Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 605: Change of term selection?

In response to the visitor's whispered reminder, Jianchuan Ju did not move immediately, but instead asked softly in a gentle tone.

"Are you used to life in Kirigakure?"

Hearing Jianchuan Ju's concern, Uchiha Fugaku's face under the mask also revealed a smile that could not be concealed.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Jianchuan. The entire Kirigakure Village is filled with a sense of prosperity, and the villagers do not despise outsiders like us, the Kurosaki clan. Neither I nor those clan members have ever felt this sense of security."

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's answer, Jianchuan Tachibana was not too surprised.

Without the shackles of the name "Uchiha", the attitude of the Kurosaki clan towards others has changed to a certain extent.

Those clansmen who had been carefully selected by Uchiha Fugaku were not the type to cause trouble, so naturally they would not take the initiative to offend the original villagers of the Hidden Mist Village.

The various families in the Hidden Mist Village were very happy about the sudden emergence of Kurosaki, a new ninja clan that was constantly growing and had "wandering clan members" returning from time to time.

Although there may be some little thoughts secretly.

But the Hidden Mist Village is currently in a period of rapid development, and it is not yet at the stage where there is not enough cake to share.

In addition, with the overt and covert support given by Jianchuanju, all competition is still in a benign environment.

also.

The current head of the Kurosaki clan, Kurosaki Hikaru, is suspected to have a close relationship with the Fourth Mizukage, and various rumors have long been spreading in the Hidden Mist Village.

Therefore, there are really not many people who would take the initiative to offend this not-so-big "esoteric family" for some insignificant benefits.

Just as Uchiha Fugaku said.

These Uchiha who have gained a new life are very satisfied with the long-lost stable life now that they are free from strange looks from others.

"Where's Shisui? How's that boy adjusting?"

Unlike other clansmen who had been selected by Uchiha Fugaku, these people had actually received more or less hints from Uchiha Fugaku before, and their personalities and ideas were also among those who could understand the change of course.

But Uchiha Shisui actually doesn't quite meet Uchiha Fugaku's criteria for 'selecting people'.

It's not that Shisui has a bad personality, but because he belongs to the extremely rare 'Konoha faction' within the Uchiha clan.

Perhaps it was because he had been determined to reconcile the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha since he was a child.

Uchiha Shisui, who put a lot of effort into this, was very disappointed with Konoha and his clan members after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, but he still couldn't accept the act of "betraying Konoha".

This is also the reason why Uchiha Fugaku specially transferred him from Konoha Village to the maintenance force for "careful teaching".

However, now that Uchiha Shisui has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he has become the third best master in the Kurosaki clan.

Even though the incident happened suddenly, neither Uchiha Fugaku nor Jianchuan Tachibana could continue to let him wander around.

Fortunately
"That attack and the process of awakening the Mangekyō had a great impact on Shisui. Now he seems to hate his Uchiha identity. Changing his sect is actually a more acceptable outcome for him."

As he spoke, a hint of worry flashed in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes. Even he was a little frightened by the madness of those rebels.

However, when he thought about the increasingly better situation in the clan, he temporarily put this worry behind him.

Seeing what Uchiha Fugaku was thinking, Jianchuan Tachibana smiled and joked.

"Okay, don't think too much about it. Take care of your two little ones when you have time."

Uchiha Fugaku's face immediately turned red when he heard this. He still remembered vividly the time when Uchiha Itachi held little Sasuke in his arms when he first returned to the Kurosaki clan and said "Hello, uncle" politely as soon as they met.

Seeing Uchiha Fugaku hesitating and not knowing how to respond, Jianchuan Tachibana stopped teasing him.

He stood up, brushed off the grass beneath him, and called Uchiha Fugaku to go and meet up with the others.

But before leaving, Jianchuan Ju looked at the little orange dragon that was still making trouble in the distance, and thought secretly in his heart.

"A fire-attribute Pokémon would be a good choice for the Uchiha clan, right?"

"But should I give it to Shisui or Itachi?"

The journey of several days passed in a flash.

Compared to the time two years ago when he brought dozens of ninjas to the maintenance force base, Jianchuan Tachibana did not have many people accompanying him this time.

After all, the Kirigakure Village, which had served as the commander for one term, has lost the opportunity to compete for this position, so the people from Kirigakure came this time with more of a bystander mentality.

Moreover, the Zero Organization had suffered two consecutive blows before, but there had been no follow-up actions.

In addition, we have completely lost contact with Orochimaru, the "insider" in recent times.

Therefore, Jianchuan Ju's vigilance towards Uchiha Obito has been raised by several levels.

This time when the team went out, all of Kirigakure's top combat forces stayed in the village.

Even for Hoshigaki Kisame, Jianchuan Tachibana was going to take him back to the village after the selection of the maintenance force.

But these are all later stories.

Jianchuan Ju walked slowly into the maintenance base, and the first thing that caught his eye was Namikaze Minato's increasingly sad face.

Looking at the extremely haggard Minato Namikaze in front of him, who seemed to have aged by ten years, Jianchuan Ju couldn't help but mourn for him silently in his heart for a few seconds.

Konoha today is at its weakest in history.

Even compared to Konoha of the same period in the original work, it is not much stronger.

Although the top combat force has been strengthened by the presence of Minato Namikaze, a powerful figure who is also the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

However, the number of ordinary ninjas who suffered consecutive heavy losses may even be less than that during the period just after the Third World War.

In terms of economy and influence, it has been crushed into pieces by the now prosperous Mist Village.

No wonder the once high-spirited Minato Namikaze is like this now.

Naturally, Jianchuan Ju had no interest in touching someone's wound at this time. He just nodded slightly to Namikaze Minato and turned to walk towards Yahiko, who was truly in high spirits.

However, just because Jianchuan Ju is not interested in doing something doesn't mean that others are not interested either.

The Kazekage Rasa, who arrived right after him, took advantage of his foul mouth as soon as he saw Namikaze Minato.

"Hehe, I heard there was a rebellion in Konoha some time ago?"

"The Uchiha clan was a meritorious family that founded Konoha together with the Senju clan. Even such a family can choose to rebel. It seems that compared with Kirigakure, Konoha is indeed not worthy of the title of the strongest ninja village!"
