rock ninja log

"The left leg is injured, the supplies have been consumed, and at the same time, the minimum mobility and lurking ability are maintained..." Jiraiya stopped in front of a footprint. There was nothing else found after the footprint. At this time, Minato's test has ceased.

Pure tactical prowess turned into a battle of wills. "I persisted for eleven days despite being seriously injured, and traveled 90 kilometers. So far, I have not found any fatal loopholes... I passed half of the Fire Country."

Touching his chin, he looked up at the darkening sky, "If it were me, would I be able to persist in such a bad situation?" Jiraiya looked solemn.

But the solemn look did not last long, "Ah ha ha ha ha~" a burst of laughter suddenly sounded, "With Tsunade here, how could I be so seriously injured, a ha ha ha ha~"

"That's right, little Minato still lacks the necessary companions. There must be someone who is good at medical ninjutsu, as well as a kid who is good at sealing, illusion, and detective..." Jiraiya counted his fingers carefully and calculated how to return.

How can the village find the most suitable companion for Minato?

"Medical Ninjutsu, Sealing Technique, Illusion Technique Specialty..." After reciting something silently in his mind, Jiraiya's expression became strange. He thought of a certain red-haired girl.

"That's great," Jiraiya chuckled happily, "With such a companion, we won't be in desperate situations." Another important problem was solved, Jiraiya took out his notes and jotted down a few strokes.

After that, it disappeared into the jungle instantly.

He was going to chase Minato, and so far, protecting Minato, who was about to reach his limit, had become his top priority.

Because of Uzumaki Shinkuna's special nature, Jiraiya gave up the idea of ​​seeking a companion for Minato, and later he promoted Shinkuna and Tsunade to learn medical ninjutsu. From then on, Uzumaki Shinkina and Namikaze Minato

, the perfect combination of jinchūriki and talented magicians, a shining combination in the ninja world was born.

…

Minato's golden and handsome half-long hair has disappeared. He crawled out of the mud pit and fell into the water again, not to mention the ones that were torn off by branches in the jungle. Coupled with the intense sunshine and the almost lustful

Crazy sweat flowed through the burning pain of the wound, and he grew his hair a little longer for the sake of looking handsome, but it almost drove Minato crazy.

Under Minato's kunai-trimmed hair, which looked like a hedgehog, was a pair of bloodshot and slightly cloudy eyes.

"What a hateful guy..." A cross-branched branch firmly supported Minato's body, preventing him from losing the support of his left leg and completely losing his ability to fight.

The solid and durable ninja uniform had long been worn and hung on Minato's body. Under the tattered clothes, you could vaguely see a lot of scratches still leaking blood. It seemed that he had gotten into a bush or something not long ago.

The serious injury to his left leg was caused by a huge round stone. Forced by the predicament, Minato was still using various methods to calculate the enemy. The round stone with a huge gap quickly rolled down the hillside.

, should have the same power as a doshi dango. Minato's idea was good, but he overestimated his physical condition, and he could not easily move a rock that was too huge when he was exhausted. Minato's left leg was in such a condition

The one who was crushed under.

Minato could no longer feel the existence of his left leg. Only the annoying flies buzzing around the twisted ankle reminded Minato that his situation was not good. He might have lost his left leg permanently, but this did not scare Minato.

, after all, the even more miserable White Fang senior is still teaching at the Konoha Taijutsu School. Ninjas are the kind of people who can never give up, right?

There should be a Konoha border guard post nearby, and Minato was already very close to it. No matter how you looked at it, it was the best choice for Minato, who was barely holding on to his body and was swaying and might collapse at any time, to seek help from the Konoha ninjas, and so was Minato at the beginning.

Think so.

When he was very close to his target, Minato hesitated.

"Ahem...a very strange enemy." He breathed heavily, his eyes moving rapidly with the movement of his brain, "That guy can kill me at any time, but time and time again...why can I escape?"

Jiraiya released the water without leaving any trace, and finally Minato, who was attentive and thoughtful, noticed the abnormality.

"Yes, Konoha's outpost is the enemy's target!" After thinking everything through, Minato thought he had seen through the enemy's conspiracy. A look of determination flashed across his eyes. Then, after making an important decision, Minato temporarily changed

in another direction.

…

The Konoha outpost, which changes defenses every two months, has an unexpected visitor.

"Hey, Jiraiya, why are you here, you idiot!" A certain chunin who was at the same level as Jiraiya looked excitedly at Jiraiya who appeared outside the trap, "Are you here to replace us?

"

"Be careful, Okamine, we didn't receive a notice from above." Captain Okamine was much calmer than Okamine. His eyes were fixed on Jiraiya who was outside the danger range, and his hands were tied with hand seals.

, dangerous spells may be triggered at any time.

"Ha~ I'm so exhausted. This is outpost B, so the code should be Shen_Xin_Hai_Kun_Wu_Wei_Chou, right?" While yawning and rubbing his eyes, Jiraiya suddenly crossed over

The trap zone appeared in the middle of the tight swastika formation of three Konoha ninjas.

Regardless of the three Konoha companions who were so frightened that they were stiff, Jiraiya said to himself, "In a while, a Konoha brat may pass by here, and I may beat everyone away!"

Stretching out his thumb and grinning to reveal his bright teeth, Jiraiya smiled mischievously, "Don't worry, I won't use too much force."

Jiraiya, who was waiting for Minato, was drinking mushroom soup comfortably by the campfire. As time gradually passed, Minato, who was supposed to be here, was still missing. Jiraiya understood that things were beyond his expectation again.

"Jiraiya, that child won't be taken away by a terrible beast, right? Since..."

Okamine reminded Jiraiya kindly, but when he turned around, he saw that Jiraiya had disappeared, leaving only the flames that were blown by the wind and kept beating.

Three days later, Minato finally rushed back to Konoha. The first person to notice him was not the Uchiha Guards who had completely taken over Konoha headquarters, but Sarutobi, the third Hokage who was always monitoring Konoha Ninja Village. The art of telescope and crystal

The ball can see everything in Konoha Ninja Village.

"Third-generation-sama, this is the new report card for each ninja branch..."

The Hokage family probably likes to come and go without a trace. The Sarutobi clan ninja holding a pile of information opened the door of the Kage's office. There was no one inside, leaving only a half-open window that was shaking.

"Um, did Hokage-sama fly away just now?" The young Sarutobi tribesman thought for a moment in a playful way, then he obeyed his duty and gently closed the door, and stood holding a thick pile of folders.

Waiting at the door.

…

"Minato, wake up, what happened?" Sarutobi found Minato who had fainted in a stream not far outside the village. While delivering medical chakra to Minato, Sarutobi gently woke Minato up.

The anger could barely be concealed and burst out.

"Grandpa, cough... there are enemies... here..." Finally he was sure that he was in a safe place. Minato couldn't hold on anymore, and he fainted with a tilt of his head. (To be continued)
