Picked up a copy of Konoha Ninja

"Sarutobi-sensei."

"Teacher Bluebird."

For a moment, the six young ninjas lying nearby all burst into tears. They all graduated from the ninja class led by Sarutobi Aotori, and they were the ones who felt the most pain in their hearts at this time.

"Damn it, those Sand Ninjas actually escaped." Kai glanced angrily at the Sand Ninjas who were retreating quickly in the distance, and was about to pursue them as soon as he stepped down.

"Kai, don't be impulsive." Namikaze Minato stopped him in a flash.

"We are all sad about Aotori-senpai, but there are many enemies. If we want to take revenge, we have no chance now." Namikaze Minato felt the shoulder he was pressing tremble, and looked at the person who was already crying with pain. Metkai said, "But the reinforcements from our village will arrive here soon, Kai, the war between us Konoha and Sunagakure has already broken out. In the future, we will have the opportunity to avenge Aotori-senpai, and it won't be too far." .”

"I understand, Minato-sensei." Kai nodded heavily and saw Namikaze Minato approaching a few people, "Now I will temporarily take over Kai's Class 9. Everyone, please evacuate temporarily and return to the direction of the capital of Kawa no Kuni."

"Yes."

The group of people each picked up the wounded and began to retreat. After retreating no more than twenty or thirty miles, they encountered Nara Shikaku and others who had arrived with reinforcements.

"Swish, swish, swish", looking at the densely packed large number of Konoha ninjas, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but get excited.

"Minato, how's the situation?" Nara Shikaku jumped to Namikaze Minato, glanced at the broken jounin vest on his body and the several gauze bandages on his thighs, and asked with a solemn expression.

"The Anbu team led by Lord White Fang is currently confirmed to have been sacrificed. The jounin Sarutobi Aotori of the ninth team responsible for the rescue was killed in battle. Their bodies were all brought back. All three ANBU members of the search and rescue team were injured, and they are all in later."

Nara Shikaku sighed, "Did even the blue bird die?"

"We encountered Rasa, the next Kazekage successor of Sunagakure, and nearly two hundred Sunagakure puppet troops. They also had dozens of casualties. Rasa is currently out of power and injured."

"Thank you, Minato." Shikaku Nara patted his shoulder, "Do you know the direction in which the Suna ninja are currently retreating?"

Namikaze Minato perked up, "Shikaku, are you going to pursue me?"

"I have five hundred elite chunin and six jounin here, what do you think?" Nara Shikaku grinned. Konoha's speed of reinforcements has never disappointed those of them who are running on the front line.

"Then I'll set off with you."

"Minato, you should go back first. Just leave this place to us. I will only break into the area of ​​the Kingdom of Wind, which is only a few dozen miles at most. Sunagakure has currently mobilized more than 4,000 ninjas in the direction of the Kingdom of Rain. , this is almost the main force of Sunagakure Village after the Second Ninja War, and our main defensive direction should be the direction of Rain Country."

"Okay." Minato nodded heavily and led a large number of Konoha ninjas to the returning team.

"Everyone, Lord White Fang, as well as our colleague Sarutobi Aotori, have already sacrificed their lives for our Konoha." Nara Shikaku stood in the area closest to the two bodies and shouted to the surroundings at the top of his voice.

"We have to fight this time between the Fire Country and the Wind Country. They have already come to bully us. Tell me, how can we avenge Lord White Fang and Sarutobi Blue Bird?"

"Kill." For a moment, a murderous roar echoed in the forest.

"Yes, debts should be repaid with blood." Nara Shikaku pointed in the direction of the Kingdom of Wind, "Twenty miles ahead are the Sand Ninja puppet troops. Now I give the order for the entire army to pursue them, catch up and kill them."

"action."

"Swish, swish, swish," these elite chunin with murderous faces jumped into the air from where they were standing. Not long after, the neat team of 500 people had already left far away.

"Let's go, our battlefield is not here." Namikaze Minato commanded the team to continue to retreat. At this moment, the three Anbu Tori had fainted, and their physical strength had reached the limit. If it continued to be delayed, there was only Nohara Rin at the scene. Although the medical ninjas could ensure that they would not die, they could not deal with the hidden injuries on their bodies.

Late at night, after encountering the second wave of ninjas sent for reinforcements from the camp, the group hurriedly arrived at the ninja troop station on the front line of the Land of Rain.

"After checking the injuries of the three Anbu jounin, they are all not serious, but they need to be nursed back to health for half a month."

Namikaze Minato breathed a sigh of relief after getting the news. He was also very tired. The battle with Rasa made him feel very weak. This guy, even if he persisted until the last moment, did not let go of sneak attack on Sarutobi Bluebird.

