Konoha's Destiny Twins

"Shimizu didn't smile." Mikoto seemed a little regretful.

This...you didn't talk about eggplant either.

And facing the two brothers at the same time, Qingshui really didn't know how to laugh.

"Qingshui's face doesn't seem to look good." Fugaku apparently noticed something strange about Qingshui.

But in fact, it is not abnormal. After all, I just rushed back to Konoha in a dusty way. As a result, I had a lot of things to do and I didn't sleep all night. This will not make anyone feel good.

Just when Qingshui wanted to chat with Fugaku, a familiar chakra appeared in his perception.

It's Kakashi.

It looks like Minato is back.

This was the agreement he had made with Kakashi before. If Minato came back, he would immediately ask the boy to come to the Uchiha station to find him.

"I have to go first."

"Oh? Why don't you go and sit down?" Fugaku enthusiastically invited.

"If it's an emergency, we'll have to wait until next time."

"Really..." Fugaku shook his head with regret, "That's the only way it can be."

After saying goodbye to Fugaku and his wife, Itachi and Sasuke, Shimizu quickly moved closer to Kakashi.

As expected, it was Minato who had returned from Mt. Myoboku, so as soon as Kakashi learned the news, he rushed to inform Shimizu.

"Thank you, Kakashi."

"You're welcome, April-senpai." Kakashi left after completing this small task.

And when Shimizu and Minato met again after a few months, both sides looked a little surprised.

"Hey, Minato, you look a little haggard."

"You too, you don't look energetic."

"I just didn't sleep much and was a little tired."

"I haven't slept all day either, I'm tired."

Such a coincidence, the two immediately looked at each other and smiled.

"Is Qingshui here?" Kushina was clearing the dining table in the room.

Apparently the couple had just finished breakfast.

"Yes." Minato shouted back.

"Let me tell you, he must be looking for you in an emergency."

Minato soon realized why Qingshui came, so he immediately shouted to Kushina: "I'm going out."

"Then when will you come back?"

However there was no response.

"Watergate?"

"Shimizu?"

When Kushina came to the door, there was not even half a person here.

The two men slipped away faster than the other.

"There must be something hidden from me!" Kushina puffed her cheeks and could only close the door helplessly.

The two people who escaped soon arrived at the Forest of Death. Qingshui immediately asked straight to the point: "How is Jiraiya-senpai?"

"The situation is not good." Minato then started to form seals, "I'd better take you there."

After a period of dizziness, Qingshui was brought to Miaomu Mountain, one of the three holy places, by Minato.

And the moment they appeared, all the toads, big and small, immediately looked over, as if they were looking at some "precious animal".

"It turns out to be Minato. Didn't you just leave? Why are you back so soon?" The one who spoke was Fukasaku, one of the top executives of Mt. Myouki and the right confidant of the Great Toad Sage.

"Well, bring Qing Shui over and have a look."

"Shimizu?" Fukasaku was stunned, and then quickly realized the identity of the other party. Although it was only the first time they met, he had heard the name "April Shimizu" many times. After all, this was the child of destiny that Jiraiya recognized. .

"Yes, it's our first time meeting you, Fukasaku-senpai!" Qingshui bowed and said hello.

"Is Minato back so soon?" Shima, who was not far away, shouted loudly, holding up a rice spoon, "You haven't even had breakfast yet, come over quickly."

"Ah, I've already eaten." Minato had indeed eaten Kushina's loving breakfast.

However, Qing Shui beside him suddenly let out a "Gulu~" sound. He was indeed hungry after a hard night's work.

"Then let's go together." Fukasaku said enthusiastically, "It just so happens that my child likes cooking, so I can try her craftsmanship."

"Thank you then!"

However, when the so-called feast entered his mouth, Qing Shui's expression suddenly changed...

The smell reminded him of Kushina's dark cuisine.

No wonder Minato turned his head away just now, as if he didn't want to get involved. This was obviously because he had been poisoned by the other party before.

"Why didn't Qingshui eat it?" Zhijian asked doubtfully.

"Ah, actually I'm not very hungry..." Qingshui quickly changed the subject, "By the way, how is Jiraiya-senpai doing now?"

"What else can I do?" Fukasaku wiped his mouth and said bluntly, "I'm going to die."

Qing Shui immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand, and he said with some confusion: "Didn't you say that Jiraiya-senpai is now petrified?"

"Isn't that just dead?" Fukasaku said matter-of-factly, but soon he understood what Shimizu meant and continued, "Oh, you mean to release the petrified state, right?"

Qing Shui nodded.

"For thousands of years, no one has lifted the petrified state of Miaomu Mountain." Fukasaku pointed to the toad statues on both sides of the road in the distance and said, "You must have seen those stone statues when you first came here."

"They were once living human beings."

"Is there no possibility?" Qing Shui asked unwillingly.

"If I must say it, of course there is a method." Fukasaku held his chin and said slowly, "Theoretically, as long as a large amount of life energy is injected into the stone statue instantly to neutralize the natural energy."

Fortunately among the misfortunes, Jiraiya was petrified in human form, so once the petrification state is lifted, he can continue to exist in this world in human form.

"The crux of the question is, where can we get so much life energy? You must know that the only tailed beasts and humans of the Uzumaki clan who meet this condition are known to meet this condition." Fukasaku looked directly into Shimizu's eyes, and then continued to ask, "Even if we find They have been saved, but who is willing to sacrifice his own life to save little Jiraiya?"

The tailed beast is willing to sacrifice himself to save Jiraiya?

This plan went straight through.

Then the only possibility is the Uzumaki clan...

It is really possible to find a member of the Uzumaki clan who is willing to sacrifice his life. After all, Qingshui was once the beneficiary of such an adventure.

But that meeting with Qingshui was due to a series of fateful encounters with the other party that led to the final seal at the cost of life. Now Jiraiya is petrified in Miaomu Mountain, who should he meet by chance?

What's even more difficult is that the Uzumaki clan and even the entire country of Uzumaki have been destroyed in the war.

Their clansmen fled to death. No one knows, and it is impossible to know, how many members of the Uzumaki clan are still alive in this world.

Even in the vast Konoha, there is only one descendant of the Uzumaki clan left, Kushina.

It's impossible to draw attention to Kushina...

After thinking about it this way, it seems that everything is exactly what Fukasaku said - Jiraiya is dead.
