Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

With the implementation of the Extension Plan, Konoha's injured and cruel people have a new life, and the queue for installing prosthetic limbs has lasted for half a year!

As the person in charge of the early research, Anma Feiyun is in the role of supervisor at this stage. Only in some extremely special cases will she be asked to handle them personally!

Maybe it's because of his age, maybe it's because of his maturity after marriage, or maybe it's because of his improved abilities, but Kurama Feiyun now looks quite dignified as a vice-president. His reputation in Konoha Hospital is second only to Tsunade!

As the man behind the vice-president, Dihuangwan is not idle either. He goes to the Konoha Spirit Gathering Array to practice every day, as well as to study barrier techniques and sealing techniques!

There are still four months before Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki graduate from the Ninja Academy, so he will still have some free time. Once the two little guys graduate, he will focus on raising them!

However, what Dihuangmaru didn't know was that after the meeting with Shimura Danzo and others, Sarutobi Hiruzen had wavered in his idea of ​​letting Dihuangmaru lead the team, especially Uzumaki Kushina!

On this day, Sarutobi Hiruzen received a letter from the Hidden Mist Village!

It was sent by the Third Mizukage himself. The content of the letter was that he hoped Konoha could treat Sora Mizunoe's soul injury. At the same time, he hoped Konoha could return the long sword Stitch and the Explosive Sword Feimo. Kirigakure was willing to pay the corresponding price!

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hatake Sakumo were discussing the letter sent from Kirigakure.

"Hokage, Sora Mizunotsuki is the great elder of the Mizunotsuki clan in Kirigakure. He is an elite jonin and is only a step away from becoming a Kage! His injuries were caused by Rehmannia pill. I can't believe he is still alive!" said Hatake Sakumo.

"Judging from the letter, even if he is still alive, he will probably die soon! Otherwise, the Third Mizukage would not have written to him personally, offering to pay for treatment!" said the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The injury on the soul of this Mizunotsuki Sora, I'm afraid only Tsunade and Dihuangwan, the caster, have the ability to heal! And these two are both in my Konoha!" Hatake Sakumo said, "Hokage-sama, what do you think?"

"Dihuangwan's ice escape is special. I've seen it before when I was sparring with him. He can indeed heal. As for Tsunade, it will take some time to do so!" Sarutobi Hiruzen took two puffs of his pipe. "This is the first time that Kirigakure has sent out a signal after the official end of World War II, hoping to ease the atmosphere. Judging from the purpose, there is nothing fishy about it."

"Yes, Kirigakure suffered heavy losses in the Second World War. A quasi-Kage-level warrior is indeed very important. Moreover, the Long Sword Stitch and Explosive Sword Feimo are Kirigakure's signature ninja swords. It is understandable that they want to take them back!" said Hatake Sakumo.

"But the stitches and the foam are Dihuangwan's spoils. Whether to return them depends on his intention!" said Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Call him over. Whether it's treating the wound or returning the ninja sword, it all depends on him!" said Hatake Sakumo.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, and soon, an Anbu went to look for Dihuangmaru.

But at this time, Dihuangwan was not in his own house, but was practicing in the Konoha Spirit Gathering Array, so Dihuangwan did not get the news until the evening!

In the Hokage's office, Di Huang Wan came late, "Hokage-sama, I'm sorry, I went outside to practice with the Flying Thunder God Technique, and just got the news!"

"It's okay. Come here. This is a letter from the Hidden Mist Village. Take a look!" said Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After reading the letter, Di Huang Wan said, "I didn't expect that this Mizunoe Sora is still alive. Since Kirigakure is willing to pay the price, then leave the treatment to me! But..."

"Dihuangwan, is there any difficulty?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

"There are two ninja swords. The one I have now is the Bakuto Feimo, and the long sword Suture, which I have given to sister Tsunade to use in special operations in Konoha Hospital! I can decide to return Feimo to Kirigakure, but I have to ask sister Tsunade's opinion about Suture!" Dihuangwan said.

"So that's how it is. I will go and talk to Tsunade. I will compensate you accordingly for the treatment and the return of the ninja sword!" said Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Dihuangwan nodded, then said, "Will Kirigakure send someone to Konoha this time, or should I go to Kirigakure myself?"

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet. What do you think about Dihuang Wan?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"I think, since it is Kirigakure that is asking for help, then we have to let them do the running errands, and we in Konoha just have to wait!" Dihuangwan said.

He, Kirigakure, needs help from others. Does he want me to rush to Kirigakure to run errands?

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, "In that case, it's settled. I will negotiate with the Hidden Mist Village!"

Dihuangwan nodded, bowed and left the Hokage's office.

After leaving the Hokage building, Dihuangwan thought about the content of the letter from Kirigakure. "The Third Mizukage has been suppressing the Kirigakure ninja clan. I'm afraid he wants Mizunotsuki to die so that he can further weaken the Mizunotsuki clan. Why is he so kind all of a sudden and actually wants to treat him? Is it because Kirigakure was severely injured after the war that they had to stop suppressing the ninja clan and instead try to win them over?"

Dihuangwan knows too much about the situation in Kirigakure! He can be said to be the person who knows Kirigakure best in Konoha. The last time he traveled with Feiyun, Dihuangwan also went to see Mizunoe Sora's situation. Now several months have passed. This time he has come all the way here in a bumpy way. I am afraid he must be on the verge of death!

"Or maybe Kirigakure wants to use Mizunoe Sora to do something? But what good will it do them? I was the one who caused Mizunoe Sora's current situation. Even if he didn't come, his death would still be blamed on me!"

"I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out!" Dihuangwan shook his head and walked into Ichiraku Ramen.

In the Hidden Mist Village, in the office of the Third Mizukage, the Third Mizukage and the head of the Mizunotsuki clan, Mizunotsuki Hyoga, are having a meeting.

"Hyoga, I have sent a letter to Konoha, using the reasons of treating Sora and returning the ninja sword as excuses, hoping to get in touch with the little water god Dihuangwan!" said the Third Mizukage.

"That's great! If we can establish a communication channel with the little water god, we will definitely be able to pull him into my Kirigakure camp!" Mizunotsuki Hyoga said.

"Binghe, are you sure?"

"Lord Mizukage, I have repeatedly read the records left by the Mizunotsuki clan. During the Warring States Period, a branch of the clan did migrate to the eastern coastline of the Land of Fire. I sent my men to confirm that the fishing village where Dihuangmaru's ancestors lived is the same place where the branch of the Mizunotsuki clan migrated to live! Dihuangmaru is the bloodline branch of my Mizunotsuki clan!"

"I'm afraid that because it's been so long, he won't acknowledge Dihuang Wan!" said the Third Mizukage.

“That doesn’t matter. As long as we let him know that he has the blood of our Mizunotsuki clan, even if he refuses to return to Kirigakure, it will leave a mark in his heart. He will have to be cautious when facing Kirigakure in the future!” Mizunotsuki Binghe said.

The Third Mizukage drummed his fingers on the table and closed his eyes in thought. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said, "Hyoga, let's do this!"

Afterwards, Mizunotsuki Hyoga's eyes lit up as he listened to the words of the Third Mizukage!

"Mizukage-sama, that's brilliant! Let's do this!"
