Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

Although the Konoha Village is protecting the Nine-Tails, it would be beneficial to know more information about the tailed beasts or the Jinchūriki in advance.

In today's world, apart from Konoha with the Nine-Tails and the Hidden Cloud Village with the Eight-Tails, the only one left is the Hidden Cloud Village with the Five-Tails.

Therefore, the task that the Konoha high-level officials gave to Sakumo and others this time was to ask them to come and find relevant information about the Five-Tails or the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

Through Konoha's own intelligence capabilities, they provided two possible locations where the Five-Tails might be hiding.

The location of the place was correct, but Sarutobi Hiruzen and others deliberately concealed the possible guarding forces of these two places.

Based on their analysis of Hatake Sakumo's personality, the most likely action Sakumo will take would be to let his companions and himself go on separate paths to explore.

According to the analysis of Konoha's top brass, those guards would at most cause their mission to fail and would not put them in too much danger.

So the final possible development of the matter is that when Sakumo goes to one of the locations, he will find that the strength of the guards is far beyond his original imagination.

Considering the strength of the other group of people, there is a great possibility that he will cancel the mission temporarily and rush to another location to rescue his companions.

In fact, the previous plot was just as the Konoha high-level officials imagined.

After arriving at the destination, Sakumo discovered that the strength of the guards there was far beyond his original estimate. Without much hesitation, he left and rushed in another direction.

You know, the team he led this time is basically made up of members with Chunin strength.

Faced with such guarding capabilities, even a jonin would find it difficult to break through, let alone the chunins.

But the problem is that the subsequent development of the script was completely beyond the expectations of Konoha's top leaders.

After Sakumo found his companions, instead of evacuating as he had imagined, they lost contact with him forever.

The team that was supposed to have returned a few days ago has disappeared without a trace.

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but want to mobilize the intelligence personnel to investigate whether they were really killed by the people from the Iwagakure Village.

He finally received a note sent back by Sakumo through the summoning beast.

There were four words written in scribbled handwriting on the note:

"Crisis, help!"

And this was the last information sent to the outside world by the entire team.

Chapter 98 Isn’t this... bullying?

In front of Kagura and the other two was the place where Sakumo and the others had last stayed according to the mission intelligence.

Looking at Kagura who was looking at the canyon not far away with a serious expression, Hiashi beside him thought for a moment and finally mustered up the courage to say:

"Teacher, shouldn't we go in quickly?

To be honest, it’s been a few days since Senior Li Shuomao sent the message, will they already…”

Although Rizu didn't continue speaking, everyone present understood what he meant instantly.

Kagura turned her head and looked at the two of them. Although Minato did not respond verbally, the expression on his face showed that he had the same thought in his mind.

The two of them now were very different from when Kagura first met them three years ago.

It has to be said that the adolescent development of teenagers is enough to be shocking.

After several years of growth, they have successfully shed the childishness on their faces and have grown into adults.

If the current Minato Namikaze were to put on the Hokage robe, he would basically be the same as the Fourth Hokage in Kagura's impression.

As for Hiashi, he now looked younger than the Hyuga clan leader he remembered.

If I have to describe him, he is now 7% to 8% similar to the grown-up Hyuga Neji in the original plot.

The old man had other considerations for appointing these two people to him, besides the fact that they were his disciples.

As a person who possesses the Byakugan, Hyuga Hiashi has an advantage in reconnaissance that others cannot match.

Especially in the case of unclear situations like the one in front of us, the presence of Rizu can definitely be of great help.

As for Minato, he is one of the only two people in Konoha Village who has learned Flying Thunder God.

Although it is not clear what Sakumo and others encountered, Minato, who has the Flying Thunder God, will undoubtedly be able to rescue them more easily.

As for the strength of the two.

Just a short while ago, they had already obtained the qualifications of Jonin.

He successfully became a Jonin just two years after becoming a Chunin. It has to be said that this made teacher Kagura very proud.

After hearing Hiashi's doubts, Kagura shook her head slightly and replied affirmatively:

"Don't worry, their lives are probably not in danger yet.

At least, Hatake Sakumo is definitely not dead."

This was not because he was confident in the strength of his old friend Sakumo, but because he trusted the system in his body.

