The Iwa Ninjas team have all been annihilated, and the next thing to do is to clean up the battlefield.
The two ANBU and Kushina went to seal the body of the Iwagakure, while Chika sighed as he looked at the crows all over the ground.
In just a short period of time, dozens of crows died.
At this time, Kushina had already sealed Shida's body into a scroll. She walked to his side and said, "Okay, don't worry too much. Crows grow very fast. As long as you feed them carefully, you will be able to grow another batch soon."
He nodded, agreeing with Kushina's statement.
With the battlefield cleaned up, Chika and Kushina were considered to have completed this C-rank mission.
After returning to the village, they asked the village chief to sign the task book to indicate that the mission had been completed, and then the four of them prepared to set off back.
The smile on Kushina's face never left during the entire journey.
The four of them rushed to Konoha overnight. Because the distance was not far, two of them arrived at the gate of Konoha as soon as the sky was slightly bright.
At this point, Heihachi and Kazuma's mission to protect Kushina was complete, and they were ready to leave.
Kazuma said, "Kushina, since we're already here, it's time for the two of us to go to the Anbu and report the situation."
Kushina nodded, and looking at Kazuma, who had not yet left and was hesitant to speak, she immediately said unhappily: "I know, I will process the battle last night and say that I was in danger and you two had to show up to help."
He touched his head and laughed awkwardly: "Haha, thank you for your help!"
After saying that, the two disappeared from Kushina's sight.
After returning to Konoha Village, Kushina and Chika were completely relaxed and even in the mood to have breakfast.
After finishing their meal, they slowly walked to the Hokage's office.
"Old man Sandaime, I, Kushina, am back!"
Bang!
The familiar sound of the door opening startled Hiruzen, who looked up at Kushina in surprise.
He knew Kushina very well. This was a rare occasion for her to leave the village, so it would be a pity if she didn't go out and have some fun for a few days.
Kushina walked straight in, skillfully snatched the pipe from Hiruzen, and said loudly: "Third generation old man, we are here to report the mission!"
Hiruzen came back to his senses and asked in confusion: "You came back so soon? Did something happen?"
Hearing him ask this, Kushina raised her eyebrows. This old man really knew her. If the incident with the Iwagakure hadn't happened suddenly, she would have really planned to take Chika out for a few days and then come back.
"Ahem, old man, take a look at this first!"
Kushina threw a scroll in front of Hiruzen.
"This is?"
He first looked at Kushina in confusion, then took the scroll and opened it to read.
But he only took a look at it, and his expression suddenly changed. He said to Kushina seriously: "Where did you get this scroll?"
"It was also luck that the C-rank mission you gave me was caused by a summoned beast of the Iwa Ninja's. After Chika and I found the cause..."
Kushina recounted what happened that day. In addition to lying about the Anbu affairs, she also exaggerated the contributions of herself and Chika.
After listening to Kushina's story, Hiruzen was silent for a long time, and then he spoke with a hint of anger: "You! Confinement for three months, Uchiha Chika, confinement for one month."
When she heard Hiruzen's words, her originally high-spirited face suddenly darkened, and the atmosphere in the Hokage's office suddenly froze.
She forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart and said in a deep voice: "Hokage-sama, did you say something wrong?"
"Kushina, you have to know that you are a member of the Sealing Class. Fighting is not your strong point at all. When you encountered this team of Iwa Ninjas, the best choice should be to retreat, rather than to fight without any confidence!"
Facing Kushina, whose face was bursting with angry veins, Hiruzen rarely spoke in a gentle tone as usual.
"The Sealing Class can't give me special treatment. I'm also a ninja from Konoha. What's more, you sent two Anbu to protect me. It was with this in mind that I had the confidence to stop the Iwagakure."
"Hmph, do you really think that the Anbu will obey your orders? Without my instructions, the two Anbu will not listen to the words of a Konoha Jonin! And this is precisely because I am too indulgent to you. "
Hearing this, Kushina's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Hiruzen in disbelief.
This sentence was too much of a shock to her. She thought she had already controlled the people who were monitoring her, and all matters concerning her would only appear in front of the Konoha high-level officials with her consent.
But Hiruzen gave her a loud slap in the face, and all her actions were under his surveillance.
Her face turned pale, and she asked in a questioning tone, "Didn't they listen to me because I beat them up and then bribed them?"
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen stood up suddenly, with an air of superiority rising from him. He said in a deep voice, word by word: "Konoha Anbu will not accept threats or bribes from anyone!"
The powerful Kushina was so shocked by this momentum that she took a step back and stared blankly at him. Was this still the old man who was always so kind to her? It turned out that
the old man was still the wisest!
Chika, who was standing behind Kushina, secretly thought that the Ninja hero was worthy of being a Ninja hero. Compared to playing tricks, Kushina was still several levels behind!
The Anbu who was monitoring Kushina seemed to be bought by Kushina, but in fact it was just to make Kushina think so.
At the same time, he also understood that since Hiruzen had said so much, today's incident was far from as simple as it seemed. Kushina might have done something bad with good intentions.
"Anyway, obey orders!"
Hiruzen looked at Kushina, who was still doubting her life, and said something stiffly. Then he ignored her and lowered his head to deal with his daily affairs.
"No, you must give me a reasonable explanation today, otherwise I will not leave here!"
Kushina already understood that she might have done something wrong, but she would not give up until she understood the whole story.
Hiruzen also understood her character and immediately said: "Okay! You want to know the reason, right? I will tell you today!"
He pointed to the scroll on the table and said, "Do you think this scroll really contains the defense deployment map of our ninjas at the border of the Grass Country?"
Kushina and Chika were stunned for a moment, then said at the same time: "Could it be..."
Before the two of them finished speaking, Hiruzen interrupted and said, "Yes, this is fake information! I drew this picture myself!"
