Naruto: Starting from the pursuit of Tsunade

"I didn't expect that Big Brother would entrust such an important task to them."

Tsunade lay on her side in Kawakaze's arms, with a hint of satisfaction in her lazy eyes.

He stretched out his index finger out of boredom and drew circles on Chuan Feng's belly.

The half-covered body is faintly visible.

"Don't always treat them as children."

"When we were their age, we were not as good as them."

The itchy feeling on his belly kept irritating Chuan Feng.

He patted Tsunade's arm and could sense her worry.

In fact, he was the same. When Minato and Ropeki led the team to the Land of Earth, they were also worried.

Fortunately, not only did they successfully complete the mission, but Nawaki also brought back Misaki.

It can be said that everyone is happy!!

"That's you. I was really good when I was little."

"Stupid Jiraiya and Orochimaru are no match for me."

Tsunade looked up at Kawakaze, unwilling to admit it with a proud look on her face.

"Haha, okay."

“You’re the best.”

Chuan Feng smiled. He didn’t know who was the most powerful among the three when they were young.

All we know is that when the ancestral bell was snatched, Jiraiya was buried in the ground by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

I'm afraid only Sarutobi Hiruzen has the most say on this issue.

Anyway, he didn't bother to worry about whether it was true or not, so he would just go along with what Tsunade said.

"Oh, I don't know where they are now?"

Tsunade turned around and changed the topic again, but she was still a little worried.

Nawaki is her biological brother, and Minato and the others are Kawakaze's beloved disciples.

Those three Anbu were also rare elites.

She doesn't want to see any problem with either of them.

"Don't worry, Minato has Flying Thunder God. Even if he can't beat him, he can still run away."

"Nawaki can also fly. In the Land of Water, his water jutsu can be even more powerful."

"You know Nagato's Samsara Eye. If he were to encounter a desperate situation, the power he would unleash would surely make everyone look at him with awe."

"Don't underestimate Xiaonan because of his young age. His paper escape ability is still very formidable."

"Yahiko can also display stronger strength than usual in the Land of Water."

In order to comfort Tsunade, Chuan Feng praised the little ones one by one.

If he really didn't know Sheng Shu's subordinates well, he would have praised them a few times.

As he spoke, he gradually gained confidence. Wouldn't this kind of mission be an easy task for Minato and his men?

"What you said does make sense. I was just worrying too much."

After listening to Kawakaze's praises, Tsunade nodded and calmed down.

The young eagle will eventually spread its wings and fly high, and they cannot protect it forever.

That wouldn't be a good thing for Minato and the others.

"Just trust them. Maybe they will appear in front of you tomorrow with the Snow Clan."

"You should think carefully about how to subdue and place them."

Chuan Feng joked that he himself couldn't come back so soon.

"They came to my Konoha, and we can still let them do what they want?"

"Even if I give them a toilet, they will smile and say thank you."

Tsunade seemed to really see the people of the Snow Clan appear in front of her, and her words were full of domineering power.

"Lord Hokage is mighty."

"Well, I've rested."

Kawakaze praised, grabbing Tsunade's hand on her stomach.

"Aren't you afraid of kidney deficiency?"

Tsunade glanced at him. This guy was really hopeless.

"Isn't it possible for you to treat me?"

Chuan Feng didn't take it seriously and turned over and lay on top of him.

"Oh~be gentle..."

As the bed rocked gently, Chuan Feng was striving for the goal of making the Hatake family prosperous.

......

A few days later, Minato and his party took a boat from the border of the Fire Country to the Water Country.

This is a cargo ship from the Land of Fire, and its owner is an intelligence officer from Konoha Village.

He travels back and forth between the two countries all year round, and this secret report was also passed back to Konoha through him.

"Uncle Hiroki, I heard that the situation in the Hidden Mist Village is very strange right now?"

Minato had taken off his mask and everyone was wearing their servants' clothes.

"Well, the Third Mizukage's temperament changed drastically within a few years of taking office."

"The rule is extremely cruel, and the methods used to train ninjas are extremely bloody."

"Before becoming a ninja, you have to kill each other. Only the last one standing can survive."

"He trains cold-blooded people like this."

"And he also persecuted the bloodline limit family. This is why the Snow Clan asked us in Konoha for help."

"The rumor of the Blood Mist Village has spread throughout the Land of Water."

The ship owner Hiroki was a middle-aged man with a big belly and a thick gold chain around his neck. He looked like a wealthy businessman.

