Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 144 Conflict
Bored as he watched the Sand Village troops chasing him from a distance, Jianchuan Tachibana stretched out his hand and yawned.

Perhaps there are also skilled tracking ninjas like Shark in the Sand Village. Since the enemy's large force began to act, they have been moving in one direction with a clear goal.

This made Jianchuan Ju want to fly forward in the direction of Sand Village to find out whether the escaped Anbu from Kirigakure were just ahead.

But I thought that if I exposed my whereabouts again, it would not be as small as before.

Jianchuan Ju still restrained his impulse.

Just when Jianchuan Ju was still sighing, wondering whether the support troops from the Kirigakure front would arrive first, or the Sand Village's pursuit troops would catch up with those Anbu first.

Several figures landed beside Jianchuan Ju with a "swish".

He subconsciously reached for the short sword and the magic gun behind him, but after seeing the appearance of the person coming, Jianchuan Ju stopped the action.

'No wonder there was no warning of danger.'

"Captain Fu, it seems you didn't miss it. Did Shui Wan and Huan Die convey the information here to you?"

Well, Water Arm and Phantom Butterfly are naturally the Anbu code names of Kizuna Crescent Moon and Tamura Yuka.

While speaking, Jianchuan Ju waved his hand and called the little frog to his side.

"Yes."

Fu Yan replied briefly.

"But Captain Fu, how did you find me?"

As soon as he asked this question, Jianchuan Ju seemed to understand something, and looked at the silent Shark with a somewhat unfriendly look.

I must have been tracked by this guy's weird electromagnetic induction, but I don't know when he left his coordinates for me.

The shark's ability is indeed a bit strange. I was completely locked onto by the other party without even noticing it.

But the feeling of having your whereabouts completely known by others is not very pleasant.

Shark didn't care about Jianchuanju's somewhat malicious gaze.

'Just a flying imp.'

Although he had a general understanding of Jianchuan Ju's combat power and his work in the Anbu, as the ace of the Anbu's pursuit ninja team, Shark did not take a young Anbu like Jianchuan Ju seriously.

He just snorted disdainfully and didn't want to pay any attention to Jianchuan Ju at all.

Jianchuan Ju once again silently reached for the magic gun behind him, wondering whether he should show this guy Shark his level of medical ninjutsu.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was tense.

Seeing this, Hoshigaki, Kisame and the other two subconsciously moved towards Jianchuan Tachibana.

In the end, it was Fu who spoke up to smooth things over.

"It's necessary for the mission. Lu, tell me about the current situation."

Jianchuan Ju glanced at the arrogant Shark alone, and then looked at the Sand Village troops in the distance who were still in his sight.

Only then did he start talking about the current information.

"After the previous encounter, there should be more than a dozen Anbu who broke through the siege, and now the Sand Village troops are continuing to pursue them."

"But I have been keeping an eye on the movements of Sunagakure, and I haven't spotted any of those Anbu."

After saying this, Jianchuan Tachibana also pointed in the direction of the Sand Village troops.

However, other people did not have such abnormal vision as him. They looked in the direction of his finger and found nothing.

"What about the number of Sand Village troops?"

"About sixty or seventy people. I'm not sure how many jonin there are, but there should be about seven or eight."

Jianchuan Ju did not mention his previous sneak attack on Sand Village from the air, after all, it was a private attack that violated the mission requirements. Fu was also a little dignified when he heard this.

A small group of sixty or seventy ninjas is not too many, but seven or eight jonins are not a small number.

In fact, if the Sand Village team was not led by the Scorch Release Hagura, a team of 100 people consisting of two or three jonins and one chuunin and genin would be the normal situation.

"Captain, do we need to slow down the advance of the Sand Village troops a little?" Hoshigaki Kisame suddenly spoke.

It’s not that Hoshigaki Kisame cares about the lives of the fleeing Anbu, but he is worried that if the Sand Village troops catch up with them, they will quickly annihilate them and choose to withdraw directly.

By then, Kirigakure's support forces might not be able to arrive in time to encircle and suppress the enemy.

"No need, we just need to complete our tasks."

Fuku decisively refused. Having seen Hoshigaki Kisame release the Thousand Sames, he knew that perhaps with Kisame's huge chakra, it might be possible to slow down the pursuit of Sunagakure.

"If we attack rashly, and the enemy realizes that we have a large number of reinforcements coming, they may give up the pursuit and choose to withdraw."

"Yes, Captain."

After hearing this, Hoshigaki Kisame stopped talking.

Indeed, as an Anbu ninja, all you have to do is complete the tasks assigned by the Mizukage.

Jianchuan Ju heard the conversation between the two and secretly wiped his sweat.

"By the way, there should be a small number of puppeteer teams deployed among this batch of Sand Hidden Army."

Jianchuan Ju thought of the last few puppets that took off into the air and mentioned it casually.

"No problem. If there are not enough of them, they will not pose a threat."

The profession of puppeteer was originally created by Sunagakure to solve the problem of sparse population.

It can reduce troop casualties to a certain extent and expand the number of combat units.

However, if you cannot form a certain scale, you can be treated as an ordinary ninja.

After hearing this information, Fu fell into deep thought.

Although the number of support sent by the Kirigakure frontline troops will definitely exceed that of the Sand Village, this place is still within the territory of the Land of Fire after all, so they still have to be careful about being discovered by the Konoha ninjas.

If there are too many people, it would be too funny if Konoha were to take advantage of them.

However, if we cannot completely wipe out these Sand Village gangs, the effects of revenge and deterrence will inevitably be much worse.

"Forget it, just pass the information to the frontline troops. This is not something we should consider."

Kanfu took out a strangely shaped scroll and began to record information.

Jianchuan Ju guessed that it might be the new contact information with the front-line command sent by Shinobu sent by the village after he left.

"I don't know when radio communication will be available. It seems that the Yamanaka clan is Konoha's biggest chess piece in all the wars."

To be honest, even outsiders like Jianchuan Ju are somewhat envious of Konoha's luxurious configuration.

The Ino, Shika and Chou clans, the excellent minds and strategic vision of the Nara clan, the ultra-large-scale and ultra-long-distance barrier-free communication of the Yamanaka clan, and even the Akimichi clan's super-multiplication technique, which has a destructive power like a natural disaster to low-level ninjas on the battlefield.

These three families without bloodline limits are the real war background of Konoha.

After Fukufa sent the information, Jianchuan Tachibana also noticed that the Sand Village troops were about to be out of his sight.

After saying hello to the others, he took off again and followed.

"Captain Fu, I will slow down my flight speed, just follow me."

Several people looked at each other in surprise as they saw the strange sight of Jianchuan Ju flying away with the frog on its back.
