The first person to receive this news was, of course, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
Whether as a Hokage or as a husband.
Everything concerning Uzumaki Kushina is closely related to him.
He was so shocked that Minato Namikaze couldn't even hold the pen in his hand for a moment.
"What?"
It wasn't that he was hard of hearing, but the news was so shocking that he thought he had heard it wrongly.
After all, so many years have passed, even though he has always believed that a miracle will happen.
"Kushina is saved!"
Jiraiya, who came to deliver the news, looked excited.
As a teacher, he certainly hopes that his students can live a happy and fulfilling life.
Especially when he, as a disciple, shoulders too much and has to face many unavoidable things.
We should cherish even the smallest bit of good news, let alone such great news?
"Really?"
Namikaze Minato stood up quickly.
In fact, Kushina's condition was not improving. After all, they found other members of the Uzumaki clan.
It was just similar to Ugetsu, because he was unconscious and couldn't actively mobilize chakra. So even if the other party had a special physique, the effect on Kushina was very limited.
In addition, she had been in a coma for so many years, and her mind and body were severely damaged. It was impossible for her to get well all at once.
But compared to the ignorance and insensitivity in the past, Minato Namikaze was already very happy that his eyelids and fingers could now occasionally give some responses.
He and Naruto had both thought that this would be an even longer wait.
Although Minato Namikaze didn't care and continued to wait.
But Kushina would definitely want to wake up earlier and witness Naruto's growth in person.
"Where did this news come from? Is it reliable?"
He asked questions rapidly.
"Ah, it's from Ms. Ugetsuki... It seems that there are many famous doctors and medical ninjas gathered there to tackle difficult and complicated diseases."
"I heard there is a treatment plan..."
"So when are we going?"
For the first time in his life after becoming Hokage, Minato Namikaze put his responsibilities as Hokage second.
"Well, he said he could leave at any time."
At this point, Jiraiya suddenly thought of the notice in the letter asking him to go there as well.
In fact, even if there was no news, he was still planning to go - after all, this was a major event in the student's life, and he, as a teacher, must be present.
But then again, why did the letter specifically ask me to go along?
It's really strange.jpg
The answer to this question is actually quite clear.
Of course, he should be asked to work.
As teammates, they share the title of 'Three Ninjas'.
Of course we have to share the joys and sorrows together.
Tsunade herself was in pain and happy every day, and was tired like a dog. Of course, it was impossible for her to let Jiraiya go at this time.
Especially since the other party is someone who has mastered magical arts like my grandfather.
Then this is a ready-made person who can distract Grandpa's attention...ah, she means someone who can discuss with Grandpa the medical uses of fairy arts.
Although there is no blood relationship, the friendship between them over the years is so deep that they are no different from brothers.
We share happiness and difficulties.jpg
Even I am amazed at that guy's resilience. I believe that if it were him, there would be no problem.
At this time, it was Jiraiya who was still unaware of the sinister intentions of his 'old teammate'.
Still on the road with a relaxed and happy mood.
The harmonious and prosperous scenes along the way made him feel relieved and happy.
Who could have imagined that a few years ago, there were few people on these roads on weekdays?
Even if you occasionally meet three or five pedestrians, most of them look nervous and come and go in a hurry.
It will not be like it is now, where everyone sits in a clean and safe means of transportation, chatting and laughing while discussing the next itinerary or the local cultural characteristics of the place they are going to.
Jiraiya closed his eyes.
The moon crisis is resolved.
The first and second generations also seemed to have made arrangements with Miss Yu Yue.
The ninja world has once again gained peace... Just thinking of this, he felt that the whole world seemed to become a little brighter.
The mountains are so clear and the water is so beautiful.
Ah, the world is so beautiful.
My future life will surely be rosy!
Jiraiya thought so and even listened to the discussion of the people around him, thinking about what he should do next.
Whether it is visiting izakayas or red-light districts, or going sightseeing, it is full of fun.
It's fun.
However, Jiraiya's smile only lasted until the moment he saw Tsunade.
