The way back was faster than when they went, and before a few people could react, they had already returned to the area outside Konoha Village.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, I often go to a strange place, and when I go, I feel that it takes a long time, and when I come back, it will seem less slow.

Not to mention that everyone is like an arrow, each with different things in their hearts, hoping to return to the village soon.

Until the moment Jiraiya stopped, several people suddenly saw a familiar picture with the past.

"This is ......"

In the turquoise blue eyes of the Water Gate, there were flickering waves, and he had already recognized that this was the place where they were besieged by the ninjas of Yunyin Village when they came out of Konoha Village.

As Mizumon recognized this place, Araki and Kushina also recognized it.

All of a sudden.

There is a sense in everyone's heart that things are wrong.

Watergate's face was extremely serious, he stared at the traces of the battle that still existed on the ground, after all, they had only been here for a few days, and no one had bothered to clean up these traces, but they could still be maintained for a while, and they were not easily damaged.

On such a basis, Shuimen, who has a heart in his heart, has experienced the things of the front-line station, and when he sees these traces again, he has an indescribable sigh in his heart.

It's as if everything happened yesterday, but a long time ago.

It was a very special feeling, they hadn't been here for a few days, it was fine as if it had just happened yesterday, but it gave them the feeling that it had been a long time.

"I don't know if those people from Yunyin Village have been asked something......

Mizuto muttered to himself, and suddenly there was a feeling in his heart that mountain rain was coming, and then the corner of his eye unconsciously looked in the direction of Araki, and his eyes flashed with complicated colors.

"During this time, you are tired, I will invite you to dinner when I go back." He also deliberately diverted the topic, and along the way he deliberately avoided the topics that might arise involving the village, which he couldn't say clearly now, and the discussion of this situation was meaningless, and then said: "Let's hand in the task." ”

"Yes."

The three of them said in unison.

……

Jiraiya took the three of them into the huge gate of Konoha Village, the gate seemed to be open all the time, and there were no people who saw any handles, but they knew very well in their hearts that the village had an enchantment, and as long as outsiders came in, they would feel it, and this was just a superficial unguarded.

After entering the village, they didn't have any stagnation, and walked directly in the direction of the Hokage's office, after all, they had to submit the task and confirm the completion of the commission, so that not only would they be in a record of completing the task, but they could also get paid for the task in the first place.

Just as they came downstairs to the Hokage's office, Jiraiya stopped, and as he stopped, the three Araki also stopped.

"I know that you have emotions in your hearts, and it is very normal to have emotions when encountering such a thing, but, as a ninja, you can't be swayed by emotions, I promise you, I will try my best to find out about this matter, please believe me!" Jiraiya lowered his voice and said, with an unquestionable resoluteness in his tone, "So, in order not to startle the snake, don't say anything, don't show any emotions, everything is as if nothing has happened!" ”

"Understood."

Araki nodded first, he was very familiar with this kind of thing, he had been in Konoha Village for so many years, he had no other skills, he didn't mess with other things, put away his curiosity, this kind of thing can still be done.

Not only that, but now that he is taking the lead in showing his attitude, he can give Jiraiya the greatest help, and when there are other things in the future, Jilai will not embarrass him.

"I see." Mizuto nodded, his face was gloomy, he was still in the spirit of a teenager now, far from reaching the calmness of becoming a Hokage in the future, and he was also the most worried existence at this moment.

Kusina nodded silently and didn't say anything, she didn't have a particularly strong anger about these things, especially after seeing Watergate's emotions, she calmed down.

Even she herself didn't know what kind of mentality it was.

As early as when she was a student at the ninja school, she was attacked by the ninjas of Cloud Hidden Village, and at that time it was Araki who saved her and helped her block everything.

After that, she didn't deliberately wait, but she didn't wait for the village's response, those things were as if they had never happened, she didn't complain, but she was a little unrestrained and disheartened.

Kusina doesn't have a special idea about Konoha Village, there is nothing to fight for, and there is nothing to complain about, rather than paying attention to some of the village's explanations for her, it is better to care about Araki's attitude.

That's why.

Kushina's heart is still very calm.

Even if there was no explanation from Jiraiya, she didn't plan to ask the village anything at this point in time, after all, this was something that happened in the station, and it hadn't happened in the village yet.

She didn't even investigate the affairs in the village, let alone the affairs outside the village, she knew too well that what happened in the station was just their speculation, and there was no evidence at all to show that the ninjas in the Sand Hidden Village knew that they were human pillars, maybe they had some other purpose in capturing them.

Compared with......

Kushina wanted to know if Araki wasn't there when she turned into a tailed beast, and if there was anything I didn't do.

After receiving affirmative replies from several people, Jiraiya nodded silently and led the three of them towards the Hokage's office, the reason why he explained this was that in his heart, he had already begun to doubt his teacher, the third generation Hokage.

Even he didn't know exactly why he thought that way, but this kind of thing was like planting a seed, and as long as this thought arises, it will take root unconsciously.

As Jiraiya said, he will investigate what happened very seriously, not only to give Kusina an explanation, but also to give himself an explanation, he wants to find out whether this has anything to do with his teacher.

Followed by.

Jiraiya took the three of them to the door of the Hokage's office on the second floor, knocked lightly, and slowly pushed the door open until he heard the voices of the three generations inside.

Jiraiya was the first to walk in, followed by the water gate, followed by Kushina, and the last one was Araki.

After the four of them walked in, they stood in a row, and their eyes fell on the three generations behind the desk, at this moment, the three generations were wearing a Hokage robe, with a pipe in the corner of their mouth, and they were holding a pen to comment on the scroll on the table.

