Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 525 Come and watch the show
"Let's go~ Elder Yuanshi, Teacher Qing, you have worked hard in the village."

Jianchuan Tachibana took his Mizukage hat with a smile, greeted Hoshigaki Kisame, and ran out of the Mizukage's office.

Only Elder Yuanshi and Qing were left, looking at the pile of new work left by their own Mizukage, each of them in a mess.

"How is it, Kisame? We haven't been on a mission together for a long time. Do you feel anything different?"

Jianchuan Tachibana took the lead and stepped out of the gate of the Hidden Mist Village. Then he looked at Hoshigaki Kisame who was following behind him and seemed a little silent, and asked with a smile.

Jianchuan Tachibana has grown rapidly in height in the past two years and is now over 1.7 meters tall. However, when standing next to Hoshigaki Kisame, who is over 1.9 meters tall, he is still a head shorter.

But perhaps it is because of the identity of Mizukage, or because Jianchuanju himself possesses the characteristic of "sense of oppression".

So at this moment, his momentum does not seem to be weaker than Hoshigaki Kisame.

After hearing the question from Tachibana Jiangawa, Kisame Hoshigaki had no idea what he was thinking about, and he changed from the bloodthirsty and cold attitude of the former deputy minister of the Anbu, and showed a rare and very gentle smile on his face, and replied with a mouth full of small fangs.

"Yes, it's been a long time, Mizukage-sama. Thank you for your guidance along the way."

Seeing that Hoshigaki Kisame started to be polite again for no apparent reason, Jianchuan Tachibana smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Can you give me more advice? You're talking as if we don't see each other often. How's your Sage Mode training going?"

Jianchuan Ju often practices with his subordinates in the Kirigakure. Although Hoshigaki Kisame's work in the Anbu is much busier than that of the Shadow Guard like Zabuza, he always gets guidance from Jianchuan Ju from time to time in his spare time.

For example, when it came to the latest Sage Mode training, a move that required a huge amount of chakra as a prerequisite, Jianchuan Ju was the first person he thought of teaching it to Kisame.

However, after hearing the question from Jianchuan Tachibana, Hoshigaki Kisame showed a slight look of shame on his face.

"Thank you for your concern, Mizukage-sama. Perhaps it's because I don't have enough talent. So far, there hasn't been much progress."

Jianchuan Ju couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw Kisame's expression.

"I just asked casually. It's only been a few days. It's normal that there is no progress."

"Let's go. This time I'll take you to get familiar with the communication between ninjas from other villages."

The main reason for bringing Hoshigaki Kisame out this time is because he will be arranged to join the five-village joint maintenance force later.

Jianchuan Tachibana just took this opportunity to let Kisame get familiar with how to strike the scale of communication between ninjas from other villages.

As for the combat capability, with Jianchuan Ju alone there, he didn't give much thought to the possible battles.

On the contrary, because this trip was more of a viewing experience and there was no real goal to be achieved, we felt a lot more relaxed.

If he encounters someone from the Zero Organization taking action, letting Kisame make contact with them first would be a good opportunity to understand the enemy.

As for Zabuza and Mei Terumi, the two genuine members of the Shadow Guard.

Considering that the two had gained some insights after being taken out before, Jianchuan Ju simply left them in the village to practice well, and this time he only took Hoshigaki Kisame with him.

However, Jianchuan Tachibana, who had just taken two steps, seemed to remember something. He suddenly stopped again and spoke to Hoshigaki Kisame beside him.

"Kisame, after you finish reporting to the maintenance team, you will be transferred out of the Anbu first, right?"

"The missions on the Anbu side are too depressing. It's not a good idea to stay there for a long time."

Hoshigaki Kisame was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked hesitantly.

"Mizukage-sama, is there something I am not doing enough work on?"

"Haha, don't think too much. I just feel that you should be more cheerful, Kisame. When the time comes, take some time to guide the newcomers and let them feel the vibrant side of the village. Maybe I can even introduce you to a wife or something~" Hoshigaki Kisame, who had long been accustomed to the teasing of his own Mizukage, subconsciously ignored the second half of Jianchuan Tachibana's words and just murmured a little at a loss.

"The energetic side?"

However, Jianchuan Tachibana had already taken big strides and walked away, without hearing Kisame's mumbling.

Looking at Jianchuan Tachibana's back as he walked into the sunlight, Hoshigaki Kisame then noticed the bustling scene at the village gate, with people coming and going.

The smile on his face seemed to become a little gentler.

"It seems that a village like this is indeed something you need to experience, Doctor Tachibana."

After whispering this, Hoshigaki Kisame didn't care whether Jianchuan Tachibana heard it or not, and he also took a step and quickly followed.

Since this time it is just a ceasefire negotiation between Konoha and Kumogakure, the scale will naturally not be as formal as the previous Five Kage Summit.

However, due to the previous war between the two villages, many ninja troops from both sides still remained at the front line and were on guard.

Compared to the meeting with the Five Kage, the atmosphere was more solemn and murderous.

On the surface, the Hidden Cloud Village seemed to have become more obedient. Although in the previous surprise attack, the large army even directly attacked the heartland of the Fire Country. But after learning that the two sides were about to sign a ceasefire agreement, they actually chose to withdraw from the Fire Country.

The Kumogakure army withdrew its troops directly to the original Yu no Kuni camp.

As for Konoha, the front-line troops also returned to the Land of Hot Springs in the past few days.

The location of the peace talks was naturally set within the borders of the Kingdom of Tang, in the middle of where the two camps were not too far away.

Konoha is naturally happy to see this happen.

As for the Kingdom of Soup, the previous wars between the two sides were all fought within the territory of the Kingdom of Soup. Now that it is just a negotiation, no one will care about their ideas.

As for why the Hidden Cloud Sect was so decisive in giving up the occupied territory before the negotiations, it is estimated that only a few "Hidden Cloud Sect senior officials" know the real reason.

But these things are not very important to Jianchuanju.

Since only he and Hoshigaki Kisame were traveling this time, they traveled light.

Therefore, before the armistice negotiations officially began, Jianchuan Ju arrived near the negotiation site early.

However, it seems that this time the negotiations were conducted for security reasons, not inside any building, but on a simple stage-like structure temporarily built by the two parties.

Even the negotiators had not come at this time, only a few ninjas from Konoha and Kumogakure were stationed here.

Jianchuan Ju, who arrived early, couldn't just sit in this open-air venue and wait for the negotiations to begin.

Logically speaking, as an ally of Konoha and a 'belligerent party' of Kumogakure, Jianchuan Tachibana must go to the Konoha camp to rest for a while first.

However, before the ninjas from Konoha could step forward and talk to the Mizukage, Jianchuan Tachibana, and invite him to the camp.

Jianchuan Ju's eyes rolled around, and he looked towards the direction of the Hidden Cloud Camp on the right with a sly smile.

"Ahem~ As witnesses to this peace talk, we from Kirigakure shouldn't show too obvious bias."

"Since Konoha and our Kirigakure are allies, I'd better go to Kumogakure first before the peace talks officially begin~"
