The Red Moon of Konoha

Chapter 175 I Won't Miss It
Naruto Building.

meeting room.

Konoha's high-level executives gathered together, Nara Shikahisa, Hinata Hinata, Yamanaka Kaiichi, Yume Shiwei... Fugaku who walked in the door took a look and gasped. How could this be the same as last time because of the dragon? There were about the same number of people when the tree gathered.

His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, just after Fuyue arrived, Minato brought Shisui into the door not long after.

"The roots found the whereabouts of Uchiha Ryuki in the Land of Wind."

The first sentence after entering the door made Fuyue's face completely dark.

Sure enough, it's Nagarjuna... noticing the pitiful gazes from all around, Fuyue's heart felt like a haggard tree.

"Kingdom of Wind? Where did Uchiha Ryuki go?" Hinata Hizuru frowned.

"I don't know, the people in the roots have collected information, saying that Uchiha Ryukyu has entered and exited the Lunu Desert in the southeast of the Wind Country many times in the past month. Just a day ago, the intelligence personnel of Zab Oasis confirmed Uchiha again. Nagarjuna once again entered the Lunu Desert."

Zhishui said.

Since the establishment of the root, there has not been a serious chief. It has always been under the leadership of Minato himself, and several deputy chiefs such as Yamanaka Yinling and Uchiha Shisui are in charge of daily affairs.

But everyone can see that Zhishui should be the future head of the roots cultivated by Minato. As long as Zhishui is a little older and has more senior qualifications, the first head of the roots must be the stuff of Zhishui's bag— — as long as he survives until then and doesn't make a big mistake along the way.

"The Lunu Desert is a special white desert in the southeast of the Land of Winds, and this Zab Oasis is the only place to go to and from the Lunu Desert. Because we found out that Uchiha Ryuki entered and exited the Lunu Desert, we arranged The root operators are monitoring at Zab Oasis." Zhishui first introduced the situation.

"Then, it was confirmed yesterday that Uchiha Tatsuki appeared, accompanied by several attendants wearing white hooded trench coats... Although he did not see Uchiha Tatsuki's face, the perception ninja in charge of monitoring confirmed that it was Uchiha Dragon tree is correct, they all recognize Uchiha Dragon tree's Chakra."

Because of the existence of transfiguration.

Recognizing people by face is not safe.

The white eyes of the Hyuga family and the Sharingan of the Uchiha family can see through the transformation technique, but there are only so many of these two tribes. Therefore, the safest way to identify it is to perceive Chakra. Everyone's Chakra has subtle differences. , the average ninja may not be able to tell the difference.

But to the perception ninja, that subtle difference is as bright as a candle in the dark night.

So in another time and space, Orochimaru used the [face-writing technique] to peel off the face of the deceased, and also used the remaining Chakra of the deceased to cover up his own chakra fluctuations, so that he could pretend to be the fourth Kazekage and sneak into the third generation.

And Bai Jue's [Barter Change] is even more powerful. You don't need to kill people, just absorb a little chakra, and you can achieve a perfect change that neither Bai Yan nor Sharingan can see through, which has brought huge damage to the ninja coalition.

"Desert? Is there anything in the desert that attracts Uchiha Ryuki?"

Confusion was written all over Yamanaka Hai's face.

"Who knows?"

Sunshine shook his head.

"This is the first time I've heard of this place in the Lunu Desert. Hai Yi, doesn't the Ministry of Intelligence have any records of this place?" He asked back.

"No, it's also the first time I know there is a white desert."

Yamanaka Haiyi shook his head with a wry smile.

The intelligence department has its own independent intelligence force, but compared to the root and dark forces, the three melons and two dates of the intelligence department are out-and-out younger brothers.

For example, Uchiha Ryuki appeared in the land of the wind, the hellish Lunu desert, and the intelligence department didn't know anything.

"No! I'm still wondering if there is something special about this place..." Hinata Hyuzu looked at Fuyue, "Chief Fuyue, do you have any records in your clan?"

"No."

