Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

“That’s so amazing, isn’t it?”

It was not until Minato Namikaze and the other two were far away and his chakra could no longer be sensed that Nawaki exclaimed.

I thought he would be taken away for interrogation, but he was resolved so easily!

"As expected of Ito-nii!"

Rope Tree likes it very much.

"But why is that guy who calls himself Ah Fei also called Bai Zetsu..."

He scratched his head, remembering the strange white man he had seen earlier.

"This is a bit complicated, so I won't talk about it for now."

Ito Toru shrugged: "Anyway, the things involved here are beyond our ability to participate right now, so we just need to improve our strength first."

"Ok!"

Sheng Shu nodded in agreement.

"So……"

Ito Toru looked at Kabuto with a bit of sympathy: "Kou, the rest of the things in this experimental base are now in your hands."

"If you need any help, just tell us."

"..."

Dou took a deep breath, and a little color returned to his deathly pale face.

He was not one to dwell on regret.

"Don't worry, Ito-san, I'll tidy this place up."

"Then choose another suitable base..."

"Well, come on!"

Ito Toru patted his shoulder and left with Nawaki.

Pharmacist Kabuto was silent for a moment, then began to slowly clean up the ruined experimental base.

……

"..."

On the way back, Minato Namikaze kept thinking about the details that he might have overlooked before.

"Minato, what are you thinking about?"

Kushina asked next to her.

As the person closest to Minato Namikaze, she could certainly sense that something was wrong with his mood.

"I was wondering who the White Zetsu that Ito Toru mentioned is."

Namikaze Minato frowned slightly.

"I have never heard of such an organization or such a person, Fugaku, what about you?"

"I……"

Uchiha Fugaku was caught off guard as he did not expect to be called out suddenly.

"I'm not sure either. If I had opened my Sharingan at the time, I might have been able to see that something was wrong."

"Correct!"

Minato's eyes gleamed.

"This is it!"

He stopped.

"Hmm? Did you think of something?"

Kushina and Fugaku also stopped.

"Because of Konoha's Sharingan and Byakugan, it can see through some disguises."

Minato muttered.

"Similarly, if that fellow called White Zetsu had sneaked into Konoha before, it would be impossible for him not to leave traces!"

"Fugaku, could you please go back and check the relevant records?"

"This... is a little difficult, but I'll try my best."

Fugaku nodded after hesitating: "After all, I am the clan leader, they should give me some face."

"Okay, then it's up to you!"

An hour later, Konoha Village.

"Hmm? Why do you suddenly want to check the records of strange people encountered in the tribe?"

Uchiha Setsuna squinted his eyes and looked at Fugaku in front of him.

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you right now. Please let me check."

Fugaku answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Hmph, go ahead."

Although Setsuna was not very happy with this cowardly young clan leader, he would not make things difficult for him over such matters.

"Thank you!"

Fugaku thanked him quickly, then walked into the place where the Uchiha clan's books were stored, took out scroll after scroll, and began to search.

at the same time.

The Hyuga clan’s territory on the other side.

"Has anyone suspicious appeared?"

Hinata Hiashi, who was wearing casual clothes, did not expect that Namikaze Minato came to him specifically to ask this question, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"If we talk about suspicious people, there are too many of them..."

"It is a creature similar to a human that is pure white, has green hair, and can perfectly imitate others."

Minato then described the characteristics of White Zetsu in detail.

"This... seems to only exist in legends, right?"

Hinata Hiashi felt that it was a bit outrageous, but Namikaze Minato still had a good reputation in Konoha, and it was impossible for him to play such a boring joke on him.

So he thought about it for a while, and asked his younger brother Hinata Hizashi to look through the clan's books.

"Sorry to trouble you."

Minato felt a little embarrassed.

After all, he was just an ordinary Chunin. Fugaku's request could be considered as a request between friends, but Hinata Hiashi was just an acquaintance, yet he had to do so many things because of his request.

"It's no trouble. I'm more curious about why you are looking for this person."

"It's a long story..."

So Minato briefly explained what happened today.

"How can such a thing exist in the world?!"

When Ri Zu heard this, he immediately took it seriously.

Although the transformation technique is something that most ninjas can master, being able to perfectly impersonate someone else...

"As far as I know, there is no such jutsu in the Five Great Nations."

His expression became serious.

"That is to say, this may be a new organization that does not belong to any party!"

"They are acting in secret, there must be some unspeakable secret!"

"Yes."

Minato nodded in agreement, "But not many people know about these things right now, and if they were made public, it might cause a certain degree of panic and distrust."

"So I want to get as much relevant information as possible before reporting it to Hokage-sama."

"You did the right thing, Minato."

Hiashi nodded: "We will support you!"

"Brother, I have checked the scroll and it is indeed recorded in it."

Just at this time, Hizashi came back. Because his Byakugan had very good eyesight, he could read faster than most people.

"However, the people who recorded it at the time believed that this was a type of wooden clone, and a failed clone technique, so they didn't pay too much attention to it."

"Where was the location at that time?"

Minato demanded.

"Near the Kannabi Bridge."

"Kannabi Bridge?"

Minato pondered, "I remember it seemed to be in the Land of Earth?"

"Yes, it is an important supply line from the Land of Earth to the front line."

Hiashi replied: "Based on your description, Minato, that person is very good at earth escape techniques. We can roughly guess that their base may be within the territory of the Land of Earth."

"I see. That does make sense."

Minato breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't within the borders of the Fire Country.

But then he frowned. This made things even more difficult...

Because this makes it impossible to be sure whether Tsuchikage Ōnoki was involved.

"Perhaps we could ask Lord Orochimaru?"

Hiashi also noticed the conflict in Minato's expression and offered a suggestion.

"I heard that the troops he led are on their way back. Perhaps he, who has fought with Iwagakure, can have more information?"

"Makes sense!"

Minato's eyes lit up, and after thanking Hiashi and Hizashi, he ran out of Konoha Village with Kushina.
