Konoha's Infinite Darkness

Chapter 22 Minato's Determination

Konoha Ninja Village, around eight o'clock in the evening.The sky was completely dark, only a little bit of starlight.On the street in front of Uzumaki Mito's mansion, several old-fashioned street lamps emitted a pale yellow light!

At this moment, Namikaze Minato is holding a gift with a smile on his face, walking on this road...

"I don't know if Kushina likes this. I heard from Mikoto that girls like cakes and desserts."

Namikaze Minato thought in his heart, and after a while, he came to the place where Uzumaki Kushina lived.

"Huh? Why is the door open!"

The first time he came here, Namikaze Minato saw the wide open door, and was keenly aware that something was wrong.As far as he knew, because Uzumaki Kushina lived alone, the door was usually closed at home.

Namikaze Minato frowned, and after calling Kushina's name several times to no avail, the uneasiness in his heart suddenly deepened, and at this moment, he didn't care about any etiquette, and rushed into the house directly.

"This is?"

Walking into the house, Namikaze Minato saw the dead body of Anbe ninja on the beam, and was shocked. Something happened.But after he searched the entire mansion carefully and found no Uzumaki Kushina, he was relieved and at the same time fell into deep doubts.

"According to the existing signs, Kushina should have been taken away by someone, but who are those people and why did they take Jiushina away!"

Namikaze Minato doesn't know the reason, but he also knows that in Konoha Village, it is not easy to kill Anbu ninjas and take them away forcibly.He understood that he couldn't handle this matter alone, so he turned his head and looked in the direction of Hatake Sakumo's house, and immediately made a decision in his heart.

Thinking of this, Namikaze Minato hurriedly pulled away and ran out, but just before he left the house, he quietly found a very inconspicuous corner, a fiery red hair lying quietly That, in the dim light, is so beautiful!
Konoha Ninja Village, Hokage Building.

This is the most central area of ​​the entire Konoha Village, and it is also the supreme leader of the village - Hokage!The place where you usually work, in other words, is the center of power!

Behind him, on the cliff not far away, is the famous Hokage Rock, on which are carved huge rock heads of Hokage from past dynasties.It's just that counting from left to right, there are only three head portraits engraved now, and the owner of the head portrait on the far right is the current No. [-] Hokage of Konoha-Ninuo, Hiruzaru Sarutobi!

The Hokage Building Office, usually a spacious office room, is now full of Anbe ninjas wearing animal masks.

"Report to Hokage-sama, tonight, according to the students of Ninja School, Minato Namakaze discovered that the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kushina was missing. We investigated the scene in detail. Judging from the fatal injuries of the murdered ninja and the traces of ninjutsu at the scene, this is extremely serious. It may be the work of Yunyin Yeyue troops!"

One of the Anbe ninjas was half-kneeling in the south of the room, where there was a huge desk, on which sat a middle-aged ninja wearing a Naruto Yushen robe, wearing a Naruto hat, and holding a pipe. He was the current Konoha Hokage. , Enduring Sarutobi Hiruza!
At this time, he was over forty years old, but he was still far from the old Hokage of the third generation in the original book. Now, except for some small wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his whole body is still in peak condition.

Just sitting in the position of Hokage, although his expression is still calm and gentle, but from the beginning to the end, the aura of the peak Kage-level powerhouse in his body faintly reveals an extremely terrifying aura, making Anbu present The elites are in awe from the bottom of their hearts and dare not be disrespectful!

The name of Ninja is well-deserved!
"Yun Yin..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi put the pipe in his hand into his mouth, inhaled lightly, and then exhaled deeply, the peaceful eyes gradually became sharper in the smoke!
"Have you found any traces of Yeyue's troops who kidnapped Uzumaki Kushina?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked in a deep voice.

"Master Hokage, the moment we received the news, we immediately ordered the entire village to be sealed off, but unfortunately, because of those spies, the secrets of a defense area in the west of our village were leaked, and all the ninjas had been blocked. Kill, therefore, the Yeyue troops should have left through that gap, bringing the Nine-Tails Renzhu Liyu to sneak back to the Land of Thunder from the primeval forest in the west!"

Another Anbu ninja replied.

Hearing this, Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned deeply.Yeyue troop is Yunyin's most elite ninja troop. Its status in the ninja village is equivalent to Konoha's Anbe. Usually, it is directly under the command of the village's supreme leader, Ying.

The Yeyue troop was already well-known in the ninja world for its proficiency in thunder escape ninjutsu and its powerful speed and strength.In the vast primeval forest to the west of Konoha, it is frighteningly difficult to search and intercept them. The best way is to send top experts who are good at tracking and speed to intercept them, but...

Thinking of this, Hiruzaru Sarutobi recalled that not long ago, the strange behavior of the third generation of Raikage appeared at the border of Raikage, which directly aroused Konoha's highest vigilance. Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru and other experts went to the border one after another. Now that I think about it …

"Okay, what a Raikage of the third generation, what a cloud hidden, really good! This time, in order to obtain the power of Kyuubi, I really took great pains." Hiruzaru Sarutobi sneered with anger in his heart.

Generally speaking, in order to deal with Yun Yin Village who is good at thunder escape, especially against the third generation of Raikage who can fight hand-to-hand with eight tails with a human body.

Konoha's policy is to deal with the speed-type scouting ninja headed by Hatake Sakumo, and Yun Yin obviously knows this too. The third generation of Raikage deliberately swayed a shot at the border, attracting those masters to go, leading to the current situation Konoha Ninja Village has no practical way to deal with Yeyue's troops.

However, Lei Ying had calculated thousands of times, and still missed a little bit.Muye Village is a land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!In this land known as the cradle of geniuses, there are not only the strong ones who are famous now, but also the strong ones who are constantly improving, and there are also strong ones who are growing up and in the future!
This is a place full of legends and surprises.

I remember that Ji Lai also just completed the cultivation of Miao Mushan, and his strength has greatly improved. This time, it happened to give him a chance to show his talents.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi thought in his heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unknowingly.The branches of Konoha are getting stronger and stronger, enough to support this big tree.

"Pass my order, all the Anbu ninjas in the village are now heading out to the Western Primordial Forest, no matter what means, we must take Uzumaki Kushina back!" After thinking about it, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's face turned serious, and he resolutely addressed the dark army leaders present. Give the order.

"Also, immediately go to the home of the wild ghost Jiraiya and let him come to see me!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi immediately gave another order.Then he left his seat, turned around and looked through the window at Konoha Ninja Village in the night, with far-reaching and decisive eyes.

Nine-tailed Jinchuriki, the ultimate strategic weapon of Konoha Ninja Village, must not be lost!

At the same time, Hatake Sakumo's home.Namikaze Minato, who had just passed the Anbe ninja residing in Hatake Sakumo's house to inform Konoha's senior management, was sitting in the living room at the moment, looking at the fiery red hair in his hand in a trance.

After a long time, his eyes suddenly became firm, as if he had made a certain decision, but he clearly knew that this decision would be difficult to complete with his own strength.Therefore, he needs someone who can help him.

Thinking of this, Namikaze Minato suddenly got up, bid farewell to Takeshita Reiran, and rushed towards Konoha South Street, Kitagawa Mochizuki's house!
