When the black-robed cloud ninja disappeared, everyone felt inexplicably relaxed.

Out of caution, Retsuyama and the others still cleared the surrounding trees, and then formed a formation to protect Minato and Kushina.

About an hour later, Ding Zuo and Tangtong also arrived.

After briefly recounting their respective experiences, Shikaku suggested that they be on guard in batches and return to the village after dawn.

Two days later, everyone saw the Konoha gate again and finally felt relieved.

"Thank you all, without you, I would have been tied to Kumogakure now." Although she returned to Konoha, Kushina was still frightened and completely lost her previous liveliness.

"We are all friends, and we should do what we should do." Several people were very humble.

Dingzuo and Tangtong did not dare to take credit, saying: "We didn't help at all."

Lieshan said: "There is no need to say any more words of thanks. Let's take Minato to Konoha Hospital first. Although Minato has regained his ability to move, there is no way of knowing whether there are any internal injuries. Let's go and check. Ninja methods are weird and unpredictable. Don’t fall for the other side’s tricks.”

Kushina thought it made sense, nodded in agreement, and said: "Then everyone goes to the hospital first, and I will treat everyone to dinner in a few days."

"Okay, I'll be there when the time comes."

"Let's go to the hospital"

In the Hokage's office, the third generation and the group of elders are watching Hatake Sakumo's mission report.

The third generation quickly browsed the mission report and asked: "Why did Kumogakure kidnap Kushina? Is it for the blood of the Uzumaki clan or the sealing technique?"

"It's not that they don't know Kushina's identity," Hatake Shoshige replied, "The reason why they kidnapped Kushina was that they discovered an abnormality in Kushina's chakra. It should be that the sealed Nine-Tails chakra broke out."

Mito Kadenen said seriously: "So, Kumogakure thinks Kushina is a Jinchuuriki or a potential Jinchuuriki."

"Yes"

"Hiruzen, I told you not to let Kushina Uzumaki move around as she pleases." Shimura Danzo said.

Then Shimura Danzo continued: "Now that Uzumaki Kushina has been exposed and is no longer suitable to be a Jinchuriki, I suggest using the backup candidate, Genma."

The third generation frowned and said: "Forget it about Genma. Although he meets the basic conditions, he is completely incomparable with Kushina."

After turning to bed, Koharu also said: "Danzo, Genma is indeed far behind Kushina. He does not have Uzumaki bloodline."

"Hmph" Shimura Danzo snorted coldly and said: "So what? Kushina has been exposed. If she becomes a jinchuriki, then she was attacked by Kumogakure before she fully grasped the power of the nine tails. The release of the nine tails will have a huge impact on the village. Damage. And when the time comes, we will need to find new Jinchuuriki."

At this time, Akimichi Tifeng, who had been silent, interjected: "There won't be a next time. I will organize the village's defense well and never let Kumogakure sneak into the village."

The third generation comforted Akimichi Tofeng and said: "This is not entirely your responsibility. After all, you and Uchiha are responsible for part of the village's defense. There is always room for balance."

Danzo Shimura did not want to undermine his old friend, and said: "Okay, the safety of the jinchuriki can be guaranteed, but Uzumaki Kushina can no longer go out to perform tasks in broad daylight. I suggest that she be transferred to the root and hide her identity, so It can give full play to its jinchūriki’s role.”

The third generation stared at Danzo for a while and said: "Disband the tenth class, Kushina will be transferred to the sealing class, and the other two will deal with it."

Danzo stood up, put his hands on the table, looked down at the Third Generation and said: "Hiruzen, the jinchūriki is the ultimate weapon, and you just leave it unused."

The third generation was unmoved and said: "Jinchuriki is not a weapon, and Konoha does not lack this combat power."

Today's Konoha does have the confidence to say this. The Third Generation, Danzo and others are still at their peak. White Fang has shown his sharpness. The name of the three ninjas is passed down to the ninja world. Konoha, which has so many shadow-level experts, does not need it at all. The Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki takes action.

Danzo was speechless for a moment.

The third generation waved his hand and said: "Let's leave the discussion about Jinchuuriki as it is. Let's adjourn. Sakumo, please stay for a while."

"it is good"

Akimichi Tifeng nodded and walked out of the Hokage's office first.

Mito Kabuto and Koharu, who had transferred to the dormitory, followed closely behind.

Shimura Danzo glanced at his burly old friend and the young Hatake Sakumo, feeling inexplicably, and slowly walked out of the Hokage's office.

Konoha is full of talented people. The older generation has not yet disappeared, but the new generation has already stood at the center of the stage.

After Danzo walked out of the office, Sandai became gentle and said to Hatake Sakumo: "Come for a walk with me and chat."

Hatake Sakumo nodded and followed Sandai.

The two of them walked to the rooftop of the Hokage's office building.

The third generation held the armrest and asked Sakumo: "In your mission report, Minato Namibumi killed a special jounin alone."

Hatake Sakumo sat down according to the Sandaime's words and answered sternly: "I didn't see the specific situation. When I arrived, Kumogakure's Jonin met Akimichi Retsuzan and the others. After Kumogakure's Jonin retreated, I followed In the past, it was discovered that a Kumo ninja of the opponent was dead, and based on the situation at the scene, it was inferred that the opponent's strength was at the special Jonin level."

"Haha" Hearing this, the third generation laughed happily and said: "When I was in the Ninja School, I noticed that Namikaze Minato had great ninja talents, but I really didn't expect that he would grow up so quickly."

The third generation continued to ask: "Have you seen the battle between Akido Retsuzan and others and Kumogakure Jōnin, what do you think of them?"

Hatake Sakumo pondered for a while and said: "Inuzuka Jichi and Yamanaka Kai's family's secret arts are good, Nara Shikaku has a good overall view and on-the-spot command, and Aburame Shiwei has comprehensive strength. As for Akimichi Retsuzan, first of all, the defense strength Very good, he can resist the frontal attack of B-level ninjutsu."

"Secondly, Akido Retsuzan cares about his companions." After saying this, Hatake Sakumo showed approval on his face.

The third generation also smiled and said: "Yes, when encountering danger, the first time is not to escape, but to push his teammates away. Lieshan really values ​​his companions very much."

It is late autumn now, and a strong wind has passed by, making the leaves that do not want to return to dust dance again.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the third generation couldn't help but recall the teachings of the second generation, and couldn't help but say: "Wherever the leaves are flying, the fire will also grow endlessly. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout."

"Konoha can become the number one ninja village and continue to win in the ninja world war. This is because the ancestors sacrificed heroically to protect the young fire. Now Minato and Retsuzan are just seedlings, but one day , they can become towering trees. What we need to do is to protect them from the wind and rain before they grow into pillars."

"Yes" Hatake Sakumo nodded.

"Haha" Sandai laughed and said, "Sakumo, you are really bad at words."

"By the way," Sandai seemed to have thought of something and said casually, "I just have something I need you to do, and it just so happens that you can practice your speaking skills."

Hatake Sakumo said seriously: "I promise to complete the mission."

The third generation said: "Well, you can go and become the Jonin squad leader and relieve me of the burden."

Hatake Sakumo was stunned for a while, and then said: "Okay"
