Konoha: Opening Binding Namikaze Minato

Somewhere in the Kingdom of Water.

A middle-aged man dressed as a wandering warrior walked on the road and soon entered a small town.

The town is not too far from Kirigakure Village, and the population is not too large. In addition, it is approaching winter, and the commercial activities in the town have reduced a lot. There are only twos and threes of pedestrians on the streets, and they all look in a hurry.

Yanmen observed for a while, and then walked into an izakaya calmly.

There were many people gathered in the wine shop, and it seemed more lively than outside. Yanmen found a corner seat, ordered a drink and sat quietly.

At this moment, a few people nearby happened to be discussing Kirigakure quietly, so Yanmen quickly pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"Hey, have you heard? Something big seems to have happened in Kirigakure Village recently. The entire village is currently under martial law."

"Is there still such a thing?"

"Yes, I just came out of Kirigakure some time ago, and then I heard that Kirigakure Village was closed."

"Hey, do you know what happened? Xisuo!"

The man shook his head, "I don't know exactly what happened. I only know that Kirigakure Village currently strictly prohibits outsiders from entering, and at the same time, people inside are not allowed to come out."

"So strict? It seems like something really happened, and it's not a big deal."

Listening to the conversation of several people, Yanmen's expression remained as usual, but he had already begun to wonder in his heart, what was the reason that prompted Kirigakure to seal off the village?

Thinking about it is just a few points.

Just as Yanmen was deep in thought, suddenly a ninja dressed as an ANBU broke into the izakaya. He went straight to the people who had just discussed the issue of Kirigakure Village.

"Um?"

Yanmen sat up slightly. With a glance, he immediately recognized the person's identity. This was Kirigakure ANBU.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the Kirigakure Anbu taking away the people who were discussing. The izakaya fell into silence for an instant. Everyone drank the wine in their hands, then paid and left.

At the same time, Yan Men, who was sitting in the corner, had long disappeared.

······

Yanmen followed the Kirigakure ANBU all the way, and when he was halfway there, something unexpected happened to Yanmen.

I saw the Kirigakure ANBU suddenly take action, and several shurikens flew out, hitting several people's vital points accurately.

In the blink of an eye, those ordinary people who were still discussing information about Kirigakure in the izakaya were killed instantly.

Yanmen's eyelids twitched and his eyes became cold. Because the Kirigakure ANBU's attack was too sudden, even he didn't react immediately.

By the time Yanmen reacted, those ordinary people had already been killed.

He really didn't expect that this person would be so cruel. He thought he was going to take him to Kirigakure Village and imprison him, but he didn't expect that he would be taken halfway and silenced.

It was clear that what others were discussing was not confidential information, yet it ended up like this.

Now Yanmen finally understands why he has rarely received news about Kirigakure recently. The martial law in the village is only one aspect, and the other aspect may be related to the scene before him.

In order to block the news, the method must be too cruel.

Yanmen frowned secretly, then swayed and appeared behind the Kirigakure Anbu in an instant. The katana in his hand was not unsheathed, and he hit the opponent's neck with the scabbard.

With a bang, the Kirigakure ANBU fainted without even seeing the enemy.

Later, Yanmen used illusions to interrogate him, then killed him and put on his clothes.

Soon, a new Kirigakure Anbu was released.

Yanmen tiptoed, and his whole body quickly swept away into the distance.

About half an hour later, Yanmen arrived at Wuyin Village.

Because of his status as an Anbu, he was not blocked and easily entered Kirigakure Village.

After entering the village, Yanmen found that the atmosphere in the village was even more tense. There were not even a few living people on the streets in such a huge village.

After Yanmen felt it for a while, he realized that most people were hiding at home and did not dare to go out.

Even when he goes out, he walks in a hurry and returns to his residence soon.

As for the reasons, there are several.

From the ANBU just now, Yanmen learned that a lot of things had happened inside Kirigakure recently.

Since the Third Mizukage was redeemed from the village by Kirigakure, his reputation has plummeted. In addition, his serious injuries have not healed and his vitality has been overdrawn. This has led to undercurrents within Kirigakure and the major ninja clans are ready to take action.

Although there is a strong voice for Gotachibana Yagura to succeed the Fourth Mizukage, there are still many people who do not agree and also want to compete. Among them, the most fierce one is the Kaguya clan.