"Oh! Tsunade, come pick me up!"
Seeing Tsunade standing in front of him, Jiraiya was even a little flattered.
"Hey, hey, with our relationship, there's no need to be so polite..."
Jiraiya walked towards Tsunade, but before he could finish his words, Tsunade grabbed his collar and turned back to shout:
"Grandpa! I brought the person to you!"
Jiraiya: The smile gradually disappears.jpg
I always feel that something is going to go wrong.
And as if his ominous premonition was coming true, a familiar yet unfamiliar person rushed towards him from behind.
"Where is it?"
The man looked around as he spoke, and his eyes finally fell on Jiraiya in front of him.
"Oh, that's you."
Senju Hashirama smiled brilliantly.
"The kid who is good at fairy arts that Xiao Gang mentioned, I heard that you have seen the Insect Combination Insect Mo Immortal? He and I are old friends... You came at the right time."
After he said that, he grabbed Jiraiya's arm without any hesitation.
"Come on, come on, I just had an idea, let's go test it..."
“Wait a minute?”
Before Jiraiya could even come to his senses, he was dragged away.
It was obvious that the person in front of him didn't have any size advantage compared to himself.
But in front of the other party, I felt like I was clamped by an iron clamp and couldn't move. I could only be led forward by him.
"Tsunade? I mean Tsunade???"
However, Tsunade just stood there motionless with a serious expression, watching them leave.
Go, I will remember your sacrifice!
Tsunade thought so, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
finally!
Finally!
You don’t know how she has been spending these days!
Now, someone has finally come to replace me - shouldn't I go have a drink to celebrate?
It is better to do it today than to wait for a day.
Tsunade thought for two seconds and decided to go to the izakaya for a drink.
But I didn't expect that when I turned around, I met another acquaintance.
"Orochimaru..."
Tsunade hasn't seen this old friend for a while.
On one hand, both sides
There is not much overlap between the work direction and project content, and on the other hand it is also due to the previous lunar crisis.
When she thought about the fact that Orochimaru was the one who used the Impure World Reincarnation technique to call back both her grandfather and second grandfather, her mood became even more complicated.
Even if you know intellectually that this is a last resort, when it comes to your loved ones, who can remain unshakable?
"It's me."
Orochimaru replied slowly.
Compared to the past, he didn't look very good, with a skinny body and dark circles under his eyelids.
You can tell at a glance that he stays up late quite a lot.
However, Orochimaru came this time not to complain to her nor to express his apology.
But...
"I heard that you haven't reported on the project during this period."
He just kept urging us to make progress without any emotion at all.
Hearing his words, Tsunade slowly, slowly typed a question mark in her mind.
"Do you know what I've been doing lately!?"
Tsunade couldn't help but raise her voice.
"Of course I do."
Orochimaru nodded indifferently, then tilted his head and asked:
"What's the problem?"
He said puzzledly:
"But that's a new project, what does that have to do with the old project you have?"
"It's true that new projects will take up some energy and time, but for ninjas, isn't multitasking a part of daily life?"
Tsunade: Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
It is true that ninjas often have to do two or even three things at once.
But that's just occasionally, right?
This is your daily routine, don't try to represent all ninjas, okay?
Because she was too shocked, Tsunade couldn't even react immediately.
This gave Orochimaru the opportunity to continue speaking.
"As far as I know, your beauty and body care department hasn't had any new research and development progress for a while. This won't do - now everyone is constantly improving. Tsunade, you are guarding such a good resource as the first generation, how can you not make progress?"
I don't want to make progress???
For a split second, Tsunade seemed to hear the sound of something breaking in her mind.
The sound was so clear that she couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.
However, on the other side, Orochimaru continued to talk to himself.
In fact, as a ninja, Orochimaru doesn’t particularly care whether the new project developed by Tsunade is selling well or not.
He just couldn't bear to see his old teammate in this state.
Regardless of whether he was a former teammate or the person in charge of the R&D direction of the Ugetsu Store, Orochimaru felt that he could not watch Tsunade continue like this.
