Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Rin asked Minato, "Minato-sensei, what should we do next?"

Liao Wu captured Kurenai Yuhi, a member of the squad, and Obito was also in his hands.

On one hand, there's the mission; on the other, there are your companions. What do you do?

If it were the old Kakashi who followed Konoha's traditional customs, I can only say sorry, that's just how the ninja world is.

But Kakashi has been woken up by Obito, and now in his eyes, his comrades are more important than missions.

If you don't complete the mission, you'll just have to wait for the punishment; but if your teammates are gone, they're really gone.

Kakashi, kneeling before Minato, pleaded, "Minato-sensei, please don't abandon Kurenai and Obito; they are our comrades."

Minato helped Kakashi up and smiled at him, saying, "Don't worry, I will never abandon my comrades."

Minato's gentle yet sharp smile put Kakashi and Rin at ease. Minato-sensei has always been the little sun of Konoha!

If Minato truly wants to become Hokage, the most important thing now is to complete the mission of finding Nagato.

The importance of the Rinnegan far surpasses that of Kurenai and Obito.

But Minato felt that a Hokage should be someone who can protect his comrades. If he couldn't even protect his own subordinates, what kind of Hokage would he be?

Furthermore, the fact that Liao Wu appeared in the Land of Rain already speaks volumes.

Kakashi recalled the information he had heard from the wandering ninja and said, "Minato-sensei, Uchiha Ryou is Yakukanra from the Akatsuki organization."

"That guy named Nagato is very likely in the Akatsuki organization."

"dawn?!"

Minato had heard about this organization when he was gathering information in Amegakure. It was a peace organization dedicated to eliminating world conflicts.

It does align with some of Jiraiya's philosophies; perhaps Akatsuki was founded by three of Jiraiya's disciples.

Minato nodded, preparing to head to the Akatsuki organization.

Kakashi propped himself up and asked to follow.

Minato shook his head, looking at Kakashi's frail appearance: "Kakashi, your chakra is exhausted."

Minato wanted Rin to take care of Kakashi while he went to the Akatsuki organization alone, but he was afraid that if he left, Ryo would take the opportunity to come and kidnap Kakashi and Rin.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is not omnipotent. Although it allows Minato to travel tens or even hundreds of miles, there is still a reaction time required.

Take, for example, the complete annihilation of Kakashi's squad.

How could Minato find out about Kakashi and the others' situation as soon as possible?

Minato chose to use a summoning toad as a communicator. If Kakashi and the others encountered any mishap, the summoning toad would teleport to Minato's side and inform him of the situation.

The time wasted in between was enough for Liao Wu to kill Kakashi and the others a dozen times over.

Minato suddenly realized a crucial question: "By the way, Kakashi, did Ryougo hurt you?"

Lin said, "Senior Liaowu was about to kill Kakashi with the Lightning Blade, but fortunately Obito pleaded for Kakashi. However, I think Senior Liaowu was just bluffing."

How come he didn't hurt us? He even took my book.

Kakashi wanted to say it, but he was afraid of being scolded by Minato, so he didn't.

Minato stroked his chin. Kakashi and the others were already considered lucky. The worst outcome of encountering Liao Wu would have been that Kakashi and the other two would have been killed.

But since Liao Wu wasn't killed, Shui Men felt that Liao Wu could still be exonerated.

Kakashi seemed to have noticed Minato's concern, which was that Ryougo might raid the base after he left.

Kakashi pounded his chest hard: "Minato-sensei, don't worry, I can still hold on."

Obito is being tortured by the evil Uchiha Ryogoku, how can Kakashi lie here?

Damn it, don't underestimate our bond!

As soon as he finished speaking, Kakashi couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.

"Kakashi—"

The invincible Lord Kakashi has fallen yet again.

Minato was truly at a loss and had to stay and look after Kakashi.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from outside the cave. A swarm of black flying insects appeared at the cave entrance and coalesced into a Konoha ninja wearing a black cloak and sunglasses.

The most noticeable feature is the purple mark on his right cheek.

"Minato, catching up with you was really tough!"

Minato was pleasantly surprised. This was Danzo's personal bodyguard whom he had met before, an elite Jonin of Root, and a Mushroom Master from the Aburame Clan.

Minato wanted him to look after Kakashi and Rin while he went to rescue Kurenai and Obito.

But the words suddenly got stuck in my throat.

Who is this again?

Ryoma Aburame adjusted his sunglasses: "Minato, you really don't recognize me?"

"..."

Minato awkwardly scratched his head and smiled.

The "oily woman" group basically all have the same look: wearing a trench coat and sunglasses, and their presence is very weak.

Such people only realize their own existence when they pass away.

Ryoma felt his world had turned gray. After a long silence, he told Minato, "Minato, I am Ryoma. We are classmates."

"Oh, it's Ryoma! I'm so sorry, you joined Root after graduation, it's been so long since we last met."

Ryoma didn't blame Minato, even though he was the top Jonin of Root and also the most outstanding intrusion ninjutsu in the history of the Anbu.

However, his weak presence is a characteristic of the Aburame clan. Once, he was on a mission with Orochimaru, and Orochimaru searched for him for a long time but couldn't find him.

I thought he would disappear without a trace.

Why is Ryoma so good at infiltrating? Because he can walk into the enemy's territory without being seen by the enemy guards.

People of their tribe don't even need a transformation technique to infiltrate.

Minato offered a long apology and finally asked Ryoma to take care of Kakashi and Rin, as he had an important mission to carry out.

Longma agreed.

After Minato instantly left, Ryoma found a place to sit and watch Kakashi and Rin.

He adjusted his sunglasses, showing great interest in Minato's important mission.

After Shuimen left, he took the opportunity to question his two subordinates.

Before Ryoma could speak, Kakashi woke up and looked around, only to see Rin.

"Where is Minato-sensei?"

Rin poured water for Kakashi and said, "Minato-sensei has gone to rescue Obito and Kurenai."

Kakashi nodded, and after drinking the water, he regained some strength.

Rin prayed, "I hope Minato-sensei can rescue Obito and Kurenai!"

Kakashi nodded: "Yes, Minato-sensei is the best ninja in the village. He will definitely rescue Obito and Kurenai."

"And the Rinnegan, so Minato-sensei will also bring Nagato back to the village."

"〣(ºΔº)〣."

Ryoma looked shocked and stood up abruptly: "Rinnegan? You mean the Rinnegan?"

Ryoma's sudden standing up startled Kakashi, who initially thought that Ryoma was attacking again. Only after realizing it was a Konoha ninja did he recognize him.

Lin nodded: "Yes! Ryoma-senpai, Minato-sensei said that Jiraiya-sama had a disciple named Nagato, who has a pair of Rinnegan."

"Lord Jiraiya suspected that Nagato's Rinnegan might have been transplanted from Madara Uchiha, so the Hokage sent us to the Land of Rain to investigate."

Rin wasn't wary of Ryoma, partly because she didn't know he was a Root ninja, and at her level, she couldn't even get close to Root.

Secondly, Ryoma and Minato were classmates, and Minato trusted him a lot, so Rin easily believed Ryoma.

Ryoma transformed into a swarm of insects, grabbed Rin and Kakashi, and moved them towards Amegakure.

He had to inform Lord Danzo of this important information as soon as possible: Nagato of the Akatsuki possessed the Rinnegan, which was suspected to be Madara Uchiha's eyes.
