Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 559: Do you want to be given a family?

Uchiha Fugaku naturally would not have any objection to Jianchuan Tachibana's arrangement.

This is just the first batch of people. More Uchiha clan members who have passed his review will be transferred to the Hidden Mist Village in the future.

It is indeed necessary to establish a new family to cover up one's tracks.

Afterwards, the two of them briefly discussed the issue of personnel transfer.

Originally Jianchuan Ju was about to end the call, but Uchiha Fugaku interrupted him again.

"By the way, Lord Jianchuan, at the Konoha Jonin meeting yesterday, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze assigned the Hyuga clan leader a mission that he refused. I think I might be able to fight for it."

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju stopped planning to hang up the call with some confusion and looked at Uchiha Fugaku.

Although he didn't know what task Namikaze Minato had arranged for him that was worthy of him reporting to him with such importance, Jianchuan Tachibana still gave him an inquiring look, motioning for Uchiha Fugaku to continue.

Seeing this, Uchiha Fugaku began to explain again.

"Namikaze Minato hoped that the current Hyuga clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi, could represent Konoha in the maintenance force to be jointly established by the five villages. However, he rejected the request on the spot, saying that after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, there were too many trivial matters in the clan. After that, Namikaze Minato put the matter on hold for the time being."

"If Lord Jianchuan needs anything, I can propose to Minato Namikaze that I replace Hiashi Hinata and join this army."

"Eh?"

After listening to this, Jianchuan Ju looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a strange expression. He didn't expect that the other party would talk about this matter.

"Why would Patriarch Fugaku think that I would want you to join the maintenance force?"

"I heard that the establishment of this unit was proposed by Master Jianchuan at the Five Kage Summit. I believe that Master must have his own plans. If I can join it on behalf of Konoha, it should be helpful to Master. Of course, whether I need to join or not depends entirely on Master's arrangement."

After hearing Uchiha Fugaku's explanation, Jianchuan Tachibana nodded slightly.

This matter is actually not difficult to guess. Not only him, but the senior executives of several other companies must have their own little thoughts.

Moreover, if there are more "our own people" in the maintenance and mobilization force, the subsequent operations will indeed be more convenient.

But Jianchuan Ju still asked with some surprise.

"Why did Minato Namikaze think of assigning this task to Hyuga Hiashi?"

However, as soon as he asked this question, Jianchuan Ju himself reacted.

I guess Konoha really doesn't have much manpower available right now.

It is impossible for the Hokage Minato Namikaze to abandon the village and join the maintenance force.

After Jiraiya leaves the Hidden Rain Village, he should go to find Tsunade who is "traveling" outside.

However, even if these two people returned to Konoha, Jiraiya's personality of not wanting to be Hokage meant that it was impossible for him to compete for the position of commander of any maintenance force.

Tsunade's hemophobia has most likely not been resolved yet.

Apart from these three Kage-level warriors, the only ones left in Konoha are the clan leaders of each clan, who are the elite among the jonin. It is probably that Minato Namikaze had no choice but to choose Hinata Hiashi.

"Well, no, that's not the way to say it."

Jianchuan Ju suddenly realized that he seemed to have not taken the Kage-level strongman seriously enough.

No one's Kage-level master is a cabbage. Even if they all have their own plans, how could they just send Kage-level masters to explore the way for a joint organization like the maintenance force, whose future is still uncertain.

"But why not Hyuga Hizashi? The strength of these two brothers should not be much different, right?"

This time, it was Uchiha Fugaku's turn to look a little strange.

After hearing Jianchuan Ju's question, Uchiha Fugaku cautiously reminded, "Master Jianchuan is talking about the twin brother of the Hyuga clan leader, right? He died at the hands of the rioting Nine-Tails on the night of the Nine-Tails."

"Is he already dead?"

Jianchuan Ju looked at Uchiha Fugaku in some surprise.

He really didn't pay much attention to such trivial matters among the information collected by Kirigakure.

"Is there any inevitable causal relationship between the death of Hinata Hizashi and the peace talks between Leihuo and the Thunder Fire?"

After complaining a little in his heart, Jianchuan Ju also understood why among so many clan leaders, he chose Hinata Hiashi.

"However, even though his own brother died indirectly because of the turmoil caused by the Zero Organization, Hyuga Hiashi still chose to give up revenge and refused to join the maintenance force."

"I don't know whether I should say that Hinata Hiashi is rational or too cold-blooded."

Putting aside the complaints about Hinata Hiashi, Jianchuan Tachibana returned to the previous topic.

"As for joining the maintenance and coordination force, you can just give it a try. There's no need to force it."

"After the previous chaos, I think you, the clan leader, are still needed within the Uchiha clan, and Minato Namikaze may not be willing to let you leave the village for a long time."

"As for the maintenance and coordination forces, I have other helpers. There is no need to disrupt your own rhythm for this matter."

It is now clear that Uchiha Fugaku had just lost two of his biological sons, and the act was done by someone within the Uchiha clan.

Without him as the clan leader to take charge, there might be some trouble.

Joining the maintenance and coordination force is not a job that can be completed in a few days like ordinary tasks.

Even if Uchiha Fugaku himself doesn't care, the Konoha high-level officials represented by Namikaze Minato will definitely have to be careful in dealing with it, and they may not necessarily agree to let him run around.

Of course, Uchiha Fugaku's information is not completely useless.

Knowing that Konoha has "fallen" to the point where it has to arrange for Hyuga Hiashi to join the maintenance force, it seems that the replacement candidate cannot be much stronger.

It doesn’t matter whether Uchiha Fugaku is involved or not.

However, Uchiha Fugaku still bowed respectfully and spoke softly.

"The needs of Lord Jianchuan are naturally far more important than those of the entire Uchiha."

Seeing how sincere he was, Jianchuan Ju simply didn't bother to be polite with him any more. He just said a few words of encouragement and officially ended the call.

Only after Uchiha Fugaku's figure completely disappeared from his sight did Jianchuan Tachibana shake his head helplessly.

"Why do I feel that this Uchiha Fugaku is a bit too servile? Could it be that this guy really has the Mangekyō Sharingan that can foresee the future as speculated in the fan fiction?"

'Forget it, if he can really see it, this attitude is actually a good sign for me.'

He shook his head gently to get rid of the unrealistic speculations in his mind.

Seeing Hoshigaki Kisame being beaten down by Lanzai again, Jianchuan Ju lost interest in continuing to train with them here.

He waved his hand to signal several disciples that their training for the day was over and asked them to go to the Mizukage Building to take up their tasks.

Jianchuan Ju whispered to Uchiha Guang who was standing beside him.

"Hikari, do you want me to build a new family for you in Kirigakure?"
