Hokage: I use spiritual power to release ninjutsu!

After a day of traveling, Uchiha Peak and his party finally arrived at the border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire.

On the way, Namikaze Minato also explained the contents of the mission to everyone.

They have two tasks for this trip:

First, investigate the disappearance of the ANBU team that delivered a message to Sunagakure Village along the way;

Second, find out what kind of drastic changes have occurred within Sunagakure Village and why it has begun to frequently cross the border and invade the Land of Fire.

A group of eight people stood on an unusually thick tree trunk, looking at the wasteland not far away with serious expressions.

Namikaze Minato retracted his gaze from the distance, looked at the seven people around him, and said in a serious tone that he had never seen before:

"The Kingdom of Wind is ahead. We are sneaking in secretly this time. We must hide ourselves and not expose ourselves."

Then I looked at the big and small bags on their bodies,

"Throw away all unnecessary things and only carry the Ninja Tool Bag!"

Akiyama, Ito, Obito, etc. silently followed the order without any rebuttal;

They all dropped their backpacks behind them, leaving only the ninja bag on their bodies.

Namikaze Minato nodded and continued to warn:

“Sunagakure Village has been taking a lot of action recently, and the possibility of starting a war cannot be ruled out;

If you are discovered by a ninja from Sunagakure Village on the way, you must kill him in the shortest possible time! "

"Understand??"

Namikaze Minato's eyes flashed with murderous intent, even though he was usually very gentle towards people in his village;

But when it comes to his enemies, he will not be overflowing with the Holy Mother's heart, and will naturally kill them decisively.

Uchiha Peak, including Aoki and others, responded one after another, and then, led by Namikaze Minato, crossed the border and entered the Kingdom of Wind.

As we go deeper into the Kingdom of Wind, the surrounding trees begin to become sparse;

They are also becoming more and more slender, completely incomparable to the thick and tall trees in the Land of Fire.

An hour later, Namikaze Minato followed the clues provided by the ANBU and the traces along the way,

Finally, we came to the place where the ANBU team responsible for delivering the message and the Suna Ninja battled.

Although the Suna Ninja Maki had cleared the battlefield, they did not have the ability to restore vegetation with the spiritual power of Uchiha Minegi;

The large trees and grass on the battlefield that were damaged by the fighting between the two sides still looked damaged;

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that there must have been an extremely fierce battle here.

It's just that those battle scenes with traces of the Suna Ninja Village's signature ninjutsu have been basically destroyed by the Suna Ninja, but there are still some missing parts.

Without wasting any time, Namikaze Minato immediately arranged for Uchiha Mine and others to explore the surroundings, while he himself came to the destroyed trees;

Looking at the smooth and new cuts of these big trees and the tree trunks that look like they have been pierced by cannonballs, I can't help but touch them with my hands;

As a powerful wind release ninja, Namikaze Minato could naturally recognize at a glance that these trees were destroyed by powerful wind release ninjutsu.

Even when he touched it with his palm, he could clearly feel the residual wind chakra.

Wind attribute chakra is an attribute with extremely high attack power and is rare. There are not many ninjas who are good at wind escape in the ninja world;

In addition, the very sharp wind-attribute chakra felt from the trees at this moment;

Namikaze Minato could tell that this wind release ninja must be a jounin or above.

And this place belongs to the Kingdom of Wind, and the person who caused the traces in front of him is already ready to come out.

"Suna Ninja Maki, is that you?"

Namikaze Minato whispered to himself. Although he was asking himself, he was almost sure in his heart that the ANBU team was fighting Maki.

As for the outcome of the battle, since they haven't sent any news for a long time, they already know that it will be a disaster.

"The Sand Ninja Village really wants to go to war with Konoha..."

Namikaze Minato's eyes flashed with murderous intent, his expression serious.

If there was anyone who wanted the least war, Minato Namikaze must be one of them.

Not to mention starting a war, how many village companions will die;

Just the fact that the tailed beast weapons of each village were invested in the war would definitely make his Kushina transform into the Nine-Tails on the battlefield.

This was absolutely unacceptable to him, Namikaze Minato.

He knew how much Kushina hated the Kyuubi being forced into her body;

If she still wants to transform into the Kyuubi on the battlefield and fight for Konoha, which has caused her great pain,

This will definitely bring huge harm to Kushina's body and mind.

He has been with Kushina for many years, and although he has never heard her say anything bad about Konoha,

He also often seems to call the third-generation old man naughty, and looks carefree and happy in the village;

But deep down in her heart, Kushina has no sense of belonging to Konoha Village, and even has a trace of resentment.

If Kushina hadn't had her own love to fill Kushina's empty heart, she would have run away under the influence of Kyuubi's negative emotions.

This was one of the reasons why he worked so hard to become Hokage;

Not only to realize the ideal in my heart, but also to better protect Kushina!

"Kushina, even if there is a war, even if I risk my life, I will never let you go to the battlefield."

Namikaze Minato's eyes were firm and he spoke with a sonorous voice.

At this time, Uchiha Feng came to a wet ground, looked down at a deep hole less than the thickness of his thumb, and quietly spread his consciousness.

Divine consciousness only spreads in this cave until it reaches a full 20 meters.

I saw that the cave wall was extremely smooth, and there was still some water accumulated in the cave, as if it had been shot out by a high-pressure water gun.

'Um?The high-pressure water cannon, could it be water breaking waves? '

Uchiha Ming felt that his guess was probably correct. Looking at the large number of traces of earth escape and water escape still remaining on the battlefield,

I couldn't help but wonder if the Konoha ANBU team leader who delivered the message might be a member of the Senju clan whose surname has been withdrawn.

Then he shook his head and smiled, and did not continue to think about it. He just made a curious association and there was no need to delve into it further.

Based on the current situation and his understanding of the original work, he was already sure that Scorpion must have assassinated the hard-working and strongest third-generation Kazekage.

The war between Suna Ninja Village and Konoha is likely to break out in the near future. It is better to complete the mission as soon as possible in the Kingdom of Wind and leave as soon as possible.

After a while, everyone had inspected the surrounding battle signs and reported them to Namikaze Minato.

Namikaze Minato thought for a moment and expressed his judgment:

"Based on the information currently available, the ANBU team was probably killed by the Suna Ninja."

"What is Sunagakure doing? How dare you kill Konoha ANBU without permission!"

Upon hearing this basically certain result, Aoki's face was full of evil spirits and his tone was angry.

Then, as if he had guessed something, his face turned a little pale and he said solemnly:

"Is Sand Hidden Village trying to start a war?"

Namikaze Minato didn't speak, he just nodded slowly with a serious face, the meaning was self-evident.

And the disciples who were more or less aware of the cruelty of war also had fears on their faces;

I was a little overwhelmed and confused about this shocking news.

Not only is he confused about his own destiny in the future, but he is also worried about his companions around him.
