Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

After sending Namikaze Minato and Shizune away, Tsunade remained in a highly tense state and battled wits with the air for several days before receiving the news from Konoha's intelligence personnel that Rei Kaguya had left. Leaving aside the fact that he broke through the defense in a rage because of his incompetence, the top brass of Konoha were really shocked by the news that Namikaze Minato brought back.

Konoha's senior officials were not too worried about Kirigakure's strength on the frontal battlefield.

Although Kirigakure's side seems to have a fierce offensive on the surface, and their cruel practice of not leaving prisoners on the battlefield can't help but frighten the frontline combatants, the number of corpses recovered by both sides on the battlefield has increased. It can be easily discovered that the number of Kirigakure ninjas killed in battle far exceeds that of Konoha.

So Konoha's senior officials immediately felt at ease.

Kirigakure's population and number of ninjas are the smallest among the five major countries. Even after Konoha has gone through consecutive battles with Iwagakure and Kumogakure, the number of existing ninjas is still much more than Kirigakure.

In the case where there is already a disparity in numbers between the two sides, the disadvantaged side still has a higher proportion of battle losses. If Kirigakure hadn't suddenly appeared a Kaguya Rei who could resist Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, Konoha would The top brass didn't know what stupid mistakes they had to make to lose this war.

It can be said that in the eyes of Konoha's senior officials, Kaguya Rei is the only person who can possibly bring changes to the outcome of the war between Konoha and Kirigakure.

And now, this dangerous guy has actually abandoned his responsibility to shoulder the frontal battlefield of Kirigakure and ran to the core area of ​​the Country of Fire alone...

The decapitation tactic must be for the purpose of executing the decapitation tactic!

Ever since, under the orders of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the ANBU ninjas came out in full force and went all out to search for targets whose whereabouts were suspected to be Rei Kaguya in the Land of Fire.

As the only one who could sense Kaguya Rei's whereabouts, Namikaze Minato ignored Yamanaka Haruto's dissuasion and forcibly dragged the sick body to join the search team, constantly sensing Kaguya Rei's Flying Thunder God Technique to prevent him. Sneak into Konoha Village quietly.

But what makes the ninjas of Konoha a little confused is that in Kaguya Rei's movement trajectory, there is no intention to approach Konoha's village. Instead, he is heading north, towards the north of the Land of Fire. Going to the border...

"Hey, hey, that's it, this action trajectory, it turns out to be this..."

"Orochimaru, I don't remember that I shared the information I got from Hiruzen with you just to listen to these boring riddles from you."

Danzo Shimura tapped the ground with his cane in annoyance, looking at Orochimaru who was thinking about something on his own with an unkind expression.

"Haha, don't be impatient, Danzo... I only saw what he wanted to do based on his actions in the past few days."

Orochimaru clapped his hands, drew a red circle on the map provided by Root, narrowed his narrow eyes into a chilling slit, and said with a cold smile:

"Tian Country, Kaguya Rei's final destination will most likely be this area of ​​Tian Country."

"Why are you so sure, Orochimaru?"

"This is a little personal secret of mine, but if you are willing to send the experts from the root to hunt with me to kill our lovely Kirigakure friend, I can't consider sharing this secret with you... I don't know. What do you think, Danzo?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Orochimaru's face, and he threw the question back to Shimura Danzo, who was at a disadvantage in terms of intelligence. After Shimura Danzo thought for a moment, he hit the ground hard with his cane. After a pause, he accepted Orochimaru's invitation in a cold tone:

"Yes, I will let the best ninja from the roots fight with you, but after the target is successfully captured, I need to get all your research information, from your previous human experiment information to all your subsequent research on Kaguya Rei's body cells ...I want them all, do you understand, Orochimaru?"

"What an incredible appetite, Danzo... Yes, I agree to your conditions, but I have one request, that is, you must join me in this hunt. If you agree, I can give you a part of the human body that you don't have." The experimental data will be delivered to you in advance as a deposit."

Orochimaru was not surprised that Shimura Danzo's lion opened his mouth, because he also knew very well that it would be difficult to capture Kaguya Rei, who defeated Namikaze Minato, by himself alone. Since he had to borrow someone from the root to go If you want to be cannon fodder for yourself, then you must make appropriate concessions to Danzo, the leader of the root.

"...In that case, I will accompany you on the journey, Orochimaru."

At this moment, Shimura Danzo is not the pathological careerist who could hide in Root's underground base and remain motionless even if the village is facing the crisis of destruction. He still has strong ambition and power of action, constantly appearing in various places. country, stirring up the situation in the entire ninja world.

It is precisely because his body is still in its prime, so even if he knows the true situation of Uzumaki Kushina's defeat, Shimura Danzo still has full confidence and feels that he has the ability to defeat Kaguya, who is still just a young boy. pity.

"Haha, then, happy cooperation, Danzo."

Orochimaru smiled sinisterly and stretched out his pale and cold hands, and held them tightly with Shimura Danzo's old but equally devoid of any warmth.

…

Five days later.

On the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Land, standing in front of the waterfall of the Valley of the End, looking up at the huge statues of Uchiha Madara and the first Hokage Senju Hashirama standing here, Kaguya Rei clasped his hands and silently paid tribute to these two. A senior figure who pacified the troubled times of the Warring States Period expressed his respect.

Although one of the two died and lived again, being deceived by a ridiculous lie, and had countless calculations in his life, he ended up becoming someone else's wedding dress. The other had no peace of mind even after death, and his cells were taken out over and over again. Even if you don’t say anything, your will to pass on has gradually deviated from the original direction due to the incompetence of your successors...

However, they were the pioneers who completely changed the structure of the ninja world and brought the ninja world into a new era.

It is worthy of Kaguya Rei, a junior who also intends to bring change and unity to the entire ninja world, to maintain the necessary respect for them.

After paying homage to this holy place that has been the final battleground for the protagonists of the era many times, Kaguya Rei jumped off the statue of Hashirama and prepared to continue heading towards the country of Tian.

A few minutes later, a few extremely inconspicuous bugs fell into the hands of a masked man a few kilometers away and began to convey to him what he had just seen.

"It seems that Orochimaru is right. That Kaguya Rei is indeed heading towards a certain place in Tian Country..."

"Go and inform Mr. Danzo that we have found traces of the target. We can start to gather the manpower and prepare for the subsequent hunting."

A large net spread across the border between the Country of Fire and the Country of Fields began to gradually close.

The prey caught in the net still knows nothing about it...

The outcome of this hunt is already determined.

Benedict.

Looking at the big snake that was nailed to the tree trunk by one of his casual bullets, a playful smile slowly formed on the corner of Kaguya Rei's mouth.

"Haha, tonight's snack looks quite sumptuous..."

The aftereffects of eating the wrong thing yesterday are still continuing, and I’m really not doing well today.

The second update will be updated at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, sorry.
