Konoha: I am cursed with immortality

Chapter 142
Let the slug follow Kakashi, Uesugi Toru himself was not idle.

He searched around, but couldn't find Mitarai Anzuki, so he didn't think much about it, maybe he was on a mission.

Uesugi Toru is not too worried about Hongdou. Anyway, in the future, she herself will forget the impact of Orochimaru's defection on herself.

Even though he was still a little awkward in his heart, at least he had recovered his nature of eating meatballs, which wasn't too bad.

What Uesugi Toru is really worried about is Uzuki Yuyan.

He went to Xi Yan's house first, still hid on the tree outside the small courtyard, looked in through the window, the curtains were not drawn, and there was no one in the window, presumably he was not at home.

Xi Yan, who has already joined Anbu, may be in Anbu at this time, or maybe she is out on a mission.

Uesugi Toru was still a little disappointed when he didn't see Xiyan.

Originally, he came back to Konoha this time just to see Xiyan and see if she was doing well, but now there is no one at home, and Toru Uesugi doesn't know where Xiyan has gone.

"Let's wait until night." Uesugi Toru thought to himself.

At this moment, the vision of the little slug hiding in Kakashi's pocket made Toru Uesugi shine.

Naruto Office.

"Minato-sensei, I'll report." Kakashi walked into the office and said to Minato who was working hard at his desk.

Through the perspective of the little slug, this was the first time Uesugi Toru had seen Minato again in months.

"Kakashi is here." Minato raised his head, put aside the pile of documents in front of him, and said to Kakashi with a smile.

His expression was a little haggard, much more vicissitudes than before, and the sunshine on his face seemed to be much less.

Minato stood up, walked around the desk, walked up to Kakashi, and handed him a document.

"This is..." Kakashi took the document and asked strangely.

Minato nodded and said: "This is the mission of the Land of Earth. Xiyan and the others seem to be in trouble there. They have been out of contact for three days. I plan to ask you to go to support them and help them complete this mission. If I guess If you do well, this B-level mission may have already risen to S-level!"

Uesugi Toru, who was far away in the village, was shocked when he learned the news through the little slug.

Xi Yan lost contact? !

For some reason, his heart suddenly rose, as if he was a little uneasy.

"S rank..." Kakashi said at this moment, "Minato-sensei, I'm leaving right away."

It was about the safety of his companions, so Kakashi did not dare to neglect.

"Don't worry, you can transfer two more people from Anbu to go with you," Minato said.

Kakashi subconsciously wanted to say something, but after pondering for a moment, he nodded.

He is no longer the same as before. If he had been conceited before, he might have rejected Minato without even thinking about it, thinking that his own strength was enough to complete this task.

But now, he has understood the importance of the team.

"Yes, Minato-sensei!" Kakashi immediately left Hokage's office with the documents and Minato's order.

From the time he entered Hokage's office to when he left, neither he nor Minato found the little slug.

This made Toru Uesugi much more certain about the fact that his dead energy was covering up the Chakra breath.

If you haven't even found the water gate, it's safe.

Immediately afterwards, Kakashi went to Anbu, picked two companions, and then changed into equipment, and the three left the city together.

Bing is expensive and fast, and they can't delay for a moment.

What's more, Xiyan's team has been out of contact for three days.

In three days, anything can happen.

And the time spent on the road will not be short, and after arriving at the place, they have to investigate the whereabouts of Xiyan and the others, and they will spend another period of time hiding.

The longer the time, the more dangerous Xiyan and the others will be.

They must rush to the mission location as soon as possible, so that they can have the hope of saving their companions.

Uesugi Toru, who had already learned everything, left Konoha before Kakashi left the city.

When he was in Anbu, Kakashi shared the details of the mission with two Anbu companions, and the little slug hiding in his pocket naturally fed back what he saw and heard to Uesugi Toru.

After Uesugi Toru learned about the location and situation of the mission, he immediately ran towards the Land of Earth.

In the seven-door state, Uesugi Toru's speed is many times faster than Kakashi and others, and at this moment he is only focused on Xiyan.

……

Speaking of this mission, it goes back more than a year.

At that time, not long after the third Ninja World War ended, Konoha and Iwagakushi signed an armistice agreement, and because of this, the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen passed on the position of Hokage to the fourth Namikaze Minato.

But in Yanyin, there are still some hawk faction forces, unwilling to stop here, wanting to continue the war.

They were dissatisfied with the truce decision of the third generation of Tsuchikage, and secretly took action against Konoha, not only violating the border of the country of fire, but also attacking Konoha several times.

These people hide in the dark, and all their actions are extremely secretive, and they are not exposed until the attack is fully launched. The fourth generation suffers from the agreement with Iwagakushi, and while sending people to Iwagakushi to question Tukage, he passively defends.

Very frustrating.

But Tuying had no choice but to clean up on a large scale. He could only warn the hawks in the village and take corresponding measures.

Over time, the power of the hawk faction has decreased a lot, but Tsuchikage has begun to move around Konoha again.

Minato was worried that the tragedy of the Third Ninja World War would happen again, so he secretly sent a few ninjas to infiltrate the Land of Earth to inquire about Iwagakure, so that Konoha could take precautions if there was any change.

In this way, more than a year has passed. During this period, the news sent back to Konoha has never stopped, and they are very punctual. Every time the appointed day comes, a letter from the Land of Earth will appear on Minato's desk.

Under such circumstances, Minato can always grasp the dynamics of Yanyin Village at the first time.

It is of course unrealistic to rely on a few ninjas to obtain information within the enemy's sphere of influence without any intelligence foundation.

But Minato doesn't need their secrets, but just wants to know in advance whether there are any abnormal behaviors in the territory of the land of earth, or even in the hidden rock village.

The rest, he will judge for himself.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Not long ago, the agreed time came, but Minato didn't receive the regular letter as promised.

After some investigation, it was discovered that several subordinates sent to the land of earth a year ago had lost contact for a long time.

As a last resort, Minato had no choice but to send his own more elite Anbu team to investigate the situation and find out the reason for the loss of contact.

Among them, there is Uzuki Xiyan who has just joined Anbe.
