"Restrain the Wood Style boy?"
Hearing this news, Madara Uchiha's mood fluctuated violently.
In the Ninja World, there is such an ability?
If I had this ability back then, I would be able to defeat Hashirama with one hand.
"Is there any more detailed information?" Madara asked urgently.
"It is said that it is because the boy is lonely and often talks to the jujube tree," White Zetsu replied.
"Lonely? Jujube tree? Nonsense!"
Madara Uchiha shook his head.
How could this ability be obtained by chatting with plants? If this were the case, it should also appear in the farmers who cultivate the field.
"That boy has a big secret!"
Muttering to himself, Madara's heart welled up with a strong thirst for knowledge.
"Find a way to capture that boy back."
Konohagakure. Hokage Building Conference Room.
Terada Taro, the messenger of Kumogakure, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Danzō sat in the meeting room.
"Hokage-sama, this is a letter from Master Raikage."
Terada Taro handed over a letter with a slightly arrogant tone.
He deliberately avoided the respectful title of 'you', directly separating the status of the Raikage and the Hokage.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't react to this but quickly scanned the contents of the letter.
"Huh? That's Raikage's condition?"
Seeing the conditions raised by Raikage, Sarutobi Hiruzen found them comical.
The opponent's condition was to let Namikaze Minato lead Team Minato to fight Iwagakure?
In exchange, Kumogakure would temporarily not enter the Land of Fire.
Danzō on the side also saw the content clearly and frowned.
"Hiruzen, Raikage's move is likely for Yamato," Danzō reminded in a low voice.
As soon as the Wood Style Ninja in the village was revealed, Cloud Shinobi put forward such a condition. They clearly wanted Yamato to die on the battlefield.
Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed with this point.
"I can agree to this condition," Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and agreed directly.
"Oh? That's great." Terada Taro stood up, ending the brief negotiation.
After Terada Taro left, Danzō said, "Hiruzen, that's a Wood Style Ninja, and he hasn't grown up yet."
"Danzō, if I remember correctly, Yamato's file hasn't been handed over to me yet?" Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled.
"You mean?"
"I haven't filed this yet, which means that Yamato is not yet an official member of Team Minato, do you understand?"
After speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "Actually, I don't need to be reminded by the messenger of Cloud Shinobi. I also planned to let Minato lead the team to the Land of Grass."
"According to intelligence, Iwagakure already has vanguard troops crossing the Land of Grass."
In Sarutobi Hiruzen's view, Kumogakure's terms of exchange were beneficial to Konoha.
He would definitely agree to such a favorable term.
Leaving the conference room, Sarutobi Hiruzen summoned Namikaze Minato.
"Minato, the vanguard of Iwagakure has appeared in the Land of Grass."
"The situation is urgent. You and Team Minato must leave immediately."
"Your task is: use all means to destroy the Iwagakure forces in the Land of Grass."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was encouraging.
To be honest, Namikaze Minato found this task difficult to comprehend.
Lead Team Minato by myself to the Land of Grass? Annihilate Iwagakure?
It was almost like fighting the whole of Iwagakure.
"Just me and Team Minato?" Namikaze Minato asked again.
"Minato, the current combat power in the village is very strained…"
Namikaze Minato left.
When Team Minato assembled again, Yamato was gone.
Training Ground No. 9.
Looking at Akira Tsubaki who came late, Namikaze Minato didn't question the reason.
After all, the rest period was too short, and being late was inevitable.
"Our mission this time is to go to the Land of Grass and stop Iwagakure!"
After Namikaze Minato finished speaking, Team Minato collectively looked around.
"Sensei, where are the other teams?" Obito looked puzzled.
Such a big task—why don't I see other teams?
"Don't look. There's only Team Minato," Namikaze Minato shook his head.
"Huh?"
Everyone was stunned.
Only Akira Tsubaki had his hands in his pockets, casually, as if he had expected it.
"But, I'm afraid I can't even beat one Iwagakure Ninja~~" Rin muttered in a low voice.
"I seem to be in the same boat," Yūgao Uzuki agreed, feeling that she and Rin shared the same dire situation.
"No guts," Anko curled her lips, though she was also very nervous.
"Let's go! As for Ninja tools, you can supply them at the supply stations along the way."
Namikaze Minato was also very helpless and led the team to set off.
Just half an hour after Team Minato's departure.
Danzō, having assisted Sarutobi Hiruzen with some business, walked out of the Hokage Building.
Whoosh!
A Root Ninja appeared instantly and approached Danzō.
"Lord Danzō, the investigation has concluded."
"Oh?" Danzō turned his head and gestured.
"A young man was seen entering Namikaze Minato's home at noon yesterday."
"Young man?" Danzō was taken aback.
"Yes! Here is a portrait."
As he spoke, the Root Ninja handed over a portrait.
Danzō scanned the portrait and froze in place.
This portrait was none other than his little gold medal undercover agent—
"Akira Tsubaki?"
