Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 152 The skyrocketing value
"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Please come in."

Upon hearing this, the Anbu outside the door immediately trotted into the office.

He knelt on one knee and spoke respectfully.

"Sir, the Namikaze Jonin is back."

The Third Hokage raised his head slightly and a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Minato is back in the village? Then call him over."

"Yes."

The ANBU ninjas were ordered to retreat.

After a while, Minato Namikaze, who had just led the team back to the village, came to the Hokage's office.

"I'm sorry, Master Sandaime, this mission."

Minato apologized with a guilty look on his face, but was interrupted by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"I have read the mission intelligence. This is not your mistake. No one expected that Kirigakure would send so many ninjas to break into the Land of Fire."

"If you can drive them all out, your mission won't be considered a failure, Minato."

Hearing that Sarutobi Hiruzen was still comforting himself, Namikaze Minato felt even more ashamed as he felt that the losses in this mission were too great, but he had not been able to leave behind the invading Kirigakure troops.

Seeing that Namikaze Minato kept his head down and remained silent, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not continue to comfort him, but instead spoke.

"I saw that the information you sent back mentioned the Burning Release Leaf Cang of the Sand Village?"

"Yes, Third Generation-sama."

When it came to business, Minato Namikaze regained his spirits.

"This time, the Kirigakure ninja invaded the Land of Fire because Ye Cang led the team to pursue the Kirigakure Anbu in the Land of Fire, thus attracting the support of the Kirigakure frontline troops."

"And the Sand Village troops led by Ye Cang have been completely wiped out."

"As for the Burning Release Ye Cang himself..."

Having said this, Minato Namikaze paused for a moment before continuing.

"I thought her presence might be helpful to the peace talks between the village and Sunagakure, so I captured her and brought her back."

"Well done. You were able to arrive at the scene in time and capture the commander of Sunagakure. This is already very outstanding."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and nodded, seeming very satisfied with what Minato Namikaze did.

However, as he has a better understanding of the current situation of the Sand Village, whether he really agrees with Minato Namikaze's opinion, only he himself knows.

Perhaps because of the mention of Scorch Release Yegura, Namikaze Minato thought about it and spoke.

"In fact, we might not be able to catch up with this mission."

"The day before I led the team to arrive, the Sand Village had already surrounded the fleeing Kirigakure Anbu."

"If there hadn't been an accident at that time, perhaps the Sand Village troops would have achieved their goal and evacuated long ago. There wouldn't have been any subsequent battles."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had read the mission report, was unaware of this, but became somewhat interested when he heard it.

"An accident occurred?"

"Yes, Third Generation-sama."

Minato Namikaze sorted out his words a little before continuing to explain.

"Ye Cang was still in a coma when the mission report was sent back. I only learned about what happened on the way back."

"At first, Ye Cang, who had just woken up from a coma due to a serious injury, completely refused to communicate. It was not until I mentioned the flying Mist Hidden Anbu that she roughly told me what had happened before."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but interrupt.

"Is that the one you highlighted in the intelligence, the genius of the Kirigakure ANBU who was able to fight you for several rounds? How does he compare to Kakashi?"

Namikaze Minato looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a little surprise, wondering why the Hokage would ask such a question.

"Does Hokage think Kakashi can survive several rounds if I attack with all my strength?"

However, Namikaze Minato still answered. "Well, he should be about the same age as Kakashi, but his strength is far greater than Kakashi."

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to realize that he had asked a stupid question and smiled awkwardly.

"Minato, continue."

"Hello, third generation sir."

"According to Ye Cang, the Kirigakure boy had fought with her before."

"It was because of his sudden appearance and the release of a large-scale ninjutsu to provide cover that the Kirigakure Anbu broke through the blockade, allowing the Sand Village to stay in the Land of Fire for a longer period of time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen rested his arms on the table, propped up his chin, and narrowed his eyes.

"A flying ninjutsu I've never heard of, a large-scale ninjutsu with decent lethality, and at the same time a swordsmanship close combat that can fight against you, Minato?"

"The amount of chakra should not be low either."

"And he's only eleven or twelve years old. It looks like Kirigakure has produced an incredible genius."

Minato Namikaze nodded solemnly?
"Yes, after the brief fight, I thought about further testing it, or even killing it. But I failed in the end."

Minato Namikaze did not attribute the failure to injury or the enemy's ability to fly.

However, this also made Sarutobi Hiruzen pay more attention to Jianchuan Tachibana.

"What a pity." Sarutobi Hiruzen murmured.

It’s not a pity that Minato Namikaze didn’t kill him early, but it’s a pity that such a genius is not a ninja from Konoha.

"Pass the information on and add it to the Anbu manual. It will be tentatively designated as an A-level target!"

"Yes."

Utane Koharu, who had remained silent the whole time, agreed and casually called over an Anbu, ordering him to go and collect information about Jianchuan Tachibana to facilitate the third generation's future arrangements.

Minato Namikaze was already accustomed to such scenes, and he turned the topic back to Ye Cang at the beginning.

"Third-sama, the Burning Style Ye Cang is still seriously injured, and the accompanying medical ninja can only stabilize her injuries. Do you think we should send her to the medical team first?"

"Send it to Tsunade."

As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth, the entire Hokage's office fell silent, and even he himself fell into silence.

Since they all knew Tsunade's current situation, they didn't know how to start talking when they heard this.

Instead, Utane Koharu, who was about to walk out of the Hokage's office, stopped and spoke up to help Sarutobi Hiruzen out of the predicament.

"Huruzen, Tsunade is still handling the evacuation of medical ninjas at the front line of River Country. Have you forgotten?"

"Ahem, yes, yes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed lightly a few times to cover up his embarrassment, forced a smile on his face and said to Namikaze Minato.

"Minato, send Ye Cang to the interrogation department first, and then let them take care of the connection with the medical team."

"Yes, Sandaime-sama."

"Minato, you go down first. I'll give you a few days off after the troops are handed over."

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze showed a sincere smile on his face, and after thanking him, he happily left.

the other side.

Jianchuan Ju, who was still on his way back to the Hidden Mist Village at this time, obviously didn't know about it yet.

He had thought that Ye Cang, who was most likely dead, was actually captured by Konoha.

It is even more impossible to know that in just a few days, his own net worth has increased countless times.

It’s just a pity that I haven’t written many words this week because of work.