As he introduced the situation of the Hidden Mist Village to everyone, his brows furrowed.

The current situation in the Hidden Mist Village is indeed disgusting.

"So, there was no resistance?"

Nawaki found it unbelievable. In comparison, Sarutobi Hiruzen was considered a kind person.

"How come there isn't?"

"They are just small families."

"They were not strong enough and their clan was exterminated."

Hiroki was also deeply moved by their experience. Being born in such a village was simply the beginning of hell.

"Did the Snow Clan rebel?"

Xiaonan asked curiously, she could understand the feeling of having her family broken up.

I already have a very bad impression of the Third Mizukage, whom I have never met before. This kind of person deserves to die! !

"Them?"

"It's really sad to say the least. We can only blame them for being born in the Hidden Mist Village."

"Originally, the Snow Clan had been enduring and was able to survive in the Hidden Mist Village."

"But their generation is full of talented people."

"There are more and more people who have awakened the Ice Escape."

"Which family wouldn't be happy about this?"

Hiroki asked back, and when everyone nodded, he continued.

"This attracted the attention of the Third Mizukage."

"Maybe they feel like too much of a threat."

"Overnight, the Third Mizukage sent people to launch a large-scale campaign against the Snow Clan."

"That's so miserable!!"

At this point, everyone knew what was going on.

The Snow Clan did not intend to rebel against the village, but rather it was a choice they were forced to make.

If they were really evil criminals, it would be difficult for them to accept the mission of rescuing them.

Maybe I can just wander around and go back. Anyway, this is not a mandatory task.

"This won't happen in our Konoha."

"My sister will definitely treat them well."

Nawaki was very confident in his words and had full confidence in Tsunade.

"That's right. We in Konoha are not comparable to the Hidden Mist Village."

Hiroki smiled at everyone. He still felt a sense of belonging to Konoha.

......

Hiroki has been doing business for many years and is also a talkative person.

After they finished talking about the mission-related matters, they chatted for a while.

"Okay, have a good rest."

"I'll let you know when we're almost there."

After saying that, Hiroki stood up and left, as he had other things to deal with.

"Okay, you go slowly."

Everyone in Minato admired these intelligence officers who put life and death at risk.

They may not have very strong power, but they all have a heart willing to sacrifice their lives for the village.

The route from the Land of Fire to the Land of Water is very long, and a week passed quietly.

As we got closer to the Water Kingdom, the fog on the sea became thicker.

It is easy to get lost if you are not an experienced sailor.

The living conditions on the ship are much worse than those on land.

Fortunately, Minato and his companions showed no signs of seasickness and were able to maintain good fighting capacity.

In the original novel, Kai was so seasick that he needed help after getting ashore. How could he be a fighting force?

On this day, someone knocked on the cabin door where several people were living.

"Everyone, we're almost at the shore."

"You guys get ready."

Hiroshu came to say hello to a few people, then left in a hurry.

"About to arrive."

Minato was the first to leave the cabin and come to the deck, where he could already see the harbor vaguely visible.

The guys on the boat were loading the cargo out.

"I reiterate that this mission is based on ensuring your own safety."

"Do you remember everything?"

Rope Tree growled in a low voice.

"remembered."

All six team members answered in unison.

"Get to work."

After saying that, Minato took the lead in lifting the heavy goods, and soon they were doing it quite well.

His movements are skillful, just like his fellows.

Not long after, the boat slowed down and was about to dock.

The port was bustling with people and the porters coming and going were very lively.

After Hiroki got off the ship and negotiated with the port officials, he gave the order to unload the cargo.

Shuimen and his companions naturally followed the guys and started unloading the goods at the dock.

Because Xiaonan and his friends are young, they all use transformation techniques to change their appearance, otherwise they would easily arouse suspicion.

It's not that there are child laborers, but isn't it a bit too much to use the term "child labor" on a little girl of just a few years old?

The most outrageous thing is that she can actually move it. If this doesn't arouse suspicion, then something fishy must be going on.

It was not until noon that I had time to eat something.

It was not until the evening that the entire ship's cargo was unloaded.

The neatly stacked docks are waiting to be received at the port.

After handing over the business to his old customer, Hiroki took his staff to stay at the Port Restaurant.

Although the Water Kingdom allows trade, it is strictly controlled.

Everyone only had one night to stay at the port.

It can be regarded as a support for trade. It is really unpleasant to be on the sea all the time.

