Naruto from the legend of water and sky

"Then, here should be..." Later that day, Jiraiya was discussing matters with him in Minato's tent, but was suddenly interrupted by a cough in the middle of the conversation.

"Ahem——" Minato suddenly covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

"Hey, Minato, are you alright?" Jiraiya asked with concern, "Lately, your complexion seems to be very bad, how are you?"

"It's okay, teacher." Minato smiled weakly, "Go ahead."

"Oh..." Zilai also turned around worriedly and continued to analyze, "Then..."

……

"Minato-sama, I'm Chiba." A soft female voice sounded from outside the tent, "I'm here to bring you tea."

"Come in." Minato replied.

The one who walked in through the curtain was Ninja Chiba Yuxiang, the attendant maid of Minato. Seeing that Jilai was also there, she greeted each of them, poured a cup of tea for each of them and put them on the table. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Sweat was dripping from Minato's head, and he spoke with concern: "Master Minato, is there something uncomfortable about you?"

The "attendant ninjas" like Chiba, who are assigned to the ninjas in special positions, more or less know some medical ninjutsu, so they can immediately see the strangeness of Minato.

Chiba put her hand on Minato's forehead to test the temperature, and exclaimed, "Master Minato, you have a fever!"

"Well, it's just a little fever, it's not a big deal." Minato said indifferently.

"You still say it's okay? It's already a high fever above 39 degrees, how can you say it's okay!" Chiba performed medical ninjutsu to make a diagnosis, and said angrily, "Please pay attention to your health! If it is because of health problems If something goes wrong, those of us responsible for your care will be in trouble."

"Minato, is it really all right?" Jiraiya asked.

"Hehe, it's okay teacher, Chiba is just making a fuss." Minato said with a dry smile, "Let's continue."

"No, you shouldn't be too tired now, you should have a good rest!" As Minato's "servant", Chiba is well known for his strength in dealing with his health.

"I'm really fine!" Minato rejected Chiba's kindness.

"Minato, Chiba is right, you should take a good rest now, don't try to be brave!" Jiraiya suddenly interjected rather seriously, "As a ninja, you must take good care of your body so that you can take on missions at any time. state, this, I think you should be very clear! And you also understand how important the next task is!"

"...Alright then." Minato thought for a while before agreeing.

After arranging Minato to rest, Jiraiya exited the tent, called Chiba aside and asked, "Minato, how is he?"

"Actually..." Qianye said hesitantly, "...Mizumon-sama forbids me to tell others that his health is very bad, and he has been suffering from low-grade fever recently..."

"So..." Jiraiya showed a pensive look on his face, and told Chiba, "You have to take good care of Minato."

"Yes." Qianye replied respectfully, and left as well.

……

Jiraiya paced around in the tent by himself, quite agitated, and after a while, Saito came to visit.

After the two sat down as guest and host, Saito asked, "Master Ziraiya, what's the matter with calling me here?"

"Saito," Jiraiya said seriously, "I have a very important task for you to do."

Seeing Jiraiya's serious face, Saito replied seriously, "But according to my lord's orders, my subordinates will definitely obey!"

"Very good!" Jiraiya sighed with relief, and said, "Saito, Minato is sick now, so I plan to let you complete the task for him." After finishing speaking, he stared at his face, looked at his reaction.

The "Yellow Flash" mission - me to do it? !Saito became cautious, contrary to the ninja's normal state of "only obedience", and asked cautiously: "May I ask... Master Jiraiya, what kind of mission is it?"

"It's a very important task, and it will even determine the situation of the entire battle! Of course, it's also very dangerous! Are you willing to go?" Jiraiya's expression was extremely serious.

……

Saito tightened his fist on his lap, nervous and excited.I was nervous because I was afraid that I would not be able to complete such a difficult task; what I was excited about was Jiraiya's trust in him - he was actually sent to complete such an important task, and it was to replace the "Yellow Flash"!He lowered his head and respectfully accepted the order: "This subordinate will definitely do his best and swear to complete the task!"

"Don't be so nervous." Ji Lai also smiled and said relaxedly, "I will also participate in this mission."

Jiraiya's words are undoubtedly the best reassurance. Saito couldn't help but relax a little when he heard the words, but he couldn't help but feel even more confused - what kind of mission is it that requires Jiraiya, one of the "Three Ninjas"? Adults and "Yellow Flash" dispatched at the same time?

"But... Master Jiraiya, what happened here...?" Saito asked doubts.

"Oh, well, there will be Minato to take care of us after we leave, so don't worry." Jiraiya has great trust in Minato's ability, even if he is still ill, he doesn't have any worries about it, and there will be no one here. What a big danger.

……

As soon as Saito returned to his tent, he immediately ordered his men to prepare secretly.

"Master, where are we going? Didn't Master Jiraiya ask you to temporarily take pictures of everything in the headquarters?" Baihui asked puzzled.

"The mission has changed." Saito said solemnly, "We will replace Minato Jonin and go out with Jiraiya-sama on missions."

"Then... where are you going? Did Master Jiraiya say something?" Baihui asked cautiously.

"West Mountain."

"Xishan? What are you going to do in such a deserted place?!" Baihui turned up her volume a little.

"Hush, keep your voice down!" Saito reprimanded in a low voice, "This is a secret! Master Jiraiya only told me this, saying that the specific order will be issued after arriving at the place. You can't tell me that I can't tell others. Anyone can tell!"

"Yes, this subordinate understands!" Baihui replied.

"You go down and get ready first, you'll be leaving tomorrow night." Saito waved Baie back.After he left, Saito sat alone for a few tables, spread out the map and frowned in thought—Xishan?There are no enemy strongholds there, and there is no value for fighting. There are only monsters and poisonous insects... Why did Master Jiraiya go there?And it was said to be kept secret, but as soon as the team leaves tomorrow, they will be discovered the morning after tomorrow at most...

... Xishan...

Saito stared at the map and pondered carefully, and suddenly remembered the jasper flute he saw in the water gate room—could it be...? !

……

"...take the initiative to attack Iwanin, and cut down their strength at once!" What Jiraiya said before suddenly broke into Saito's mind, he held the map in both hands excitedly, and muttered to himself, "Hehe, So...it must be...it must be...!"...wait, Minato Kamijino won't go, so...?

……

Xishan is like a "no man's land" around Konoha, where countless ferocious monsters live, and it is difficult for people to pass through.However, regardless of the dense forest surrounding it, there is a rugged path in the mountain that can pass through the high mountains and reach the interior of the land of earth, so the mountain is also called "Jade Belt Mountain".
