Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

"Lord Danzo, Lord Orochimaru, the collection of intelligence has been completed."

In a dimly lit underground secret room, a masked member of the Roots knelt on one knee and respectfully reported the results of his work to the two people who had been waiting in the room for a long time. After hearing the other party's voice, he sat on a chair Shimura Danzo slowly opened his eyes and uttered a short phrase in a cold tone:

"Send it up."

"Yes." The member of the Root handed over a scroll that recorded a large amount of written information, then stood up and retreated, blending into the shadow of the secret room like a shadow, while Shimura Danzo unfolded the scroll with one hand, and borrowed the help from the room. With only the light on, I could examine the contents on the scroll.

What he asked the members of the Roots to collect was the life information of a Kirigakure ninja who had recently made an astonishing reputation on the battlefield between Konoha and Kirigakure.

Through some nails planted in Kirigakure early and through the channels of some Kirigakure ninjas who had dealings with the roots, the root ninjas collected all kinds of information about the opponent since his birth. After summarizing, sorting and refining, they became It became the scroll full of text in Danzo's hand today.

"Kaguya...Rei."

After repeating the name several times in a low voice, Shimura Danzo handed the scroll in his hand to Orochimaru who was standing next to him. He waited for the other party to browse through the contents of the scroll before asking in a low voice. :

"Any ideas, Orochimaru?"

"It's a valuable research object... No, that's not right, I should say, it's very valuable."

Orochimaru, who gave the impression of being as cold as a large poisonous snake, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips. A creepy look appeared on his originally calm face, as if a mad scientist had seen the experimental material he was interested in. Expression comes.

"Oh? You seem to value him very much, Orochimaru?" Shimura Danzo said with a little surprise in his tone, "Why?"

"Because he is a special individual who is different and stands out from the rest, Danzo."

Orochimaru gently clicked on the text on the information scroll and said with a strange smile:

"Coming from the blood-succession ninja clan that has been passed down for a long time, it has talents and temperaments that far exceed those of its clan members. In high-intensity wars, it gradually demonstrated a new power that is completely different from other clan members... Just listening to this description, you will think Who is it, Danzo?"

Danzo did not answer immediately, but looking at his subconscious grip on the armrest of the chair, Orochimaru knew that Danzo had understood the meaning of his words.

"Why did you make such a judgment, Orochimaru?"

After Danzo closed his eyes and calmed his breathing, he asked in a cold tone:

"Do you know what those words you just said mean?"

"Of course I know...but the obvious fact will not disappear just because the people who see it don't speak out."

"I'm going back first. Those experimental subjects still need someone to guard them... But if you collect any interesting information about him, remember to share a copy with me, Danzo."

Orochimaru handed the scroll back to Danzo, turned around and left the secret room where the temperature dropped sharply. Where Danzo could not see, burning in his golden vertical pupils was a vigorous and cruel pursuit of knowledge. desire:

"Kaguya Rei... it would be great if I could get some of your fresh flesh and blood. If what I guess really happened to you, witnessing the change process would definitely bring some insights to my research. Come for the unimaginable benefits?”

"Don't waste what I gave you, Minato Namikaze."

…

"Grandma, it's endless, isn't it?"

Sensing that the Konoha Sensing Team appeared at the edge of his perception range early in the morning and very punctually, as if clocking in to go to work, and launched a routine surveillance of the Kannabuyama stronghold, and followed them to act as insurance in case he started. Kaguya Rei took a deep breath at the sudden attack on Uzumaki Kushina——

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

The smoke dissipated, and Kaguya Rei's figure jumped down from the outer wall of the Kannabu Mountain stronghold. With an expression of gritted teeth, he ran towards the area where the Konoha Sensing Team was like a sharp arrow, while outside On the wall, another Kaguya Rei was crossing his arms in front of his chest, tapping his sleeves with his fingers in annoyance.

After sensing this, Uzumaki Kushina skillfully created a shadow clone to respond, and at the same time directed Konoha's perception team to evacuate backwards, temporarily out of the perception range of Kaguya Rei Kirigakure's jutsu.

