Naruto：Immortality and the Eight Inner Gates[Double agent]

Ame No-Charge Information Center.

The light rain was still falling, pattering on the awning outside the window with crisp taps.

In a warm and dry room with a spacious bed, Mizuguma covered his forehead and struggled to open his eyelids.

Opening his eyes, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

Taking a breath, he smelled a scent both familiar and strange.

Reaching out, the left side felt odd, like mountains gathered together, and the right side was equally strange, flat as a plain.

Mizuguma frowned, experiencing these novel sensations, his mind full of confusion.

This isn't right! I clearly remember finishing the last lesson for the children and returning to the office with Taira, how did I end up in such an unfamiliar place? And when did I fall asleep?

Could it be one of Taira's pranks?

Or perhaps I've been kidnapped by enemy village ninjas?

As a ninja with extensive theoretical knowledge, Mizuguma didn't make any rash moves. Instead, he squinted his eyes and pricked up his ears, preparing to gather information discreetly.

It must be said that this was a good habit. If he had been kidnapped by enemies, pretending to be unconscious would result in much less vigilant surveillance compared to being awake.

Adjusting his breathing, he focused on sensing his body.

Hmm! No feeling of being restrained. The enemy is quite careless! They don't even consider me, a special jōnin, as a threat.

He listened carefully.

Two breathing sounds, one on the left and one on the right, very soft and slow. They must be asleep. Heh, their kidnapping skills are quite unprofessional.

Suddenly, Mizuguma, still pretending to be unconscious, frowned slightly, his heart skipping a beat.

Something's not right! The enemy isn't being careless. Why is my body so weak? Especially my legs, why are they so soft? And why is my chakra so depleted?

Damn it, the people who kidnapped me must have given me some strange drug to restrict my body! How cunning!

Mizuguma thought, gritting his teeth, mentally cursing the female ancestors of his kidnappers.

This won't do, I must save myself!

With this thought, Mizuguma decided not to wait any longer. He would make a move while the enemy was still asleep!

No sooner said than done;

Mizuguma tensed his abdomen, preparing to first escape from between the two kidnappers on his left and right, then create some distance to decide the battle with ninjutsu.

After all, he wasn't skilled in close combat taijutsu!

However, there's often a gap between ideals and reality.

He had intended to sit up with a graceful kip-up, then use the Body Flicker Technique to create distance. Instead, it turned into a groaning attempt to sit up while holding his waist, and then, using too much force, he tumbled off the bed.

"Damn it, take my Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Swish swish swish, four hand seals in a second. As chakra gathered in his mouth, Mizuguma finally saw the two 'kidnappers' with bare bottoms!

Good heavens!

It was actually Miss Miya and Miss Yukiko!

In an instant, countless memories flooded into his mind. Mizuguma didn't have time to reminisce; he lifted his head and spewed out a whirlwind towards the ceiling.

"Whoosh!" The violent whirlwind swept through.

In an instant, the entire room looked like a parking lot hit by a tornado, with bedding and underwear flying everywhere.

The huge commotion also woke up the two beauties... uh... naked beauties on the bed.

Mizuguma then realized that he wasn't wearing clothes either.

As the fierce wind subsided, Mizuguma, Miya, and Yukiko stared at each other wide-eyed.

Mizuguma's old face immediately turned red. He covered his lower body and scratched his head awkwardly.

"Um... Miss Miya, Miss Yukiko, let me explain."

"Still calling us 'Miss'?! Have you forgotten what you said last night?"

The hot-tempered Miya didn't even bother to put on clothes. She put her hands on her hips, causing a violent shake in her chest that almost made Mizuguma dizzy.

"What did I say?" Mizuguma replied mindlessly, his eyes full of confusion.

This brief moment wasn't enough for him to sort through the memories in his mind.

"Mizuguma!!!" Thinking that Mizuguma was trying to take advantage without taking responsibility, Miya immediately screamed, instantly getting up and grabbing his ear.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, Miya, be gentle, let me think first!"

Mizuguma's ear was stretched long, his face contorting in pain, but his cow-like eyes were still staring straight at Miya's chest.

Seeing this, Miya grabbed the blanket and covered her chest.

This guy had his way with her; she wouldn't let him see an extra inch of her.

With the lights blocked, the runaway brain also returned. Memories of last night gradually surfaced in his mind.

"Wait, let me sort this out."

Saying this, ignoring his bare bottom, he started counting on his fingers and muttering to himself.

"Yesterday, that bastard Taira dragged me by the neck, running wildly through the village, and brought me here to Miya's place.

Thinking I had embarrassed myself completely, I drank a lot of alcohol, then Miya told me someone was willing to marry me.

Um... I seemed to be very happy at that time, then Miya said that woman was herself, and I seemed to be even happier."

As he was muttering, Miya, who had been listening intently, suddenly interjected.

"Right! At that time, you happily hugged..." As she spoke, Miya's voice gradually became smaller, her little face turning red.