Fuyue was expressionless, and he denied it with certainty like a wooden man without emotion: "I have read all the documents in the family. Well, it has nothing to do with the desert of the Kingdom of Wind, our family has been active in the center of the continent since ancient times, and we have never been to such a remote and desolate place as the Kingdom of Wind."

Younv Zhiwei sat still, giving full play to the ability of the Younv clan to disappear, acting as a transparent person.

"Hokage-sama, what should we do next?" Hinata Hyuzu couldn't help but cast his gaze on Minato.

Minato sat on the main seat and listened quietly for a long time, until Hizuru asked.

He looked around at everyone, including Younv Zhiwei. He tapped on the table with his fingers and said softly, "Everyone, get ready. We will go to the Land of Wind, Lunu Desert."

There was thunder on the flat ground, and the birds were completely silent.

Everyone was silent.

Including Lu Jiu, everyone was shocked.

"You... You said you were going to the land of the wind? This will anger Sand Shinobi!" Lu Jiu felt a little dizzy.

"Sand Shinobi doesn't have the courage to turn against us now. At most, they come to me to protest and strive for some benefits. In contrast, Uchiha Nagari is the most troubled person. It is hard to determine his whereabouts. This time, we must not Miss this opportunity." Minato said in a deep voice.

"But, it's not convenient for Master Kushina to fight now?" Lu Jiu tactfully put forward his opinion.

As a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina is now pregnant and has no way to fight on the battlefield, which is tantamount to losing a big killer.

"The timing is indeed not coincidental, but nothing is perfect in this world, and the opportunity should not be missed."

Minato's resolve was unwavering.

"...Could this be a trap?" Younv Zhiwei suddenly interjected at this moment.

"It's possible!"

Minato nodded, without denying, "But I would rather take a certain risk to go to the desert to fight Uchiha Nagari than to fight Uchiha Nagari in the village."

This passage speaks volumes.

His determination was evident.

"I understand. The Uchiha clan will do their best to support this operation. I can recruit ten experienced jounin." Fu Yue was the first to stand up, expressing his attitude, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he took out most of them family property.

Of course, the Uchiha family does not lack Jonin.

But the experienced jonin that Fu Yue said are all good players who can fight against the crowd with one hand, and such masters are also one of the few in the Uchiha clan.

This is a bloody waste.

But everyone understands that if they were Fuyue, they might not necessarily bleed so much, but it would definitely cost some money.

After all, this time the enemy is Uchiha Ryuki!
"The Hyuga Clan also supports the action." Hyuga Hyuzu also spoke.

Even though he is not so willing in his heart, Hokage-sama is right. Rather than waiting for Uchiha Ryukyu to attack Konoha later, it is better to transfer the battlefield outside the village, and since they have already agreed to support the operation, then behave Be more enthusiastic, no matter how Uchiha can't be compared, "The Hyuga Clan can also provide ten elite jounin."

After Fuyue expressed his opinion, he pretended to be a wooden man.

The Hyuga family has been competing with the Uchiha for the title of the No. [-] family in Konoha, but when did the Uchiha ever compete with the Hyuga family?Some things are not just something you can take away if you want to.

With the Uchiha and Hyuga families taking the lead.

Next, the rest of the people also expressed their opinions one after another.

"The Nara clan also supports it."

"The Shanzhong clan also supports it, and the Qiudao clan also supports it."

Under Lujiu's gesture, Yamanaka Kaiichi also expressed his opinion on behalf of the Akimichi clan who were not present.

Integrate internal opinion.

Minato continued: "Everyone's intentions are very good, but... this operation doesn't need so many people! Lu Jiu, you stay in the village to preside over the overall situation, Fuyue, Rizu, Zhiwei, Shisui, You act together with me, and don’t want any extra people.”

This time, everyone was stunned again.

Just a few people?
Is it too little?
Is this going to deliver food to the monster Uchiha Tatsuki?
"Master Hokage, this is too..."

