Third Hokage listened blankly to the mission report from Kakashi Hatake. The first half of the report was surprisingly smooth. Ninjas from different villages were hostile to each other and tested each other. This was a normal phenomenon. Since no one died on either side, it showed that both sides were very restrained.
Then Kakashi and the others successfully completed the handover of Three-Tails, and Kirigakure's strategic weapons were recovered... Some of the rough operations here are not worth showing off. Even Kakashi Even felt there was no need to tell Third Hokage. Hokage had a multi-faceted responsibility. As a mature jounin, there was no reason to add unnecessary burden, especially mental burden, to the busy Hokage.
Compared with the smoothness of the first half of the mission, their return journey in the second half seemed very magical.
"Kakashi, you are saying that you were chased by Fourth Mizukage while returning from Land of Water. After a round of fighting, you noticed that Mizukage was being hunted by someone. controlled by Mizukage's illusion, and then you very kindly adopted a relatively simple and rough method to remove Mizukage's illusion?" Third Hokage summarized what Kakashi just said in very concise words.
"Yes." Kakashi nodded, thinking that Hokage is indeed Hokage, and his understanding ability is really excellent.
Third Hokage reached out and covered his forehead. If possible, he even wanted to cover his eyes... What the hell is this? What's wrong with this world.
Obviously, Third Hokage may need targeted treatment at this time, such as Shock Therapy.
After about three minutes of mental activity, Third Hokage waved his hand and said to Kakashi, "I understand, Kakashi, please step back."
Kakashi silently exited Hokage's Office, and then let out a long breath calmly. Third Hokage did not doubt that he was telling a story, which shows that Lord Hokage is well-informed and has a strong nerve.
In short, the previous mission was completed without any danger. After Kakashi left Hokage's Office, he then reported to Kushina Uzumaki what happened on the return trip. Compared with the brief report to Hokage, Kakashi's report to Kushina was even more detailed. Including Yuhara used a special ninjutsu.
"Is there a ninjutsu that can transform into a giant snake with eight heads and one body? If I guess correctly, it should be Forbidden Technique'Eight Branches Technique' in the village. Ninjas who are not Chakra's powerful and mentally strong are not allowed to use such ninjutsu."
After listening to Kakashi's description, Kushina Uzumaki quickly determined the origin of Eight Branches Technique. It can be seen that she is not just doing some random things... At this time, she already has a relatively deep understanding of the secrets of Konoha.
"Well, the point is, why did Yuhara use Secret Techniques of Konoha? He probably didn't have the corresponding acquisition channels. What does this mean?" Kakashi asked again.
It shows that the connection between Yuhara and Orochimaru is much deeper than expected. Not long before Orochimaru left Konoha, Yuhara still maintained a special connection with Orochimaru... Kushina thought silently in his heart.
Of course Yuhara has no way of contacting Forbidden Technique, but according to the information obtained by Third Hokage, Orochimaru clearly stole Konoha Forbidden Technique "Eight Branches Technique".
But after Kushina thought about it, he still felt that Yuhara's problem was not big. First, he still used such a technique in public instead of conducting research in secret, which shows that it is very likely that Yuhara does not even understand the meaning of Eight Branches Technique; second, regardless of the previous connection between Yuhara and Orochimaru, As Orochimaru rebelled against the village, this connection must have been severed, and the cutting was very physical, so it seemed particularly decisive - because of the interception of Yuhara and Tenzo, Orochimaru lost his life not too far away from Konoha, well, at least he lost a layer of his skin.
It can be seen that some women tend to rely on their own emotional tendencies when making some judgments. Because of the experience in Nine-Tails Incident, Kushina has always had a very good impression of Yuhara, and she will also consider these things in a positive direction.
At this time, Kushina was thinking about the events of just a few years. Compared with the rapid improvement of Yuhara's strength, the progress of Kakashi's strength seemed not worth mentioning... Although Kakashi's Mangekyō Sharingan is very powerful, it cannot be used as a conventional means of combat.
After careful consideration for a while, Kushina finally decided to give something to Kakashi.
"Kakashi, as Minato's disciple, he should teach you this technique, and you should try your best to learn it... No, it should be said that with your talent, you must learn such a technique, because there is no reason why you can't learn it."
While saying this, Kushina Uzumaki handed a scroll into the hands of Kakashi.
"Master Kushina, is this...?"
When Kakashi took the scroll, he had already expected the technique Kushina said. However, when he actually unfolded the scroll and saw the contents, he still felt a lot of pressure... Who can guarantee that he can 100% learn such a technique? However, Kushina made such a rigid rule unreasonably.
It can be seen that although Kushina Uzumaki has a very good impression of Yuhara, she can still tell clearly who is her biological godson.
There is a difference between a mother's child and an orphan.
Two days later, Kushina Uzumaki held a small morning meeting in Small Earth Building. The content of the meeting was very simple. It just told everyone that a new member had joined "Crimson Crown".
The new person who joined Crimson Crown is naturally the "abandoned" Mitaraishi Anko left behind by Orochimaru who betrayed Konoha some time ago.
Mitaraishi Anko was regarded as the product of Orochimaru Gekko Duanba in the village at this time, and her situation was very delicate. Although Third Hokage had ruled that she had nothing to do with the defection incident, the gossip would not disappear because of this, and it would also be difficult for her to be accepted by other work departments.
Fortunately, there is a place in the village that welcomes all comers, so it can be regarded as accepting Mitarai as a refugee.
And in this small meeting, Mitaraishi Anko actually discovered an "acquaintance" - there was once such a crazy man on the street, which caused a little commotion in her.
But this occasion is not the time to talk about this. After the meeting, Yuhara immediately pulled Kakashi and Tenzo here... At this time, Orochimaru had betrayed Konoha, and he no longer cared about Anko mung beans or sweet potatoes.
"Senior Kakashi, Tenzo, I have a secret mission for you. This is related to the next development of our organization and even the entire Konoha. It can even be said to be a century-old plan." After pulling Kakashi and Tenzo into his office, Yuhara said to them very seriously.
Kakashi and Tenzo looked at each other, and then simultaneously had a very ominous premonition.
"Tell me something specific." Kakashi said.
"The specific thing? The specific thing is that you have to dig a deep tunnel from Konoha to Nameless Mountain to lay out a special Chakra energy path." Yuhara said.
"..."
"If I remember correctly, Konoha is a hundred kilometers away from Nameless Mountain."
"It's a hundred kilometers."
"..."
"It's only a hundred kilometers. For a ninja, if you run, it's very close."
Yes, in terms of running.
And what about digging?
Don't know, don't understand, don't know.
But let others give it a try.
