Konoha's Destiny Twins

Soon, the Sandaime Hokage imparted all his knowledge to Qingshui, and also informed him of the training methods in detail.

As expected, Hokage is Hokage. In fact, he had asked Kosuke-sensei for similar questions many years ago.

It's just that the other party didn't delve deeply into this issue. Maybe it's because the second generation Hokage didn't teach it?

In the end, before leaving, Shimizu bluntly stated Shisui's problem. He actually wanted to know what the Third Hokage thought of the Uchiha clan.

It's impossible that the Sandaime Hokage didn't know about the genocide of the Uchiha in the original work, right?

According to normal logical deduction, I am afraid that his acquiescence is needed to carry out that kind of massacre.

"It's the request from Shisui, the genius of the Uchiha clan..." The Sandaime Hokage frowned slightly.

Looking at the appearance of the Sandaime Hokage, it seems that something is in trouble?

"Yes, regardless of strength and talent, he is also a very good child. He has a good heart and is an extremely kind and gentle existence among ninjas." Qingshui quickly stopped to gain some impression points.

"...Indeed, Fugaku recently applied to be transferred to the front line of the war against Iwagakure. However, I have seen his application list, and Uchiha Itachi's name is not there."

"Itachi isn't a ninja, so he's not on that list?"

This is easy to understand. That list is a list of ninjas, and Itachi has not yet refined chakra, so he is naturally not a part of the ninja... So this is considered a loophole?

"I will verify his list again." The Sandaime Hokage also gave Qingshui a reassurance, "If this is indeed the case, I will negotiate to resolve the matter."

Indeed, if civilians intervene in a war between ninjas and cause losses, who will bear the blame?

It can only be Naruto!

Therefore, the Sandaime Hokage will naturally take this matter seriously.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama!"

Now that the Sandaime Hokage has said so, Qingshui will no longer have a headache about this matter.

The Sandaime Hokage can't go back on what he promised, right?

Besides, this is just a small thing.

Until one day in November, Shimizu and his 17th Legion were sent to the front line again. Among the people traveling with him were members of the Uchiha Clan led by Uchiha Fugaku, as well as Minato's Third Anbu Legion.

It was also at this time that he confirmed that Uchiha Itachi had indeed not come to the front line. It seemed that the Sandaime Hokage had intervened in the matter.

However, Qingshui and the Uchiha clan were sent to the southern end of the Country of Grass, which borders the Country of Rain; while Minato was transferred to the north of the Country of Grass, which is the border between the Country of Grass and the Country of Taki.

In the past, Konoha only focused on defending the middle road, but now the latest intelligence from the Anbu shows that traces of Iwagakure activities have also been found in the north and south routes of the Land of Grass and the Land of Fire, and there are quite a lot of them!

Therefore, Konoha mobilized forces from various places and mobilized them to the front lines to prepare to resist the invasion of Iwagakure.

After three days of marching, Qingshui came to the front line to report and learned about his mission: to scout a valley at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, the Country of Grass, the Country of Fire, and the Country of Rain, and establish an outpost there to guard against Iwagakure. Invading the Fire Nation along the border.

His 17th Legion suffered heavy losses after the Battle of Platycodon Castle, but new personnel were added to Konoha. Among these new personnel were ninjas with outstanding strength such as Hyuga Rimi and Inohara Tengo.

Speaking of which, when he was recruiting new people, he was indeed a little surprised when he saw the faces of these two people.

But it's good. Who doesn't want his teammates to be more reliable?

Qingshui guarded the valley, waiting until winter came.

The war between ninjas is like this. The process of testing each other and gathering information always takes up the vast majority of the time. And once a full-scale war is launched, the war usually does not drag on for long.

There is a lake near their valley. This lake is quite large and borders the Three Kingdoms.

Because it is located in a valley and is not disturbed by strong winds all year round, this lake is extremely quiet and has the title of "Quiet Lake".

Qingshui only deployed about one-third of his force around the valley, but put more force around the lake. This approach has attracted doubts from some senior ninjas.

Fortunately, for several months, they were all at peace here, so the voices of doubt gradually faded away.

Because it was during the war, it was necessary to maintain a considerable level of chakra, so Shimizu's training was often done to the point without exhausting himself.

However, he hasn't missed a single day of training on his chakra control skills, and now that it has just snowed, it's time to test his results!

The Sandaime Hokage once told him that as long as he can run at high speed on the snow and leave shallower footprints, it means that his chakra control skills have improved to the next level.

After just a few months of results, the footprints don’t seem to be much lighter than before?

This... Although he knows his talent, this kind of talent is too unbearable.

"Senior, are you practicing your chakra control skills?" Suddenly, Satomi's voice came from the side.

Qing Shui didn't shy away from it, because there was nothing shameful about it: "Yes, this is my shortcoming."

Then he subconsciously glanced in the direction where Meimei came from, and saw the endless white snow... neat and clean!

Did this fly here? !

Why are there no footprints? !

Satomi seemed to see Shimizu's doubts and explained: "Because of the Byakugan, our Hyuga clan can distribute and control chakra extremely accurately..."

I know, I know, the blood inheritance limit is just...

"I've been practicing for a few months...but I haven't made any progress. Can you see where there is something wrong with me?" Qingshui once again left a few footprints on the snow and asked.

Eyes open!

"Senior, the flow of your chakra is not smooth enough."

"What's the meaning?"

"It seems that there is another force affecting the flow of senior's chakra, so it creates a sense of sluggishness... I think this is the reason why you haven't improved for several months, senior?"

"Another force?" Qing Shui was confused.

"Yes..." Satomi's white eyes observed carefully, and she confirmed, "It's very weak, but it does exist. When the senior wants to accurately extract and distribute chakra, it will affect the original chakra in the senior's body. run."

Qing Shui was speechless for a moment. Why was there something wrong with his body again?

Was it done by the Immortal of Six Paths?

"Senior, can't you feel it?"

"Do you look like I know?"

Then Qingshui immediately asked: "Did you notice this kind of situation last time when you helped me practice chakra acupoints?"

Satomi tilted her head and recalled carefully: "...No."

Then it has nothing to do with the Six Paths Immortal?

"That power...is it some kind of chakra?"

The little girl suddenly became a little unsure: "...I guess so?"

This... He has always been in good health. It is impossible that something strange has happened and he is not aware of it.

If we look at it through elimination, it can only be the period after he came into contact with Ichibi Shukaku's tailed beast jade...

Could it be that some unknown change occurred while he was unconscious? !

What caused this?

Shimizu tried hard to recall everything that happened after Chidori hit Shukaku's chin...

However, indeed, his memory only contained endless light and heat, and then he lost consciousness.

"Satomi, you have to do this for me. I want to find out what that power is."

"Besides, don't tell anyone about this."

"Anyone!"
