January 37, Konoha 8.

Namikaze Minato, the newly promoted Chunin, set out on the journey to the Land of Grass with the elite Jonin, Hatake Sakumo, known as the White Fang of Konoha.

The two of them were not moving very fast.

The first night was spent camping on the border between Konoha and the Land of Grass, avoiding the main battlefield.

The sky is full of stars, so gorgeous.

During the break, Hatake Sakumo asked, "Minato, what are your thoughts on this mission?"

Minato Namikaze felt a little embarrassed to speak after hearing this.

Hatake Sakumo smiled gently and said, "Don't worry."

Namikaze Minato nodded and said, "Senior, the Kannabi Bridge is extremely important to the Iwagakure ninja, and it will definitely be heavily guarded."

"And we will also take precautions, so we might encounter an elite team of Iwagakure on the way."

Hatake Sakumo nodded and signaled Minato Namikaze to continue.

Namikaze Minato said: "The key lies in the heavy guards at the Kannabi Bridge. It is difficult to break through under normal circumstances. It will take more time to prepare if you want to blow up this bridge."

"My strength is limited. The reason why the Third Hokage asked me to follow you on this mission must be because I mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"Senior, all you need to do is throw a kunai with the Flying Thunder God Technique onto the Kannabi Bridge, and I will be able to move over instantly and set up the detonating tags at a speed that the Iwagakure cannot react to."

As he said that, Minato Namikaze took out his Flying Thunder God Kunai and showed it to Hatake Sakumo.

And the implication of his words is also very clear.

Senior, you just go ahead and leave the bridge blowing up to me!

Hatake Sakumo took the kunai and looked at it, then smiled and said, "Space-time ninjutsu?"

"Where's the Second Hokage's special technique!"

Namikaze Minato nodded.

Hatake Sakumo put away his smile and said seriously, "Then do as you say, Minato. When you get to Kannabi Bridge, you hide for the time being, and I will take care of breaking through the blockade."

Namikaze Minato nodded quickly: "Understood!"

Silent all night.

The next day, Namikaze Minato and Hatake Sakumo entered the Land of Grass.

According to intelligence, the power of Kusagakure has shrunk, almost equivalent to giving up the area except Kusagakure.

However, the Kusanagi Village's resistance for several days bought Konoha time to deploy its troops on the border and stop the Rock Ninja from entering the Land of Fire.

But the Land of Grass is currently considered enemy territory, so both Minato Namikaze and the others are very cautious.

First, it advanced along the northern border of the Land of Grass, and then headed diagonally towards the Kannabi Bridge.

The Grass Kingdom also has lush vegetation, but unlike the vast forests of the Fire Kingdom, there are many kinds of giant fungi here.

Suddenly, Namikaze Minato, who was walking in front, stopped, and Hatake Sakumo, who was behind him, immediately showed admiration in his eyes: "Very keen perception!"

This is not a perception ninjutsu, but the normal five senses.

Namikaze Minato squatted down, pointed one finger at the ground, and performed the perception ninjutsu that he had just mastered.

"1, 2, 3... a two-man team, the others should be clones."

At this moment, an eye appeared from behind the tree: "Is that kid... a sensory ninja?"

"And...that hair color, that sword, could it be Konoha White Fang?"

Keigo's expression changed and he immediately gestured to his companions hiding behind him.

If it really is Konoha White Fang, then we must be extremely careful.

After sensing this, Minato Namikaze turned to Hatake Sakumo and said, "Senior, please help me clear the enemy lines!"

Hatake Sakumo nodded, he also wanted to see the strength of Minato Namikaze.

After taking off his backpack, Minato Namikaze exerted force on his feet and rushed out like a swift leopard.

“Very good speed!”

Hatake Sakumo secretly praised.

His vision is so sharp, and his speed is not something that an ordinary Chunin possesses.

It is obvious that Minato Namikaze has an extraordinary talent for speed.

He should be an agile assassin-type ninja like him.

shhhhhh!
A large number of shurikens flew over. Minato Namikaze waved the kunai in his hand, knocking all the shurikens away. Then he swung his arm and shot the kunai in his hand towards the enemy.

