Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 121 Beating Workers

Time passes silently.

Looking at the completely dark night boredly, Jianchuan Ju leaned lazily against the outer wall of the Mizukage Building.

"Does the old Mizukage work so late every day?"

Looking down at this time, there are basically no people around the Mizukage Building.

The lights in most of the houses in the Hidden Mist Village had already been turned off.

However, the Third Mizukage was still working diligently in the office.

On the contrary, Elder Yuanshi, who seemed to be more serious and responsible, went back to rest early in the evening.

Jianchuan Ju took off his mask and threw a soldier pill into his mouth with a look of despair.

This is just an ordinary pill for filling hunger.

After all, I'm on guard duty, and there's no time to eat if there's no shift change.

To be honest, Jianchuan Ju had only eaten this kind of hard-to-swallow food-type soldier ration pill a few times while on the battlefield.

However, just as Jianchuan Ju had swallowed the Bingliang Pill, the Third Mizukage in the office stood up, as if he was preparing to go back to rest.

"This! I always feel like something evil is targeting me!"

Just when Jianchuan Ju thought he could finally take a break.

Hoshigaki Kisame, who had been standing upright, gestured to him and spoke.

"Go, follow."

Jianchuan Tachibana was a little dumbfounded, but seeing that Hoshigaki Kisame had already jumped to the other side of the roof, he had to quickly follow.

"Shou, what else are we going to do?"

Hoshigaki Kisame seemed a little puzzled as to why such a question came up, and turned to look at Jianchuan Tachibana.

"Of course I will continue to protect you, Third Master."

"Didn't I tell Dr. Lu? The guard duty is rotated every day."

After hearing Hoshigaki Kisame's explanation, Tachibana Kanegawa almost lost his balance and fell off the side of the Mizukage Building.

"Don't ANBU ninjas need sleep?"

Unexpectedly, Hoshigaki Kisame said it as a matter of course.

"Tomorrow we will have some rest and training time, and then we will continue to rotate to other parts of the village for patrol or guard duty."

After thinking about it, Hoshigaki Kisame added one last sentence.

"This is the arrangement when we are not on a mission. It is a benefit for the resting Anbu."

“Is this still a benefit?”

Jianchuan Ju suddenly felt that he didn't seem to like the job in the Anbu so much anymore.

"As expected, part-time jobs are the most annoying thing!"

Jianchuan Ju silently complained about this weird working system in his heart.

You know, for some time before, the Jianchuanju team lived a very free and easy life.

Although the training is usually very hard, the acceptance of tasks is very random. It is usually after 5 or 6 days of rest and training that everyone will choose to take a task that is not too troublesome to complete.

"Alas, workers have no choice."

Hoshigaki Kisame looked at Kanegawa Tachibana who was sighing beside him, not knowing what to say.

Fortunately, the Third Mizukage had already walked out of the Mizukage Building at this time.

The two stopped talking and followed quietly along with the Anbu guarding other locations.

However, they did not go far from the Mizukage Building and came to a house with relatively empty surroundings.

"Is this the home of Mizukage-sama?"

Jianchuan Ju looked at the house below in some disbelief.

It’s not that the Third Mizukage’s residence is particularly strange.

But Jianchuan Ju had never imagined that the Third Mizukage had been the absolute leader of the Hidden Mist Village for decades.

The place where you live is so simple?

"Yes, this is the residence of the third generation." Fu, who appeared at the side at some point, said with a hint of admiration in his tone.

"The Third-generation Master has no family or relatives, and he often even sleeps directly in the Mizukage Building."

It seems like Fuku is explaining why the Third Mizukage's residence is so simple, and it also seems to be conveying a certain emotion.

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju felt as if he had gotten to know the old man who had single-handedly pushed the Blood Mist Village forward all over again.

It is no wonder that even though the blood mist policy has various shortcomings, there are still so many Kirigakure ninjas who are proud of their identity as the 'Blood Mist Village'.

"Captain Fu!" x2
After listening to this, Jianchuan Ju and the others did not forget to turn around and greet.

Fu didn't care about their reactions and his tone became cold again.

"You continue to perform your mission. I am here to inform you that the subsequent duty time has changed. Meet at the Anbu base at ten o'clock tomorrow night."

"Understood." x2
When Fu saw that the two agreed, he left instantly.

I guess other staff on duty need to be notified.

After seeing the other party leave, Jianchuan Ju touched his chin and thought.

"Could it be because of the mission that the Third Mizukage assigned to the Anbu this afternoon?"

"But Captain Fu said that the duty hours have changed, not the mission. It seems that we don't need to send our team to the front lines of the two countries of Fenghuo."

"Well, maybe a large number of Anbu personnel were transferred out, so the workload of the remaining personnel has increased?"

Jianchuan Ju was a little amused and didn't know whether he should be glad that he didn't have to carry out a dangerous mission, or be worried that he might not have much rest time.

"I was thinking of talking to Ming and the others about the situation after I rest tomorrow."

'Alas, the flight practice plan will be postponed again.'

Jianchuan Ju was daydreaming here.

Hoshigaki Kisame standing aside also said nothing.

Anyway, everyone is wearing a mask, so I don’t know what other people’s expressions are.

There was no conversation that night, and the Third Mizukage might have really taken a rest.

He also didn't ask the Anbu to inform anyone.

Jianchuan Ju also stayed up all night like a responsible security guard.

The sky is bright.

Jianchuan Ju yawned, exchanged secret signals with the Anbu who came to take over the shift, then said goodbye to Hoshigaki Kisame and went home to rest.

As soon as I entered the house, I found that the little frog was making breakfast by himself, which was a rare occurrence.

Jianchuan Ju smiled and walked forward, took a peeled egg and put it into his mouth.

"Quack!=.=#"

"Okay, okay, I'll peel one for you."

Rubbing Lanzai's little head, Jianchuanju picked up another egg and started spinning it deftly on his fingertips.

In just a moment, a peeled, white and smooth egg appeared in Jianchuan Ju's hand.

After releasing the chakra scalpel from his fingertips and handing the egg to the somewhat happy Lan Zai, Jianchuan Ju continued.

"Why don't you go and practice with Ming and Zabuza these few days?"

"I think the Anbu's mission will be quite busy next time, so it's not a good idea to bring you along."

Lan Zai held the egg, looked at it from left to right, and nodded nonchalantly, to show that he understood.

Jianchuan Ju didn't care much about it.

While eating breakfast, he complained to Lanzai about how boring the guard duty in the Anbu was.

"Okay, stop playing with the eggs and finish your breakfast."

After lightly tapping Lan Zai, who had not taken a few bites of food yet, Jianchuan Ju gently pushed the plate towards him.

Lanzai reluctantly stuffed the egg into his mouth, and then devoured his breakfast in a flash.

Looking at Lanzai who went to wash the dishes on his own initiative, Jianchuanju stretched and walked into the bedroom.

"Lan Zai, remember to wake me up when you come back from training tonight."
