"But why would the Jinchuriki leave the village?"
Minato was puzzled. The Jinchuriki was a nuclear weapon of a big country, and they would never let them out.
Chika knew that this guy seemed to have left the Land of Earth because he had a bad relationship with the Third Tsuchikage Onoki.
I didn't expect it to be at this juncture.
And the Third Tsuchikage naturally couldn't let the Jinchuriki leave the village alone.
So he secretly sent ninjas to capture him, but he didn't expect that they would be stopped by them by mistake.
The most important thing is that their identity as Konoha ninjas was clearly told to the Iwagakure.
If this matter is not handled well, it will be a war.
Chika asked: "What should we do next, Minato-senpai?"
"Take it back, it's all in your hands. Even if you go back now and say that we made a mistake, those crazy Iwagakure won't believe it."
Minato rubbed his eyebrows and felt that it would be better for the village to handle this matter.
Generally speaking, if you want to target the Jinchūriki of another country, you will do it in secret. Even if you are discovered, you will say something like "it's not me, I just picked it up while strolling on the roadside".
As long as there is no flaw in the open, the other party has no choice but to swallow the bitter pill and spend money to redeem the Jinchūriki.
Of course, another option is to start a war. As long as you win, you can not only get the Jinchūriki back, but also get war compensation.
But no one who is more rational will make this choice, after all, there are five major countries in the ninja world.
A single move can affect the whole body.
But the problem now is that the four-tailed Jinchūriki was taken away by Chika and the other two in front of the rock ninja. Even if it is a delicate and weak girl, she will not suffer such a loss, let alone the hot-tempered Third Tsuchikage.
He will even use this as an excuse to counterattack Konoha.
Of course, this is not a problem that Chika and others need to consider. They just need to take this trouble back.
Leave the headache to the Third Hokage.
What is the Kage of a village? Of course, it is to take the blame.
Chika and the other two have already discussed that if they are caught by the Rock Ninja in advance, they will say that it was the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen who asked them to do so!
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "." I thank your whole family!
They can't stay in the Land of Hot Water anymore. Chika and the other two are going to travel overnight and try to get back to Konoha Village in the shortest time.
As for Chika and the other two's B-level mission to bring Jiraiya back.
To some extent, they have already completed it.
In the Land of Hot Water, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki was taken away by the Konoha ninja, and the Rock Ninja will definitely block the Land of Hot Water as solid as a rock.
Not to mention the Konoha ninja, even the flies that flew over from the Land of Fire will be caught and interrogated, and then beaten to death on the spot.
Jiraiya will definitely not be able to stay under such martial law.
While Chika and the other two were rushing back, Minato had to suffer again. He felt his body was hollowed out from using the Flying Thunder God Technique to travel.
When he returned to Konoha, he looked skinny again.
Hokage's office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the dusty Chika and the other two in surprise, and then paid special attention to Minato's expression.
Tsk tsk, it's exactly the same as when he came back from the Land of Rivers.
What? When I asked you to find someone, there was still a little surprise?
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at the Four-Tails Jinchuriki who was tied up again, raised his eyebrows and said: "Hey, you guys tied Jiraiya back?"
Before Minato could explain, Hiruzen said in a gratified tone: "Not bad, tied up well! Jiraiya, this bastard is really not a worry-free person!"
He thought that Jiraiya was unwilling to come back, and Minato killed his relatives for the sake of justice and directly tied him back.
However, Minato quickly broke his fantasy and said: "Third-generation Hokage, this is not Jiraiya-sensei."
"Huh? who is that?"
Hiruzen's face was confused, and then asked: "Wait, what accident did you encounter again?"
"That... Third-generation Hokage, please listen to our explanation."
Minato heard that and his face was full of embarrassment.
He did not hide it and told Hiruzen everything.
When Hiruzen heard that the four-tailed Jinchūriki was inside this human cocoon, his hand stroking his beard shook and pulled out a tuft of beard.
Tear!
He grinned at Chika and the other two.
If I remember correctly, they brought back two swords from the Seven Ninja Swords of the Land of Water for the first time.
Now they have brought back the Four-tailed Jinchūriki of the Land of Earth.
What will it be next time, a Kage?
When Minato and Kakashi formed a team, Hiruzen had never seen Minato's team so powerful.
How come the chemical reaction between the three of them is so strong after adding Chika?
Hiruzen pulled down his bamboo hat, and with a hint of expectation in his tone, he asked, "Minato, are you going to take a few days off before setting off on the mission? How about going to the Land of Lightning this time? The Third Raikage, that bastard, called me an old man a few days ago. I'm looking forward to him coming to Konoha as a guest."
Chika and the other two rolled their eyes at Sarutobi Hiruzen
when they heard this. Do you think we are the Dragon Balls? Can we make wishes come true?
"Ahem, let's talk business. Who is this Four-Tails Jinchuriki?"
Hiruzen also has information about the Jinchuriki of various countries, but basically there are several suspected characters, and few are confirmed.
Among them, no one knows who the Four-Tails Jinchuriki is.
So Sarutobi Hiruzen also became curious at this moment.
"Third Hokage, I have never seen this person, so I don't know who he is."
Minato said after hearing this, and then untied the bandages of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki.
"I have already put the Four Symbols Seal on him, and with the sealing technique he already has, he should not be able to remove the seal."
In this regard, Sarutobi Hiruzen also trusted Minato's sealing technique. When he saw the person inside, he suddenly realized: "It is old Zi. The other party is indeed a more suspicious one in our intelligence."
As he said, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already stood up and put his hand on old Zi.
Finding that old Zi had been put on a lot of sealing techniques, Sarutobi Hiruzen made sure that old Zi would not remove the seal, and then used chakra to remove old Zi's sleeping state.
"Onoki, you bastard, don't even think about me."
old Zi began to curse the Third Tsuchikage as soon as he woke up, and before he finished speaking, he saw a smiling old face, but it was definitely not the face of the Third Tsuchikage.
And according to the word "fire" on the bamboo hat, old Zi was immediately confused.
I just took a nap, and the Land of Earth was conquered by the Land of Fire?
Old Zi looked around in disbelief, strange rooms, strange people.
The only similarity was the old fox-like smile of the Third Hokage, which was exactly the same as that of Onoki.
Old Zi breathed a sigh of relief, well, he came to the wrong place.
