Konoha's Destiny Twins

In a ninjutsu battle, Jiraiya may encounter a powerful enemy that he cannot defeat.

But as the author of "The Legend of Gensho Ninja" and the founder of the future "Intimate Heaven" series, his verbal skills are truly the best in the ninja world.

Although he didn't know Jiraiya's purpose of "spreading rumors" about the cause of his injury this time, Qingshui would not take the initiative to expose it.

So he wisely remained silent.

Kushina soon continued: "Actually, Minato has always cared about it... but he is very busy. Although he rarely returned home once this month, he didn't even have a meal with me, and then continued to go out on missions. .”

"So I thought I'd come over and have a look."

"I'm really sorry, Qingshui!" Kushina lowered her head and said.

"……Don't."

With your movements so exaggerated, aren't you afraid that something might happen to Naruko?

"Qingshui, you don't accept our apology?"

No, I have absolutely no idea what's wrong with you.

"Ahem." Qing Shui collected his thoughts and then said seriously, "This is actually just a small matter, there is no need to be like this..."

"Eh?! How is this a trivial matter?" Kushina said anxiously, "Qingshui, you almost died!"

"..."

After Kushina's explanation, Qingshui finally understood the general plot.

After Minato was defeated, the Sandaime Hokage had a long talk with Minato, probably to modify the scene of Shimizu's "peace talks" with him and Jiraiya, and said that it was not incomprehensible for Shimizu to support Orochimaru, because Orochi Maru was also a person who could shed blood and shed tears for Konoha. Although he researched many secret experiments and forbidden techniques, he did not use Konoha ninja as the original experimental subject, and finally recognized Orochimaru's identity as the Fourth Hokage.

Jiraiya had also talked about this matter with Minato specifically, and the general content was similar, except that Jiraiya also took it upon himself to add fuel to the fire and added the fourth generation Hokage he had lost for Minato in the "peace talks" scene. He "cryed" and finally "beat" Qing Shui.

As for the purpose of the Sandaime Hokage and Jiraiya doing this, maybe they hope that he and Minato will not have their relationship affected or even have internal conflicts because of what happened in the past, because the two of them can be said to be the most prestigious among the younger generation of ninjas. The most powerful existence.

If the two of them can fight side by side as always, it will indeed not make the current crumbling Konoha even worse.

Thinking of this, Qingshui couldn't help but admire the Sandaime Hokage's steady style of taking things up and letting them go, and focusing on the overall situation.

He was the one who wanted to support Minato at first, but it turned out that he was the one who smoothed things over for Orochimaru later.

Should I say this is because I have no principles, or is I just an old fox?

In short, Minato was indeed relieved a lot after these two people's actions.

After all, he loves the village of Konoha so much that he wants to be Hokage, and his ultimate goal is to make the village better.

Since Orochimaru can do better than him, it is not shameful or embarrassing for him to bow his head and admit defeat.

The only thing he regrets is that Jiraiya "took action" against Qing Shui, which caused Minato to always feel apologetic.

Minato is such a kind-hearted boy.

After sending Kushina away, Qingshui's ward suddenly became deserted again.

Originally, he was a little worried that it would be awkward to meet Minato in the future, but now it seemed that it was not as serious as he thought.

Of course, if you want to get along as naturally as before, that's probably too much to hope for.

On May 15, Konoha 48, one month after the election of the Fourth Hokage, Shimizu finally recovered.

After he was discharged from the hospital, he went to the Konoha Orphanage as soon as possible.

Soon he met the current director of the orphanage, pharmacist Nonoyu.

"It's Qingshui, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you here to see Satomi?"

"yes."

"Sato seems to be out on a mission.

"

No wonder, there is no news from the other party for so long. It turns out that he is out on execution.

"Um?!"

Wait, isn't Satomi no longer a ninja?

Why are you going out on a mission again?

"Eh?" Nonoyu was stunned, and Qingshui had disappeared in front of her eyes.

"Today's young people..."

Qingshui arrived at the Hokage Building at a very fast speed. Looking at these familiar faces in the building, everything seemed to be the same as a month ago.

However, the person working on the top floor of this building now is the fourth generation Hokage - Orochimaru.

"Yiyuejun has recovered."

"Full health and full status." Qingshui asked straight to the point after entering the door, "Did you give the position of director of the orphanage to the pharmacist Noonoyu?"

Didn't you agree to cut off Danzo's food supply? This orphanage is controlled by people with roots, wouldn't it give him a chance to add new blood?

Orochimaru was not angry at Shimizu's recklessness, but showed an intriguing smile: "Yiyuki-kun has been to the orphanage."

"how?"

Why does Orochimaru's smile feel wrong?

"Duanzo's current power has been reduced a lot compared to before, and his current influence on Konoha, or the threat to me, is not great."

"Sometimes, we can't push a wounded beast too hard, otherwise it will be counterproductive."

It makes sense, but you have indeed changed, Orochimaru.

You used to be...

"Okay, you are the Hokage and you have the final say." Danzo was not the real purpose of Qingshui's trip. He would not dictate too much what Orochimaru wanted, so Qingshui continued, "But we have said before Yes, that kid named Kabuto?"

"Kabuto, it's okay. I'll tell Nonoyu, and you can go directly to pick them up then."

"No... let him live in the orphanage. I will go over when I find time to whip him up."

After thinking about it, Qingshui thought that this model was the best. A child's healthy growth cannot be separated from the influence of the environment.

Only under the intertwined dual influence of the orphanage's love and Gen's hatred can Kabuto be created.

"Although I don't know why April-Jun is so interested in this child, it's okay."

"It's just for fun."

There's no special reason, it's just bad taste.

The next step is business.

"Orochimaru, do you know that Satomi is out on a mission?"

"Know."

"When did this happen?"

"Shortly after we learned that Kirigakure Village was plotting against the Three-Tails."

"You know you won't tell me?"

"I thought April-Jun didn't care that much."

"..."

"The Hyuga clan is specifically responsible for the investigation in the direction of Kirigakure. You also know that it takes a considerable amount of Byakugan to know the other party's arrangements. She was recalled by the clan."

After being recalled by the family and going to the front line to perform such a dangerous reconnaissance mission, Orochimaru, why don't you stop him a little bit? !

"I mean, you obviously know..."

"what do you know?"

"Forget it... I need your support regarding this mission in Hidden Mist Village."

"Oh?!" Seeing that Qingshui was serious and seemed to have something important, Orochimaru said seriously, "As long as I can provide it, I will fully support it."

"I want three tails."

"What?" Orochimaru thought he heard wrongly.

"I said you have to lend me the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and I'll take him to the front line."

"Then return it to Kirigakure Village."
