Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 129 Unexpected Enemy

Three days later, in an abandoned village on the border of the Water Kingdom.

A burly ANBU squatted down and examined the still warm ashes in the abandoned house.

"Captain, that bastard has been gone for no more than two hours."

Fu didn't pay any attention to his subordinates' impatience, but instead turned his attention to another ANBU wearing a shark-tooth mask.

Having been misled by the other party's forged traces several times before, Fu had to be cautious at this time.

When the other party saw Fu's gaze, he immediately understood and spoke directly.

"You can use it again in 10 minutes."

Fu nodded upon hearing this and gave the order.

"Rest here and continue on your journey in 10 minutes."

After hearing the captain's order, everyone began to take a short break to recover, but a depressing atmosphere still spread among the pursuit team.

Of the nine ANBU who set out, only six were left.

As for the three missing people.

It's funny to say that the last time a Chunin tracked down a village, he discovered traces of the enemy.

Everyone immediately divided into groups to search, and they thought that a group of three was already a sign of taking the attacker very seriously.

As a result, all three Anbu in the group were killed by the enemy's sneak attack.

What made these Anbu even more ashamed was when their teammates were killed by the enemy.

The other people who rushed over after hearing the noise didn't even get to touch the attacker's clothes before the attacker escaped again.

As the most elite Anbu ninja in the Hidden Mist Village, he was repeatedly escaped by the enemy, or even killed by the enemy, without losing track of their whereabouts.

This made the Anbu ninjas, who were a little arrogant before setting out, feel angry.

Besides, hunting down the person who attacked the Jinchūriki was the mission assigned by the Third Mizukage. If they returned empty-handed, they would not be able to stay in the Hidden Mist Village.

Although Jianchuan Ju has many abilities, he has no ability to pursue. At this time, he can only follow the main force and obey orders.

Sitting down to rest, Jianchuan Ju looked at the shark-tooth masked ANBU who had just spoken.

After working together for the past few days, Jianchuan Ju has gained a general understanding of this Anbu.

This guy's code name is 'Shark'.

After so many days of pursuit, he has not completely lost the enemy's trail thanks to his abnormal tracking ability.

As the ace of the Anbu's pursuit ninja team, Shark had previously been assigned to guard the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Yugao.

Relying on its special electromagnetic induction ability, it can continuously lock the marked target and sense the direction of the locked target every once in a while.

The top leaders of the Hidden Mist Village placed him in the nameless valley out of fear of losing the Jinchūriki.

It's just that this time, when the enemy attacked, Shark marked the opponent with his ability similar to the hunter's mark.

This prevented the pursuit from failing due to the opponent's cunning and clever disguise.

In fact, the difficulty of the enemy this time was somewhat beyond Jianchuan Ju's expectations.

There was only one enemy who actually sneaked into the nameless valley in three days and attempted to get close to the tailed beast.

However, the opponent managed to escape many times with his sophisticated camouflage techniques, and was always roaming around in the Water Kingdom, and was even able to counterattack.

It was Jianchuan Tachibana who was responsible for dealing with the bodies of the three dead Anbu.

All three were killed by a heavy punch. The sternum of one of them collapsed completely, and the other two were attacked from behind and their entire bodies were shot through.

If there were no signs of lightning burns on the corpse, Jianchuan Ju would even suspect that it was an act of revenge carried out by Ai from the Hidden Cloud Village.

You know, there are very few ninjas in the entire ninja world who can achieve this kind of effect with physical skills.

The 10 minutes passed quickly.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to the shark whose nose wing was slightly moving. The shark suddenly opened his eyes and pointed his finger at a forest in the distance.

"West! The enemy is moving quickly, approaching the coastline!"

Everyone immediately realized that the enemy must be trying to escape by sea.

Upon hearing this, Fu immediately ordered: "Chase!"

The six Anbu immediately set off and chased in the direction Shark pointed.

They didn't advance for too long before they discovered traces of the enemy's escape in the woods.

It’s not that several people were rushing at full speed and had the energy to search for traces carefully.

But at this moment, a straight path suddenly appeared in the dense forest.

The front looked as if it had been run over by a mad wild boar. Large tracts of trees had fallen, and dirt and grass had been blown everywhere.

Fu, who was leading the way in the front, kept walking and reminded loudly.

"It seems that the other party is no longer planning to hide! Go full speed ahead and capture this guy!"

"Yes!" x5
Following Fu's order, all the pursuit members accelerated again and rushed at full speed along the path opened by the enemy.

However, Jianchuan Ju, who was also speeding up along with his teammates, was secretly on high alert.

At this time, everyone was already very close to the border of the Water Kingdom.

Although it is possible that the enemy discovered that the Anbu behind him were approaching, he had no choice but to run away with all his might.

But why does this person think that he can escape the pursuit of these Mist Ninjas by running to the sea?

The last time I chased Yakushi Nono, I was ambushed by Konoha. I still remember clearly that.

"Captain! Right in front!"

Since the pursuit team had already reached the edge of the forest, there was basically no obstruction ahead.

Jianchuan Ju, who possesses the "sharp eyesight", can already see a figure running wildly in the distance.

The opponent's rather burly stature and the fact that every time he stepped on the ground while running wildly, he created a large pit, seemed to confirm everyone's previous speculation that he was a master of physical skills.

'Why does this figure's outfit look familiar?'

No matter what Jianchuan Ju thought, when they heard that the enemy was just ahead, everyone was ready for battle.

Then, just as the Anbu members were chasing the fleeing enemy to a cliff.

The opponent suddenly turned around to face everyone, grabbed the ground with his claws, and used his limbs to brake his steps.

After leaving four long traces on the ground, it finally stopped at the edge of the cliff.

The six ANBU, including Jianchuan Ju, dispersed and surrounded the man on the edge of the steep cliff.

However, before the team leader Fu could step forward and say a few polite words, the burly man in front of him suddenly shrank slowly.

The previous second, he was a muscular, big-bodied man like Ichiro Shimotsuki.

The next moment, the muscles on his body that were about to burst through his clothes disappeared, and he turned into a white-haired old man who looked somewhat elegant.

Jianchuan Ju looked at the man in a daze.

If he had only felt that the other party's outfit was somewhat familiar before, when he saw the ability to urinate and defecate anywhere, Jianchuan Ju immediately recognized the other party's identity.

He is the villain boss who calls himself Shennong in the original movie version.

As one of the few Naruto theatrical versions that he has watched, Jianchuan Ju has a deep impression of this guy.

Because I watched the movie version after watching Shippuden in my previous life.

Whether it was the Sky Ninja, the Zero Tail, or the other party's claim that he could open all eight gates without getting hurt, they all completely overturned his perception at the time.

But what Jianchuan Ju couldn’t understand was why the other party dared to come to the Hidden Mist Village to provoke the Six-Tails Jinchuriki?
