Leaving behind Minato and the others, Ling Yu and Kushina are about to return to Konoha

"Well……"

Being held by Princess Lingyu, Kushina gradually woke up from her deep sleep.

"Hmm… Why are you bouncing around? It’s not comfortable at all."

As soon as she woke up, Kushina frowned, twisted her body left and right, and murmured.

Ling Yu’s mouth twitched, and his body was a little unstable while running on the tree, and he almost fell off the branch. Was he confused in his sleep? Did he think he was in bed?

"Hmm... Ling... Ling Yu?"

After being bumped by Ling Yu, Kushina slowly opened her eyes.

""Alas! How come you are here? Isn't this heaven? Are you dead too?"

Kushina opened her eyes wide and looked at the familiar face in front of her, and said in surprise.

Kushina said this the first time she saw him, which made Ling Yu angry and amused.

Without replying, Ling Yu quickly lowered his head and hit Kushina's forehead heavily with his chin.

"With a"dong" sound, a crisp sound came from Kushina's head.

""Oh, it hurts, Lingyu, why did you hit me?"

Covering her red forehead, Kushina looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"What kind of heaven is this? Is there anyone who curses others to death like you?"

Ling Yu was a little angry. How could someone curse himself to death like this?

"And you even forgot what just happened?"

""Hey? Am I not dead? Did you save me, Lingyu?"

Kushina hurriedly touched her body and found that nothing was wrong. Then she looked up at Lingyu with a big puzzlement on her face.

"What do you think? Who else but me can appear beside you in an instant?"

Ling Yu said helplessly, looking at her speechlessly.

"Hehehe, I didn't react."

Scratching her head, Kushina's expression was a little awkward.

Then there was a silence, and Lingyu hugged Kushina and jumped in the woods towards Konoha.

The sky was no longer blocked by dark clouds, and the bright moonlight shone down, casting a layer of bright light on the woods.

Kushina lay in Lingyu's arms, listening to his heartbeat quietly.

Feeling the warmth of his chest, the previous despair and fear had disappeared, replaced by the full sense of security brought by Lingyu.

For a moment, she finally understood why her heart felt a little painful when Lingyu said he wanted to be with Mikoto.

It turned out that she didn't want to let go, she also wanted to have him!

"How did you know I was in danger?"

With a sweet smile on her face, Kushina lay quietly in his arms and asked inexplicably.

"intuition"

"Liar, why didn't you show up when I was in danger at the beginning?"

"Too lazy to show up, let them teach you a lesson, it's your fault for not listening to me"

"Hate you, I don't want to bother with you anymore.

""Hey? Where's Reina? Wasn't I saving her earlier?"

Kushina suddenly remembered the purpose of her pursuit of the Cloud Ninja, and asked nervously while holding onto the collar of the shirt she received.

"Reina, I left her to Minato. She should be taken back by him now."

"No, didn't you ignore me?"

"What do you care about me? I can do whatever I want!"

"Really, your words don't count."

"Ah! How dare you say that to me? I'll bite you to death"

"Don't move, you're going to fall!!!"

…………

Konoha, Hokage Building.

The top leaders of Konoha are all gathered here. Some of the Anbu ninjas and the Uchiha family are also here.

"How is it? Have you found the figures of the Kumo Ninjas who kidnapped the Uzumaki clan?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in his office with a heavy look on his face and asked his men.

"We have found the traces of the Kumo Ninja, but the hostages have not been found yet."

The Anbu Ninja lowered his head and replied honestly

"Damn it! This is all the fault of the Uchiha clan. If their guards hadn't done a bad job, how could the Uzumaki clan be kidnapped by the Kumo ninja in Konoha."

Danzo spoke now, pointing at the Uchiha clan leader with a stern face, and scolded.

He originally wanted to find another opportunity to kidnap one of the Uzumaki clan members in the future. He thought that there were two orphans of the Uzumaki clan, and it wouldn't be a big deal if one was missing.

But before he could come up with a plan, the people were kidnapped by the Kumo ninja. How could he find the Uzumaki clan members now?

In an instant, he pointed the finger at the Uchiha clan guarding Konoha.

"It's unfair. Our guard team has already concentrated most of its strength on the Jonin Conference."

"Konoha is so big that it is impossible for the remaining guards to provide a watertight surveillance."

"Besides, the enemy is led by a jonin, who is very experienced, so we may not be able to detect him."

"If the Hokage had allowed us to increase the number of guards, this wouldn't have happened."

Uchiha Toyama saw that everyone's eyes were on him, and he quickly stood up to explain.

But he focused on the small number of guards and asked the Hokage to increase the number of guards.

This was more like an attempt to expand his power than an explanation.

"Humph, if you can't even do this, you might as well remove the guard from this position."

Danzo knew what he was thinking and didn't want to give him this opportunity, so he directly proposed to remove the guard.

"Lord Danzo, how could you……"Uchiha Toyama had a gloomy face and wanted to refute Danzo.

But at this time, a ninja from the Anbu ran over.

"Report to the Hokage, Senju Lingyu wants to see you."

Senju Lingyu, isn't he Tsunade's younger brother? What is he doing here? Doesn't he know he is busy now?

"Tell him to go back first, I am busy now! He can come back when I am free."Sarutobi Hiruzen is in a bad mood now, he has no time to chat with a little kid.

Even if he is the descendant of Senju Hashirama!

"Sarutobi, now is not the time to discuss who failed in their duties. Since we have already found the traces of the Cloud Ninja, the most urgent thing is to catch up with them."

Mito Kado En stood up and advised Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although he was suspected of defecting to the Cloud Ninja by mistake before, fortunately he proved his innocence in time.

Now, as long as he took the initiative to propose a plan to Sarutobi Hiruzen, he could make up for his mistakes and completely sever his relationship with the Cloud Ninja.

"Well, that makes sense."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, and then instructed his men:

"Okay, now follow my orders and send ninjas with strong tracking abilities to continue tracking the Cloud Ninjas."

"We must save the Uzumaki clan before they leave the Land of Fire."

""Sarutobi, let me go. I have a few Root ninjas who are very good at tracking. They will definitely be able to find the Cloud Ninjas in time."

At the same time, Danzo volunteered to stand up and said.

He did this for a certain purpose. Although he could not get the people of the Uzumaki clan, if he could capture some Cloud Ninjas alive, he might be able to find out some information about the Cloud Ninjas.

"Well, you must bring the hostage back to me safely."

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo have been comrades for many years, so he is trustworthy.

And the ninjas of the Root do have some skills, so he immediately agreed to his request.
