BECOME MADARA'S GRANDLE IN NARUTO WORLD
TOP SECRET MISSIONS PART - 3

The explosion…

A huge explosion covered the area as Hisen Village Chief used his enhanced chakra power to bring the enemy shinobi further away from the village.

A huge pillar of light enveloped us as I made some earthen walls along with my Susanoo skeleton to protect myself. I could see a large number of high energy radiation particles shooting towards us.

The earth wall blocked most of the radiation, but still, quite a lot of radiation escaped and bombarded my Susanoo. The penetration of these objects is too high, and only pure chakra construction can stop them.

The explosion lasted for a while as the tall pillar of green light finally disappeared, leaving behind a lot of deadly radiation. Takigakure's main outside area was destroyed in the process, although the village was not injured by the blast.

I checked all my teammates and I could see a huge amount of radiation in their bodies. If they were not dealt with immediately, they might die soon. I hope Tsunade can find a way to save them. For now, I will give them basic care to prevent further damage to their cells.

I cured my teammates using Ninjutsu Medical. Jounin Takigakure also lined up in front of me for treatment.

I examined the body of Village Chief Hisen and shook my head.

"He is the missing cause. The Water and Radiation Hero had done great damage to his meridians and vitality. He won't live long. I'd advise you to prepare a replacement for your position."

Hisen sighed after hearing my words,

"I knew such a day would come at last. I have protected the village in recent years from many invaders, and the constant use of Hero Water made my body tired. I finally reached my limit. Can you tell me how much longer? will I live?"

"You have one year at most. If you use the Hero's water in this interval, then you will die instantly." I warned.

"Also, this radiation has caused extensive damage to the body of the jounin involved. I'd recommend getting treated right away, otherwise you'd all be following in Hisen's footsteps."

My warning scared them when they frantically started questioning me. I answered their questions one by one. Now it's time for our remuneration.

"Hokage-sama demanded the 'Hero Water' gourd as our compensation for this mission." Our team captain told Hisen.

"It's okay for me. I'll give you the 'Hero Water' gourd tomorrow. I hope this will improve our relationship with Konoha in the long run."

"Of course, Konoha will be ready to help Takigakure at any time, if the situation demands." Captain answers.

We all went back to the hotel to relax. We're leaving for Konoha tomorrow.

"Hisen-sama Village Chief, I am against the use of 'Hero Water' as a reward for the mission. 'Herone Water' is limited and is a source of strength for our village. It would be unwise to just give it away." Suien disagreed with Hisen's decision.

"We will be able to establish a good relationship with Konoha with the 'Water Hero'. It's a small cost to get their support." Hisen convinced Suien.

"But they are part of the Great Nation and you will never be able to trust them ..."

"I've made a decision and I don't want to hear any further arguments on this subject." Hisen cut Suien.

The next morning, the,

They invited the captain and I to the village chief's house by a jounin. We followed the jounin to visit Hisen.

The Village Chief's Residence was a wooden hut built near several trees with a 'Taki' sign in kanji letters engraved on the entrance. The interior of the cottage seems rather simple. Does not contain a lot of unnecessary space or furniture, such as tables or chairs. Hisen sat on the raised Dai on the floor as he greeted us.

"It's nice to have you here. Once again, we thank Konoha for their support. I hope our relationship with Konoha will be even better in the future."

Hisen gave the gourd with a very clear 'Hero Water' to us along with a scroll.

On returning a child collided with me and fell to the floor.

"I'm sorry." The boy immediately bowed and apologized to me.

"It's okay." I checked the boy.

He has deep black eyes and long dark brown hair that is similar to Hisen. She's the same age as me, though a little older.

"He is my son, Shibuki. He will be my successor in the future."

Hisen introduced the boy. The boy was hiding behind his father as he looked at us.

'He has cowardice.' This is my impression of the boy.

"Well, I have nothing to do with this kid." I walked out of the Village Chief's residence.

Shinobi Takigakure escorted us out of the village through another passageway. We started our journey back to Konoha.

"Are you okay, Captain? It seems you're not in very good shape."

After coughing for a while, the Captain took a deep breath and reassured us,

"I'm doing fine. Previous injuries blazed. I'll visit the Village Hospital for treatment."

I secretly investigated his body. I was shocked to see his condition. A large amount of Radioactive particles were stored in his lungs. They damaged his pulmonary alveoli.

'The captain was closest to the blast after the Hisen Village Chief. It seems like he suffered a lot of damage from radiation. If he is not treated in time, he will lose his life in the next few years.'

Inside the Hokage's office, the,

I started reporting the details of the mission to Minato and Hiruzen. The captain and the rest of my team were treated in the emergency ward inside Konoha Hospital. Tsunade was trying to find a cure for them.

"Maybe I'll help her later."

After hearing my report, Hiruzen muttered.

"I remember that village. Twenty years ago, our village was engaged in a war against them. They have a powerful Kinjutsu capable of blowing up entire villages. It was the same 'Radiation Release' you mentioned earlier. Many small villages were fighting against it. The ownership of the remaining tailed beasts.

They used this forbidden Kinjutsu to exterminate the other small villages in the Forest Land. Our village had to intervene to prevent them from destroying other small villages.

We managed to repel them, but the village suddenly disappeared in thin air. I never expected there would be any survivors and the cause of their destruction was Kakuzu the mischievous ninja of Takigakure.

Anyway, I was quite surprised by your appearance Izuna. I'll promote you to the rank of Vice-Captain Tim Ro. I hope you continue to do well in the future."

Honestly, I was surprised by this promotion. Now, I have a higher permission level and I can have access to more forbidden Jutsu.

'I hope I can find something useful between them.'

I went back to the Uchiha compound because I had no free time for a long time. The rest of my team except Kakashi was hospitalized. I can rest and check on Shisui's progress.

After Izuna's departure, Hiruzen gave a scroll to Minato as he told her, saying,

"Recently a group of Ame shinobi formed a group called Akatsuki. The group was active during the Third Shinobi War, and they recruited many Ame shinobi during this time.

We're not sure about their motives, but I don't think Hanzo of Salamander would have liked the idea of a separate organization that was inside Amegakure.

I have left Root to take care of this matter. I hope Danzo won't let me down on this."

"I agree with your arrangements, Third Master. But I also want to receive information about Akatsuki. I heard Jiraiya-sensei trained some orphans in Amegakure during his stay. So, I'm a little curious about the motives of this organization."

"Well, I'll talk to Danzo about this. How's the situation at the border?"

"There's not much improvement in this situation. Many shinobi from small countries still attack our borders. My hands are full of this situation.���

Minato looked at the large pile of Documents and sighed.

"Lately, I haven't spent any time with Kushina."

"This is the job of a Hokage. Documents are one of the main problems, you will get used to it soon." Hiruzen advised Minato.

"Alright, let me finish this pile of documents and I'll go back home."

------------

Inside the Uchiha complex,

I visited Shisui's house, but she wasn't there. Aunt Fumiko told me about Shisui's location.

"Shisui is training Itachi at training ground three. You should meet them. Recently, Shisui complained a lot about you. Spend some time with them, your Uncle Yagamu is on a mission."

I entered the training ground three and hid myself to monitor Shisui and Itachi.

'Thank God, a certain pervert has stopped peeping.'
