Chapter 142: Leave it to me
Chapter 142: Leave it to Me
"What!"
Kiba almost blurted out.
Kushina was kidnapped? Is Kushina
the target of Kumogakure? That's not right! Wasn't this supposed to happen to
Kushina when she was a child?
At that time, Kumogakure used
Kushina's unique chakra to suppress the Eight-Tails in order to make Kushina
the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki, solving the problem of the Eight-Tails in
Kumogakure. At that time, the Third Raikage suppressed the Eight-Tails many
times. Kumogakure didn't have the right Jinchuriki, so they came to capture
Kushina.
But at this time, Kakashi was
eight years old, and Kannabi Bridge was twelve. There was a description of the
AB combination, the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee, during World War III. At
that time, Killer Bee had also grown up and should have become the Eight-Tails
Jinchuriki.
So, in other words, Kushina is no
longer needed!
Why come to take her away?
Besides, the age doesn't match...
No! Kumogakure's target isn't Kushina's unique chakra, but the Nine-Tails!
Now Kushina is the Nine-Tails'
Jinchuriki. Although this matter is extremely confidential, and even the Sannin
doesn't know about it, only Konoha's higher-ups know. But Kumogakure must have
learned that Kushina is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki through some means.
In fact, there is no need to know
through some means; this can be guessed. Kumogakure has the Eight-Tails and
knows it takes a lot of chakra to suppress a tailed beast. When Namikaze Minato
sealed the Nine-Tails, he said his chakra could only bear half of the
Nine-Tails. At that time, Namikaze Minato was the Fourth Hokage, and he was
able to transfer the Tailed Beast Bomb and the huge Nine-Tails with the Flying
Thunder God technique. His chakra should also be very large, at least above the
Kage-level line. Although it is not as good as the Senju, Uzumaki, and other
clans' perverted chakras, it shouldn't be much different from the Third Hokage
in his prime.
Even so, they could only bear half
of the Nine-Tails Chakra. Kumogakure has the Eight-Tails, and although the
Nine-Tails is the strongest, the Eight-Tails are not much weaker. They know
that suppressing the Eight-Tails requires a huge amount of chakra. The
exceptional ninjas of the Yotsuki Clan eventually couldn't suppress them. In
Konoha Village, the Jinchuriki who can suppress the stronger Nine-Tails would
be one of two: Senju Tsunade of the Senju Clan, or Uzumaki Kushina of the
Uzumaki Clan.
As a Sannin, Tsunade is always
going out on missions and cannot become Jinchuriki. So, only Uzumaki Kushina
remains.
Moreover, the first Nine-Tails
Jinchuriki was Uzumaki Mito of the Uzumaki Clan. So, it is natural to think why
there is only one Uzumaki Clan member left scattered in Konoha Village after
the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed. In Konoha Village, it can be confirmed
that Kushina is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
However, Konoha Village should
keep Kushina's identity and name very secret. It must be a top secret. It is
impossible for other villages to know about Kushina's existence. Kushina has
also been restricted to the village for years... Could it be that Benye, the
intelligence officer, learned the name Uzumaki Kushina from somewhere? Then
figured it out?
This inference is a bit
far-fetched, but it is not impossible!
However, why does Kumogakure want
the Nine-Tails? It is hard enough for them to suppress the Eight-Tails, so why
do they need the Nine-Tails?
Wrong! Jinchuriki exists as a
deterrent force. If Konoha loses its Jinchuriki, and Kumogakure has both the
Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails... then Kumogakure is the strongest in terms of
military deterrence.
Additionally, the Land of
Lightning is a country that advocates military expansion, and Kumogakure
naturally focuses on armaments...
It turns out that this is the
case. The tailed beasts were originally distributed by the First Hokage to
balance the strength of various countries.
Sure enough, it was the eve of
war, and strategic intentions had already begun to appear!
Kiba thought clearly, and at the
same time, his face changed.
Now is not the time to think about these things! In
any case, it is an established fact that Kushina was kidnapped and cannot be
changed!
Now, Kushina must be rescued!
Seeing the appearance of the Third
Hokage and Namikaze Minato, there should be time for rescue!
We have to hurry up. It will be difficult to let
Kumogakure go out of the border!
Thinking this, all of Kiba's
thoughts were neatly integrated into one.
We have to go now! Go save Kushina!
Without further ado, Kiba turned
around and was about to leave.
To the outsiders, after Kiba
yelled "What!", a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
Immediately, his expression changed, and he turned around to leave.
At this time, everyone's eyes were
also focused on Kiba. After all, his voice was enough to attract attention.
