Konoha, Hokage Office.
"Tsunade-sama, there is a message from Kakashi-san." Shizune walked in with a scroll on her hand.
Tsunade took the scroll, glanced at it, and said, "Yūkimaru?"
After thinking for a moment, Tsunade took out a pen and paper and wrote a secret letter.
"Shizune, hand it over to the translation team, do encryption work, and then send it fast to Kirigakure."
"Yes, Tsunade-sama!"
Hearing this, Shizune quickly went out with the scroll.
Tsunade supported her chin with her hands, and said in a low voice: "Yūkimaru? The ability to control Sanbi? As far as I know, there is only one possibility for this to happen."
Kirigakure, Mizukage Office.
"Mizukage-sama! There's an urgent message from Hokage-sama."
Ao said as he walks into the office with a scroll on his hand.
Mei was a little confused, but when she read the message, she was surprised.
"What's wrong, Mizukage-sama?"
Seeing Mei's surprised expression, Ao couldn't help but be a little curious about the content of the message.
"Konoha has found Sanbi's whereabouts."
"What? Really! That's great! We must take back Sanbi, so that our Kirigakure's strength can be restored again!" Ao said excitedly.
"I know that, but there is one person mentioned in the message."
"Who?"
"Yūkimaru."
"Yūkimaru?"
Hearing this, Ao was stunned for a moment. As a confidant of Yondaime Mizukage, he is no stranger to this name.
"The son of the Yondaime Mizukage-sama?"
Mei nodded and said: "Yeah, according to Konoha's intelligence, Orochimaru's subordinates seem to control Yūkimaru, and use his power to lure out Sanbi. Konoha's Kakashi sees Yūkimaru looks like Yagura, and knew that he has the ability to lure Sanbi. So he asked Hokage-dono to send a message to us to ask for this matter."
"What! That damn Orochimaru, no wonder I haven't been able to find the whereabouts of Yūkimaru all these years. So he is in Orochimaru's hands all this time. Mizukage-sama, Yūkimaru is the son of the late Yondaime-sama, so we must get him back! After all, Yondaime-sama was controlled by the others. In the end, for the sake of the village, he voluntarily chose to die. Yūkimaru is his only blood, we..."
"I know, Ao. I want you to go with Zabuza, Haku and Chōjūrō, and meet with Konoha's Kakashi and his team. They will help you about this matter."
"Yes, Mizukage-sama!" Hearing this, Ao immediately responded.
Seeing Ao leaving, Mei picked up the scroll and couldn't help but feeling a little bit emotional.
"Yagura, I didn't expect your child to be alive."
Mei launched a coup that year and defeated Yakura steadily.
Obito finally gave up on controlling Yagura and wanted to release Sanbi which was inside his body.
But at the last moment, Yagura regained his sanity, broke the Genjutsu, and chose to commit suicide.
Therefore, Sanbi was not released and a disaster in the Kirigakure was successfully avoided.
At that time, Mei and Ao watched Yagura commit suicide.
Finally, Yagura made a request, hoping that Mei and the others could find his son, Yūkimaru.
After Yagura's temperament changed drastically, Yūkimaru was taken away from the Kirigakure by his wife.
Mei also agreed at Yagura's request.
After all, Yagura is really pitiful.
And Terumi Mei also has a comradeship with Yagura.
"When I first went to the village, the villagers had been slaughtered. I originally thought that Yūkimaru was also dead at that time. I didn't expect that he would be alive. It seems that the massacre of the village back then was done by Orochimaru."
Mei whispered softly.
Things in the world are always full of unspeakable fate.
...
At the gate of Kirigakure, Ao gathered Zabuza, Haku and Chōjūrō, and ready to set off.
"Ao, what's the matter this time? Why are you so anxious?" Zabuza asked in doubt.
Zabuza didn't expect that the team would be composed of Him, Haku, Chōjūrō and Ao. This team can almost be regarded as the strongest team in Kirigakure at this time.
He didn't know what is actually going on for them to be gathered as a team so urgently.
"The traces of Sanbi and Yondaime-sama's son were discovered. Mizukage-sama's secret order is for us to rush over there as quickly as possible."
The three of them were all taken aback when they heard this. After all, the news is a bit maddening.
But at this time, the three also understood the importance of this mission.
"Let's set off!"
Kirigakure's four men squad officially set off!
And this news also reached Kakashi's ears at this time.
"According to the news, Kirigakure has sent a team to rush here. With their speed, they should arrive in the evening today. Before that, let's observe the enemy's movements and also the Sanbi," Kakashi said.
Everyone nodded upon hearing this.
"Sai, Shino, I will leave the task of observing the enemy's movements to you two. Remember, keep your distance."
"Yes, Kakashi-senpai/sensei."
Kakashi turned towards Yamato and said: "Yamato, you will go with the two of them. If something happened, give me a signal."
Yamato nodded.
"Hinata, Kiba, you two are with me to go to the lake to see the situation."
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei!"
A group of six people then split into two groups, and began to do their jobs.
Kakashi took Hinata and Kiba and ran towards the lake.
"Kakashi-sensei, that Sanbi has been always in the lake and never come out, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch it," Kiba said.
"That is indeed a problem. It is estimated that those people have encountered the same problem before, that's why they brought Yūkimaru. But if the water surface is bombed, I think Sanbi will come out because he won't stay silent."
"I am afraid that we need a powerful wide range Ninjutsu for that," said Kiba.
"This is really troublesome. Most of my Ninjutsu is focused on single-point destructive power. And I don't have a lot of wide range attack Ninjutsu."
Kakashi indeed does not have many wide range attack ninjutsu, the only one is Kirin.
However, Kirin is too troublesome and inconvenient to prepare. Kakashi does not intend to waste a lot of effort to use it for this.
"In short, let's take a look at the situation first. We should learn more about the lake, so that it will be more convenient for us to fight there afterwards. We suffered because we didn't know enough about the terrain before," Kakashi said.
Hearing this, Hinata and Kiba nodded and continued to follow after Kakashi and soon, they reached the edge of the lake.
The lake today doesn't have the thick fog like before. On the contrary, the weather is very good and they can see far clearly.
No one would have thought that in such a peaceful lake, there is a terrifying huge monster like Sanbi hidden.
Kakashi glanced at Hinata and Hinata understood.
"Byakugan! "
In an instant, veins appeared on Hinata's face, and her pure white eyes became a little hideous.
"Kakashi-sensei, this lake is very deep and is also very wide. My Byakugan's vision is limited in the water, and the distance is limited, so I can't find any trace of Sanbi."
"Is that so? It seems to be more troublesome than expected."
"Kakashi-sensei, if Hinata can't find Sanbi, what should we do next?"
"We wait!"
