In the Hokage building, Mito Kadeni and Koharu, who are senior advisors to the Hokage, are sitting in the office, processing documents.
Hanzo's crazy move to declare war on the Kingdom of Wind caused most of Konoha's energy to focus on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain.
"Hanzo, this guy is really not to be underestimated!" After reading the battle report about the Kingdom of Rain in his hand, Mito Kadoyan put down the document in his hand with great emotion.
"Yan, what happened?" Xiaochun, who was in charge of logistics work, raised his head and asked curiously.
"Hanzo repelled the first wave of attacks launched by Sunagakure! According to intelligence, Sunagakure suffered considerable losses." Mito Monobu adjusted his glasses and said aloud.
"Has Sunagakure been repelled?" Koharu was a little surprised when he heard that Sunagakure Village from the Country of Wind, which was also one of the five major countries, was repelled by Hanzo from the Country of Rain.
"Hanzo summoned the psychic beast Sanshouyu and released poisonous gas to repel Sunagakure."
"Use poison! It seems that Chiyo has met his match." As a female ninja of the same era, Koharu was very happy that Sunagakure and Chiyo were defeated, with a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.
"With Chiyo's methods, Hanzo's poison should be broken soon. Sunagakure's defeat is only temporary." As the adviser to the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kadoen made his own judgment.
Nodding in agreement with Mito Kadoyan's judgment, Koharu changed the subject and expressed his deeper worries.
"Compared to Hanzo from the Country of Rain, I'm more worried about the Country of Thunder."
"The Land of Thunder!" I recalled in my mind that the third generation Raikage, who had the strongest physical fitness in the ninja world and had the titles of "Strongest Shield" and "Strongest Spear", was Mito Monen's There was also a hint of worry in his tone.
"The Raikage and Kumogakure are our real enemies!" Mito Kadoyan said seriously.
"Kizaru's kid is still young, so I can't let him go alone against Kumogakure's ninjas." Koharu said with worry on his face when he went to bed.
"Don't worry, Koharu! I'm keeping an eye on the border information at all times, and there's nothing going on over there for the time being." Mito Kadoyan said with relief.
"That's all it can do." After saying that, Xiaochun turned to bed and lowered his head again and began to review the statistics on logistics reserves in his hand.
"Report!"
Just as the two stopped communicating, the wooden door of the office was opened by an ANBU ninja.
Looking at each other, Mito Kadoyan said: "Speak quickly!"
"A team came back from the border to report that the Third Raikage led the ninja troops and launched an attack on us."
"What?"
"Does Hokage-sama know?"
Mito Kado and Koharu stood up excitedly in an instant.
"Hokage-sama asked me to inform you two to gather in the conference room."
"We'll go right away!"
As he spoke, Mito Kadoyan and Koharu, who was transferred to the dormitory, hurriedly walked out from behind the desk and prepared to rush to the conference room.
........
"Then please, little brother!" Kizaru put his hands in his pockets and said to Kakuzu in front of him.
"Don't worry!" Kakuzu replied coldly, standing next to the Third Raikage who had his chakra sealed and his injuries simply bandaged.
Compared to the calm Kakuzu, Hinata Changyasu's expression was not very good.
"Kizaru-sama, you'd better escort the Raikage back to the village with us!" Hinata Nagayasu advised as he looked at Kizaru.
"Don't you believe in my strength? A ninja from the Hyuga family?" Kakuzu has long been dissatisfied with Hinata Changyasu who has been disrupting his business.
If he hadn't known that Hinata Nagayasu was a ninja from the Hyuga branch, Kakuzu would have dug out his eyes and exchanged them for money.
"The matter is so important that we have to be cautious!" Facing Kakuzu, who was just a bounty ninja, Hinata Changyasu changed his expression and said seriously.
Kakuzu ignored Hinata Choyasu and looked directly at Kizaru.
"Uncle Changkang has no reward on the black market." Kizaru replied.
"I know, that's why he is still alive." Kakuzu replied coldly.
Hinata Changyasu:? ? ?
Looking at Kizaru and then at Kakuzu with a cold face, Hinata Nagayasu felt a little uneasy for no reason.
"Don't worry, Uncle Changkang! This mission is very simple. Uncle Raikage will be very cooperative."
As he spoke, Kizaru looked at the Third Raikage and continued, "Really? Uncle?"
"I have never broken my promise to anyone!" the Third Raikage said proudly.
