Konoha Hospital.

In a hospital room on the second floor, Tsunade is examining Mizumon's body.

"How are you feeling now?"

Tsunade pressed his fingers on the exposed arm of the water gate.

"It feels like my muscles are very stiff and I can't move flexibly."

Mizumon's face was pale, and since he woke up, he felt that his body functions were in a state of stiffness, and his physical movement was inconvenient.

"This is normal, don't worry, no abnormality is detected in your body, I will prescribe some medicine for you, and you can recover after half a month."

Tsunade nodded, basically as she had judged.

Although Watergate has been resurrected from a state of death, he will fall into a weak state for a while, and as long as he takes medicine and rests for a while, he can return to his normal level.

"How's the heart?"

Tsunade asked again.

The fatal wound that caused Watergate entered from the mouth of his heart.

Watergate touched his heart and said, "I don't feel any pain anymore." ”

But when I think back to that night, I still feel chills all over my body, as if I was poured cold water.

That man really wanted to kill himself.

Afraid of his space-time ninjutsu - the technique of flying thunder god.

"By the way, Tsunade-sama, what's going on with Kushina?"

Watergate asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's more stable over there than yours, and the seal has been successfully made. And Mr. Sarufei is also sending the dark department to investigate. ”

"That's right."

If such a big thing happens, it really needs to be investigated, especially the identity of Jiu Xinnai's human pillar force.

Before this incident, Kushina knew that Kushina was a ninja who was the identity of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, and basically only had high-level and members of the dark department who were with him to protect her.

However, Shiraishi and Ruri found Kushina with the right amount of accuracy, unleashing part of the Nine-Tails power in her body, and even breaking the Uzumaki Clan's seal.

The seriousness of this matter is not insignificant.

"Tsunade-sama."

Silent came in with a cart, the top layer for the medicine to be given to the water gate, and the bottom layer for lunch, which contained some nutritious diluted food.

"It's coming, mute."

"Yes, this is the medicine that the Watergate seniors take regularly, and there is lunch."

Mute pushed the cart to the bed of the water gate and took the cup to pour the hot water.

Tsunade picked up the medicine on the cart, looked through it, and asked Shizune, "This isn't the medicine we developed in Konoha, right?" ”

Shizune turned his head and smiled: "This is an active body medicine produced by the Aster Flower Company, which can make the body of the predecessor of Watergate recover as soon as possible." ”

"Have you already checked it?"

Tsunade asked.

Pour out a few tablets of the medicine from the medicine bottle, put it on your nose and smell it.

It's not that I don't believe it, but now is a critical moment for Watergate, and if someone mixes poison into the drug, it's going to be troublesome.

"Yes, it has been double-checked several times and there are no problems."

Mute said.

Tsunade nodded, and then he was relieved and put the medicine bottle back.

"Watergate, then you cultivate here first, and I'll go to the Intelligence Department to see the situation first."

"Okay, please go slowly, Tsunade-sama."

Mizuto nodded, and it was a little unreasonable to let Tsunade stay here with him.

Shizune followed Tsunade out of the room and down the hallway on the second floor of the hospital.

"What's the matter, I just looked like I wanted to talk and stopped."

Tsunade lowered his head and glanced at Mute next to him.

"That...... Tsunade-sama, did Shiraishi-senpai really betray the village? ”

"You're asking that question too, huh? The little girl named Nohara Rin before also asked many times. Although I can't accept it, I can only say that everything that person did in Konoha was pretending. ”

"But...... Obviously, there was no sign at all...... Why did Shiraishi-senpai betray the village? ”

Mute's eyes were gloomy.

She really couldn't imagine that the gentle and polite senior in her impression would be an enemy who caused great harm to the village, and even ruthlessly attacked her companions.

"This ...... Who knows. ”

Tsunade's eyes flickered.

"You go back first, I'll go to the Ministry of Intelligence."

"Hmm."

Shizune nodded absentmindedly and walked away alone.

It wasn't until Mute's back disappeared around the corner that Tsunade turned to the other way to walk.

The Ministry of Intelligence is in a relatively remote and quiet corner, not far away is Konoha Library, and there are several Konoha ninjas on duty at the door.

Most of them are writers and writers, and they have gathered knowledge talents in many fields, especially those with analytical skills, and they are all excellent ninjas.

"Tsunade-sama, do you have any instructions?"

A female ninja walked over.

"I've had a request before."

"Well, it's all done in general, but because a lot of information is scattered, and there was nothing abnormal before, there may be a little error in the derivation of intelligence."

The female ninja replied not very confidently, and as she spoke, she led Tsunade to her office, took down a document from the bookshelf next to her, and placed it in front of Tsunade.

