Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Minato-sama!"

Minato Namikaze returned to his own camp, causing another round of cheers.

All the Konoha ninjas looked at him with admiration, expecting him to say something.

"Uh……"

Minato Namikaze also realized this.

Although he was not a very eloquent person, he still tried his best to arrange the follow-up, asking them to clean up the battlefield and maintain the defense line, and not to think about taking the initiative to attack.

"Yes!"

"We will obey all of Minato-sama's orders!"

But in the forest.

Sasori and Deidara, who had been hiding in it, also witnessed it all.

"That guy is amazing."

Deidara has always been arrogant.

But when he saw Minato Namikaze, he could no longer be arrogant.

The other party is far superior to himself in both strength and personal charm.

"Well, it's really great."

Scorpion nodded: "I have never seen anyone like this."

"It's hard to imagine that Ito is actually friends with him..."

"Scorpion, Deidara."

At this time, Nagato slowly walked towards them from the shadows behind them.

"I received a message from Ito-ge, have you started working together?"

"Yes."

Sasori and Deidara still maintain respect for the behind-the-scenes leader of Akatsuki.

Especially now that Nagato has developed some of the abilities of the Rinnegan.

The strength is more than twice as strong as usual.

In order to maintain fairness when distributing the rings, Yahiko suggested deciding by battle.

In the end, he himself did not get the ring...

But everyone has witnessed the power of the Rinnegan.

Because of this, Nagato now participates in all of Akatsuki's major overseas missions.

"Well done. After all, we have completed the task at hand and have nothing else to do for the time being."

Nagato nodded, then looked over there.

"That person... is Minato Namikaze?"

"It's him. It is said that he is Jiraiya's disciple and can also use the Flying Thunder God Technique. From our observations in the recent battles, his strength is indeed not to be underestimated!"

"That's it."

There was a thoughtful look in Nagato's eyes.

He knew that Jiraiya had been looking for the child of prophecy.

He once thought that the child of prophecy was himself.

But now, he doesn't think so.

"What's wrong? Chief, there seems to be a story in your eyes."

Deidara looked curious beside him.

"Nothing, let's continue to cooperate."

Nagato turned around and said, "I just came to take a look. You guys will take care of Konoha. I'll go to Kirigakure. I have something to do."

"clear."

Before Nagato left, Minato also glanced at the woods here with a cautious look.

There is a strange yet familiar feeling coming...

Who is it?

……

Kirigakure Village.

"The frontline lost miserably..."

Battle reports came in like snowflakes, and Yagura has been smiling less recently.

It was not quite what he imagined.

The advantage gained at the beginning gradually disappeared during the confrontation.

Now, the battle situation has become one of wins and losses, with more losses than wins.

"Minato Namikaze, how could he do this with his own strength?"

Bang!

Yagura slammed his fist on the table.

"We can't go on like this!"

He raised his head.

"Do you have any idea about the task assigned to you?"

"There is already some clue, Mizukage-sama."

In front of him, three elite jonin lowered their heads.

"Akatsuki has said that they are unwilling to directly participate in a war between major powers, and the Hidden Cloud Village said that they have formulated a plan and will implement it soon."

"They are indeed some unreliable guys!"

Yagura felt angry again.

"We must get that thing—"

"The power of the three tails!"

He hadn't planned to take action before because Yagura was confident that with the power of Kirigakure and the current turbulent situation in Konoha, he would definitely win.

But now the battle is like a bonfire that is gradually dying out.

Yagura is the one who desperately searches for wood and throws it into the fire to keep the bonfire burning.

So the three-tailed beast that was initially ignored came into his sight.

"But... Mizukage-sama, we don't have a suitable Jinchūriki right now."

One of the elite jonin hesitated but still raised the question.

"Without a human Chuuriki, it's useless even if you catch the tailed beast!"

"I will be the Jinchūriki."

Yagura didn't hesitate.

"With my strength, it's very easy to suppress the rampage of the three-tailed beast!"

"Then I will go to the front line and meet the so-called golden flash!"

"This……"

Seeing the complicated expressions on the three people's faces, Yagura became furious.

"What do you mean? Do you think I will lose?!"

"I'd lose to a mere Konohachu?"

"We have absolutely no such intention!"

The three elite jonin quickly knelt down.

"Alright, stop talking, mobilize the Anbu and elite forces, and we'll set off as soon as the Akatsuki people arrive!"

"Be careful to prevent them from backstabbing you!"

"Yes!"

The Hidden Mist Anbu.

"Has our Mizukage lost his mind?"

Mei Terumi was complaining to Ao: "One moment we're going to attack Konoha, the next moment we're going to catch the Three-Tails. Are you treating this as a game?"

"Just say these words in front of me, but don't tell anyone else."

Qing sighed and stopped her from continuing.

"Although I share the same opinion as you, the orders of Mizukage-sama must still be carried out."

"Alright, alright."

Mei Terumi stretched lazily and said, "As long as you don't go against that Namikaze Minato, I have no objection."

There are also factions in the Hidden Mist Village.

Mei Terumi and Yagura do not belong to the same faction, she belongs to the bloodline limit faction.

So there is not much respect for each other.

In addition, Yagura has been making a lot of wrong moves recently, like he has lost his mind.

This made Mei Terumi very dissatisfied.

"Let's go, let's see what our Mizukage-sama is up to."

So, a few days later, a piece of news spread throughout the ninja world.

The Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village led the Anbu and successfully captured the Three-Tails!

"what?"

Toru Ito, who had just arrived in Konoha Village, was quite surprised to hear the news.

But he soon noticed the details.

"Just capture?"

In other words, whether Sanwei has been put into use is still a question.

In the original book.

The Hidden Mist Village does not have a Jinchuriki who can control the Three-Tails, except Yagura.

So the way they used the three tails was very simple and brutal.

The idea was to seal the Three-Tails into Nohara Rin's body, hoping that when she returned to Konoha, the Three-Tails inside her body would break free, run wild and cause destruction.

It can be said that it is extremely excessive.

As a result, he ushered in Obito's crazy punishment, turning the Hidden Mist Village into a mess. As the Mizukage, Yagura was brutally controlled, leaving behind countless tragic and shameful memories.

"Now that you have caught the three tails, do you want to put them to use?"

Ito Toru was thinking, and suddenly stopped and looked forward.

Not far from him, a group of envoys were entering Konoha Village.
