I'm in Naruto, but the system says I'm in One Piece.

Upon hearing this, Minato looked up at the person who had come, and seeing that it was Hoshino Yu, he jumped down and walked towards him.

Once the other person was in front of him, Hoshino Yu asked:

"Kid, are you alright?"

"What?" Minato asked in confusion.

Hoshino Yu pointed to the corpses on the ground:

"What's with these half-bodied bodies? You dismembered them one by one with kunai?"

However, Hoshino Yu knew that the opponent must have used the Chidori technique, which he had only recently learned, to perform an instant kill.

The missing parts of those corpses were mostly charred black, clearly a side effect of the high temperature of the lightning release.

As for why he said that, he wanted to first bring Minato back to his senses.

As expected, Minato scratched his head with a slightly apologetic look on his face before saying:

"There's nothing I can do, Yu. You know how Chidori is when it's used. If you want to kill quickly, this is the situation that will happen."

"Alright, mission accomplished, evacuate immediately."

After saying that, Hoshino Yu carried the head of the rogue ninja and sped off towards Konoha.

Seeing this, Minato also put away his kunai, leaped onto a tree branch, and disappeared in no time.

The return journey was always shorter than the outward journey. After traveling briskly for half a day, the two found a spot in a forest and decided to spend the night there.

Actually, they can return to Konoha very quickly. As long as Hoshino Yu summons his summoning beast Raihan, they can arrive at that speed very soon.

But Hoshino did not do that.

The real reason is that he wants to hone his long-distance running skills.

He took out the food from his inventory and handed it to Minato, who looked somewhat puzzled.

"Yu, why are you carrying these things?"

As Minato looked on in confusion, his gaze fell upon the ninja tool pouch at his waist, and Hoshino Yu smiled and said:

"We asked someone to put these out on time when we came out, so they shouldn't have gone bad yet. Let's eat them now and see."

"It'll take several days to get back to the village from here. You don't want to eat soldier's rations every day, do you?"

Seeing this, Minato was somewhat helpless; he really didn't want to taste the soldier's ration pills.

This stuff sounds good at first glance, but in reality, apart from replenishing chakra and stamina, the taste is completely negligible.

Hoshino Yu took out two roasted chickens, skewered them on freshly picked bamboo, and roasted them over the fire for a while until the chicken skin began to sizzle and ooze oil.

The firelight illuminated their faces, yet the images presented were entirely different.

Hoshino Yu kept her eyes fixed on the chicken, afraid that if she got too close to the fire, she would accidentally burn it.

Minato frowned slightly, as if he still harbored some resentment about what had happened during the day.

As the aroma of the grilled meat filled the air, Hoshino Yu took it in front of him and ate it straight away, his mouth dripping with oil.

Minato felt a little hungry and took a few bites.

Seeing this, Hoshino Yu laughed instead.

If you can eat, it means the problem isn't too serious; if there were a real problem, you wouldn't be able to eat by now.

"Yu, what are you laughing at?"

"I remembered something happy."

"What is it?" Minato raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious. "Tell me, let me have some fun too."

Hoshino Yu shook his head upon hearing this, remaining silent, which left Minato completely baffled.

Although my friend has been acting strangely for a long time now.

He was unaware that Hoshino Yu suddenly sensed a small group of people, and that these people all possessed chakra.

It wasn't attacking them directly, but rather heading towards the direction of Konoha.

There are generally two possibilities for this happening in the middle of the night: one is that they are Konoha ninjas who have completed their mission and are on their way back; the other is that they are ninjas from another country.

Clearly, Hoshino Yu was sensing a different possibility.

"It seems like anyone can enter the Land of Fire; I've never heard of anyone failing to invade it," Hoshino Yu thought to himself.

There's nothing we can do about it; the so-called patrol team hasn't shown any real effectiveness yet, so it's understandable that they're being criticized.

However, Hoshino Yu didn't intend to interfere with the other party's activities. They weren't coming towards him, so why bother with such trivial matters?

As long as it's not something extraordinary like Six Paths of Pain or Tailed Beasts, Konoha shouldn't have any major problems at this stage.

Life isn't all about fighting and killing; sometimes you need to relax.

Just as Hoshino Yu was grilling chicken wings, wanting to continue chatting with Minato, the ninjas' route suddenly changed, and they rushed towards them.

"Tsk, what a troublemaker," Hoshino Yu thought to himself.

He guessed that the fire in front of them had probably attracted the other party's attention.

Minato was still in a daze.

"Stop spacing out, something's up."

Upon hearing this, Minato's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he immediately took out kunai from his ninja tool pouch, preparing for battle.

"The target is three kilometers away, a total of eight people, and they are heading this way. Their strength consists of one Jonin, five Chunin, and two Genin."

"What?!" Minato exclaimed in shock. "How did they get in?"

"Of course, they walked in openly and honestly."

Hoshino Yu extinguished the fire in front of him, then pulled Minato and fled backward.

It can only be said that the Land of Fire is riddled with holes, and any ninja can enter. But this is normal, as most people are eyeing the Land of Fire as a piece of fat meat, thinking of getting a share of it.

"Listen to Minato, people die when they are killed. Even if you don't kill others, others will kill you."

"So don't feel guilty. Different positions mean different things to face."

"When you have the ability to end these wars, won't you be the one to decide how the ninja world develops?"

Hoshino Yu murmured:

"So just focus on doing what needs to be done now."

Upon hearing this, Minato fell silent.

What my friend knows and sees is much more thorough.

Hoshino Yu didn't care what the other person thought. He had already said what he needed to say, and no matter how things developed, it shouldn't be worse than in the original story.

With Minato's talent, he should be able to adapt quickly and become the seemingly gentle but actually stern Minato Namikaze that we will know in the future.

However, the next Hokage will probably be Orochimaru before he mutated.

After World War II and World War III, having accumulated a great deal of military merit, it will naturally be time for him to rise to power.

At this moment, the ninjas arrived at the spot where Hoshino Yu and the others had been. Upon seeing the extinguished fire, the Jonin leading the group immediately had a bad feeling.

"The enemy has spotted us. Retreat."

The other ninjas also acted decisively, following the Jonin as they left.

Hoshino Yu, along with Minato, were lying in ambush in the shadows. He was assessing whether to make a move based on Minato's strength, which was also a way to train Minato's judgment.

Don't just rush forward blindly like the protagonist in a shonen manga, ignoring everything and charging ahead recklessly.

It's easy to die in the ninja world.

It's worth noting that even the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, died on the battlefield.
