Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 498: Speculations and Experiments

That’s right, although I’m not completely sure yet.

However, Jianchuan Ju had already determined in his heart that the tightly wrapped arm of the Fourth Raikage Ai was most likely the arm of White Zetsu.

It’s not that Jianchuan Ju doesn’t believe that such a big Cloud Village doesn’t even have the technology to transplant a new arm for its own Raikage.

Not to mention others, it’s Jianchuan Ju himself.

As long as a certain amount of time is spent, it is entirely possible to transplant someone else's arm to a person with a broken arm.

It can even suppress the rejection reaction to the minimum so as not to affect one's normal use or even combat.

But under normal circumstances, what good person would install a chakra energy source different from his own on the back of his hand?

According to Zabuza's description, Jianchuan Ju could only think of two situations for the time being.

One is a bit disgusting, a foreign organ similar to the Sharingan.

The other possibility is that the other party directly and forcibly embedded a foreign chakra gem similar to the 'white jade orb' currently on Jianchuan Ju's divine spear into his own hand.

But to be honest, this second approach will hardly bring any actual improvement to masters who have reached the level of shadow.

Is it just to allow yourself to launch a fist attack with different attributes when you swing your fist?

"Oh, there is another possibility. The other party used a sealing technique to seal a tailed beast chakra the size of a fingernail on the back of his hand."

Jianchuan Ju had some evil thoughts in his mind.

But then he immediately shook his head and threw away this unrealistic idea.

And if the Fourth Raikage really had White Zetsu's arm transplanted into him, and Zabuza's Byakugan could not determine whether the Raikage had been subjected to an illusion, then there were only two possible situations for him.

One is that the other party has reached some kind of cooperation with Uchiha Obito. As for whether the Hidden Cloud Village is aware that the person cooperating with them is Uchiha Obito, it is difficult for Jianchuan Ju to be sure.

Although this kind of alien energy source constantly emits fluctuations in the body, which will slightly affect the use of Raikage's own ninjutsu, it is also a good way for the alien to resist illusion control.

The other possibility is that Obito and Black Zetsu used the same old trick again and directly used illusion to control the Raikage.

After all, these two people really have a criminal record, not to mention the time when Madara acted behind the scenes and manipulated the Third Mizukage.

In the original work, the other party also controlled the Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura behind the scenes for more than ten years.

And if that is the case, then the so-called chakra fluctuations on the back of the hand seem to be covering up the illusion control.

It might be because his previous attempt to control the Third Mizukage was seen through by Qing, so the other party imposed this insurance.

"Hey, can the new reply command I drew also achieve a similar effect?"

While thinking this in his mind, Jianchuan Ju had already opened the door of his room and walked in.

Then he immediately stopped, looked at Mei Terumi, waved and said.

"Ming, come here for a moment."

Knowing that Jianchuan Ju was about to go into the house to change clothes, Mei Terumi and Zabuza had already stopped outside the door, ready to do their guard work.

When she heard Jianchuan Ju calling her into the house, Terumi Mei's face immediately turned red, like a ripe apple.

He subconsciously waved his hands and stammered in response.

"Hey, hey, hey? This isn't very... not very good, right?"

Although she said this, Mei Terumi's feet seemed to be out of control and she walked towards the house involuntarily.

At the same time, his eyes, which faintly revealed a hint of panic and shyness, kept glancing towards Zabuza who was standing beside him.

Jianchuan Ju, who was thinking about something in his head, did not notice the strange expression of Mei Terumi.

Seeing that the other party was just taking small steps towards the house, he grabbed Terumi Mei's right hand, which was still symbolically waving. At this time, Terumi Mei's mind was blank, and she didn't know what resistance was.

In this cold day in the Iron Kingdom, I could feel a faint heat rising from my head.

When Zabuza saw this, he was first extremely surprised, then he quickly covered his eye, turned around and left alone.

However, Jianchuan Ju, when he saw Zabuza turning around and about to leave, immediately called out to stop him.

"Zabuza, where are you going?"

Zabuza was about to take a step forward, but suddenly he froze in place and didn't move.

"Do you still want me to guard the door? No, this place is really crowded with people, so I really need to..."

Among the three people present, one was concentrating on thinking, one had a blank mind, and one had a scattered mind.

Jianchuan Ju spoke again.

"Why are you turning around? Come here and use your Byakugan to see if the chakra fluctuations of this mark are similar to those on the back of the Raikage's hand."

"Eh?" x2
The two people whose minds were originally in a mess finally came to their senses.

It was noticed that at some point, on the back of Terumi Mei's right hand that was grabbed by Jianchuan Tachibana, there appeared a strange yellow-green mark made up of three hexagons, like a beehive.

It was the 'recovery command' mark that Jianchuan Tachibana had just placed on Mei Terumi.

"What is this?"

"Your head, I told you to look at it, so you should look at it now!"

Without explaining to the two people whose brains were still a little confused, Jianchuan Ju directly urged them again.

Zabuza, who had come to his senses, immediately realized that he had probably misunderstood before, and decisively opened his Byakugan and stared at Mei Terumi's arm.

But after reading it, he shook his head slightly and spoke quickly.

"It's different. Your mark looks like it was painted on. There is no chakra fluctuation at all."

Hearing Zabuza's answer, Jianchuan Tachibana was not too surprised.

Then he cut a wound on his own arm and Mei Terumi's arm.

"What about this?"

As he spoke, Jianchuan Juben activated his ability of "reply command" and quickly healed the not-so-deep wounds for Mei Terumi and himself.

Mei Terumi also looked at her arm in surprise, feeling her wound being healed out of thin air, and then the chakra in her body disappeared out of thin air.

It was Zabuza, who had been observing carefully with his Byakugan open, who spoke again.

"When you were treating Ming, his condition was somewhat similar to that of the Raikage, but there was no obvious sign of energy flowing to the wound on the Raikage."

'Are they somewhat similar?'

Ignoring the two people who were still amazed at this new ninjutsu, Jianchuan Tachibana stroked his chin and thought silently.

Similar to the 'reply command', this instantly reminded him of Uchiha Hikaru's Mangekyō pupil technique 'Eight Thousand Spears', which was what he had been admiring when he first drew this skill.

"But since there is no chakra fluctuation when it is not activated, I guess I am overthinking it?"

"And the Eight Thousand Spears of Light transmit and extract chakra. If it is in effect, the change should be more obvious than the change of my mark. On the contrary, when it is not transmitting chakra, it should also be in a silent state."

"Should we try to test the Raikage again?"
