Konoha's Destiny Twins

After nearly a year, I once again came to Takigakure Village hidden behind a huge waterfall.

The forest here is still so lush, but now, under this seemingly peaceful greenery, there is a crisis hidden.

When Qingshui, the Sandaime Raikage and his party led a group of Kumogakure ninjas through the waterfall and then dived into Takigakure Village, they saw two distinct groups of people on the lake shore - Konoha ninjas and Takigakure ninjas.

"Yunyin is here..."

Both sides discovered Kumogakure who came here, as well as five Konoha ninjas wearing Konoha forehead protectors.

The ninjas on the Konoha side led by Minato were all overjoyed that reinforcements had arrived; while the faces of everyone in Takigakure Village instantly became stiff.

So naturally, the originally deadlocked balance was broken.

"Senior April is here!"

Originally, Kumogakure's plan was to withdraw to the Kingdom of Thunder as soon as possible, but after Qingshui received the letter from the ninja sent by Minato, he immediately told Kumogakure about the predicament they were facing.

It turns out that Kakashi's psychic beast Parker tracked the enemy all the way until the enemy entered Takigakure Village. Because they had to take a necessary waterway, the scent clue was completely interrupted.

So Minato negotiated with the senior officials and leaders of Takigakure Village, hoping to conduct a thorough search of the entire Takigakure Village.

However, he was rejected by the other party.

If it were in the past, the senior officials and leaders of Takigakure Village would not dare to refuse Konoha's request.

But now, because Konoha itself is constantly suffering from external threats, there is not much power deployed on Takigakure's side, resulting in its increasingly weak control over Takigakure. As time passed, coupled with the continuous wars between Kumogakure and Iwagakure on the border, and the political situation in Takigakure itself, the new top management and leaders underwent a major change.

Therefore, the young and energetic new leader of Takigakure, Xinyang, categorically rejected Minato's "unreasonable request".

How could ninjas from other countries be allowed to search their own ninja village at will?

With such a loss of sovereignty, how can the reputation of Takigakure Village be saved?

Even if Konoha told the truth, the other party would not agree.

Except for the use of force…

And it's impossible for Minato to really destroy Takigakure...

So after confirming that Kushina was indeed hidden somewhere in Takigakure Village, Minato sent a Konoha ninja to inform Shimizu to come with Kumogakure's troops.

After all, their numbers are still too small to form an absolute pressure on Takigakure.

But Kumogakure has a large army of thousands of people. If he can bring these troops over, Takigakure Village will definitely not be able to sit still.

"Captain Namikaze, how is the situation now?" Toshiro greeted Minato and then asked about the current situation.

Minato shook his head regretfully: "They refused to give in no matter what..."

Qingshui thought more, and was unwilling to give in because Madara and Fei were obstructing him?

Perhaps it was because they controlled the top management of Takigakure to achieve the purpose of diplomatically restricting Konoha.

It's just that now Minato and Qingshui have no evidence to prove these things that have not yet seen the light of day.

Especially since Minato still doesn't know about Madara's existence...

"Then let's do it. We don't have much time... and we have to be careful of Iwagakure's pursuit." Toshiro stepped forward and said loudly, "I am Kumogakure's commander Toshiro. I have something important to discuss with you. Discuss with Takigakure’s new leader.”

Soon, a young man stood out from the crowd of Takigakure ninjas: "My name is Xinyang, and I am the current leader of Takigakure Village."

This is this person... According to Minato, the new leader of Takigakure is quite hostile to Konoha.

Is he Madara's puppet?

If he is Madara's puppet, he will definitely carry out the steps to hinder Konoha's search to the end.

Qing Shui narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to see through all this...

However, the negotiations led by Kumogakure soon came to a satisfactory result, and Xinyang, the leader of Takigakure Village, agreed to Konoha's "unreasonable request".

From the conversation, it can be felt that the young man named Xinyang is very afraid of the army of more than 3,000 people deployed by Yunyin at the entrance of the waterfall.

He even thought that Kumogakure was here to conquer Takigakure...

"So it's just because Konoha lost control of Takigakure that Takigakure rejected us?" Minato murmured.

Qing Shui was also quite surprised. He glanced at Minato and then said, "Ah, that's what it looks like."

"That boy is just afraid of Kumogakure, not Konoha."

Because Kumogakure has an army of 3,000 people, there are only a few small groups of ninjas here in Konoha.

So in fact Madara and Fei do not really control Takigakure Village.

The subsequent search process went very smoothly. With the help of Parker's sensitive nose, Konoha locked Kushina's final location in a short period of time - a small wooden house with one floor.

What a coincidence, this cabin is the holy place where Takigakure stores the Water of Heroes.

"Everyone...do you have to go in..." Xinyang struggled to hold on to the face that belonged to Longyin Village.

"You also heard what this psychic beast said, she is inside." Toshiro said solemnly.

Xinyang glanced at the silent Sandaime Raikage next to him, and then looked at the burning Konoha here...

He finally gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll accompany you in!"

Although they could go in, only four people, Minato, Shimizu, Toshiro and the Sandaime Raikage, entered the cabin with Xinyang's permission.

Qing Shui looked around...

This is the same cabin, where he stole the Hero's Water.

It was also here that he accidentally caught a glimpse of the flashing figure, and that figure was finally confirmed by Orochimaru to be Bai Zetsu A Fei.

Is A Fei still here?

Does he dare to appear in front of the four of them?

Where is Madara hiding again?

While thinking, the group quickly found Kushina lying on the ground. Although she was unconscious, luckily there was no obvious trauma.

And what's going on with this obviously chaotic and violent chakra?

Does Kushina herself have such powerful chakra?

But the person was finally found... As for the abnormality on his body, he will find out later by looking for his companions in the medical class.

Things finally seemed to be over, and several people breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Xinyang on the side suddenly said excitedly: "Heroic water?!"

I saw that there was not much liquid left in the bottle containing the Hero's Water. Was it stolen?

"She drank most of the hero's water." Xinyang pointed at Kushina and said, "Normally speaking, just a little bit can explode ten times the original chakra."

"But she drank so much..."

This was obviously not a good thing, and Minato immediately asked nervously: "What will happen?"

"I once heard from a senior that there was once a seven-tailed Jinchuuriki in the village who took the hero's water, which turned him into a tailed beast and eventually went berserk..."
