Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 573 Official Appointment
"Okay, everyone."

"I think the result of this fight is obvious, right?"

Jianchuan Ju looked at the several figures with unhappy expressions with a smile, but all of them were silent.

Perhaps because the cheers of the Kirigakure ninjas in the distance were a little too harsh, Kazekage Rasa simply snorted coldly, turned around and jumped off the ice wall where he was watching the battle.

On the contrary, Tsuchikage Ohnoki, who had also been looking unhappy before, let out a long sigh and then smiled again.

"The Kirigakure people are indeed young and promising, and the Mizukage is also very courageous!"

"I hope that in the future, this force can play its due role in the ninja world under the leadership of His Excellency Mizukage."

I don't know if it was intentional to provoke, but when Ōnoki spoke, he deliberately put emphasis on "Mizukage leadership" and "performance of the ninja world", causing the others to look at him strangely.

"Kisame Hoshigaki is a well-deserved jonin for the position of commander. From now on, the ninjas sent by Konoha will fully cooperate with his work in the maintenance force."

This sentence was said by Minato Namikaze.

Since the result is already decided, Minato Namikaze, who has a clear direction, will certainly not choose to deny it.

Instead, he made a very sincere assurance to Jianchuan Ju.

As for whether the Mizukage in front of him would believe his promise, Minato Namikaze didn't care.

After the two Kages had given affirmative answers, Jianchuan Ju turned his attention to the last Raikage Ai.

It is said that during the commander selection process this time, the Raikage remained very calm the entire time.

Logically speaking, at this time, Kumogakure was the only village that had not been attacked by the Zero Organization, and its two Jinchūriki were also "well protected".

It is normal that people do not pay much attention to this so-called "maintenance force".

only.
"That guy Obito didn't take the opportunity to cause trouble this time? He didn't really think that retreating to Turtle Island would be safe, did he? "

'What is he waiting for?'

He was guessing what the Zero Organization was planning in his mind, but on the surface, Jianchuan Ju still looked at the Raikage Ai with a smile.

Ai was a bachelor enough. He nodded directly and followed Luo Sha's example, jumping off the ice wall without saying a word.

Things became much simpler after that.

Because Hoshigaki Kisame had restrained himself when he was cleaning out those weaker ninjas before.

Jianchuan Ju directly released a large-scale "Wind of Recovery" to heal all the injured ninjas.

Although the two oldest people among them, one is Konoha's ten thousand-year-old ninja Maru Seikosuke, and the other is Konoha's top physical technique master Chen who previously released the "Konoha Dragon God", both of them felt as if their bodies were a little empty after receiving treatment.

However, others did not know the principle of the "Wind of Revival", and Jianchuan Ju's move actually brought goodwill to the Hidden Mist Village.

Afterwards, the inauguration ceremony of Hoshigaki Kisame was also very simple. Yahiko, the representative of the small ninja village, together with the five Kage, issued the official appointment.

In the two years that followed, Hoshigaki Kisame nominally had the supreme command of this maintenance force.

The leaders of the six ninja villages then took this opportunity to discuss and define the general powers within the unit. Uchiha Fugaku became the deputy commander of the maintenance unit without any surprise.

The other three ninja villages' jonin were also symbolically assigned nominal positions such as staff officer, intelligence officer, and instructor, which just sounded nice but were actually useless.

On the contrary, the senior ninja 'Pain' disguised as Nagato, the representative of Amegakure, is neutral in nature because he does not belong to the five major ninja villages.

Finally, he was appointed as the logistics officer of the maintenance and coordination force, a relatively powerful position.

After a busy period of work and reaffirming the purpose of establishing the maintenance force with the main goal of combating the Zero Organization, the shadows from each village chose to return to their own villages.

Jianchuan Ju himself really wanted to stay for a few more days to see how Hoshigaki Kisame planned to train the ninjas from other ninja villages.

Unfortunately, he also had a lot of things to do in the Hidden Mist Village, so he simply chose to leave the base with several other shadows.

However, before leaving, Uchiha Fugaku and Yahiko still found an opportunity to use the "Phantom Body Technique" to make a private contact with Jianchuan Tachibana.

There was nothing major going on with Yahiko. He mainly discussed the future development direction of the Hidden Rain Village with the 'senior village chief', Jianchuan Tachibana.

According to Yahiko's idea, he planned to first reduce the support of some of the daimyos of the Rain Country for the Hidden Rain Village.

Strengthen the intelligence capabilities of the Hidden Rain Village, and after finding out what the other ninja villages think of the Rain Country, which has now become a neutral country, slowly make changes.

Although Jianchuan Ju didn't think it was necessary, this was after all an internal matter of the Hidden Rain Village. He just made a few suggestions and didn't get involved too much.

Instead it was Uchiha Fugaku's side.

Through this spy, I explained to him why he took the initiative to reveal his Mangekyō Sharingan in this battle for commander.

It turned out that just before the Konoha team set out this time, Minato Namikaze and Danzo Shimura took the initiative to find him.

He pointed out the existence of the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō Sharingan, and hoped that he could exert all his strength to win the position of commander of this force for Konoha.

However, the reason why the Konoha high-ranking officials could guess that he possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan was actually because of the 'death' of his two sons, Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke, which was arranged by Uchiha Fugaku himself.

As the disciple of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, who has been keeping an eye on the Uchiha clan all his life, Danzo Shimura already has some understanding of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

He even knew about the existence of Susanoo, the secret technique of Mangekyo.

As a result, Uchiha Fugaku had to admit the fact that he had "just" awakened the Mangekyō.

But even so, in the previous battle, Uchiha Fugaku did not use the exclusive ability of his Mangekyō Sharingan, and in fact he still had some reservations.

Of course, in Jianchuan Ju's opinion, even if Uchiha Fugaku fought with all his strength, relying solely on his hugely burdened Mangekyō, he would most likely not be a match for Hoshigaki Kisame in Sage Mode.

After figuring out the whole story, Jianchuan Tachibana could roughly guess why Namikaze Minato attached so much importance to the command of this army, but he didn't care too much about Uchiha Fugaku's previous actions.

On the contrary, it was because of the fighting power he displayed that Hoshigaki Kisame's victory was more meaningful.

After giving him a few simple instructions, asking him to cooperate with Hoshigaki Kisame in his future work and not to expose himself in Konoha, he officially set out on the journey back to the Hidden Mist Village.

"Speaking of which, from now on, we should be able to have some peace and stability, right?"
