Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 497: Every Failure Makes You Smarter

In the sky, Tsuchikage Ohnoki and his guards Huang Tu and Wen Ya slowly floated down.

However, because of their arrival, the battle that had already been stopped naturally could not continue.

Seeing this, Jianchuan Ju smiled, slowly loosened his hands, and let Namikaze Minato and Mifune retreat.

Then he lifted his right foot.

With a loud 'bang', the Fourth Raikage who was under his feet jumped out of the ground and was about to punch Jianchuan Tachibana in return.

"Die little devil!!"

"stop!!"

Seeing the fist wind approaching and hearing Sanfun's shouting in his ears, Jianchuan Ju himself was not panicked at all.

At the critical moment, his arm was gently raised, and a metallic luster instantly appeared on his palm.

Then there was a "ding" sound.

It felt like a heavy hammer hitting a solid iron ingot, causing pain in the eardrums.

At the same time, a circle of shock waves visible to the naked eye spread rapidly around the two people like ripples.

The drifting snowflakes were pushed away in an instant, and the place where Jianchuan Ju collided seemed to turn into a vacuum area.

However, this obviously powerful blow did not cause Jianchuan Ju's body to waver in the slightest.

Even the lightning that kept "crackling" in the opponent's hand could not cause any damage when it hit Jianchuan Ju's palm.

Only the thin clothes were rustling due to the sudden shock wave.

"Lord Raikage, I'm here to mediate. If you launch a surprise attack like this, I won't be able to restrain my desire to fight back every time."

As he spoke, Jianchuan Ju gave the Raikage Ai a harmless smile.

However, it was a horrifying scene to see the Fourth Raikage's veins bulging, but he was unable to pull his arm out of the other's hand.

All the bystanders couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Lord Raikage!"

The Hidden Platform of the Cloud Village instantly appeared beside the Raikage and saluted respectfully. Only then did the Fourth Generation Ai give up struggling, and even the lightning surging around his body quickly disappeared without a trace.

"Little devil, let go!"

"Hmm~?" Jianchuan Ju's eyes narrowed into a slit as he continued to look at the fourth generation Ai.

The strength in his hands did not decrease at all.

"Mr. Mizukage!" Tutai on the side saw this and spoke anxiously.

Jianchuan Ju thought about it and decided not to continue to embarrass the barbarian in front of him, so he simply let go of his hand.

Then he turned around and gently brushed his chest with his right hand when no one was paying attention.

"Haha, these guys, their strength really can't be underestimated~"

"Thank you, Mizukage-sama!"

As the organizer, Mifune was the first to come forward to thank Jianchuan Tachibana.

In the situation just now, if any Kage had really died here, the Five Kage Summit would have been completely ruined.

"Is there no one who can explain to me what is going on?"

Perhaps worried that his height would affect his aura, Tsuchikage Ohnoki descended from the sky.

Although the two strong guards he brought with him had already landed on the snow and had to walk.

But Ohnoki himself still maintained the 'Earth Style*Light and Heavy Rock Technique', floating slowly in the air, maintaining a height slightly equal to that of his two subordinates.

However, Jianchuan Ju ignored Ohnoki's question. It was not his job as a "client trying to mediate a quarrel" to explain such a thing.

He just waved his hand casually and spoke to everyone with his smile on his face.

"You guys talk first, I'll go back and change my clothes first."

Having said that, Jianchuan Ju directly took Zabuza and Mei Terumi, who were still standing there in a daze, and walked towards the room where they had rested before, under the astonished gaze of everyone.

After stepping over the rubble that fell from the collapsed 'pagoda meat', he saw that he was already some distance away from the others.

Jianchuan Ju then asked Zabuza in a low voice beside him.

"How is it? I just helped you to control the person in place. The Byakugan should have seen something, right?"

Zabuza also knew what his own Mizukage meant by going back to the house to change clothes and taking himself and Mei Terumi with him, so he immediately moved a little closer and whispered.

"There does seem to be something wrong with the Fourth Raikage's bandaged arm."

"The chakra of the entire arm is only slightly different from his own. But there is something very strange on the back of his right hand! It is a kind of chakra that obviously does not belong to him, and it keeps flowing on the back of his hand."

Jianchuan Ju nodded slightly when he heard this.

He wasn't surprised that the overall chakra of the arm was only slightly different.

As an excellent medical ninja, Jianchuan Ju knew very well that even if he transplanted another person's arm, the chakra itself would still flow through the original body.

So they are basically the same, with slight differences in the locations of transplantation, which is normal.

But the key point is what Zabuza said later, which obviously does not belong to the Raikage's own chakra.

"Is this some new technology developed by Kumogakure? Or is it really a White Zetsu arm?"

"Abnormal on the back of his hand? Didn't this guy transplant a Sharingan on his hand? I just observed closely, and I didn't see any bulge on the back of the Raikage's hand?"

Thinking about the inexplicable appearance of an eye on the back of his hand, Jianchuanju suddenly felt a chill.

But since it wasn't his arm, he simply continued to ask Zabuza.

"When you observed with your Byakugan, did you notice whether the Raikage was controlled by an illusion?"

"What!"x2
Zabuza and Mei Terumi both paused and cried out in surprise.

Fortunately, the three of them had already walked into the building, and there was no one else following them.

When Jianchuan Ju saw the two men stop, he looked at Zabuza speechlessly.

"No? It's fine that Mei Terumi didn't roll her eyes in surprise, but you just peeped at her, why are you also surprised?"

"Is there really no such thing?"

When Zabuza heard Jianchuan Tachibana ask the question again, he realized that his reaction was a bit too extreme.

He frowned, recalled the scene he had just seen, and then explained in a low voice.

"There's no way to be sure about this, because the strange chakra on the back of the Raikage's hand will slowly spread outward, interfering with the flow of his own chakra, causing it to behave differently from the chakra of a normal human body."

"So just by observing with my Byakugan, I can't confirm whether the other party is still affected by the illusion."

Usually, the Byakugan uses perspective to observe whether the target is under illusion, and it is done by observing whether the chakra in the target's brain is disturbed and changed. And the eyes and ears, which are organs that receive external information, are also used to observe whether there is any external chakra that is not from the person himself.

But now, the chakra of the Fourth Raikage's entire body was fluctuating slightly due to the different chakra on the back of his right hand.

Zabuza couldn't make an accurate judgment about this situation.

After listening to Zabuza's analysis, Jianchuan Tachibana touched his chin thoughtfully.

"Every failure makes you wiser."
