Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 574 Protecting Water.? !
Inside Kirigakure Village.

This time, Jianchuan Ju's return to the village was still not too grand.

The establishment of the maintenance force and Hoshigaki Kisame becoming the commander may be a relatively important thing for the top leaders of each village.

However, for the lower-class villagers and even the ninjas, it was at most a topic of conversation after dinner.

"The village is becoming more and more powerful. Master Kisame really makes us proud in the blood mist."

After just a few simple discussions, everyone returned to their daily lives.

Therefore, Jianchuan Ju returned to the village in a low profile. He went to the Mizukage's office and talked to Elder Yuanshi and Qing for a few words. Then he gave himself a day off and went home to rest.

However, as soon as the door was opened.

Jianchuan Ju saw that there were two girls, one big and one small, in the house, whispering to each other about something.

On the table in front of the two people, there was a pile of melon seeds, snacks and other food neatly arranged.

Lanzai and Xiaoji were also sitting around the table, staring with their big eyes, listening to the conversation between the two girls with great interest.

"Is this a tea party at home while I'm away?"

Seeing these guys so focused on their work, Jianchuan Ju couldn't help but smile.

But what made him a little strange was.

At this moment, it was obvious that the little girl, who was only five or six years old, was speaking, while the other older girl, on the contrary, looked like a primary school student listening to a lecture, nodding her head and agreeing with something.

"Hey, is Guang giving advice to that little girl Uchiha Izumi again?"

"You are still so young, but you don't practice well. You just want to follow Uchiha Itachi every day."

Uchiha Hikaru had a good relationship with Uchiha Izumi, and he often acted as her military advisor and gave her advice on how to pursue Uchiha Itachi. Jianchuan Tachibana had known about this for a long time.

But I didn’t expect that this time the two little guys would come to my house to discuss it.

However, after seeing Lan Zai listening with great interest, Jianchuan Ju understood what was going on.

Although his mansion was nominally the Mizukage's residence, it actually did not hide any secrets. The truly confidential things had long been placed in the 'secret space' by Jianchuan Ju.

So Jianchuanju never refused Lanzai's request to bring his friends home to play.

Disciples like Saigyouji Kabuto, his companions like Zabuza and Mei Terumi, and the Uchiha Hikaru in front of him, are all frequent visitors to Jianchuan Tachibana's house.

"But this Uchiha Izumi's social skills are really amazing. In the original book, why didn't I see her really win over Uchiha Itachi?"

Looking at Uchiha Izumi in front of him, Jianchuan Ju thought of the "CP" of Hoshigaki Kisame in his mind again.

The little girl named Miru was also forced by Jianchuan Tachibana into the maintenance force, serving as Hoshigaki Kisame's assistant, doing some errands within her ability.

'I don't know if those two can create any sparks.'

Perhaps because he was back home, Jianchuan Ju felt relaxed instinctively. He was lost in thought and did not try to hide the sound of his footsteps.

A few guys who were chatting enthusiastically were suddenly startled when they heard someone coming in.

I turned around suddenly and immediately saw Jianchuan Ju walking into the house.

Uchiha Izumi didn't have much contact with Jianchuan Tachibana, and he was extremely nervous at the moment. He took the initiative to greet her with a trembling voice.

"Shuishui. The shadow of the water is huge."

Before Uchiha Izumi could finish his sentence, Uchiha Hikaru, who was also a little nervous after seeing Jianchuan Tachibana, seemed to have thought of something, and his beautiful big eyes suddenly rolled around.

There was no change in her facial expression, but a sound came out of her mouth that sounded sickeningly sweet.

"Ju, you're back~~"

As he spoke, Uchiha Hikaru stood up quickly like a young swallow returning to its nest, and with a thump, he crashed into Jianchuan Ju's arms.

Facing Uchiha Hikaru, who was completely different from his usual cold and aloof appearance, and suddenly bumped into his arms.

Jianchuan Ju felt a pain in his chest, as if he was struck by lightning, and froze in place.

For a moment, I didn't know where to put my hands.

On the contrary, Uchiha Hikaru in Jianchuan Ju's arms saw that Jianchuan Ju's reaction seemed to be different from the "textbook". Although it was a bit inexplicable, he immediately puffed up his little face and moved up and down and left and right like a bear rubbing against a tree. Zabuza, who was serving as Jianchuan Ju's guard and returning to the village with him, was supposed to stay at the door and wait.

However, after noticing a 'bang' sound coming from inside the house.

Although he didn't think there would be any danger with Jianchuan Ju's strength, he still pushed open the door and looked into the house with some doubts for the sake of fulfilling his duties.

As a result, when Zabuza saw this, he covered his face with his hands with a "snap" sound.

'It's over.'

Before he could even close the door.

The next moment, seeing Zabuza's actions, Mei Terumi, who also leaned forward, suddenly dilated her pupils and her brain went blank.

He stretched out a trembling hand and pointed at the two of them.

“You you you you guys!!!”

"what----"

A piercing screeching sound penetrated the roof.

Followed by.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

A dozen Anbu guarding the surrounding area instantly appeared in the room.

"Protect! The! Water!.!?!"

The whole place was in dead silence.
As a dozen or so ANBU were celebrating the standard masks of the Hidden Mist Village ANBU, Jianchuan Tachibana weakly raised his hand to wave them away.

Looking at the three girls kneeling obediently in a row in front of him, Jianchuan Ju sighed helplessly.

Mei Terumi on the left had a flushed face and kept her head down, not daring to speak. The single ponytail behind her head trembled.

Uchiha Izumi in the middle was trembling all over, with his eyes closed, waiting for the Mizukage to speak and give the punishment.

On the contrary, on the right, Uchiha Hikaru, the instigator, regained her usual cold expression and looked at Jianchuan Tachibana calmly, as if what happened just now had nothing to do with her.

"."

Jianchuan Ju almost wanted to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

On the other side, in the corner of the living room.

Zabuza couldn't stand or sit, so he could only move towards Lanzai in small steps.

Who would have known that before he could get close, Lan Zai suddenly turned into a cloud of white smoke with a "bang", and returned to the "secret space" with Xiao Ji.

However, in this quiet living room, the slight explosion from Lan Zai's return broke the tranquility.

"Light"

"Ok?"

Looking at Uchiha Hikaru who tilted his head and looked at him in confusion, Jianchuan Ju rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.

"Take that little bastard Quan back to the Kurosaki residence first."

Uchiha Hikaru was quite single-minded. He simply picked up Uchiha Izumi, who was about to speak, and ran out of the room.

"Forget it, you should go back. Be calmer next time."

Looking at Mei Terumi who was about to cry with her head down, Jianchuan Ju couldn't say anything harsh and could only let her go home and reflect on herself.

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi pursed her lips and muttered something like "Obviously it is", then stood up and left silently.

The last one left, Zabuza Momochi, was originally trying to tiptoe and sneak away behind Mei Terumi.

But then a voice as cold as the Netherworld came from behind.

"Zabuza, you seem to be a little slack in your training recently, right?!!"
