Naruto: Starting from the pursuit of Tsunade

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days, Minato-kun."

Inside the tent, Huang Tu added tea to Shui Men's bowl, while Lao Zi, standing beside him, also showed a rare smile.

In the battles over the past few days, the three of them worked together to "steadily" hold Nagato back.

"It's all thanks to everyone."

"I dare not take credit for it."

Minato waved his hand, his smile infectious.

"No need to be modest, you are better than us."

Lao Zi is a very honest person and he speaks directly.

"No, I just got some help from the secret technique."

Minato still maintained a humble attitude, and the atmosphere in the tent was very harmonious.

"There is also good news from my father's side. Konoha's Rope Tree-kun has suppressed the Cloud Ninja AB combination."

"He said the next war would be won in our favor."

“This is the best news I’ve heard in a while.”

Huang Tu's inner joy is reflected in his honest smile.

Fortunately, Ōnoki didn't have the courage to say that he was blackmailed by Ropetree, otherwise Huangtu might not have been able to laugh.

“He has the ability.”

When it comes to Rope Tree, Minato starts to praise it.

That kind of pride and satisfaction seemed to be saying: I know my brother is awesome without you telling me.

"Konoha is really full of talented people. We, the Iwagakure, still need to keep working hard."

If we talk about envy, Huang Tu is naturally envious.

He knew that Minato and Nawaki were only the leaders of the younger generation of Konoha, and that Konoha still had top powerhouses of Hatake Kawai Kaede's generation who had yet to take action.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no ninja village in the entire ninja world that can be compared with Konoha.

"Let's encourage each other, let's encourage each other."

Minato didn't know how to respond and could only give a perfunctory response.

You, the Rock Ninja, still want to develop?

Dream on!!!

"The blitzkrieg during this period was quite successful."

"But Xiao Ren is much more cautious now. Let's rest for a few days before we make any decisions."

"What do you think?"

After all, the three of them got together to focus on the combat mission, and Huangtu was the first to put forward his ideas.

"I have no opinion."

Minato naturally didn't care, as long as he acted seriously that was all that mattered.

It doesn't matter whether it's one dozen a day or one dozen every three days.

"can."

Lao Zi nodded and agreed with Huang Tu's suggestion.

"Then take a good rest for a few days. When father recovers, we won't be under so much pressure here."

In Huang Tu's heart, everything is changing for the better.

He believed that the war in the Land of Earth would end soon.

"When the time comes, we will make the Akatsuki Ninja pay the price for their invasion."

Minato said it as if it were true, without even a frown on his face.

"Haha~ That's a must."

It could be seen that Huangtu was in a good mood, and the three of them chatted until late at night.

After a few days of peace in the camp, the battle broke out again.

No matter from what perspective, passive response has never been Nagato's style.

This time, the Akatsuki ninja finally found the Iwagakure's hiding place.

At daybreak, Minato and his two companions were awakened by their men.

Xiao Ren was already on the way to invade, and many of the secret sentries had been eliminated.

Upon hearing the news, Huang Tu and Minato immediately gathered people to prepare to fight the enemy.

"You use the secret technique first, and we'll hold Nagato back."

Lao Zi urged Minato to quickly activate the Sage Mode, as he had already become dependent on it.

"it is good."

Minato was also very decisive and started to perform the spell immediately.

When Minato activated the Sage Mode, Nagato's figure had already appeared in front of his eyes.

No ninja who stood before him could match him.

"superior."

Minato threw out a special kunai and disappeared from the spot the next second.

Lao Zi and Huang Tu immediately followed, and the three of them once again joined forces to fight Nagato.

"Be careful."

Before Obito charged, Rin reminded him that as a medical ninja she would not participate in the frontline battles.

"receive."

Obito turned around and smiled so hard that his eyes could not be seen. After responding, he turned around and followed his friends to rush towards the Akatsuki ninja.

"Your relationship with Lin has been developing very quickly recently!"

Asuma was quite envious, then he looked at Hong's back beside Kakashi, and a feeling of loss surged in his heart for a moment.

I guess I don't have a chance.

"Hehe~ Not bad."

Obito scratched his head shyly. His friends had been teasing him and Rin lately, so he was kind of used to it.

"Come on, I'm optimistic about you."

Asuma adjusted his mindset and winked at Obito playfully.

"Thank you."

Obito seemed very generous now, thinking that he should find a time to confess his feelings to Rin.

It's not good to wait for girls to take the initiative in some things.

After a few words, the large forces of both sides started fighting.

Ever since he found out that Nono was Nagato's fiancée, Kakashi has been obsessed with her.

He had no interest in fighting ordinary Akatsuki ninjas, but fighting Nono was somewhat stressful.

"Hello, sister-in-law."

Kakashi's lips were full of respect, but his sword was merciless.

The straight stab was extremely brutal, and the lightning flashing on the blade was enough to blind Nono's eyes.

"Naughty."

