Chapter 31 Unexpected Incident! (Please vote with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets to follow this story)

Hearing Uchiha Shisui's words, Hoshino Shuichi and Kurama Sanyou both looked at the ANBU ninja.

They returned to report, but did not obtain any intelligence.

This problem occurred either during or before the connection.

However, this person looks to be about the same age as Minato Namikaze, and Shuichi Hoshishita has a sense of familiarity with him.

Uchiha Shisui sat cross-legged on the ground, swallowed a soldier's ration pill, and said, "Let's take a quick rest. This kind of urgent mission is unlikely to be easy."

Hoshita Shuichi and Kurama Sanyou nodded in unison, then sat down and each ate a soldier's ration pill.

About half an hour later.

Minato Namikaze opened his eyes and stood up, followed by the ANBU ninja.

"Shuichi, are you guys ready?"

Minato Namikaze asked Hoshino Shuichi and the others.

Hoshita Shuichi and Kurama Yama nodded in unison: "Minato-sensei, no problem at all."

Minato Namikaze nodded: "Alright, let's go!"

Swish swish!

Hoshino and his two companions followed closely behind Minato Namikaze, leaping through the forest and avoiding the many traps that had been laid.

Behind them was the ANBU ninja.

After passing through a vast forest, the Land of Rain came into view, and the group stopped.

Thankfully, it didn't rain.

Hoshita Shuichi muttered to himself, while Namikaze Minato spoke up: "The mission this time is to pick up an intelligence agent. There are many opponents, including wandering ninjas from the Land of Rain, who can also be considered bounty hunters."

"Besides them, there are two more elite forces, and as for their identities..."

Minato Namikaze paused for a moment, then said, "I suspect it's Sand Ninja and Rain Ninja."

Hoshino Shuichi jolted and subconsciously said, "It's related to the last mission."

Minato Namikaze said, "It's not certain yet."

"Once you enter the Land of Rain, be on high alert. Once you've made contact with the intelligence personnel, Shisui, Shuichi, and Sanyo, the three of you will form a group and prioritize bringing the intelligence personnel back to the Land of Fire. The border patrol team will meet you."

"if……"

"If we can't complete the mission, then activate Plan B and bring back the intelligence!"

The three people, including Hoshino, immediately felt a chill.

They knew very well what that statement meant.

If it really comes to that, any one of them can bring back the intelligence.

However, Minato Namikaze suddenly smiled and said, "But there's no need to worry so much. I believe that won't happen."

The atmosphere immediately relaxed considerably, and then the four of them set off again, entering the Land of Rain.

Hoshino Hideichi turned around and glanced at the ANBU ninja that Minato Namikaze hadn't introduced yet. Seeing that he was empty-handed, he slowed down slightly and handed him a kunai.

The man paused for a moment, then took the gift, smiled, and said, "Thank you. I'm Sarutobi Shinnosuke!"

Son of the Hokage!

Hoshita Shuichi was surprised, then replied, "I am Hoshita Shuichi."

The two did not speak again and continued on their way.

And soon Sarutobi Shinnosuke surpassed everyone else and led the way.

In the darkness, the group traversed a barren landscape and crossed two mountains. Sarutobi Shinnosuke stopped and pointed to a town ahead with only scattered lights, saying, "The intelligence agents are currently hiding there, using the complex sewer system for cover, but we cannot confirm their situation at the moment."

"Of course, he will reserve information that can be used to find him."

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze immediately said, "In that case, Shisui, Shuichi, and Sanyo, you three stay behind to provide backup."

"Shinnosuke, let's infiltrate and bring out the intelligence personnel."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded, offering no objection.

As for Hoshino and the other two, they had no choice but to obey orders.

After making their decision, Minato Namikaze and Shinnosuke Sarutobi immediately took action and quickly disappeared from the sight of Shuichi Hoshino and the other two.

After withdrawing his gaze, Uchiha Shisui said, "Sanyo, Shuichi, you two rest and recuperate. I'll take charge of the guard duty."

"good!"

Hoshita Shuichi and Kurama Yama nodded in unison, sat cross-legged on the ground, closed their eyes to rest, and recovered their strength.

At times like this, there's no need for politeness or fuss. The best option is for one person to stand guard while the other two rest to maintain peak condition.

Time passed slowly, and an hour went by in the blink of an eye. There was no movement. Hoshino Shuichi finished his rest and took over the guard duty from Uchiha Shisui.

Before we knew it, it was already broad daylight.

Kurama Sanyou was already getting impatient: "Shisui, Shuichi..."

Uchiha Shisui calmly said, "Don't rush, Sanyo, don't forget the special kunai that Minato-sensei left me last time."

Kurama Yama nodded repeatedly, took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then looked at Hoshita Shuichi, saying with a wry smile, "Shuichi, your mental fortitude is truly impressive."

Just as Hoshino Shuichi was about to speak, Namikaze Minato suddenly appeared with a disheveled man bearing many wounds.

"Minato-sensei!"

All three of them, including Xingxia Xiuyi, were pleasantly surprised.

Minato Namikaze immediately said, "Shuichi, heal his wounds, then you take him back to the Land of Fire first."

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.

Hoshino Hideichi quickly caught the intelligence agent that Minato Namikaze had rescued and then swiftly checked his injuries.

There were many wounds, but thankfully, most of them were not deep.

Hoshita Shuichi immediately asked Kurama Sanyou to help him by bandaging the shallow wounds with medical bandages, while he himself took care of the deeper wounds.

But they only stopped the bleeding and did emergency treatment.

"Thank you, my name is Koichi Haneda."

The intelligence officer offered a weak thank you.

Hoshita Shuichi smiled, took out the soldier's ration pills, and then gave his own sweet soup to Haneda Koichi.

This was his habit; he always carried salt and sugar when going on long journeys or missions. With a water bottle, he could easily turn the salt water and sugar water into a quick solution to replenish his body's needs.

Ten minutes later, Haneda Kouichi stood up and said, "I'm ready."

Uchiha Shisui immediately shouted, "Let's go!"

He led the way, followed closely by Koichi Haneda, while Shuichi Hoshishita and San'yō Kurama followed behind, one on the left and one on the right.

At this moment, Hoshino Shuichi entered a state of 100% focus.

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui, who was at the very front, also activated his Sharingan.

The four of them swiftly traversed the mountains and forests, and soon they had crossed a large mountain.

Suddenly, Uchiha Shisui, who was ahead, warned, "Watch out, enemies are coming!"

Hoshino looked to both sides, his gaze sweeping across the forest. The trees that had been flying backwards quickly slowed down, and he caught sight of the figure leaping swiftly through the forest.

Hoshita Shuichi immediately warned, "There are quite a few enemies..."

"We're surrounded!"

Behind them, and on both sides, were pursuers.

This group of people were very likely already lying in ambush in the mountains.

"Sanyo, you take Kouichi-senpai and go first. Shuichi and I will cover the rear!"

The moment Uchiha Shisui's voice fell, the sound of metal clashing together rang out.

He has already engaged the two enemies blocking his way.

"clear!"

In response, Kurama Yamayo swiftly formed hand seals to complete a genjutsu, assisting Uchiha Shisui in killing his first enemy.

Then, Kurama Yamayo, without looking back, led Haneda Koichi and broke through the battlefield.

Meanwhile, the enemies on both sides swarmed away, completely ignoring Xingxia Xiu.
