Helping each other with countless me.

Chapter 44: I am old and unable to do what I want

Li Zhongren quietly looked at the secret letter in his hand, which was sent urgently by the Anbu.

"Mitsuha, what did the Hokage-sama say?"

"Fugaku Jounin, please see for yourself."

"May I?"

"Of course, the Sandaime said that you, me, and Lord White Fang can all read this secret letter."

"it is good."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded and took the scroll.

"what?"

As he watched, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Minister Explosion was actually replaced by someone from the black market?"

"Yes."

Li Zhongren nodded.

"So, the Sandaime deliberately came up with such a plan to clear out all the enemies hidden in Konoha. The good news is that, except for an undercover Kumogakure ninja, everyone else is clean. Obviously, the secret technique on the black market should not be popularized, but the bad news is..."

"understood."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded.

The bad news was naturally because of this undercover. This group of people almost died in Tansho Street. Also, the real reserve Jinchūriki couldn't stand the loneliness and also wanted to go to Tansho Street to play, so he ran away. This made this plan, which could be said to be foolproof, have a huge loophole, so that they had to take the son of the Third Raikage and the reserve Jinchūriki to the border of the Frost Country to trade with the Cloud Ninja.

"However, aren't the Kumo Ninja taking it for granted? They want to exchange a reserve Jinchūriki for two of our men, and they even threaten us with the plan to publicly save the beauty. How could the Sandaime-sama agree to such a threat!"

"The idea of ​​a hero saving a beautiful girl is of course nonsense. After all, we do have a part of the sealed black market members in our hands."

Li Zhongren looked at Hatake Sakumo who was resting with his eyes closed. The psychic horse was running at the same speed as a car, bumping and galloping on the not very smooth road, but it did not seem to cause this future Shura of the ninja world to shake at all.

"What really forced the Sandaime to compromise was that the Cloud Ninja and us were temporarily at a truce after the last battle of Yuchi Mountain, and we were fighting the Rain Ninja, an unexpectedly tenacious enemy. So, if we refused to exchange, we would most likely be attacked by the Cloud Ninja."

"By then, we will be attacked from both sides. With Konoha's strength, we are certainly not afraid of the Kumo Ninja, but the problem is that it is very likely that the Rain Ninja will catch their breath, making our strategic investment in the past few years go down the drain. And the Sand Ninja are a group of untrustworthy villains. If we go to war with the Kumo Ninja and the Rain Ninja on two fronts, they are likely to stab us in the back. I think Lord Hiruzen must have weighed the pros and cons before deciding to accept this exchange."

"Battle of Tangchi Mountain"

Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but sigh, because the hope of their Uchiha clan, Uchiha Kagami, the one who had the best chance of becoming the elder of Konoha, died in this battle.
"I see. Lord Hiruzen is truly wise."

"haha, yes"

Li Zhongren smiled, but he felt quite emotional in his heart.

The ninja hero is still the same ninja hero. His courage is far beyond that of the weak ninja who agreed to hand over his own villagers. But as he grows older, this ninja hero seems to have started to pay special attention to his reputation.

As a result, there was such a loophole in this secret letter. Admittedly, with that person's wisdom, he would definitely fill it up later. After all, if I could think of an excuse, there was no reason why he couldn't think of one. But the fact was that it was not in the secret order.

Could it be that as we age, we really lose our ability to do things? Whether it is psychological or physical——

"Sister, this is the news from the intelligence department."

At the Sand Ninja front, 47-year-old Chiyo was watching the battle situation in the combat command room. Her younger brother, Ebizo, who was in charge of the Sand Ninja Intelligence Center, walked in and handed the scroll in his hand to Chiyo.

"Ha, interesting. No wonder the old man with the snorkel in the Salamander suddenly ran away again."

After reading the information, Chiyo couldn't help but click her tongue a few times.

"Konoha is Konoha, and the ninja heroes are still ninja heroes. But, are you sure that Tsunade Senju has really left the front line?"

"Yes, sister, our spies in the Frost Country have seen traces of Senju Tsunade near Frost Mountain."

"It seems that he must have used the reverse spiritualism technique, otherwise it wouldn't be so fast."

