Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 184: Six Ninja Swordsmen?
The Kirigakure troops gradually retreated towards the border coast of the Land of Fire.

As for those flying ninjas.

It is estimated that there is indeed insufficient power to return.

They all chose to land directly and followed the Kirigakure army.

However, after these people landed, the sight of them rushing on their way with the flying wings that were still huge even after being folded was a bit funny no matter how you looked at them.

Of course, as the biggest contributors to this battle, none of the Kirigakure ninjas present would laugh at them for this.

Although Kirigakure was unable to achieve its full potential this time due to the arrival of Konoha's support.

But Konoha still left nearly eight hundred corpses on the battlefield.

The number of casualties in Konoha in this battle even exceeded the total casualties in the small-scale wars that had been going on on the front line of the Land of Whirlpools in recent months, and nearly half of Konoha's troops on the eastern battlefield were wiped out.

The losses on the Kirigakure side were less than two hundred people, which allowed the front-line ninjas to vent their anger.

This also meant that the returning troops did not march in silence as usual. Instead, many people were discussing the battle that had just taken place intensely.

Of course, there were also quite a few ninjas who were cursing Konoha's Minato Namikaze.

After all, if Minato Namikaze hadn't come to support, the Kirigakure Ninja would even have a chance to wipe out the Konoha army.

Moreover, the casualties caused by the arrival of Minato Namikaze alone were almost half of the losses suffered by Kirigakure in this battle.

However, this kind of curse from the enemy may be a kind of affirmation for Minato Namikaze.

"So, we are actually bait?"

Harpoon looked at Biwa Juzo with some disbelief.

However, Biwa Juzang just curled his lips in disdain and didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.

Jianchuan Ju thought about it and gave a brief explanation to the harpoon.

"Not really. It can only be said that this was a temporary response made by the village after receiving the intelligence."

"The village can't possibly risk the annihilation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen by setting up this kind of bait tactic."

Harpoon nodded, agreeing with Jianchuan Ju's statement.

"At least it turned out well."

Jianchuan Ju estimated that after this battle, the balance of the battlefield in Whirlpool Country would quickly tilt towards the Hidden Mist.

Not to mention the impact caused by Konoha's massive loss of military forces.

It is this flying unit.

If Konoha still doesn't have any effective solution, it will be enough for the Kirigakure ninjas to have an absolute advantage in the battle on the front line.

"A lot of those bastards from Konoha got away this time. We'll launch an attack on the village next time, haha." Biwa Juzang said with a sinister smile.

"That may not be the case. I guess Konoha will send reinforcements soon."

Harpoon is not as optimistic as Biwa Juzo.

However, as soon as these words came out, they were immediately met with the other party's glare.

In fact, Jianchuan Ju actually agrees with Biwa Juzang's opinion.

Konoha suffered such a heavy loss this time, so it was inevitable to send reinforcements. But how many troops could Konoha mobilize now?
The Iwagakure and Kumogakure villages are still fighting fiercely with Konoha.

Even if Konoha withdraws a large number of troops to deal with the sudden new type of troops from the Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Sand Village, which has already retreated back to the territory of the Wind Country, might have to repeat the same mistake again.

The armistice agreement between them has not yet been officially signed.

By then, no matter how hard Minato Namikaze worked, it would be impossible for him to appear on four battlefields at the same time.

"What if Konoha was destroyed like this? Would all those bad things happen later?"

Of course, Jianchuan Ju just thought so.

With the current strength of Konoha, even if the four major ninja villages block their doorstep, there may be a chance to turn the tables. Moreover, the four major ninja villages are not harmonious. If they really invade the territory of the Land of Fire, it is possible that the four villages will fight first.

Perhaps because of this experience of escaping together, Biwa Juzo basically did not put on airs as a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in front of the others.

Even Kurishan Kushimaru, who was carrying Kurochu Raiga on his back, although he spoke less, would occasionally join in the conversation.

There was no sign at all that he regarded Jianchuan Ju and the others as his subordinates.

The Kirigakure troops discussed the results of the battle intensely along the way and gradually arrived at the border coastline of the Land of Fire.

Looking at the four giant aircraft carriers, Jianchuan Ju was somewhat amazed at the background of the air ninjas.

The Hidden Mist Village might not be unable to build such a giant vehicle if they had the technology.

But it certainly cannot be built in a short time. We really have to thank the selfless donations of the Sky Ninjas for being able to put together such a powerful force.

After the entire army boarded the ship, four aircraft carriers and four small escort ships slowly sailed towards the Hidden Mist Village and the frontline camp of the Whirlpool Country.

"Lord Kurisai Kushimaru, are we going back to the village to report? Or do we have other plans?"

Inside the cabin, Jianchuan Ju was examining and treating Kurochu Raiga again while asking Kurisan Kushimaru who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

Kurishan Kushimaru didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

"That guy Gouju conveyed the order from the Third-generation Master. We will stay in the front-line camp and cooperate in the next battle."

"As for the subsequent appointments, we will have to wait until the complete mission report is sent back to the Hidden Mist Village before the Third-sama will make the decision."

Jianchuan Ju didn't stop his hands, but continued to ask questions with some confusion.

"We should stay at the front line? The village isn't so short of troops, right?"

Jianchuan Ju thought that since such a big thing had happened this time, they would definitely return to the village to report directly to the Third Mizukage.

I didn't expect that I would have to stay here now.

"We are the Seventh Generation. We are expected to have several major battles in the future. The Third Generation Master will definitely need us to contribute on the front lines."

Now Jianchuan Ju understood. Although Kurishan Kushimaru didn't say it out loud, Jianchuan Ju also understood.

High-end combat power is already scarce in the Hidden Mist Village, and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are barely enough to make up the numbers.

Now there are only three old ninja swordsmen left, including Kurishan Kushimaru. The Third Mizukage must still want them to help Karatachi Yagura share some of the pressure on the front line.

Even Hoshigaki and Kisame, who used the flatfish and kabutoki without permission, were probably temporarily acquiesced to by the village's top leaders as ninja sword users.

As for myself, it must be because I was dragged down by these people.

After Hanaya died, among these people, he was the only one who had nothing to do with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, so he might have been arranged together.

"I always feel like I'm a bit out of place. How about I play with Feimo first?"

"No, where is Feimo?"

Jianchuan Ju suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Kurishan Kushimaru.

"Master Kurisai Kushimaru, where is the Explosive Blade*Foam?"

Kurishan Kushimaru paused for a moment, but immediately relaxed and continued to lean against the wall, speaking with some helplessness.

"Once that idiot Muri Jinpachi dies, Bakuto* Feimo will definitely fall into Konoha's hands."

"As long as someone holds this thing, it cannot be summoned back. If it had been faster, it might have been sent back to Konoha. I guess the village won't be able to get this ninja sword back until this war is over."

"what??"

Jianchuan Ju was speechless.

"Can you get this back? You won't become the Six Ninja Swordsmen in the future, right?"
