Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 532: Night of the Nine-Tailed Fox (V)

at the same time.

In the Land of Hot Springs, the negotiations between Konoha and Kumogakure still made no progress.

Jianchuan Ju, the bystander, was yawning out of boredom.

Hoshigaki Kisame, who was standing behind him, wanted to remind him, but due to the occasion and his status, he finally chose to pretend not to see and remained silent.

But at this moment, Jianchuan Ju, whose attention was not on the armistice negotiations, moved his ears slightly and subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the Konoha camp.

Although other people are not as leisurely as Jianchuan Ju to care about the surrounding situation, many of them have better perception abilities than Jianchuan Ju.

The negotiations on the field suddenly stopped, and everyone looked in the direction of Jianchuan Ju's gaze.

And in that direction, Nara Shikaku, who was usually very steady and calm, was speeding towards this side with a grim look on his face.

When Minato Namikaze saw this, his expression changed slightly.

He naturally knew why Nara Shikaku did not participate in the armistice negotiations today.

So when he saw Nara Shikaku appear, Namikaze Minato didn't care what other people thought, and he appeared next to Nara Shikaku in an instant.

"Something happened in the village?"

Hearing Namikaze Minato's anxious tone, Nara Shikaku's expression froze.

But he still spoke in a low voice with a somewhat dry voice.

"The village has sent an urgent report that someone has launched an attack on the village. The Nine-Tailed Fox has escaped and is wreaking havoc in the village. Please return immediately for support."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nara Shikaku suddenly felt that the temperature around him seemed to drop by more than ten degrees.

Looking up, the usually gentle and sunny Fourth Hokage now had an icy murderous look on his face.

Nara Shikaku naturally knew why this happened. As the advisor to the Hokage of Konoha, he knew very well that the departure of the tailed beast from the body was basically equivalent to death for the Jinchūriki.

"fire"

But before Nara Shikaku could say the words of comfort he had prepared on the way here, he urged Namikaze Minato to remain calm.

"Shua~" sound.

Flying Thunder God activates.

The figure of Minato Namikaze has disappeared in front of Nara Shikaku.

Nara Shikaku subconsciously looked back, but he could no longer see the figure of Namikaze Minato.

However, he also knew that Minato Namikaze did not directly use Flying Thunder God to return to Konoha.

Given the distance between the Land of Hot Springs and Konoha, even if Minato left multiple Flying Thunder God coordinates on the way here, he would inevitably consume most of his chakra after returning to Konoha.

"Fortunately, I was prepared in advance, and fortunately, I still have the reverse spiritualism technique!"

Just as Nara Shikaku was thinking this, the other people participating in the peace talks saw the Hokage suddenly disappear and quickly came to his side.

Jianchuan Ju was the first to ask.

"Master Nara, the Hokage suddenly left. What's going on?"

When Nara Shikaku heard the voice, he turned around and saw the gentle face of Jianchuan Tachibana.

However, he did not answer Jianchuan Ju's question immediately. After his eyes passed over his face, he looked at the Fourth Raikage Ai, who had also rushed over with a serious expression and did not say a word.

Then he slowly spoke, with a hint of sincere gratitude in his tone.

"Thank you for your concern, Mizukage-sama. I just received information that an unknown person has launched an attack on Konoha. Hokage-sama has already rushed back to provide support."

"Really? Minato has already rushed back?"

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju looked towards the direction of Konoha and spoke to Hoshigaki Kisame behind him as if no one was around.

"Kisame, wait for me here at the Konoha camp. I'll go to Konoha to see if I can help." When the people around heard what Jianchuan Ju said, they all looked at each other in surprise.

You know, this place is far away from the Konoha headquarters. Even if a senior ninja who is good at physical skills runs at full speed, it will take one or two days to get there.

This Mizukage said he was going to help, but by the time he got there the so-called attack would have been over. I'm afraid he can only go and watch Konoha make a fool of itself, right?
Nara Shikaku obviously thought the same thing.

But before he could say anything to dissuade them.

A pair of transparent green wings suddenly opened behind Jianchuanju.

As the pair of huge wings flapped violently, the surging air waves instantly blew all the people around them away half a step.

And Jianchuan Ju himself was like a sharp arrow, shooting rapidly into the air.

The people below had just come to their senses from the smoke and dust when they saw Jianchuan Ju, who was slightly hovering in the air, and the pair of green wings behind him suddenly doubled in size again.

As the wings flapped rapidly, invisible air waves actually created circles of circular ripples in the air.

In the blink of an eye, Jianchuan Ju's figure disappeared, leaving only a series of slowly dissipating tiny afterimages in the sky.

Nara Shikaku somewhat foolishly withdrew his gaze from the sky and looked at Hoshigaki Kisame, who had a calm face, as if he had already been accustomed to it. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

However, what no one noticed was.

An inconspicuous figure following behind the Raikage took advantage of the Raikage's body to secretly blend his feet into the ground a few centimeters thick and sent a message to the outside.

"Direction 4, flying straight towards Konoha."

This news has just been released.

Far away in the territory of the Fire Country, in an inconspicuous forest, a pale figure was shaking slightly, with waves of light and shadows entwined around it.

The next moment, the white figure opened his eyes again and had transformed into a cold-looking black-haired girl.

In the sky, I could feel the air whistling past my ears.

Watching the scenery of the earth beneath my feet rapidly receding behind me.

Jianchuan Ju felt an indescribable sense of joy in his heart.

To be honest, Jianchuan Ju himself had never flown at full speed like this before.

For Jianchuan Ju, when he is not in a hurry to travel, he basically just "runs like a ninja" on the ground. When he really needs to arrive quickly, he often chooses to "transform" into White Zetsu and travel through the earth by relying on the "Mayfly Technique".

If he wasn't in a hurry to go to Konoha to watch the show today, and it was not convenient to perform the "Mayfly Technique" in front of so many people, Jianchuan Ju might not have thought of flying to travel.

The wings fluttered again.

'Float' is fully activated.

The speed, which was already close to the limit, increased again.

The water vapor in the air in front of him was squeezed into a cone-shaped white mist by the rapid impact. A huge roar exploded in the air, and circles of white ring-shaped air currents were left behind by Jianchuan Ju in the blink of an eye.

“————Haha, cool!”

Jianchuan Ju laughed wildly in the air, but the sound seemed to be left behind by him.

Only the muffled sound faintly coming from inside his skull proved how carefree and happy he was at that moment.

But the next moment.

Jianchuan Ju, who was enjoying the thrill of rapid flight in the air, felt the long-lost alarm sound from the 'danger prediction' in his mind.

An extremely huge bright red transparent arm suddenly rose from the ground.

Without any warning, it blocked Jianchuan Ju's flight path.
