Konoha's Destiny Twins

"Thank you very much Jiraiya-senpai for your generous treat."

"It's a small matter~" Jiraiya waved his hand grandly, indicating that the other party should not take it seriously.

Qing Shui smiled and waved his hand and said, "Senior, I'm taking a step ahead, and I have to practice hard."

"Okay, okay, we'll contact you then."

Qing Shui left the meal satisfied, and after Jiraiya was sure that Qing Shui was gone...

He opened his wallet at lightning speed: the wallet that was originally bulging was now empty.

Really gone? !

Jiraiya shook his wallet several times with all his strength, only to hear a "ding" sound.

There's only one coin left...

"Ah?!" He grabbed his hair and looked distressed, "I just got the royalties..."

Yes, not long after I put it in my pocket, I didn’t even bother to keep it warm, and the money just flew away.

Then he immediately took out a small notebook and murmured to himself while writing: "Write it down quickly... You will never invite April Qingshui to dinner in the future."

"Never make the same mistake twice!"

Although Jiraiya has a strong sense of self-reflection, Qingshui may not necessarily let him get his wish...

In Qing Shui's eyes, cheating a rich man like Jiraiya for a few meals was nothing.

And Jiraiya, who has such a free and easy temperament, must not care about anything.

Um! So feel free to go pit yourself with confidence!

Speaking of which, the seafood tastes really good...

Late at night, Danzo's roots arrived as promised.

It's that miko again.

"April Qingshui, Danzo-sama invites you..."

"No." Qingguo flatly refused.

Now Jiraiya is back, and he has stated that he will take him to the country of Taki to investigate information about Madara...

At this juncture, running to Gen's base camp in the middle of the night to talk about feelings with Danzo?

Does it fit?

What should I do if I'm discovered?

And after the conversation with Jiraiya, Qingshui had an obvious feeling: Unlike the enthusiasm of the Sandaime Hokage, it seemed that Jiraiya was also observing him for something, or that he had been observing him in the dark?

When I thought of this, I broke out in cold sweat.

He really took it for granted during the day... He felt that as long as he did it covertly enough, no one in the village would find out about his contact with Danzo.

But you have to know that Jiraiya's ability to obtain information is very strong. If the other party really wants to pay attention to him, there must be a hidden secret for him in the village...

His perception can indeed detect living creatures with chakra, but what about ordinary people?

Who knows how many hidden connections there are to Jiraiya in the village?

It's too sensitive to go to Danzo's lair at a time like this.

If he was found to be involved in something, wouldn't it destroy his character?

"But you clearly agreed before..."

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm not going." Qingshui's stance was very firm, "Why don't you just tell me, what's wrong with Danzo?"

"But Danzo-sama said that this matter must be discussed with you personally..."

"You can't understand human language?" Qing Shui's voice suddenly turned cold.

Finally, the miko gritted her teeth and said: "...Danzo-sama has a secret mission that needs to be completed, and he thinks you are a suitable candidate."

"Be more specific?"

"The mission location is in the country of Taki..."

Qing Shui's heart skipped a beat. Is it related to Madara?

impossible!

The Sandaime Hokage would never tell Danzo and the others about Madara.

"...To capture Nanao."

Tailed beast? !

Konoha has actually set its sights on the tailed beasts in other villages!

"How is this kind of mission different from sending someone to death? How dare Danzo find me?" Qingshui said coldly, "You want to buy my life for just a sealed book?"

"No...Danzo-sama, he..."

"Go away." Qing Shui's hand slowly touched the hilt of the sword.

"...Okay." The witch subconsciously took a step back, then took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll say goodbye."

Danzo really thinks how much he wants this sealed book? !

Are you kidding, want to trade this for a tailed beast? !

Go ahead and dream!

After thoroughly expressing his attitude,

After rejecting Danzo's request, Gen never came to Shimizu again.

So in the next few days, he returned to the monotonous days of cultivating before.

Although there is no war for the time being, Konoha's ninjas still have a large number of missions to complete.

Therefore, during this period, although other friends and some descendants in the village gradually learned that Qingshui had fully recovered and been discharged from the hospital, they did not visit him at home, but chose to send greetings through letters.

But this last peace is coming to an end.

"Senior April, Hokage-sama has something important to ask of you!"

"Got it. Coming right away."

After performing the Dance of the Three Suns and Moons for the last time at Training Ground 43, Shimizu immediately went to the Hokage Building.

He has basically mastered this swordsmanship now, and there is no problem in using it in actual combat.

The next combination of wind escape and swordsmanship will be studied after returning.

Qingshui rushed to the Hokage's office as quickly as possible. As soon as he entered the door, he found that several senior Hokage officials and Jiraiya were there: "Hokage-sama! Seniors!"

"The clear water came very quickly." The Sandaime Hokage said happily.

"Then I will briefly explain the mission."

"Iwagakure has been silent for a long time...but the intelligence reported back from the front this time shows that they have begun to take action again recently."

"In order to avoid an extremely passive situation like last time against Sunagakure, we plan to take the initiative this time."

"We need to send the best intelligence ninjas to sneak into Iwagakure Village to steal their detailed military layout and strategic plans."

The Sandaime Hokage stared at Danzo: "So this task is left to Danzo to complete."

"Okay." Danzo agreed decisively.

"In addition, ANBU has monitored signs that Kumogakure and Iwagakure are dispatching troops to gather at the border of Takino Country..."

"The Ninja Village hidden deep in the waterfall, the only one they can plot is Nanao!"

The Sandaime Hokage said loudly: "Jiraiya, April Qingshui!"

"Yes!" they both replied at the same time.

"You two sneaked into Takigakure Village and investigated the true intentions of Kumogakure and Iwagakure. If something unfortunate happens...their target is really Nanao."

The Sandaime Hokage said solemnly: "We must not let the Nanao fall into their hands!"

Shimizu raised an eyebrow, Danzo wanted to capture the Nanao, while the Sandaime Hokage wanted to prevent the Nanao from falling into the hands of the enemy.

This guy Danzo... really strives for credit all the time...

For the position of Hokage!

But why do they think Nanao will definitely be succeeded by Iwagakure and Kumogakure? !

That's a tailed beast!

Is it a being that can be conquered so easily?

"Although Nanao is the weakest tailed beast, you two should not be careless."

Nanao is the weakest? !

No wonder Danzo wants to capture the other party...

"Then the mission this time is decided."

"Jiraiya, Qingshui, you leave immediately!"
