"Kumo Shinobu Village, Ye Yueling."
Watergate replied immediately. He saw a cold killing intent in Sandaime's eyes.
Sandaime frowned and asked: "I heard from Watanabe Chun that you chased him back. What was the result of the fight?"
Although Watergate's strength wasn't weak, Sandaime couldn't tell who was stronger between the former and Ye Yueling.
However, Watergate had the Flying Thunder God. Even if he couldn't win, he could still retreat, so Sandaime couldn't judge the result of the fight.
"Slightly better. I injured him, but he didn't continue to attack." Watergate said lightly.
Sandaime was a little surprised and sighed: "It seems that your strength has improved again in more than half a year …"
Sandaime didn't pursue Watergate's action of not continuing to attack.
This was the safest way. Even if Konoha was very angry because of the kidnapping of their Jinchuriki, but if they were to kill Ye Yueling, a little carelessness would cause another war.
Even if Wood Leaf wasn't afraid of war, war wouldn't bring benefits to anyone. It was just a matter of who would lose less.
So … he should endure it.
"Then, did you find out how he sneaked into Wood Leaf and kidnapped Shinna Kushina?" Sandaime asked, although he also knew that the probability of Ye Yueling speaking was not high.
"No." Watergate replied.
Sandaime's expression became gloomy. At this time, Watergate said: "Naruto -sama, I have something to report to you, but before that, I want to see Shinna Kushina to confirm something."
Hearing this, the third generation pondered for a moment before replying, "Alright …"
Immediately, he called a Dark Unit member and gave him a few instructions.
"Shinna Kushina is now protected in her residence. You can go." Sandaime said. Watergate nodded and then grabbed the Anbu's arm.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the two of them disappeared on the spot.
...
Outside Shinna Kushina's residence, Watergate appeared in front of Shinna Kushina's house.
The sudden appearance of the two caused the heavy guards around the courtyard to be instantly stunned.
However, they quickly reacted. Dozens of pairs of eyes locked onto Watergate and the Dark Section member.
Watergate's eyes swept across the area. The people here were not only the Third Generation's Dark Operation, but also people from Root.
He stood still, and the Anbu beside Watergate rushed out. They found the ninja who looked like the captain and talked to him.
"Let him in."
After receiving Sandaime-sama's order, the Anbu captain-like Ninja said. Suddenly, the Anbu members who locked onto Watergate once again returned to their posts.
However, the remaining ninjas didn't have any intention of retreating.
Watergate's eyes darkened.
"Let him in. This is Lord Naruto's order!"
Under the mask, the Dark Troop Commander's eyes darkened as he said in a low voice.
However, the Root ninjas didn't move at all.
"You!" The surrounding Anbu's eyes darkened.
The same is true for Watergate. The Anbu is directly under Naruto's jurisdiction, and the Root is under Danzo's command.
Most of the Root's missions are not on the surface, so they are the dark side of the village.
As the Fourth Naruto, Watergate has a good understanding of this organization. They have removed many potential dangers for Wood Leaf. However, because the Root only listen to Danzo, under the latter's unclear leadership, they have a faint intention of forming another faction.
Wood Leaf looks very peaceful on the surface, but there are some factional disputes, and it's very fierce.
After all, this village is jointly formed by many families, although most of the families regard themselves as part of Wood Leaf.
But when the power reaches a certain level, some families or forces have the intention to seize power.
Danzo, who lost the competition with Sandaime Naruto for Naruto's position, is one of them.
When Sandaime gave the position of Naruto to Watergate, Danzo had a lot of dissatisfaction.
"You don't even listen to Hokage-sama's orders?" Minato looked at the dozen Anbu in front of him and his eyes were slightly cold.
The two sides were in a confrontation for a while.
Watergate spoke, breaking the confrontation, and said in a deep voice: "Do you take Lord Naruto's words as a deaf ear?"
The Anbu's eyes flashed.
At this time, a figure fell and glanced at Watergate.
"Boy, don't try to change the concept here." Danzo's eyes were indifferent.
Minato's eyes met his. With his current status, no matter what he explained to Minato, he would be offending him.
At this time, Watergate could sense Chakra's presence even if he didn't use his perception.
Whoosh!
A figure wearing Naruto's embroidered clothes appeared in front of Watergate.
Sandaime looked at Danzo and said: "I let Watergate and Minato enter to find out the whole story of this incident. What?
You want to stop me? "
The former's eyes were cold, and a faint pressure was emitted from his body, making everyone present, including Watergate and Danzo's heart sank.
This is the momentum of Sandaime Naruto!
Shinna Kushina's identity is confidential, and Sandaime certainly won't say in front of many ninjas that the Nine Tails' Jinchuriki was kidnapped.
Danzo heard Sandaime's words and didn't dare to say anything. He waved his hand, and the Anbu around him directly withdrew.
"You go in." Sandaime looked at Watergate and said.
Minato nodded and walked out slowly, brushing past Danzo. The latter's eyes were gloomy and gloomy.
"Get your men out of here!"
When Watergate walked into the courtyard, he faintly heard Sandaime's gloomy voice outside, but this is not what he needs to care about now.
In the courtyard, many eyes were still staring at Watergate.
He quickly passed through the corridor and came to the door of Shinna Kushina's room. When he opened the door, a figure rushed towards him and was pulled into his arms.
Shinna Kushina.
"Are you okay?"
In his arms, Shinna Kushina's somewhat choked voice came out. Even if she was faintly afraid because of the kidnapping, her first concern was Watergate.
Watergate couldn't help but feel warm, and the complicated emotions in his eyes suddenly dissipated.
He stroked Shinna Kushina's red hair, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
"I'm fine, the bad guys who bullied you, I've taught them a lesson." Watergate chuckled. He felt Shinna Kushina's body tremble slightly in his arms.
"So, don't cry, you are the Blood Red Pepper."
Watergate said. Shinna Kushina quickly pulled her head out of his arms and stared at him with her big watery eyes.
The two looked at each other, and after a moment, Shinna Kushina's tears turned into laughter, and said: "I'm afraid, I'll never see you again …"
"I know."
Watergate said while wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes.
He knew that Shinna Kushina was very strong physically and mentally, and her tears were not because of the fear of death.
But she was afraid that she would never see the people she cherished … the friends she finally had, and the lover she loved!
