"What?"
After hearing the news, Watergate's eyes suddenly shrank, and Shinna Kushina was also shocked.
They had seen the battle between Sarutobi and Nobunaga, and both of them were undoubtedly geniuses, and in the future, they would definitely become strong.
However, Surou just told them that Sarutobi was no longer a ninja.
"Why?"
Before Watergate could ask, Shinna Kushina couldn't help but ask. In her opinion, becoming a ninja was a lifelong decision, and there was no turning back.
For this reason, they didn't make any assumptions. In their impression, Sarutobi was a strong-willed senpai.
Even the battle between him and Nobunaga was still fresh in their minds.
That was a real battle in the name of ninja.
Surou didn't answer Shinna Kushina's question, she looked at Watergate and said: "You should know that some things are confidential, and can't be casually disclosed, right?"
"You!"
Shinna Kushina naturally knew the rules of being a ninja, so even if she was angry, she knew that it was impossible to get an answer from them.
She immediately turned around, then pulled Watergate's arm and said: "Since you don't want to tell me, then I will go and ask the person involved."
In Shinna Kushina's perception, Sarutobi wasn't far away from them.
Her violent reaction was beyond their expectations. Only Watergate, who knew Shinna Kushina well enough, knew why.
Whoosh!
Nobunaga flashed in front of Shinna Kushina.
"You can't go!" Nobunaga's words were firm.
Shinna Kushina's face changed again, and she said: "Get out of my way!"
In the next moment, Shinna Kushina's speed skyrocketed, exceeding Nobunaga's expectations. He didn't expect that in just half a year, this little girl's strength would grow so much.
Seeing that she was about to reach the entrance of the alley, it was too late to stop her. Nobunaga immediately used the Body Flicker Technique and appeared behind Shinna Kushina. He stretched out his hand and grabbed her shoulder.
Shinna Kushina was also wary of his movements, and she was ready to hit Nobunaga's hand.
"Stop!"
At this moment, Watergate suddenly appeared between the two, his hands grabbing Nobunaga and Shinna Kushina respectively.
"So fast!"
Although Surou had seen Watergate's speed, she still couldn't help but exclaim.
Minato was teleported when both Kushina and Nobunaga made their moves. At that moment, all that was left in her eyes was an illusion of golden light.
She couldn't see his movements at all.
Compared to the time in the Shinobi Trial, Watergate's speed has obviously improved a lot.
He's almost comparable to their sensei.
Seeing that the person who came was Watergate, the anger on Shinna Kushina's face subsided a little, and Watergate took advantage of her anger to pull her back from the alley and let go of them.
"Nobunaga senpai, I apologize for Shinna Kushina's recklessness." Watergate looked at Nobunaga and said.
"It's okay, what I did just now was wrong …" Nobunaga naturally wouldn't stick to these things. Instead, he looked at Watergate with a little surprise in his eyes.
It seems that in the past six months, Watergate hasn't been standing still.
It's just that his pace is a little too fast.
Watergate smiled, then looked at Shinna Kushina and said, "Obeying orders is the essence of ninja, you should also know this, right?"
In front of him, Shinna Kushina's chilly personality automatically disappeared.
She lowered her head slightly, then nodded.
"I was wrong." Shinna Kushina pouted.
Watergate smiled and said, "I don't mean to blame you, and I believe that Nobunaga senpai doesn't mean either. It's just that even if we ask clearly about this matter, it's meaningless. If I'm not wrong, it will only hurt Sarutobi senpai."
Although Shinna Kushina still didn't quite understand the meaning of Watergate's words, out of trust in him, she naturally didn't doubt him.
Nobunaga and Surou were startled when they heard this. The former didn't get much useful information from them, but what he said was right.
Watergate, this guy, seems to be extremely sensitive from the beginning.
"Okay, let's not waste any more time, the flower shop is about to close." Watergate smiled.
Shinna Kushina reacted and said, "Yes, I haven't finished shopping yet."
She became a little anxious and added a very strange ending to her words.
"Two senpai, today's matter is abrupt, we won't bother Sarutobi senpai anymore, see you another day."
Watergate said goodbye to Nobunaga and Surou, then he was directly pulled away by the anxious Shinna Kushina.
"Boom!"
After they left, Nobunaga punched the wall on the side of the alley. The force made the wall crack.
"It's all my fault, if that guy didn't want to save me, he wouldn't have become like this." Nobunaga's face was dignified, he punched the wall again and again. Subconsciously, he didn't protect himself, blood dripped from his fist.
Surou stood behind him, frowning slightly. However, she knew that with Nobunaga's character, if he didn't think it through himself, it would be useless to persuade him.
...
The sky gradually darkened, Watergate sent Shinna Kushina back to her residence, his originally smiling face instantly became solemn.
...
For the next two days, Watergate wandered the streets of Wood Leaf, finally, at dusk, he found the person he was looking for.
Sarutobi Senpai.
Watergate hid in the dark and observed for a while, after confirming that Nobunaga and the others weren't there today, he began to observe.
"His right leg …"
After observing for a while, Watergate's face gradually began to become shocked, because he finally realized that the unnaturalness he saw from Sarutobi's body came from his right leg.
As a ninja, the coordination of the limbs is naturally much better than ordinary people, even if injured, it can be seen that he is different from ordinary people.
After that, Watergate came to a conclusion.
Sarutobi's right leg is disabled.
This is the reason why he can no longer be a ninja, because ninjas represent efficient action, so there are so many people who come to the ninja village to entrust tasks.
His right leg is crippled, so he can no longer perform tasks as a ninja, even if it's the most basic task, it's impossible.
"Ninja trial …"
Gradually, some of the doubts that lingered in Watergate's heart gradually connected together.
After the Ninja trial, he and Uchiha Yan participated in the Tang no Guk mission, and after returning from the Tang no Guk, Mikoto also began to become strange.
The look in her eyes, how could Watergate not notice it, it was the rejection of killing that he also had.
Sarutobi's right leg didn't seem to be injured recently, it was at least three or four months ago.
"Could it be that after the Ninja trial, there were more people who were sent to perform tasks than me and Uchiha Yan?"
These thoughts were all connected together, and Watergate came to this conclusion.
"The so-called Ninja Trial is just an elimination selection for us Genin and freshmen?"
