Naruto Uchiha Rong Lin

Rushing in might lead to encountering some unforeseeable dangers. Although they had collected intelligence, no one could guarantee the accuracy of the intelligence, or the enemy's personnel movements. It was even possible that by the time you rushed into the base, you would find yourself already surrounded.

Anything impossible could happen; these were all uncertain. That's why Katō Dan hinted at Minato like this. Minato hesitated for a moment but still agreed.

Thus, Rong Jin became the one to provide support.

Outside the base, Rong Jin observed the enemy's hidden underground base with his Byakugan, a strange smile playing on his lips as he looked at Katō Dan.

I hope you can deal with the enemies before you, and don't end up getting slapped in the face after trying to act tough.

The intelligence provided by the village clearly had some discrepancies with the situation inside the base. For example, the number of enemies and their strength were not quite right.

The number of people in this base was slightly more than reported in the intelligence. There were also two more powerful Jōnin and two Special Jōnin. Rong Jin wasn't worried about Minato; proficient in the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could leave in minutes and wouldn't be trapped in an encirclement.

Katō Dan, however, was different. This fellow's frontal combat strength seemed lackluster. If things went wrong...

"Heh heh, hope you can come out safely."

After glancing at Katō Dan's retreating figure, Rong Jin sneered twice inwardly, pretending he knew nothing.

"Move out!!"

After all preparations were made, Minato gave a wave of his hand, and he and Katō Dan ran towards the base entrance. The entrance to the base was in a ditch overgrown with weeds and was not guarded by Cloud ninjas. The two entered smoothly.

"Split up and act."

Upon entering the base, Minato nodded to Katō Dan. As a senior, Katō Dan showed no dissatisfaction and quickly ran towards the other side. Minato chose the opposite direction.

Rong Jin secretly observed the two, appearing nonchalant.

"Heh, encountered an enemy. The Spirit Transformation Technique is quite good, really strong for assassinations. Indeed, this kind of sneaky stuff is very suitable for this damn thing."

Katō Dan, who encountered an enemy in the base, stopped from afar and used the Spirit Transformation Technique. He directly entered the patrolling ninja's body and invaded the opponent's mind, easily killing him. A Special Jōnin died so wretchedly in the corridor just like that.

On the other side, Minato's battle was even more awe-inspiring. A golden flash, and any enemy encountered would fall to the ground, turning into a corpse. Although their numbers were quite different, in terms of strength, Katō Dan wasn't even fit to carry Minato's shoes.

Observing Minato, Rong Jin's expression was somewhat solemn.

The Flying Thunder God Technique truly lives up to its name. But what if he were fighting me?

"Heh heh..."

Rong Jin suddenly chuckled. He had thought of a certain outcome.

"Who's there!!"

Katō Dan's luck was bad. He chose a route with more enemies, and the leader of the enemy base happened to be on this side as well – an elite Jōnin.

"Not good!! I've been discovered."

Katō Dan was greatly alarmed, not expecting to run into the enemy leader.

In such a base, there would definitely be powerful ninjas guarding it, mostly elite Jōnin. If Minato had encountered him, he could have easily taken the opponent's life. This was also the heaven-defying aspect of the Flying Thunder God, allowing Minato to defeat many enemies whose strength surpassed his own.

But Katō Dan was not Minato. He himself only had Jōnin-level strength. Weak in frontal combat, he could only run!!

"Get him!!!"

The Cloud elite Jōnin instantly realized that an enemy had infiltrated the base. He shouted loudly and charged out first.

A group of subordinates immediately followed him, leaving the resting room.

"The chaotic pursuit of demons begins~"

Rong Jin watched Katō Dan fleeing desperately. Fortunately, the base wasn't too deep underground, so he could see everything clearly.

Katō Dan was in a wretched state, that was for sure. Cloud Village ninjas, apart from being famous for their Lightning Release chakra, were also renowned for mostly practicing taijutsu. Their speed was much faster than ordinary ninjas. Not to mention, the opponent had people whose strength surpassed Katō Dan's, their speed also exceeding his, and they had a group of subordinates.

Faced with such enemies, Katō Dan could only flee with his head in his hands.

Watching Katō Dan running around everywhere, Rong Jin suddenly thought of a phrase, "a dog fleeing its home"...

Being chased by many Cloud ninjas from behind, Katō Dan's situation was indeed not much different from a dog fleeing its home. He ran everywhere, and being unfamiliar with the base, he was nearly surrounded several times and suffered some injuries. He looked extremely wretched, his hair disheveled, his clothes tattered. The attacks of Lightning Release ninjutsu were very fierce, crisp, numbing...

Rong Jin wanted to laugh out loud, clutching his stomach, but he restrained himself.

Although doing so was not kind, since the target was Katō Dan, he was more than happy to watch it as a good show.

Katō Dan fled desperately. On the other side, Minato's progress was quite good and smooth. Any enemy he encountered was easily dealt with by him. He soon infiltrated the depths of the base. It was also thanks to Katō Dan being discovered that some people were drawn elsewhere, providing convenience for Minato.

"This guy is really unlucky, choosing a path with so many enemies, tsk tsk."

"Should I provide support?"

Rong Jin couldn't fight so many enemies either, but helping Katō Dan escape would be very easy!

As for the mission, Minato had already succeeded on the other side. If Minato wanted to leave, no one could stop him. A single Flying Thunder God, and he'd be gone, leaving the enemy unable to even touch a hair on him.

"No, no."

Rong Jin muttered to himself at 0.2, "If I go to support, how should I explain knowing Katō Dan encountered danger?"

"Forget it, less trouble is better. Whether he lives or dies is his own ability."

Rong Jin decided not to provide support, but he wasn't idle either. He went to the entrance of the base and started setting up traps. If Katō Dan fled to the cave entrance, then these traps would have to stop the enemies!

Otherwise, if things went wrong, Rong Jin himself might get into trouble. Although he longed for battle, he wouldn't foolishly rush in. At this moment, the mission was still paramount.

"Got it!!"

Quickly dealing with the two Special Jōnin guarding the secret room, Minato obtained what the mission required and prepared to evacuate.

He would never have guessed that Katō Dan was currently fleeing for his life like a stray dog.

"They're coming!!!"