The female ninja made Tsunade a cup of tea and went out to work, leaving Tsunade alone here to read the document.

Tsunade opens the intelligence document.

Konoha Ninja Chiba Shiraishi Archive Record.

There is a world of difference from the previous file.

The previous archives are just a very standard level of middle ninja, except for a medical ninjutsu that can be used, the rest of the abilities are very in line with the level of middle ninja.

Among the Konoha ninja group, it is definitely an inconspicuous type.

"Harness the Dirt Man, the Giant Water Snake, and the Black Beast type psychic beast ......"

The Dirt People have the ability to lurk that is not easily perceived by the Ninja, and they are immortal, and they will not die if their bodies are cut off or blasted by Detonators.

The water snake can be parasitic.,And ninjutsu is ineffective against it.,It will be absorbed by the transformation into chakra.,Release the water escape to attack the enemy.,Create a favorable environment to fight.,The destructive power and defense are very amazing.,Physical arts are effective against it.。。

The Black Beast can make lightning escapes.

But...... The problem is that on the night of the battle, the shrine maiden was also channeled, and it can be judged that the shrine maiden may be a human-like non-human creature.

Or ...... The spiritism used by Shiraishi is a special grade.

In addition, it seems that I can also use the shadow technique similar to the Nara clan, that is, the secret art of yin retreat.

The shadow has an entity, and the attack speed is quite sharp and fast, even the upper shinobi is not recommended to fight it in close quarters, and the safe distance is more than five meters.

In order to avoid being detected, the amount of chakra in the shadow will be reduced, resulting in a shorter attachment time and weak lethality, and it must hit the person's fatal place to form a must-kill.

Whether this is the full strength remains to be determined.

"Where did that stinky little imp find these things?"

After reading it, Tsunade's brow furrowed tightly.

According to this information, as well as what the dark ninja saw and heard that night, even if it was himself, it was impossible to deal with these special psychic beasts alone.

That large water snake alone was very troublesome.

In particular, being able to suck chakra and continue to fight is a troublesome type for most ninjas.

As for the following analysis, it is all about analyzing his personality, comprehensive ability index, and the reasons for defection.

But these analyses ...... It's just a pair of analysis data, and more intelligence needs to be obtained for analysis.

In Tsunade's opinion, the people in the Intelligence Department have done their best to analyze it to this extent.

Aside from that night's battle, the other party did not leave any valuable information, and when the shadows went to his residence, they found something worthless.

After reading this information, Tsunade sat for a while, then left the intelligence department and went to the Hokage building to meet the teacher Sarutobi Hizaki.

"Teacher Ape Fei, I want to take a leave of absence."

"Leave?"

Hinata takes a break from his busy work.

"I'm going to leave the village for a while."

Tsunade said with a serious face.

"Where to go?"

Hizai asked.

"Wet Bone Forest."

"Where slugs live?"

Hinata groaned for a moment, he was worried that Tsunade was going to investigate Shiraishi's matter, and since it wasn't for this, there would be no problem.

After all, the existence of the other party is too dangerous.

The intelligence in the Ministry of Intelligence is not comprehensive, and the deeper things have been kept secret.

"Yes, I have something I want to know from the slug."

Although the dust has settled on the resurrection of Watergate, there are still many doubts about many things.

And Tsunade thinks that the slugs of the Wet Bone Forest may know something.

"During the time I'm away, you can find someone else to take over the school's class."

◎

The land of ghosts.

In the forest, the hands of the Heavenly Feather Maiden wearing a shrine maiden costume are sealed, accumulating chakra.

Wind Escape, Thousand Faces Wind!

Countless small blades of wind that shimmered faintly white swept through the trees.

With the sound of neat cutting, the trees on both sides fell one after another, causing the earth to shake and raise dust in the forest.

This was not the end of the story, the small Wind Blade was still swirling, skimming over the surface of the fallen tree, slicing away the branches and bark, leaving only the solid inside.

In less than a minute, one person completed a task that a logging team would have barely completed in half a day.

The surrounding Oni no Kuni ninjas cheered as they used their natural energy to easily lift the trees and put them on the transport carts to begin transporting the wood back.

On the other side, the thundering pill that turned into lightning, everyone could only see its figure shuttling quickly through the forest, and then the trees fell one by one, causing jubilation.

Once again, the Sky Feather Maiden used the wind to shave off the branches and bark of the fallen trees, and transported them back by the ninjas who followed.

"It's exhausting work."

Thunder Pill returned to the shoulder of the Heavenly Feather Girl, and he was so tired that he exhaled, and even sweat appeared on his face.

Although the work is not difficult, the workload is too much.

