S-Rank Reward! Entry Copy!

The steadily widening distance and fierce, tense battle left neither the Hidden Sand nor the Hidden Mist side with any time to spare for the wounded companions they had left behind.

Three crows suddenly shot down from the sky.

A Hidden Mist Ninja who was hurriedly treating his own wounds abruptly looked up.

Before he could draw his Kunai and behead the swiftly approaching crows,

the instant his eyes met the crows', his mind was affected by Yamanaka Kei's Mind Transfer Puppet Curse Technique. His mental defenses collapsed, and he stood there blankly.

In the next moment, Namikaze Minato appeared, and the Kunai in his hand slashed straight across the man's throat.

A flash of golden light vanished beneath the sunlight.

Namikaze Minato had already arrived in front of the ninja targeted by another crow.

Sshk~!

Only after Namikaze Minato claimed the life of another Hidden Mist Ninja did blood finally spurt from the throat of the Hidden Mist Ninja who had been attacked first.

A sense of weakness and suffocation surged into his mind, and the light in his eyes gradually faded.

The three crows flitted through the dense forest like ghosts, providing Namikaze Minato with the best landing points for Flying Thunder God.

And Namikaze Minato truly lived up to the name of the Yellow Flash.

The six people left on the battlefield were all eliminated before they could even last ten seconds.

Thud~ thud~ thud~ thud~

In a town alley, Namikaze Minato tossed the heads of four Hidden Mist Ninjas at Yamanaka Kei's feet.

He himself carried a severely wounded, unconscious Sand Ninja over one shoulder, held an equally unconscious Mist Ninja in his right hand, and carried the Great Sword Samehada in his left. He had also reappeared in the alley.

With a casual toss, the still-burning-hot Samehada landed in Yamanaka Kei's hands.

"Minato, you're awesome!"

Yamanaka Kei grinned and praised his reliable best friend.

He toyed with Samehada for a couple of moments. The sword had been burned dizzy by Scorch Release; it hung listlessly with its mouth open and tongue lolling out.

He took a scroll from the scroll pouch on his chest and directly sealed it inside.

As for the heads of the four Hidden Mist Ninjas on the ground,

he likewise temporarily stored them in a Sealing Scroll.

"Have your Summoning Beasts find a suitable place to hide. Should we relocate first?"

Holding one unconscious captive in each hand, Namikaze Minato asked his close friend's opinion.

The ship the two of them had taken when they arrived had already left after dropping them at the port.

If they wanted to read intelligence from the ninjas' heads, they first had to find a safe, concealed base.

"We're not as familiar with the surrounding area as the Hidden Mist and Hidden Sand. Rather than relocating blindly, we might as well hide right under their noses."

Yamanaka Kei formed hand seals and directly released the Summoning Technique.

The three crows several kilometers away instantly returned to Konoha's Bird Summoning Beast Ranch.

He formed the standard hand seal of the Yamanaka Clan.

He directly used the Mind Transfer Clone Technique on the two unconscious captives.

The two captives had no power to resist as control of their bodies was taken from them.

Using their bodies, Yamanaka Kei performed the Transformation Technique, turning them into flamboyantly dressed women.

He even struck a rather alluring pose toward Minato.

As for himself, he used the Transformation Technique to take on the appearance of a lecherous middle-aged man.

"You... I... Ah..."

Namikaze Minato hesitated several times, then finally sighed helplessly. Imitating Yamanaka Kei's transformation, he turned himself into a greasy middle-aged man.

After removing the lingering smell of blood and any other scents that might lead to them being tracked,

the two of them each embraced a seemingly seductive "young woman."

They swaggered into the most luxurious inn in the town.

Inside the inn's largest suite,

Namikaze Minato set up a simple Soundproof Barrier.

Yamanaka Kei directly began reading the two captives' memories with the "Mind Reading Technique."

The Mind Reading Technique was also known as the Memory Reading Technique.

It was one of the Ninjutsu that had to be mastered to enter the Analysis Team.

Because it placed extremely high demands on one's mental strength, even in Konoha, no more than ten people in total had mastered it.

Within the Analysis Team,

Yamanaka Inoichi's Yin Release mastery allowed him to read a subject's memories from a single day in less than sixty seconds, and he was often praised for it.

But only a select few knew that

Yamanaka Kei needed less than thirty seconds to finish viewing the memories of a normal jonin from a single day!

And after the "Slightly Understand" entry had upgraded into "Konoha Know-It-All," this speed had more than doubled.

Over the five and a half hours from noon until evening,

Yamanaka Kei skimmed through all the memories the two captives had accumulated over the past two years and recorded all the important intelligence on scrolls.

Ding~ S-Rank Class Mission "Obtain War Intelligence from the Hidden Sand and Hidden Mist" completed. Rewards obtained: Entry Draw Chance ×1, Entry Copy Chance ×1.

"!!!"

Yamanaka Kei had just finished organizing the scrolls in his hands.

When he heard the System notification in his mind, his entire body went numb for a moment.

What did he hear?!

An Entry Copy Chance?

A copy chance!

Almost instinctively, Yamanaka Kei turned his head toward Namikaze Minato, who was standing by the room's window.

Space-Time Insight!

The Flying Thunder God Technique he had always longed for had finally become attainable.

Without the slightest hesitation,

Yamanaka Kei directly used this copy chance on Namikaze Minato.

An indescribable feeling surged through Yamanaka Kei's heart.

The space around him began to slowly change within his perception.

In the original world, space had been untouchable, impossible to grasp, ethereal, and elusive. It had been completely impossible to sense.

But with the enhancement brought by the entry,

threads of spatial structure began to emerge, and spatial nodes had nowhere left to hide.

Even the slightest spatial fluctuation could no longer escape his perception.

The spatial coordinates he had tried countless times to sense without success were now crystal clear.

Constructing the Flying Thunder God Technique Formula and establishing spatial coordinates seemed to have become incredibly simple as well.

As long as he wished, he could easily carve out his own Flying Thunder God Mark just like Namikaze Minato.

Moreover, he could clearly sense the Flying Thunder God Kunai in the ninja tool pouch at Minato's waist.

These Flying Thunder God coordinates exclusive to Minato had achieved an almost perfect compatibility with the Chakra within his body.

Yamanaka Kei could vaguely feel that he seemed able to use these coordinates to move as well.

But because of the difference in the nature of their Chakra,

his transfer speed and smoothness would probably be inferior to Minato's by more than just a little.

"Exclusive spatial coordinates?"

Yamanaka Kei understood.

Everyone's Chakra differed from person to person.

Even when their natures were identical and they performed the same Ninjutsu, the effects would still differ slightly.

And with the Flying Thunder God Technique, which already pushed speed to its absolute limit,

such differences would be magnified infinitely.

"Looks like I'll have to study spatial coordinates exclusive to myself as well."
