

But then, Qing spoke again hesitantly.

"But, the village's Kage has always been respected based on strength, right?"

This time, there was no need for Karuta Yagura to continue speaking. The Third Mizukage, who had originally had a cold expression on his face, suddenly showed a strange smile on his face.

"Strength is something that can naturally be improved."

"How about it? Qing, do you want to be the Mizukage?"

Chapter 276: It's not Madara, it's a passerby

"How about it? Qing, do you want to be the Mizukage?"

The playful and bewitching words of the 'Third Mizukage' silenced everyone present.

"Enough!" Jianchuan Ju's loud shout broke the weird atmosphere.

"Come out! Madara! Are you still playing these boring tricks?"

As soon as Jianchuan Ju finished speaking, a very strange laugh came from behind the group of Anbu led by Karatachi Yagura.

"Hehehe~ Don't get excited. I can prove it! Lord Yagura is telling the truth~"

As the voice was spoken, a green-haired Anbu jumped out of the crowd from somewhere and stood between the two groups of people.

This guy is naturally not the legendary Uchiha Madara, but the Anbu codenamed "Madara", or the White Zetsu.

Jianchuan Ju ignored this strange-looking guy and looked at Karuju Yagura, whose expression was slowly returning to calm, with disappointment on his face, and spoke.

"So, Senior Gouju, this is what you said, for the sake of the village? To collude with outsiders for the sake of the village? Or to harm one's own people for the sake of the village?"

The disappointment in Jianchuan Ju's eyes was not because of himself.

Although Jianchuan Ju had some affection for Karatachi Yagura, who had once tried to recruit him and who remained gentle and gentlemanly even after the recruitment failed, it was not very deep.

At this moment, Jianchuan Ju was disappointed for Zabuza who was still covering for Ao in the front-line camp.

Although perhaps because of the bond with Team Ao, Zabuza may not regard Karatachi Yagura as his only and most important bond as he did at the beginning.

But Zabuza still admires Karatachi Yagura very much in his heart and regards him as the sun of Kirigakure.

His biggest wish has always not been to become the Mizukage, but to become one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, join the Anbu, and become a direct subordinate of the Kage.

Zabuza also firmly believed from the beginning to the end that Karatachi Yagura would eventually become the Fourth Mizukage.

Just before setting off on this mission, Zabuza, who participated in the pre-war meeting, spoke to Jianchuan Tachibana with certainty.

"Koujutsu Jonin must have been controlled by the enemy's illusion just like the Third Mizukage!"

There were also a few people who awkwardly suggested whether they could be brought along for this operation to help rescue Karatachi Yagura.

"If Zabuza was here, he would cry, right?"

However, facing Jianchuan Ju's questioning, Karuju Yagura, who had calmed down, simply spoke lightly.

"It's just that the winner takes it all. As long as I know that everything I do is for the village, that's enough."

"Ban", who was standing between the two groups, twisted his body strangely as he watched the two people talking to each other across him.

"Aiya~ It was you who called me out, but you just left me alone like this. I'm so sad~"

The strange look on Madara's face interrupted their conversation.

Jianchuan Ju also turned his attention to the other person.

"This one, Ban."

However, Jianchuan Ju had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Ban.

"It's not Madara~ Madara is just a code name~ I have my own name~ and I'm not an outsider~"

As he spoke, Ban slowly took off the mask on his face, revealing an ordinary face, and tilted his head to look at Jianchuan Ju.

???

Jianchuan Ju didn't know what the other party was doing.

'What is not an outsider?'

Unexpectedly, after taking off his mask, "Ban" looked sad when he saw Jianchuanju's puzzled expression.

"Huh? Tachibana doesn't recognize me? So sad~" "What if that's the case?"

As he spoke, his green hair slowly turned black, and the tone of his voice changed, becoming a little arrogant and sarcastic.

"Hey, Jianchuan Ju! You better put away your fake smile."

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he spoke slowly with some disbelief.

"Ikaruto!!"

That’s right! At this moment, this White Zetsu, apart from his height, is also amazing in appearance, demeanor, and voice tone!

It was Iwari Ashito, a classmate of Jianchuan Tachibana Ninja School, who should have died in Zabuza's graduation exam!

"Hehehe~ That's right~ It's a reed man~"

White Zetsu, or Iwarito's voice returned to its previous shrill and strange sound.

At the same time, the body changed again. The flesh color of the skin faded and became pale, and large and small pale aloe-like spikes slowly grew on the torso, arms, shoulder armor, etc. The two arms were raised to the top of the head in a strange manner, posing as an aloe branch.

"How's it going? Are you surprised?"

Looking at Bai Jue who was twisting his body with a smile, Jianchuan Ju felt a chill all over his body.

It’s not because of the other person’s appearance that makes people feel the uncanny valley effect.

It was because Jianchuan Ju had never thought that he would have contact with a terrifying existence like White Zetsu at such an early time.

And from a higher perspective, if the 'Ikaruto' are all White Zetsu, then how many people in the Hidden Mist Village are there, and how many inconspicuous people are there who are disguised as White Zetsu? !

"System! Is this the kind of fight you mentioned about snatching lollipops from kids? ! ! ! "

Looking at Jianchuan Ju's pale face, covering his chest and taking a half step back in disbelief, the White Zetsu twisted even more unscrupulously.

However, the next moment.
