Konoha Ninja Warrior

After Tokugawa Yukimura saw Namikaze Minato appearing, he realized why Orochimaru decisively withdrew when they had the upper hand. It seems that he somehow got the message that the Fourth Hokage would come to support him.

"Sorry, I'm late." Namikaze Minato said with some guilt. He looked at the completely destroyed terrain. From the disappearing hill and the huge deep pit that suddenly appeared, he could see how serious the previous battle was. fierce.

"We were misled by a special clone of Orochimaru, and even the root ninjas were treated as abandoned by him." Namikaze Minato said with some annoyance, "The enemy you encountered is Orochimaru."

"Hokage-sama, we encountered three members of the Akatsuki organization, including Orochimaru." Sarutobi Asuma propped up his body and said with some fear: "If it hadn't been for Yukimura's outbreak, we would all have died in the line of duty. However, Under their interference, Nanao broke the seal and escaped."

Speaking of this, Sarutobi Asma lowered his head. As the captain of the team, he is very responsible for the failure of such a mission.

"No, it's not Asma's fault." Shiranui Genma, the fourth Hokage's guard, stepped forward and said, and he told Namikaze Minato about what happened here from an objective point of view, " A large part of the reason for such a situation is that the enemy's combat power has exceeded our imagination, it is better to say that keeping the casualties at such a low level is the best result."

"I'll talk about the responsibility for the matter later, and now our priority is the treatment of the wounded." Namikaze Minato said seriously, "Taki Shinobi Village has suffered such a big blow, we should do our best to help our allies tide over the difficulties."

Under the command of Namikaze Minato, all the ninjas immediately put into the search and rescue work, and those terrified Taki Shinobi were also organized.

The damage suffered by Takinobu Village was mainly caused by Shigeaki Nanao's first tailed beast jade. Although it did not directly hit Takinobu Village, the shock waves and huge waves it brought destroyed all the houses along the Great Lakes. During the search and rescue process During the process, they found that many villagers were crushed under the bricks and rubble, and most of them had been killed.

Fortunately, they fished out the leader of Taki Ninja Village, Takagi, from the surface of the lake. Although Takagi withstood a frontal blow from Nanao, he still managed to survive despite taking the Hero Water at the time.

But Tokugawa Yukimura looked at the other person's gray hair and knew that the price he paid was also very heavy. In addition, when he saw the dilapidated Taki Ninja Village and the sacred tree with only one stump left, the damage to his body and soul made him look... Suddenly aged by dozens of years.

"Thank you Naruto-sama for your assistance to Taki Ninja Village." Takagi said looking at Konoha Ninja who was busy treating the wounded.

"Our Konoha and Taki Shinobi Village are allies, and this time is also within the scope of our mission." Namikaze Minato said apologetically, "But this time it is indeed our Konoha Ninja's negligence, and we will treat Taki Shinobi in the future. The village will give some compensation.”

"Speaking of this, Master Takagi, why Nanao broke the seal so quickly, and it is not an accident that can explain clearly why the staff of the previous sealing class were poisoned." Tokugawa Yukimura suddenly interjected and questioned .

"This," Takagi was also very angry when talking about this matter, but many members of the sealing class also saw it when Shisha released Nanao, so he couldn't hide it, "It was the hands and feet of our Takinoshi Murakami Shisha, It seems that he didn't get out of the incident of Renzhuli's rampage, the sacrifice of his wife and children made him full of resentment towards the village and the tailed beast, that's why he did such a thing."

Tokugawa Yukimura's doubts made Konoha's responsibilities much smaller. Sarutobi Asma glanced at him gratefully, knowing that Tokugawa Yukimura was helping him speak.

"No matter what, we in Konoha will promise to do our best to hunt down the Nanao." Namikaze Minato said firmly, "Konoha will always be a staunch ally of Taki Ninja Village in the future."

But Tokugawa Yukimura could tell from Takagi's expression that he no longer had any expectations for finding Nanao, so he just thanked him politely.

After the conversation ended, Tokugawa Yukimura pulled Namikaze Minato aside and whispered: "Brother Minato, I have a way to find traces of Nanao."

Namikaze Minato's eyes lit up after hearing this. With the help of Konoha, Takinobu Village lost Nanao, which undoubtedly made Konoha's reputation drop a lot. If Nanao can be captured, it will definitely recover a lot of losses.

Seeing Namikaze Minato's questioning look, Tokugawa Yukimura said with some pride: "During the battle, in order to prevent Nanao from escaping, I specially pierced it with a flying thunder god kunai."

"That's it!" Namikaze Minato immediately formed a seal. In his perception of time and space, there was a Flying Thunder God mark several hundred meters high in the sky, and it was still moving rapidly.

"Well done, Yukimura." Minato Namikaze patted Tokugawa Yukimura on the shoulder, "I'm going to gather people now to discuss the plan to capture Nanao."

"Hey, don't worry, Brother Minato." Tokugawa Yukimura grabbed Namikaze Minato who wanted to leave, "Before capturing Nanao, I think we need to think about how to deal with it after capturing it."

"What do you mean?" Namikaze Minato thought of something and asked thoughtfully.

"What I mean is the choice of the Jinchuuriki, or to put it bluntly, whether to give Nanao Katsura to the Taki Ninja Village." Tokugawa Yukimura said solemnly.

"The reason why the first generation of Naruto distributed Nanao to Taki Ninja Village was not only the strength of Taki Ninja Village at that time, but also the meaning of appeasing other small Ninja Villages." Tokugawa Yukimura explained, "But now the tail beast has been organized by Akatsuki. Focused on, this time the manpower sent by the Akatsuki organization is not what Takinobu Village can deal with. Now Takinobu Village doesn't even have the hole card of the hero water, even if Nanao is returned to them, the only result is to be robbed by the Akatsuki organization past."

Namikaze Minato looked at the devastated Taki Ninja Village, and understood that what Tokugawa Yukimura said was true.I don't know how long it will take for the current Takinobu Village to return to its previous level, let alone reach the level of being able to own tailed beasts aboveboard.

"What do you want Yukimura?" Namikaze Minato looked into Tokugawa Yukimura's eyes and asked. He knew that since the other party pulled him over to talk about this alone, he must have his own demands.

"It's nothing serious, Brother Minato." Tokugawa Yukimura said with his white teeth showing, "I just recommend myself to become the Jinchūriki of the Seven-Tails."
