"What's wrong, Watergate?"

Kusina asked when he saw that Mizumon looked different.

Mizuto turned his head to look at the street next door and shook his head slightly, "No, I seem to have heard Kakashi's voice just now." ”

But thinking about the crazy look of that voice, I guess I heard it wrong.

He jumped up on the house, and sure enough, he didn't see Kakashi.

So he looked around at Konoha with emotion.

He has been away from Konoha for a whole year.

Since becoming a human pillar force, Mr. Jiraiya has returned to Konoha ahead of schedule, and he has also signed a contract with Miaomu Mountain.

Because Kusinai was favored, he jointly contracted Myoki Mountain.

Both of them needed to better grasp the power of the tailed beast, so they concentrated on cultivating in Miaomu Mountain.

The Tailed Beast's unexpected cooperation allowed them to practice twice as effectively with half the effort.

While cultivating the Tailed Beast mode, Shuimen is constantly improving his fighting style.

What made them decide to come back first was the last time the teacher went to visit them at Myoki Mountain, he was so distraught.

"Do you feel anything strange about Watergate?"

Kushina looked at the street suspiciously, at the people who came and went.

Inexplicably, the atmosphere is very oppressive.

It's completely different from the Konoha she remembered in peacetime.

Is there another war?

"Ah, I feel it."

Watergate frowned slightly when he heard the occasional gossip wafting in.

He fumbled in his pockets and took out the money to go to the vegetable market below.

It didn't take long for his face to come out.

Kusina listened to the speeches of the aunts and uncles, and was even more surprised for a long time.

This solemn atmosphere thought it was some kind of war, but in the end, it was just because the mission of the White Fang seniors failed?

But as a ninja, who doesn't have a few failed missions?

"The consequences of the failure of the mission of the White Fang seniors are particularly serious?"

Kushina looked at the water gate, his face full of puzzlement.

Those few people said that the White Fang predecessors secretly connected with the power of the Rain Country, and they looked like they were doing things.

But she thought about it and couldn't find a reason why the White Fang seniors would do this.

Shui Men's gaze swept in several directions one after another, and he shook his head: "The focus is not on the task. ”

He keenly noticed that something wasn't quite right with the ninja hiding nearby.

In the past, they were all members of the dark department, but now the breath is not right.

Moreover, these strange ninjas, the focus is not on them.

That is, what task they themselves are responsible for on the street.

Watergate thought of this way, and the villagers who are still hotly discussed-

Even if ordinary people are interested in a topic, most people still do their own thing after discussing it, and then either forget it or slowly bring it up again.

From the time I returned to Konoha to the present, there have been many conversations about the failure of the White Fang's mission, as if someone was talking about it on the street all the time, and even new speculations came out from time to time.

Originally, Watergate thought that those strange ninjas were responsible for monitoring the villagers, collecting information, or suppressing the spread of information.

But now, it seems, they are doing nothing.

Even, Watergate wondered if they were spreading it on purpose.

If so, then who are they, and how can they be unscrupulous and unattended in the village?

"Let's go to Qimu's house."

Mizumon had a bad premonition in his heart, and took Kusina to the door of Qimu's house.

As a result, the door was called for a long time, and the door was only half opened.

Kakashi saw them, slightly disappointed, and closed the door without saying a word.

Outside the door, the two were silent.

Mizuto felt more and more that something was wrong, and looked in the direction of the Hokage Building: "What do they want to do?" ”

persecuting the Qimu family like this without concealment.

Do you have to force the white fang's predecessors to rebel against the village and force them to give up their ninja careers to be satisfied?

If the White Fang seniors sink or defect, what about the night?

Mizuto suppressed the irritability in his heart and said to Kushina: "I'll go to the Hokage Building to have a look, Kushina, you go to Uchiha to see how Yuya reacts." ”

Such dirty means cannot be continued.

Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable.

Maybe the top brass just wanted that kind of consequence, but Watergate couldn't accept it.

The two knew that the matter was urgent and set off separately.

Mizumon did not hide his identity and rushed directly from the roof to the Hokage Building.

After reporting his identity, he entered, and before he reached the top office, he saw the teacher Jiraiya on the second floor walking out of the office with a depressed face, followed by two members of the dark department.

Zilai was a little surprised to see the water gate, scratching his face, looking decadent and not awake: "Yo water gate, why did you come back?" ”

When Shuimen saw the teacher, his heart settled down a little, and he wanted to ask, but he looked at the members of the dark department behind Jiraiya, and he was embarrassed.