And it was extremely chakra-intensive, and in the opinion of Thunder Pill, it was even more exhausting than fighting a Konoha ninja.

"There's still a stone mine to deal with in the mountains to the west, let's go, sister."

The Heavenly Feather Maiden flew towards the mountains to the west with the Thunder Pill.

- Shion City, the capital of the Oni Country, is a road facing the northern city where trucks are loaded with various stones, wood, and construction materials such as mud and sand.

When the residents along the way saw this scene, they knew that the military area in the northern city was going to continue to build some strange buildings.

Although they were curious about the affairs of this military area, the residents were only curious and wait-and-see, and did not mean to refuse.

Because the country of ghosts has always been a neutral country, it will not be affected by war, in the past, the country of ghosts has not developed in the military field, and the only capable existence in the country is the shrine maiden they believe in.

As long as there is a shrine maiden in this country, this country will not be affected by war, and the inhabitants of the land of oni are so convinced.

And the facts have proved that they are right.

With such a high prestige, their shrine maiden suddenly wants to set up a special military territory in the country, and these people will naturally not object.

After all, no matter what happens, the shrine maiden will bless them.

However, there are so many vehicles and various construction materials transported towards the military city to the north that one has to think that there will be some big moves over there.

A while ago, I started to build roads near Aster City, and now I don't know what buildings to build.

"Lord Shiraishi, the staff have been gathered."

The manager in charge of statistics reports to Shiraishi.

Shiraishi's current location is the northernmost part of the North City Military Region of Ziyuan City.

Because to expand from this aspect, it is impossible to expand the territory towards the residential and commercial areas, but only to continue to expand towards the backside.

Through the unremitting efforts of the ninjas within the organization, the heavy stone wall tens of meters high in the north has been dismantled, revealing a vast plain area.

At the end of the plain, there is a verdant forest, a lake, and the shadows of the mountains loom in the thick fog in the distance.

There were more than 1,000 people working this time, among which he transferred twenty ninjas who were proficient in earth escape, and fifty ninjas who had been strengthened by natural energy in strength and speed and physical arts, and the rest were ordinary workers.

Before that, these ninjas had also adapted to the construction tasks beforehand, so they could quickly get to work, after all, ninjas are very adaptable.

It's not that Shiraishi doesn't want to put all the people into it, but because this is already the limit, and there are many places that need manpower now, and it is impossible to devote all of them to construction work.

Thousands of ordinary workers, plus twenty earth ninjas and fifty physical ninjas, according to the original plan, should be able to complete the project within a month.

After all, the area to be expanded this time is very large, especially the ninja teaching area, which is an important military force of a country, and it is necessary to avoid contact with residential areas and commercial areas.

Ninjas like Konoha will have a mix of residents at all times, and their execution will be reduced, and the concept of military and civilian will be confused.

In Shiraishi's view, a ninja is a soldier of extraordinary strength, an important sector that must be developed in a rich and powerful country, and secrecy must be enforced first.

Ninja schools belong to a category of the military department and must also implement absolute secrecy measures, which are for the safety of those citizens.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Shiraishi completely separated the two different groups of the military and the people.

Residents and commercial areas are usually carried out by members of the security department who are responsible for patrol duties.

The construction work here is in full swing, and Shiraishi is walking towards another area, which has been busy for a while, and there is no time for research.

However, now the organization has gathered a lot of research talents, not only involving ninjutsu and chakra, but also studying society and history, which is also an important science that needs specialized personnel to solve.

Shiraishi didn't think that copying the knowledge from his previous life would solve everything.

The history of the development of the two worlds is very different, and there is such a special thing as chakra, and some common sense can be wrong.

It took a lot of effort for Shiraishi to find people with knowledge in this area, record all their experience and knowledge, and pass it on in the form of books.

In Shiraishi's view, the knowledge of these people is a cultural treasure worth passing on.

Knowing the nature of things, understanding the history of the past, and summing up experiences and lessons will help the world grow and mature, rather than being stuck in the distorted environment of the present.

Matter is the foundation of everything, and spiritual and ideological civilization will bring society and the world to a higher level and germinate people's will for freedom and peace.

The world of ninjas, with its own power, can only keep the problems backlogged, and then suddenly erupt in a period of time, and the continuous ninja wars are coming.

This was the case during the Warring States period, and after the establishment of the one-country-one-village system, the same was true, and the fundamental problem was not resolved.

But it's not without growth, at least, there's a complete composition of a country.

In the past, countries relied on mercenary ninja groups to invade the territory of other countries, and only had achievements in the economic and political fields, and lacked significant military power.

Because in essence, those ninjas do not belong to the nations, and this powerful military force exists independently.