"Hugged... hugged me, said you would marry me, and... and that you would definitely treat me well."

Hearing this, Mizuguma nodded expressionlessly and continued to recall.

"Then, we rolled in bed, and in the middle of the night, I think I was hazily woken up by Yukiko."

Hearing Mizuguma mention her, Yukiko let out a small "eep" and covered her face.

"After Yukiko woke me up, I pulled her onto the bed too, and then..."

"Later, you also woke up, Miya, and we all together..."

As he spoke, Mizuguma's expression became increasingly serious.

Seeing this, the two women's hearts sank to the bottom.

Although it was their first time, they had heard from other sisters that when men were about to turn their backs, they would have this extremely serious expression.

For a moment, sadness welled up in the hearts of the two women.

After Mizuguma finished speaking, his expression had reached the limit of seriousness, which, combined with his anxious-looking face, appeared even more severe.

Suddenly, a loud "thud" brought the two women's attention back.

They saw Mizuguma performing a deep kowtow, heavily kneeling on the ground.

"Miya! Yukiko! What happened last night! It was my fault!"

Hearing this, Miya and Yukiko became even more desperate. Not to mention that this man in front of them was shamelessly kneeling to escape responsibility, just thinking about the future, they had already lost their virginity. Would they really have to live like the lowest-grade geishas, relying on selling their bodies?

As boundless hatred surged in their hearts, just as Miya and Yukiko were preparing to end it all, Mizuguma's extremely serious voice sounded again.

"So, please marry me!"

Hearing these resounding words instantly pulled the two women from hell back to the human world. No! It should be said they arrived in heaven.

Immense happiness immediately enveloped the two women. Tears kept falling along their cheeks, full of happiness.

"I... sob... I do!" The voices sounded simultaneously.

Only then did Mizuguma raise his head, the seriousness on his face melting away, the corners of his mouth turning up, happiness spreading across his face.

...

At the entrance of Amegakure, Rinjin, wearing a raincoat and carrying luggage, was chatting idly with the gate guard.

"Taira, why haven't you set off yet?" the guard asked.

Rinjin smiled and lifted his chin, pointing towards the village. "Waiting for someone."

Hearing this, the guard grinned mischievously and leaned close to Rinjin, saying: "A woman?"

"Yes!" Rinjin nodded, "Not just a woman, but a great beauty, with curves in all the right places. Want me to introduce her to you?"

Hearing about the curves, the guard unconsciously swallowed and shook his head a bit stiffly.

"No, you'd better keep her for yourself."

"Come on, she's my future wife, and she's really beautiful;

I'll be gone for three years, and I'm worried she might be bullied in the village;

Besides, I don't have any close friends in the village to entrust her to. Since we've met by chance, I thought I'd ask you to take care of her for me."

Hearing this, the guard became excited.

"Ahem... that's no problem at all. We're all from the same village, it's only right to help each other."

"Exactly, exactly." Rinjin agreed, giving a thumbs up: "You, comrade, have such high consciousness!"

"You don't need to take too much care, just comfort her on my behalf if she's bullied, bring her some clothes to keep warm if she's cold, and so on.

When I come back, I'll definitely reward you handsomely!"

As he spoke, Rinjin's eyes lit up, and he pointed towards the village, saying: "Look, isn't she coming now?"

The guard, full of joy, immediately looked in the direction Rinjin was pointing.

There, a man with a weathered face and a lecherous smile was running towards them at full speed.

Recognizing the approaching figure, the guard's face immediately turned pale, a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat, nearly choking him.

"This... this is the... beauty you mentioned!"

Rinjin waved at Mizuguma while nodding heavily: "How is it, to your taste? You must help me take care of him, okay~"

The guard had also realized what was going on. He shot Rinjin a fierce glare and turned back into the guard room without looking back.

By this time, Mizuguma had run up close. His gaze swept over the guard who had rolled his eyes at him, and a hint of confusion arose in his heart.

"What's wrong with him?" Mizuguma pointed at the guard who had walked into the room, asking curiously.

"Nothing, he's practicing the Byakugan!"

"Byakugan?! Can even kekkei genkai be practiced?"

"Who knows, these things are unpredictable."

Rinjin lightly changed the subject, then leaned close to Mizuguma and said softly:

"Teacher, last night, was it enjoyable?"

Mizuguma's expression instantly became indulgent, and a foolish smile appeared on his lips.

"You... you have no idea! Miya was... simply amazing! Yukiko wasn't bad either."

Seeing Mizuguma's lecherous expression, full of joy mixed with satisfaction, Rinjin knew that the good deed was done.

And this guy, as he had expected, dared to take responsibility for his actions.

Thinking of this, Rinjin coughed lightly twice, interrupting Mizuguma's daydreaming.

"Teacher, now that you have wives, don't go to Ichiban Street anymore. Save some money and get a bigger house."