Since getting off the boat, Hiroki no longer showed any special care to Minato and the others, and he never even said a word to them.

Minato and others followed the waiters to a restaurant, where they slept in a large dormitory.

It must be Hiroki's intention that several people lived in the same room.

There are eight people in a room, which is just the right number for them.

After finally getting ashore, some guys started to have fun.

Those who want to gamble gamble, and those who want to look for women look for women.

Venting out the loneliness and emptiness of sea voyage.

After eating, Minato and his friends returned to the house and did not participate in other people's activities.

When it was late at night, several people began their next action.

"Walk."

Minato called out, leading the way out of the room, and the rest followed in.

Under the cover of night, the eight people hid their bodies and headed deep into the Water Kingdom after leaving the port.

There were still eight shadow clones sleeping soundly in the room.

"I can hardly sense the shadow clone anymore."

Xiaonan stopped after walking an unknown distance.

"Then let's rest here."

"We'll set off tomorrow."

Minato made a quick decision, even though he was still far from his limit.

But since Xiaonan is young and has a low chakra level, he can understand that.

Not everyone can use shadow clones to conduct large-scale battlefield searches like Naruto does; that is his exclusive protagonist halo.

"Pay attention to concealment."

After saying this, Shengshu found a lush branch and hid himself.

It is never too careful to be in his country, especially since they are here to carry out a mission.

"Yes."

Everyone was hiding, and spending the night in a tree was basic lesson for them.

Nothing happened that night, and the next morning dawned.

After waking up, the guys washed up and had a delicious meal, then began to board the ship in an orderly manner.

Hiroki was counting the number of people on the side, and there was a Water Country staff member supervising him.

"... eighty, eighty-one."

"Sir, we are all here."

After counting the number of people, Hiroki reported to the staff around him.

"Well, I wish you a safe journey."

The staff member just ticked the box on the notebook and smiled at Hiroki.

This is not the first time they have dealt with each other.

"Haha, I'm leaving then."

Hiroki even patted the staff member on the shoulder. There was no abnormal behavior, just like usual.

As he boarded the ship, the cargo ship began to slowly back up and turn around.

Hiroki came to the cabin where Minato and his companions had lived before.

There are eight shadow clones neatly arranged inside.

"Uncle Hiroki, it's safe now."

Minato's shadow clone asked when he saw Hiroki.

"Well, where are you now?"

Hiroki nodded, everything went just as planned.

"We don't know either. Anyway, it's quite far from the port."

Rope Tree's shadow clone started talking and yawned.

"Oh, I can't hold on any longer."

As the ship sailed further and further away, Konan's shadow clone said a few words and then disappeared with a bang.

"Haha, be careful."

"It won't delay your mission."

Hiroki was amused by Xiaonan, waved his hand and turned to leave.

By the time he locked the door, the cabin was empty.

His mission has been completed, and now it depends on Minato and the others to perform.

When the clone's memories merged into the original body, Minato and the others gathered under a tree.

After a night, they were all wet with dew and looked quite miserable.

Several people took some dry food to fill their stomachs, and they probably wouldn't have a good life in the future.

They had to avoid the crowd and could not take any risk of being discovered.

After quickly finishing the dry food in his hand, Minato took out the map to confirm the direction, and then slowly spoke.

“We have completed the first step.”

"The next step is to find the Snow Clan."

"We are currently far from where we are in the intelligence."

"Keep an eye out for this kind of sign when you're nearby."

After saying that, he took a branch and drew a special symbol on the ground.

This is the mark that the Snow Clan gave when they were asking for help.

"Just this ghostly drawing. I'll remember it."

"what about you?"

Sheng Shu glanced around and asked the others.

With Minato around, there's almost nothing to worry about, just follow the instructions.

"remember."

Several people responded in unison. Xiaonan hurried to finish his dry food and almost choked.

"Eat slowly, there's no rush."

Minato looked at his junior sister lovingly.

"Finished."

Xiaonan gave a cute smile and opened his mouth to gesture.

"Okay, let's go."

Minato put away the map and ran north.

A group of eight people quickly shuttled through the woods and rushed towards the direction of the Snow Clan.

The Snow Clan was almost in despair at this time, as they hadn't seen any rescue in such a long time.

Under the relentless search by the Anbu of the Hidden Mist Village, their living space has become very small.

It's only a matter of time before being discovered. I don't know if I can hold on until Minato and his men arrive.
