Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

"Although the battle in the Rain Country has ended temporarily, we still cannot let our guard down. Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru are still stationed at the border of the Rain Country to prevent any changes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen decided: "You three have worked hard during this period. Take a good rest for a few days. We will have other tasks for you later."

"Yes, Hokage-sama," the three of us answered and left the Hokage building.

Regardless of how Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo and other Konoha high-ranking officials analyzed the situation and decided on the strategy after we left, the three of us had indeed been traveling for a long time, so we went home separately to rest.

Due to the impact of the war, although it did not affect the Land of Fire and Konoha, many ninjas went to the front lines and Konoha was no longer as prosperous as before.

After returning home, my father was still out on a mission and my sister had joined Konoha's daily patrol team. Only my mother was at home. However, people in the ninja world had long been accustomed to this kind of life, so there was no drama of reluctance to leave or separation of life and death.

I stopped thinking about what tasks the Third Hokage would assign me and returned to my normal life, continuing to practice every day without fail.

During this trip to the Rain Country, we participated in several battles. Our opponents were all senior ninjas with rich combat experience. Although I always had the upper hand, there is still a lot of room for improvement. So in addition to practicing the twelve Earthly Branches fundamental seals, I also summarized and reviewed these battles.

As an orphan, Minato had nothing else to do after visiting a few elder friends, so he made an appointment with me to practice together in the old place in Konoha Forest.

Shinichi, as a rising star of the Uchiha clan, has a lot of things to deal with in the family. After all, the Uchiha clan does not have a clear system of main and branch families like the Hyuga clan. It can be said that they only promote people based on their merits, so Shinichi's voice and influence have been raised to a higher level.

In addition to Minato and I, Ling and Kushina, who have not yet graduated, also often come here to practice after school. However, Nono was spotted by a ninja from the Konoha medical team, who discovered her potential to become a medical ninja, so she comes less often.

It was another morning, and Ling and I came to the Konoha Forest as usual. As soon as we arrived, we found something wrong. Minato was the first one among us to arrive every day, and Kushina was also unable to sit still, but today both of them were not here.

I frowned and looked around, but found some suspicious clues. There were footprints on the ground that did not belong to us, and normally there would be no other ninjas coming here.

I turned on my white eyes and carefully scanned the surrounding trees and rocks. Sure enough, I found some marks, which were indicator marks engraved on the trees, and a word "cloud".

Ling and I discovered this mark together, and were still a little confused, but I suddenly remembered the memories that had been buried in my mind.

In the later part of the plot, the Lightning Village can be said to be the strength of the Allied Ninja Forces. Whether it is the Fourth Raikage or the Eight-Tails' perfect Jinchuriki, they are both as strong as Sasuke who has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

However, in the early stage, the Lightning Village appeared as a villain. The two things that impressed me the most were the kidnapping of Kushina for the purpose of perfecting the tailed beast jinchuriki research, and the kidnapping of Hyuga Hinata for the bloodline limit of the Byakugan.

Although both kidnapping incidents ultimately ended in failure, the impact they caused was not small. The kidnapping of Kushina happened during the Second Ninja World War, which gave Minato the opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty, and indirectly promoted the relationship between the two.

I remember that Kushina had already become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki when she was kidnapped, but she was not yet when we went to the front line of Rain Country, so I never thought about this matter. It seems that during this period of time, Uzumaki Mito had sealed the Nine-Tails in Kushina's body.

Although in the original work, Mizuto was still very young and yet he single-handedly accomplished the heroic feat of saving the beauty, and compared to the Minato in my memory, he is now much stronger, so there shouldn't be any problem.

But this is not an animation or a game after all, and I will not watch my friend get into danger, so I will send Ling out of the Konoha Forest first and let her stay away from this dangerous place.

Then they followed the mark left by Minato. The ninjas from the Land of Lightning might not have realized that they had been exposed. Minato had been following them for a long time and had left marks behind, so their progress was not fast.

Soon I caught up with Minato and discovered the Cloud Ninjas in front of me. They were a standard ninja team. One of them was holding an unconscious girl, who was Uzumaki Kushina.

Minato saw me catching up and his eyes lit up: "The other side has one Jonin and three Chunins, and the Kumo Ninja is known for his physical skills, so it will be difficult to save them."

I pondered for a moment: "With the reaction speed of a physical training type jonin, it is basically impossible to complete the rescue by surprise. We can only attack head-on."

"I will go out and attract the other party's attention later. After I hold back the Kumo-nin jonin, with your speed, it should be no problem to rescue people from the other chuunin."
