Naruto: The secret in the wood escape barrier

Weighing the ninja bag in his hand, Minato was worried. He looked around again. When he came to a place surrounded by several trees, the sight in front of him made his pupils suddenly shrink.

The sight was filled with corpses of ANBU support troops. The scene looked like it had been through a fierce fight. If you looked closely, there were traces of sand.

"Sand... Sand Hidden Village?" Minato speculated: "Sure enough, we encountered an enemy attack halfway..."

When he got closer, he saw that there were several ANBU who had taken off their masks, but they were not the people he arranged to support the troops.

Thinking of the Anbu corpse he saw before, Minato's uneasiness intensified.

He sensed it again, and there were indeed other Kunai marked by the Flying Thunder God in the Sand Hidden Village.

"Maybe it's Tenzo, or maybe... the enemy tempted us to go... Let's go back first, we'll set off when Itachi comes." Thinking about it, Minato got up and returned to the office.

Itachi was already waiting for him.

"I'll make a long story short, Kakashi and the others are in danger, and we need to go to support them." Minato immediately made arrangements as soon as he stood firm.

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Itachi replied with a slight nod.

"Wait for me a moment. I'm going to explain a few words and I'll be back soon." After saying that, Minato disappeared again.

"Lord Three Generations!"

Minato rushed directly into Sarutobi Hiruzen's house and saw the Sandaime Hokage playing with his grandson.

"Why are you so anxious, Minato?"

"Sandaime-sama, I have something to say."

Hiruzen nodded and asked his wife to carry his grandson into the back room.

"Sir, Kakashi and the others are in danger, and I want to rescue them myself."

"I know you feel sorry for the students, but as you are now the Hokage, you shouldn't have to go there yourself."

"No... after all, this mission involves the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, and all the supporting ANBU have been killed. I'm afraid the attackers are not as simple as we thought."

"Supporting the troops?"

"Yes, and several of them were not the people I sent out at that time."

"Are you suspecting that someone is behind the scenes?" Hiruzen stroked his beard.

Minato nodded.

"So, what do you need me to do?" Hiruzen asked.

"While I am out of the village, I would also like to ask you to help me protect Konoha." Minato said sincerely.

"That's natural, don't worry." Hiruzen replied with a serious nod.

Itachi was looking out the window from the Hokage's upstairs when Minato reappeared in the office.

"Isn't the scenery here nice?" Minato smiled.

"Well, that's true, Hokage-sama." Itachi quickly turned around and faced Minato.

"Don't be cautious, let's set off. The target is Shayin Village. You can grab my hand in a moment and I will use the Flying Thunder God to teleport us there directly, but..."

Itachi raised his head and looked at Minato, waiting for him to finish speaking.

"I don't know where we will land, so please be prepared in advance for some emergencies."

In the deepest part of the base of Amegakure Village, Zetsu was reporting to the scrawny man alone about "Madara" going to Sand Hidden Village alone and Danzo and Sandgakure's cooperation. Konan was also listening.

"You mean, Shimura Danzo, the culprit who encouraged Sansho Hanzo and asked Nagato to kill Yahiko, is now in Sand Hidden Village?" Konan emotionally told Jue Jue.

"That's right." Jue confirmed her question.

"Then..." Xiaonan looked at Nagato: "What should we do? Can we go and avenge Yahiko?"
