Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

Kaguya Rei's early infiltration work was still very smooth.

After all, he is acting alone now, so he doesn't have much to worry about. At the same time, Konoha's side has just finished a fierce battle, and they still need to be wary of the Kirigakure side's comeback. There are currently not that many manpower available to maintain the blockade. In addition to Kaguya Rei's excellent ninja qualities, it only took him two days to bypass the front line and reach the core area of ​​the Fire Country.

Looking at the small town in front of her, which even though it was shrouded in the clouds of war, still had a much stronger commercial atmosphere than the Kingdom of Water, Kaguya curled her lips and secretly sighed at the fertility of the Land of Fire. Come with a unique gift.

It is indeed the foundation laid by the two most powerful men during the Warring States Period. It is not only rich in resources and fertile land, but also has transportation routes extending in all directions. If someone really unifies the ninja world one day, the territory will be almost equal to that of the other four major countries. The neighboring Fire Country is obviously one of the most suitable places to establish a capital.

And unlike the Kingdom of Water, which has its national economic lifeline tied to the task delegation and war employment of Kirigakure Village, the economic model of the Kingdom of Fire is obviously much healthier.

Caravans formed by ordinary people come and go, the sounds of hawking in the towns are endless, and Konoha ninjas can occasionally be seen flying over the roofs and walking over the walls. Such ordinary people and ninjas jointly support the performance of the country's economy. In the current ninja era, It can be considered a very good plan.

Even when walking in the city, Kaguya Rei could hear someone selling something as obscure as Uchiha pancakes.

"Tsk, it seems that the first step in reform is to help those guys in the village who only know how to fight and kill, develop some industries that can make money outside of tasks..."

Sitting down at a random street shop with a good view, Kaguya ordered some special snacks from the Land of Fire. While tasting the exotic food, she thought about what industries could be developed in the Land of Water.

Then, just as he was gradually lost in thought, a commotion suddenly came from the street outside:

"Did anyone see where that guy fled after he came out of the casino?"

"Wha, who is this person?"

"That's the legendary big fat sheep! She lost a lot of money to us, and then she mortgaged her follower in the casino, saying she wanted to raise some funds before going back to gamble, but now she just went If she doesn’t come back, even her attendant who was pawned at the casino will sneak away at some point!”

"Fuck! Did that fat sheep actually come here!? No, I heard He Tailang bragging there the day before yesterday, saying that an old woman with blond hair borrowed a large loan shark from him. Could it be? She did it!?"

"Search for me! We must find that nasty old woman!!!"

Listening to the hustle and bustle outside gradually fading away, Kaguya Rei looked around the small shop where he was, and then his eyes oddly landed on the two twelve or thirteen year old girls at the table next to him.

The black-haired girl seemed to have been greatly wronged, muttering something to complain about to the blond one, while the blond-haired girl ignored the black-haired girl's complaints with a relaxed expression and was doing her best. He continued to deal with the food in front of him.

In the middle of the blonde girl's forehead, there is a light blue prismatic mark.

No, can I bump into Tsunade?

The ninja world is so small...

Kaguya shook her head speechlessly, quickly cleared away the food in front of her, left the bill and left.

It's not time to make contact with Tsunade yet, so there is no need to disrupt his already planned action plan just because she appears in front of him in advance.

What's more, as a newly promoted Jonin of Kirigakure, what qualifications do I have to talk to Tsunade Hime, the granddaughter of the First Hokage and one of the Three Ninjas of Konoha, about cooperation?

Konoha and Kirigakure are still fighting to the death on the front line!

At the same time, despite Yamanaka Haruto's medical advice, he forcibly dragged the sick body to Namikaze Minato near the town, but stopped without warning.

"Minato-sensei? Why did you stop suddenly?"

Seeing Minato Namikaze stop unusually, Kakashi Hatake thought it was the teacher's wound that was opening and bleeding again. He rushed to Minato Namikaze in a blink of an eye, but Minato Namikaze just shook his head at him. He waved his hand, then closed his eyes, sensing his own chakra on the spot.

"It's unmistakable. It feels like the mark of the Flying Thunder God...but why is it here?"

"Minato-sensei?" Although he was a little confused, Hatake Kakashi still took out the kunai from his ninja bag very alertly, "Did you find any traces of the enemy?"

"No, it's trickier than that..."

Namikaze Minato opened his eyes and said to himself with an ugly expression:

"Kaguya Rei... why did you suddenly appear here? Did you receive information from Lady Tsunade and plan to come over to attack Lady Tsunade and prevent her from returning to Konoha?"

"No, that's not quite right. The Mark of the Flying Thunder God is moving outside the town... Are you trying to move the battlefield outside? But there is no sign of fighting breaking out in the city. Judging from Tsunade-sama's character, , it is impossible to just follow the other party without doing anything..."

"Or, he has other missions and is not here for Tsunade-sama..."

Hearing the name Rei Kaguya appear in Namikaze Minato's soliloquy, Kakashi subconsciously covered his left eye, as if he suddenly returned to that blood-filled night.

It is true that Rei Kaguya was not the murderer who directly killed Nohara Rin, but it was precisely because he seriously injured himself and consumed a large amount of his chakra that he was ultimately unable to save Nohara Rin from other Mist ninjas.

Moreover, the mysterious Hyuga kunoichi who took the initiative to help him also disappeared after the battle with Kaguya Rei. If there were no accidents, there is a high probability that she has become a wisp of the dead soul in his hands, right?

"Minato-sensei, if there is a battle next, can you leave it to me?"

Kakashi tightened his grip on the kunai in his hand and asked Namikaze Minato with a clear self-destructive tone.

"No, no...we can't defeat that guy now."

Namikaze Minato keenly caught Hatake Kakashi's abnormal mood, sighed and raised his hand to hold his shoulders.

"Don't think about dying with that Kaguya Rei, Kakashi...that guy's strength has far exceeded the scope of regular ninjas. He is a monster-like existence who can't see the limit at a glance. You If you rush forward recklessly to seek revenge on him, you will only end up with a meaningless death."

"But……"

"Kakashi," Namikaze Minato leaned down despite the severe pain in his waist, looked at Kakashi seriously with pain and hatred burning in his eyes, and said to him seriously:

"Teacher Jiraiya once said to me that the so-called ninjas are people who can endure suffering and pain... I agree with this very much, because only those who survive can have the opportunity to change the things that create suffering and pain. Moreover, it takes much more courage to live than to die.

Kakashi, you are my only disciple who is still alive. I hope that you can inherit what Jiraiya-sensei taught me and pass them on to the next generation of ninjas in Konoha... Until then, you must learn well. Just stay alive, okay? "

"Teacher, do you want me to give up revenge?" Kakashi lowered his head and asked emotionally.

"Whether you want to give up revenge or not is a matter for you to choose, Kakashi." Minato Namikaze patted Kakashi's shoulder gently and said in a gentle tone: "What I hope for is only Kakashi." You can only live well and grow well until you make up your mind completely.

Until then, I, as a teacher, will help you withstand the ups and downs outside. "

After saying that, Namikaze Minato straightened up with a grin on his face, and together with his disciples who fell into silence, while leaving the Flying Thunder God Kunai for transfer outside the town, he carefully entered the town that Rei Kaguya had just left. among.
