Konoha Hospital.

In a ward on the second floor, Tsunade was checking Minato's body.

"How do you feel now?"

Tsunade pressed Minato's exposed arm with her fingers.

"My muscles feel very stiff and I can't move flexibly."

Minato's face was relatively pale. Ever since he woke up, he felt that his body functions were in a stiff state and his physical movements were inconvenient.

"This is normal. Don't worry. No abnormalities have been detected in your body. I will prescribe you some medicine and you will recover in half a month."

Tsunade nodded, basically agreeing with her judgment.

Although Minato is resurrected from death, his body will be in a weak state for a while. As long as he takes medicine and rests for a period of time, he can return to normal levels.

"How's your heart doing?"

Tsunade asked again.

Minato's fatal wound came from his heart.

Minato touched his heart and said, "I can't feel the pain anymore."

But when I think back to the scene that night, I still feel chilled all over, as if I had been splashed with cold water.

That man really wanted to kill himself.

Be afraid of his space-time ninjutsu - Flying Thunder God Jutsu.

"By the way, Tsunade-sama, how is Kushina doing?"

Minato asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's more stable over there than here. The seal has been successfully completed. And Sarutobi-sensei is also sending ANBU to investigate secretly."

"That's it."

If such a big thing happened, we really need to investigate it carefully, especially Kushina's identity as a Jinchuuriki.

Before this incident occurred, the only ninjas who knew that Kushina was the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki were the senior officials and ANBU members who protected her.

However, Shiraishi and Ruri accurately found Kushina and released part of the nine-tails power in her body, breaking even the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique.

The seriousness of this matter cannot be said to be small.

"Tsunade-sama."

Shizune came in with a cart. The top layer was filled with medicines for Minato, and the lower layer was filled with lunch and some nutritious diluted food.

"Here you go, Shizune."

"Yes, this is the medicine Minato-senpai takes regularly, as well as lunch."

Shizune pushed the cart next to Minato's hospital bed and took a cup to pour hot water.

Tsunade picked up the medicine on the cart, looked through it, and asked Shizune: "Isn't this medicine developed by Konoha?"

Shizune turned around and smiled: "This is an active body medicine produced by Shionhua Company. It can help Minato-senpai's body recover as quickly as possible."

"Have you checked it out?"

Tsunade asked.

Pour out a few tablets from the medicine bottle, put it to your nose and smell it.

It's not that I don't believe it, but this is a critical moment for Minato. If someone mixes poison into the medicine, it will be in trouble.

"Yes, I have checked it several times and there is nothing wrong."

Shizune said.

Tsunade nodded, then felt relieved and put the medicine bottle back.

"Minato, then you should recuperate here first, and I'll go to the Intelligence Department to check on the situation first."

"Okay, please go slowly, Tsunade-sama."

Minato nodded, asking Tsunade to stay with him here all the time, which was a bit unreasonable.

Shizune followed Tsunade out of the room and walked down the corridor on the second floor of the hospital.

"What's wrong? Just now you looked like you were hesitant to speak."

Tsunade lowered her head and glanced at Shizune next to her.

"Um...Tsunade-sama, did Shiraishi-senpai really betray the village?"

"Are you here to ask this question too? The little girl named Nohara Lin asked this question many times before. Although I can't accept it, I can only say that everything that person did in Konoha was just pretending.

.”

"But... there were obviously no signs before... Why did Shiraishi-senpai betray the village?"

Shizune's eyes were filled with sadness.

She really couldn't imagine that the gentle and polite senior in her impression would be an enemy who would cause great harm to the village, and would even attack his companions mercilessly.

"Well...who knows."

Tsunade's eyes flickered.

"You go back first, I'll go to the Intelligence Department to have a look."

"Um."

Shizune nodded absently and walked home alone.

It wasn't until Shizune's back disappeared around the corner that Tsunade turned to another path.

The Intelligence Department is in a relatively remote and quiet corner, not far from Konoha's library. There are several Konoha ninjas on duty at the door.

Most of them are clerical workers, bringing together knowledge-based talents in many fields, especially analytical skills, and they are all extremely outstanding ninjas.

"Tsunade-sama, do you have any orders?"

A female ninja came over.

"I've asked you to please me before."

"Well, it's basically done, but since a lot of the information is scattered and there were no abnormalities before, there may be some errors in the derivation of the information."

The female ninja answered unconfidently, and after saying that, she led Tsunade into her office, took down a document from the bookshelf nearby, and placed it in front of Tsunade.

The female ninja made Tsunade a cup of tea and went out to work, leaving Tsunade alone to read the information document.

Tsunade opened the intelligence document.

Archives of Konoha Ninja Chiba Shiraishi.

It is completely different from the previous file.

The previous file information was only a very standard Chunin level. Except for being able to use a medical ninjutsu, the other abilities were very consistent with the Chunin level.

Among the Konoha ninja community, he definitely belongs to an inconspicuous type.

"Driven by clay men, giant water snakes, and black beast-type psychic beasts..."

The clay man has a latent ability that is not easily detected by sentient ninjas. He is immortal and will not die even if his body is chopped off or his body is exploded by detonating talismans.

Water snakes can be parasitic, and ninjutsu is ineffective against them. They will be converted into chakra and absorbed, releasing water escape to attack the enemy, creating a favorable environment for fighting. Their destructive power and defensive power are amazing, and physical skills are effective against them.

The black beast can control thunder escape.

But... the problem is that on the night of the battle, the witch was also channeled, and it can be determined that the witch may be a non-human race creature similar to humans.

Or... the psychic technique used by Shiraishi is of a special level.

In addition, it seems that I can also use the shadow technique similar to that of the Nara clan, which is the secret technique of escape.

The shadow has an entity, and its attack speed is very fierce and rapid. Even jounin is not recommended to fight with it in close quarters. The safe distance is more than five meters.

And you can mark people with 'marks' and use physical shadows to assassinate indirectly. In order to avoid being noticed by others, the amount of chakra in the shadow will be reduced, resulting in a shorter attachment time and weaker lethality. You must hit the person's fatal part.

Form a sure kill.

Whether this is the full strength remains to be determined.

"Where did that brat find these things?"

After reading this, Tsunade frowned tightly.

Based on this information and what the ANBU ninja saw and heard that night, even he himself would not be able to deal with these psychic beasts with special abilities alone.

That large water snake alone is very troublesome.

Especially the ability to absorb chakra and continue fighting is a troublesome type for most ninjas.

As for the following analysis, they are all analyzing his character, comprehensive ability index, and reasons for defecting.

But these analyses... are just a pair of analytical data. As for the specific facts, more information needs to be obtained for analysis.

In Tsunade's opinion, to this extent, the people in the Intelligence Department have done their best.
