Half a year passed by in a hurry.
Whoosh!
In front of Watergate's house, three figures suddenly appeared.
Two of them were naturally Watergate and Shinna Kushina, and the other one was Hyuga Hiashi of the Hyuga Clan.
He is now also a Wood Leaf Chunin, and it seems that his father, Hyuga Tenki, has submitted an application to Sandaime Naruto for him to be promoted to Tokubetsu Jonin.
At the age of fourteen, it is still a bit early for him to apply, but compared to someone else, a fourteen-year-old Tokubetsu Jonin is nothing.
"Shinna Kushina, Hiashi, you go back and rest, I will report the mission to Naruto -sama." Watergate smiled and suddenly disappeared.
"Goodbye, Shinna Kushina." Hiashi said and left Watergate's courtyard.
Shinna Kushina turned around, took out the key to open the door, and walked into Watergate's house.
...
Naruto's office.
"You are as fast as ever …" Seeing Watergate coming to report the mission, Sandaime couldn't help but smile.
In the past six months, Shinna Kushina has not been idle for a moment, and constantly asked Naruto to accept various missions.
With Watergate's Flying Thunder God Jutsu, the speed of the two's missions can be said to be incomparably fast, whether it is escorting merchants to other countries or transmitting confidential documents.
The two can always complete the mission in one or two days, so the number of missions on their ninja profile has been increasing.
The most missions are of course C-level, B-level and A-level missions are relatively difficult, but they have completed nearly ten missions.
"I understand." Watergate reported the whole process of the mission to Sandaime, the former of course handled it very well.
After Watergate finished reporting the progress of the mission, Sandaime-sama's expression gradually changed, and he said, "For the time being, you don't have to accompany Shinna Kushina on missions. I have a mission for you."
Noticing the change in Sandaime's expression, Watergate realized the seriousness of the matter.
"What kind of mission is it?" Watergate turned serious and asked.
Sandaime's eyes sank as he said, "I want you to sneak into the Mist Village to collect information."
"Mist Village!?"
Hearing this, Watergate's face changed. Since the beginning of the Second Shinobi World War, one of the members of the five major ninja countries didn't do anything during the war.
Even after the war, the Mist Village closed all connections with other ninja villages, and the Water Country even blocked the coastline of their territory, strictly controlling all personnel entering their territory.
Wood Leaf's higher-ups were aware of the Mist's abnormalities.
Watergate knew that the Mist Village was closed because of some kind of reform in the country. As a result, the Mist Village entered a quite dark era.
The Mist Village in this era was called the Land of the Blood Mist. Before his death, the Mist Village had always been in this state.
The so-called reform measures were actually the reform of the ninja training system.
It was said that in their training system, the graduation exam every year was a fight between the same batch of ninja.
What's more, they killed all their opponents.
During the Third Shinobi World War, the Seven Legendary Ninja Swordsmen were the result of this system.
This cruel system can undoubtedly cultivate powerful ninjas, but Watergate didn't agree with this method at all.
Because this method is devoid of humanity, although ninjas are accompanied by killing, they are definitely not tools that only kill.
Sandaime nodded and said: "In the past few years, the village has sent several experts who are good at disguising themselves and collecting information, but they didn't even get to the Mist Village before they died."
Watergate nodded solemnly. After all, the Mist Village is one of the five major ninja villages, and now it's completely closed to the outside world. It's not easy to sneak in and collect information.
"Some time ago, the village sent another person to carry out this mission, and he finally succeeded in sneaking into the Mist Village."
Sandaime said: "According to the information he sent back, the Mist Village seems to be in chaos, and the Sandaime Mizukage hasn't appeared in the Mist Village for a long time."
Hearing this information, Minato's brows gradually knitted together.
Sandaime was also angry and said: "But after he sent back this information, he lost contact with the village. It's been more than two months, and his identity should be exposed."
He stared at Watergate in front of him and smiled: "You have made the mission to sneak into the Sand Village, and you were one of the participants, so I think this mission will be carried out by you."
"I want you to collect as much information as possible about the Third Mizukage. You have the Flying Thunder God technique. If you have enough information, your identity might be exposed. If you encounter an irresistible danger, you can directly withdraw."
"I've thought about it for a long time, and only you are qualified for this task." The third generation leader sighed. The village had undoubtedly lost a lot of intelligence gathering elites because of this matter.
At present, Minato was the only person who could collect information while ensuring that he could escape unscathed.
"Yes!"
Watergate heard this and said: "But can you give me the information about the Wood Leaf Ninja who sneaked into the Mist Village? I want to try to contact him."
Sandaime was startled by his proposal. It's been two months, and there's no news, so he's sure that they've been exposed.
In this situation, Watergate still held a slim hope to save his companions.
Understanding Minato's mood, Sandaime couldn't help but smile, then took out a ninja file from his desk and handed it to Minato.
Minato took it and pondered for a moment before saying: "Hokage-Sama, I still need three days to prepare for it."
"Everything is up to you." Sandaime didn't hesitate to reply. Infiltration is very risky, not to mention the other party is the Mist Village, so it's reasonable that Watergate needs some time to prepare.
At the same time, in the Land of Water.
In the darkness, a bloody corpse was lying on the ground, and there was a bloodstained forehead protector on his chest.
The mark on the forehead protector was impressively the Wood Leaf Clan's logo.
"Oh, it seems that the Wood Leaf Clan's people aren't trash, they hid for a long time before being discovered. Sandaime Naruto Sarutobi, you're really worthy of being the successor of the two brothers." The old man's laughter sounded in the darkness with a burst of chill.
"The Wood Leaf Clan's people should give up now."
In the darkness, there seemed to be a plant that looked like a pitcher plant, and the voice seemed to be coming from the ground.
"No … Next, my plan will begin, the Wood Leaf Clan will continue to send people to infiltrate, and this time, the candidate will only be that kid …"
The old man's laughter sounded again, he raised his eyes, and the three tomoe slowly rotated in his scarlet pupils.
"Is it Watergate Clan's people? That kid is getting more and more troublesome, he's now strong enough to fight with the Wood Leaf Clan's people. "The voice sounded again from the ground.
The old man in the darkness heard this and smiled.
"So … His potential threat is already great enough. Next, we should eliminate him to prevent future troubles!"