New projects are important, but past projects are also the result of hard work.
There is no reason to neglect the existing projects just because there are new projects.
You clearly have the ability, but you use excuses like "I have work to do" to get away with it. This is the greatest irresponsibility towards yourself.
It is because of his work experience at the Ugetsu Shop that Orochimaru has become a little gentler in recent years. Otherwise, in the past, he would not care about her and Jiraiya's life or death as long as it was not related to the mission.
However, Tsunade was not moved at all by this kind of "teammate friendship".
Not only was I not moved, I couldn't even control my hands.
boom!
The fist was swung out fiercely with a sonic boom.
What is hemophobia or not hemophobia.
Tsunade felt indifferent.
Even if Tsunade is scared to death here today, she has to throw this punch!!!
The chaos among the three ninjas came to a temporary end.
On the other side, treatment also began at Uzumaki Kushina's place.
Because Uzumaki Kushina was originally a ninja, and a member of the Uzumaki clan, which is known for its strong physique, her treatment method is much more convenient than Ugetsu's.
To sum it up simply, 'great effort makes miracles happen'.
First she was given an injection of a drug that could stimulate her body's activity.
Then, a huge amount of Wood Release chakra full of vitality was poured in from the Senju Hashirama gate.
Since Uzumaki Kushina lost consciousness because her body was severely injured and she lost too much vitality, they would take advantage of the fact that all kinds of rare treasures are available now to fill her up in one go.
As long as he could mobilize the body's (Uzumaki clan's) originally powerful vitality, opening his eyes would be a matter of minutes.
The only question is when the opponent's body can absorb these forces.
Maybe three to five days, maybe a week or two.
In short, it will definitely be much faster than before.
After a brief explanation, Uzumaki Kushina's treatment began.
The treatment is jointly provided by the world's famous doctor and the strongest medical ninja in the past hundred years, Senju Hashirama. If this luxurious configuration is not enough, there will be no effect.
Then I believe that even if I look for someone else or go to other places, there will be no solution.
While Uzumaki Kushina is being treated, the door.
Uchiha Shisui also found time to find the Fourth Hokage and reported the matter of 'Uchiha Obito'.
“I see.”
The Fourth Hokage had a complicated expression, but strangely, he didn't look very surprised.
"Have you known this long ago?"
If this is the case, then my action would be unnecessary.
The reason why Uchiha Shisui took the initiative to talk to the Fourth Hokage about Uchiha Obito was not only because the other party was the Fourth Hokage's student, but also to prevent the Ugetsu Store and the Uchiha clan from getting into trouble.
To put it bluntly, although Uchiha Madara once caused bloodshed, he died after the Third World War.
From the Third World War to the present, all the things suspected to be the work of Uchiha Madara were instigated by Uchiha Obito.
Even if there was Black Zetsu's deception and inducement.
But it was Uchiha Obito who made the decision and took action.
Then he is the culprit.
If I don't make it clear in advance that I'm cutting off ties with him, I might get into trouble because of him in the future.
Although Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Obito are from the same clan, to be honest, the two are not that close.
This is the most basic kinship.
Compared to outsiders, Uchiha Obito is a blood-related clan member.
But compared to the entire Uchiha clan and Miss Ugetsu, he is an 'outsider'.
An existence that can be sacrificed at any time to protect the people and things that are important to him.
Uchiha Shisui looked at Namikaze Minato quietly, and then saw him shaking his head.
"No, I don't know about that."
The person who came back to report only talked about the situation on the moon and the 'mysterious hooded man', but did not directly reveal the other party's identity, only Uchiha Obito.
But for some reason, Minato Namikaze had a vague premonition in his heart.
After hearing the result, I felt sad, depressed, and guilty, but at the same time, I felt a sense of relief that everything was settled.
"In the final analysis, it was because I failed to protect those two children."
This is the case with Obito and also with Rin.
Even Kakashi...he actually failed to protect this child.
