Although Watergate had already guessed Sandaime-sama's intention, he still pretended to be shocked.
After all, before he recovered his memory, he had been asking Sandaime-sama and Jiraiya -sensei about the identity of Shinna Kushina.
But at that time, he obviously wasn't qualified to know the most important secrets of the village.
Jiraiya -sensei also told him that one day, Sandaime-sama will take the initiative to tell him about this matter. At that time, he meant to wait for Watergate to have enough strength.
It's just that because of the recovery of his memory, Watergate has changed a lot, so this time has increased a lot.
"Shinna Kushina … What is her identity?" Watergate asked with a trembling voice, but in fact, he just wanted to cooperate with Sandaime-sama.
Regarding the Nine Tails and the entire village, Sandaime-sama said with a solemn face.
"Shinna Kushina has an extraordinary significance to the village …" Sandaime-sama said with a solemn face.
However, he didn't immediately explain the identity of Shinna Kushina, but instead said to Watergate. Everything he said next is not only about the safety of the village, but also about the safety of Shinna Kushina.
Watergate naturally responded one by one, showing a very attentive attitude, this is not a pretense, but a real one.
It's just that he was very clear about what Sandaime-sama wanted to say.
Sandaime-sama first told him about the Bijuu, after all, although Watergate's strength is good, his experience in the world of shinobi is still very shallow in Sandaime-sama's view.
From the battle between First Daime-Sama Naruto and Uchiha Madara, to the battle in the Valley of the End, and finally, Mito sealed the Nine Tails in his body and became the Nine Tails Jinchuriki.
"Mito-sama is actually the Jinchuriki of Nine Tails?" Watergate's heart trembled, and then his complexion suddenly changed, and he said, "Mito-sama is dead, then the current Nine Tails Jinchuriki, could it be …"
Although it was something that he already knew, Watergate still had to make a guess. What Sandaime-sama said earlier had nothing to do with Shinna Kushina.
However, Sandaime-sama had told him so much, and based on the fact that Shinna Kushina was heavily protected, it was enough to support Watergate's judgment.
"That's right, Shinna Kushina is the second Nine Tails Jinchuriki!"
Sandaime said in a deep voice. He then stared at Shui Men's expression. The latter's expression was one of shock, but that was not what Sandaime wanted to observe.
Watergate also pretended to be digesting the information, until he pondered for a while, and said with some shock, "No wonder … Shinna Kushina, she …"
But after a moment, Watergate's expression became extremely tangled, and he said, "For this purpose, she was brought to Wood Leaf, this is too unfair for Shinna Kushina!"
Watergate's words were from the bottom of his heart, but he also knew that only the descendants of the Uzumaki clan had the power to suppress the Nine Tails.
In this era, except for Shinna Kushina, Wood Leaf couldn't find any other candidate before Mito's death.
"It is unfair, for the sake of the village, we have to let a little girl bear such a heavy fate …" The Sandaime-sama also sighed, "But, this is Mito-sama's last wish, and also Shinna Kushina's own choice."
Watergate was now of great significance to the village, and the Sandaime-sama also wanted to inform him of this matter clearly, after all, he knew very well how much Watergate cared about Shinna Kushina.
"Since Shinna Kushina loves Wood Leaf so much, I believe that she can bear her own choice, after all, this is all for the sake of the village." Watergate knew the Sandaime-sama's worries, he was afraid that he couldn't figure it out, so he immediately comforted him.
This was Shinna Kushina's own choice, and Watergate would certainly respect her choice.
"You can think of this, hehe." The Sandaime-sama heard this and smiled faintly.
Watergate smiled and said, "This is the agreement between us, if I can protect the village with my life … Shinna Kushina can also do it!"
This was a different way of protecting the village between the two. Although it seemed that Watergate's life was in danger at every moment on the battlefield, it was his own life.
What Shinna Kushina had endured throughout her entire life, and it was incomparable to how many wars he had experienced.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, Watergate was a hero on the battlefield, but Shinna Kushina …
"So, I want to thank you for your contribution to the village." The Sandaime-sama stood up and said solemnly to Watergate.
Watergate was shocked and said, "Naruto -sama, we can't accept this. You have done so much more for the village than we have. Shinna Kushina and I should be the ones thanking you."
The Sandaime-sama smiled and said, "For the village, you are the future, and now, I want to entrust the future to you … entrust it to you."
Watergate was stunned.
"I have told you everything about Shinna Kushina being the Jinchuriki of Nine Tails. I believe you know how to deal with things appropriately, but … I also want to entrust Shinna Kushina's safety to you. I hope you can protect her from harm. She has done so much for the village." The Sandaime-sama stared at Watergate with a solemn expression.
"Even if you didn't ask me to, I would still do it. Not only for the safety of Shinna Kushina, but also for the entire village!"
Watergate's tone was firm. He had once risked his life to protect the village and Shinna Kushina, but Shinna Kushina was dead, and everyone in the village had suffered heavy casualties at the hands of the masked man's Nine Tails.
Dilapidated houses, broken walls, corpses everywhere, and blood stained the ground. That tragic scene was something that Minato would never forget.
This time, he won't let the same thing happen again.
"Then, I entrust it to you!" The Sandaime-sama laughed. He was more and more satisfied with this disciple of his.
...
"I heard that you have been practicing with Sho Sho these days?" After that, the Sandaime-sama began to ask Watergate about the recent situation.
Watergate smiled bitterly and said, "But the gap between me and Sho Sho senpai is too big. He is the one who accompanied me to practice."
"The growth of strength must be done step by step. Only the strength accumulated through continuous practice can be considered as your own, just like the ninjutsu you have developed." The Sandaime-sama taught Watergate. As a ninjutsu doctor, he taught the famous "Wood Leaf Sannin".
"Yes, Watergate will remember it." Watergate replied.
The Sandaime-sama asked, "By the way, is the ninjutsu you have developed fully perfected?" “
He was concerned about Watergate and wanted to give him some pointers.
In terms of ninjutsu, the Sandaime-sama is naturally the number one ninja in the world.
"Well, it is almost perfect."
"If there is anything you need, just let me know." The Sandaime-sama said. For Watergate, the Sandaime-sama wants to train him, so naturally, he will give him some resources.
After all, no matter how talented Watergate is, he is still a commoner.
Hearing the Sandaime-sama's words, Watergate's eyes couldn't help but light up. In fact, he came here today to make some requests to the Sandaime-sama.
"Well, actually … I want to borrow some files from you …"
