Konoha's Destiny Twins

Without chakra, there is no way to sense the opponent's specific location.

But Qing Shui was convinced that the other party was now hiding in this spacious ward.

The person assigned to Qingshui was codenamed "Tianqin" and was an elite ANBU member of the First ANBU Brigade. He was also an undercover sentry responsible for Qingshui's safety.

The First ANBU Brigade...

Even Shimizu knows very little about this mysterious ANBU team, because the specific depiction of ANBU in the original work is actually very rare.

What he could confirm was that ordinary ANBU members still had the possibility of quitting, and every member of this force had spent their lives as nameless ninjas walking in the shadows.

Because if you want to become one of the thirty-six people in this army, you must give up ordinary life.

They will wear that mask their entire lives, and their ANBU codename is their only name.

They are dead men, people who never "existed."

Qingshui suddenly remembered an unsolved mystery in the original novel: the true identity of Konohamaru's father, Asuma's brother and the eldest son of Konoha, is still unknown.

Apart from knowing that the other party was the ANBU directly under the Sandaime Hokage, the rest of the information was unknown.

"Can you people in the first brigade have children?"

The room was quiet, as if Qing Shui was talking to himself.

"Do you know your biological parents?"

It was a chilling silence.

"Tell me, will Hokage-sama send his child to the first ANBU team?"

For a moment the air seemed still.

"How is that possible? A person as amiable as Hokage-sama."

Qing Shui still didn't reply when he saw the other party, and the eternal mystery could only continue to remain unsolved.

So he changed the subject.

"Hokage-sama will assign you to take charge of my safety. You must have noticed something, right?"

Yet there was still wordless silence.

Why are the people in the first team so bored?

"Duanzo's roots must have suffered serious losses in the past few years. I think he should have started looking for fresh blood long ago."

"I'm actually quite curious as to why Hokage-sama tolerates the existence of an organization like Gen."

"If it's just to wipe my butt, aren't you guys enough?"

"Or is it because of the past friendship? But this doesn't seem to make sense..."

Qing Shui suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

"Aren't you afraid that one day, Gen will turn around and become the master of Konoha, and then Danzo will become the Hokage?"

"What do you think, Tianqin?"

After another long silence, a man's voice came from the air: "Roots are just roots, they will always be buried underground, and darkness can never stand in the light."

However, this voice makes it impossible to determine the specific age of the other party.

"You are very young." Qingshui confirmed, "So your judgment is wrong."

You must know that Danzo really became Hokage in the original work, although it was only for a short period of time.

Tian Qin did not refute Qing Shui's judgment and fell into a long silence again.

"That's right, you are always in the dark, and the perspective from which you look at problems can only start from your world."

Tian Qin still didn't respond.

"Oh, then let's go to trouble again." Qing Shui said feeling helpless, "Anyway, Danzo is planning to deal with me... Why don't I learn from Orochimaru and strike first before the other party takes action."

"Lord Hokage will not allow it." Tian Qin replied.

"You are wrong." Qing Shui said confidently, "I just didn't know it beforehand..."

Because the first thing a Hokage needs to consider is stability.

The conflict between Qingshui and Gen will definitely affect Danzo in Konoha, which is not what a Hokage wants to see.

But if the result is determined... no matter who wins or loses, it will be a blessing for the Hokage who seeks stability.

White Fang is dead, but Konoha is still running well; Uchiha is exterminated, but the villagers are still living happily.

"The root is also a sharp sword that belongs to Konoha in the darkness."

"If the light is really strong enough, there will be no shadow anywhere."

This time both sides fell into a long silence.

After a long while, Qingshui suddenly said: "I was just bored and panicked, and I just talked nonsense. You shouldn't take it seriously and expose me to the Hokage, right?"

"April Qingshui, I know you."

Obviously, when the other party said he knew, he didn't just mean knowing the name on the surface.

"The Sandaime Hokage once asked me what I thought about you."

"Unfortunately, I did not agree with your plan to attack Sunagakure Village from a long distance."

"If it weren't for the persistence of the Sandaime Hokage, I don't think your great victory would have been possible."

"Hokage-sama thinks highly of you, I just hope you don't let him down."

"Ha..." Of course Qingshui will not challenge the bottom line of the Sandaime Hokage's patience with him. Not only that, but now he will try his best to maintain this relationship.

Although politicians are ruthless, compared to Shimura Danzo, who has no relatives and has already formed a relationship, the Third Hokage is undoubtedly much more amiable.

That's trust gained bit by bit, with countless blood and tears...

…

Outside Yuyin Village.

Behind Minato were hundreds of Konoha Anbu, while Orochimaru stood not far in front, personally investigating the enemy's situation.

Suddenly, Orochimaru raised his arm, signaling Minato to lead his team to retreat.

Minato did not doubt Orochimaru's judgment and immediately led the large troops to evacuate in an orderly manner.

It wasn't until he was completely far away from the Hidden Rain Village that Orochimaru said, "This is almost enough."

"Senior Orochimaru, is there anything unusual?"

"It's obviously just a one-sided battle. There is no need for Hanzo to ask for help from Konoha."

It turned out that although many days had passed since the battle between Amegakure and Akatsuki led by Hanzo, and the rain had washed away a lot of traces, the other party's unprofessional battlefield cleaning work still allowed Orochimaru to see some clues.

At least, the battle that took place in this loess wasteland was a one-sided massacre.

But who it is is unknown.

"Hanzo has destroyed Akatsuki?" This was Minato's subconscious reaction.

In fact, in terms of personal emotions, Orochimaru is more inclined to this possibility. After all, Hanzo was too powerful back then.

He really couldn't imagine Hanzo losing.

"If Hanzo comes to Konoha for help even though he has already won, then we may be prey."

How could any mission publisher conceal the truth like this?

Who would believe this if the other party has no evil intentions towards Konoha?

So it's not surprising that Orochimaru is cautious.

However, Minato's mind was also very active, and he had already thought of another possibility: "What if Akatsuki wins, and then uses Hanzo's name to attract Konoha reinforcements?"