"That won't do! Seeing one's true nature and firming one's resolve are things that must be done regularly!" Mizuguma immediately raised his fist righteously.

"Hehe~" Rinjin rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that did you think the wives I found for you were vegetarians?

Although Yukiko seemed weak, she had her own ideas, otherwise how could she have climbed into your bed in the middle of the night.

Miya was an even tougher character. Although she wasn't a ninja, could marital matters be measured by combat power?

At that time, you might be walking with support every day, both entering and leaving~

Thinking of this, Rinjin still decided to pour some cold water on this inflated guy.

"Sigh, you have two wives now, you must be happy!"

"Happy!" Mizuguma nodded heavily.

Hearing this, Rinjin sighed and stood on tiptoe, patting Mizuguma's shoulder with an old-fashioned air: "But I'm suffering! Mikiko promised to marry me when I grow up, but I really don't know when I'll grow up!"

As a master of sarcasm, Rinjin's sarcastic words immediately made Mizuguma feel as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

Mikiko was indeed a woman that ordinary women couldn't compare to, whether in terms of figure, looks, or that kind of charm.

However, Mizuguma had a good mentality after all, and he quickly adjusted. He imitated Rinjin's tone and replied:

"Hehe, I have two!"

Then came a bunch of talk about how happy and joyful it was to have multiple wives, things that children wouldn't understand.

Now it was Rinjin's turn to feel uncomfortable.

After all, every man dreams of having multiple wives, three flowers gathered at the top, four goats starting the year, five blessings arriving at the door, six times six for great success...

Just as Rinjin was about to retort, a man with an icy expression poked his head out from afar.

Rinjin knew this was the person urging him to leave.

Sighing, Rinjin inconspicuously took out an exquisite hourglass from his bosom.

"Teacher, it's getting late, I have to set off!" Looking at the markings on the hourglass, Rinjin sighed again.

Mizuguma, who had been talking excitedly, suddenly stopped, his voice full of pride gradually fading, the joyful expression on his face slowly receding.

For a moment, the two fell into a long silence.

Suddenly, Mizuguma's gaze swept vigilantly around, then he pulled out a palm-sized scroll from somewhere and instantly stuffed it into Rinjin's straw raincoat.

"Use it carefully!" Mizuguma's voice was extremely faint.

Hearing this, Rinjin gave Mizuguma a complex look and nodded silently.

They looked at each other wordlessly, silence once again enveloping the two.

As the man with the icy expression walked closer and closer, Rinjin forced a smile, reached into his bosom and took out a brass key, placing it in Mizuguma's hand.

"Teacher, I won't say any farewell words;

This key is very important to me, please keep it safe for me;

In three years, when I return, remember to give it back to me."

After saying this, he tightened his backpack and turned to walk into the rain.

In the pouring rain, Mizuguma stood alone at the village entrance, still staring blankly in the direction Rinjin had left, even after Rinjin's figure had gradually disappeared into the rain.

"Don't... don't worry! I will definitely live until the day you return!" The choked voice was drowned out in the world.

The rain fell harder, landing on Mizuguma's face, indistinguishable from tears!

.....

Walking alone on the road leading to the Land of Fire outside the village, Rinjin let out a soft sigh.

He understood Mizuguma, and he understood Hanzō of the Salamander even better.

Hanzō of the Salamander was cautious, prudent, powerful yet extremely afraid of death.

Rinjin knew that this man, Hanzō of the Salamander, was extremely suspicious at heart and never trusted anyone around him. Even comrades, as long as they threatened his position, would be killed by him without mercy.

As for Mizuguma, he seemed serious at first glance, but on closer inspection, he was extremely lecherous. Beneath his mature exterior, he hid a gentle and determined heart.

He had been rescued by Hanzō from a pile of corpses as a child, raised, and inherited Hanzō's beliefs.

Protect the village, protect the children in the village, and when it's time to die, pass on the task of protecting the village to the next generation that has grown up.

Hanzō's act of sending children as spies undoubtedly shattered his own beliefs, as well as Mizuguma's blind worship of him.

Rinjin was worried, worried that Mizuguma, whose illusions had been shattered, might do something foolish. He was worried that the naturally suspicious Hanzō of the Salamander would notice Mizuguma's abnormality. He was worried that his only tie to Amegakure would disappear.

So, Rinjin arranged everything, selfishly using Mizuguma's feelings, using Miya and Yukiko, to put a shackle of love and family on him.

He also gave him the key symbolizing his own freedom, hoping he would protect his own life well, waiting for the day he would return.

Love and friendship, Rinjin used two layers of shackles to bind Mizuguma, with the purpose of making him stay safe and alive in this dog-eat-dog world.

Moreover, he believed that as long as Mizuguma didn't do anything foolish, he would definitely survive.

After all, the reason he was promoted to Special Jōnin was because of his exceptional teaching skills. Rinjin believes that as long as he remains in the village, he will survive.
