16 years old, fourth generation Mizukage

Namikaze Minato opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute something, but immediately, his expression changed into a wry smile, and at the same time he said with a sigh:

"It seems that I have no room for hesitation or choice, Mizukage-sama."

"Choose wisely. After all, it doesn't matter whether you choose or not."

Seeing Namikaze Minato's expression of understanding, Kaguya smiled and stretched out her hand towards it. His complexion recovered a little bit, and his vitality was also barely maintained under the effect of the secret medicine [biscuits] in the vortex that did not increase or decrease. Nai said to this research material who was dying soon:
"So, what do you want, Uzumaki Kushina?"

"Kigakure...is there really a way for me to live?" Uzumaki Kushina couldn't help but hugged Naruto tightly in his arms, his pale face was full of uneasiness and reluctance, "My body is clear to me. It is a bottomless pit that cannot be filled no matter what..."

"It's just saying that it's possible. After all, the method itself hasn't advanced to the point where it can be 100% suitable for everyone." Huiye shook her head, and didn't choose to speak too much, "Luck is not good. If it is good, you will still die, but as long as your luck is not particularly bad, you should be able to extend your lifespan for a few to ten years... Of course, even if you die unfortunately, the necessary rewards will be paid by Kirigakure. It will still be charged to Konoha."

"...You really don't look like a ninja, Kaguya."

Uzumaki Kushina lowered her head, kissed Naruto's forehead tenderly, reluctantly put him on the tidy bed, then raised her head, looked at Namikaze Minato with a complicated expression, and tried hard to reveal a A reassuring smile on his face.

"I will work hard, even if it's just to see you and Naruto again, I will do my best to survive... Until then, Naruto will leave it to you, Minato."

"...you must come back, Kushina."

Namikaze Minato lingered between Naruto and Uzumaki Kushina with extremely complicated eyes, and was silent for a while before finally choking out such farewell words.

"Okay, then I'll take Mrs. Kushina back to Kirigakure for treatment first... Shisui, you, Kisame, and Mitsuki will stay in Konoha to help with the disaster relief, and by the way, help Terumi Mei get out of the situation. First talk to Konoha's negotiation team about the specific compensation for our support of Konoha. I have already told her the general requirements. After the general direction is determined, the next detailed negotiations can be handed over to other people in the village. The team took care of it."

Kaguya Rei explained to Uchiha Shisui, who was listening carefully, his arrangements after returning to the village temporarily, and at the same time used psychic techniques in seal seals. In a haze of smoke, a graceful classical beauty in a palace costume appeared He appeared in the temporary ward with a somewhat helpless expression, and protested to Hui Yeren in a low voice:

"Well, Lord Lian? Although you and the White Snake Immortal have reached some cooperation agreements, you can't treat the three of us as maids whenever something happens? Anyway, I am also from Longdi Cave One of the real immortals..."

"Well, let's say it happened for a reason this time. After all, if you want to transfer a dying patient to Kirigakure through Ryūji Cave, you must rely on a psychic object who is more precise, stable, and peaceful in chakra control as a medium." , you can’t tell me to leave a reliable collaborator like you Tian Xin Shen Ji alone, and instead choose a guy like Ten Thousand Snakes?”

"Even if you praise me so hypocritically, I won't be happy..."

Whispering with Kaguya Rei in a low voice, Tianxin Shenji walked to the side of Uzumaki Kushina who was ready, and took her to Ryūji Cave with reverse psychic technique, while Kaguya After Ye Lian took off the Mizukage hat to Namikaze Minato, he also went to Ryūchi Cave with the technique of reverse psychic, and only left such words when he finally disappeared:
"By the way, in yesterday's battle, although Kyuubi was killed by me, Uchiha Obito, who had assembled a pair of Kaleidoscope Sharingan, did not suffer any fatal injuries. I remember rebuilding Konoha's defensive barrier. When the time comes, add countermeasures against space-time ninjutsu, or he will come back again and again."

Hui Yelian's voice fell, but the hearts of the three remaining people in the ward became heavy because of this disturbing information.

The silent and oppressive atmosphere spread in the ward. After standing awkwardly on three legs for a while, Hatake Kakashi, who was tortured the most and also had the strongest resistance, looked at the silent Namikaze Minato and asked in a low voice. :
"Well, Minato-sensei... You were hesitant before agreeing to the proposal of the Fourth Mizukage, right? Why, you suddenly feel that you can entrust the life and death of Kushina-sama to Kirigakure?"

Hearing this, Minakame couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, then pointed out the window with emotion, signaling Kakashi Hatake to look outside in this direction.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to look away, what Hatake Kakashi saw were the traces of the battle, the ruins of Konoha Village, and the Konoha ninjas who were walking through the ruins, trying to save more companions.

"teacher?"

"Kakashi, Kirigakure helped us solve the fundamental problem of whether Konoha can continue to exist in the ninja world. For those of us who survived, the debt owed to Kirigakure is already huge. There's no end in sight..."

Namikaze Minato withdrew his eyes and fingers, and looked helplessly at Uchiha Shisui who was wearing Kirigakure's forehead guard and carrying the ninja knife that Kirigakure helped him tailor-made for him, and sighed:

"Since the debt itself is already close to infinity, even with the entrustment to help save Kushina, the things that Konoha needs to repay will generally not have any more changes. At most, it is me I need to owe another debt of favor as Uzumaki Kushina's husband in addition to Hokage's identity... I shouldn't make too many mistakes in my guess, Uchiha Shisui?"

"Probably, it is indeed the thinking of the fourth generation."

Uchiha Shisui nodded and agreed with Namikaze Minato's judgment.

"Then, what will Mizukage-sama use this favor for... Can you tell me such information, Shisui?" Namikaze Minato asked softly, looking at Uchiha Shisui's baby face.

"This, I'm not very clear...?"

Gradually, Uchiha Shisui frowned, and his voice gradually decreased.He looked at the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato who was close at hand, and recalled the task that Kaguya Rei gave him before leaving, and the eyes that looked at him with deep meaning, and a feeling slowly rose in his heart A little... absurd guess.

Fourth generation, does he want to take this opportunity to cancel the official arrest of Konoha and the Uchiha clan for himself, the Uchiha traitor?

But, is this really realistic?No matter from which point of view, I belong to Konoha's rebellious ninja, even if I participated in the battle to protect Konoha last night and made a contribution, there is still no way to change the fact that I am already a Kirigakure ninja right?This practice of ignoring the traitors, no matter how you think about it, will have a considerable impact on the existing rules and order of Konoha and the Uchiha clan...

Seeing that Uchiha Shisui fell into a state of self-entanglement and doubt for no reason, Namikaze Minato, who is not a fool, suddenly thought of the rather sensitive identity of the other party, and he touched himself with some helplessness. Burned a lot of hair on the sideburns, and then moved his eyes to the family land of the Uchiha clan, where nearly half of the mansion was preserved.

Fuyue, do you have the same troubles as me now?