Nono always had a gentle smile on his face, and his chakra scalpel chopped on the side of Kakashi's blade, easily dissolving it.

"watch out."

Hong attacked from the side with a powerful whip-kick that looked very ferocious.

"The moves are good, but unfortunately the power is not enough."

Nono raised his knee to block it, but the evaluation was not high.

Maybe when dealing with ordinary ninjas, Hong's physical skills are already good, but they are just good.

The bottom line is, Hong is not a ninja suited for close combat.

"Who are you looking down on?"

Hong was a little angry because her physical training teacher was Might Dai.

However, she did not humiliate herself again and started to cooperate with Kakashi to find opportunities to use illusion.

The three of them fought each other's moves very well, and the other friends also tried their best to shine in this military exercise.

Obito did take Rin's advice to heart, and he restrained his fighting style a lot, always putting safety first.

Just after knocking down a few Akatsuki ninjas, three more surrounded them.

At first Obito didn't care, but after the fight, he found something was wrong.

Although the behavior of these Akatsuki ninjas was a little sluggish, their attack was very fierce.

It's obvious that he really wants to put himself to death.

"What are you doing?"

Obito roared softly and narrowly avoided a fatal blow, but his chest was scratched.

The blood instantly dyed the collar of the clothes red.

"Innocent."

In an inconspicuous corner, Jue showed a sarcastic smile.

How could the three controlled Akatsuki ninjas answer? Seeing that Obito was injured, their attacks became more fierce.

At this point, Obito dared not hold back any longer.

With the help of the Sharingan, he can still hold on.

But the good times didn't last long, these three Akatsuki ninjas didn't care about their own life or death at all.

The fighting style of exchanging life for injury made Obito miserable.

After defeating two Akatsuki ninjas, Obito could no longer even stand.

He was half-kneeling on the ground, his Sharingan no longer able to open.

I tried hard to stand up, but my legs wouldn't obey me.

Looking at the Akatsuki ninjas who were closing in on him, Obito felt that his life might be coming to an end.

"Lin, I haven't told you yet."

"I like you."

Obito muttered to himself, and the next second he felt a sharp pain and fell down as his body went limp.

"knock off."

Watching the Akatsuki Shinobi deal the final blow to Obito, Zetsu dived underground and disappeared.

In the chaotic battlefield, no one noticed that Obito's body quietly sank into the ground and disappeared completely.

And in the end, the Akatsuki nin fell to the ground and died for unknown reasons.

"Almost done, get ready to retreat."

Minato was counting the time, his Sage Mode was almost at ten minutes.

After a hard fight with Nagato, he retreated to Huang Tu and Lao Zi.

"it is good."

Huang Tu and Lao Zi did not hesitate at all. They knew that once Minato exited the Sage Mode, the situation of the battle would be reversed instantly.

"retreat."

Following a loud roar, the Rock Ninja Alliance began to fight and retreat in an orderly manner as usual.

In order to make the performance more realistic, Nagato continued to pursue them relentlessly, but was unable to break through the defense of Minato and his other two companions.

"See you next time."

Seeing that the main force had withdrawn, Minato leaned on Huangtu and Lao Zi's shoulders and disappeared from Nagato's sight.

"Have you seen Obito?"

Lin saw many familiar faces, but she couldn't find Obito.

In the past, after every battle, Obito would appear in front of her first.

what is it today?

"I really didn't notice it. I'll help you look for it."

Kakashi dragged Hong away as they were too engrossed in the battle with Nono.

"Maybe I'm injured again and I'm embarrassed to come see you."

"I'll ask someone else."

Asuma said this and walked away quickly.

"I'll go look for it with you."

Kai watched his friends leave one by one, choosing to stay with Lin.

"Thank you."

Lin's mind was already wandering somewhere else, and even a simple thank you seemed powerless.

The two of them moved among Konoha's troops, but neither of them saw Obito.

As the friends met again, everyone looked solemn.

An ominous premonition spread among the crowd.

"Obito, Obito..."

Before Lin could finish her words, tears blurred her vision.

"No, no."

"I'll go get Brother Minato for help."

Kakashi guessed that Obito might have been taken away by the Akatsuki ninja, so Minato would definitely be able to find Obito.

"I will go with you."

Lin followed Kakashi's steps, and the friends scattered and continued their search.

As long as we don't see Obito's body, there is still hope.

"Brother Minato, I have something to tell you."

Kakashi chased to the front of the group, Minato was still with Huangti and the other two.

"what's up?"

Minato slowed down his pace and asked without any concealment, while Huangtu and Lao Zi tactfully went on their way.

It's a matter between fellow disciples, and it's not appropriate for them as outsiders to be involved.

In addition to Minato's performance during this period, they didn't think there was anything wrong with Minato.

"Obito's gone."

"I doubt..."

Minato was still very careful and didn't finish his words.

Lin was wiping her tears from time to time and looking at Minato without saying a word.

"Got it, I'll ask later."

"Normally there won't be any problem."
