Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 350 Eight Months

"Son of the Fourth Hokage, Konoha has sent an invitation letter, inviting you to attend the Fourth Hokage's succession ceremony."

Jianchuan Ju, who had just started working in the morning, heard this somewhat boring news from Elder Yuanshi.

At this time, nearly eight months had passed since Jianchuan Tachibana's "big purchase" in Konoha.

Over the past six months, the situation in the ninja world has gradually begun to stabilize.

After Konoha concentrated all its forces and made a desperate effort to drive Iwagakure and Kumogakure out of the territory of the Land of Fire.

The three parties engaged in small-scale frictions within the borders of the Grass Kingdom and the Hot Spring Kingdom for several months.

Until some time ago, Iwagakure finally couldn't hold on and signed a peace treaty with Konoha.

Instead, it was the Hidden Cloud Village that lost the Third Raikage.

Even after the Fourth Raikage hastily succeeded to the throne, he still refused to give in.

Neither stopping the war nor launching a strong attack, the war with Konoha was always maintained at a low intensity.

And until now.

On the Konoha side, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen suffered huge losses in the war due to a series of reasons such as poor command and being captured on the battlefield.

He eventually resigned.

The Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze took over as the Fourth Hokage.

Jianchuan Ju looked at the official document handed over by Elder Yuanshi and put it aside with some disgust.

"No, no, when I succeeded to the position of Mizukage, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't come to congratulate me. You want me to go and celebrate with Namikaze Minato when he succeeds to the position? Konoha is so arrogant."

Elder Yuanshi thought about it and felt that what Jianchuan Ju said made sense.

Although the two villages are allies now, the Hidden Mist Village is not like the Hidden Sand Village, which was defeated by Konoha.

When it is time to hold it, you still have to hold it.

Otherwise, they are likely to be looked down upon by other small ninja villages that are ignorant of the situation.

"Then I should send them a letter rejecting them?"

However, after hearing this, Jianchuan Ju slowly tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a moment, and then spoke again.

"Just say I'm busy with official duties and can't go."

"When the time comes, let Senior Haruyu lead the team to watch the ceremony for me. By the way, let him find out from Konoha's top brass what Konoha thinks of that S-rank rebel Uchiha thief."

Ever since the ceasefire with Konoha, the number of members in the Sky Club has been continuously reduced, and Haruyu's job as the head of the Sky Club has become less busy.

Moreover, compared to those other impulsive and murderous lunatics in the village, Chun Yu, who has a calm personality, is more suitable to be an envoy on official business.

Now that it is inconvenient for both Jianchuan Ju and Qing to leave, the task of contacting some small ninja villages often falls on him.

As for the so-called 'Uchiha Thief'.

Naturally, it was the reputation that Jianchuan Ju got when he plundered the Konoha Village on a large scale.

Although Jianchuan Ju called himself "Uchiha Madara", Konoha obviously did not believe this statement.

However, the commotion that time was quite big, and all the major ninja clans in Konoha suffered thefts one after another. If the front line had not already decided the outcome with Iwagakure on the same day,

Just by making such a fuss, it is possible that the Konoha front line would become unstable and trigger even more violent turmoil.

Konoha naturally issued the highest level S-level wanted warrant for him.

Even if the Uchiha clan itself had not been robbed by Jianchuan Tachibana, they themselves might have been interrogated by the Konoha high-level officials.

But even so, I heard that the situation of the Uchiha clan in Konoha Village has become even more difficult in recent times.

Of course, Jianchuan Ju did not choose to hide the "good things" he did from Elder Yuanshi.

A large number of ninja tools, supplies and other items have all been returned to the inventory of the Hidden Mist Village.

There are many scrolls of secret arts, including the Secret Art of Shadow, Secret Art of Mind, Art of Multiplication, Izanagi, and the Art of Eight-Headed Magic.
There are all kinds of things.

To the extent that, if the Hidden Mist Village had enough manpower now and acted openly, it could easily establish a "New Konoha Village".

Of course, for the time being, the Hidden Mist Village has no intention of offending Konoha or even the entire ninja world.

After discussing with the Yuanshi elders, he finally selected only a portion of the war orphans, trained them to be loyal first, and then taught them some secret skills when the time was right.

As for Uchiha Obito.

In addition to Konoha's wanted warrant for 'him', Jianchuan Ju did not relax his vigilance against him.

From time to time, some White Zetsu would be sent out to search for Uchiha Obito in the Ninja World.

However, Jianchuan Ju found White Zetsu hiding in various places in the ninja world more than once, but still failed to catch him.

The closest time was when Jianchuan Ju even found the base where the old Uchiha Madara once hid through the gathered White Zetsu.

However, except for a few Bai Jue hanging on the trees in a daze, the place was already deserted.

If there weren't huge traces left by the existence of the Outer Path Golem and a slightly abrupt stone throne, Jianchuan Ju wouldn't have been able to recognize where that place was.

"Konoha must be having more headaches than us over there with the Uchiha thief."

"Now all the major ninja clans in Konoha are putting pressure on the top leaders. Even if Minato Namikaze takes over, he still has to solve this matter first. We just need to test the waters."

Elder Yuanshi nodded upon hearing this.

The small matter of the Fourth Hokage's succession to the throne has passed like this.

Compared to the troubles of other people, the focus of the Hidden Mist Village is now more on its own development.

Jianchuan Ju opened a document, looked up and asked.

"How is the urban construction on Whirlpool Island going?"

"The daimyo has relocated some of the civilians from the Land of Water to settle there, and the basic outline of the city has been completed."

Elder Yuanshi paused and continued.

"But the Daimyo wants us to send more ninjas to station there. It seems that due to the recent turmoil in the ninja world, many new pirate gangs have appeared near the route to Whirlpool Island."

Jianchuan Ju also felt a headache after hearing this.

There are quite a few jonin and even elite jonin in the Hidden Mist Village today, but the number of chunin and genin is seriously lacking due to the war.

Especially now that Kirigakure has received a larger share of missions, it is already operating at full capacity just to maintain daily ninja missions.

Not to mention that there is now an overseas base like Whirlpool Island.

However, this new city will definitely bring huge profits to the Hidden Mist Village in the future, and Jianchuan Ju can't just leave it alone.

"Is Xinyue's mission to Wave Country almost over?"

"After he comes back, call a meeting of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and have them take turns leading the team to garrison at Whirlpool Island to temporarily resolve the issue of route safety."

"As for the long-term stationing mission, please reply to the daimyo. Once the city is fully constructed, we will establish a fixed base on Whirlpool Island."

And so, the whole morning was busy.

After finishing some important matters, Jianchuan Ju left the Mizukage Building directly.

After such a long period of familiarization and adaptation, Jianchuan Ju basically only works in the office for a few hours a day, and has the rest of the time at his own disposal.

After all, he is still in a period of rapid growth in strength, and Elder Yuanshi does not want Jianchuan Ju to spend too much energy on daily work.

only.

After finishing work today, Jianchuan Ju did not choose to go out for practice.

Instead, he quickly returned to his residence.
