"Oh, what kind of files do you want to borrow?"
Sandaime asked immediately. He originally thought that Watergate would ask him for some kind of Ninjutsu scrolls.
However, he was just a little surprised. Geniuses like Watergate often have their own ideas.
Watergate pondered a little and then said, "I want to borrow some files about the history of Wood Leaf, preferably including the history of the Warring States period before the establishment of Wood Leaf."
As soon as this statement came out, Sandaime's eyes suddenly became cold.
He didn't expect that what Watergate wanted was actually these things.
After saying that, Watergate also raised his eyes and looked at Sandaime's reaction.
Although he didn't know whether his request could be fulfilled or not, he still wanted to try his best.
Because Watergate knew what he needed to do the most in this rebirth.
The masked man who will take advantage of Shinna Kushina's childbirth to seize the Nine Tails and attack Wood Leaf ten years later.
Watergate didn't know his specific identity, but what he can be sure of is that this guy has hatred for Wood Leaf Ninja Village and even the entire ninja world. He also clearly remembers some of the words that the former said when he fought with him.
[Attacking Wood Leaf was also a spur of the moment thing that I planned for a long time, not only for war, but also for peace.]
That guy not only knows his own abilities, but also everything about Wood Leaf.
The space-time ninjutsu he has should be a kind of dojutsu.
According to Watergate's knowledge, the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan is powerful, but to have a special ability like the masked man, only the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan has such a special ability.
In the history of Wood Leaf, as far as Watergate knows, the only people who have the Mangekyou Sharingan are Uchiha Madara and his brother, Uchiha Izuna.
Regardless of whether the person who attacked Wood Leaf was Uchiha Madara or not, this person who has the Mangekyou Sharingan definitely has a deep grudge against Wood Leaf.
Therefore, if you want to find out the purpose of the masked man, you have to trace back to the beginning of Wood Leaf and even the more distant history of the Warring States period.
There are some secrets in this kind of history that only the real high-level members of the village are qualified to read.
When Watergate became the fourth Nirvana Naruto, he naturally had this qualification, but at that time was at the end of the Third Shinobi World War, and Wood Leaf won the victory under the siege of the four major Shinobi clans.
Just dealing with these matters was enough to leave Minato in a terrible state. However, he did not have the time to look through these materials.
Therefore, with his current rank, he was not very confident that he could borrow these materials.
After all, it involves some aspects of the village that ordinary people can't touch.
For example, most of the tasks performed by Root can't be put on the table.
This is called politics.
Where there is light, there must be a corner shrouded in darkness.
Sandaime-sama frowned and thought.
After ten minutes, Sandaime-sama slowly relaxed his brows and raised his eyes to look at Watergate, and asked in a heavy voice, "I can lend you these files, but I want to know … Why do you want to read these things?"
Watergate, who originally thought that there was no hope, immediately looked at Sandaime-sama and said, "Because I have just experienced a war, and for the village, I can fight with my life, but I also want to know, what is the origin of the war between ninjas?"
This was the excuse Watergate came up with in advance.
After he finished speaking, the third generation's eyes stared fixedly at him, meeting his gaze.
Watergate raised his eyes and met Sandaime-sama's eyes. Regardless of whether his reason is true or false, his purpose is for the village and Shinna Kushina, there is no falsehood.
Therefore, after looking at each other for a while, Sandaime-sama's heavy expression gradually relaxed, and it turned into a smile.
"I didn't expect that your thinking has reached such a level!"
Watergate's brief words just now surprised Sandaime-sama more than the fact that he developed an S-class ninjutsu.
A ninja, even if he is amazing and talented, but if his thinking is extreme, the more power he has, the more trouble he will cause.
But Watergate, who was only eleven years old, has already jumped out of the surface of the war and looked for the root cause behind it.
This was something that only the Hokage … needed to consider.
"If it's this child, maybe he can …"
Suddenly, Sandaime-sama had an idea. He just entrusted the future to Watergate, and the child also decisively agreed.
However, he immediately suppressed that thought and chuckled.
Watergate's future may be able to achieve what he just thought, but with his background, even if he worships Jiraiya as his teacher, he still needs to accumulate too much on this road.
This refers to not only the strength of a ninja.
"Since I promised you just now, I have to prepare for it. I think … If I want to achieve what I promised you, it's not just to become a powerful ninja. After all, no matter how powerful an individual is, there is a limit to it."
Sandaime-sama heard this and couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "Well said!"
If other people have this kind of achievement at Watergate's age, it's already commendable to not be arrogant and impatient.
As far as Sandaime knows, only the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, who grew up in the war-torn Warring States Period, had such a mindset.
Sandaime-sama met Uchiha Madara when he was a teenager, and both of them had the same goal. Since then, after many years of war and many other things, these two people at the peak of the ninja world at that time joined forces.
That's how the current Wood Leaf Ninja Village came into existence. Later, many countries followed suit and established ninja villages, gradually forming the current ninja world.
Sandaime-sama couldn't help but feel ashamed, the boy in front of him is even more far-sighted than him, Naruto.
"So, do you promise me?" Watergate asked tentatively.
"Yes, but you have to promise me that you won't reveal what you saw to anyone, not even Shinna Kushina." Sandaime-sama said solemnly.
Watergate pondered a little and nodded heavily: "I promise you in the name of Wood Leaf Ninja that I won't reveal anything to anyone."
Sandaime-sama heard this and nodded with a smile.
Watergate was thinking quickly, he originally planned to borrow the Scroll of Seals, so that he can use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu in the future.
However, compared to the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, now he needs to understand the secret history of Wood Leaf Ninja Village. The matter of ninjutsu can only be discussed later …