"There are a lot of people, including the five of me, not a lot at all. It is useless to deal with Uchiha Nagarjuna. It is better to operate with fewer people, and my Flying Thunder God Art can't bring so many people. And , we have other reinforcements." Minato no longer gave anyone a chance to object, and set the tone directly, "That's it, disband now, and gather on the roof of the building in half an hour."

The voice fell.

A yellow light flashed, and Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave.

Lu Jiu smiled wryly and patted his head.

Looking at the people who flew away, he and Hai Yamanaka looked at each other, and then heaved a long sigh.

I hope this operation goes well.

----

Wave home.

There are two cribs of the same style side by side in the baby room, one is blue and the other is pink.

A blond-haired baby was lying on the blue crib, and a brown-haired baby was lying on the pink crib. Kushina, with her big belly, was sitting on the rocking chair next to her, knitting a scarf for Minato. The original one Already a bit old.

"Watergate?"

The hand weaving the scarf paused slightly, and she sensed the water gate that appeared at home.

Two seconds later, the light-handed water door entered the baby's room.

"Minato, what's the matter? You came back so early today? Even if it's the New Year, you shouldn't be off work right now?" Kushina looked at Minato suspiciously.

"There is an urgent task, I need to go out, and I will tell you when I come back." Minato said with a smile, as if he was saying that he was going out to get some soy sauce.

But Kushina was not deceived.

"Leave the village? What mission requires you, Hokage, to do it yourself?"

Kushina put down the half-woven scarf in her hand, and looked at Minato worriedly.

"It's okay, with my ability, who can hurt me..." Minato looked at Kushina's firm eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It was Uchiha Ryuki who found him in the Land of Winds I'm going to take people there."

"Uchiha Ryuki? He..."

Jiu Xinna tensed her face, she looked down at her stomach, and felt for the first time that the child came at the wrong time.

It was clearly Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but it didn't work at all.

"Kushinna, don't worry, I'm not going alone, Jiraiya-sensei will go with me, there are Nikzu, Fujigaku, Shisui, there are so many people! Even if you can't catch Uchiha Nagaru, It’s okay to get out of the way.”

Minato comforted Kushina in a low voice.

"..."

Kushina was completely out of the mood for weaving a scarf, and said bitterly: "If I had known that Uchiha Ryuki was such a white-eyed wolf, Minato, you shouldn't have saved him on the battlefield."

Minato smiled wryly.

At that time, I never thought it would become what it is now.

At this time, there was a humming sound from the crib.

Minato quickly walked to the side of the crib, glanced at the two children lying on the bed, turned around and whispered: "It's okay, it's Xiaoying who is grinding her teeth."

Xiaoying.

The child on the pink crib is the successor of the forbidden art of the earth spider clan, the granddaughter of the previous generation's patriarch, Ying Zhiying, the earth spider Ying.

As for why the soil spider Yingying is here...

In August, Minato visited the soil spider family with Kushina, who was already pregnant. As a witness, he witnessed the inheritance of the forbidden technique passed down from generation to generation by the soil spider family. Walker found Minato and his wife, hoping they could help take care of the soil spider Yingying.

Yakuza Xingzhe himself died not long after passing down the forbidden art, but Yingying's mother died of dystocia during childbirth. He died unexpectedly, so that Yakuzawa could only pass on the forbidden art to Yingying, a soil spider who was only less than one year old.

The accidental death of his son made the old man full of distrust for his clansmen. Compared with some clansmen in the family, Yakunojo trusted Konoha’s very famous Fourth Hokage. He and Minato acted together during World War III However, he admired Minato's character very much.

In the end, Minato and Kushina failed to refuse the entrustment of the retired traveler, and brought the soil spider Hotaru back to Konoha.

That's how it became what it is now.

When the child in Jiu Xinnai's womb is born, there will be three children in this family.

"Kusina, don't worry, I promise I'll be back soon."

After comforting his wife, Minato hugged Naruto and Hotaru again, and then walked out of the nursery and went back to the bedroom.

