If that's the case, then everything makes sense.
His doubts during the Shinobi Trial, Mikoto's change, and Sarutobi's injury.
All of this started from the Shinobi Trial.
Although this is just Watergate's guess, and there's no evidence, but through many clues, he's more than 70% sure that this is the case.
Otherwise, Mikoto's eyes wouldn't have that look of rejection after killing someone, and Sarutobi's right leg wouldn't have suffered an incurable injury.
These factors, if they were all in the village, it's absolutely impossible to achieve.
But now, the only thing he can't figure out is the reason why the village leaders did this.
If it's just to see their ability, the Shinobi Trial is obviously enough.
It's really a bit difficult to let these students who have no ninja experience and young ninjas go out of the village to perform tasks.
It's even possible that … some of them will be killed by the enemy during the mission.
Sarutobi is an example, with his strength at that time, he was left with a permanent leg injury, then others …
Tomorrow is the day of the Shinobi School, and he has to confirm something …
...
"Mito-san, thank you, I'm leaving."
After completing today's class, Shinna Kushina said very obediently, and then left under the guidance of her master.
After she left, Mito, who still had a smile on her face, began to cough violently, and for a moment, her pupils became vertical, which was extremely strange.
But that appearance was fleeting, and it was suppressed by Mito. Even so, the gloomy and cold feeling that permeated the room just now made the maids around me keep quiet out of fear.
"Go and find Sandaime Naruto." Mito ordered, and a guard flashed out.
...
Ten minutes later, Sandaime Naruto came to Mito's room, and when he stepped through the door, he frowned slightly.
This was because he felt an extremely cold aura in the air.
Immediately, Sandaime's pupils shrank, and he quickly came to Mito's bed.
"Mito-sama … you." Sandaime looked at Mito's face, which was getting more and more haggard, but he couldn't do anything.
Mito opened her eyes and said: "Little Monkey, you feel it … Nine Tails' Chakra."
Sandaime nodded.
"My day is coming, I was almost killed by Nine Tails' Chakra, I … can't suppress it anymore." Mito's words were hurried, but her voice was extremely weak.
The Kyuubi's counterattack just now, she once again consumed her remaining chakra and vitality to suppress it.
Sandaime clenched his fie, although he knew that it would come sooner or later, he was still unwilling to accept it.
"Tomorrow, Nine Tails, Jinchuriki's, is the second Nine Tails's Jinchuriki!"
Kushina becoming the Kyuubi's Jinchuriki meant that Mito's life was coming to an end.
"Well! I'll arrange it. "Sandaime nodded heavily. However, in order to maintain the balance of the tailed beasts, this step was inevitable.
...
Watergate came to the Ninja Academy very early, but today, he didn't go to his class first, but hid somewhere high, observing a class of a certain grade.
When he saw Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Hizashi, Nara Shikaku, and the others coming to class as usual, he calmed down a little.
Fortunately, nothing happened to everyone.
When Watergate returned to the class, it was almost time for class.
"You came so late, how strange." As soon as he entered the class, Chi Ban Yu, who was in the front row, teased him.
The two had some conflicts in the beginning, but it was long over because of the Ninja Trial, and their relationship was quite good.
Minato chuckled. His gaze swept across the room and paused.
Because at this time, Shinna Kushina hasn't come to class.
Watergate's seat and Shinna Kushina's seat were not too far away. When the former returned to his seat, Mikoto looked at Watergate and said with a smile, "You and Shinna Kushina didn't make an appointment to be late, did you?"
Watergate smiled awkwardly at Mikoto's teasing, in his impression, it was the first time Mikoto joked with him like this.
Later, Cheng Tamoto sensei came to class as usual, but he didn't seem to feel anything strange about Shinna Kushina's absence.
At the same time …
"Mito grandma, there's still class today, what can I do for you?"
Shinna Kushina said before entering Mito's room. When she really entered the room, she was shocked by the people in the room.
Her expression suddenly became a little vigilant, because these people were very strange to her.
Shinna Kushina's eyes fell on a figure in the middle, not because of his appearance, but because of his clothes.
Red and white long sleeved robe, and that face, Shinna Kushina seemed to have seen it before.
"Sandaime Naruto?" She was shocked, the man in front of her was one of the three faces engraved on Naruto Rock.
Although Shinna Kushina was brought to Wood Leaf by Sandaime's order, the two have never seen each other.
Sandaime looked at Kushina with a slightly complicated expression. He didn't know how to face the girl in front of him when he had to put the burden on her.
"You are Uzumaki Shinna Kushina, right?" Next to Sandaime, Danzo looked down at Shinna Kushina with an indifferent expression, his eyes didn't change.
His eyes also aroused Shinna Kushina's disgust.
"Shinna Kushina, come to me." At this time, Mito called from the big bed. Shinna Kushina heard this and immediately rushed over.
When she saw Mito's face at this moment, her small face suddenly became anxious, and said: "Grandma Mito, what happened to you?"
Compared to last night, Mito's face was paler, and more importantly, Shinna Kushina perceived that Mito's breath was extremely weak.
At this moment, she was like a candle swaying in the wind, about to go out at any time.
And that also means that her life has come to an end.
Mito raised her trembling hand and stroked Shinna Kushina's cheek, and said: "Grandma is dying."
Shinna Kushina heard this, her mind suddenly became blank, and then, the sour mood spread to her heart, eyes, and the tip of her nose.
"Don't leave me …" Shinna Kushina's voice was choked, and tears suddenly fell from her eyes.
It's not the first time she experienced separation.
That's why Shinna Kushina can understand how painful it is.
"People will die, you don't have to be so sad." Mito said with a smile, and slowly wiped Shinna Kushina's tears.
But Shinna Kushina couldn't control her emotions, for more than half a year, she has already regarded Mito as a family member.
They are both from the Uzumaki clan, and it's not easy for them to meet here after the fall of their homeland.
"You don't listen to Grandma's words?" Mito said with a trembling voice.
"No." Shinna Kushina shook her head, trying not to cry.
Mito looked at Shinna Kushina's sad face, and her heart was in a mess, her lips squirmed, and said:
"Shinna Kushina, can you promise Grandma one thing?"
Shinna Kushina immediately nodded hard.
"Well, can you … continue to protect the Wood Leaf Ninja Village for me?"
Mito stared at Shinna Kushina with her old eyes, and said solemnly. The latter heard this and was stunned.
