Konoha's Destiny Twins

"Aren't you on the frontal battlefield in the west? Why are you here suddenly?" Qingshui asked strangely, "And why aren't you wearing an ANBU uniform?"

Minato was wearing Konoha's iconic dark green vest, which was a uniform only for jounin, which also meant that he was on a routine mission.

The details and results of such tasks can be made public. Unlike various ANBU missions, whether they succeed or fail, they will always be hidden in the darkness and not known to outsiders.

"Now to the west, Orochimaru-senpai has suppressed Sunagakure's attack from the front. In the southwest, the situation is more complicated. At the same time, Lord Hokage gave me a new mission, which is a regular S-level mission."

It turned out that before Vinci's rescue team arrived at the large force of Konoha ninjas to the west, Konoha had already discovered the clues in the southwest canyon.

Today's Konoha has found out: a camp for about two Sunagakure ninja legions was found near the canyon. The specific number of people depends on the size of the camp.

So on the one hand, the top management of Konoha immediately transferred two legions of Konoha ninjas from Platycodon City to Fallen Leaf City. Together with the two legions of Konoha ninjas originally stationed in Fallen Leaf City, it was planned to send a total of one ninja army with more than a thousand people. Go and annihilate the two Sunagakure legions and regain the lost southwest canyon.

On the other hand, how did Sunagakure sneak around Konoha's defenses and set up two legions' temporary camps behind them?

The top management of Konoha has no way of knowing the root cause of all this until now. This is the most terrifying thing in war. The enemy can actually appear behind you without knowing it.

Therefore, after discussions among Konoha's top brass, it was decided that the Sandaime Hokage would send his most trusted and reliable disciple, Namikaze Minato to complete this arduous task.

In short, Minato's mission was to investigate how Sunagakure was able to camp near the canyon and where they came from.

And investigating the truth of all this is also Qingshui's original intention.

Of course that was before...

Although he also has certain feelings for Konoha, now that he has confirmed that there are really so many Sunagakure ninjas in the canyon, he really doesn't dare to carry out such an investigative mission that is close to death.

And who knows if more Sunagakure ninjas will emerge.

Also, who said that if you follow Namikaze Minato, you will definitely survive until the end of the third war? !

Are you talking about comics from past lives? !

But there was no April Qingshui in the comics of the previous life!

The butterfly effect must have been there since he appeared in this world, but I don’t know how much the world has been changed after 20 years of influence?

And no matter who is careless on the battlefield, the only outcome will be death.

Qing Shui has never underestimated the cruelty of war. Having experienced the Second Ninja War, he has a deep understanding of the ruthlessness of war.

"So you don't want me to go with you, do you?" Qingshui really didn't want to hear that answer.

"You still understand me." Minato smiled heartily.

"No... just the two of us? There are at least 500 Sunagakure ninjas in the canyon now." He felt a headache.

The more complete the corps establishment is, the more complete the reconnaissance and vigilance capabilities are.

It's simple to think about going deep behind enemy lines to investigate the enemy's situation. But once discovered, how many enemies will they face? !

How to escape from the regular Sunagakure ninja army with powerful detection and tracking capabilities? !

"Of course not. Akimichi Yoshimaru and Nikaido Naoko also participated in this mission. They were transferred from Kikyo City and are still on the way."

Akimichi Yoshimaru and Nikaido Naoko were both jounin of Konoha, the same age as Minato and Shimizu.

The former Akimichi Yoshimaru is a member of Konoha's wealthy Akimichi clan. He has extremely powerful physical skills.

Moreover, he was promoted to Jonin at the age of only 15 and was hailed as the rising star of the Akimichi clan. His current strength has reached the level of an elite Jonin.

Although the latter Naoko Nikaidou was born into a civilian family, she was extremely skilled in medical ninjutsu and was extremely good at earth escape ninjutsu. She was also young and was promoted to jounin at the age of 17.

The two can be said to be quite reliable teammates.

The three of them, with Minato as their captain, have completed countless difficult tasks, and their cooperation is absolutely flawless.

Moreover, these three people are all students taught by Jiraiya himself, that is, members of Jiraiya's class.

Will the students taught by Jiraiya himself be inferior in strength?

More importantly, it has a strong political meaning.

A routine task. Isn't this an opportunity for Watergate to gain political capital? !

If I miss this time, it will be a long time before I get another opportunity to gain such merit.

Shimizu needed this opportunity to increase his influence in Konoha.

This is a good pavement for him to build his own power in the future. Influence and hard power make it easier to convince people.

And power is also a type of strength!

Now that he has made up his mind to join this mission, Qingshui naturally has to comprehensively evaluate this mission: Is the current team of four like them enough to deal with various emergencies in the canyon?

"Is there a detective ninja missing?" Qingshui knew that even such a team would be as cold as dumplings.

Because being surrounded by dozens of people and being suppressed by hundreds of people are completely different concepts.

Before your strength reaches a considerable height, facing more than two digits of jounin at the same time, the exhaustion can kill you.

"My perception ability is good. Generally speaking, I act as a detective ninja."

"What's the approximate distance you perceive?"

"Almost 350 meters."

He is obviously a DPS, but he can still pierce his eyes. Minato is indeed a bug.

And compared to Qingshui’s 144 meters, it can indeed be proud of.

Because even for ninjas who are generally good at perception, the general distance is only about 300 meters.

But there is a more suitable candidate here in Qingshui.

"I have a jounin from the Hyuga clan here. You can call her. The straight line sight range is more than 1.5 kilometers."

"1.5 kilometers?! Then it's her!" Minato said without hesitation.

"But she is a member of the ANBU's third brigade and is not subject to our control."

"I have an order from Lord Hokage to recruit any Konoha ninja."

"That's no problem, it's her."

The two happily decided on Mercury's next move.

Qingshui continued: "Her code name is Mercury. She is a member of the 3rd Battalion and 4th Team of the Konoha ANBU First Legion. You can find her directly. However, she is now exhausted of chakra. It will take one to two days to recover. .”

"That's just right. Akimichi Yoshimaru and Nikaidou Naoko will be here in two days. I'll go find this ninja from the Hyuga clan first."

"good."

With that, Minato disappeared.

"Hey, wait?! I forgot to ask about the Wind Release Chakra..."
