Autumn, October 10th.
For ordinary ninjas, today is just like any other day.
During this harvest season, the genin who had accepted the commission were busy harvesting rice in the fields and earning enough remuneration for food and clothing. The police team responsible for civil disputes had a cold face and took the trouble to explain the village's laws to the villagers.
Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.
But the major ninja clans all over the village noticed something was wrong. The number of Anbu patrolling around the village became larger. In this peaceful era, what on earth deserves such martial law?
Could it be that the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki and the Fourth Lady Kushina are about to give birth?
The Hokage's wife Kushina is pregnant. This is not a secret in the village, but not many people know the specific time to avoid hostile forces taking this opportunity to harm her.
For example, Iwagakure and Kumogakure, who have always coveted the land of the Fire Country.
In the secret delivery room, Minato Namikaze stayed outside the delivery room with an anxious look on his face and kept moving around.
Accompanying him are the three jonins of the Third Generation and Ino Shikacho. Their purpose is the same, which is to protect the Hokage's wife, Kushina, from giving birth to a baby smoothly.
"Isn't Jiraiya back yet?" The Sandai asked with a cold face towards the ANBU beside him. Namikaze Minato, whose wife was about to give birth, couldn't calm down, so he gave orders on his behalf.
"We can't contact Jiraiya-sama..." the ANBU replied with his head lowered.
The third generation's face suddenly darkened. He and Minato had notified Jiraiya in advance to return to the village, but Jiraiya still didn't return. Ruling out the possibility that he didn't want to see his disciple, Jiraiya could only be intercepted halfway.
Logically speaking, Kushina is a powerful Jinchuuriki who can control the Nine-Tails, and there is no need to recall Jiraiya even if she is about to give birth, but that anonymous letter gave them a huge sense of crisis.
They didn't know whether the possible attacker would attack Kushina or the village.
No matter which aspect, they want to protect it well.
It's just that the information in that letter is too sparse, it just shows that the attacker has mastered the space and time ninjutsu, and his strength is not inferior to the 'shadow' of each village.
It is precisely because of the time and space ninjutsu that it gives them the feeling of facing a powerful enemy.
No one in the ninja village knows the power of time and space ninjutsu better than Konoha. It is precisely with the help of time and space ninjutsu that Konoha can create a local advantage in one-to-many ninja battles with more and less, and finally win the ninjutsu.
The victory of the battle.
Based on the above intelligence, they speculated that the village must have four independent ninjas to completely defend against this attack.
But for now, there are only two such strong men in the village. Together with Inoludie and the ANBU present, the number can barely be counted as three, but the manpower is still far insufficient.
Maybe if you call all the major ninja clans, you can barely count them as four, but the higher-ups don't trust the ninjas from the same village.
"Minato, Jiraiya hasn't come back yet..." The third generation said to Namikaze Minato: "The village's defense has fallen into a state of emptiness."
Looking at the delivery room and then at the village in the distance, Namikaze Minato said slowly: "Sandaime-sama, take the ANBU and go to the village to take precautions. Just leave Kushina to me."
"How can this be done?" Sandai was hesitant to speak, but finally nodded and left with Ino Shikacho and a group of ANBU. He believed that Namikaze Minato's strength was enough to intimidate a thousand-man army with powerful combat capabilities.
Before leaving, Sandai looked deeply at Namifeng Shuimon and said: "The enemy is very likely to master the time and space ninjutsu, so be careful, and the person who sent the letter is also likely to be the enemy."
The fourth generation nodded slightly, watched the third generation leave, and immediately stepped into the delivery room. The floor of the delivery room was covered with detonating symbols and sealing techniques.
The next moment, Yondaime disappeared with his wife Katsuyuki in his arms and appeared in the real delivery room.
It's night time soon.
Hinata Zou, who was staying in the yard, looked at the huge bright moon in the sky, and gradually lowered his eyes to the Shadow Rock in the distance, which is the most suitable place for strong men to appear.
Sighing secretly, Hinata Zang returned home. After a while, he walked out of the house fully armed.
Not many people were wandering around in the clan area at night. In addition to Hinata's strict rules, it was also related to the increase in patrols today. Hinata, who adhered to neutrality, did not want to cause trouble at this time.
Walking alone on the clan grounds, Hinata had many thoughts. After experiencing the caged bird for the second time, he understood that the caged bird no longer posed a fatal threat to him. He might be injured, but he would never die because of the caged bird.
After losing the fatal threat of the caged bird, he did not feel relieved.
The black streaks on his body are more troublesome than a caged bird, and he doesn't know the specific origin of the black streaks.
He just escaped from the caged bird and moved into another bigger caged bird.
While walking, Hyugazo noticed the ANBU members who were active outside the clan. Because of the jinchuriki incident, they were still working tirelessly overtime. They were really working hard.
Soon, Hinata Zang arrived at the outskirts of the clan, crossed the road ahead, and left the clan.
He had made an appointment with Yin tonight to discuss his future life path in the small forest.
But Hyugazo stopped, and in front of him was an old man who should have been sleeping on the bed, but he appeared in front of him.
Hinata Xiong, one of the few elite Jonin in the village, and the eldest elder of the clan.
He is also the relative who taught him how to refine chakra and soft fist.
Thanks to him, I was not made difficult by the clan when I was young. As a genin, I was able to perform tasks at will without having to obey the clan's orders.
He has complex emotions for this old man, which is one of the reasons why he did not leave the village.
Seeing Hinata approaching, Hinata stood with his hands clasped behind his back. His face under the streetlight was full of blood and ruddy, and he didn't look like he was dying.
Hinata Zang knew that this was probably a sign of returning to the light.
Hinata Zang walked over and wanted to help: "It's so late, uncle, is he still walking in the clan area?"
"Come with me." Hinata Xiong refused the support, glanced at Hinata's hiding place, and led the way with steady steps.
"Where are we going?" asked Hinata Zou, who was following behind.
He actually wanted to leave and meet with Yin, but Hinata Xiong's eyes refused to refuse, and he just had to follow him obediently.
At the same time, he secretly wondered why it happened at the time when he wanted to leave the clan.
"You will know when we get there. Please remain silent until then..." Hinata Xiong turned around and looked at Hinata Xiong solemnly, his eyes were completely different from usual.
Hinata nodded helplessly and remained silent. The uncle must have a secret that he didn't know.
