The Land of Hot Water, the original village.
After experiencing the battle between Konoha and the Cloud Ninjas, the Hot Water Ninja, who was forced to join, suffered heavy losses. After that, under the command of the 4th Hokage, the heavily injured Hot Water Ninja was directly removed, and the name of the village naturally no longer existed.
However, the village had yet to receive a new name from Konoha, so it was still temporarily used as its original name.
Because their own Hot Water Ninja no longer existed, most of the people in the village, except for the first who was not used to it, accepted it.
After all, as a village that had always enjoyed "forgetting the war, " they did not care much about armaments.
It could not be helped. The geographical location of Hot Water Hidden Village was very good. In addition to the hot spring resources and natural scenery that was renowned throughout the entire Ninja World, just the travel income was enough to make the people of the village live a comfortable life.
In terms of average income, they were probably higher than the people of Konoha Village.
Since life was full, naturally, they did not want to involve other troubles.
Previously, the matter of Cloud Ninjas pulling non-disabled men had already made the villagers very sick of it.
After that, the letter of death that was sent back made many families feel even more pain. For the first time, they deeply experienced the cruelty of war.
Now that Cloud Ninjas was alive, no one would come to recruit them in the future.
In addition, with the number one Konoha Ninja in the Ninja Realm protecting Cloud Ninjas Village, they could enjoy a comfortable life.
Therefore, the people of Hot Water Hidden Village quickly adapted to the change in the current situation.
As for the fact that the Cloud Ninjas had died many times in the hands of Konoha Ninjas, instead of hating this, they hated the Cloud Ninjas who used their own people as cannon fodder.
The former was ultimately just a battle on the battlefield, and there was no prejudice.
The latter's starting point was to let them block bullets and send themselves to death deliberately.
In addition, these years, the Cloud Ninjas had been constantly exploiting the Hidden Village of Hot Water Land.
In such a new and old hatred, when they heard that many prisoners of war were staying in the Village of Hot Water, many villagers of Hot Water Hidden Village refused to sell food to the Cloud Ninjas. Some even dared to touch the edge of the latter camp, cursing the Cloud Ninjas while throwing stones at them.
This made the Konoha Ninjas very embarrassed.
...
"Then, Mr Kaneko, I'll leave the next logistics purchase to you."
In the original office, Minato, who was now in charge of Konoha's army, thanked a very ordinary old man.
The latter was an ordinary person, but his original identity was shocking. It was the original owner of this place, Hot Water Hidden Village.
According to tradition, those who can serve as Hot Water people are people with high morals in the village.
Because of this, when facing Konoha's army, this Hot Water land wisely gave up resisting and accepted all of Konoha's modifications.
Minato was very respectful to this person.
Not only because of his attitude towards Konoha but also because of his high reputation in the village, many things that Konoha needed his help in.
Just like the logistics matter just now.
After the war with the Cloud Ninjas ended, because of the order of Yuki Senju, the Konoha army and the three thousand prisoners of war did not return but first moved to the Hot Water Village to imprison the latter.
Originally, according to their expectations, Hot Water Hidden Village had enough resources to support the logistics of nearly ten thousand troops.
However, they did not expect that although there were these, they ignored the hatred that Hot Water Hidden Village villagers had for the Cloud Ninjas, so they were not willing to sell it at all.
Konoha could not force them to sell it.
Otherwise, the little reputation that was built with great difficulty would be ruined.
This was the reason why Minato asked for the original name of Mr Kaneko.
Only the latter could suppress the restless atmosphere in the village and let the Konoha army replenish the logistics in time.
Mr Kaneko nodded and said, "For the sake of me, the villagers will reluctantly nod their heads. You don't have to worry, Minato. However, the longer the prisoners stay in the village, the heavier the villagers' resentment. If possible, Minato, you must keep the prisoners away as soon as possible."
Minato nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr Kaneko. We have already received orders from Konoha. Three days later, the army will return with the Cloud Ninjas. The purchase in the village is also for consumption on the way back."
"That's great." Mr Kaneko breathed a sigh of relief.
Not only was Konoha worried, but he was also worried that the villagers would do something too extreme in their excitement.
"So, Minato, are you leaving as well?" Mr Kaneko, who was relieved, asked again.
Minato nodded and said, "Yes."
"That's a pity. In fact, I still have many villagers who hope that you can be stationed here."
After a short time, Mr Kaneko had a good impression of this powerful man. He had excellent handling methods, but his temper was very gentle. He had a good impression of Konoha's manager, who treated the villagers equally. His words were definitely sincere.
Of course, he also knew that this young man in front of him was the right-hand man of the Hokage. His political prospects were great, and he naturally could not come to the small village manager.
Therefore, it was just a sign of emotion.
After that, the two had a friendly exchange, and Mr Kaneko said goodbye.
The water door sent him out.