Keigo simply tilted his head to avoid the swift attack.

But the next moment, Minato Namikaze disappeared from his eyes.

Bang!
Minato Namikaze appeared behind Keigo, grabbed the kunai with one hand, and kicked Keigo to death.

Shadow clone!
As expected, Minato Namikaze continued to advance at high speed, blowing up the enemy's clones one by one.

Keigo's real body looked at him in surprise: "This kid is really fast."

He immediately formed seals, and a large number of sharp rock spikes emerged, spreading all the way and sweeping over Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze immediately threw the kunai in his hand, and it hit the tree in front of Keigo with a bang.

Keigo looked up and saw Minato Namikaze's Rasengan coming down with his right hand.

"When?"

Keigo was shocked.

At the same time, another Iwa Ninja who was hiding was also frightened and quickly threw several shurikens at Minato Namikaze, but was knocked away halfway.

But it was Hatake Sakumo who also threw a shuriken to intercept it.

boom!
Keigo, who had no time to react, was smashed into the ground by the Rasengan.

This time it’s the real body!
After defeating one enemy, Namikaze Minato immediately disappeared from his original position and headed straight for the second Iwa Ninja.

Earth escape - Rock Cannon!
Earth escape-earth flow!
Earth Escape-Earth Stone Dragon!
One earth-style ninjutsu after another, but they were all avoided by Minato Namikaze with his speed, and then he killed the Rock Ninja.

The art of rock fist!

With his fists wrapped in rocks, the Rock Ninja rushed out and went straight for Minato Namikaze.

Namikaze Minato raised his hand and threw a kunai, but the Iwa Ninja had already noticed something was wrong with the kunai and waved his hand to knock it away.

Swish!
Minato Namikaze disappeared and appeared in mid-air. He grabbed the flying kunai with one hand and threw out the second kunai with his left hand.

beep!
The kunai was nailed on the mushroom umbrella, and the Iwagakure ninja subconsciously dodged it, but Minato Namikaze immediately appeared at the place where the kunai was, with a Rasengan in his left hand, and suddenly rushed forward. The Rasengan pressed against the abdomen of the Iwagakure ninja who was dodging the kunai and whose feet had not yet touched the ground.

"what!"

The Iwagakure screamed, and the clothes on his abdomen shattered instantly.

As Minato Namikaze pushed hard, the Iwagakure ninja's body suddenly spun and flew out, crashing into the tree trunk with a loud bang, exhausted.

Swish!
Namikaze Minato disappeared from his original position and appeared in front of the Iwagakure. The kunai in his hand swept across and tore the Iwagakure's neck. "Well done!"

Hatake Sakumo came forward carrying Minato Namikaze's backpack.

"Thank you, senior!"

Minato Namikaze put away his kunai while panting slightly, took the backpack and thanked Hatake Sakumo.

After a moment, the two continued on their journey.

Next, the two encountered three waves of Iwagakure ninjas in succession. They were all elite teams. Although not all of them were Jonin, they were at least senior Chunin.

But Hatake Sakumo just played a supporting role and plundered the enemy all the way, allowing Namikaze Minato to show his strength.

And Minato Namikaze did not disappoint, using perception ninjutsu, Rasengan, and Flying Thunder God to chop down enemies along the way, showing strength that was no less than that of a senior ninja.

"There wasn't a single mistake. He's truly a perfect ninja. Minato's achievements will surely far surpass mine in the future."

Hatake Sakumo made an extremely shocking evaluation of Namikaze Minato.

In the afternoon, the two finally arrived at Kannabi Bridge.

Looking at Minato Namikaze who had finished sensing, Hatake Sakumo asked, "How is it?"

Namikaze Minato looked solemn: "It is indeed heavily guarded."

"Twelve people, but this should only be a part of it."

"There must be Iwagakure on the other side of the bridge, but they are too far away to be detected clearly at the moment."

