Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 482 Three Sewer Rats

"Hiruzen, Minato is outside. He says he has important information to report to you."

Inside the secret room, Biwako entered and immediately spoke to "Li Yao," whom she saw as her husband.

At this moment, Li Yao was squatting on the ground, piecing together a transparent glass tube. Beside him, in a cage, were three large black rats squeaking and grinding their teeth.

Three black rats, each the size of an adult's fist, with fur as sharp as steel needles, were covered in rotten vegetable leaves from the sewer, emitting a foul stench.

Not far from Li Yao, the third generation was tightly bound by ink-wash chains, his mouth wide open, with one end of a transparent glass tube inside his gaping mouth.

At this moment, the Third Generation was filled with fear, but when he heard his wife say that Minato had come to find him, his eyes suddenly shone with an astonishing light.

Watergate!

It's a water gate!!

The third generation roared inwardly.

If it were Minato, with his sharp mind, he would definitely have noticed the anomaly.

"Tell him to leave the intelligence scroll behind and go rest. I can't leave here. I'll see him tomorrow."

Without turning his head, Li Yao instructed Biwako that he knew Minato was back immediately, but the timing was wrong; it wasn't time to make a move against him yet.

They had to make sure Minato personally witnessed the loving moment between him and Shinjiro before sending him off on his final journey.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Biwako, who had been reborn through her "husband," was very obedient and immediately went to inform Minato.

Having witnessed this scene, the Third Generation, having regained his memories, knew it was nothing new. At this moment, he continued to roar inwardly.

It's useless!

Minato will definitely notice something is wrong.

Even if he doesn't make a move tonight, Minato's special chakra perception will definitely be able to see the memory sealing technique on him when he sees him tomorrow.

The Third Hokage placed all his hopes on Minato.

Once people know of Li Yao's existence, he will no longer be able to hide.

Konoha and the clan were thus saved.

At the entrance to the Anbu base, after hearing the Third Hokage's words relayed by Biwako, Minato's unease intensified.

"I didn't write the information on the scroll. Since the Hokage is so busy, I'll come and report to him again tomorrow."

After speaking, Minato focused his attention on the chakra of Biwako-sama and the Anbu ninja.

"Alright." Biwako nodded and smiled, "You've worked hard, Minato. You must be tired too. Go home and rest."

After saying that, Biwako turned and walked into the Dark Division base.

No change in chakra?

Minato's heart skipped a beat; Lord Biwako was not controlled by the illusion.

The same applies to the ANBU ninjas; their chakra levels remain unchanged.

"Could it be... that the Hokage really can't get away?"

With these questions in mind, Minato left without attempting to storm the Anbu base.

After all, Lord Biwako was not affected by the genjutsu, the Anbu ninjas were all normal, and there was nothing unusual about Konoha in the chakra perception.

That must mean that the Hokage really has something to do and can't leave.

Minato thought to himself.

Although he was still somewhat uneasy, he decided to leave it at that for now and everything would be clear when he met the Hokage tomorrow.

Now, let's go home.

Thinking of Shinji Nai waiting for him at home, and that gentle, water-like body that was the complete opposite of Shinji Nai's fiery personality, Minato, this warm-hearted man, couldn't help but tremble slightly and quicken his pace unconsciously.

But when he got back to his front door and saw that the lights were off, Minato fell silent and stood there for a long time without opening the door and going inside.

A few minutes passed, but there was still no movement inside the house.

Minato's originally fiery body cooled down in front of this dark house.

"Ugh! Kushina... why are you sleeping so early?"

Minato sighed softly, turned and left without disturbing Shinjiro, who was already fast asleep, and headed towards his house.

However, I was still somewhat puzzled.

What did Shinobu do during the day?

She went to bed so early last night, and slept so soundly that she didn't even realize she was at her doorstep.

In the past, no matter how late he came home, as soon as he got close to the house, Kushina would sense his chakra waking up.

But not this time.

This is somewhat unusual.

Minato simply trusted his chakra perception too much.

Sensing that Kushina's chakra was stable and there was nothing unusual, and considering that this was Konoha, Minato was puzzled but didn't think much of it. He was just curious about what his wife Kushina had done during the day that made her go to bed so early at night.

"We'll find out tomorrow!"

Minato thought to himself, "I won't think about it anymore."

ANBU base.

Inside a sealed room.

A maze-like, winding glass pipe had been erected on the ground, one end inserted into the gaping mouth of the third generation, and the other end inserted into the cage containing three starving sewer rats.

"Alright, Hiruzen!"

Biwako gently plugged the Third Hokage's nose with two drops of the ink-like colloid that Li Yao had condensed, then turned around and said gently to Li Yao.

Li Yao beckoned, and Biwa Lake immediately blushed, came over, bent down to hold the bedside, and her round, pert buttocks swayed from side to side.

The third generation, lying on the ground, watched this scene without any reaction. Instead, the three squeaking and grinding rats at the end of the glass tube filled him with terror, and he struggled incessantly.

Bang bang bang!

Whoohoo!

The sound of glass pipes colliding, along with the sound of the third generation's heavy breathing, traveled along the pipes into the cage.

The hot breath from the third generation's violent breathing also lured the three large rats in the cage, who were almost starving, through the pipes.

Three mice sniffed the air, tentatively took a step, and crawled towards the direction from which the heat was coming from.

Squeak... The glass pipe was a bit slippery, and three sewer rats gripped it with their paws, making a sound like teeth grinding.

Hearing the terrifying squeaking sounds and feeling the trembling of the three sewer rats' claws gripping the glass pipe, the third generation's eyes widened in fear, and his whole body struggled and twisted violently.

But it was no use; one end of the glass tube was firmly inserted into his mouth.

On the contrary, his struggle caused him to exhale a lot of hot air, which made the three sewer rats even more frenzied. They used all four legs to frantically move towards the pipe outlet in his mouth.

Snapped!

With a thought, sixteen solid fireballs suddenly condensed in the secret chamber.

In an instant, the secret room was brightly lit.

Illuminated by the intense firelight, the three sewer rats became even more frantic, running wildly through the glass pipe in the direction of the heat.

The squeaking sound kept fueling the fear in the third generation's heart.

Just like Li Yao before, the process before the rat enters one's mouth is the most terrifying.

"what!"

"what……"

Finally, the three sewer rats walked through the long glass pipe to their new home, and the fear that had been building up in their hearts for three generations finally erupted at that moment.

"what……"

At the same time, Li Yao also erupted with the most intense emotions, enjoying the ultimate sense of revenge.

The two enjoyed the exhilaration of their emotional outburst together.
