Naruto: Son of the Fourth Hokage

In the meeting room, Jiraiya and Yagura Karatachi were chatting happily.

Due to the Land of Water's Kirigakure's confidentiality policies, it had always been in a state similar to isolation, and outsiders knew very little about them.

Yagura Karatachi explaining some of Kirigakure's customs and other things that didn't need to be kept secret was enough to arouse Jiraiya's interest.

And Jiraiya's extensive knowledge of the Shinobi World over the years also broadened Yagura Karatachi's horizons.

So the task, originally named accompanying the Mizukage for a chat but actually a strict surveillance, was forcibly turned into a real chat, and the atmosphere changed from the initial tension to the current harmony.

The rapid change in the situation made Sasuke, who was seriously staring at Zabuza, a little unable to react.

Sasuke knew that Naruto would probably go on a combat mission, and he was also a little eager to try. Zabuza was obviously a good opponent, and Sasuke felt that he wouldn't lose to him now.

Itachi probably guessed his younger brother's thoughts, put his hand on Sasuke's head, calmed Sasuke's restless heart, and his eyes were no longer so sharp.

Zabuza breathed a sigh of relief for no reason. He was not afraid of that Uchiha kid, but he didn't want to have a conflict with Konoha from the bottom of his heart, especially because of a misunderstanding.

He was originally thinking of seeing how Haku was doing after talking about business, but he didn't expect this to happen, so he could only listen to the Mizukage and Jiraiya chatting about the world.

So, when Naruto and Shisui followed Minato back to the conference room, they saw Jiraiya stuffing his proud works to Yagura Karatachi.

The stack of books in Jiraiya's hand made Kakashi's eyes burn with envy. Those were signed collector's editions of the Make-Out Series! He had finally managed to collect them all, not because he couldn't buy them, but because he needed to guard against fire, theft, and his teacher's wife.

Alas, Kakashi sighed inwardly, this world is really too unfriendly to us children who love to study.

...

"Sorry for the wait!" Minato knocked on the door frame to signal his arrival, probably wanting to remind Jiraiya to pay attention to the occasion.

"It's okay, being able to communicate with Senior Jiraiya has also benefited this old man a lot." Yagura didn't feel awkward calling himself 'this old man' in front of Jiraiya.

Anyway, Naruto just wanted to ask if the 'benefited a lot' he said was serious or not.

Next, everyone sat down, and Minato briefly said that the Sky Ninja Village's invasion of Konoha had been defeated, without mentioning the specific details.

But being able to defeat a small ninja village with almost everyone possessing the ability to fly in such a short period of time shocked the Kirigakure group, and they paid more attention to Konoha in their hearts.

After a few compliments, Yagura got to the point: "Although I am ashamed to say it, this old man still wants to ask how the Fourth Hokage knew that this old man was being controlled, and how much do you know about the person who called himself Madara Uchiha?"

After Yagura finished speaking, the bodies of the Kirigakure ninjas couldn't help but tense up. This matter was really embarrassing. Their own Kage had been controlled by Genjutsu for so long, and no one in the entire village had noticed.

It was best to rely on the help of other villages to let the Kirigakure "renegade ninja" come back and join Mei Terumi and Ao to rescue the Mizukage. This matter would probably be laughed at.

Of course, Zabuza was no longer a renegade ninja. His assassination of the Mizukage back then was now reinterpreted as an unsuccessful attempt to save the Mizukage.

Therefore, Zabuza had become the Mizukage's right-hand man and one of the important figures supporting the reform of the Kirigakure village system.

Minato had expected this question from the Kirigakure side. Now, he decided to reveal some information:

"Can you describe the characteristics? I need to confirm if it's the same person I know."

"An orange spiral pattern mask, revealing one Sharingan." Speaking of this, Yagura glanced at Shisui and continued, "Compared with ordinary Sharingan, the pattern of that Sharingan is different, the pupil power is also stronger, and he can use a special space Ninjutsu."

In fact, Shisui Uchiha was also within Kirigakure's suspicion range, after all, he was the famous Shisui of the Body Flicker who was well-known in the battle with Kirigakure.

Of course, when it came to a Sharingan, they first suspected Hatake Kakashi, but Kakashi's Sharingan was in his left eye, and that person's was in his right eye, so they had to rule him out.

Kakashi suddenly heard this news and suddenly had some unrealistic guesses. He looked at Minato with hope. If that was the case, then the change in his left eye would make sense, but controlling the Mizukage...

For a moment, Kakashi didn't know what outcome he should hope for.

This kid hasn't even changed his mask after all these years, huh? But doing these things... even as your teacher, I can't easily forgive you. Minato organized his thoughts and said, "Then it's the same person I know. Actually, this person released the Nine Tails thirteen years ago. I fought him once, and he's definitely not Madara Uchiha."

The Nine Tails incident was also his doing! Kakashi's feelings were extremely complicated, both hoping that his close friend was still alive and unable to believe that he would do such a thing.

Minato noticed Kakashi's reaction. He had been keeping it from him all these years because he was worried Kakashi wouldn't be able to accept it. Now that Kakashi had grown a lot, it was about time to tell him the truth.

Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, as members of the Uchiha clan, knew more. The person who framed the Uchiha clan was actually still alive, and even had the Mangekyo Sharingan!

The two were both angry and grateful. If it weren't for the Fourth Hokage, they didn't know what kind of treatment the Uchiha clan would have received over the years.

Only Sasuke Uchiha knew the least and was still wondering if there were clan members scattered abroad or if someone had stolen the clan's eyes.

"Are there any more detailed information? About his purpose or whereabouts? This is very important to us, please!" Yagura Karatachi earnestly pressed, feeling that not killing that guy would really shame the title of Mizukage.

"That person is with an organization called Akatsuki, which has many dangerous rogue ninjas. They are preparing to capture all the Tailed Beasts and then achieve some kind of purpose. I suspect their headquarters is in Amegakure."

Minato didn't say anything more specific, fearing they wouldn't believe him if he did. The original intention of that terrifying organization engaging in terrorist activities was actually for world peace.

Just the matter of capturing the Tailed Beasts was enough to make Yagura Karatachi vigilant. He himself was the Three Tails Jinchuriki, and there was also a Six Tails Jinchuriki in the village who had run away from home and had not returned. It seemed that he had to find Utakata quickly.

"I am very grateful." Yagura Karatachi thanked him solemnly. This kind of information was considered confidential in any village, yet the Hokage was willing to share it with him.

"In the name of the Fourth Mizukage, I guarantee that if I obtain any information related to the Akatsuki organization in the future, I will also share it with Konoha." Since the Akatsuki organization wanted to capture the Tailed Beasts, then it would be against the Five Great Shinobi Villages. At least on this matter, they could completely form an alliance with Konoha.

－－－－－－Off Topic－－－－－－

The Six Tails Jinchuriki is sometimes called Utakata and sometimes Foam. His attack method is blowing various bubbles. Everyone just needs to know it's him.
