"Oh? You've already discovered it?" Yagura didn't answer directly, but looked at Naruto. "Then I presume this is Uzumaki Naruto, known as the Second Yellow Flash? And also the Nine Tails Jinchuriki."
"That's me. You still haven't answered Kakashi-sensei's question. Why are you, as the Mizukage and a Jinchuriki, here?"
Naruto didn't hide anything. After his information was known by the Raikage, it was basically known by anyone with a bit of status. He couldn't expect him to keep it a secret.
With that hot-tempered old brother's style, if it weren't for a little secretary stopping him, he would have loved to announce Konoha's information to the world, so that everyone in the Shinobi World could help keep it a secret.
Meanwhile, Zabuza, listening to the conversation between the Mizukage and Naruto, felt a mix of emotions. When he was in the Land of Waves, he thought that with a little effort, he could take down this Little Blondie.
Now that he thought about it, he was lucky that he was being beaten down by the three of them. Otherwise, if he had slashed down with his sword, he would probably have cut out a monster. He might not even have been able to keep his whole body intact.
And should he say, as expected of the Fourth Hokage's son, it's only been a year since they last met, and his reputation has almost spread throughout the Shinobi World.
In addition, it is said that in the Underground Exchange, this kid's head is worth 20 million, and that's only because he's only thirteen years old, and many people don't believe he has that kind of strength.
Anyway, Zabuza now has only one thought: it's good to be alive...
Yagura could understand Kakashi and Naruto's questioning. It was indeed inappropriate for a Kage of a village to rashly go to another village. He said frankly, "The reason why I, this old one, am here is that I have some things I want to personally confirm with the Fourth Hokage. There is no malice.
If you are worried, you can first ask the village for instructions. I don't mind waiting here for a while."
Behind Yagura, a ninja didn't understand why he was lowering his posture like this and stepped forward to advise, "Mizukage-sama, you like this..."
Yagura raised a hand and stopped him, saying, "I have my reasons, no need to say more."
"Yes." Perhaps the lingering power of his previous reign of terror was still there, the ninja retreated directly.
Kakashi stared at Yagura seriously for a few seconds and said, "We will contact the village as soon as possible, please wait a moment."
The four walked to a forest on the side, out of sight of the Kirigakure people. Naruto created a Shadow Clone and sent it back to the Hokage Office.
Although they already knew the information, hearing and seeing are two different things. They should avoid it if they can.
At first, Naruto was just going to call, but Kushina wasn't in the village today, so he had the Shadow Clone deliver the message.
Taking advantage of the gap, Naruto chatted with the Nine Tails for a few words. "What's your relationship with Isobu like?"
The Nine Tails propped up his chin and recalled, saying, "So-so, the shell is too hard, it doesn't feel good to fight."
Naruto was helpless. I'm not asking about the feel: "Do you guys have no other way of interacting besides fighting?"
The Nine Tails' tail swayed behind him, and he said listlessly, "How else can we interact? Like you and that Byakugan little girl, feeding each other?"
This Fox Spirit, why is she cueing my wife when we're talking properly: "...Can't you always be fighting?"
The Nine Tails looked at Naruto with disdain: "What qualifications do you have to say such a thing?"
"Why don't I have the qualifications? Look at how many friends I have, did they come from fighting?" The more Naruto thought about it, the more he felt that he had good relationships.
The Nine Tails retorted, "Didn't you and that Sasuke brat fight from childhood to adulthood?"
"..." Naruto was suddenly speechless. It seemed like he had fought a lot when he was a kid.
"And I, this old one, have seen you and that little brat..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Naruto quickly interrupted, almost letting him say something terrible. Only then did he realize that having a best friend who knows all your dark history is such an unfortunate thing.
Naruto decisively changed the subject: "It's meaningless to talk about this, why don't we talk about whether we can grab Isobu's tail, then swing him around, and use his back shell to crack Shukaku's head open."
Nine Tails, upon hearing this, thought the topic was worth exploring. Why hadn't I thought of using Isobu as a weapon before?
...
After chatting for a while, Naruto received the memories transmitted from his Shadow Clone and said to Kakashi, "Dad said we should continue the mission and take them directly to Konoha. He also wants to have a good chat with the Mizukage. It'll take us another day to travel, and he'll get ready."
Minato actually wanted to meet the Kage of other villages as well. He was very curious about the situation in the Land of Water, as it was related to future actions.
If they came for friendly communication, that would be best. But if they had a conspiracy and wanted to cause trouble, Konoha wouldn't be afraid.
The Mizukage's Water Release techniques might not necessarily be stronger than Kushina's and Naruto's, and as for the Three Tails, if he dared to go on a rampage in Konoha, he wouldn't be leaving.
With these words, Kakashi felt even more confident. He walked up to the Mizukage and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. The Hokage really wants to have a good talk with you."
"That would be wonderful." Yagura replied with a smile, thinking to himself, It's only been a few minutes and he's already recovered. Is this the efficiency of information transmission with the Flying Thunder God Technique? Konoha really has gained a remarkable genius.
The Copy Ninja Kakashi in front of me, the Second Hokage's Yellow Flash behind him, Shisui of the Body Flicker, who terrified Kirigakure ninjas in recent years, plus the Fourth Hokage couple who can easily seal the Nine Tails, and the Three Legendary Sannin Jiraiya and Tsunade who have returned to Konoha...
The more Yagura counted, the more alarmed he became. He, an outsider, could name so many strong individuals and geniuses, so there must be even more ninjas who weren't famous yet. Comparing this to Kirigakure's current predicament of having only a few capable people, Yagura felt both self-reproach and heartache. If he hadn't been careless and controlled by someone...
"Then let's set off."
Kakashi's voice interrupted Yagura's thoughts. Yagura waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to follow, and the group headed towards Konoha.
Seeing that the main business was basically finished, Zabuza finally asked the question he was most concerned about: "Haku... is he doing well?"
I've been waiting for you to ask that for a long time. I thought you'd forget about Haku once you returned to the village. Naruto said, "Haku is doing very well. He has good teammates now, and they recently passed the Chunin Exams together. They're having a great time every day."
"Is that so... that's good." Hearing Naruto's answer, the slightly uneasy expression on Zabuza's face turned into relief, but why did his tone seem a little sour?
The ninjas following behind almost dropped their jaws in shock. Was this still the cold-blooded Demon Man?
Only Yagura felt bitter in his heart. He had heard about Haku's situation from Zabuza: a genius Ice Release youth, just given to Konoha like that? And he had formed bonds in Konoha.
Seeing Zabuza like this, he didn't plan to use emotional tactics to persuade Haku to return to the village. My old heart aches so much. Thinking about it, this situation was also caused by me, so I can't blame Zabuza's actions. My heart aches even more...
