Chapter 117 Minato Namikaze: We Will Win (Third Update)

"Hmm, possibly. Be vigilant and watch your surroundings; you could encounter enemies at any time."

Minato Namikaze raised his hand to signal the team to halt, then crouched down, touched the bottom with two fingers, closed his eyes, and concentrated. His powerful senses, like invisible ripples, swept across the outpost ahead and the surrounding area.

—This ability was also used by Tobirama Senju, and it is a necessary prerequisite for "Flying Thunder God Technique". The strength of this ability determines the distance of a single teleportation by "Flying Thunder God Technique".

Yu Mikami and Kakashi have also been training in this area recently, but due to their limited proficiency and the fact that their innate talent is not as strong as Minato Namikaze's, they are not yet able to reach the same level as the former.

After a while.

Minato Namikaze opened his eyes, a hint of relief in his blue pupils: "It's alright, the people inside the outpost are from Konoha, and they should be acquaintances of ours—let's go take a look."

A few minutes later.

Yu Mikami and his group met the "acquaintance" inside the low defensive wall surrounding the outpost.

—It was Inuzuka Tsurugi, whom I had met once before.

Six months later, this person's demeanor appeared more upright and capable than before, and his chakra aura was also much stronger than before. However, he had several new and old scars on his face, as if he had experienced many fierce battles during this period.

"Hey, Minato, you're here fast."

"And you kids, it's nice to see you again. You've grown quite a bit taller. I heard you defeated the Sand Village's genius, Pakura, a while ago. You're quite capable."

Inuya Tsuru greeted Mikami Yu and the others cheerfully.

Beside them, the big dog Heiwan barked a few times and wagged its tail, seemingly to express its welcome.

"It's mainly thanks to Yu."

Kakashi said.

Yu Mikami then humbly remarked that it was all thanks to everyone's cooperation.

"Heh, I feel like you've said this before, back when you were chasing down the spy from the Land of Rain, right?"

Inuzuka Tsuru stroked his chin and teased, then gestured, "Don't just stand there like an idiot, let's go inside and talk."

soon.

The group entered the outpost.

It wasn't noticeable from the outside, but now that he's inside, Yu Mikami realizes that there are quite a few people in this building made of rocks and logs, probably more than a dozen.

Besides the two small teams of about seven or eight people that Inuya Tsurugi brought earlier, there were four or five wounded people lying or sitting around, all of them wrapped in blood-soaked bandages and looking exhausted.

"They are all wounded survivors who were scattered when Longyue City fell. We found them one after another in the past two days, learned some information from them, and temporarily settled them here. Unfortunately, we have limited medical supplies and can only provide the most basic treatment."

Inuzuka Tsuru explained.

"Is that so—Yu, Rin!"

Minato Namikaze looked at Yu Mikami and Rin Nohara.

The two understood immediately and went over to begin the rescue work.

Since starting patrol and reconnaissance missions, Yu Mikami's progress in mastering "healing techniques" has stagnated because there aren't many wounded soldiers for him to practice on. Now, he has unexpectedly found an opportunity to continue grinding missions here, which is quite a pleasant surprise.

the other side.

Inuzuka Tsurugi, accompanied by Namikaze Minato, Kakashi, and Obito, walked to the stone table inside the outpost and looked at the simple map on it: "The current situation is this: the Oborozuki Castle outpost has indeed been lost, taken down by an elite Sunagakure unit in collusion with spies."

"The number of Sand Ninja currently stationed in the city is unknown, but it is certainly not small, at least twenty or thirty people. In addition, the watchtowers outside Oborozuki Castle have also fallen into the hands of the Sand Village. Each watchtower has one or two small teams, possibly equipped with puppets or traps."

"----Understood."

Minato Namikaze nodded: "In other words, to reclaim Oborozuki Castle, we must first remove these thorns in our side. Otherwise, even if we manage to infiltrate the vicinity of Oborozuki Castle, we'll be attacked from both sides, right?"

That's right.

Inuya Tsurugi nodded: "However, my personal suggestion is to wait for Jiraiya-sama's response before making a decision. After all, although we currently have three squads, we still have too few people to take care of the wounded and deal with possible sneak attacks."

"It's alright."

Minato Namikaze smiled gently: "Yu and Kakashi have both fought against Jonin, and I will also lend a hand."

"As long as we act quickly enough to take down these strongholds before all the Sand Ninja gather, there shouldn't be any problem."

Actually, even if all the Sand Village forces were to gather, it wouldn't be a problem.

After all, Minato Namikaze is currently developing the "Spiral Flash Super Rumble Roaring Style 3". Even though the technique is not yet fully completed, he can easily crush a group of ordinary Chunin and Jonin without much effort. The most they can do is run away.

However, Minato Namikaze is still quite modest at the moment and is too embarrassed to do all the work by himself. Moreover, he also wants to use this operation to train Yu Mikami and the others, so he has to hold back a bit.

After some discussion.

The two leaders have devised a strategy.

"Claw, the southwest stronghold is quite far away and heavily defended, so I'll take over it. The northwest and northeast are yours, along with Yu and Kakashi. Leave two or three others here to take care of the wounded, that should be enough."

Minato Namikaze said.

Inuzuka Tsuru hesitated slightly: "I'm fine with it, but what about Yu and the others? After all, they have the advantage of terrain, and Yu and the others are still a bit too young—"

"It's okay, I believe in them. They will win."

Minato Namikaze smiled.

"

Mikami Yu, who was bandaging the wounded, glanced over there, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

Although Minato Namikaze is not a white-haired man.

But the other person's words gave him a sense of déjà vu, as if he were fast-forwarding to "I'm sorry I couldn't satisfy Lord Uchiha Madara" —

That night, Yu Mikami and the others rested briefly at the base.

Although the accommodations here weren't great, they were still better than sleeping in the open. And with the people from Inuzuka Tsuru there, Mikami Yu and the others didn't need to take turns keeping watch anymore. So they managed to get a good night's sleep and woke up feeling refreshed the next day.

Inuzuka Tsurugi had already led a group out to scout ahead of time.

At the outpost, most of the patients who had been lying motionless the day before had shown significant improvement after being treated by Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin. People warmly greeted and thanked the two of them.

"Please don't stand on ceremony, this is just our duty."

Yu Mikami responded with a smile, and then checked each of their injuries again.