Qiang——

The shadow clones of the two met without any deviation in the heavy fog. Kaguya Rei's clone was brandishing a sharp bone blade, while Kushina's clone was holding two kunai tightly. The two were pinging like this. They fought in the fog, and the sound of weapons colliding at high speeds erupted continuously, almost concatenating into a long sound with no discernible interval.

"It's been so long, and the man who can allow you to attack with peace of mind hasn't come back yet?"

Kaguya Rei was slashing Kushina's clones without any defense, releasing the mental pressure he had accumulated recently due to the bad news from the friendly forces, while speaking in a cold tone that disturbed the opponent's mood.

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

Kushina took advantage of Kaguya Rei's powerful swing of the sword to fly back, and at the same time she shouted in a low voice:

"King Kong Blockade!"

"Early Fern Dance."

The diamond chains condensed by chakra poked out from behind her and tied up Kaguya Rei's clone like a dragnet, while Kaguya leisurely threw the bone blade in her hand at Kushina , and then stepped hard, and countless pale bone spurs suddenly exploded around him, blocking all the chain attacks blocked by King Kong.

"Ah, is it true that this trick is of no use to you?"

Seeing that her offensive failed, Kushina didn't feel that she had anything to regret. She used the kunai in her hand to deflect the bone blade thrown by Kaguya Rei, and sighed at the same time.

"It is impossible for you to defeat me with your own strength. I should have made you aware of this very early, a remnant of the Uzumaki clan."

Kaguya stepped hard on the ground and continued to chase Kushina's figure. While chasing, she continued to say:

"Show your true skills. Whether it's calling that guy Namikaze Minato or releasing the fox in you, I don't care... let's have a good fight and make sure we belong together in Mount Kanaibu." Wouldn’t it be nice to get rid of the power dispute completely?”

"Tsk, you Kirigakure have indeed planted many annoying spies in Konoha." Kushina's movements paused for a moment and she said in a very unhappy tone.

"To each other, Konoha's thorns in Kirigakure will not be less... After the war is over, I will clear them out of my village."

"Your...village?"

Kushina took a deep breath, stopped her escape, and uncharacteristically took the initiative to greet Kaguya Rei.

"You are exactly what Minato said, you are an extremely dangerous guy, Rei Kaguya!"

"So?" Kaguya Rei used two bone blades to block Uzumaki Kushina's fist wrapped in a large amount of chakra, and asked calmly.

"If Kirigakure really becomes a village ruled by you, then the entire ninja world will never see peace again."

Staring into Kaguya Rei's eyes, Uzumaki Kushina said firmly:

"In order to protect the peace that I finally regained from Iwagakure and Kumogakure... I will defeat you here, Rei Kaguya!"

Phew.

Kaguya Rei's bone blade pierced her body faster than Uzumaki Kushina's words.

However, Uzumaki Kushina's clone did not completely dissipate after receiving a heavy blow like a normal shadow clone.

Instead, as it dissipated, a special kunai with a strange shape fell out.

A yellow figure jumped like lightning across the sky. It only left a fleeting shadow in the eyes of Kaguya Rei's clone, and then disappeared from his eyes without any warning as it came. .

"Oh? Taking this opportunity to close the distance with the main body, in order to reduce the consumption of the Flying Thunder God Technique and increase the possibility of a successful raid?"

"It's a good idea...but the main body has already guessed that you would do this."

"A surprise attack that was foreseen long ago can still be considered a surprise attack?"

Kaguya Rei's shadow clone shook his head and continued to chase the Konoha Sensing Team who had retreated without any psychological pressure.

If the prediction is correct, Uzumaki Kushina herself should have joined hands with Namikaze Minato on the battlefield prepared in advance, right?

In that case, wouldn't I have the opportunity to kill all those disgusting guys who clock in to work on time every morning?

There are a lot of things to do during the holidays, so I’m sorry for the late update.

The second update, which is too late, will be posted at six o'clock tomorrow morning as usual.
