"Am I really wrong?"
In the Naruto office, Sarutobi Hinasen turned his chair, looked at Konoha Street outside the window, took the pipe in his mouth, vomited a mouthful of smoke, and couldn't help but mutter to himself. His mind was echoed with the words Mito Menyan and Shunyu Koharu just said. His eyes, which had always been firm and wise, were full of confusion at this moment.
The fact that Kushina ran away on Umenoshima was so serious that he could not hide it any longer, but he wanted to hide it from Kushina, who had escaped from Konoha by herself.
Mito Menyan and Shunnei Koharu, who were already very opposed to Sarutobi Hina's "indulgent" against Kushina's nine-tailed man, were naturally extremely angry, thinking that he had been deceived by Sarutobi Hina and believed that Sarutobi Hina's will definitely destroy Konoha if he was so determined.
In response, Sarutobi Hirazo had no power to refute.
Although Kushina's body has recovered due to the powerful recovery ability of the Uzumaki clan, her spirit is still in a state of depressedness and is deeply in deep self-blame.
Because in order to suppress the rampage of Jiuwei, Bo Gu was seriously injured by Jiuwei's sharp claws and his chest was pierced. Although he did not hurt his heart, he did not die on the spot. He was sent back to the village in time by Minato to receive treatment. However, for some reason, he has not yet awakened until now.
Even though he and Minato continued to comfort Kushina afterwards and persuaded her that it was Kyuuba's responsibility, Kushina still couldn't forgive herself.
Because of this, the efforts she made before to reconcile with the Nine Tails and become the Perfect Talent, because this rampage seemed to have been wasted.
Not only did she strengthen the seal of Nine Tails a lot, but she also sealed her heart.
"Dangdangdangdangdangdang."
Just as Sarutobi Hizun was looking at the street outside the window and thinking about these things, suddenly, a knock on the door sounded, pulling his thoughts back.
"Come in."
He turned the chair back again, suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his heart, and returned to the calm and firm third-generation Naruto.
"So it's Minato you."
However, when he saw the familiar figure walking into the room, his heart still couldn't help but feel turbulent.
"Is there anything wrong?"
In this incident, if Kushina may have the most serious psychological trauma, then Minato should be the most difficult one.
One is his own brother and the other is his own lover.
He was not less guilty than Kushina for being seriously injured and fell into a coma, but he was still unable to be as "willful" as Kushina.
He must be strong because he knows that he is Kushina's only support. If even he is in self-blame and cannot extricate himself, it will only make Kushina feel even more guilty.
However, when he was alone, his feelings that were far more guilty than Kushina would ruthlessly bit his heart, making him feel more painful.
However, even if he felt guilty, regret, and self-blame in his heart, these emotions did not defeat him, and even made him stronger, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen appreciate this young man more and more.
"San Dianmu Master."
Unknown that Minatoto, who was thinking in Sarutobi Hinata, walked to him with a little embarrassed expression on his face. After bowing, he said with concern.
"Tsunade has been checking Hagaya countless times. Although Hagaya's injuries have not been completely healed, there is nothing serious about it and should have woken up long ago."
"What is the reason why Tsunade thinks that Hatani has not yet awakened?"
Because of King Mu, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very particular about Hatano. Now that he knew that Hatano could use that kind of wind escape ninjutsu, he was naturally more concerned. He couldn't help but ask quickly when he heard this.
"Master Tsunade is still conducting an examination, but Master Orochimaru believes that it should be a problem with the soul."
Minato's face became more and more worried.
"soul?"
Sarutobi Hinako couldn't help but be stunned, and then his face became ugly.
"Did Orochimaru really say that?"
He could not understand his three students. Although Tsunade's medical ninjutsu is the strongest, he is undoubtedly more familiar with Orochimaru, who has been very concerned about various ninjutsu since he was a child. Since Orochimaru said this, there is at least 50% possibility.
"Yes, so did King Mu."
A hint of pain appeared on Minato's face.
When he heard that even the tailed beast that had lived for thousands of years thought so, Sarutobi Hirasen's last trace of luck disappeared, and a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes again.
‘Did you really do something wrong?’
If it is just a serious injury, then there are Tsunade and Konoha's many medical ninjas and Konoha hospital equipment, even if it is difficult to cure Hatani, it is not impossible, but it is related to the soul. Even if he is a doctor of ninjutsu, he can't think of any way.
"So, I hope that Master San Dianmu can agree to my request and let me take Bogu to the Kingdom of Ghosts."
But Minato obviously hasn't given up yet, or rather, he came this time to explain to Sarutobi Hinashin.
"Nation of Ghosts?"
The confusion in Sarutobi Hinako's eyes disappeared in an instant, revealing a hint of hope.
"This is the suggestion made by King Mu."
Minato explained.
"It says that the witches in the Kingdom of Ghosts are the most researched souls in the entire ninja world. Maybe she can find the reason why Bogu is unconscious and awaken Bogu."
"Since that's the case, let's set off immediately."
Sarutobi Hinata naturally would not refuse when he heard this. Since even Tsunade and Orochimaru couldn't help Hatani wake up, it was rare to have a good idea now, so he naturally had to try it as soon as possible.
To put it bluntly, he made his last attempt.
"that,"
A hint of prayer appeared in Minato's eyes.
"Kushina wants to go with us, too."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face instantly became embarrassed, and he also understood why Minato was coming to find him.
"After Hakuya was severely injured and fell into a coma, Kushina kept blaming himself and even curled himself into a protective shell and no longer contacted the outside world. His subordinates hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to let Kushina come out of his own world. Otherwise, I was worried that if this continued, I would, would,"
Minato was stuck when he said this.
But how could the old fried dough stick who has experienced many years of ups and downs, not understand what he meant?
"Are you worried that Kushina will be like Yunyin's Eight-Tailed Tsukiriki right?"
He expressed the concerns in Minato's heart.
"yes."
Minato nodded heavily.
"Sir Sand Me, you must also know that the tailed beast will take advantage of the fragile mind of the Hokagerie, so I..."
"Okay, I agree."
Before Minato finished speaking, Sarutobi Hinazo interrupted him, his eyes becoming firmer again.
He stood up, walked to Minato and patted his shoulder.