Jiraiya also turned around, "I'll talk to the students, it's not enough, right?" ”

After speaking, he turned around, opened the office door just now, and beckoned to the water gate: "Let's talk inside." ”

The water gate entered the door with a vigilant gaze from the dark department, and when the door closed, he couldn't wait to say, "Teacher, who are you?" ”

After opening his mouth first, he noticed that the office had been temporarily converted into a bedroom.

The scruffy quilts and snack bags were scattered on the floor, and only the small table next to the manuscript was clean.

Is this house arrest in the Hokage Building?

Watergate was shocked, the situation seemed to be more complicated than he thought.

Jiraiya unscrewed the kettle and poured a glass of water for the water gate: "It seems that the old man has gone too far." ”

Shuimen was not in the mood to drink water, so he pinched the water cup and asked, "What happened in the village during this time?" And the teacher, you're ......."

Jiraiya scratched his head, indifferent look: "It's nothing wrong with me." ”

Jilai is also under house arrest here, which is actually somewhat related to the mission of the White Fang.

The cause is the mysterious rise of the Land of Rain, the organization that envelops the hearts of the people at the bottom and expands rapidly.

It's just that the daimyo of the village and the land of fire don't know who is operating in secret.

But I also know something.

As the master of Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato, Jiraiya noticed the small organization they formed early.

Originally, he thought it was just a small fight, but he didn't expect to suddenly change his strategy last year, and quickly ignite the country of rain like a fire in the prairie fire.

Konoha follows the opinion of the Fire Nation and feels that it is necessary to stop it.

So he quickly found Jilaiya.

But it's obviously the intelligence chief's self-origin, but he doesn't know anything about this kind of thing that happens under his nose?

This certainly can't be fooled, but considering his identity, he is temporarily under house arrest in the Hokage Building to enjoy 24-hour surveillance in the shadows.

Naturally, I know some.

The reason why he didn't say it was simple -

For he thought it was Nagato, the son of prophecy.

Because the people of the Land of Rain did regain their vitality when he left.

The toad immortal said that the son of prophecy saved the world, and this was probably the beginning of the attempt to save the world.

How could it be interrupted by the self?

Especially when the situation itself is on the bright side.

Zilai also has his own problems, and his words are simple, and he doesn't want to involve Watergate.

On the question of Watergate, he continued: "What you said about the White Fangs......"

He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I didn't expect the teacher to be so laissez-faire. ”

Shuimen was curious: "Those who spread rumors are the people of Tuanzang?" ”

Jiraiya nodded and pointed out the door: "The people in the shadows are busy working nearby, I count here every day, and they didn't do it." The ones outside should be the root organization of the group, and that guy is the best at doing this kind of thing. ”

Watergate pondered and sketched out the general context of the matter.

- Danzo is jealous of White Fang's fame and seeks an opportunity to suppress White Fang, while the three generations of Hokage sit idly by.

He couldn't help but ask, "What about the night?" How did he react? ”

Jiraiya touched his chin: "No reaction." ”

Seeing that the teacher was not alert, Watergate smiled bitterly.

The lack of response is the biggest problem.

That guy has a very weak affection for Konoha in the early days......

Watergate stood up and apologized, "I'll go up there first." ”

Jiraiya waved his hand, signaling that there was nothing wrong with him here, but after thinking about it, he suggested: "There is almost no possibility of turning things around, you... Take it easy. ”

Watergate nodded, but didn't take it to heart.

The teacher was worried about his future, but Watergate never cared about the future.

Because this kind of future is not what he wants.

Watergate went upstairs with a heavy heart.

In the Hokage's office, the three generations and Danzou are there.

The two seemed to be talking about something just now, sitting very close.

Seeing the water gate come in, Tuan Zang glanced at it, then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

To say that what he is most unaccustomed to now, in addition to the white teeth, is the wave wind and water gate in front of him.

He is young, but he has a lot of momentum.

Ape Feiri knocked on the ashtray with a cigarette stick: "The water gate is back, how is your cultivation?" ”

After dealing with a few words absentmindedly, Shuimen pretended to be curious: "When I just came back, something big seemed to have happened in the village?" I think everybody is talking about it. ”

Tuan Zang suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly: "Oh? Don't know what's going on? So what did you inquire about before? What are the changes in prices in the wet market? ”

Mizumon was shocked, but he didn't expect that the news that he had just inquired about with Kushina had now reached Tuanzang's ears.

He said unhurriedly: "The national affairs discussed in the vegetable market always feel unreliable. The white fang seniors will have something to do with the country of rain, this... It should be a folk joke, right? ”

Tuan Zang smiled coldly when he heard this, but Yu Guang glanced at the ape flying sun.

Constantly hyping up the failure of the White Fang mission and the wrath of the Fire Nation is indeed the handiwork of his roots.

