Blood Lord of Konoha

While Ryota and Xia were resting in the temporarily opened cave, Uzumaki Kushina was being carried behind Namikaze Minato and was on her way to being safely sent to Konoha Village.

Kushina, who was in a coma, benefited from the strong physique of the Uzumaki clan and the fact that Ryota fed her some of his own blood before leaving. After a day of rest, her overall complexion improved slightly, and she no longer looked like she was dying before. look.

Namikaze Minato, who was running as fast as possible while keeping a steady pace, felt a slight movement on his back.

For the first time, he turned his head and looked behind him. When he saw Kushina slowly opening her eyes again, she immediately said with joy:

"Kushina, you wake up"

"Minato where are we?"

Kushina, who was not yet fully conscious, looked around and then asked in confusion.

"You were kidnapped by Ryota before, but don't worry, it's all over. I'll take you home now."

Minato quickened his pace slightly and said with a gentle smile in return.

Perhaps because of the bumpy journey, Kushina felt a little heavy in her chest, so she motioned to Minato to put herself down for some air.

Namikaze Minato thought for a while,

Kushina, who had lost her Kyuubi, should not be remembered anymore, so she sent a signal to her companions, Matt Dai and Uchiha Fugaku, who were protecting her one after another, to take a break.

Minato first nodded apologetically to his companion, then helped him down, his legs were so weak that he almost fell, and Kushina slowly walked towards the shade.

After all, stopping to rest at will not only wastes time, but is also very likely to encounter an ambush at such a relatively chaotic border.

If they weren't all highly skilled and daring people, they might not be willing to stop.

Perhaps knowing that her request was a bit unreasonable, Kushina slowly sat down and apologized to Minato:

"Sorry for embarrassing you."

Minato still said in a gentle tone:

"It doesn't matter. Just taking a short break won't have much impact."

Looking at the person in front of her who was worthy of her trust, reliance and entrustment for the rest of her life, Kushina was deeply touched and gently hugged Minato's neck, while bringing him slightly closer to her.

Namikaze Minato was stunned for a moment, then patted Kushina's back, showing a reassuring warm smile and said:

"It's okay, everything is over."

Kushina didn't speak, but rubbed her head against Minato's shoulder.

Compared to the panic and torture of the previous days, Kushina felt extremely relieved at this moment.

After a few minutes, the two slowly separated.

Minato looked at Kushina, who was obviously very thin and haggard, and his heart ached, and he vowed to protect Kushina's safety from now on.

Since this place is not really suitable for chatting and resting, after a while, we set off again.

Several people continued to maintain the previous formation, and Minato once again carried Kushina on his back.

Minato kept his speed steady and asked Kushina:

"Kushina, can you tell me what you have been through these days since you were kidnapped?"

Minato wanted to know how Kushina survived when the nine tails were stripped away from her body. He was almost desperate in the past few days.

Kushina nodded and responded softly, then told most of her experiences these days and what she knew. Including that his own memory had been tampered with, that Black Zetsu and Madara were the murderers of their Uzumaki clan, that Ryota was coerced by Black Zetsu, and other information were revealed.

Of course, only the secret of the cooperation agreement between her and Ryota was deliberately concealed.

Kushina told all this. Minato listened very seriously. At the same time, even Matt Dai, who was not far away, was shocked and speechless by the incredible truth. Even the speed of the three of them was also slow. Consciously slowed down a lot

In this way, several days passed, and several people finally returned to Konoha Village safely.

Kushina was immediately summoned by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Namikaze Minato went to the Hokage Building as an escort.

At this moment, all the top leaders of Konoha gathered together, just to get the information they wanted from Kushina.

After Kushina repeated what she had told Minato on the way before, the entire Hokage's office was silent.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had mixed feelings in his heart, with guilt, regret, anger and other emotions welling up in his heart.

At the same time, he glared hard at Danzo Shimura, the accomplice who had tampered with his order and pushed Ryota to the opposite side of Konoha Village.

Since Hiruzen had severely punished Shimura Danzo at that time, it is somewhat inappropriate to use such an interface to attack Shimura Danzo now.

Thinking that the two of them were once part of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama Guards, and that the other had made great contributions to the Leaf Village many times over the years, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only forcefully swallow his breath.

After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen tried to calm down and comforted Kushina:

"This time I put you in danger. As the Hokage of the village, I must say sorry to you."

"But don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future. You don't need to worry about the loss of the Kyuubi, just leave it to us."

"Besides, it's getting late, so let Minato take you back to rest."

After all, Kushina is also a ninja of the Uzumaki clan and has an alliance contract with Konoha to regenerate. In addition, the last Jinchuriki Uzumaki Mito-sama was the wife of the first Hokage. It is inevitable that Sarutobi Hiruzen will be polite when speaking to Kushina. a bit.

After getting the signal from Sarutobi Hiruzen, Minato pulled Kushina, who seemed to have something to say, to leave, while not forgetting to close the door of the office.

Next is the time for discussion among Konoha's top brass, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Mito Kadoen, and Koharu Koharu.

"So, Hiruzen, do you have any good plans regarding the loss of the Kyuubi?"

Watching Kushina leave, Shimura Danzo, who had been acting as a statue the whole time and remained silent, finally asked.

As soon as he said this, Mito Kadoen and Koharu Koharu also looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen as the Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that this was Shimura Danzo's way of diverting attention, but as the Hokage who made the decision, he also had to give an answer. After a brief silence, he said:

"Let's try to ask Ryota for the Kyuubi first. If necessary, we can try to use force to seize it."

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, in fact, even he himself understood that this was simply impossible.

Ryota now has a deep grudge against Konoha Village. This is something that everyone can see. Even if Hiruzen lets go of Konoha Village, Ryota may not be willing to return.

Coupled with Ryota's current terrifying strength, if he really wants to leave, no one may be able to stop him.

Before figuring out how to deal with Ryota's affairs, it would be difficult to snatch the Kyuubi back from Ryota's hands, whether through negotiation or force.

The high-level officials of Konoha present were all smart people. They heard that Sarutobi Hiruzen's answer was obviously unfeasible, so Danzo Shimura made a devilishly tempting suggestion:

"There is basically no hope of recapturing the Nine-Tails now. Leaving aside the fact that Ryota himself is missing, even if Ryota is found, the manpower we send out may not be his opponent."

"Since this road doesn't work, why don't we try to follow his example and rob jinchūriki from other villages?"

"I remember that the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Kumogakure Village was active on a battlefield with our Konoha Village. I remember that he seemed to be a weird guy named Kirabi."
