Naruto: The secret in the wood escape barrier

After returning home that day, Minato informed Naruto that Xiao Jing was recuperating in Konoha Hospital, and then hurried back to the Hokage Tower to handle matters.

Thinking of Xiao Jing's life-saving rescue and the ruined birthday party, Naruto was in a bad mood, so today, he took the birthday cake Kushina made yesterday and went to the hospital with his mother, hoping to make amends with Xiao Jing a birthday.

But as soon as he explained his intention to the medical ninja at the information desk at the door, he was immediately rejected.

"I'm sorry, there is an order from above that visitors are prohibited from visiting Hatake Jing's ward."

"Why?" Naruto was confused: "Sister, you heard me wrong, he is just a kid about the same age as me."

"That's right, it is said that this is the child who is prohibited from visiting." The medical nin looked at Naruto and replied affirmatively.

"Um...did you hear it wrong?" Kushina asked her in disbelief.

"If you don't believe it, just go upstairs to room 303. You will understand after you go there." After the medical ninja said this, he ignored them and went about his own business.

"Mom, what's going on?" Naruto asked Kushina on the way upstairs.

"I don't know. Could it be that what happened after you left that day?"

"But when dad came back that day, he didn't mention anything special?"

While the two of them were still guessing, they had already reached the third floor of the hospital. The situation in front of them made them understand the meaning of the words of the medical ninja below.

There are two ANBU guarding the door of Ward 303, and there is an ANBU standing at the entrance of the stairs on both sides of the corridor.

"What are you here for?" The ANBU at the entrance of the stairs saw Kushina and her son coming up and blocked their way with their hands.

"We are here to visit the patient." Kushina explained: "Excuse me, what happened here?"

"There are people under surveillance here. Please leave immediately." The ANBU briefly replied and issued an expulsion order for them.

"We came to see such a big kid," Kushina pointed to Naruto to the ANBU: "How could such a young child be the subject of surveillance? Are you mistaken?"

"This is an order from the top. I can't say more. I hope you understand. Please leave." The ANBU reiterated its stance.

Kushina looked at Ward 303, which was very close at hand, and sighed helplessly: "Is it okay if I take a look at him from the outside?"

"I'm sorry, please understand." Anbu still rejected her.

"Why?" Naruto was still a child after all, and this series of ruthless rejections made him start to think wildly and worry about Xiao Jing's safety: "Won't he have been beaten by you-"

"Naruto!" Kushina called him hastily.

Naruto was stunned by his mother's sudden roar and was too frightened to speak.

"I'm so sorry for causing you trouble." Kushina put on a smile, bowed to the ANBU, then took Naruto's little hand and turned to go downstairs.

Naruto wanted to say something else, but seeing that Kushina had already decided to go, he had no choice but to follow him downstairs.

"Mom, what's going on?" Naruto asked in confusion.

Kushina didn't answer.

It wasn't until the two of them were far away that Kushina knelt down, looked straight at Naruto and said, "Let's ask Minato first. Before that, don't mention this matter to anyone."

Naruto nodded obediently. He knew that this matter might be beyond his understanding, so now he just had to do what his mother said.