"Minato, we haven't contacted Jiraiya-sama yet. Can you contact the contact frog? I think the Toad Sage of Mt. Myoboku can find Jiraiya-sama." Akimichi Torikaze's first reaction when he saw Namikaze Minato Time asked him this question.

"Has the situation deteriorated to this extent now?" Namikaze Minato frowned slightly. With his current apparent strength, he should be stabilizing Sunagakure Village now. Why would he recall Jiraiya who was traveling around to gather information? Also.

"Our spies in Kirigakure Village have lost the whereabouts of the seven ninja swordsmen in Kirigakure Village."

Namikaze Minato narrowed his eyes, "Did the ANBU send ninjas to patrol the coastal areas?"

"Additional manpower has been sent, but it is not enough at the moment. You should also know that after the last ninja war, we in Konoha had a few more Kage-level ninjas, which has become a big problem. Now the hatred between us and Sunagakure Village is irreconcilable. Then the only option is to start a war, and with this war, the village will inevitably be exposed to its emptiness."

"If our frontal battlefield here can end the war against Sunagakure as soon as possible, we should be able to stabilize the situation as soon as possible." Namikaze Minato hesitated and said.

Akimichi Tofeng shook his head, "Sunagakure deployed a large force in the direction of the Rain Country for two purposes. One is to contain us, and the other is to keep us in the Rain Country, a small country at the junction of the three major countries. Iwagakure Village is also involved."

Akimichi Tofaze sighed, "That fellow Sandaime Tsuchikage Onoki is very interested in the Kingdom of Wind, but relatively speaking, the one he regards as the biggest enemy should be our Konoha."

"He is a ninja who has experienced the era when the Ninja Village was established. He has seen our Konoha when it was the most powerful, and the one he fears the most is our Konoha. If there was no Yunyin Village to restrain him before, I am afraid that in the second Ninja During the world war, they took action against us."

"At present, our Anbu ninjas have not noticed any friction in the border area between Kumogakure and Iwagakure. The two major national ninja villages are patient and waiting to watch our battle."

"Sunagakure Village lost the Third Kazekage, and we Konoha lost White Fang, and both Ninja Villages lost a Kage-level combat power. This time is also regarded by them as the most empty time."

Namikaze Minato pondered for a moment, "Torifu-sama, where do I need to go to wait?"

"Your genin team is currently gathered along the coast. Currently, the merchant ships along the coast of the Country of Fire have been strictly prohibited from going to sea. The pirates at sea have been approaching the mainland to the south. If I am not mistaken, they should be Kirigakure. The vanguard of the village to test the reality."

"I understand." Namikaze Minato nodded heavily, and then asked: "The ninth team leader's jounin died. I don't know when his memorial ceremony will be held?"

"The ashes will be sent back to the village. We don't have time to hold it here. The Third Hokage ordered that we have to set off tonight and all advance to the Kingdom of Rain. Even if we reach Iwagakure Village, we must move forward. This time, Sunagakure Village must give us an explanation. We in Konoha have never been afraid of war, and we will not compromise with any ninja village that dares to take the initiative to provoke."

"Yes."

"By the way Minato, when you go down, tell those little guys that they performed very well on this mission. After returning to the village, the Third Hokage should hold a ceremony for them to be promoted to Chunin. As for the ninth class, I will leave it to you for now. ”

"Yes."

"Okay, you go down first. The next battle will be even more cruel. Having learned Master Tobirama's Flying Thunder God technique, you may have to travel back and forth to various battlefields. Minato, I hope you can protect yourself. If If you don’t want our situation in Konoha to deteriorate completely, you will have no choice but to redouble your efforts.”

"Yes." Namikaze Minato turned around and walked out of the camp. His heart was complicated. He couldn't understand the implication of Akimichi Takafu. If the three major ninja villages of Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure had participated in this ninja war, If so, then Konoha will be attacked from all sides. Konoha, which cannot resist the invasion, will have no choice but to send out the most powerful war weapon - the tailed beast.

"Currently, the Third Hokage-sama has not ordered Kushina to carry out any training. He should still wait and see the situation." Namikaze Minato raised an arm in front of his chest, holding the hand Kushina gave him before leaving. A peace charm to wear.

"Don't worry Kushina, I will protect you, absolutely."

At the same time, in the camp where the ninja troops were located, Obito looked at Nohara Lin who was busy running around in various beds, with a look of dismay on his face, "Lin, have you really been recruited by the medical ninja troops? I thought you would be next Go on a mission with us."

"It's just the past two days. Our Minato squad is one of the best elite teams in the village. The superiors should let us continue to carry out our mission." Lin glanced at a tent with a white silk hanging in the distance from the corner of her eye, parked there. Holding two bodies, Hatake Kakashi is kneeling here at this moment.

"Okay, then I'll go accompany Kakashi first." Obito walked towards the mourning hall. His mind had already drifted to the comics far away in the village. None of this seemed to match the events in the comics. .
