Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

Kaguya Rei found the retreated remnants of Kirigakure in a small village southeast of Mount Kannabu.

Seeing that almost everyone was injured, but all of them showed guilty expressions when looking at him, Kaguya sighed and walked over to the man who was sitting on the side and bandaging himself blankly. Terumi Mei stood next to her and patted her shoulder gently.

"You've won, so don't put too much pressure on yourself, Ming."

"Did you really win, Rei?"

Terumi Mei raised her head and asked with wavering eyes:

"You lost the stronghold on Mount Kanaibu, lost more than half of your companions, and it also affected your record... Can this really be regarded as our victory?"

"Although I lost control of the Kannabu Mountain stronghold, I took a look before I came back. All the buildings and facilities in the stronghold have been corroded to the point that they can no longer be used. Konoha will not be able to continue to use Kannada in a short time. Yanshan has come to stop Kirigakure's advance. Rounding it all off, our original goal of attacking here has barely been achieved..."

"Besides, I barely managed to win the battle with Namikaze Minato and his wife. If I could have come back earlier, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation."

Kaguya Rei did not have the idea of ​​​​passing the responsibility for the failure of his main mission to others, because he knew very well that apart from himself, there was already a difficult relationship between the hard power of Kirigakure's army and Konoha. Huge gap to make up for.

If you want to win everything, the only feasible solution is to quickly and seriously injure Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, knock them both off the battlefield, and then rush back in time before your bone clone is dealt with. On the frontal battlefield, repel all invading Konoha ninjas.

But from the time Orochimaru sneaked up on him without any martial ethics and shot a senjutsu clone of himself in advance, this plan was destined to fail.

Fortunately, Kushina was seriously injured by her "Fake Corpse" blow, which satisfied the requirement in optional mission four to force Konoha to replace the frontline commander with someone else. In the end, the system reluctantly He recognized the fact that optional mission four had been completed before the main mission failed, and issued the cornerstone rune [Power of Time] to himself.

Although it was a bit regretful that he could not get all five cornerstone runes, since he could earn this amount, Kaguya Rei had nothing to regret.

Seeing that Terumi Mei still looked quite remorseful, Kaguya Rei reached out and rubbed the head of this girl who was just in her early thirteenth year but had already begun to shoulder such a heavy burden on the battlefield, using a gentle tone that she was not used to. He said with relief:

"Although I think your personality is not suitable for the kind of person who cries like rain... But if you want to cry now and vent your self-blame and annoyance, I don't mind borrowing it. You can rely on it for a while.”

"Then you can appreciate me crying weakly and helplessly by yourself?" Terumi Mei lowered her head, not wanting her expression at this time to be seen by Kaguya Rei.

"I can close my eyes and turn my back to you." Kaguya Rei said seriously, using her credibility that has been running low in front of Terumi Mei for a long time.

"hypocritical."

"Just tell me whether you want to rely on me or not."

"……want."

Terumi Mei dissatisfied and gently pushed Kaguya Rei's lower back with her elbow, then moved her position, not caring that her beautiful and smooth hair would be stained with blood that was difficult to wash, and sat back to back with him, and then He hugged his knees with his hands, his body trembling slightly.

Hehe, he's just a brat with an upright mouth.

Kaguya Rei sneered in her heart, and then slowly closed her eyes like Terumi Mei, breathing slowly and taking a nap.

He was also a little tired.

…

At the same time, Konoha.

"Lord Minato, your injury has not fully healed yet. Please return to your room and rest as soon as possible. Once the results are available, we will come and notify you as soon as possible."

Outside the intensive care unit of Konoha Hospital, a young medical ninja was constantly persuading Namikaze Minato, who was waiting here, to let him, who was still bleeding from the wound on his side, return to the ward to recover peacefully, but as always Namikaze Minato was very obedient, but he shook his head firmly and stood unwaveringly outside the door of the emergency room, waiting for the results inside.

Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, the young medical ninja had no choice but to let Namikaze Minato sit down on the chair, and he used Palm Senjutsu to treat his wounds.

I don’t know how long it will take.

The door to the emergency room was finally opened.

Seeing Uzumaki Kushina being slowly pushed out by several senior medical ninjas, Namikaze Minato rushed over immediately and looked at his pale wife with worry.

"How is Kushina's injury? Is it stable, Haruto?"

"For the time being, it is considered stable, but subsequent treatment will be difficult."

One of the medical ninjas responsible for the rescue took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes that were blurry due to excessive chakra consumption, and sighed:

"Kushina-sama's injury is very strange. The bone spear that penetrated her abdomen seems to contain some very special chakra that can hinder the healing of the wound. After we pulled out the bone spear, the remaining The special chakra began to compete with Kushina-sama's own recovery ability."

"We relied on a large amount of chakra investment to barely help Kushina-sama's chakra gain the upper hand, but if we want to completely drive away those foreign chakras, we can only rely on Kushina-sama's own strength to control the chakra." Before the chakra is completely driven out, a medical ninja needs to stay by her side to ensure that her wounds do not suddenly worsen."

"I'm sorry, it's because we don't have enough ability, Minato-sama."

"No, don't say that. You have all tried your best. It was me who made Kushina become like this... ugh!"

Namikaze Minato covered the wound on his waist and breathed heavily. Looking at the scene where Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina were both injured, Yamanaka Haruto, who had treated both of them, couldn't help but have a look on his face. He had a rather worried look on his face.

Minato-sama, who was invincible and invincible in the war with Kumogakure and Iwagakure, was actually injured like this... Could it be that this time, Konoha is really going to suffer a humiliating defeat at the hands of Kirigakure? ?

If that kind of thing really happened, Iwagakure and Kumogakure, who had finally settled down before, and Sunagakure, who seemed to just want to protect themselves, would immediately smell the smell and try to get it from Konoha. Just bite off a piece of meat...

Lord Sandaime, Lord Orochimaru, and Lord Jiraiya... please think of a solution.

"Hey, Haruto..." Namikaze Minato took a breath, looked up at Yamanaka Haruto, and asked unsteadily: "If Tsunade-sama is brought back, can she bring Kushin back?" Can Nai be cured?"

"Tsunade-sama...?"

Yamanaka Haruto thought for a while and gave an answer that lifted Minato Namikaze's spirit:

"If it was Tsunade-hime among the three ninjas, she would definitely be able to find a way, right? Even if she can't recover Kushina-sama right away, she can at least come up with some treatment plans that are more advanced than ours to help. Kushina-sama shortened her recovery period."

"I'm going to ask the Third Generation about Lady Tsunade's whereabouts right now—"

"Stop! Minato, you are still a wounded person yourself! I order you to rest peacefully in the hospital for at least half a month! Come back! Namikaze Minato!!!"

I'm in good condition today. There will be another update before twelve o'clock.

The third update, if there is one, will be at six o'clock tomorrow morning
