On a reef in the sea border of the Water Country, a figure suddenly appeared.
It was Watergate, who had just escaped from the Mist Village.
The sea at night was also misty, giving people a feeling of an endless abyss.
The reef, which was barely big enough for a person to stand on, floated there.
"Ugh."
Watergate sighed, before carrying out this mission, he never thought that he would experience so many twists and turns.
He saved Empress Shōmei's life from the Anbu of the Mist, and he didn't know if it was good or bad for her.
But he only knew that even if that scene was repeated dozens of times, he would still do it.
He couldn't bear to watch a five-year-old girl die in front of him.
Remembering Empress Shōmei's firm look when he left, Watergate's mind was immediately occupied by another beautiful face.
"Shinna Kushina …"
Watergate couldn't help but smile, the reason why he saved Empress Shōmei was because of the similarities between the two.
Therefore, he reined in his thoughts and formed a seal with his hands on the surface of the sea that was filled with terrifying mist.
Whoosh!
Feeling the resonance of Chakra, Watergate's figure disappeared again.
...
Wood Leaf Village, Watergate's house.
After several space-time teleportation, a figure that looked quite embarrassed flashed out.
About a minute ago, Watergate was still in the Mist Village, but now, he was back in the village.
This is the amazing thing about space-time ninjutsu, no matter how fast the teleportation technique is, it can't be compared with it.
Looking at his ragged clothes, Watergate smiled slightly, opened the door, and walked in.
Shui Men took a hot bath. The weather in the Water Country was humid. Coupled with the fact that they had been on the sea for more than a month, it was very uncomfortable.
When Minato put on clean clothes, he discovered that the wounds on his body from the battle with the Mist ninjas have gradually scabbed.
He could still feel the itchiness on his back. At this time, Watergate's most serious injury was obviously recovering quickly.
This is the self-healing ability of Watergate's body. As he grows older, not only is the amount of Chakra several times stronger than before, but even his self-healing ability is incredible.
Now, the amount of Chakra he has is enough for him to cast the Vortex Burst Gale Style Zero.
"Huh!"
He took a deep breath. This trip to the Mist village was very complicated because of his unauthorized actions. Until now, Watergate didn't know the true identity of the person who was proficient in Uzumaki Jutsu.
Even with the wisdom of two Watergate's, this time, he couldn't guess it.
"I can only report to Sandaime Naruto truthfully."
Watergate said. Sandaime Naruto was the direct disciple of the first and second generations. He may not know as much about the Uzumaki Jutsu as he does, but when it comes to the history of the Uzumaki Jutsu, even if he has read a lot of files, he can't compare with Sandaime.
After all, those are just records, and Sandaime personally experienced that era.
Immediately, Watergate left the house. At this time, the streets of Wood Leaf were bustling with people.
This was in direct contrast to the cold atmosphere of the Mist village.
Seeing that it was still early, Watergate decided to go to see Shinna Kushina before reporting to Naruto -sama.
Whoosh!
His figure flashed and appeared in front of Shinna Kushina's house. However, when he extended his perception, he found that Shinna Kushina wasn't at home.
Then, he jumped again, and this time, he appeared in the courtyard of the Qimu family.
As soon as he opened the door in front of him, Watanabe, who had returned to her previous appearance, appeared. Behind her, there was a white-haired petite figure running out.
"Hello, Brother Watergate!" Little Kakashi followed behind Watanabe and said very politely.
"Hello."
Watergate smiled and stepped forward and rubbed his white hair, which was the same as Sho Sho's. He has a pair of dark eyes, black and bright, just like Watanabe.
Generally, it's not unusual for a child as old as Kakashi to be able to speak and walk, but it's rare for a child to be able to recognize each person very clearly and move quickly.
After all, he's a unique genius in the history of Wood Leaf. He graduated from the ninja school at the age of five and became a Chunin at the age of six.
He was promoted to a Jonin at the age of twelve and was able to independently develop an A-class ninjutsu. Even a genius like Watergate could only sigh.
He's worthy of being the son of Wood Leaf's White Fang.
"Chun senpai, is Shinna Kushina not with you?"
Watergate asked. Since Kakashi was born, Shinna Kushina often came to see him. Her friendship with Watanabe is quite good.
"She came this morning, but she left after lunch. But you, I haven't seen you for a long time." Watanabe chuckled. She's a mother now and has a gentle temperament.
"Well."
Minato nodded. Naturally, he couldn't reveal anything about the Mist's mission.
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from where he stood.
...
"You didn't see her?" Watergate frowned slightly in front of the gate of the Uchiha Clan.
Mikoto in front of him asked, "What's wrong?"
Watergate's face sank, and he didn't answer Mikoto's question and instantly disappeared.
...
On the eaves of Watergate's house, he formed hand seals, and his perception quickly spread out.
Shinna Kushina has Watergate's Flying Thunder God mark, but there are many marks in Wood Leaf, so he can't find the specific location of Shinna Kushina.
This kind of large-scale perception will attract the attention of the Sensor Ninjas in the village, but he can't find Shinna Kushina. Watergate's heart gradually panicked.
When his perception reached every corner of Wood Leaf, he still couldn't find the whereabouts of Shinna Kushina.
"What the hell is going on!?"
Watergate's face suddenly changed, Shinna Kushina can't leave Wood Leaf without him.
"Could it be …!?"
His eyes shrank again. Watergate remembered that Shinna Kushina was kidnapped by the Ninjas of Kumo Shinobu village.
But that's history, and unlike the Second Shinobi World War at that time, Wood Leaf is now full of experts, how can someone kidnap Shinna Kushina?
At this time, the Wood Leaf Ninjas who were alarmed by Watergate's perception also rushed in his direction.
Watergate didn't care so much, he locked his perception in a direction and extended it.
Whoosh!
The next moment, he suddenly disappeared.
...
In the dense forest less than three miles away from Wood Leaf, Watergate's figure flashed.
He glanced around and saw the special kunai that had been thrown on the ground.
This was given to her by Watergate before he went to the battlefield during the Second Shinobi World War. At the top of the kunai, Shinna Kushina was tied to a small doll.
Picking up the special kunai, Watergate's eyes suddenly became very gloomy, it was a strong murderous intent.
For the person who kidnapped Shinna Kushina, the former has put him on the kill list.
It was because of Watergate's departure that the masked man stripped Shinna Kushina's tailed beast.
Watergate's heart will not allow this kind of thing to happen again.
Immediately, he made a hand seal and sensed the Flying Thunder God's coordinates in Shinna Kushina's seal.
...