It was his fault as a teacher.
“
No, it’s not the fault of the Fourth Master.”
Uchiha Shisui shook his head.
If you want to blame someone, you can only blame fate, Black Zetsu for being too cunning, or Uchiha Obito for being too mentally fragile.
“You’ve done all you can do.”
Uchiha Shisui said this not out of compliment.
Ninjas are bound to face risks.
Even if you are a teacher, there is no reason for you to stand in front of others and shield them from all dangers of wind and rain all your life.
...It would be better if a ninja really needs someone to do this for him.
It would be better to change careers early and stop being a ninja.
"Thanks."
The blond Fourth Hokage smiled weakly.
Uchiha Shisui's words made him feel better.
but……
Recalling the appearance of Obito in his memory, and then thinking of Kushina who was still unconscious in bed at this moment.
Minato Namikaze felt that it might take him longer than he thought to calm down.
"Don't tell Kakashi about this for now."
After a moment's silence, Namikaze Minato spoke softly.
"I'll find the right time to tell him after a while."
Kakashi, that kid, looks more like a ninja than anyone else.
As long as necessary, he can erase all his emotions and turn himself into a ruthless tool.
But in fact, his heart is more passionate and emotional than most people.
Obito and Rin are his most important companions.
...So he didn't want to cast a shadow on their past relationship in this way.
Whether it was against the Hokage's will or as a teacher, Namikaze Minato was not going to keep this matter secret completely.
But he hoped to tell him at a more appropriate time that would be less likely to affect him.
This is the only way he, as a teacher, can help this student.
After telling the Fourth Hokage about Uchiha Obito's situation, Uchiha Shisui breathed a sigh of relief, as he put his mind at ease.
In this way, at least the ups and downs related to Uchiha Obito will no longer affect Uchiha and Miss Ugetsu.
All that's left is...
Uchiha Shisui stopped and looked out the window on the side of the corridor.
Itachi, where on earth have you been?
Although Ugetsu didn't know about the conversation between Shisui and Namikaze Minato, she was very concerned about the treatment of Uzumaki Kushina, an old employee.
Not only did they organize a special 'medical team' to treat her, they also specially let her stay in a VIP room equipped with various instruments.
The matter of Uzumaki Kushina has always been a regret in Ugetsu's heart.
Apart from the fact that she really was an older sister who took great care of her, it was also because that was one of the very few things she was completely powerless to do since she came into this world.
After all, it involves the mystery of life.
That is not something she can solve by simply adding a few more projects or hiring one or two expert doctors.
Today, it was finally solved in his own hands, and Yu Yue felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Sure enough, I am still very strong.
Now we just have to wait for the treatment result.
Because she was so concerned, Yu Yue even put down the pen in her hand.
She turned her chair and looked out the window.
The sky outside the window is clear, without a trace of haze.
There is no trace of the original moon crisis anymore.
Judging from the report of the construction team, the construction of Otsutsuki Moon Village is also going very smoothly.
The first phase of the project has
This part of the time may be a little longer, but it will not affect the short-term opening of lunar travel.
It is normal that the construction time of the second phase is longer - after all, it is not like the first phase which mainly focused on rebuilding the Otsutsuki village.
The second phase of the project requires restoring the original topography of the moon.
Including mountains, rivers, flowers, plants, trees and the like.
At the same time, according to Yu Yue’s plan, while carrying out restorative reconstruction, some scenic spots and resort facilities that are integrated into the natural scenery should also be added.
This makes the already difficult restoration work even more difficult.
However, Yu Yue believes that the strong and experienced construction team will be able to overcome these minor problems and present a perfect answer to herself and the public.
After all, this is not only Ugetsu's own problem, but also concerns whether the Otsutsuki clan can peacefully integrate into the world... It is a major event involving the entire ninja world.
Come on, construction team.
I believe there will be no problem.
...In comparison, they should quickly hold a meeting to discuss matters related to moon sightseeing.
Is it a group or a free
OK.
What are the specific projects, how to promote them and how to charge them...
