The three of them moved very quickly, taking Kushina with them and evacuating far away.
They are not stupid. They will not let down their guard just because Konoha has been invaded by others and attracted attention away from them.
They will not relax until they successfully leave the Land of Fire with Kushina.
Although he swore that, he was still a little excited due to the success of this mission, and did not notice Kushina's little movements.
Kushina followed the three of them obediently, but secretly threw her distinct long red hair on the ground, leaving clues in the hopes that someone would find her traces.
But at the same time, she is a little pessimistic. After all, I am just an foreigner, I fear that no one will risk their lives to save me, an outsider.
It was a quiet night, dark clouds covered the moon, and the road in the forest seemed particularly dim. Experienced ninjas always maintain caution in such an environment.
Suddenly, an afterimage passed by, and a Kumogakure ninja disappeared.
"What's going on!"
The other two people turned around and only saw their companions lying on the ground, incapacitated.
The next moment, another person fell.
The Special Jōnin, who was leading the team, realised that someone was conducting a sneak attack utilising poor visibility.
They were careless, they were so drunk on their success that they didn't realize that someone was tracking them.
The leading Jōnin, feeling anxious, quickly jumped and hid in a tree. Observing the surroundings carefully and vigilantly.
But he didn't notice the figure coming from behind.
Minato made a clean move, hitting the man on the back of the head.
With one successful blow, the person instantly lost consciousness and fell from the treetops.
After successfully defeating all the enemies, Minato jumped down from the tree.
At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing the moon. The moonlight shone, highlighting Minato's dashing figure saving Kushina like a gallant knight saving a damsel in distress.
"You're not hurt? I'm here to save you."
Kushina, who was forced to run wildly all night by three Kumogakure ninjas, sluggishly raised her head and looked forward. Only then did she notice that the ninjas from Kumogakure disappeared, and a boy she knew was holding her gently.
Seeing Minato coming to save her, Kushina smiled in surprise, but after relaxing, she suddenly felt tired and collapsed.
After being kidnapped, and subjected to intense running, she was exhausted both mentally and physically.
Minato hurriedly stepped forward and helped Kushina.
"It's okay now. I'll take you back to the village."
As he spoke, he picked it up.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Kushina wanted to say something else, but Minato jumped up and rushed out of the woods with her, carrying her in a princess carry.
Under the moonlight, Kushina carefully observed her future husband in front of her. engraving all his perfect features under the moonlight in her heart.
"As expected of you, Minato, flirting with girls under the moonlight."
Tetsuya, who had finished his acting skills with Sarutobi Hiruzen and co, rushed over immediately. It was better to arrive early than to arrive too late. He arrived just in time to see an Egg flirting with a Tomato under the moon.
"Very good. This is quite the show. The only thing not reasonable in the plot is the strength of these two Chūnin and one Jōnin."
As he spoke, he came to the three ninjas who collapsed on the ground, looked at them carefully, and kicked them twice.
"Minato didn't kill huh, just knocked them unconscious? As expected of you, Minato, you really are a little sun. Unfortunately, to be good to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself."
Tetsuya took out three kunai from his pocket, threw them casually, and accurately pierced the hearts of the three ninjas.
In order to better implement his next plan, the only people who can successfully return alive from this mission are the two idiots Yeluka and Yurubi.
After cutting grass and removing the roots for Minato, Tetsuya turned around and left, heading to the meeting point first to wait for other Kumogakure ninjas who could potentially come back alive.
In Konoha's Hokage Building, in the conference room, Konoha's four oldies gathered again with the Konoha Sannin.
Danzo immediately started the conversation with a shout.
"Hiruzen, the village was attacked just after the war ended. This is your dereliction of duty as a Hokage!"
Danzo is still the same Danzo, he has never given up impeaching Sarutobi Hiruzen and electing himself as the Hokage.
"Okay Danzo, please stop spraying nonsense. No one expected the enemy to attack."
It was Mito who spoke out to smooth things over.
"It's getting late. The village has just been attacked and it needs to be repaired tomorrow. If you need anything, just tell Hiruzen."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at everyone present and said.
"Everyone, I already know who the person who attacked the village."
"Who is it?"
"That person is Kagami, Uchiha Kagami."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
When he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen say that the mysterious man who attacked the village was Uchiha Kagami, Shimura Danzo stood up directly, slammed the table and shouted.
"Uchiha Kagami is dead! He is already dead! How can a dead person be resurrected!"
"Danzo, are you questioning me?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen also responded unceremoniously.
"Danzo, Hiruzen, you two should calm down and discuss amicably."
"That's right. Let's talk carefully. let's no resort to screaming and violence yeah?"
Although the paddling duo were a little surprised, they didn't really believe that the dead could be resurrected, but rather than yelling like Danzo, they wanted to find out what was happening.
"Hiruzen, please explain to us clearly, why are you so sure that that person is Uchiha Kagami? Do you have evidence to support your claim?"
Danzo sat down and stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi with his only remaining eye. He wanted to hear what nonsense this Monkey would say.
"Actually, I had already begun to suspect that the masked man named A Fei was Kagami as early as the last time Jiraiya and the others came back."
Sarutobi Hiruzen gave the reason why he judged that the opponent was a Kagami.
First of all, Kagami's body was scattered outside and was not recovered. We are not sure whether or not he died.
Next, the masked man seems to be very familiar with me and calls himself monkey. The only people who call him monkey are the group of people following the Second Hokage.
And that person is an Uchiha, or an Uchiha who is very familiar with the village.
Moreover, not many people outside Konoha knew that the Sealed Book existed, and as soon as that person arrived, he went straight to the Hokage Building to look for the Sealed Book.
as well as...
Sarutobi Hiruzen expressed his thoughts one by one.
The paddling duo nodded repeatedly, feeling that it made sense.
"The most important thing is that when I revealed the identity of the masked man and called out Uchiha Kagami's name, he reacted very loudly and strongly denied that he was Uchiha Kagami.
This just further convinced me that the person hiding behind the mask is the Kagami. "
Sarutobi Hiruzen said and looked at Sannin.
"Jiraiya and the others can also testify to this last point. They also saw it at that time."
Jiraiya and the other three nodded, proving that what their teacher said was true. At that time, the masked man's reaction was indeed great.
At the same time, Jiraiya added.
"Now that I think about it carefully, the masked man must be very familiar with the village. He evacuated in a direction with fewer people in the village, and during the battle, he also deliberately avoided places with many people.
Obviously, that person had some feelings for the village. "
Orochimaru continued to add.
"That person is very strong. Although it pains me to say it, when that person fought against us, he never made a killing blow. It was more like giving guidance to the incompetent juniors."