Seeing Kiba turn around and leave,
Namikaze Minato reacted the fastest, perceiving Kiba's thoughts. He quickly
grabbed Kiba.
This kid is going to save Kushina. He has enough
talent, but he hasn't fully developed it yet. The opponents this time are not
easy to deal with! It's not just about Jonin or elite Jonin, the numbers and
strength are high.
That person, if Kiba meets him, he will definitely
die!
Don't let him die in vain!
"Kiba, calm down. I will
definitely save Kushina!" Namikaze Minato held Kiba, staring at him
seriously.
"Sensei Minato..."
Hearing Namikaze Minato's words and his determined gaze, Kiba was taken aback.
Although Namikaze Minato is said
to have become famous in the Third Ninja World War, his Flying Thunder God
technique and Rasengan should have been developed, and his strength is already
in its heyday. Although he doesn't have the title of "Konoha's Yellow
Flash" yet, he has the ability to be feared and called "Konoha's
Yellow Flash."
With absolute Kage-level strength,
even if the Third Raikage came to capture Kushina, he should have a way to deal
with it.
Besides, it is impossible for the
Third Raikage to come to capture Kushina, and it is impossible for Killer Bee
and the young Fourth Raikage to come... The three strongest cloud ninjas should
not come, and Namikaze Minato should...
However, if you don't go yourself,
it will be difficult to rest assured after all!
"Kakashi, take Kiba to see
Hirohiko and Yukina." It seemed that Namikaze Minato knew that Kiba
couldn't be persuaded, so he said again, while gesturing to Kakashi.
"Hirohiko? Yukina? What
happened to them?" Kiba's expression changed again.
Could it be that something
happened to Hirohiko and Yukina too! One has the Byakugan, and the other has
the Sharingan. Could it be that...
"Don't worry, they were just
injured, and they are now in Konoha Hospital. Their injuries are serious."
Namikaze Minato looked at Kiba's face and hurriedly added.
Is the injury serious?
"You didn't lie to me? Didn't
you use this to distract my attention?" Kiba stared at Namikaze Minato and
said in a deep voice.
"Would I joke about your
partner?" Namikaze Minato was not angry because of Kiba's tone. He looked
at Kiba seriously, expressing his seriousness.
Kiba stared at him, as if trying
to see a trace of lying on his face, but found that Namikaze Minato did not
lie!
Yukina and Hirohiko were indeed injured, and the
injuries were serious! At least bedridden!
"Leave it to me, Kushina, and
I will definitely save her! She is not only your most important person but also
my most important person!" Namikaze Minato said again, and while speaking,
an indescribable aura slowly emanated from him.
Kushina was taken away, Namikaze Minato was very
angry, even furious! It's just that he didn't show it!
He is more anxious than I am now!
Kiba naturally came up with such
an idea.
At the same time, Kiba was also
taken aback.
The most important person? Kushina... Is it me, the
most important person? Does my current expression make Minato Namikaze think
so?
At this moment, Kakashi stepped
forward, patted him on the shoulder, looked at Kiba, and said, "Kiba,
leave this to Minato-sensei."
Kiba glanced at Kakashi, who
nodded at him. Then, he looked at Namikaze Minato again, hesitated for a
moment, and said, "You will be able to rescue Teacher Kushina?"
"It's not guaranteed, but
Kushina must be rescued!" Namikaze Minato corrected Kiba's words
During this period, the Third
Hokage, Morino Shinsuke, and Kazuma remained silent, watching Kiba.
At this time, Kiuchi Taketo and
Shiga Taketake walked to Kiba's side simultaneously. Shiga Taketake said,
"Kiba, let's go and see Hirohiko and Yukina first. Let's leave it to the
adults."
Kiuchi Taketo added, "The
Third Hokage intends to go into battle in person, and we'll probably be delayed
if we go too."
His tone was soft, showing a
newfound respect for Kiba.
Kiba heard their words, looked at
Kakashi, then at Shiga Taketake and Kiuchi Taketo, took a deep breath, and
said, "I understand."
Namikaze Minato sighed in relief,
then signaled Kakashi to take Kiba away. Kakashi nodded, motioned to Shiga
Taketake and Kiuchi Taketo, and the three boys left Hokage's office with Kiba.
After they left, Namikaze Minato
turned and said, "Then, without further ado, Kazuma, Morino, let's carry
out the mission together after a long time!"
"Right!"
There were smiles on the faces of
Morino Shinsuke and Kazuma.
"Wait a moment."
However, at that moment, the Third
Hokage spoke.