Fortunately, Yu Yue now has many capable people under her command, so she doesn't need to worry too much about these things...
Just as Yu Yue was in a daze and organizing the new business of Yu Yue Store in her mind, a person suddenly jumped into Ali from the window.
"...Mr. Jiraiya?"
Noticing the signature thick white hair, Yu Yue raised an eyebrow.
"Shh, shh!"
Jiraiya gestured to keep quiet while looking around for a place to hide.
"Let me hide for a while."
Jiraiya regrets this.
——How could he forget that Tsunade is also the kind of person who would rather die than let her friends die?
He should have run away without looking back the moment he saw Tsunade.
Although he had just arrived not long ago, Jiraiya had already clearly understood the other party's sinister intentions!
Tsunade is simply using herself as a scapegoat!
It’s really abominable!
The reason why Jiraiya could become a drinking partner with Tsunade was because both of them didn't like being bound and didn't like to work hard.
Of course it doesn't mean that they don't work hard, but unlike Orochimaru who regards hard work and rules as a part of his life, they are more unrestrained and free.
Why go to work when you can rest?
Right.
So if Tsunade can't handle something, then Jiraiya will of course be a coward too.
So he took advantage of the time when Hashirama Senju went to treat Kushina and ran away.
Even though the opponent is the God of Ninja, I definitely can't escape.
But... every minute I can hide is a minute better.
"What's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Jiraiya was about to get into the closet, Ugetsu couldn't help but ask.
Her question gave Jiraiya a place to complain.
"Ms. Yu Yue, this is too hard!"
Jiraiya started talking non-stop.
Actually, to be honest, it’s not the case that he can’t hold on... After all, he has just arrived, and even if he can’t hold on, it will be a matter of one or two domains later.
But if you can live a good life, who would want to support yourself?
"When I was learning magic from the Chonghe Chongmo Immortal, it was not this hard!"
"Those insect-merging insects still know..."
Jiraiya continued to talk, but Ugetsu's attention was caught by one peculiar word.
"Chonghe Chongmo... can speak?"
"Of course, they are subordinates of Chonghe Chongmo Immortal—Chonghe Chongmo Immortal has lived for a thousand years."
"His subordinates Chonghe Chongmo may be more knowledgeable than most people nowadays."
Jiraiya said this casually.
But they don’t know that the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
Before he could continue, Yu Yue suddenly spoke:
"In that case, Jiraiya-san doesn't have to work so hard at all."
"Um……?"
Jiraiya blinked when he was interrupted by Ugetsu, and then asked with a look of expectation and joy:
"Miss Yu Yue, do you have a solution?"
Yu Yue nodded, and then said, "If I understand correctly, you mean those subordinates of Chonghe Chongmo Immortal, each of whom is eloquent and proficient in both civil and military affairs... Then you can definitely let them help you work together."
Yu Yue spoke more and more fluently.
"Especially since they are practicing under immortals, they should have their own unique understanding of immortal arts, right?"
"In this case, you can call them all out to help you share the burden. One person has a heavy burden, but if you spread it out and work in a group, wouldn't the pressure accumulated on you also be shared?"
“…”
“…”
"……ha?"
Because Ugetsu's words were so shocking, Jiraiya was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted.
no.
Well...
Jiraiya was stunned.
He originally thought that Miss Ugetsu had let the first generation work for her which was extremely shocking.
And now you tell me.
You didn’t even let the Chonghe Chongmo go???
However, Yu Yue's words were not finished yet.
She had a sincere and earnest smile on her face: "Of course, don't worry, as long as they contribute, I will regard them as partners working for Yuyue Store."
"There will be salary and benefits," she said, patting her chest.
"Don't worry, our Yuyue Store will never limit the species when recruiting talents."
Jiraiya: “…”
Even more terrifying!
I don't know what impact Miss Ugetsu's "no limits" will have on the future.
He only knows today, this moment.
He felt Miss Yu Yue's horror as never before.
Really, very scary!!