After all, the mission to rescue Hatake Sakumo in his body has not yet failed, which indirectly proves the fact that he is still alive.

After hearing Kagura's judgment, Minato and Hiashi did not raise any questions, but nodded in approval.

Although they don't know what the basis of Kagura's judgment is, after spending the past few years together, they have habitually obeyed the teacher's judgment.

Under the cover of darkness, Kagura finally led the two of them closer after making sure there were no traps outside the canyon.

When they approached the entrance of the canyon, Kagura suddenly stretched out her hand and asked everyone to stop.

He didn't say anything, but turned his head and nodded to Rizu beside him.

Although he didn't say anything, Rizu understood what he meant in an instant.

I saw Rizu nodded, veins bulging at the corners of his eyes, as if he had started rolling his eyes.

He carefully observed the direction of the valley for a moment, and then whispered to Kagura:

"There are a total of 7 people's chakra reactions in the canyon, but..."

After lowering his head to organize his words, he continued:

"But the positions of those people seemed a little strange, as if they were controlled by something."

seven people?

Hearing this number of people, Kagura frowned slightly.

According to the information given by old man Sarutobi, Hatake Sakumo is leading a total of 5 team members this time.

Including Hatake Sakumo himself, there should be six people.

Who is that extra person in there?

Could that be the powerful enemy that caused Sakumo to ask for help?

Thinking of this, Kagura couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.

As Sakumo's best friend, he naturally knew how strong Sakumo was.

In Kagura's opinion, even if Sakumo has not yet reached the level of Kage, he is not far away.

How could such an existence be suppressed by one person for several days?

Could it be that the person inside is the Third Tsuchikage - Ohnoki?

But that shouldn't be the case. They just came here to find out the information about the Five-Tails and they didn't plan to snatch it away, so it wouldn't be necessary for the Tsuchikage to take action.

Besides, I've never heard of that Tsuchikage Ohnoki having any powerful control abilities?

Isn't his strongest skill the Dust Release inherited from the second generation, or is it some other powerful skill that I have never heard of?

But after a few seconds, Kagura gave up thinking.

No matter who he is, is there any enemy that I, Kagura, cannot defeat?

After experiencing so many hardships, except for being defeated by Uchiha Madara and the "Six Paths" back then, Kagura did not think that anyone in this world could beat her in a one-on-one fight.

Even if it is Madara, isn't it just the case of the majority against the minority?

Um...

Young spots are also considered...

So it’s not that Kagura is arrogant, but his current strength gives him enough confidence.

It's impossible that I would meet Uchiha Madara whenever I go out on a mission.

Not to mention that this old senior hasn't appeared for a long time.

Besides, as a behind-the-scenes boss, he always needs to be a bit classy.

He would never personally deal with small characters like Hatake Sakumo and a bunch of Chunins.

What's more, if it was really this old man who took action, no matter how much confidence Kagura had in Sakumo, she didn't think he could hold on for several days.

So after ruling out the possibility of Madara, Kagura was now full of confidence.

But even so, he still took a look at the water gate before entering the canyon.

Minato, who was in tune with his teacher's words, didn't need his teacher to say anything. He immediately took out a kunai with yellow runes tied to it and threw it at a big tree behind him.

Kagura did not forget that their mission this time was to rescue, not to fight.

Before coming, the three of them had already discussed the tactics.

Hiashi was responsible for reconnaissance, Kagura dealt with the enemies, and Minato was responsible for using Flying Thunder God to transfer his companions away first.

Seeing that Minato was ready, Kagura nodded and led the two of them into the canyon.

Kagura did not hide her thoughts at all. Her figure flashed and she rushed into the canyon in a moment.

The three of them stopped moving at high speed in an instant and stood steadily on a flat ground in the canyon.

Under the illumination of the bright moon high in the sky, the scene in the canyon was clearly reflected.

The six people, including Sakumo, stood there in a daze with dazed eyes, as if they were possessed by a demon.

Everyone's hands hung limply at their sides, their eyes dilated as they looked upwards with confused expressions on their faces.

However, Kagura just took a quick glance at these people and immediately turned her head to look to the other side.

He did not forget that in addition to these six people, there was another enemy in the canyon.

Just as he had a clear view of the enemy standing above him, a familiar voice came over:
