Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 320 I Have a Question
Jianchuan Ju, Elder Yuanshi, and the two accompanying jonin all sat down with puzzled expressions.

Get ready to see what the Daimyo of the Land of Water is up to.

Sure enough, everyone was seated.

The Daimyo of the Land of Water seemed to be speaking impatiently, pointing his finger directly at Jianchuanju.

"Boy, are you Jianchuan Ju? You still look like a child?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone present changed.

This attitude and tone is no longer simply an expression of dissatisfaction, it has even reached the point of provocation.

There was no need for Jianchuan Ju to say anything, as the Yuanshi elder beside him immediately glared at the daimyo.

"Mr. Daimyo, you are now facing the next Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, so please be careful with the way you speak!"

However, Jianchuan Tachibana was not too angry because of the daimyo's tone. Instead, he noticed the expressions of the four Water Country officials sitting opposite him.

The four of them all looked shocked and doubtful, and it was obvious that they had never expected that their daimyo would say such a thing.

At the same time, facing the angry rebuke of the Yuanshi Elder, this daimyo who looked like just an ordinary middle-aged man was not afraid at all.

He retorted sarcastically.

"Whether he will be the next Mizukage has not yet been decided. At least the daimyo will not approve such a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair to be the Mizukage."

"If such a brat can become a Mizukage, where will the reputation of our Water Country be?"

At this moment, the old official sitting closest to the daimyo's side suddenly contracted his pupils, and tried to persuade him with a trembling voice.

"Your Excellency"

But before he could finish his words.

"Bang!"

Elder Yuanshi slammed his hands heavily on the table.

The official who wanted to speak was so frightened that he swallowed his words back.

Elder Yuanshi stood up, stared into Daimyo's eyes, and spoke word by word.

"The Mizukage is the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village! It has always been held by the strongest person in the Hidden Mist Village! It is not the Daimyo's turn to give orders!"

Having said this, the relationship was completely broken.

Although what Elder Yuanshi said was true, all previous Mizukages still had to go through the motions with the Daimyo.

After all, the main source of income for the Hidden Mist Village still comes from the mission commissions from the upper-class nobles of the Water Country.

However, the four people from the Hidden Mist Village had no intention of compromising at all.

Facing the aggressive elder Yuanshi, Daimyo remained unmoved and sat in his original position, replying calmly.

"Really? Then the Hidden Mist Village won't be able to receive any missions from the Daimyo's Mansion anymore."

"Pfft~"

When Jianchuan Ju heard the other party's "threat", he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then he patted the still somewhat angry Elder Yuanshi and said.

"Since we are not welcome here, let's leave first. Perhaps the daimyo will come to his senses after a while?"

After saying that, Jianchuan Ju stood up and walked out.

However, before leaving, Jianchuan Ju's gaze swept across the faces of the Daimyo of the Water Country and the four officials in turn.

In contrast to the extremely terrified expressions on the faces of these four people, the daimyo at this time still looked unconcerned, and there was even a hint of a strange smile at the corner of his mouth.

Originally, the Kirigakure group came here with the intention of communicating more with the daimyo prefecture to build closer relations and to make in-depth discussions on the future development of Kirigakure Village.

Who would have thought that the formal conversation would end so unpleasantly before it even began? He left the daimyo's residence with a heavy face, not long after he left.

Elder Yuanshi and Jianchuan Ju looked at each other and spoke in unison.

"This name is wrong!"

That’s right, the reason why Jianchuan Ju chose to leave just now was not because he felt humiliated or for any other reason.

Rather, the daimyo's previous series of actions were really too abnormal.

Although Jianchuan Ju had never met the daimyo in person before, he didn't know what kind of personality he had.

But at least, among the four Kirigakure ninjas who were present just now, even the elder Yuanshi who had not fought for a long time was still a ninja who could easily take his life.

Even if he really had some dissatisfaction with the Hidden Mist Village, it was impossible for him to speak so arrogantly in that situation.

You know, these guys from the Hidden Mist Village have always had a bad reputation in the ninja world.

If Jianchuan Ju really is a bloodthirsty and impulsive guy, it would not be surprising if he was killed on the spot.

At that distance, even if there were jonin among the daimyo's personal guards, no, even if there were kage-level beings, they would not be able to protect him.

The other party was almost about to carve the words "I have a problem" on his forehead.

"Did Elder Yuanshi have the same personality when he met the other party before?" Jianchuan Ju asked in a low voice.

“It’s not just a matter of character.”

After saying this, Elder Yuanshi paused for a moment and then continued speaking.

"Let's talk about this somewhere else."

The other three people had no objection when they heard this.

The four of them randomly found a hotel in the capital of the Water Kingdom and stayed there first.

After entering the room, Elder Yuanshi continued the previous topic.

"I have met this generation's Daimyo of the Land of Water several times before. Although he is not a wise ruler, he has always been well-behaved. He has always maintained a win-win attitude towards the Ninja Village."

"And it's not just a change in personality. Some time ago, when I was communicating with him and informing him of the Sandaime's death, I also mentioned that you could succeed him as the Yondaime. In his reply, he didn't raise any objections."

"Is the change so big?"

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju revealed a hint of amusement in his eyes, combined with the other party's fearless appearance.

"If he doesn't really have something we don't know about, then it's illusion control, or..."

"White Zetsu!"

Elder Yuanshi also nodded solemnly at this time.

"It shouldn't be that he has something to rely on. Even if the other party really wants to reduce the influence of the ninja village, he will only act in secret. If we really want to kill him at that distance just now, no support can save him."

Since he was going to meet the daimyo today, Jianchuan Ju did not bring Lanzi with him.

Therefore, it is still impossible to confirm at this moment whether the other party was controlled by some petty thief using illusion, or whether he has really been replaced by White Zetsu.

Jianchuan Ju himself is currently unable to identify White Zetsu's "disguise technique". Unless the opponent wants to attack him, he will be able to identify the enemy.

Originally, because of Lan Zai's newly demonstrated ability to identify White Zetsu, Jianchuan Ju had temporarily put aside the threat from the other party.

There was not even a special search for White Zetsu in the village. After all, this thing was like cockroaches. No matter how many waves you killed, there would be more waves. It was impossible to get rid of them completely.

However, if the daimyo was really replaced, it would have a huge impact on Jianchuan Tachibana, or the Hidden Mist Village.

If not handled properly, the Hidden Mist Village may very likely become the public enemy of the ninja world.

"I hope it wasn't you, Obito!"