"Three generations of Hokage-sama, we've completed our mission." After being silent for a few seconds, Zilai said, "The supplies have been safely delivered to the forward station. ”

"You're fast." The three generations looked up at Jiraiya, and then their eyes swept over the three of them, a smile appeared on their faces, and they seemed to be very satisfied with their efficiency, and said, "Rest for two days, and then give you a task." ”

"Yes!" The four of them immediately responded.

"Is the forward station alright?" Seeing that Zilai didn't mean to leave, the three generations asked questions as if they had nothing to say.

"It's not very good." Jiraiya seemed to be waiting for such a question, shook his head, and said, "After we arrived at the station, we were attacked by the ninjas of Sand Hidden Village, and finally as a last resort, we killed all the ninjas of Sand Hidden Village who attacked us. ”

"What?!"

The three generations stood up suddenly, and after hearing Jiraiya's words, they were immediately shocked, and they didn't care about the scroll in their hands at all, and the whole person felt a buzzing of their brains.

Sneak attack?

Kill?

What's the situation?

Did there be bloodshed?!

After hearing such a thing, Miyo immediately smelled the breath of war, which was the last thing he wanted to see at the moment, and of course, it was something he didn't want to happen in the future.

"What the hell is going on?"

The three generations took a few deep breaths in a row, their faces became extremely solemn, their eyes flashed with a strong look of inquiry, and they stared at Jiraiya expectantly, hoping that the latter would give him an answer.

Jilai also looked at the three generations, since he said such words, his eyes have not been taken away, he has been paying attention to the changes in the expressions and eyes of the three generations, and can feel that the three generations are indeed very surprised, this kind of information is beyond the latter's expectations.

It seems that it is not the teacher of the day slash!

A boulder hanging in Jiraiya's heart fell.

What he was most worried about was that the inner ghost was Hichichi-sensei, which would be equivalent to saying that there was a problem with the Hokage of Konoha Village, that is, there was a big problem from the root, and then the problem would be too difficult to handle.

On the contrary, as long as the three generations are fine, then many things can be solved.

"Hmmm......"

Jiraiya pursed his lips and looked around, there was no one in the Hokage's office now, and his eyes were like looking at the air.

However, Araki still has a very good understanding of Jiraiya's movements, and from the time he came here, he had already sensed the presence of a lot of aura here.

Other words......

There are only three generations of people in the Hokage's office on the surface, but in fact, there are still many pairs of eyes staring, it should be the people of the Hokage's direct shadow department, as well as some ninjas who work here.

After all, if there is any problem, Miyo only needs to snap his fingers, and a ninja will immediately appear in the office, and he can pass on his meaning without him getting up.

After the three generations saw Jiraiya's movements, they immediately understood, nodded silently, and then clapped their hands and said, "Come out." ”

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Almost instantly, the three figures appeared in front of the three generations in a half-kneeling posture, and the three of them were wearing masks, covering their faces, unable to intuitively judge their identities.

The one standing in the middle was dressed in a white robe, and the other two were dressed in a black robe.

It was the Hokage who was directly subordinate to the Shadows.

"You go and stand guard outside the door, and no one is allowed to come in without my orders, and if someone comes in the process, let them wait." Three generations commanded.

"Yes!"

The three ninjas directly under the shadows immediately responded, and then their figures flashed and disappeared.

Such a scene fell into Araki's eyes, which made him have an indescribable feeling in his heart, when facing Orochimaru, he met a ninja who was dressed like the Naruto's direct subordinate to the shadows, but they were all killed by Orochimaru.

How this matter was solved in the future, Araki didn't know, he didn't have that strong curiosity, and he didn't follow up on this kind of thing, after all, doing so can really satisfy the little question mark in his heart, but it is very likely to expose himself, which is very unfavorable to himself.

However, after seeing these people, from the result-oriented inference, I can probably know a result, that is, the few people directly under the Hokage in the shadows, after they did not come back, their positions have been replaced by others.

With the departure of the three shadow ninjas, there was no other existence in the Hokage's office except for the three of them.

"Can you say it now?"

The face of the three generations is extremely serious, even the pipe is in his hand, and he is no longer in the mood to smoke it, from the brief report that he has just made, one thing can be clear, that is, the invaders of Shayin Village have been killed, this is a very serious matter, once it is not handled well, it may cause a war between villages.

"Here's the thing......"

Zilai also said the things he deduced in his brain in the form of statements, but he said the kind of things based on facts, not the subsequent conspiracies and inferences, which is also a kind of common sense in the report.

Jiraiya used concise language, and immediately attacked them after arriving at the station, until Kushina was captured, and then when he woke up, he found the corpses of Kushina and the ninja of Sand Hidden Village in the pit, and finally combined with his speculation about the matter of Kushina's tailed beast, he made a complete statement, and as for the topic of inner ghosts, he didn't talk about it at all.

"You're saying that the goal of the Sand Hidden Village is Kushina?"

The three generations frowned tightly, he stared at Jiraiya when he spoke, and he asked Jiraiya, and when he said the end, his eyes shifted to Kushina's body, and he didn't know what to think in his heart.

"Yes." Jiraiya nodded and added, "After we were drugged, we were all in a state of being unable to resist, but we were not harmed in any way, and the ninjas of Sand Hidden Village only kidnapped Kushina. ”

"Do you suspect it has something to do with the Nine-Tails Pillar Force?" The three generations were silent for a moment and said.

"Yes." Jiraiya nodded again.

"It stands to reason that this is impossible!" The third generation pinched his chin with his right hand, his brows furrowed even tighter, and said: "Kushina's identity is strictly confidential, and the Sand Hidden Village shouldn't know about it, could it be that someone spread the news?" ”

The address was modified for various reasons