How intense is it? This family actually launched a rebellion!

The sudden rebellion of the Kaguya clan caught Kirigakure village by surprise and they were caught off guard from the beginning.

But it doesn't stop there. Kirigakure's strength is not something that just the Kaguya clan can shake.

And because of the character of the Kaguya clan, they have no allies in Kirigakure Village.

If a family challenges a village, isn't that just wishful thinking?

What the Uchiha clan couldn't do, it was even less possible for the Kaguya clan to do it. Soon the Kaguya clan's rebellion was put down.

But do you think this is the end?

Not long after the affairs of the Kaguya clan ended, the three-tailed Jinchuuriki suddenly went on a rampage in the village, causing great damage to Kirigakure and causing numerous casualties.

The Third Mizukage took action immediately, and after hearing the news, Goju Yagura came to join the battle to suppress the three tails.

After this battle, the Third Mizukage could no longer hold on and was about to die. At the same time, the three-tailed jinchuriki also died in this incident. Now there is an urgent need for a new three-tailed jinchuriki.

Later, Goju Yagura became the new three-tailed jinchuriki.

A few days after this, the Third Mizukage died. Before his death, he entrusted Kirigakure to Gotachibana Yagura and appointed the latter as the Fourth Mizukage, hoping that Gotachibana Yagura could lead Kirigakure to glory.

In this way, in less than a month, Kirigakure experienced three major events: the rebellion of the Kaguya clan, the rampage of the Three-Tails, and the replacement of the Mizukage.

It can be said that everything that happened above was a painful blow to Kirigakure, causing Kirigakure's strength to decline again.

In addition, not everyone was convinced when Goju Yagura came to power, so what followed was a scene of martial law in the entire village.

If nothing else, Kirigakure is currently undergoing a major purge, and anyone who tries to challenge the Mizukage will be suppressed.

Yanmen is now on a high building, overlooking the entire Wuyin Village. At this moment, he seems to see a bloody storm in his eyes.

······

Of course, no matter what happens inside Kirigakure Village, it has nothing to do with Yanmen. He came here this time just to confirm whether Kirigakure or Goju Yagura was controlled by anyone.

The next second, Yanmen's body gradually disappeared and merged into the night.

Soon Enmon arrived at the Mizukage Building, he sneaked into it secretly and found Goju Yagura's office.

It was almost late at night, but Goju Yagura was still dealing with official duties.

The current happenings within Kirigakure have made him so anxious that the Mizukage succession ceremony has not been held yet.

Goju Yagura was very angry, because the succession ceremony was not held for a day, and his reputation as the fourth Mizukage was not justified, even if he had the appointment of the previous Mizukage.

But right now, there really was no extra thought to hold a succession ceremony. Some ninjas were still trying to make a move. He had to eliminate these people before he could secure the position of Mizukage.

After thinking about it, Goju Yagura continued to handle official duties.

At the same time, Yanmen was observing carefully in secret. For this reason, he even changed into a reincarnation eye.

It's a pity that there is no white eye, otherwise it would be more convenient.

In this way, after observing for more than half an hour, Yanmen finally confirmed that Goju Yagura was not controlled by anyone.

While Yanmen breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Since Goju Yagura has not been controlled, it means that Black Zetsu and the others have given up on Kirigakure and currently do not know where they are hiding.

"It's hard to handle."

Yanmen murmured in his heart, and then left quietly. Soon he left the Mizukage Building, and then returned to Konoha directly through the Flying Thunder God.

Konoha was also silent late at night, and Yanmen fell asleep quickly after returning home.

A night of silence.

······

The next day.

Yanmen found Tsunade, who looked at Yanmen in surprise and said, "You came back so soon? What's the result?"

Yanmen nodded and said with a smile: "Everything is normal."

Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"But..." Yanmen changed the topic and recounted to Tsunade what happened in Kirigakure during this period.

After listening, Tsunade frowned slightly. She didn't care about Kirigakure's internal affairs. She was only worried about whether Kirigakure would refuse to participate in the joint chuunin exam they held because of these things.

The reason is actually very simple. With the internal instability, how could Goju Yagura leave the village and come to Konoha to participate in the Joint Chunin Examination.

