Konoha Hospital, in the intensive care unit.
Almost all the current high-level powerful people in the village are gathered in this room. However, the situation of these big shots is really not decent, and can even be said to be quite miserable.
The four hospital beds are placed side by side. Although they are in the same mess, they are in different shapes. The first is the two old people who are relatively "minor" in injuries, but are the most agitated and have been nagging menacingly, Kobutsu Koharu and Mitokado Homura.
Except for their eyes and mouths, the rest of their faces were tightly wrapped in thick white bandages, resembling two talking mummy heads.
Every time he opened his mouth, it seemed that the wounds on his face would be touched, causing a sting, but this did not stop them from complaining and questioning at all.
"Hiruzen! Did you hear what we said?!" Kobutsu Koharu's voice sounded a little dull through the bandages, but the anger in it was clearly discernible, "This time it's just nonsense! How could you let the previous generation Nine-Tails Jinchuriki act so wantonly in Hokage Building?!"
"And it happens to be during this critical period of post-war reconstruction and power transfer! Because of her trouble, do you know how much more time and resources we have to waste on dealing with the aftermath? What excuses will be used to delay and explain the succession ceremony of the next Hokage to the outside world?"
"Also!" Mitokado Homura took over, "Are you going to deal with Kushina Uzumaki's matter coldly like this? 'Just keep it like this'? What kind of attitude is this! Letting the undead who have been confirmed dead continue to stay in the world is a serious blasphemy against the order of life and death! Breaking this taboo, once the news is leaked, will cause vigilance and backlash from other major countries. Have you considered the consequences?!"
And on the hospital bed opposite them, lay Third Hokage--Hiruzen Sarutobi, who looked the most miserable in the whole room. His whole appearance was full of exotic style. If you didn't look at the exposed old face, which was full of exhaustion, it would be mistaken for a newly unearthed Egyptian mummy.
His limbs were firmly fixed with strong plasters and he could not move at all. After experiencing countless Ninja World battles and facing countless powerful enemies, the ninjutsu professor had never been so embarrassed. Even if he received Medical Ninjutsu treatment every day, the doctor estimated that it would take at least a month to regain basic mobility.
Third Hokage lay there in silence, not responding to the barrage of condemnations from the two old friends and advisers opposite him. In fact, when he first woke up, he had already answered most of their questions.
But the answer clearly stated that he had no intention of "dealing with" or forcibly removing Kushina from its current status. This obviously made Kobutsu Koharu and Mitokado Homura extremely dissatisfied, so the questioning has continued until now.
Since there is no way to make them shut up, they have no choice but to remain silent. Third Hokage thought helplessly, and simply closed his eyes, out of sight and out of mind.
Next to Third Hokage's hospital bed, Jiraiya's condition was not much better. One of his arms and most of his face was also covered with bandages, but he obviously knew how to deal with himself in this environment - he blocked his ears firmly with earplugs, blocking out most of the noise pollution.
Then, with the hand that was still free to move, he leisurely flipped through a book written by himself, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
I was still struggling with how to apologize for my indifference to Naruto for so many years... but I was beaten directly by Kushina into such a bad behavior...Jiraiya smiled bitterly in his heart,
However, the strange thing is that after Jiraiya suffered this physical torture, the heavy feeling of guilt in his heart was reduced a lot and he felt much more relaxed.
I hope that the next time we see Kushina... her anger will dissipate a little... Jiraiya is secretly looking forward to it. After all, regarding the matter of accepting Naruto as a disciple, if Naruto's parents are still alive, they must agree both emotionally and rationally.
Although the current method of "physical communication" is a bit rough, it can still be regarded as a... another kind of "information", right?
"I'm sorry, young lady, this is the intensive care area, and irrelevant personnel are not allowed to enter or leave at will."
Suddenly, a nurse's dissuasive voice came from not far outside the ward door.
"It doesn't matter. I'm an acquaintance of those stinky old men inside. I went in to do some errands and will leave immediately."
Another female voice with an unmistakable aura followed. To some people in the ward, this voice was almost nightmarishly familiar.
"Stinky... stinky old man?! Please leave here immediately! If you insist on making trouble, I have no choice but to call the guard Ninja to come over!" The nurse's voice became obviously nervous.
"Eh? Wait! What are you going to do?! Please don't do this--!"
"Bang!!!!!"
With a deafening bang, the heavy door of the ward was not pushed open, but was blasted by a fist into fragments flying all over the sky!
The nurse who was responsible for blocking him stared at the scene in front of him in stunned silence, and finally realized that this red-haired woman was no ordinary visitor, and could be an extremely dangerous person!
In the ward, except for Third Hokage, whose neck was fixed and unable to move, he could only glance at the door with the corner of his eye. Everyone else was shocked by the sudden violent break-in and looked at the door--
Sure enough, standing among the ruins at the door was none other than Kushina Uzumaki, whose bright red hair was driven by anger and anger! Her face was terrifyingly gloomy.
"Kushina Uzumaki! What are you going to do again?!" Kobutsu Koharu stared at the intruder through the bandage on his face with his only exposed eyes, "Didn't you cause enough trouble in Hokage Building?! This is a hospital!"
"Kushina..." Jiraiya also hurriedly put the novel in his hand under the pillow, and sat up straighter nervously, "What happened again? Let's talk carefully..."
"What do I want to do?" Kushina's voice was cold and biting. She walked into the ward step by step and glanced at the people on the bed. "No, I want to ask you - what on earth did you do?!"
Her voice suddenly rose, with incredible anger and questioning, and she threw it at Third Hokage, who was lying in the middle of the hospital bed, unable to move.
"Smelly old man... tell me yourself! Uchiha Clan was exterminated - what does this mean?!!"
