Chapter 42: The curtain of the conspiracy
I don't want to continue to dwell on this topic, there is no point in discussing it, the facts are relatively clear, and I understand that there must be a problem here.
But this problem is something they can't explain through speculation, and they can only go back and slowly investigate it clearly.
"Let's go back!"
Jiraiya spoke slowly, he understood that now that their mission was over, in the actual meaning of the mission, their team had completed delivering the supplies to the front of the station.
In addition, the ninjas in the station have already awakened, and there is no need for them to stay here.
"Yes!"
Mizumon was the first to speak, and there was still obvious unwillingness on his face, but he also understood that there was no point in venting his emotions here for such a thing, and after a few follow-up questions from Araki, he suddenly realized that someone in the village had reported the news, and it was not clear who that person was, let alone whether there were other ghosts in the station, who were monitoring their situation.
"Yes!"
Araki and Kushina then responded, and the three of them did not answer together, and immediately got up one after another, ready to embark on the way back.
"Are you alright?"
Araki looked at Kushina, who got up from the ground next to him, he could clearly see Kushina's face was pale, it was a very weak feeling, it seemed that he did not recover from the appearance of the Nine-Tails, but was very tired, which made his heart think silently.
"Well, it's okay, thank you."
Kushina glanced at Araki meaningfully, even in Jiraiya-sensei's words, Araki seemed to have been in a coma in the station, but she just had a very strong feeling that Araki was involved in this matter, but she didn't have any evidence now.
All of a sudden.
Kushina had a feeling of confusion.
It was a reality that made her not know what she should believe to know, the feeling of believing in herself at that time.
"Let's eat a soldier food pill!"
Araki took out a soldier food pill from the ninja bag, this is not a soldier food pill in the traditional sense, but it was researched in the Orochimaru laboratory, containing extremely strong black technology, not only has a sense of satiety, but also can restore chakra and physical fitness, if there is not much consumption for a period of time, then it is enough to be able to survive two or three days.
After Araki's observation, he had already seen that Kushina's physical strength and chakra were greatly consumed, and it seemed that it was because the tailed beast had consumed too much physical energy.
This was not what he expected.
According to Araki's understanding of the tailed beast, he originally thought that after the chakra of the Nine-Tails surged into Kushina's body, it would make Kushina's body achieve a recovery effect, after all, Naruto had also had such a thing, plus Kushina himself is a member of the Uzumaki clan, with physical abilities far beyond ordinary people, but he still looks weak.
In this way, Araki speculated in his heart that the chakra borrowed from the tailed beast should have a recovery effect on the human pillar power, but the tailed beast should have a greater consumption of the human pillar power.
"Thank you!"
Kushina thanked him again, raised his hand and took the Bing Grain Pill handed over by Araki, and stuffed it directly into his mouth without hesitation.
Such a scene fell into the eyes of Zi Laiye, and a faint stream of light burst out from the child's hole.
Trust!
This is the most natural trust!
Kushina's trust in Araki has reached the point where he doesn't think twice!
Even if the two are companions, it is extremely rare to be able to do this level, after all, the trust between many people is only maintained as a superficial trust.
"Let's go!"
Zilai didn't say anything more, opened the tent, and a dark cool air hit.
It was only at this time that Kushina realized that it was already dark outside, and compared to the light in the tent, the quiet night outside was filled with a strong sense of mystery.
"How long have I been unconscious?" Kushina asked involuntarily.
"A few hours." Araki replied.
"That's okay......" Kushina nodded immediately, such a time was still within his acceptance, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and followed out of the tent.
Followed by......
Jiraiya took three disciples to return to Konoha Village in the opposite direction.
Maybe it's because they didn't encounter any great danger when they came, or maybe it's because they just experienced something like that, and everyone is running extremely fast, but in the process, almost everyone is silent, thinking about something completely different.
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
……
Before I knew it, the night had passed, and the Jiraiya team had been on the road all night, until the sun shone through the woods, and several people suddenly woke up from that immersive state.
Everyone has different things on their minds.
After Araki's questioning, Jiraiya has already understood that there is a situation of internal ghosts among the high-level people of Konoha Village, and leaked Kushina's information.
Of course, it's not just Kushina's intelligence, but also the fact that they went out on a mission, and it's also very clear.
Only in this way can they reach the Konoha Village station, they will encounter a sneak attack at the first time, and then those things that will follow.
This made Jiraiya's mood particularly heavy, he has always been a big grinning character, understanding that the village will not be so simple, but he is not willing to participate in the whirlpool of these rights, that is not suitable for him.
In contrast, he still prefers to travel the world, see more scenery, meet more people, and find the child of destiny that belongs to the mouth of the great toad fairy.
But......
Now this mission, almost directly and forcibly stuffed the darkness of Konoha Village into his head, forcing him to think about such a question.
In Jiraiya's mind, several big question marks appeared, pointing to extremely focused questions.
Is that person a Japanese slash teacher?
Why did you sell the Nine-Tails?
Is there some conspiracy in this that even he hasn't figured out?
Zilai also thought about such a question all night, thinking about it made his head hurt incomparably, this kind of intrigue was not very good for him at the time, and he still preferred to think about writing the plot in comparison.
The problem that Mizumon thinks about is not the same as Jirai, but he thinks in a similar direction, that is, he understands that someone in Konoha Village has leaked information, but he does not completely point to a certain high-level, and there is no specific target of suspicion, but he just finds such a thing really difficult to accept.
The information he knew greatly affected his cognition, including the fact that Kushina was the Nine-Tails Pillar Force and that he was the last person to know about it.
