Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 554 Cooperation? Neutral Country?

Speaking of cooperating with Orochimaru in biological research, Jianchuan Tachibana actually had similar ideas before.

After all, he did have a lot of unused materials from Pokémon, such as 'Pidgeot's Feathers', 'Rattata's Whiskers', and 'Gremlins's Shed Skin'.

The abilities of the Hidden Mist Village, including himself, in biological research are average.

The only thing is that Jianchuan Ju himself doesn’t attach much importance to the research on these materials.

I had been collecting them before, and occasionally picked out some metal materials and gave them to Ichiro Shimotsuki to research and forge new weapons.

Most of the rest are kept in a 'secret space' to collect dust!
On the other hand, Jianchuan Ju didn't trust Orochimaru either.

The so-called cooperation between the two parties did not have much basis for trust.

Jianchuan Ju would rather these things not be useful than give them to Orochimaru, a potential enemy, for research.

After all, with Orochimaru's ability in this area, he might be able to use these materials to do something weird someday.

But now
Jianchuan Ju looked at the white material called "Branch of Xerneas" in his hand, and he began to feel a little moved.

"I definitely won't give the X-God branch to Orochimaru, but other inferior Pokémon materials can be used as conditions for cooperation. Let's see what results that guy can come up with."

There is no certainty in developing Jianchuan oranges independently.

However, if he had Orochimaru's research results as a reference, he would be confident that he could replicate it step by step.

"It seems that we need to deepen our relationship with Orochimaru from now on."

He was thinking about how to cooperate with Orochimaru and how to prevent this guy from causing any trouble for him.

Jianchuan Ju silently packed up all the white items this time.

Considering that there was a troublemaker named Xiaoji in the "Secret Space", Jianchuan Ju specially packed the "Branches of Xerneas" separately and stored them in a box.

Looking up, it was already late at night. Jianchuan Ju didn't bother with anything else. After taking care of the two little guys, he exited the 'secret space' and went home to rest.

The letters that Jianchuan Ju had previously asked the elder Yuanshi to send were delivered to the major ninja villages one after another.

Although the words in the letter were not as arrogant and straightforward as those written by Jianchuan Ju that day, the meaning of the Hidden Mist Village was clearly expressed.

The top leaders of each ninja village were either hesitant about this matter, or did not care at all, or were secretly planning, and so on.

However, they have also begun to speed up preparations for the establishment of the next maintenance and coordination force.

However, on this day, Nagato cautiously approached Jianchuan Tachibana and spoke in a low voice.

"Michiko-sama, I have something to discuss with you alone regarding Yahiko."

"Ok?"

Jianchuan Ju, who had gotten up early and was walking towards the Mizukage Building, looked at Nagato beside him with some confusion.

Nagato has been obsessed with taking care of the baby recently. Apart from occasionally serving as a guard for Jianchuan Tachibana, he has basically not been assigned any other tasks.

I didn't expect that the other party would come to me for something early this morning.

"Do you know what it is?"

Jianchuan Ju looked at Uchiha Hikari who was in a daze on the other side, motioned her to step back a little, and then continued to ask Nagato.

Nagato, who had long been accustomed to life in the Hidden Mist Village, did not hesitate and directly told Jianchuan Tachibana about the details.

It turned out that Jiraiya had seen Uchiha Obito possess the same Samsara Eye as Nagato during the Nine-Tails Night, and he was a little worried. So after completing the subsequent reconstruction of Konoha, he personally went to the Hidden Rain Village to understand the situation.

However, because Yahiko had an agreement with Jianchuan Tachibana, and the cooperation between the Rain Country and the Hidden Mist Village was always very harmonious, he chose to hide the fact that Nagato was alive from his teacher.

It only explains the incident of Uchiha Madara killing Nagato, as well as the subsequent events such as the assassination of the Akatsuki organization by Hanzo of the Salamander, and the counterattack by Yahiko and his men, who then took over the Hidden Rain Village, etc.

However, it is not known whether Jiraiya was touched by Yahiko's pretended desire for revenge, or whether Konoha had other plans.

Jiraiya actually chose to take the initiative to reveal to Yahiko that the five major ninja villages were preparing to form a "maintenance force."

Revealing this matter itself is nothing.

Yahiko, who had always been in contact with Jianchuan Tachibana, actually knew about this matter a long time ago.

However, during the conversation, Jiraiya suggested that he could, on behalf of Konoha, propose to the other four families to set up the headquarters of the maintenance force within the borders of the Rain Country.

It can also be regarded as a disguised way of seeking a neutral country status for the Rain Country.

However, regarding this matter, we still need to consult the opinion of Yahiko, the current leader of the Hidden Rain Village.

"Yahiko is a little hesitant about this matter now, so I would like to hear your opinion, Mizukage-sama."

After listening to Nagato's story, Jianchuan Tachibana lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

I've said it before.

Currently, the five major ninja villages have been deadlocked in their debate over the location of the headquarters of the maintenance and coordination force.

No matter which family it is placed in, it will not be recognized by other ninja villages.

The Iron Nation, a traditionally neutral country, also took a rejecting attitude towards this matter and did not want to place such a big target on its own territory.

Jianchuan Ju originally thought that if the stalemate continued in the end, the Hidden Mist Village would take a tougher stance and decide on the location of the site in Sea Mist City.

Although there are certainly certain risks, arranging a "Six Paths Avatar" to stay permanently can avoid most crises.

However, now, Konoha has come up with a new idea.

"But why would Konoha have such an idea?"

Jianchuan Ju frowned slightly, considering the feasibility of this matter, as well as the gains and losses of the Hidden Mist Village and even Konoha in this matter.

Different from the Iron Kingdom.

Due to the poor geographical location of the Rain Country, it has always been a war zone in the Ninja World.

Ever since the establishment of the one-country-one-village system, the Rain Country has never been able to completely get rid of the shadow of war.

Not to mention the Ninja Wars, a period when each clan was attacking each other.

Even in the days that could be called "peaceful times", the three great nations of Fire, Earth, and Wind never stopped infiltrating the Rain Kingdom.

During the period when Salamander Hanzo rose to prominence, he was able to barely intimidate the surrounding evil neighbors.

However, during the Second Ninja World War, the Hidden Rain Village, as the initiator of the war, made the situation of the Rain Country even more difficult.

As Hanzo gradually grew old and weak, the effect of this deterrent force continued to decline.

Now that Hanzo is dead, Konoha wants to persuade Iwagakure and Sunagakure to give up the piece of fat meat that is Rain Country and designate it as a neutral country?

difficult!