Hatake Sakumo nodded, then said, "Leave the matter of getting through the defense line to me. You just get ready."

Minato Namikaze nodded, handed the kunai to Hatake Sakumo, and pointed out the location where the Iwagakure was hiding.

After everything was ready, Hatake Sakumo drew his sword and rushed out.

"So fast!"

Minato Namikaze looked at it and exclaimed inwardly.

He felt that Hatake Sakumo was like a ray of light.

"Is this the origin of the title of Konoha White Fang?"

Minato Namikaze opened his eyes wide and tried hard to keep up with Hatake Sakumo.

shhhhhh!
Rock bullets shot out from the darkness.

Hatake Sakumo dodged easily, but the stone dragon pounced on him. He swung his sword into the dragon's mouth, and with a roar, the stone dragon collapsed.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Two Iwagakure ninjas appeared, attacking from both sides, their blades clashing and sparks flying.

But in the blink of an eye, screams reached Minato Namikaze's ears, and blood splattered in his eyes.

"Sakumo-senpai's swordsmanship is even more powerful than Xiu-senpai's."

Minato Namikaze couldn't help but think of Hideo Hoshita.

"It's Konoha White Fang!"

"careful!"

"Notify the other side!"

The loud shout of the Iwagakure rang out, mixed in with the roar.

The earth is shaking and the terrain is constantly changing.

Minato Namikaze followed carefully behind, watching the white light that was like sharp teeth, tearing through the Iwagakure's defenses, passing through numerous obstacles, and killing his way through the Iwagakure's position.

Of the twelve Iwagakure ninjas sensed by Minato Namikaze, eight were killed in this short period of time.

What Minato Namikaze saw was that six of them were killed in the instant of the confrontation.

powerful!
too strong!
"An equally powerful ninja as Xiu-senpai, though with two different fighting styles."

Minato Namikaze hid his body.

At this time, Hatake Sakumo, who had passed through the Iwagakure defense position, finally reached the bridgehead of Kannabi Bridge.

On the opposite side, figures leaped over.

Behind them, four Iwagakure ninjas were chasing after them.

Hatake Sakumo flashed and came to the bottom of the Kanmubi Bridge. He raised his hand and the Flying Thunder God Kunai flew out and nailed it on the bridge pier.

shhhhhh!
The Iwagakure's attack arrived, Hatake Sakumo dodged, and then fought with the Iwagakure who was in front of him.

The ninja swords collided, and sparks flew.

While fighting with the Iwagakure ninja, Hatake Sakumo threw kunai.

Either the bridge pier or the bottom of the bridge.

Such behavior blended into the battle and did not attract the attention of the Iwagakure at first.

Until Minato Namikaze suddenly appeared in a kumu.

Pulling out the kunai and placing down the detonating talisman, Minato Namikaze disappeared.

"not good!"

"That rascal……"

An Iwa nin noticed Minato Namikaze's movements and quickly shouted, "Quickly stop that blond boy!"

Several Iwa Ninjas who came from the other side of the bridge immediately pounced on Minato Namikaze, and some even tried to destroy the detonating tags.

However, Minato Namikaze was too fast.

He flashed one after another and replaced the kunai with a detonating tag.

When the Iwagakure ninja was about to destroy an explosive talisman, Namikaze Minato raised his hand.

Boom!

Gravel flew everywhere, and the Iwagakure screamed as he was blown away.

What followed was a series of explosions, rocks flew into the air, and the huge bridge across the deep canyon began to collapse rapidly.

When the explosion ended, Minato Namikaze and Sakumo Hatake stood side by side on a remaining bridge pier, surrounded by Iwagakure ninjas.

Surrounded!

"Kill them!"

The Iwagakure shouted.

But the next moment, Namikaze Minato and Hatake Sakumo disappeared from the spot.

In the Land of Grass, two figures appeared in a clump of grass.

After collecting the Flying Thunder God Kunai, the two quickly retreated.

The Rock Ninja was slow to react, and the Sensing Ninja took a while to find the two men's tracks. They immediately rushed forward and chased them closely.