Chiyo put away the scroll and fell into deep thought. After a long time, she suddenly spoke.

"Send people to the Konoha camp to steal Tsunade's potion formula." "Eh? Sister, why is this? Didn't you say that you have already developed an antidote for the poisonous fog of the Salamander Hanzo?"

“It’s not just an antidote.”

Chiyo crossed her hands and placed them on her chin.

"This old man with the snorkel concealed it very well, but there was a gap between his two releases of poison gas. I estimate that it takes about five minutes. Taking advantage of this gap and using the antidote is enough to teach him a profound lesson. However, my brother..."

"The war doesn't end with defeating the Rain Ninja. You have to know that our real biggest enemy will always be Konoha. So, the reason why I have already developed the antidote but have kept it secret is that I am waiting for an opportunity. However, the prerequisite for this opportunity is that I have to obtain the data on that woman's medication habits."

"I see. I'll go there myself."

"Uncle, leave this matter to me."

Suddenly, a young man walked in. It was Chiyo's son, Tianqi.

"You can do that, too."

Ebizo looked at his nephew. He inherited his mother's talent in mechanical arts, especially in controlling puppets over long distances. Even his sister couldn't compare to him. That's why he was given the name Tenqi, which actually means kite in the ancient ninja language. It means that he can even fly a kite with chakra strings.

"I will be responsible for picking you up then."

"No, I'll let Shenyin go with me."

"Oh, you two are inseparable, but it makes my grandson suffer."

Ebizo sighed. The year Sasori was born, World War II broke out. In a blink of an eye, it had been fought for three or four years. His grandson had only seen his parents a few times. However, having said that, his nephew's wife was indeed a perfect match for him and was born with a hidden bloodline limit.

"Then go ahead. In short, just be careful. It doesn't matter if you can't steal any information."

"Uncle, please don't say that. I won't let mother and uncle down!"

"be careful."

Looking at her son, Chiyo had a thousand words to say, but she only said these four words.

The Wind Country is poor, and people do whatever it takes to survive. What about their own son?

"Lord Raikage, the people from Konoha sent a message that they have brought Xiao Ai and Killer Bee here, and they can start the exchange at any time."

"Ah."

At the foot of White Frost Mountain, the Third Raikage looked at the White Frost Mountain in the distance. The straight winds pierced the sky, and the snow on the top of the mountain never melted all year round, hence the name.

"Take the red-haired girl out and keep an eye on the two of them, especially the blond boy. If he dares to untie the red rope, kill the blond girl next to him."

"Yes, Raikage-sama."

"Hey, hey, you big guy, what do you mean?"

After leaving the spore seal and temporarily regaining her ability to move, Uzumaki Kushina looked at the Third Raikage.

"Why not take both of them with you?"

"When did I say I wanted to exchange them? You are the only one being exchanged. They are my captives."

"You!!! Let me go! You bastard. We in Konoha will not allow you to surrender."

Uzumaki Kushina's voice disappeared at the end, but it could still be heard. In the end, her mouth seemed to be blocked.
Looking at the figure of Uzumaki Kushina, Namikaze Minato sighed. Now he had no way out. This strange red rope looked ordinary, but it was extremely tough. It could not be untied in a short time. If it could not be untied, he could not use chakra, and if he could not use chakra, he could not use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Moreover, more importantly, there are no coordinates of his Flying Thunder God Technique in this nearby area.
(Sign language: Minato-kun.)

Yakushi Nono, who was holding Namikaze Minato's hand tightly, had his fingers trembling slightly. It seemed that he was afraid, but in fact it was a unique secret code communication between Konoha ninjas.

(Sign language: Kushina used a sealing technique on me. When she returns, she will summon us back. Next, I will transfer part of the chakra of the sealing technique to you.)

(Sign language: No, this red rope in my hand has the effect of imprisoning all chakras.)
(Sign language: What should we do?)

(Sign language: You go back first. I know the Flying Thunder God Technique. I am alone. As long as I find an opportunity, I can go back.)
(Sign language: OK.)
After a moment's silence, Yakushi Nono did not refute. It was not that she ignored others in order to escape, but she knew very well that she was indeed a burden to Minato Namikaze. Without her, he might have successfully escaped long ago.
