Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

After thinking carefully, he immediately ran towards Kushina's house.

According to the analysis of the situation when Kushina left with him for the last time, she had already bought gifts in advance and it was impossible for her to run away somewhere else.

So after the separation, her only route would be from the mission center to her home.

Then there are two routes from her house to Kagura teacher's house.

It was not too late when the three of them separated.

Although today is New Year's Eve, there are still many people on the streets of Konoha.

Putting himself in their shoes, if he were those robbers, he would definitely not choose to kidnap Kushina on the road.

Then the most likely place for the crime to take place is Kushina's house.

So without any hesitation, he figured it out and rushed over quickly.

After arriving at Kushina's house, Minato pushed open the door in front of him without any hesitation.

The door in front of him was obviously not locked, and it opened directly with a gentle push.

Walking in quickly, Minato immediately looked inside the house.

There were no signs of fighting as expected, but the windows in the room were open.

He hurried over to check, and after careful search, he finally found a red hair outside the windowsill.

Looking at the familiar hair, his eyes narrowed and he had already made a judgment in his heart.

On the other side, in the woods outside Konoha Village.

At this time, Kushina was being held hostage by three Genin from the Hidden Cloud Village and was running towards the outside of Konoha Village.

Kushina seemed to have lost her strength and could only be held hostage and flew away from Konoha Village at a rapid speed.

But in a place where the three Genins couldn't see, Kushina, who had lost her strength, was secretly pulling out her hair and throwing it quietly on the side of the road.

At this moment, what she was thinking about was Kagura's figure.

"Teacher, you must see the clues I left!"

Chapter 40: Where did that Jonin go?

Kushina had no idea where the people holding her hostage came from.

In order to better sneak into Konoha, these people took off their forehead protectors in advance.

After living in Konoha for several years, the painful experience she had in the Land of Whirlpools was slowly forgotten by her.

Although she lost her parents, Uzumaki Mito and Tsunade both gave her enough love and care.

And unlike other places, Konoha Village gave her a sense of peace and warmth that she didn't have anywhere else.

After living in this environment for several years, the experience in the Whirlpool Country seemed like a long time ago.

So after saying goodbye to Minato and Hiashi, Kushina went straight home without any precautions, just like usual.

Just like people living in China, they never imagine encountering dangers like bomb attacks in their daily lives.

Kushina had never thought about what dangers she would encounter in Konoha Village.

So when she returned home with joy and was ambushed by people lying in wait at home, her mind was still blank.

The people in ambush seemed to be well aware of her abilities and did not give her any time to fight back. They immediately launched a sealing ninjutsu.

This seems to be a small sealing technique that can only be used on individuals.

As the enemy tore open the scroll in his hand, a formation composed of countless strange characters spread out densely in the room with Kushina as the center.

In just a few breaths, those strange symbols penetrated into Kushina's body like a tide.

As the sealing technique was successfully released, Kushina couldn't help but grunt.

She only felt that the surging chakra in her body disappeared with the release of the sealing technique.

Without her chakra, all her strength was drained away, and she collapsed to the ground.

Seeing the three people succeeded, they didn't hesitate at all. One of them immediately grabbed Kushina with one hand and rushed out of the window.

All this was done in just a few seconds without attracting anyone's attention.

And these ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village who sneaked into Konoha had obviously also explored the route to Konoha Village in advance.

Under the cover of night, the three men took Kushina hostage and left the village along a secret route.

They seemed to have mastered the escort route of Konoha Village and did not encounter any Konoha ninjas during the entire process.

Looking at the Konoha Village getting farther and farther away from her, Kushina felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart.

However, her childhood experiences prevented her from being overly panicked.

Although she had lost all strength and was unable to resist, her hands were still able to move.

While the ninja who held her hostage was concentrating on the journey, she secretly pulled out her hair and scattered it on the road, hoping that Teacher Kagura would notice it and catch up with her.

Just as she pulled out another hair and threw it out secretly, the three men suddenly stopped and stopped on an empty flat ground.

"It should be here."

"Yes, that's right. The meeting place we agreed on earlier is right here."

"But why didn't I see the contact person?"

“Well… the target came back earlier than expected, and we were also a little ahead of schedule.

Wait a minute, someone should be here soon."

Hearing the conversation between the three, Kushina's heart slowly sank.

When she was first held hostage, Kushina still had certain expectations for Konoha's guards.

Although she had lost the ability to resist, she could see that the three people holding her hostage were at most Genin level.

Of course, if one is at the Jonin level, there is no need to use sealing techniques to seal one's own abilities.

As the ninja village of the Land of Fire, Konoha naturally has its own defensive forces.

Such an enemy could be easily dealt with by any Konoha guard.

But these people were obviously prepared and managed to avoid many patrolling guards along the way.

In the ninja world, basically anyone who can become a jonin will be recorded by the villages in each country and regarded as a person of special attention.

Therefore, in order not to attract Konoha's attention, the Hidden Cloud Village sent three Genin to carry out this mission with the sealing scroll.

After all, compared to the Jonin, a ninja from another country at the level of Genin would hardly attract any attention even if he sneaked into the Konoha Village.

And now, they were apparently waiting for the takeover outside the village.

If I'm not mistaken, the recipient should be someone at the Jonin level.

If I fall into the hands of a Jonin, my chances of returning would be extremely slim.

Thinking of this, Kushina felt a little flustered and kept praying that Teacher Kagura would arrive as soon as possible.

On the other side, not far from Kushina, a young man with yellow hair was following the route the three people had taken.

He would stop from time to time during his pursuit, as if he was looking for something.

After a while, he picked up a red hair from the ground.

After taking it in front of him and observing it carefully, he continued to chase in one direction with a calm face and determination.

Not long after, Minato, who was running fast, suddenly stopped.

He immediately hid his body behind a big tree and cautiously looked forward.

Not far from him, he saw three tall figures standing in an open space.

One of them was holding a young girl hostage.

Looking closely, he realized that the girl was the one he had been looking for all this time - Uzumaki Kushina.

When Minato finally found Kushina, there was no joy on his face. Instead, he frowned and began to think.

Finding people is nothing, rescuing them is his ultimate goal.

After thinking for a while, he had already made a decision in his mind.

On the other side, the three Genin also had some doubts in their hearts.

Logically speaking, even if they arrived earlier than planned, the jonin shouldn't be so late.

You know, as a ninja, it is unheard of to be late when performing a mission.

Just when one of them was about to say something in doubt, a soft sound suddenly rang out from the dense forest beside him.

The three people who were already alert reacted immediately and drew the kunai from their waists.

In the moonlight, several shurikens flashed with cold light and flew towards them.

However, the speed of those shurikens seemed a bit slow and could not cause them much trouble at all.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Following several noises, everyone swung the kunai in their hands and easily knocked away the shurikens one by one.

But the man holding Kushina hostage might be concerned about the hostage in his hands.

He did not use kunai to knock away the shurikens like his companions did, but instead jumped onto a tree to dodge.

Just as the remaining two people were picking up the shurikens, a figure suddenly appeared from the woods and rushed towards the two people on the ground.

Minato jumped high into the air, with the seals in his hands completed.

With a deep breath, he blew a huge fireball at the two Genin on the ground.

This is exactly the ninjutsu he learned from Kagura, Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu.

Without any resistance, the huge fireball instantly engulfed the two men.

After the fireball disappeared, only two charred figures could be seen lying on the ground.

Seeing this, the last person hiding in the tree quickly put down Kushina in his hand and was about to attack Minato who had not yet fallen in the air.

But just as he was about to exert force with his feet, a figure appeared silently behind him.
