Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

"The Kingdom of Whirlpool?"

In the Mizukage's office, Kaguya Rei listened to the mission information of the Third Mizukage. Her brows hidden behind the mask couldn't help but raise, and she asked in surprise:

"Why did they go to the Kingdom of Whirlpool?"

"Maybe they feel that now that Uzushio Village has been destroyed and there is no local ninja village in Uzumaki Country, they can hide their traces there well and live the life of a local emperor doing whatever they want. "

The Third Mizukage rubbed his brows, with a very obvious harshness and displeasure in his tone:

"Of the five guys who escaped from the battlefield, only one chose to return to the village to accept punishment... Rei, you should know, right? What is Kirigakure's usual method of dealing with guys like this who dare to openly defect."

"Understood," Kaguya Rei nodded calmly, "But since they fled from the Country of Fire to the Country of Whirlpool, were they watched by Konoha's ninjas on the way?"

"Our spies mentioned in the intelligence sent back that there is another force tracking the whereabouts of those rebel ninjas. There is a high probability that it will be Konoha's intelligence personnel, but it is not yet certain that Konoha's side will try to catch them. What kind of lineup will be sent?”

"I see. Is this why this mission is S-class, Third Generation?"

Kaguya nodded understandingly, and while maintaining the posture of listening to the Third Mizukage's speech, he looked at the mission information that had just been refreshed in front of him.

[Mission: Pursue the Kirigakure traitor]

[Mission description: Sneak into the Kingdom of Whirlpool, find the four Kirigakure ninjas who defected on the battlefield before Konoha's ANBU team, kill them, or bring them back to the village]

[Task reward: two small runes]

[Optional mission one: Kill all members of the Konoha ANBU team. Get a chance to draw a secondary rune once]

[Optional mission two: Find the lost descendants of the Uzumaki clan and gain the target's trust. Get a chance to draw a secondary rune once]

"There are only two optional tasks, and the rewards are only a chance to extract secondary runes... Tsk, the difficulty of S-level tasks is only that, and there is not even an optional task that can extract cornerstone runes. .

However, there is actually an option in the optional mission to gain the trust of the descendants of the Uzumaki clan... The Konoha reinforcements mentioned in the last mission information came from Hyuga Hanabi decades later, so this time it shouldn't be from decades later. Xianglin, right? "

Kaguya Rei relied on her mask to cover up, and without any psychological burden, she started to cheat in front of the third Mizukage who looked bitter and hateful. After nodding and agreeing with Kaguya Rei's previous point of view, the third Mizukage sighed. He said angrily:

"Complete the mission and come back as soon as possible, Rei... The war with Konoha is about to begin, and there will be many missions that require you."

"yes."

After coming back to his senses, Kaguya nodded subconsciously and was about to turn around and leave the Mizukage's office. But before he opened the door of the office, he stopped because he remembered something and turned to ask the Third Mizukage. :

"Um, Lord Third? Am I the only one to carry out this task? Don't I need to be paired with a sentient companion?"

"You want to say Mikazuki, right?" The Third Mizukage's eyes glazed over for a moment, and then he sighed in annoyance:

"Unfortunately, there are really too many tasks in the village that require the use of sensory ninjas, and the number of our Kirigakure's sensory ninjas has never been increased, so even if we know that pairing you with a sensory ninja as a companion can improve your The efficiency of task completion makes it difficult to find the right people at the same time.”

Who do you think is to be blamed for the low number of sentient ninjas? It is not because of the poor early combat ability of Sensing Ninjas, it is difficult to survive and pass the Ninja School Graduation Examination where you set up a partner-killing Ninja School to become a Ninja. Therefore, even children with talents in this area are more willing to delve into Taijutsu and destructive Ninja skills. Technique?

Oh, no, Sandaime, you are a puppet controlled by Madara. If Kirigakure’s sensing ninjas are too many and too strong, someone might discover this one day... Oh, Uchiha Madara’s one-step trick One link, it's not bad.

The corners of Kaguya Rei's mouth trembled, and she tried very hard to restrain her desire to point at the Sandaime Mizukage's nose and curse on the spot, and then replied in the calmest tone possible:

"I will complete the mission and come back as soon as possible, Third Generation."

"Please, Rei."

…

Konoha, in the office of the Third Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Namikaze Minato who had just pushed in the door, put down the far-sighted crystal ball in his hand, and asked with a serious expression:

"Did Kakashi remember something?"

"I'm sorry, Sandaime-sama, Kakashi..." Namikaze Minato hesitated for a moment, and finally said with a self-reproaching tone:

"After he woke up, his mental state has been very unstable. He always felt that his hands were still stained with the blood of his companions that could not be washed away. He always felt that he had not fulfilled the promise he made to his companions, and even committed suicide more than once. The idea came...under such circumstances, I really don't want to force him to recall what happened that night."

"That's it...then let Kakashi recuperate quietly in the village for a while."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, picked up an information scroll on the table, and threw it towards Namikaze Minato.

"Minato, look at this."

"yes."

Namikaze Minato opened the information scroll. He originally thought that it would record Kirigakure's recent personnel transfers and speculation on when Kirigakure would officially declare war on Konoha. But to his surprise, this information did not It did not write about these important events, but instead recorded information about the appearance of several suspicious ninjas in the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

"Sandaime-sama, what is this?" Minato Namikaze frowned in confusion, not knowing what Hiruzen Sarutobi meant by showing him this information.

"According to this information sent back from the Kingdom of Whirlpool, those suspicious ninjas fled from the direction of the Kingdom of Fire to the Kingdom of Whirlpool."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and said slowly:

"Being suspicious, not wearing the ninja forehead protector that symbolizes the village, and just escaping from the Fire Country to the Whirlpool Country a few days ago... Minato, what does this remind you of?"

"Are you saying that those sneaky ninjas may be the members of the Kirigakure ANBU who attacked Kakashi and the others before, Third Generation-sama?"

Having said that, with Namikaze Minato's experience and mind, he naturally came to a conclusion with great possibility. After nodding his head and confirming Namikaze Minato's conjecture, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. said:

"According to the ninjas from the village who rushed to support, they found the place where Kakashi and Kirigakure's ANBU were suspected to be fighting, and found some very strange traces there."

"I judge that these traces are probably related to Kakashi's miraculous survival and the strange actions of those Kirigakure Anbu who escaped to the Kingdom of Whirlpool."

Namikaze Minato's eyes widened.

How Hatake Kakashi, who collapsed due to excessive use of Sharingan and chakra, survived being surrounded by so many Kirigakure ANBU, has puzzled everyone, including the Third Hokage. one thing.

Shimura Danzo even excitedly suggested that the ninjas of the Yamanaka clan who worked in the "Root" department should search Kakashi's brain to see what happened that night.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen righteously rejected Shimura Danzo's proposal, it would be an absolute lie to say that he was not curious about this issue.

"So, does the Third Generation want me to investigate this matter?" Namikaze Minato asked enthusiastically.

"No, Minato, your first priority right now is to sit on the border of the Kingdom of Thunder and ensure that those militants in Kumogakure will not have any inappropriate ideas again because of Kirigakure's impetuousness."

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused, and then said:

"However, I hope you can provide each member of the ANBU team I sent to investigate this matter with your specially made Flying Thunder God Kunai so that they can obtain it when they encounter difficult enemies during the mission. With your help, we can bring the collected information back to the village.”

"I understand, Third Generation-sama."

It does seem to be getting better after I put the tag of Naruto in my profile...
