Chapter 606: The Trail of the Scorpion

A few days later, the Hokage's office.

Because of some matters in the police force, Fu Yue, as the captain, came to see Watergate and discuss with him.

Fu Yue walked into the office, and when he saw him coming, Shuimen stood up, chuckled at him, and said, "Fu Yue, congratulations." ”

"Thank you. Fu Yue also smiled lightly.

"How's Mai Trin's body recovering?"

Although she knew that Mikoto, who was a ninja, must have no problem recovering her body, she was a good friend of the Watergate ninja school after all, so the latter was still concerned.

"Well, it's basically fine. Fugaku nodded.

Then the two regained their normal colors and began to discuss business.

"So be it, I trust your decision. ”

After listening to Fuyue's plan, Mizumon thought for a moment and nodded.

When Fu Yue heard this, he was a little stunned, because the plan he proposed, in normal times, the village should send personnel to supervise for a period of time.

It was a precaution against the Uchiha clan, but Mizuto had never done that since he succeeded Hokage.

As the leader, Watergate's approach is indeed somewhat inappropriate according to common sense.

But Fu Yue knew in his heart that Watergate was not a dull person, and the reason why he didn't ask was not because he couldn't think of it.

Instead, he gave all his trust to the Uchiha.

This open-mindedness can't help but make him admire.

In fact, whether it is between people or between people, trust is fundamental.

If you guard against each other, all that remains is profit.

"Speaking of which, Kushina hasn't been here for a long time, and Mai Tamin has been talking about her for the past few days. ”

Fugaku said that when Mikoto was just pregnant, Kushina would make a trip to the Uchiha clan almost every day.

But since a few months ago, she hasn't been seen again.

The reason for this is only known to Watergate and a few people.

"Kushinah.. She's been busy with something else late, and when she's late, I'll accompany her to the Uchiha clan to meet Sasuke-chan. ”

Shuimen smiled, and the bottom of his blue eyes gradually became dignified.

Because, there are only two months left before the due date of Jiu Sinai...

Although the village sealed the news of her pregnancy very tightly, Watergate always felt that the man who didn't know his identity and was secretly planning would definitely take advantage of Jiu Sinai's birth...

...

It's January again.

"The few missions you've been on lately, and the clients have spoken highly of you, Kakashi. ”

Mizumon smiled at Kakashi in front of him, and after the latter became a shinobi, he made him the captain and carried out several missions in succession.

The client's feedback to him is quite good.

"The duty lies. Kakashi replied that he didn't care about the compliment.

"Knock knock!"

Watergate nodded, and just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Please come in. Watergate said quickly.

"Jiraiya-sensei!?"

When the gate opened, seeing the people coming, the water gate was also surprised.

Seeing the water gate, a smile also appeared on Jiraiya's face, and he walked over very casually, patting Kakashi on the shoulder by the way.

Although Kakashi is not very familiar with one of the legendary three shinobi, he is also Mizumon's teacher, and Mizumon is his teacher.

"Looks like you've been doing a good job all this time. ”

Jiraiya laughed that he had left the village shortly after Mizumon had just succeeded Hokage.

It's been more than a year now, and some of the decisions made when Watergate became the Hokage have been met with a lot of resistance.

But from what he had heard from all over the village and in the past year or so, he had handled all these things well.

Now Konoha is becoming more and more prosperous.

But after a simple reminiscence, Jiraiya's expression also became a little solemn.

Seeing this, Mizumon looked sideways at Kakashi and said, "The mission has just ended, you can rest for a few days for the time being, and I will order someone to notify you when there is a mission." ”

"Yes!"

Kakashi, of course, could see the solemnity in the expressions of Mizuto and Jiraiya.

He then said goodbye to the two and left the office.

"Teacher, what's going on?"

Shuimen's golden brows furrowed slightly, and he wondered in his heart whether the teacher's expression was already aware of what had happened in the rain ninja village before...

Jiraiya-sensei is a master of intelligence gathering, unmatched in Konoha, but for this time, the Land of Rain has been in a closed state.

If the former hadn't deliberately investigated, he wouldn't have noticed it.

"Not long ago, I stumbled upon a piece of information..."

"That information is about the Red Sand Scorpion!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a murderous intent quietly circulating in the eyes of Shuimen, who looked solemn.

Because during the Third Ninja World War, the Red Sand Scorpion had poisoned the Konoha army on the coastline of the Fire Country, and if it weren't for the Uchiha Yan who opened the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye, Konoha would have been wiped out.

Although Watergate has guilt for the death of the scorpion's parents, the former's approach has touched the bottom line of Watergate and Konoha.

Therefore, after the end of the Great War, the Red Sand Scorpion was included in the list of S-class wanted criminals by Konoha, and the intensity of the wanted was even greater than that of the Sand Shinobi.

And Konoha's ninjas are constantly collecting information about him.

But for so long, there has been little useful information.

"Teacher, could you please tell us about the situation? ”

Shuimen said that the Red Sand Scorpion had already been included in the list of Konoha must-kill.

Jiraiya nodded, and then told the water gate the origin of the information about the scorpion.

"The Land of Thunder?"

According to the information gathered by Jiraiya, the Red Sand Scorpion now appears to be hiding somewhere in the Land of Thunder.

Because of this, this matter is a bit more difficult to do.

Because the third generation of Thunder Shadow of Cloud Ninja Village in the Land of Thunder died at the hands of Watergate, and his son Night Moon Ai is now the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow.

Although the Third Ninja World War has been over for a short time, and peace has been restored to all countries on the surface, everyone knows in their hearts that it is only harmony on the surface.

Now that he has obtained information on the whereabouts of the Red Sand Scorpion, Konoha will inevitably send personnel to hunt it down and wipe it out.

However, the former is by no means an idle person, and no one in the current village, except for the Water Gate, has absolute certainty that he can be killed on the spot.

But Mizumon, who is already Hokage, can't leave the village easily...

If this matter had the assistance of the Cloud Ninja Village, it would be much easier...

However, there is a deep grudge between Konoha and Yun Shinobi, and it is impossible for Yun Shinobi to assist Konoha in capturing the scorpion!