Tsunade couldn't help but rub her temples. Kirigakure was currently in this situation, and Sunagakure was in another situation. At present, it seems that the probability of rejection by these two villages is very high.

Seeing that Tsunade was thinking, Enmon silently performed his duty as the captain of the ANBU directly under the Hokage.

······

Several days passed in a flash.

In the past few days, a major event has happened in the ninja world, that is, the battle between Sunagakure and Amegakure has ended.

Hanzo, who lost his intelligence advantage, was finally blocked by Sunagakure. Chiyo and Ebizo teamed up to defeat Hanzo and drive him out of the Kingdom of Wind.

At this point, all disputes in the ninja world stopped, and a rare period of peace ushered in.

At the same time, Sunagakure's Kazekage was also chosen, not Luosha or Ye Cang, but Mangu.

The ending is unexpected, but not completely unexpected. After all, Wangu had a greater chance of winning from the beginning.

When Yanmen heard the news, he sighed, well, even the Fourth Kazekage had been replaced.

In addition, Konoha also recently held a funeral for the Third Hokage and the ninjas who died on the battlefield during this period.

It was drizzling that day as always, and the village was immersed in a sad mood. After several years of war, Konoha lost more than 10,000 ninjas, which corresponded to tens of thousands of families.

Countless sad emotions gathered in the sky over Konoha, and many of them turned into hatred.

In the past, there was hatred between clans, but with the establishment of ninja villages, it turned into hatred between villages.

Looking at the commemorative monument, Yanmen was silent, but he thought to himself that it seemed he had to seize the time to study the reincarnation of the dirty land. He did not want the murder of the Third Hokage to be exposed one day, so he had to act first.

Soon, the funeral was over and everyone dispersed, leaving only Enmon, Kushina, Tsunade, Minato, Nasuki, Jiraiya and a few others.

Yes, after several days of recovery, Jiraiya was finally discharged from the hospital, but he still has lingering fears and does not even dare to come within five meters of Tsunade.

Yanmen secretly laughed at this.

While snickering, Enmon was also considering when to speak to Tsunade and ask Jiraiya to replace Orochimaru.

For a love rival like Jiraiya, it would be better to send him out of the village early.

In fact, if Yanmen was an adult now, he wouldn't have to worry about this at all, but who told him that he is only twelve years old now. Of course, he is not far away from turning thirteen, it is only a month or two away.

But even at the age of thirteen, there are still five years left before adulthood, which is too long.

It is worth mentioning that Yanmen now looks no different from a sixteen or seventeen-year-old person, and his body is also growing rapidly.

Pattering...

A drizzle fell on several people, none of whom held an umbrella, and soon everyone's hair and clothes were wet.

After a moment of silence, Tsunade said: "Let's all go back."

"Um."

At this moment, everyone was not in the mood to talk about anything and dispersed in twos and threes.

Enmon, Kushina, Tsunade, Minato, and Naoki walked side by side and soon arrived at the Senju clan.

In recent days, the number of people in the Thousand Hands Clan has gradually increased, and some Thousand Hands Clan members have been summoned back.

Regarding Senju's actions, other ninja clans also received some news, and their reactions varied. Some held a wait-and-see attitude, some expressed support, and some expressed implicit opposition.

Neither Tsunade nor Naoki responded to this.

In this way, there is an undercurrent surging beneath the peaceful village.

At the same time, the identity of Yanmen and Minato also spread within the village, and everyone realized that the two brothers actually came from the Thousand Hands clan!

This silenced some people who originally opposed the reconstruction of the Senju, especially the Uchiha clan, whose internal opposition voices became much smaller.

Of course, it's very possible that they just don't dare to oppose openly anymore, but they may be more fierce in private.

Because once the Senju clan returns, it will have the greatest impact on their Uchiha clan.

However, due to the strength of the Yan Clan, they did not dare to blatantly oppose it, but some people secretly had bad intentions.

Especially the radicals within the Uchiha clan, when they knew that Uchiha Madara was still "alive", their minds became more active.

Maybe……

Suddenly, there were suddenly more Uchiha ninjas receiving missions to leave the village.

You know, because of the existence of the Security Department, the ninjas of the Uchiha clan rarely leave the village to perform tasks, but now there are suddenly more of them.

This abnormal behavior quickly attracted the attention of Yanmen and Tsunade.
