Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 317 Welcome home
After just four days.

Konoha's Utane Koharu actually brought the envoy of the Fire Country Daimyo to the Kirigakure front camp again.

They didn't even know how they reached a consensus with the Daimyo of the Water Country.

The envoy from the Daimyo of the Land of Water also arrived on the same day.

But it can also be seen that Konoha is indeed extremely anxious.

There were no unexpected changes during the formal signing this time. The two parties just had a brief exchange and then successfully signed the treaty.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and other Konoha ninjas were also released.

At this time, Jianchuan Ju was sitting alone in the tent, flipping through the sealed book sent by Konoha out of boredom.

'These people are really stingy.'

Although he also knew that Konoha would not be able to copy the complete Book of Seals to Kirigakure.

But there are too many things missing.

Except for powerful ninjutsu like 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' and 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

Only a few such as 'Seal of Four Symbols' and 'Multiplication Detonating Talisman' are acceptable.

However, all of these ninjutsu are extremely difficult to learn, or are extremely harmful to oneself, or may even be both.

This is also why Jianchuanju thinks Konoha is too stingy.

Moreover, after reading it carefully, Jianchuan Jue also noticed that the "Flying Thunder God Technique" might still be the original version developed by Senju Tobirama, and did not contain any subsequent improvements made by Namikaze Minato.

"Well, the authenticity of these techniques should also be questioned. If you pass them on in the future, you still have to make a note of it, so as not to be deceived by the people of Konoha."

After that, when Tachibana Jianchuan officially succeeds to the position of Mizukage, all the ninjutsu accumulated by the entire Hidden Mist Village will be open to him.

The sealed book obtained this time will also be added to the village's inventory.

He even planned to throw some of the non-core ninjutsu that Jianchuan Ju obtained through the system lottery into the Kirigakure warehouse and use them to reward meritorious ninjas in the future.

It can be considered as training talents for the village.

However, this sealed book is not completely useless to Jianchuan Ju.

What is somewhat surprising is that among the records about the 'Flying Thunder God Technique', there is actually a branch called 'Flying Thunder God Seal'.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the move that Minato Namikaze used to seal the dragon vein."

After Jianchuan Ju's preparation, he directly threw this part of the content to the sealing class, asking them to study for him whether they could use this part of the seal alone.

Just as he was casually flipping through the sealed book.

Qing lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in.

"Ju, we can go now."

Four days later, outside the Hidden Mist Village.

Because there is no urgent task this time.

The returning troops led by Jianchuan Ju and Qing were not in too much of a hurry. They led the team back to the Hidden Mist Village at a leisurely pace.

However, before they reached the village gate, they saw a long team outside the village welcoming the victorious army.

Standing at the front of the team was Elder Yuanshi.

Following them was a team of thousands of ninjas.

Further out, there are more ordinary villagers from the Hidden Mist Village.

The sunlight penetrated the clouds and fell on the earth, and everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles.

"Welcome home!"

There was also a gentle smile on the old face of Master Yuan.

His eyes were clearly looking at Jianchuan Ju, but it seemed as if he was looking at the past and the future.

After hearing what Elder Yuanshi said, Jianchuan Ju was stunned for a moment, but did not answer immediately.

Instead, he looked up at the smiling faces around him. He saw Haruyu, Saigyouji Keiko, Shimotsuki Ichiro, and Ringo Ayuri riding on his neck.

One by one, faces, some familiar and some unfamiliar, passed by Jianchuan Ju's eyes.

At this moment, he seemed to have found the meaning of his coming to the ninja world.

Then, a sincere smile also appeared on Jianchuan Ju's face, and he spoke softly.

"I am back."

The voice of this sentence was obviously not loud, but under the expectant gaze of everyone, it seemed as if it could be heard by everyone.

The next moment, the crowd was boiling.

"Woohoo~~"

"Welcome home!"

"Wan Sheng!!"

Everyone was roaring and waving their arms excitedly.

Countless flowers, which were considered luxuries in the Hidden Mist Village, were thrown to the returning troops.

These ninjas who usually show their arrogance and indifference, which one of them didn't retreat when others saw them? When had they ever received such a warm welcome from ordinary villagers?

At this moment, it seemed as if the lingering smell of blood on the body was somewhat dispelled by the endless flowers and cheers.

A rare, stiff but sincere smile appeared on their faces.

After all, who doesn’t want to be welcomed and admired by others?

On the top of the wall in the distance, Biwa Juuzou and Kaguya Rosso, who were lying on the parapet on the left and right, couldn't help smacking their lips as they looked at the team below that was being warmly welcomed.

"If I had known, I would have come back with that kid Ju. We were the first to come back, but that old man Yuanshi didn't even bother to prepare a welcome ceremony for us!"

Kaguya Rosso, who was standing by, listened to Biwa Juuzou's sour words with a look of disgust on her face.

"You bastard! You should call me Lord Jianchuan! Besides, do you understand? Are the troops who return after the formal signing of the treaty to end the war the same as the troops who return early?"

Biwa Juzo looked at Kaguya Rosso beside him with some horror.

Originally, the two had been getting closer recently, mainly because they had cooperated several times on the battlefield, and both felt that the other's fighting style was very much in line with their own aesthetics.

And another thing that Biwa Juzo considered was that being with Kaguya Rosso, a pure reckless man, would make him appear to have a higher IQ.

Unexpectedly, I was ridiculed by the other party today?
After he realized what was happening, he immediately felt embarrassed.

He bared his sharp teeth, his knuckles made a crackling sound, and said with a sly smile on his face.

"Boy, you have to know that I am a ninja swordsman! Logically, you should call me sir!"

However, Kaguya Rosso, who was threatened by him, was not afraid at all, and the look of disgust on her face became even stronger.

"Afraid of you? But do you know? I am a flying unit! If we have the ability, we can fight in the sky!"

This statement came out.

Biwa Juzo, who originally had a smirk on his face, suddenly froze and stood there in a daze.

Not to mention these two funny guys were pulling each other on the city wall.

Jianchuan Ju struggled forward amid the enthusiastic cheers of everyone, and followed the elder Yuanshi to the Mizukage Building.

There was still a lot of noise outside at this time, but Jianchuan Ju and his companions finally relaxed a little.

Looking at Jianchuan Ju, whose cheeks were almost stiff from laughing, Elder Yuanshi couldn't help but shook his head in amusement.

"Why? Are you not used to it?"

"Maybe? But I like it!"

"It would be nice if the style of the village changed."