After the establishment of one country and one village, the ninja tribe established the ninja village, which attracted more ninja to join, forming a powerful military force and belonging to the state.

The country is only now considered complete.

In Shiraishi's view, this is the merit of the Thousand Hands Clan and the Uchiha Clan back then, which should really be recognized.

It promotes the integrity of the country, so that the country no longer relies on hiring foreign ninja forces, but develops its own ninja military force to achieve better personnel and wealth management.

Someone is in charge of the work here, and Shiraishi needs to stay here all the time.

Next, Shiraishi plans to conduct field trips in various areas of the Oni Country to see if there are any problems that he hasn't noticed.

Shiraishi has always been convinced that without an actual investigation, there is no right to speak.

Such a person, as a leader, is a disastrous existence.

"Shiraishi-kun, aren't you going to go back tonight?"

Walking on a path leading to the countryside of the country of ghosts, Ayane is bored and finds a topic with Shiraishi.

"Well, because the investigation work takes a lot of time, we must summarize the problem as soon as possible."

"It's okay to leave this kind of thing to the people below."

"No, this is important, I'll have to look into it myself to be reassured. Road construction can be completed in three months and six months. Because you can use ninjutsu to cheat and advance the completion of the work. However, education is not good, there is no means of cheating, education is a long-term work, and it must be carried out according to the actual situation. ”

Shiraishi said.

There are ninjas in the ninja world, and they are a completely different group from ordinary people.

There is a big difference between the two educations.

You can't use the education of ordinary people to develop ninjas, nor can you use the education of ninjas to teach ordinary people.

Coupled with the national environment and family environment in which everyone lives, the choices faced will also be complex and changeable.

"It's always troublesome."

Ayane walked on this path, and because it was a remote place, the road surface was not very neat.

The road construction team has not yet started work here, and it is estimated that it will take some time before the road is paved here.

It didn't take long for them to arrive in a secluded village in the land of ghosts.

Because there is no war, even in this impoverished village, it seems that the villagers here are happy and live in peace.

Compared to most places in the ninja world, this place can be called a paradise on earth.

"Is it an outsider? It's been a long time since there have been outsiders in our village. ”

The old woman with the heavy package asked with a smile.

"Yes, mother-in-law. You look tired, I'll help you. ”

"I'm sorry, young man."

The old woman hesitated for a moment, and asked Shiraishi to carry the package she had just carried on her shoulder.

"It doesn't matter. But what's in there, so heavy? ”

Shiraishi felt that the package was heavy, so he asked curiously.

"It is a souvenir that I brought from a neighboring village...... Just go to the front. ”

"Okay."

Shiraishi took Ayane and followed the old woman into the village.

Stability is certain, but it is not linked to affluence.

"Then again, are you two a couple who are traveling?"

The old woman asked with a smile.

Before Shiraishi could answer, Ayane took the initiative to come up, squeezed her chest on Shiraishi's arm, and smiled happily at the old woman, "Yes, I'm his fiancée, right, dear?" ”

Shiraishi glanced at her speechlessly, and he really kicked his nose in the face.

"I can see that you have a good relationship."

"Well, because we're childhood sweethearts, we plan to get married after a while."

Ayane replied.

Shiraishi felt that the more Ayane spoke, the more exaggerated it became.

But that's not a lie, is it?

"Well, congratulations."

The old woman also congratulated.

Soon in front of the old woman's house, there was a single wooden house, surrounded by a courtyard wall surrounded by railings, and some wild vegetables were planted in the yard, and the life was very simple and simple.

"Put it here."

The old woman pointed to a place.

Shiraishi placed the souvenir-wrapped package on the ground beside him.

"I'm really bothering you, it's not early now, do you fiancés want to have dinner here?"

As soon as Shiraishi was about to refuse, Ayane hugged Shiraishi's arm and said with a slightly red face: "Actually, we came out to travel this time to experience rural life, so I'm sorry for you, mother-in-law." ”

"Don't bother, I'll cook, you two just feel free."

It had been a long time since she had entertained guests to eat at home, and the old woman seemed to be in a good mood and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Really, don't just make decisions for me."

Because there was no chair, Shiraishi could only sit next to him and whispered to Ayane helplessly.

"Anyway, you're here to observe the rural environment of the Oni Country, so this should be one of the field trips. And the old woman looks quite lonely, and she will be happy if we stay for dinner. ”

Ayane replied by letting go of Shiraishi's arm.

Hearing Ayane say this, although it is slightly different from his original plan, the purpose is basically the same.

He had planned to investigate the situation in the village in general and get to know the people here again tomorrow.

"Also, I'm suddenly looking forward to tonight, and the countryside seems to be pretty good."

A beautiful smile appeared on Ayane's face.
