Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

Kabuto Yakushi didn't know that he was thinking about the two heavyweights Orochimaru and Rei Kaguya at the same time. The only question he was concerned about now was whether he still had a chance to return to Konoha.

He indeed accepted Danzo Shimura's order and lurked to Kirigakure Village as a Nebe spy to collect intelligence. But the problem was that when he finally relied on the spies that Nebe had previously installed in Kirigakure Village, he forged a false identity for himself. A reasonable identity, after enrolling in the ninja school as a war orphan——

Shimura Danzo himself, together with a large number of elites from his roots, besieged the current fourth-generation Mizukage Kaguya Rei with dozens of people without defeating anyone. Unfortunately, the entire army was wiped out during the execution of the mission.

This time, the root group, which had always only followed Shimura Danzo's orders, was suddenly in chaos.

Even if the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen took over the root in time, he could not completely calm down the internal chaos of the root. It is precisely because of this that Yakushi Kabuto received a message from the superior who was lurking with him. After the order to continue lurking, contact with the roots and Konoha was completely severed.

Cutting off contact with Konoha is actually not a big problem. After all, when accepting this mission, Yakushi Kabuto was already mentally prepared that this would be a long-term mission...

But what Kabuto Yakushi couldn't understand was why even though Konoha had signed an armistice agreement with Kirigakure and the war was temporarily over, no one from Konoha came to contact him to announce the end of his mission. , or tell yourself what intelligence you want to collect next.

It's like Konoha has forgotten that it planted a spy like Kabuto Yakushi in Kirigakure Village.

At the same time, the ninjutsu talents that he showed off in order to successfully enroll in Kirigakure's ninja school as a war orphan began to cause some minor troubles for Kabuto.

"Hey, Kabuto, have you memorized all the knowledge about medical ninjutsu that the teacher taught you just now?"

"Ah? Well, I've basically written it down... What, is there anything you don't understand, Cang Yue, Lan Yue?"

"Hey, you saw it~"

A pair of twin sisters from the Ghost Lantern clan naturally and closely attached themselves to Yakushi Kabuto. With undisguised admiration and affection in their eyes, they enthusiastically held his hand and asked:

"Can you help us with the knowledge of medical ninjutsu after school? After all, Kabuto is so good. According to the newly released rules of the Yondaime, it won't be long before he can graduate from school as a medical ninjutsu. At that time, we will have no one to ask for advice..."

Kabuto Yakushi's heart was in confusion when he saw the twin beautiful girls with blue and white hair in front of him, who had cute faces and sincere expressions, and who seriously wanted to have a good relationship with him.

Kabuto Yakushi was indeed a spy sent by the Roots, but he was not wiped out of all emotions and humanity by the Roots. When faced with this kind of straightforward and simple kindness from the opposite sex, this man who had just celebrated his eighth birthday soon Orphans, how could they not take them seriously?

"...If you two listen to the class well, you don't actually need me to supplement you at all, right?" Kabuto Yakushi pushed the glasses given to him by Yakushi Kabuto, trying to get the two of them to give up on the trouble that continued to pester him. idea.

"But compared to the teacher, Kabuto's words are easier to understand...Originally, we could have asked that guy Mangetsu for advice, but since that guy carried out a mission personally assigned by the Yondaime, he started to I went to study more advanced hydration healing techniques, and I didn’t see a single person the whole day..."

Gui Deng Cang Yue and Gui Deng Lan Yue looked at each other and gave this answer in unison, with uneven voices.

"Oh... ok, ok, let me eat you to death, okay?" Kabuto Yakushi sighed, and nodded as if accepting his fate, accepting the request from the sisters Gui Deng Cang Yue and Gui Deng Lan Yue.

"Yeah~ Then your dinner today will be taken care of by us, Kabuto~"

The two Ghost Light sisters raised their hands in perfect agreement, and cheerfully high-fived Yakushi Kabuto, who looked helpless. Then they jumped back to their seats and began to whisper, while Yakushi Kabuto turned his head. Looking out the window at the Kirigakure Village that had become much livelier due to the many new policies issued by Kaguya Rei, he silently missed the orphanage that took him in.

Director, I'm doing pretty well here. I wonder if you have received any funds that can support the continued operation of the orphanage... Although it is said that the thing was done by Danzo Shimura, the Third Hokage has taken over the root. If so, you can't say that you are unwilling to keep even this promise, right?

…

"Miko-sama, leave me alone. I can't do it anymore. I can't keep up with you anymore..."

On the bank of the quiet river, a man dressed as a warrior fell weakly to the ground. The armor on his body was badly damaged, and the bandages used to cover the wounds were soaked with scarlet blood. Looking at the man Her daughter Shion, who was as angry as a gossamer and held in the arms of the contemporary miko Maitreya, sobbed and buried her face in her mother's arms, crying and asking:

"Mom, can't you save him?"

