When the Daimyo of the Land of Fire fell on the bed, he fell into a deep sleep almost instantly. After seeing that the Daimyo had fallen asleep, the servants also retreated from the room one by one and stood outside the door, slowly waiting for their master to call them.
At the moment, Watergate was already standing with the guard leader of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Watergate made a gesture to invite the guard leader to sit beside him. Originally, the guard leader's heart was still a little nervous, after all, in terms of status, Watergate, the Fourth Hokage is at the same level as the Daimyo. For most people, Minato was a living legend, and such a legend suddenly invited him, who was only a little famous, to sit with him. The Guard Leader was so excited that words couldn't describe his feelings at this moment.
But in the face of Minato's amiable smile, the nervousness in the guard leader's heart slowly subsided. The guard leader plucked up his courage and sat opposite to Watergate, then said to Watergate cautiously.
"Hokage-Sama … Do you have any orders?"
Hearing the rather nervous words of the guard leader, Minato smiled amiably at the guard leader and said, "That's right."
"It's nothing, you don't have to be nervous. To put it bluntly, you and I are actually both warriors, it's just that the direction of our development is not the same. But as a warrior, that kind of straightforward heart is the same. The reason why I called you over is not to question or criticize you, but simply to ask your Daimyo what he experienced. What did you guys go through? "
Watergate's words were very sincere, he didn't mean to put on airs at all, the guard leader sitting opposite to Watergate was very comfortable listening to him. Under the deliberate guidance of Watergate, his thoughts gradually immersed in the almost endless attacks he experienced in the past period of time.
The guard leader slowly spoke to Watergate about the battles he experienced as the leader of the Daimyo's guards, but the more he listened, the more Watergate felt the matter was strange. As a ninja, Watergate was very clear that if a ninja really wants to kill or capture his mission target, he will stop at nothing. Hiding his true identity, sneaking in, drugging, assassination are all common things for a ninja.
But listening to the description of the guard leader, it seems that all the members of Akatsuki organization who have been attacking the Daimyo of the Land of Fire during this period of time, almost all of them directly fought with the guards. And it seems after the battle, the attackers from Akatsuki organization even directly wore the Akatsuki organization's trademark black uniform with red clouds, they didn't pursue killing a few people, only pursuing how bloody and terrible the scene was.
Such a method of action was truly strange to the extreme.
"… and the strangest thing is, except for the first time we defeated the enemy and left the enemy's head, every time after we killed the enemy, the enemy's body was very strange and directly integrated into the soil and disappeared …"
Originally, Watergate was just quietly listening to the guard leader retelling the events that happened during this period of time, but suddenly Watergate heard such a sentence. Watergate immediately ended his long silence and said to the guard leader:
"Wait! You mean you left the enemy's head? Can you let me take a look … "
Hearing Watergate's words, although the guard leader was a little confused, he nodded and said to Watergate:
"Of course, I will bring you the enemy's head that we have kept. To be honest, this person's appearance is really strange, although I have seen a lot of strange things, but the appearance of this enemy is really strange. "
After that, the guard leader walked towards the place where the guards were stationed outside. After a while, the guard leader came in with a box. Putting the enemy's head in the box in front of Watergate, the guard leader opened the box for Watergate. Watergate looked at the wooden box, and the enemy's face appeared in front of Watergate.
Watergate had a very systematic understanding of the composition of the members of Akatsuki organization, so he naturally knew this person with a strange face, because this person's appearance was exactly the same as the half black half white Zetsu in the information, the only difference was that this Zetsu's whole face was white, without any black part.
"Zetsu?"
Hearing Watergate suddenly call out such a name, the guard leader was a little surprised.
"Hokage-sama, do you know this person?"
Watergate nodded, then said to the guard leader:
"Indeed, this person was actually mentioned in the information collected by Wood leaf. However, it doesn't match the physical characteristics in our data. I'm not sure what's going on now. I don't know if I can take this head temporarily and give it to the people of our Ninja Village to study? "
Hearing Watergate's inquiry, in fact, the guard leader wanted to directly agree. But after all, such a thing involves the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, so the guard leader couldn't immediately respond to Watergate's inquiry at the moment. Obviously, Watergate also saw the entanglement in the guard leader's heart at the moment, and quickly reacted and said to the guard leader:
"Of course, this is not a matter of a short time, it's not too late to talk about these things after His Majesty has rested."
Hearing Watergate's words, the guard leader's face, which was originally very entangled, became slightly better.
"I still have a lot of things to deal with, please protect His Majesty. After His Majesty has rested, inform me to come and discuss with His Majesty. "
Watergate looked at the guard leader and said to him, and the guard leader also understood and respectfully saluted Watergate:
"That's natural, please rest assured Hokage-sama."
Looking at the guard leader, Watergate smiled and directly walked out of this exquisite courtyard specially prepared for the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
Watergate didn't rush to his office, instead, he slowly walked on the street of Wood leaf and began to think about the Akatsuki's current behavior. In fact, not only the Land of Fire's Daimyo, several other villages also sent their country's Daimyo to Wood leaf, and the Akatsuki was very deliberately, almost provocatively attacked them.
What's the benefit of such behavior? Watergate couldn't understand it for a while, because this will only make the countries more united against a common enemy, and the Akatsuki didn't seem to have the slightest benefit!