He took off the white Hokage robe embroidered with the words "Fourth Hokage" and put on a dark green vest. He checked the ninja tools in the ninja tool bag, opened the drawer and took out two small scrolls. into the vest pocket.

Wait until everything is ready.

Minato took a deep look at the wedding photos hanging on the wall, and then disappeared.

----

Uchiha's house.

There are similar plays with minor differences.

After comforting his wife, Fu Yue came to the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, looked at the familiar face and strange pupils in the mirror, and sighed softly.

This time, maybe I really have to work hard...

He closed his eyes.

Opening his eyes again, his jet-black pupils reflected himself in the mirror.

Another place in the tribe.

After Zhishui added water to the crows, he put the key of the house on the branch of the big tree at the door.

This is for the ferret, so that the boy can take care of the crow.

There is also a letter with the key, he promised Itachi to teach him to practice the teleportation technique this afternoon, but it may be difficult to catch up with the current situation.

At this time, it is not easy to disturb the patriarch's house.

I can only apologize in the letter.

----

Hyuga home.

He hugged his daughter who was woken up by himself and burst into tears, bid farewell to his wife, and went to see his younger brother Nisai.

Temporarily entrust the daily affairs of the family to take care of them.

He then went to the Hokage Building.

When he came to the roof of the Hokage Building, he found that everyone was there.

Uchiha Fugaku, Yume Shiwei, and Uchiha Shisui were all fully armed and waiting, and Nara Shikahisa and Yamanaka Kaiichi also did not leave.

"Lujiu, where's Hokage-sama?"

Rizu walked to Lu Jiu's side.

"Master Hokage has gone to pick up someone." Lu Jiu replied.

"The pick-up...is the reinforcement you mentioned earlier, right? But who is it? Isn't it in the village?"

"If you think about it, you can think of it! Who else can participate in this operation?"

Lu Jiu rolled his eyes, who is used to this?All of them don't like to use their brains, and always like to come to him to ask for answers.

"Master Jiraiya?"

Nirazu thought for a while, and immediately thought of Jiraiya.

This is Naruto-sama's teacher, and as one of the Sannin, his strength is strong enough... It can be said that he is a well-deserved powerful reinforcement.

However, the next moment.

What appeared in front of everyone was not Jiraiya.

But -

"Your Excellency Xiaonan?"

Lu Jiu widened his eyes.

Looking at Xiao Nan who was dressed in black and wore paper flowers on his temples, Lu Jiu was stunned.

He thought it was Jirai, but he didn't expect it to be Xiaonan... He glanced at Minato, and for some reason, he always felt a little weird in his heart, probably...he was thinking too much !No, he must be thinking too much!
"Are you already here? Wait a minute, I'll pick up Teacher Jilaiya again."

After leaving the words, Minato disappeared again.

"Hello, Mr. Shikajiu."

Xiao Nan nodded to Lu Jiu in return.

Lu Jiu couldn't hold back his curiosity, walked over and asked, "Your Excellency Xiaonan, why did you participate in this operation?"

"revenge."

Xiaonan glanced at the wise man of Konoha Village, "I should have told you last time, right? My companion died at the hands of Uchiha Nagaru... What I want is revenge! "

The corners of Lu Jiu's eyes twitched, it's all because he was thinking about it just now, but he actually forgot about it.

However, revenge... is really a heavy topic that people don't want to talk about!

The messy conjectures were swept into the garbage dump, Lu Jiu looked up at the village covered by falling snow, and sighed.

"Uchiha Ryuki... I hope this operation goes well!"

"hope so!"

Xiao Nan said softly, she walked to the edge of the roof, holding on to the cold railing, looking at the white-capped village, "Is it already winter?"

There is a little envy in her eyes. The Land of Rain has no four seasons, and it is basically rainy all year round. She has never seen snow in the Land of Rain. In comparison, Konoha, which has distinct four seasons, is really good. place.

"Xiao Nan, you're here too!"

Jiraiya's voice came from behind.

She turned around.

I saw Mr. Jiraiya with a complicated expression.

"I won't miss the matter of revenge." Xiao Nan said calmly.