According to the reaction in the team, Jiraiya-sensei knew, Araki also knew, and Kusina himself was naturally extremely clear......
Then he is the only one who just found out!
This kind of information brought him a great shock, and he learned about the concept of human pillar power in the past when he studied in the ninja school, and he even knew that there was a nine-tailed human pillar force in the village, but he didn't know who that person was.
I have to say, in fact, in the interior of Konoha Village, this kind of secret is still quite good, and the vast majority of people in the village are not aware of the existence of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, which also led to the Nine-Tails Rebellion, most of the people thought that it was the so-called demon fox invasion, which caused Naruto to bear an extremely miserable childhood.
However, the inner secrecy of the village is well known to everyone in the outer village, and many offensive plans have been made accordingly, which makes Watergate extremely unhappy.
Unconsciously, Mizumon had silently and secretly made up his mind that when he became Hokage in the future, he would definitely manage the chaos in the village, better serve the people in the village, and bring greater peace to the village.
All night, Mizumon was thinking about Kushina, his mind was messy, and there were so many things that he hadn't figured out yet.
Kushina was completely detoured into a dead end that belonged to her own heart.
There was only one thing she could think about......
Is Araki at the scene or not?
Kushina didn't think about the Nine-Tails, she knew that the Nine-Tails had inexplicably returned to the iron cage and was successfully resealed by her, such a well-behaved posture was something she didn't expect at all, and even had a feeling of unreality, always thinking that it was not an illusion.
If she hadn't woken up from the tent and heard the words of Jiraiya, she might not have been able to tell the difference between reality and dreams.
But......
Since it's true!
Then she felt Araki's presence very clearly at that time, and also went to stop the Nine-Tails.
Are these all fake?
I don't believe it!
There was a hint of resoluteness in Kushina's confused eyes.
In her heart, she still believes that Araki did appear by her side, but she is not particularly clear in her heart about what it is, and she doesn't know how Araki manages to hide people's eyes, but, based on past experience, she understands that Araki is very good at this.
Araki's heart is clearer than these people, after all, he has more information, and with the support of intelligence, he will have a greater degree of certainty in the direction of thinking.
A thread has been strung in his mind, and of course, there are some things that are not very clear.
Cloud Hidden Village Ninja Invasion!
Sand Hidden Village Ninja Sneak Attack!
There are ghosts in the upper echelons of the village!
The Uzumaki Clan has not been wiped out!
These several things are connected together, so that Araki's heart began to think silently, as far as the first point is concerned, it is something that has appeared in previous history, but the next three points have not appeared.
According to the past historical trajectory, the Sand Hidden Village has not attacked Konoha Village, and the upper echelons of the village do not seem to have such internal ghosts who betray the power of human pillars, and the Uzumaki clan should not continue to exist.
Why did the village of Sand Hide arrest Kushinai?
Is it really for the Nine-Tails?
But......
What's the use of asking for nine tails in Shayin Village?
At this point in time, the Sand Hidden Village has not been able to completely control even a single Shouhe, let alone risk breaking with Konoha Village and fighting to sneak attack and kidnap Kushina.
This approach is exactly the same as that of Yunyin Village!
Is it really for the Nine-Tails?
But if it's not for the Nine-Tails, what other reason is there?
Araki couldn't think of it.
He felt that the crux of the problem was on the Nine-Tails, which was a hunt for the human pillar force, but the news of the human pillar force was spread from within Konoha Village.
Who is that person?
Danzo?
Araki's heart is not very sure!
Although many of the dark things in Konoha Village were handled by Danzo, Araki understood that Danzo essentially wanted to be the Hokage, and some of the things he did were indeed for the betterment of the village in a sense.
Such a person can do shady things for the sake of the village, but he may not do anything to betray the village.
This is also an important reason why Araki did not completely point the object of suspicion at Danzo, but this did not make him completely dismiss Danzo, because there is another factor, which is the conditions that Danzou did not have in the previous historical trajectory, or the conditions that have been made.
That's ......
The Uzumaki Clan is still there!
Araki didn't know if the existence of the Uzumaki Clan had an impact on this matter, after all, Kushina was a member of the Uzumaki Clan.
Even if this is a question involving the power of the Nine-Tails Pillar, it doesn't seem to have a particularly obvious connection with the Uzumaki clan, but, in Kushina's body, in essence, it can not be identified as a Konoha ninja, or a ninja from the Vortex Hidden Village, so sending Kushina away won't violate the dark justice that is silently guarded in his heart?
Araki even thought about the logic of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force.
If the people of the Uzumaki clan did not die, then when Kusina died or encountered an accident, the Nine-Tails would continue to be sealed in the body of the Uzumaki clan again.
So......
Is the Nine-Tails a weapon of Konoha Village or a weapon of Vortex Hidden Village?
Araki had never thought about such a question before, that was since he was watching the Naruto anime, and he didn't have any concept of the Uzumaki clan, but he knew that it was a descendant of Asura, and he had a strong vitality like the Thousand Hands clan, which was very suitable for becoming a container for tailed beasts, that is, human pillar power, and even the eye of reincarnation could withstand it, and he also mastered the extremely feared sealing technique......
If these reasons are true......
Then Araki feels that the choice of the so-called "inner ghost" does not seem so difficult to understand.
In essence, this is still a game between politics and interests, but Araki can't guess what the specific situation is and what the top leaders of each village think.
But......
Araki faintly felt ......
The curtain of a conspiracy is slowly opening around Kushina!
There was an extremely strong feeling in his heart that this kind of thing had absolutely nothing to do with the Uzumaki clan, but there was nothing that could prove his suspicion right now.
The address was modified for various reasons
