Swing the knife from the leaves

Chapter 17 Watergate Investigation

A figure flashed quickly between the trees, and its golden hair left an afterimage in the process, like golden lightning.

After catching the kunai, Minato stopped moving forward. The sight in front of him made his eyes freeze. Standing on a tall tree, he could see the entire lake, but what caught his eyes was the big hole in the water in the center of the lake.

The damage to the lake exceeded Elder Danzo's description. Minato jumped down from the tree with the Hokage's order and walked towards the middle of the lake.

As the footsteps deepened, Minato gradually discovered some details, such as the large hole at the waterfall, the trees washed down by the lake on the shore, and some floating limbs in the water hole. In the past two days, the erosion of the lake gradually caused the remains of some trapped bodies to slowly float.

Minato's order to come for reconnaissance was given by the Third Generation. Just one day ago, Sarutobi Hiruzen received Danzo's action report. The Third Generation still agreed to his old friend's move to the Country of Rain, but the Country of Tianzo The suspicious strong man appeared in the territory, but the third generation didn't understand it, so he asked Minato who was still on the front line to investigate.

After receiving the order, Minato immediately entered Tian Country. He first scouted the location of Han Feng based on the information from the escaped personnel. After the search was fruitless, he came to investigate this and the destroyed Yunyin Village base.

The lake where the water level has dropped still has a depth of more than ten meters. After two days of sedimentation, the originally turbid water has become clear. Standing on the lake, Shuimen looked at the large hole below. At a glance, he could see the remains of the corpses. It no longer looks like it used to, and the clothes attached to it have turned into dark, unknown objects.

Taking a deep breath, Minato plunged into the lake, quickly swam to the entrance of the cave, and after carefully checking, he picked up a somewhat functional arm and returned to the surface.

The original base had been submerged by the lake, and it was too dark inside. Minato, who did not bring any professional equipment, could not go down to conduct reconnaissance, so he could only choose the stumps at the entrance of the cave.

Arriving at the shore, Minato began to observe the still intact stump. The broken arm seemed to be pressed down by a boulder. The clothes on it still had ANBU standard marks. The rest of the arm had no traces of injury. It was basically the same as The intelligence matched, they were caught in a trap.

However, Minato put his arms down, and a solemn look appeared on his handsome face. In two days, he could only confirm the accuracy of the information, but he had not yet found any trace of the mysterious strong man. It could be said that The main task is not completed.

Suddenly, several spikes appeared from the previously deserted underground and rushed towards Minato. Minato reacted quickly and immediately disappeared from the spot. The spikes that were close at hand were thrown into the air, and the hidden village of Kumo could not succeed in the sneak attack. The ninja jumped out of the ground and looked at Minato who was holding a special shuriken in the distance and quickly formed seals.

The confrontation just lasted only a second, but Minato's reaction speed was top-notch. He quickly retreated and looked at the enemy ninja who attacked him.

"It seems that he was ambushing here before he arrived." This idea came to Minato's mind, but this enemy adjusted the time correctly, but picked the wrong opponent.

Minato, who has not yet become famous in the Third War, is not known by most ninjas, but his current strength is not much inferior to that when he became famous, so this Kumogakure Village chuunin does not know that he is assassinating the future Fourth Hokage.

Kumo Ninja, who quickly formed the seal, didn't think much about it, but the opponent's reaction speed made him more vigilant, so he had to use the thunder escape that he was good at. Suddenly Minato threw the specially made kunai in his hand, and Yun was on guard. Shinobu deflected his body, but the kunai shot past him on the left, and the speed at which he formed seals, which was originally nervous, slowed down a lot.

What is this doing? Why is it so biased? The ninja's doubts immediately emerged, but they quickly dissipated. Minato appeared directly next to him, and the kunai he caught directly scratched his neck, and the bulge of blood quickly dissipated. Desperate for life, he fell backwards with his hands still forming seals. His last thought before dying was why he died so quickly.

Taking out the ninja scroll in his hand, he processed the dead Kumo ninja and put it in. Minato now needed to rush back to Konoha's frontline camp to find the mountain clan to search for the information in this brain.

As soon as the kunai was thrown, Minato disappeared immediately. The ninja had just died and his brain cells could survive for more than half an hour. As long as the secret technique was used immediately, the Yamanaka clan could still obtain information from it. At this time, only Minato could do it so quickly. .

While rushing on the road, Minato was thinking. The investigation in the past two days can be said to be fruitless. The Kumo ninja in front of him is still the first living enemy. The rest are either corpses or residual limbs. What Minato hopes now is to use the inside of this ninja. Use the intelligence to find out the location of the enemy's base, or obtain some information about this mysterious powerful man.

At the same time, Han Feng finally found Tsuchiya Goichi.

In the same underground base, in the deep office, Tsuchiya, who was full of anger, just looked at the information in his hand, shouted "bastard" and slammed the table.

Two military supplies, five jounin, and some hidden intelligence personnel of Kumogakure Village were gone.

Ever since Goichi Tsuchiya blew up Base B, he hasn't received any good news. He didn't know that Danzo had left the Land of Rain and thought that these were all revenge from Danzo.

With a ferocious face, Tsuchiya Goichi now looks like an evil ghost from hell. He who originally thought he could be seriously injured at the root has lost his mind in the continuous news.

Looking at the damage revealed in the report in his hand, Tsuchiya Goichi's original angry attitude gradually faded, and he fell weakly on the chair. He underestimated Danzo's power.

Closing his eyes, Tsuchiya Goichi recalled the encouragement of the Third Raikage when he was first appointed. That feeling of trust moved Tsuchiya Goichi who had just become a Jonin at that time. He did not want to live up to this trust.

Opening his eyes, Tsuchiya Goichi said, "I will definitely complete the mission assigned to me by Raikage-sama and live up to the mission." Saying what he had said before, Tsuchiya Goichi's fighting spirit returned.

He was in high spirits and came up with some plans, so he gave instructions to the guard outside the door.

"Go and call Iwaichi Jounin over."

But no one answered outside. Tsuchiya shouted again, but still no one answered. It was as quiet as death outside.

The strange Tsuchiya just stood up and wanted to go out to see what happened to his guard, but the sound of footsteps slowly came from outside the door.

One step at a time, the sound stopped in front of the door. Tsuchiya Goichi, who was originally excited, realized that something was wrong. He took out the kunai and looked at the closed door in front of him.

Suddenly a gust of wind came from outside the door.

The door gradually, gradually, opened.