"Sorry, Ziyuan..."

Maitreya shook his head and looked far away in the direction where he and others came from. Even though the sky was gradually darkening at this time, the soaring fire and billowing smoke in the distance clearly reminded the miko and those around him. Attendants, the capital of the Kingdom of Demons has been captured by the ghost army of demons.

"hateful!"

A samurai who was guarding the witch and her daughter as they fled punched the tree next to them with all their strength and said with a face full of reluctance:

"If not, if those ninjas who were bewitched by the monsters didn't join the battlefield, we would definitely be able to hold on for a while. If we hold on for a while longer, maybe we can wait until Konoha, Sunagakure or Iwagakure Ninjas are coming to support.”

"Probably, something happened to the carrier pigeons we sent out." Maitreya shook his head and sighed solemnly, "Although we have sent at least five carrier pigeons to each village, they have not yet received the commission. It also takes time to select candidates to carry out the mission and then rush to the Kingdom of Ghosts to provide support..."

"Then what should we do now, Miko-sama?" A middle-aged samurai tightened the bandage on his arm and asked in a deep voice, "Although we have temporarily escaped the siege of the sprite and his minions, with his Judging from your strange persistence, it is impossible for the monsters to let us go..."

"Let's divide the troops into two groups."

Maitreya didn't think too much and made such a decision with a resolute expression.

"Just running away in embarrassment and waiting for reinforcements would be a bit too passive. Since we can't be sure whether there will be ninjas who have received our request for help, we can only find a way to deal with the demon and his ghost army on our own. ”

"Kurokawa, Asano, Higashihara, Ashho, you guys take Shion and find a way to meet up with the ninjas who came to support. I have given Shion the bell as the miko's certificate. If our side fails in the end If so, she will be the next miko of the Kingdom of Ghosts and the only hope to defeat the monsters."

"The rest of you... I'm sorry, you may need to risk your lives to accompany me to the Swamp Kingdom to find a way to give the monster a final blow."

"Mom!? No, I don't want to be separated from my mother..."

When the little girl with long white hair heard that her mother was leaving her to face danger alone, her already unstable emotions suddenly became more intense. She gripped her mother's collar hard, not wanting to be separated from her mother. , but Maitreya picked her up from his arms with gentleness and undeniable strength, then looked into her eyes and said:

"Shion, this is something that my mother has to face as a revered miko of the Demon Country. I can't watch the people who believe that I can protect this country suffer from the ravages of monsters, while I hide aside in fear of death. , tremblingly praying that someone else can solve this crisis that may destroy the Kingdom of Ghosts."

"Leave with Ashho and the others. If mom fails, you will be the only hope for the Demon Country and even the entire ninja world."

"Mother……"

The little Shion choked and shed tears. Reluctantly, but at least without a struggle, she allowed Ashuhiro, the youngest of the guards, to take her from her mother's hands. Then she turned her head reluctantly and faced Maybe At this time, the mother who was separated from yin and yang shouted loudly:

"You must, you must come back, mom..."

"Ziyuan..."

Maitreya clenched his teeth, trying hard not to let the determined expression he had managed to put on collapse due to her daughter's tears, and just as she slowly turned her head, wiping herself from biting down too hard. The blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and while he was preparing to embark on a journey of no return with the few remaining guards around him, a burst of water suddenly burst into the sky in the calm river beside him.

"Protect the miko-sama!"

Several battle-experienced guards quickly formed a formation to protect Maitreya behind them. Then, they saw two figures in black red cloud robes duck out of the water column and fall into the distance easily. They were on the river bank not far away.

"Who are you!?"

Seeing the two young ninjas in front of them who were dressed strangely and did not look like they were from any well-known ninja village, but who also showed the ability to escape from water, the miko's guards swallowed nervously and clenched their hands, which were damaged by the battle. The worn blade asked sharply.

Uchiha Shisui tilted his head, not wanting to answer this question that would only make him feel embarrassed at this moment. Inikigaki Kisame pushed the Kirigakure forehead guard that did not have a horizontal line on his forehead, and shook off his own Ninja. With blood on the knife, he grinned and gave an answer that was beyond the expectations of everyone present.

"Us? We are here under the orders of the Fourth Mizukage to accept the entrustment of the Miko of the Demon Country to help you defeat the madman, the Kirigakure ninja, who is trying to start another war."

Behind the two of them, the towering water column suddenly fell on the river. A large amount of blood quickly spread on the river, and the bodies of three ninjas who were quite familiar to the miko's guards, It also floated to the surface of the water.
