Naruto: Awakening Eternal Power with My Eye Techniques

Shiyu Uchiha's words immediately made sense to Minato Namikaze. Soon after, Shiyu Uchiha and Minato Namikaze began expanding their search range. Honestly, if the person kidnapped wasn't Kushina Uzumaki, Minato might not have acted this urgently.

At this moment, the squad led by Konoha's Anbu deputy captain was locked in combat with some Cloud-nin. When the Cloud-nin squad leader felt they had delayed long enough, he and several teammates suddenly scattered, paying a certain price to successfully escape.

Thanks to Lightning Release assistance, his speed was extremely fast. Meanwhile, the Konoha forces were fully focused on rescuing Kushina Uzumaki and had neither the time nor the inclination to chase the escaping Cloud-nin. Instead, they continued pursuing Kushina based on the Anbu code.

At this moment, while searching around the area, Minato Namikaze shouted toward Shiyu Uchiha, "Shiyu, I found a clue—Kushina's hair! Let's pursue in this direction!" Immediately afterward, Minato took the lead, activating the [Flying Thunder God Technique] and dashing forward.

Upon hearing that, Shiyu Uchiha recalled the original storyline and trusted Minato's hunch. Without delay, he quickly followed.

However, the Anbu members who arrived later pursued in another direction instead—they trusted their comrades too much.

After desperately chasing, Shiyu Uchiha and Minato managed to catch up with Kushina Uzumaki and the three Cloud-nin spies half a day earlier than originally recorded. At this point, the captured Cloud-nin spies still hadn't exhausted their chakra reserves, meaning they could still put up a fight.

Still, they weren't in good shape either—otherwise they wouldn't have let Kushina Uzumaki walk on her own rather than carrying her, showing just how depleted they were. Originally, Shiyu wanted to wait a bit longer for greater safety.

But Minato feared unexpected reinforcements from other elite Cloud-nin. If that happened, the two of them would be outmatched. After all, these three were merely longtime spies whose combat strength in direct confrontation was somewhat limited—combined, they still wouldn't equal even one highly capable Anbu warrior. They definitely couldn't handle two opponents like themselves.

Moreover, during their long escape, these three had already consumed significant chakra—not only enduring constant travel but also using Shadow Clones to trick Konoha Anbu ninjas. By now, their reserves likely didn't exceed one-third of full capacity.

Meanwhile, Shiyu Uchiha and Minato still had about half of theirs remaining. While the trio advanced, the two used their superior Flying Thunder God Technique to move ahead silently, hiding themselves. Then, as the three passed by, the pair simultaneously ambushed the Cloud-nin guarding Kushina Uzumaki, instantly eliminating him. Following that, Shiyu blocked the other two while Minato rescued Kushina, promptly carrying her away.

Once they realized what had happened, the two remaining Cloud-nin desperately counterattacked. For them, failing to bring back Kushina Uzumaki meant death anyway—at least they'd die as martyrs.

The outcome was obvious. After Minato freed Kushina Uzumaki from her restraints and exchanged a few words with his beloved heroine, he returned slightly late to assist Shiyu. However, by then, Shiyu had already unleashed his full power, defeating the two very mediocre Cloud-nin spies.

Then, Shiyu turned to Minato and said, "Minato, you came back a little late just now. What happened?"

"Shiyu Uchiha could guess what the other party had done, but when your own brother is risking his life in battle, you crossed the line a bit. I must give him a targeted flick."

"Haha, thank you, Shiyu. Kushina was still recovering from her sealed state earlier," Minato Namikaze said, unable to hide the grin spreading across his face as he awkwardly scratched his head, then quickly changed the subject.

Minato felt slightly embarrassed. He had just officially become a couple with Kushina Uzumaki, even managing to hold hands for the first time. Furthermore, with a little help from Kushina Uzumaki, Minato had managed to remove her seal and return her to full health.

Shiyu Uchiha had half a mind to say something else, but considering the location might not be safe, he stopped joking around and took out three specially-made Military Rations Pills instead. He and Kushina Uzumaki each took one. Although Kushina wasn't lacking in chakra, her physical stamina was low, so she also needed the Military Rations Pill.

Then the trio made their way back toward Konoha (the Hidden Leaf Village). While walking, they used the Chakra Refining Technique to absorb some of the pills' energy and restore their physical strength. Before withdrawing, Shiyu Uchiha also sealed the bodies of the three Cloud-nin spies inside a scroll.

There were some differences here from the original story. In the original plot, when Minato Namikaze rescued Kushina Uzumaki, he was already close to the border line. Fortunately, Minato knew there was a Konoha border defense unit stationed nearby, so he went directly there and then notified the village through the border troops.

But now, since they had intercepted the Cloud-nin earlier and were still far from the border defense unit, after discussion, Minato Namikaze and Shiyu Uchiha decided to return to the village.

However, while the three were retreating a distance, Kushina Uzumaki, who was alert and possessed the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, suddenly said, "No good, there are people ahead—it's Cloud-nin; they're chasing us again. There must be something left behind on me by the enemy. That person is strong, but his presence feels somewhat unstable, probably seriously injured."

Shiyu Uchiha and Minato Namikaze exchanged glances. Minato spoke first, "We'll set a trap and kill him together." At this moment, Minato's expression was serious, a flash of killing intent passing through his eyes, his tone extremely cold.

Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but swoon at Minato's cold demeanor. Shiyu Uchiha, having just witnessed an affectionate moment and feeling like he was force-fed a bowl of dog food, was too lazy to speak and instead took immediate action. A minute later, a simple trap was completed.

The plan was straightforward. Shiyu Uchiha and Minato Namikaze used Kushina Uzumaki's Sealing Technique to hide their traces while making Kushina act as bait. She pretended to conceal herself while refining chakra. When the enemy approached, she would use the Adamantine Sealing Chains to bind him, simultaneously triggering the Explosive Tag trap. Then Shiyu Uchiha and Minato Namikaze would launch a secret attack.

Minato Namikaze mastered the same sword technique, so working together, they could perform a combined attack. Although the two had never tried this before, merely improvising based on mutual understanding, they still had full confidence.

The Cloud-nin Anbu Commander approached, hiding himself deliberately, wanting to ambush Kushina Uzumaki. Although he was curious how Kushina had escaped, he still wanted to capture her again—she was currently extremely important to the Cloud-nin.

However, the Cloud-nin captain couldn't evade the Mind's Eye of Kagura. As he approached, the technique locked onto him and the Adamantine Sealing Chains ensnared him. The Cloud-nin captain reacted with lightning-fast reflexes, activating his Lightning Release chakra to enhance his physique and using Cloud-nin's taijutsu in a desperate attempt to break free through sheer strength.

But badly injured as he was, breaking free took half a second longer than it would have at his peak. It was precisely this half-second delay that nearly cost him his life, as the explosive tag trap detonated right on target. Had it not been for Shiyu Uchiha's limited supply of explosive tags, the battle could have ended right there.