"As expected of Lord Raikage!" Kizaru said with a smile and looked at Hinata Choyasu.
Seeing that Raikage had said this, Hinata Nagayasu had nothing to say. He could only nod and said: "I understand, Kizaru-sama!"
"Then I leave it to you, please!" Kizaru said with a smile, waving to the three people in front of him.
Keeping a smile, Kizaru watched the three people and a ninja team leave the border stronghold and go to the towns near the stronghold to start the "Thunder Shadow in the Land of Fire" traveling exhibition.
As for why Kizaru didn't consciously follow the team on tour?
The reason is very simple. This kind of pretense reaps fame. It is not as good as others to brag about themselves.
Moreover, the nationwide tour was too troublesome, so Kizaru planned to return to the village early and continue his fishing life.
"Xiao Matata, it's time for us to set off!" Standing in the open space in front of the stronghold, Kizaru shouted to Matata who was lying on the railing outside the wooden house.
"Asshole, remove the fine print for me!" Erwei stood up and growled dissatisfiedly.
"How terrible!"
"Speak to me, you bastard!"
With another roar of filial piety, Erwei walked up to Kizaru and raised his head.
Understanding what Matsuri meant, Kizaru bent down and stretched out his hand to pick it up in his arms.
"Hmph!" After being held in Kizaru's arms, Mataru pretended to be unhappy, then adjusted his position and lay down comfortably.
With Yulu in his arms, Kizaru couldn't move in elemental form, so he could only use the improved moon step combined with the teleportation technique.
Kizaru, who could not transform into light and fly, traveled much slower, and it took him most of a day to return from the border to the outskirts of Konoha Village.
Mataburi, who had been hugged for a long time, stood on Kizaru's shoulders and followed Kizaru to the gate of Konoha Village.
"Oh ho ho! I'm finally home." Standing at the gate, Kizaru put his hands in his pockets and said happily.
"Kizaru, why are you back? How is it over at the border?" The two ninjas guarding the gate saw Kizaru, who was very tall and heavy, and one of them asked hurriedly.
As the guarding ninjas at the gate of a village, the two of them are not too weak in strength. They are both elites among the chuunin. If they join forces to fight against the enemy, they can even deal with the jounin.
"The border issues have been resolved." Kizaru replied with a smile.
Looking at each other, the two people who saw the border team returning in the morning guessed that there might be a war on the border near the Kingdom of Thunder.
Now that Kizaru suddenly came back and said that the matter was resolved, the two of them only thought of two possibilities. One was that Kizaru was afraid of running away and was lying now; the other was that Kizaru persuaded the ninjas of Yunyin Village to retreat.
"Kizaru, didn't Kumogakure attack us? Do you have any information to bring back?"
"Kumogakure! The ninjas over there are as strong as monsters!" Kizaru touched his chin and said in retrospect, "Especially the Third Raikage, he is a monster among monsters!"
"Did you fight with them?"
"We had a little exchange!" Kizaru replied with a smile.
"They retreated?"
"After my friendly communication, they retreated." Kizaru continued to answer.
After some questions and answers, the two of them felt in awe of Kizaru!
Alone, he managed to repel Kumogakure's attack and avoid a war! Kizaru is indeed the super genius in the village!
Looking at Kizaru with reverence, one of the ninjas noticed the two tails standing on Kizaru's shoulders.
"Kizaru, you...who is the cat on your shoulder?" As a perceptive ninja, this ninja sensed very powerful chakra from the blue flame cat on Kizaru's shoulder.
Turning his head to look over his shoulder, Kizaru raised his hand and touched the head of Matata, who raised his chest and raised his head proudly, and started asking questions casually.
"It! It's a gift from Kumogakure, the two-tailed beast!"
"Oh! Two-tailed tail... tail!" Halfway through, the ninja finally reacted, and the hand pointing at Kizaru's shoulder began to tremble, "Is this a tailed beast?"
Nodding, Kizaru smiled and said, "It's so cute!"
"Asshole, who do you think is cute?" Matori said dissatisfiedly after hearing Kizaru's description of him.
The two gatekeeper ninjas standing in front of Kizaru were shocked and speechless.
You describe tailed beasts as cute, right?
At this moment, the two experienced elite chuunin felt numb.
They had been guarding the gate for seven or eight years, and this was the first time they had seen someone bring an unsealed tailed beast back to the village.
What a long time to see you!
