Chapter 102 Nine-Tailed Rampage!
On the coastline, a small team is on a mission.
"Surprise attack! Surprise attack!"
Yamada Daihiro's shouts were almost swallowed by the wind. His team reacted quickly, surrounding the wealthy merchant's son on the carriage.
They are secretly carrying out a Class B mission: to escort a wealthy businessman's son to another small country.
A group of figures emerged from the woods ahead, each one burly and muscular, wearing ninja combat uniforms with one shoulder.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Illusion Pillar!"
The ninja in front of Yamada Daiyu's squad suddenly turned into a dazzling white light.
"It's a Lightning Release genjutsu from Kumogakure! Look away!"
"Yamada Daiyu!" he shouted, and was the first to close his eyes tightly.
He had encountered a Cloud Village ninja using this technique before; by simply closing their eyes, they could block most of the light from entering.
This is his way of learning from experience.
"Kill the target."
Desato shouted and raised his katana to strike.
Their mission was commissioned by the wealthy businessman's enemy, who demanded that they kill his only son!
Once I kill him, the mission is complete, and I can leave without fighting these Konoha ninjas!
Yamada Daiyu immediately refined his chakra and formed hand seals.
"Water Release: Water Fang Bullet!"
His right hand gathered swirling water, which condensed into the shape of a water gun and swiftly attacked the Cloud Village ninja.
"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"
The Cloud Village ninja instantly formed hand seals and released an earthen wall, blocking the path of the water guns and intercepting them all.
Yamada Daiyu wanted to continue unleashing "Water Release: Water Fang Bullet," but a flash of light appeared, and an exaggerated gash appeared on his abdomen.
He screamed in pain, and his teammates, hearing the commotion, rushed to his aid.
"Yamada, hang in there!"
In an instant, chaos erupted, and the wealthy merchant's son listened in terror to the sounds of fighting outside.
After an unknown amount of time, a dark figure appeared in front of him.
Before he could even shout, he felt a cool sensation in his throat, and warm liquid flowed down his neck.
He reached out and touched his palm; the blood splattered before his eyes. His mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to shout something, but the sound was choked in his throat.
"Mission accomplished, retreat!"
Desato shouted, then sliced through the remaining flesh of the wealthy merchant's son with a knife, severed his head, sealed it into a scroll, and quickly left the place.
Damn it.
Nobuo Sakai spat out a mouthful of words, his face filled with anxiety.
He finally managed to get away from teaming up with Kakashi and found new teammates, but the situation has become more serious than he imagined.
Friction between nations is escalating, and there are even rumors that the Third Shinobi World War could break out at any moment.
He glanced at Yamada Daihiro lying in a pool of blood; this had exceeded the original difficulty of their team's mission.
A B-level difficulty was already a stretch, so this one is at least an A-level difficulty.
"Quickly take Yamada back for treatment!"
…………
Third exercise field.
The sun was high in the sky, and the air was filled with a faint smell of dust. The ground was covered with dents caused by the impact.
"Controlling this... is too difficult."
Minato Namikaze sat on the ground, panting, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
His hands trembled slightly, clearly indicating that the training he had just completed had consumed a great deal of chakra and energy.
Standing to the side, Jiraiya looked thoughtfully at Minato's palm, muttering to himself:
"I've heard before that when refining chakra, it's easier to guide it according to the direction of the whorl on your head..."
Upon hearing this, Minato was momentarily stunned, blinking, "Huh?"
Doesn't that sound more like superstition?
But Jiraiya spoke with a straight face, as if he really had some unique insights.
Seeing that Minato looked puzzled and there was no progress, Jiraiya stopped talking about it. He took out an ice pop from his pocket, skillfully broke it in half, and handed one half to Minato.
Minato Namikaze simply looked down at his palm, seemingly understanding something, and asked Jiraiya which way his hand was spinning.
Upon learning that there were chakra on both sides, Minato Namikaze stretched out his hands and began to refine chakra according to the spiral pattern on the top of his head.
"It's...it's starting to take shape!!"
Minato Namikaze finally managed to stabilize the constantly compressing and spinning chakra sphere in his hand, and excitedly exclaimed:
"Let's name it 'The Hidden Light Popsicle Inspires Jiraiya's Double-Style Pill'!"
"It's so long and tedious..."
Jiraiya felt that his disciple had absolutely no talent for naming things.
"In any case, let's take a break from today's new technology development."
Jiraiya handed the popsicle to Minato and casually said, "I still have some mission applications to take care of, so I'll be going now."
Minato nodded, watching Jiraiya's figure disappear into the forest path, and then slowly took a bite of his popsicle.
Not long after, he keenly sensed a spying presence coming from a certain direction behind him.
Looking to the side, I saw a head peeking out from behind a big tree. The red hair swayed slightly, and the eyes were bright and gleaming, with a hint of guilt in them.
"Huh?! Kushina?!"
Minato jumped to his feet, his face filled with surprise and nervousness. "What are you doing here? Are you alright?"
He subconsciously looked around, fearing that someone might be secretly watching him.
You must understand that Kushina's identity is special, and she cannot leave the surveillance area at will.
If the Hokage finds out she sneaked out on her own... that would be terrible!
Seeing this, Kushina chuckled and scratched the back of her head, her eyes darting around.
"Um... the Third Hokage granted special permission, saying that we can temporarily leave the barrier."
Kushina touched the back of her head, feeling uneasy.
She didn't speak with much conviction, but Minato began to suspect that Kushina was deceiving him.
Kushina has never been able to leave the sealing barrier, has she?
Has the sealing power been strengthened?
Minato Namikaze was making guesses in his mind, mainly because this matter was of great importance, and he couldn't help but think about it.
Minato Namikaze was one of the few people who had some vague knowledge of Kushina's identity.
Just as Minato Namikaze was about to say something, Kushina's light blue eyes suddenly turned into vertical pupils like those of a wild beast.
"!"
This is... Tailed Beast Transformation!
Minato Namikaze looked at Kushina, who was suddenly clutching her head and looking pained, and instantly realized the reason.
He had fought against the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki in previous missions.
It's obvious that the tailed beast's chakra is leaking out!
"Kushina!"
Before Minato Namikaze could seal Kushina, a sudden sound rang out in the arena.
Minato Namikaze looked in the direction of the voice and saw Kiyoshi Uchiha, whom he had seen several times before during the Chunin Exams.
Kiyoshi ran over quickly, his face showing what appeared to be an anxious expression.
No wonder Kushina mentioned Kiyoshi several times before.
Minato Namikaze immediately understood; it seemed they had a good relationship.
next moment.
puff!
Minato Namikaze was sent flying by the tail formed from the leaked chakra of the tailed beast.
"Watergate!"
Kushina wanted to run over.
This dialogue is similar to the previous one, because most of it is based on the original plot of the Minato Chronicles.
