Chapter 540: Konohagakure has a deep heritage and many families
At the gate of Konohagakure Village, Kaito slowly fell from the sky.
It was dark at this time, and it had been more than two hours since Uchiha Obito evacuated.
Although most people in Konohagakure Village were still immersed in panic and pain, those ninjas who were less injured or not injured at all had gradually entered the work of rescuing the wounded and restoring order.
At this moment, an outsider ninja like Kaito suddenly landed near Konohagakure from the air.
Immediately, more than a dozen Konohagakure ninjas surrounded him, watching his every move with vigilant eyes.
Fortunately, Kaito did not directly break into the Konohagakure barrier, but stopped at the entrance of the village.
Otherwise, these frightened birds might directly take action to "take him down on the spot."
It was not until the leading ninja noticed Kaito's Mizukage hat on his back that he asked with a little hesitation.
"Mizukage-sama?"
Kaito heard the words and nodded slightly with a calm expression.
"I was a witness at the peace talks between Konohagakure and Kumogakure."
"After that, the head of the Nara family reported that Konohagakure was attacked, and the Hokage left in a hurry. I was a little worried, so I thought about following to see if there was anything I could do to help."
After hearing this, the dozen Konohagakure ninjas who were guarding the gate all looked at each other.
Although Kirigakure and Konohagakure have become allies now, a year and a half ago, the two villages were still fighting each other.
The reputation of this Mizukage among the Konohagakure ninjas is not very good.
It is even possible that among the ninjas present, there are relatives or teammates who died at the hands of this Mizukage.
Now the other party actually said "I am worried about Konoha" and "I came to help"?
No matter how these people present heard it, they felt that there was a hint of weirdness in these words.
However, Konohagakure has just experienced a huge change, and this Mizukage came with good intentions. They can't just stop him here.
Even with the identities of these ninjas present, they can't say such words as letting Kaito wait here.
Fortunately, at this time, a calm middle-aged voice came from behind these people.
"Go report to Hokage-sama first."
After saying this, the person who came ignored the complicated and somewhat hateful eyes of those ninjas, turned his head to look at Kaito, and politely stretched out his hand to guide him aside.
"Mizukage-sama, the situation in the village is quite chaotic now. You can take a rest here."
The person who came was naturally the head of Konohagakure's security department and the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku.
Although the Uchiha clan is in a very delicate situation in Konohagakure now, the power of the security department is still there, and his orders are still reasonable. Naturally, these people present will not expose the internal contradictions of Konohagakure at this time.
After getting the nod of their captain, the two ninjas did not look at Uchiha Fugaku, and quickly rushed to the center of Konohagakure to report the situation here.
The small movements between these ninjas naturally did not escape Kaito's eyes.
However, he did not make any comment on the matter, just pretending not to see it, and nodded with a smile, and walked side by side with Uchiha Fugaku to a relatively intact building nearby.
But when the two of them were a little away from the ninjas at the gate of Konohagakure.
Kaito looked at Uchiha Fugaku who remained silent, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, and then he said softly.
"Clan leader Fugaku, in the battle tonight, did the Uchiha clan participate in it and help Konohagakure Village?"
Uchiha Fugaku, who was walking nearby, paused for a moment, wondering why the Mizukage mentioned this.
Then his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Kaito with horror in his eyes.
"Did you send that information?!"
Kaito smiled when he heard this, but his tone was a bit puzzled.
"What information is Clan leader Fugaku talking about?"
"I just heard that the Uchiha clan is not in a good situation in Konohagakure recently, so I asked this question."
Uchiha Fugaku heard Kaito's slightly questioning tone, and he became a little hesitant. For a moment, he felt that he could not see through this young Mizukage.
After thinking for a while, he still said cautiously.
"As a member of Konohagakure, Uchiha naturally has to contribute to Konohagakure."
Kaito shook his head slightly with a deep meaning.
"Really? But Konohagakure has a deep foundation and many families. I'm afraid it's not only Uchiha who wants to practice the will of fire?"
After saying this, Kaito ignored Uchiha Fugaku who was standing there with a flickering look in his eyes, and strode towards the rest area in front.
Although all kinds of complicated thoughts were intertwined in his mind at this moment, after seeing Kaito leave, Uchiha Fugaku quickly followed.
After that, neither of them mentioned the previous topic again.
It was not until the arrival of Jiraiya, who looked tired, that the quiet atmosphere in the room was finally broken.
"Mizukage-sama, thank you for your personal assistance. The Hokage is still busy dealing with post-disaster matters. Please come with me to the temporary office in the Hokage Building to facilitate reception."
Seeing Jiraiya, who was very polite in his words, but with a little vigilance in his eyes, Kaito was not too surprised.
He just stood up with a calm expression.
"It should be. I was a little abrupt to come here this time."
"But the people who attacked Konohagakure this time were the group of Zero Organization, right?"
Jiraiya was stunned at first, and then the vigilance in his eyes faded a little.
Perhaps because of the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, Jiraiya always had a little vigilance against Kaito, the Mizukage.
In addition, Kaito's appearance at this time was very abrupt.
So before they met, Jiraiya had basically made some bad guesses about his purpose of coming this time.
But now it seems that the other party seems to be only targeting the organization behind the attack on Konohagakure.
After all, that organization sent four members to attack the Kirigakure Village some time ago. As the Mizukage, it is reasonable for Kaito to take action on this matter.
And in fact, if they exclude the Third Great Ninja War a few years ago.
Whether it is the joint Chunin Exam or the Five Kage Talks that just ended, Namikaze Minato's evaluation of the Mizukage's return is relatively positive.
So at this moment, Jiraiya looked at Kaito again, and his eyes were a little gentle.
"It is indeed the same person who attacked Konohagakure last time, but is the name of the Zero Organization the new information obtained by the Kirigakure Village?"
"Is there only one person who attacked Konoha?"
Kaito's sudden surprise not only made Jiraiya, but even Uchiha Fugaku beside him was somewhat silent in an awkward manner.
Fortunately, Kaito did not ask too much about this issue.
Instead, seeing that Jiraiya had indeed paid attention to the name "Zero Organization", he pretended to be a little hesitant and continued.
"The name Zero Organization is indeed the latest information we have obtained, and it is not just this information. As for the other information, I will explain it in detail after meeting the Hokage."