When he returned, he, who had been smiling brightly, took a deep breath and took out the letter from Yuki Senju sent by the Ritsuko Yamanaka this morning.
He had heard about the great changes in the Land of Fire and Konoha during this time in hot water Land.
Compared to him, he was not too surprised. After all, he had more or less come into contact with these in the past.
However, because he was deeply involved with the 3rd Hokage, sometimes he could not make a decision.
Fortunately, the 4th Hokage saw his dilemma and let him not participate this time.
Otherwise, Minato really needed to learn how to answer if the 3rd Hokage and his teacher wanted his help.
He had just read the letter written by the 4th Hokage.
In the letter, besides the fact that the other gods controlled his name, Yuki basically told him everything, including the treatment results of the 3rd Hokage and Jiraya.
Minato was very touched by this treatment.
Adding the fact that he saved the life of the Kyubi, and the fact that he had deliberately made him stay neutral, it could be said that he owed the 4th Hokage two huge favours.
Now that everything had been settled, the 3rd Hokage and Jiraya had been lenient, and he could let go of the worries in his heart.
It was time to express his intentions.
Minato thought about it and quickly wrote a reply to Yuki.
Halfway through, he couldn't help but think of his wife, who had been specially sent by Yuki to Turtle Island for the Perfect Human Pillar Trial, far away from all trouble. He couldn't help feeling more grateful to his master Hokage.
I wonder how Kushina is doing now.
....
At the same time, Turtle Island floats above the ocean.
In front of the real waterfall.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this time, Kushina, who her husband had remembered, was bombarding the surrounding water with a furious face.
"Da** it! How can this real waterfall be? And that fake, if you really do it, I will beat you to death! I am not that kind of person!"
After failing repeatedly, Kushina's temper was already somewhat uncontrollable.
Different from her own son in the original book, although Kushina can now perform the Perfect Human Pillar Trial, after all, it was forcibly taken from Cloud Ninja, and naturally, she cannot get the latter's experience and teaching.
Everything could only be figured out by Kushina herself.
But this was undoubtedly very difficult for her.
It differed from her son, who could treat tail-beasts like real friends without prejudice.
Kushina was still much worse in this aspect.
Although she could call the name Nine-Tailed affectionately, the two could not be completely in love.
Because in the aspect of love, her heart had been completely given to Minato and her son.
As for the Nine-Tailed in her body, she could never be ranked at the top.
In such a situation, coupled with her ordinary mouth movement talent, it was normal for Kushina to suffer a setback in the trial of Perfect Human Pillar.
Fortunately, Yuki did not expect Kushina to become the pillar of a perfect human in a single step.
He only sent her over to send her away from the whirlpool.
If the pillar of beauty was so easy to become, then in history, there would not only be the only person who passed the Turtle Island Trial, and the three generations of Water Shadow Mizukage, who also achieved this achievement not only because of any method but also lost his position.
It did not matter if he was lucky.
So, when Yuki sent Kushina away, he also gave him a time limit to return.
Otherwise, with his stubborn mind, he did not know how long he would have to fight here.
After a while, another failure made Kushina lie tiredly on the stone, and her mind could not help but recall what she had just said on the dark side.
When she first came to Konoha, she used all kinds of cold taunts, became under heavy surveillance after the Kyubi Jinchuriki and the most important thing was the destruction of the Uzumaki Village.
The latter had already been suppressed in her heart, but she didn't expect it to be exposed by the dark side.
As the closest ally of the village, why didn't Konoha rescue them in time when the former was killed?
Why didn't they avenge their allies afterwards?
Why didn't Konoha take in the survivors of the Uzumaki clan in the Uzumaki land scattered all over the ninja world?
Did Konoha participate in the destruction of the village?
All sorts of things that she didn't want to think about were now circling in her mind.
She scratched her wine-red hair in frustration.
Finally, when Minato and Naruto's brilliant smiles appeared in her mind, the darkness that was stirred up quickly disappeared.
No matter what, now she had a beloved husband and son and many enthusiastic and friendly Konoha colleagues and friends. Although the current Hokage was not in tune, many things were also considered for herself.
So, in this life, what was there to be dissatisfied about?
As for the shadows in her heart, they were only the matters of the previous generation.
Even if the previous generation had entered the dust, things had changed over time, and some things had to be put down.
As she thought about this, she instantly felt relieved and then confidently came to the real waterfall again.
However, soon, she left with a decadent look.
In the end, she overestimated her ability to escape with her mouth.
"Ah ---Why is this ghost trial so difficult!" Kushina shouted unwillingly, and in the end, he even asked blindly for help, "I say, Kyubi, you come and help too!"
"Humph!"
Inside the sealed space, Nine-Tailed cast a disdainful glance at the stupid woman outside when she heard this.
It's good enough that I didn't pull you back.
And help you?
Dream on!
