Wait, Orochimaru took out the detailed documents of this water-stopping mission, and emphasized this at this time, could it be that he wanted to ......

"Red Bean, from now on, you go to the country of grass to take over the Uchiha Shisui to complete this task. So that he can return to Konoha in the shortest possible time to report. ”

"Huh? Uchiha Suzumi ...... Is it the famous 'instantaneous water stop'? Hongdou took the document and looked at it carefully, "It's really true!" ”

"You'll be shown the mission details, not the photos." Orochimaru slammed a shudder on the little head of the red bean.

"Oh good~" Hongdou immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and then began to carefully flip through the documents, but after just a few minutes, he smiled and said, "Remember everything." ”

"Then you get ready, and you can go now."

"Okay~" Hongdou replied with a smile on his face, "I'll see you in half a month, teacher!" ”

Soon, the girl's figure disappeared into the Hokage's office.

Oh yes, she's through the window.

After the red bean left, Orochimaru let out a long breath: "In this way, the problem of stopping water is solved." Hurry up, and within a week, he'll be on to the front line to join you. ”

That's all there is to it.

But is it reliable to let a shinobi like Hongdou perform an A-level task that can only be taken by a ninja?

Soon Orochimaru explained: "I've been bringing red beans for the past two years, and she learns quickly and has a good talent. ”

"If she can't even complete this little A-level task now, then she is not qualified to continue to be my Orochimaru's apprentice."

This is a shinobi after all......

However, Konoha seems to have always had a tradition of shinobi going on S-class missions.

But in any case, being Orochimaru's apprentice is indeed quite risky, but fortunately, he has already fished Megumi back in advance.

"Okay, then I'll go to the front first." Qing Shui didn't forget his other main purpose, "There is also the matter of the three tails, you have to find a way to get it done as soon as possible." ”

Mentioning the three tails again, Orochimaru's voice was a little bitter: "I can only say, do your best." ”

Qing Shui shrugged his shoulders and didn't break Orochimaru's shirk, and finally he said goodbye to him: "I hope that this operation can completely solve the trouble of Wuyin." ”

"Ah, April-kun, please."

……

After leaving Orochimaru, Shimizu also went to visit Kosuke-sensei, but unfortunately, the other party was not in the village.

That night, he returned to his long-lost home and wiped the dust on the tabletop, and a white mark appeared.

When he came to the bedroom, he counted the supplies on his body, dry food, kunai, soldier food pills, and detonation charms, and finally took down the brand-new knife hanging on the wall.

Slowly drawing the blade, a striking silver light flashed, and then the sword was sheathed.

After checking all the clothes, Qing Shui finally glanced at the empty house, and finally gently closed the door.

How many times has this been?

Qing Shui can't remember anymore.

He only knew that now Konoha had reached a moment of danger again.

Just as he was about to leave the village, a slightly slumped figure appeared in front of him.

Three generations of Hokage.

This is the first time the two have met since the last time they faced each other.

"Qing Shui, let's go."

"Yes."

"I see you were only discharged from the hospital today."

"I've been in a hospital bed long enough."

After a short silence, the three generations of Hokage said slowly, "Old man, I'm sorry to tell you. ”

Although Qing Shui's injury was not directly caused by the three generations of Hokage, it was indeed because of his pressing step by step and ended up seriously injured.

And according to Orochimaru, if he hadn't arrived in time at that time, he could have arranged for Shimizu to have a funeral.

"It's already gone." Qing Shui's tone was calm and indifferent, "It's normal to have political disagreements. ”

"Thankfully, it didn't lead to any worse results." The third Hokage changed his words and continued, "Orochimaru has already told us all about his experiments. ”

"Among his experiments on eternal life ......"

“…… is wrong. ”

Qing Shui quietly listened to the other party's explanation.

"I've always had a little worry in my heart that Orochimaru's paranoia might lead Konoha to a point of no return."

"I used to be able to watch him all the time, and if he really went the wrong way, maybe I could bring him back."

"However, he has now become the fourth Hokage, and there is no one who can stop him anymore."

"So I thought, if possible, please Qing Shui, you can help watch more."

But what Orochimaru really wants to do, he can't stop it in April Qingshui.

"Overseeing what the four generations of Hokage do is your Konoha higher-ups, not me."

Shimizu sternly rejected this responsibility that should not have belonged to him.

Of course, if Orochimaru really fell into darkness, then he was indeed responsible.

"However, if Orochimaru does something to hurt Konoha, I will naturally not stay out of it."

Hearing this, the third generation finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good......"

There was another silent silence.

Another figure with long white hair appeared in Qing Shui's mind: "What about Jiraiya seniors?" ”

"Zilaiya, I've gone to Yuyin to track Xiaoxiao's traces. I don't know how long it will take. Speaking of Jiraiya, the tone of the three generations of Hokage was a little gloomy, "Tsunade is also gone." ”

"Luckily, you've grown into a ninja who can stand on your own."

He was indeed a little surprised by the appearance of the three generations of Hokage, and in his imagination, the two should be strangers from now on.

After the last battle, he believed that not only him, but also the other party probably didn't have much trust in him anymore.

They are neither master nor apprentice, nor are they related by blood, so some rifts once they arise can never be repaired.

So for this conversation, he even doubted how sincere the other party was.

Was it just to appease him that he had arranged this chance encounter?

But no matter what, he really didn't care much about the other party's opinion anymore.

Looking at the old man who was nearly 60 years old under the moonlight, his back seemed to be hunched even more, and the sequelae after the battle with Madara seemed to have become a dark disease in his life.

In fact, the last time he fought with him, Qing Shui had already clearly felt the decline of the opponent's physical skills, and in his memory, the speed and strength of the three generations of Hokage should be stronger.

After all, the glorious era of the three generations of Hokage has passed, and now Konoha has ushered in a new era.

Thinking so, Shimizu said, "I'm just for Konoha. ”

"yes, it's all for Konoha." The three generations of Hokage finally said, "And Konoha ...... Always your home. ”

After a brief pause, the clear water finally disappeared into the moonlight.
