Chapter 30: The Watergate Narrative

Late at night, inside Konoha Village.

A high-level meeting on post-disaster reporting and aftermath is underway.

“.... Most of the buildings in the village have been affected.... Among them, Dongcheng District was the most seriously damaged, and it has basically been reduced to rubble..."

With the size and strength of the Nine-Tails, it is expected that the house will be seriously damaged, but this is not much of a problem, only people, with Konoha's mobilization ability, it will soon be able to be built again.

“... A provisional count of 572 people died, of which 137 were working ninjas, 343 were ordinary villagers, and 92 were tourists and merchants. ”

Thanks to the fact that Konoha had already arranged ninjas in major crowded places, the Nine-Tails were evacuated as soon as they appeared, and there were not many casualties.

It's just that there are tourists dying in Konoha, and there will be a lot fewer travelers and clients coming and going to Konoha in the near future, which is a big blow to Konoha who needs a lot of money and materials to rebuild after the disaster.

“... The search and rescue work is led by the Hyuga family, the Inuzuka family, and the oil girl family.... Race against time...."

This is very easy to understand, Hinata's white eyes, Inuzuka's sense of smell, and the pervasiveness of the oil girl, who can find the villagers under the ruins and rocks very well.

“... The pacification of the villagers is now being arranged by Koharu and Tsunade....."

This is also understandable, when the two Hokages can't get out, arranging two respected women to appease the villagers is much better than a group of rough old men.

"Huh.. I didn't expect that the village was attacked by people," Licking his lips, Orochimaru said with some playfulness.

He was originally doing experiments in his laboratory, and was forcibly invited out by the dark department sent by the three generations, but fortunately, the dark department didn't see anything that shouldn't be seen, otherwise Konoha would have defected from one of the three ninjas in addition to the nine-tails incident today.

It's okay that he didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, Jiraiya suddenly became angry, slapped the table and asked, "Orochimaru, where were you when the Nine-Tails appeared?" Why don't you come out and stop it?! ”

In the face of his questioning, Orochimaru just glanced at him and explained lightly: "My laboratory has laid some enchantments, and the Nine-Tails did not appear near the laboratory, I don't know about it"

"You—" Jiraiya still wanted to ask something

"That's it!" The three generations of Hokage stopped the quarrel between the two disciples, and looked at Orochimaru, who had a cold look, he was a little disappointed in Orochimaru's disciple at this time, whether he really didn't know, or didn't want to come out, he didn't stand up when the village needed him the most.

He was also a little glad in his heart, he had considered Orochimaru to be the fourth generation Hokage, but fortunately, later he chose Bo Feng Shuimon to be the fourth generation Hokage, and the fourth generation Hokage also stood up at a critical moment.

Turning his head, the three generations of Hokage looked at the old man sitting next to him with his eyes closed and meditating, and asked with a serious expression: "Danzo, I want to know where the root people were when the Nine-Tails appeared?" Give me an explanation! ”

Hearing the question of the three generations of Hokage, the man named Danzang suddenly opened his only eye and said lightly: "Our roots have always guarded against the Uchiha clan!" ”

"Elder Tuanzang, there is no evidence, how can you suspect the people in the village casually" Hearing this, the water gate on the side immediately said loudly

"Watergate, you're too young to be trusted by everyone, as for the evidence? The writing wheel eye in the nine-tailed pupil is proof! "Danzang didn't back down.

"And the Nine-Tails Pillar Force is your wife, Konoha has never been attacked by the enemy since the beginning of the village, and you are guilty of dereliction of duty as the fourth generation Hokage!" Tuan Zang wants to take advantage of this incident to attack the prestige of Watergate!

"I am indeed derelict in this incident, I will take full responsibility and resign...."

"That's it!" Knocking on the table, the three Hokage interrupted the conversation between the two

"This incident was finalized by Watergate and I together, and I am also responsible, now is not the time to hold anyone responsible, the top priority is to rebuild the village and find out the identity of the enemy!"

"I suspect that the Uchiha clan has a huge relationship with this incident, and from now on send ninjas to spy on the Uchiha clan!" Tuan Zang said directly

"Elder Tuanzang, I said, you can't just suspect the people in the village, I refuse this proposal!"

