Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

Because it was determined that this attack was related to the rebel ninja organization in Konoha, after returning to Sunagakure Village, Nagato roped in the fourth-generation Kazekage Rasa and the fourth-generation Mizukage Kaguya Rei. Together with Uchiha Shisui, they once again sent an official document to Konoha Village, which detailed the intelligence and information they currently had, and expressed the hope that Konoha Village could send a person with sufficient strength and weight. Ninjas are here to handle this incident.

Originally, they thought that after receiving the document, Konoha would let the subsequent ninja join the investigation team sent earlier, and then, under the witness of the daimyo of the Land of Wind, make a report on the attack launched by the "Root" organization. They exchanged information with them about the killing, but when Konoha's envoy finally appeared, Nagato and Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but feel their hearts sink.

"That's probably what happened."

Jiraiya let out a long sigh and said to Nagato, who was frowning in thought:

"Including me, this is already the third investigation team sent by Konoha to investigate this attack. The first investigation team encountered an enemy attack in the border desert between the Country of Fire and the former Loulan Country. After struggling to spread the information, everyone died, and the second team also lost news soon after leaving the Country of Fire. If your information is correct, they probably also died in the enemy's sneak attack. It’s down.”

"No wonder..." Uchiha Shisui narrowed his eyes, "I felt very strange when exchanging information with Sunagakure. It was obvious that Konoha was attacked earlier than Kirigakure. When collecting intelligence But I haven’t seen Konoha’s investigation team show up…”

"Looking at it this way, perhaps the main goal of the people of 'Gen' in creating this attack was not to retaliate against Kirigakure and the Fourth Mizukage. Konoha is the target they really want to target..."

Nagato quickly ran through every piece of information he knew in his mind, rearranging them in chronological order in the form of fragments, looking for the connection between these events bit by bit, and the information provided by Jiraiya The intelligence brought important supplements to one of the gaps, so that the entire incident was successfully connected together at once.

"If it was to target Konoha, what was their reason for involving Kirigakure's blood successor ninjas?" Uchiha Shisui lightly knocked on the table in front of him, his eyes flashing with thought, "If not It is impossible for Kirigakure to attach as much importance to the disappearance of Minazuki Aoba as it does now."

"The arbitrariness of the Red Sand Scorpion?" the Fourth Kazekage Rasa said with a dark face, "That guy is an arrogant person who even dared to attack and kill the Third Kazekage. After discovering the whereabouts of other blood successor ninjas, In this situation, there is no chance that he will take action on his own..."

"No, although he was the one who did it, Minazuki Aoba's whereabouts were the information passed on to his subordinate Matt by the Zetsu of the Roots. Therefore, the reason why Kirigakure was killed must be the Root organization. A consensus decision has been reached internally.”

Uchiha Zhiguo decisively denied Rasa's inference. At the same time, he looked at Jiraiya, whose eyes had been lingering on Nagato, and asked:

"Jiraiya-dono, what do you think about this matter?"

"Probably, he just wants to destroy the relationship between Kirigakure and Sunagakure."

When Jiraiya's name was called, he spread his hands and said with a slightly helpless tone: "Although I say you are a reasonable ninja, if the people who come to handle this matter are other Mist ninjas, it should be impossible for them. Like now, I sit down and have a good conversation with Sunagakure, who is highly suspected of being behind this, the leader of Akatsuki who intervened in this matter uninvited, and me, a ninja of Konoha."

"As long as they insist on investigating this attack and murder on their own, they will definitely point the finger at Sunagakure under the guidance of those clues. And with Sunagakure's consistent style, it is impossible for them to investigate Kirigakure openly and honestly. If the person communicates well, if this goes back and forth, even if the Fourth Mizukage himself makes the judgment that Sunagakure is not the real murderer, the relationship between Kirigakure and Sunagakure will inevitably deteriorate."

"Coupled with the constant attacks and killings against Konoha ninjas around the Kingdom of Wind, Sunagakure will be at odds with Konoha and Kirigakure at the same time. If they use the ability of the Red Sand Scorpion to exert some influence on Sunagakure, the distance The official outbreak of war is not far away."

The Daimyo of the Country of Wind, who was sitting aside as a witness, listened to the conversation between Jiraiya and others, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead in a panic.

He is not optimistic about the current war capabilities of Sunagakure Village, otherwise he would not have the idea of ​​reducing Sunagakure's funding. After hearing this incident, the Kingdom of Wind almost got involved in the war. , and he also started a war with Konoha and Kirigakure, the two strongest ninja villages now. Even though he was a respected and special daimyo, he couldn't help but feel a considerable degree of heart palpitations.

"But assuming Kirigakure is indeed the target of the conspiracy, then what goals do the people of 'Gen' want to achieve against Konoha?"

Nagato took over Jiraiya's words and asked everyone present a new question:

"If the investigation team that attacked Konoha for the first time, the people at Root specifically asked the investigation team to pass on the information in order to allow Konoha to continue sending out new investigation teams, then why did the investigation team for the second time directly There is no news and all the members are missing? If you want to keep bleeding Konoha, there is no reason to wipe out all the second investigation team, right?"

"Two possibilities."

Uchiha Shisui thought for a while, raised two fingers and said in a deep voice:

"One possibility is that they didn't get what they wanted, but they didn't think this could continue, so they stopped for the time being; the other possibility is that they had already gotten what they wanted, so there was no need to If you continue to carry out more actions, you will expose yourself."

"But no matter which possibility it is, we can't ignore one thing...that is, among the investigation teams sent by Konoha, there may be people who the 'roots' want to get."

"really."

After Nagato thought for a moment, he nodded in agreement, and then looked at Jiraiya who also showed a surprised expression.

"Teacher Jiraiya, I would like to trouble you to communicate with the Fourth Hokage to see if there is any special person among the members and candidates of the two investigation teams... If we can find that person, we Perhaps we can take precautions against the 'root' organization's subsequent actions."

"give it to me."

Jiraiya nodded, then looked at Uchiha Shisui, who had just made a wonderful analysis, with half appreciation and half regret, and said with emotion:

"After Kaguya Rei became the Fourth Mizukage and began to reform the entire Kirigakure, many young newcomers like him emerged in Kirigakure... He became one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen at such a young age. This is the first time I have seen this kind of child, who is considered an elite even among jounin in the entire ninja world... Can you tell me your name?"

"Uh...this..."

Hearing Jiraiya ask his name, Uchiha Shisui touched his nose in embarrassment, then lowered his voice in embarrassment and replied in a low voice:

"Uchiha Shisui, my name is Uchiha Shisui, Lord Jiraiya."

"Hmm, Uchiha Shisui? No wonder... huh?"

Jiraiya took over the conversation smoothly, intending to get close to the other party first to see if he could get some valuable personal information out of this young boy who was a little too young, but when he suddenly remembered the name When he read the meaning of this surname, the mouth he had just opened immediately lost the ability to close, and opened wider and wider...

Then, Jiraiya's jaw was dislocated as expected.

Today, real fans are in tears
