Juggernaut of the Moonlight Family

Chapter 373 Hatake Sakumo's Worries

The moment he heard Namikaze Minato's name, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart couldn't help but shrink.

Yue Guanglan just mentioned to him yesterday that the real purpose of Yan Yin and Yun Yin's big fight this time is probably in Jigeng City. He just wanted to think about it for a day before making a decision. Could something really happen? up?

And when he saw the serious look, but still uncontrollable impatience in his eyes, the uneasiness in his heart became stronger.

Sure enough, the next moment, when he heard Minato talk about what happened at Mount Kikyo, his whole heart couldn't help sinking.

Yanyin's army led by Huang Tu went straight to Zilaiye's army, even if there were only thousands of people, Zilaiye might not be able to parry under the attack.

If this messes up the morale of the army and causes problems with Orochimaru, then Konoha will really be doomed.

Fortunately, although I didn't follow Yue Guanglan's suggestion and immediately sent people to Kikyo Castle, I didn't send the originally drawn manpower to Jiraiya and Orochimaru either.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was quite grateful in his heart, soon breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of the already assembled reserve army mainly composed of police department personnel, as well as Yueguang Lan who was confirmed to have recovered.

"Notify Shuo Mao, lead the personnel to pursue immediately, and I will order Xiaolan to lead the reserve army of the police department to intercept,"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was still hesitating about how to use the last reserve army, quickly recovered, stood up, walked to Namakaze Minato, patted his shoulder, and said in a deep voice.

"Be sure to block Yan Yin's team on the road."

"Yes."

Seeing that Hiruzaru Sarutobi seemed to have been prepared for a long time, although Minato Namikaze was curious about the reason, he knew that the situation was urgent, and he also understood that now was not the time to ask, so he immediately bowed in response and disappeared without a trace.

"Notify Yue Guanglan to come."

Seeing this scene, Hiruzaru Sarutobi, who knew that Minato had returned to Kikyo Castle, walked to the window, exhaled lightly, and murmured as if talking to himself.

The next moment, in the shadows, a masked figure flashed past.

. . .

"Master Sandaime really deserves to be a ninja who has gone through the wind and rain, and he has already anticipated the movements of the bastards like Iwagakushi."

In Kikyo Castle, after waiting anxiously for another half an hour, the jounin who finally returned to Namikaze Minato, after hearing the news and orders brought back by Minato, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Since there are already people leading the team to block the attack, they don't have to pursue desperately.

"Master Sakumo, can we start the pursuit now?"

Of course, because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's order, many ninjas who were dissatisfied with Hatake Sakumo's order to stand still, couldn't help but bring some emotions when they spoke again.

"Did Mr. III explain the defense of Kikyo Castle?"

However, Hatake Sakumo was not moved in the slightest, instead he questioned Minato Namikaze with a little worry on his face.

"Lord Sakumo, the Iwagakure ninjas have already escaped, so why should Kikyo City care about defense?!"

Unexpectedly, Hatake Sakumo turned out to be "such a tricky angle" among the Junin, and suddenly became even more dissatisfied.

But Hinata Norori, who had experienced a frightening night in the Land of Grass with Hatake Sakumo a few years ago, saw that he was cautious now, and thought of this past event in his mind. He could also understand why he was so cautious, and even a little bit Cowardly and cowardly.

"Is Sakumo-sama worried that these Yanyin will deliberately lure us away with shadow clones like they did in the country of grass a few years ago?"

"The Kingdom of Grass? Deliberately diverting us away? What are you talking about, Ze?"

When the other jounin heard Hinata's question, they couldn't help but have question marks on their heads.

Hinata had no choice but to explain to them the past when he and Hatake Sakumo took their respective ninja squads to the country of grass to perform missions.

"At that time, Master Shuo Mao and I thought that it was safe for the children to stay in Caoyin Village, but in the end, it fell into Yan Yin's trick. Master Shuo Mao has been so cautious since he got the news, and it is also because he is worried about Yan Yin. Will do it again.”

As a junior who was a few years later than Sakumo, Hinata couldn't help explaining for the senior he admired.

"But if Yan Yin really wants to attack Jiraiya-sama, and we delay time because of this worry, and fail to catch up with them in time, the situation is also very dangerous."

Although they roughly understood Hatake Sakumo's caution after hearing Hinata's explanation, most of the ninjas were still more worried about the consequences of the Yanyin team led by Huangtu breaking through their blockade and attacking the Jiraiya army.

"Lord Shuomao, if this is the case, then you should lead the army first and let me lead the small team to investigate the situation. If you really find out that Yanyin is cheating, then notify immediately."

Namikaze Minato stood up again and offered to ask Ying.

"it is good!"

Hatake Sakumo looked at him, saw the determination in his eyes, and nodded solemnly.

"The pursuit of Huangtu is the top priority, and I can't dispatch too many people for you. You can only rely on your own strength in the water gate class."

"Sakumo-sama, Kakashi..."

Knowing that Kakashi was in the Minato class, Hinata immediately became a little anxious.

"Since he has embarked on the path of a ninja, he is already ready to sacrifice, and there is no exception just because he is my son."

Hatake Sakumo, who knew what he was going to say, interrupted him, speaking with a bit of gravity and determination in his voice.

"Yes."

Although still unwilling, Hinata, knowing that Sakumo would definitely not change his decision, could only reply helplessly.

And the dissatisfaction with Sakumo in the hearts of all the jounin who heard what the two said was immediately replaced by admiration.

Although Yanyin may not really have a conspiracy, if Sakumo's worries come true, the Minato team will really be surrounded by the enemy.

Even with Minato, the elite Jōnin who mastered the Flying Raijin Art, the three little guys who are on the battlefield for the first time may not be able to survive.

On the contrary, chasing with the army seems dangerous, but it is actually very safe under the care of so many Junin.

. . .

In Hokage's office, after hearing the news that Namikaze Minato had returned to the village, Akira Tsukiko, who ran over on his own initiative, arrived when Hiruzaru Sarutobi was still in the "concave shape" by the window.

"What? Brother Minato has gone back?"

However, he was clearly still a step too late.

"What? Do you really want to see him?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was a little strange.

"Well, I have some questions I want to ask him."

He didn't intend to hide it.

"Oh? About what?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi became even more curious.

"About the Flying Thunder God Technique."