"Okay, the Uchiha clan, let's talk about it later!" Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, the three generations of Hokage could only interrupt the two again.

"Watergate, tell me, what kind of enemy was the situation you encountered at that time?"

Shuimen pondered for a moment and spoke: "At that time, when Jiu Sinai gave birth, the seal of the Nine-Tails was loosened, and I was doing my best to maintain the seal, and at this time, Mr. Jiraiya and they were attacked!" “

"Where's the shadows and the scout enchantment outside?"

"The reconnaissance barrier didn't sense the enemy, and the shadows outside were quietly killed."

Hearing that the reconnaissance barrier had failed and the shadows had died, the three generations of Hokage's face turned pale, and he turned his head to Jiraiya on the side and asked:

"What kind of enemy attacked you, Jiraiya?"

I haven't spoken since the meeting, and I have spoken

"The enemy who attacked us was a group of people with pale skin, green hair, strange appearance, and plant-like bodies, and their stealth ability was so strong that even I couldn't detect it, and as soon as they struck, they seriously injured Genma, one of the Watergate Shadow Guards, so that they could not launch the Flying Thunder God Transfer."

"It is worth mentioning that compared to their latent ability, their frontal combat ability is not strong, only equivalent to the level of medium forbearance"

Pale skin? Weird-looking? Body like a plant? Stealth?

What about the country in the ninja world, which organization has a class or weapon that fits this trait?

Everyone present thought about it carefully, no matter what they thought, they couldn't think of it, and it was the first time that Konoha had encountered such an enemy.

"Watergate, what about your inside?" The thick and old voice of the three generations of Hokage sounded.

"When Jiraiya-sensei and the others were attacked, Kushina was in a critical period of production, and the seal of the Nine-Tails fluctuated violently, and I was doing my best to maintain the seal!"

"At this time, we also encountered enemies in the room."

"The enemy who attacked us was a pitcher plant with a pitcher plant on his head, half black and half white, and the white side was very similar to the one that attacked Jiraiya, but his stealth ability and combat effectiveness were stronger!" Watergate said in a deep voice

The third generation frowned, even if the room also encountered enemies, the water gate had to maintain the seal, and Lake Biwa had to deliver babies, but at that time, there were still Shinoshida Lu and Tsunade in the room, and things should not have developed to the next step.

"Tsunade-sama and Tian Lu stepped forward to stop the enemy the moment they saw it, because they had to take care of Kushina, they didn't use too much force!"

"And then?" Three generations asked

"Then, Tian Lu was injured, Tsunade-sama...."Worried for a while, Mizuto still didn't tell Tsunade that after seeing Tian Lu's blood, he instantly lost his combat effectiveness and was almost killed by the enemy.

Once spoken, it was a huge blow to Tsunade's prestige.

"At that time, Kushina had already given birth to Naruto, so I stepped forward to support Tsunade-sama!"

"Stupid! At this moment, the Flying Thunder God and the Nine-Tails Pillar Force should be used immediately to transfer. Danzou sneered, he wouldn't miss any chance to blow the prestige of this new Hokage now.

Mizuto didn't refute it, he also knew that Danzou was right, and the mysterious person that Uchiha Kyo said at that time had never appeared.

But at that time, if he didn't come forward to support, Tsunade would die on the spot, so knowing that there might be a conspiracy, he still stepped forward to support.

Seeing the disciple with a self-blaming face, Zilai also said with some unhappiness: "Tuan Zang, what do you mean?" It's not Watergate's fault! ”

After Jiraiya eliminated the enemy, he saw the situation when he rushed into the room and understood the disciple's choice.

"Hehe, the nine-tails that appeared in the village can't fool people," Tuan Zang said sarcastically.

"You ...."

"That's it! Jiraiya, Tuanzang, now is not the time to hold anyone accountable! "The third generation also knew that Watergate's approach was inappropriate, but in terms of Watergate's steadiness, there should have been some accident at that time, was it Tsunade? Still is.....

"Watergate, you go on"

"Yes, three generations of adults!" Minatocho took a breath and continued, "While I was supporting Tsunade-sama, a mysterious person appeared next to Kushina, and instantly seriously injured Biwako-sama and kidnapped Kushina."
