From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 133 Kushina's Desperate Efforts to Save Her Husband

Having received his mission, Uchiha Munetsuki selected his ANBU subordinates and prepared to set off.

Because this was an urgent mission with limited time, he didn't linger and immediately led the four of them on a journey called: Reclaiming Minato Namikaze.

The five people on this mission are basically the elite of the elite, the best of the best in the secret service.

As the newly appointed head of the Anbu, Uchiha Muneki led the charge, donning the mask of 'Owl' and remaining silent, maintaining a high-intensity pursuit.

It's important to understand that the longer the time interval, the greater the danger Minato Namikaze becomes.

Although a day and a half has passed since then, the chances of Minato Namikaze surviving are extremely low. After all, he was the Third Raikage, known for his incredible endurance and fighting prowess. He is arguably the most 'bugged' existence in the ninja world to date, especially since Minato Namikaze is not in good condition.

But ultimately, there is still a glimmer of hope!
About ten hours later, Uchiha Munetsuki, leading the ANBU squad, arrived at the location described by Kakashi.

"As expected, it's a sign of the Tailed Beast Ball exploding."

After examining the damaged terrain, Uchiha Muneki quickly made a decision: "Everyone, spread out and search for traces left by Namikaze Minato."

"Yes!"

After a brief but powerful reply, the four members of the Dark Guard transformed into shadows and disappeared into the jungle.

Once everyone was alone, the ground beside them slowly rose, and White Zetsu appeared: "Lord Zongyue, I knew you would come, so I waited for you here."

"what happened?"

Uchiha Muneki frowned slightly and asked.

"Uh, actually it was a small accident."

White Zetsu grinned and scratched his head, saying, "Everything was normal at first. According to the plan, Minato Namikaze was seriously injured, and the Abby duo was defeated. But I didn't expect the Third Raikage to suddenly appear."

"The 'Heavenly Delivery Technique' of Kumogakure?" Uchiha Muneki immediately guessed how the Third Raikage had appeared.

The only ninjutsu that could instantly transport the Raikage from the Hidden Cloud Village to the border of Konoha, spanning hundreds of kilometers, must be the Heavenly Delivery Technique.

"Huh? The Heavenly Delivery Technique?" Bai Jue was obviously familiar with this technique as well, and exclaimed in surprise, "But this technique is said to generate violent friction with the atmosphere, isn't it only used to teleport objects?"

“Originally, it could only teleport objects.” Uchiha Munezuki pinched his brow and shook his head. “But the Third Raikage’s physique was strong enough, so he was the only ninja who could instantly travel hundreds of miles away using the Heavenly Teleportation Technique. He was an exception.”

"Hiss, no wonder he could fight the tailed beasts to a draw, he's a monster!"

Even the White Zetsu, a monster, twitched its lips and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Uchiha Munetsuki asked, "And then? What happened next?"

White Zetsu gesticulated wildly, performing and imitating as he recounted, "Minato Namikaze fought the Third Raikage one-on-one. He hit him with a Rasengan, but the Raikage's skin wasn't even broken. He then severely injured him with a hand chop and dragged Minato and Abby towards the direction of Kumogakure."

"So, Minato Namikaze is still alive?"

Uchiha Muneki felt a little relieved; he didn't want his future Ashura to die before he was even born.

"The Raikage didn't kill him; he probably wanted to take him back for interrogation." White Zetsu thought for a moment, then added, "However, he was quite badly injured."

"okay, I get it."

Uchiha Muneki nodded slightly and said, "Send a White Zetsu to track them and report back to me at all times."

"Yes, Lord Zongyue."

White Zetsu slowly sank into the ground.

Before long, the secret agents who had been sent out to gather clues returned.

"Sir, we have found the location where Minato Namikaze and the Third Raikage fought." One of the Anbu reported truthfully. "Based on the remaining evidence at the scene, we deduced that Minato Namikaze was defeated, was captured by the Third Raikage, and is moving towards the direction of Kumogakure."

“Alright, I understand.” Uchiha Munetsuki pondered for a moment, then said, “Tatsuma, go back and report this to the Hokage. The rest of you, continue the pursuit with me!”

As expected of an elite secret service unit, there was not a single doubt or sign of disobedience.

After giving the order, it was their duty to carry it out. Tatsuma immediately left the group and returned to Konoha.

The remaining people, having traveled at high intensity for more than ten hours, were already exhausted, but they still gritted their teeth and followed Uchiha Muneki along the trail to continue pursuing the Third Raikage and the others.

A day later, they officially entered the territory of the Land of Lightning.

However, the anticipated ambush by the Cloud Ninja did not occur as expected.

Instead, along the way, we saw many strange traces, such as claw marks left on rocks, as if left by some angry beast.

Upon arriving at the first village, Uchiha Muneki waved his hand, immediately stopping everyone.

In an instant, everyone froze, like a still photograph.

"Sky Bird, check what's going on ahead."

Uchiha Munetsuki watched the huge fluctuations that seemed to indicate a battle taking place several hundred meters away, and called out to one of his team members.

"Yes!"

Tianniao stepped forward silently, veins bulging in his pupils, his eyes turning white: "White eye!"

His exceptional eyesight allowed him to peer directly into scenes hundreds of meters away, like through a telescope, with black and white images appearing in his mind.

"Sir, there are more than a dozen Cloud Ninja ahead, besieging one person." He reported what he had seen truthfully, but soon his brows furrowed and a look of horror appeared on his face: "Wait... the person being besieged, no, how is this possible?"

"What on earth happened, Tennori?"

His teammates were intrigued by his shocked tone.

"grown ups!"

Tennori shouted anxiously, "The person being attacked by the Cloud Ninja is suspected to be a Konoha ninja. It's... Uzumaki Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

Uchiha Muneki's eyes twitched violently, and he almost lost control of his expression.

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, the other two Anbu members were shocked: "Tenchō, are you sure you're not mistaken? This is impossible! The Nine-Tails Jinchūriki should be in Konoha, how could he possibly be here?!"

This is a question that Uchiha Muneki also wanted to ask: How did Uzumaki Kushina escape from Konoha?
Are all the people who guard the Jinchūriki useless?!

They actually allowed the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to leave the village, and this woman even got there before them, entering the Land of Lightning ahead of them.

No wonder I saw those strange claw marks along the way; they were all left by Kushina!
"I'm not mistaken, it really is Kushina Uzumaki!"

As Tianniao spoke, she exclaimed again, "Judging from the situation at the scene, she has already partially transformed into a tailed beast! Ah... the fourth tail has appeared!"

The fourth tail suggests that the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beast is nearing the point of going berserk!

Moreover, for some unknown reason, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha actually appeared in front of them and even fought against the Cloud Ninja. This was simply unbelievable!
"Sir, what should we do now?!"

The three Anbu members immediately became anxious, as they were well aware of the importance of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to Konoha.

If something goes wrong, then it'll be all over!
"Protect the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki at all costs!"

Uchiha Muneki gave the order directly, his eyes cold: "Follow me and kill all those Cloud Ninja!"