But White Fang is in collusion with the country of rain, and only he knows this heart-wrenching words, this is the material of his old friend Ape Fei Ri.

Tuan Zang still doesn't understand whether his old partner really thinks it or speculates maliciously.

Ape Feiri groaned, looked into the eyes of the water gate, and said slowly: "Although the organization started this year, the prototype began two or three years ago. Around the Serpentine Canyon and the town of Dongbo, it is called the Little Organization. ”

Mizumon silently sketched the map in his mind, and suddenly his heart was shocked, and after realizing that the Hokage's eyes were extremely piercing.

That time and place, if you insist on having something to do with Konoha - the Uchiha Yuya met the conditions back then.

The night became famous in the Serpentine Canyon, circulating in those small towns......

If the object of suspicion is someone else, perhaps the person present will ask more: What about the motive?

But Watergate opened his mouth and wanted to say these three words, but he couldn't say it under the gaze of the three generations.

In the end, Watergate could only say, "...... White Fang's seniors won't. ”

Ape Feiri's smile bloomed, and it seemed to be drizzling again: "Yes, so this argument is also nonsense, and the people are speculating wildly." ”

How is it possible for Watergate Heart Dao, there is no ghost behind this scale to believe.

His gaze slowly turned to Danzang.

The ape flew to the sun, and if there was nothing, he glanced at Tuan Zang.

Tuan Zang was stunned and looked at the ape flying in the sun, and said a dirty word in his heart, not knowing whether to say it or not.

There was a brief silence in the office.

But Watergate came to solve the problem, so he said: "Since it is nonsense, then as long as the investigation is clear, everything will be understood." I apply to continue with the mission! ”

If you don't complete a mission, as long as the mission objective doesn't disappear, you can continue to complete the mission.

This is normal, not an opportunity to eradicate dissidents.

Since the White Fang seniors fell here, the water gate continues from the place where the seniors fell.

But his proposal was rejected.

Ape Feiri shook his head and said, "Shuimen, you have to get used to your current identity. What is the current situation of Renzhuli, I believe I don't need to repeat it too much. The mission will definitely continue, and I've already started arranging for someone to investigate. ”

When Watergate heard this, his heart sank.

This is to make the things of the White Fang's predecessors into iron eucalyptus.

He can't go, and so naturally he can't go as a person who is suspected by the Hokage.

How the people who went there investigated and what results they came up with were completely under the control of the top.

Shuimen lowered his head slightly, looked at the chair under Ape Feiri, and sighed helplessly.

He gave a quick report on the progress of Myogiyama's cultivation and left the Hokage Building.

Outside, he finds an opportunity to transform and turn around and leave.

Outside, everyone knows that the White Fang-senpai gave up his mission to save his companion, but no one cares who that companion is and what injuries he has suffered.

Judging from the current situation, the matter of the White Fang's predecessor is by no means a temporary intention of the high-level.

Since it was arranged in advance, most of the people who accompanied the seniors of White Fang had problems!

It's not difficult to know who you're traveling with.

Since the high-level wants to do this, in order to ensure the success rate of the mission, they will definitely give priority to finding ninjas that White Fang knows.

Watergate found the former comrades-in-arms of White Fang's predecessors, and it didn't take much effort to confirm the target - there was no need to deliberately investigate, White Fang's former comrades-in-arms were also not angry with the village's practices, and investigated it early to know who "betrayed" White Fang.

"Shinsuke, Nakashinobi, wife Tomoko Maemura is seriously ill......"

Watergate recalled the information, biting his lip, his eyes angry.

This is the death hole of the white tooth seniors!

The poor couple lived in a relatively remote location, and it was nearly evening when the water gate was found.

However, as soon as he found the middle of nowhere, he saw thick black smoke rising into the sky.

Watergate was stunned and hurriedly ran over.

I saw a dilapidated house, which had burned to the point of losing its shape.

There are firefighting ninjas around and are trying to redeem it.

But it was too late.

Only two charred corpses were lifted out of the rubble.

The neighbors next to him talked a lot, and many people sighed:

"Hey, it's not easy for Shinsuke, I heard that he was quite talented before, and he might even become a shinobi."

"Isn't it? Who would have thought that Tomoko would be so sick, and all the money and energy of the new help would be spent on her, and the result would still be ......"

"Shinsuke is too extreme, forget it, Tomoko is fine, why should he be martyred?"

"Hey, I've heard that Shinsuke has something to do with that white fang, do you think it could be ......?"

Watergate stared blankly at the two twisted corpses, his mind blank.

For a long time, he looked at the black and red sky along the black smoke and sighed secretly.

"You... It's really playing with fire. ”
