Two hours, no matter from any aspect, is enough for Uchiha Chen to rush to Minato's coordinates.
When he arrived, Minato was still on guard by the pit. Nawaki, who had lost consciousness, was already lying at the bottom of the pit, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. Mikoto was lying on the other side. Maybe he was too tired and fell asleep.
"What's going on?"
After taking a few breaths, Uchiha Chen asked. After more than an hour of running around, not to mention chakra, even physical strength was consumed a lot.
"We were attacked by the Suna Ninja and separated from the original team. Nawaki was injured and poisoned. Now the nearby Suna Ninja have begun to shrink their defenses. We can't break out with our strength."
Minato scratched his dusty blond hair and said.
"Yes, I understand. You should also rest for a few minutes."
A long period of highly concentrated investigation is actually very tiring, let alone Minato being monitored all the time for more than an hour.
After Uchiha Chen went down to the bottom of the pit, he habitually checked Nawaki's injuries. Then he remembered that he didn't understand medical skills or how to dispel toxins, so he had to stop his fingers.
Unexpectedly, such an action woke up Mikoto who was sleeping at the same time.
Mikoto jumped up instantly like a spring that was compressed and released.
Then without looking at it, a Kunai pierced through.
"..."
"Mikoto, it's me."
Kunai used his left hand to stab Kunai, and Uchiha Chen pressed his right hand on Mikoto's forehead, causing her to stop attacking before she woke up.
After a few more seconds, Mikoto finally opened her eyes. When she saw the boy in front of her, she burst into tears.
Uchiha Chen stretched out his hand, wiped her tears, and said, "Okay, it'll be okay as long as I'm here."
During the break, Uchiha Chen also studied the nearby map.
"This place is relatively close to the main battlefield camp. Let's go there first."
"Minato, you are carrying Nawaki on your back. Mikoto, you are protecting them from the side. I will stop the Sand Ninja and open a gap. Base will have someone to pick you up soon."
"Yes!"
Uchiha Chen thought for a while and found no other omissions, and then jumped out of the pit first. Following him was Minato who was carrying Nawaki, and the last one was Mikoto.
"You try to keep up with my speed. We will break out quickly and return to the Konoha main battlefield camp in the shortest possible time."
According to Minato, the Sand Ninja are tightening their defenses. Their breakout will basically have two results, either they will run into Sunagakure's Puppet Master team, or they will return to the camp on the main battlefield unimpeded.
The route on the battlefield is so big Sunagakure No matter how many ninjas there are, it is impossible to block all the roads. Moreover, the main battlefield camp is not far from here. Even at their speed, twenty minutes is enough time to get back.
Minato The reason why they did not go back was purely because their strength was not enough to deal with the Sand Ninja on the main battlefield.
After all, the enemy they need to deal with is no longer the Sunagakure team led by the elite Chunin like the edge battlefield. Coupled with the injured Nawaki, it is simply impossible to get through Sunagakure's defense line.
After Uchiha Chen arrived, Minato and the others had enough confidence to rush towards Konoha's camp. As long as they don't encounter people with levels above Elite Jonin, Uchiha Chen has enough confidence to protect them and leave safely.
Stepping on the stone, Uchiha Chen rushed out at the same time as the chakra exploded.
He took care of the speed of several people, and did not mention the fastest, but even this was enough for Mikoto and Minato, who was carrying Nawaki on his back.
At such a speed, it was certainly impossible for them to pay attention to their surroundings, so their investigation had to rely on the Big White in their arms.
The four of them rushed quickly like this, halfway through the journey, but there was still no trace of the Sunagakure ninja around.
At this moment, a white Signal Flare pierced the sky and exploded with dazzling light in the night sky.
"..."
Uchiha Chen doesn't remember when Konoha used white Signal Flare. This Signal Flare is the standard configuration of Sunagakure, which he had seen on the edge battlefield at night.
The source of Signal Flare is to my right, not far away.
But walking towards the camp with such a big fanfare, it would be strange not to attract the attention of Suna Ninja's Sensor Ninja. Although they didn't dare to hunt around Konoha's camp, they were still very confident at this distance.
"Please pay attention to your own safety. I will try my best to break the blockade of the battle line for you. You can run to the camp quickly."
Uchiha Chen also took out a red Signal Flare from Ninja Pouch and threw it towards the sky without hesitation. From this distance, any ninja who was not sleeping in the camp could see it.
But this approach may bring about a serious consequence - Konoha and Sunagakure will start fighting again!
But at this time, I can no longer care about so much. If they continue to hesitate, several of them will die here.
At this time, in Konoha Base, Tsunade, who had just finished the operation, grabbed Orochimaru's collar, causing the surrounding ninjas to look sideways.
"What did you say?!"
Orochimaru also noticed the strange looks around him, so he pulled at his clothes, but found that he was motionless. He could only say helplessly, "Team One was ambushed by the Sand Ninja while on a mission."
Tsunade's face gradually became ugly. Orochimaru felt the collar getting tighter and tighter, so he quickly said, "Don't worry, I have asked Chen to go to the rescue."
After a moment of silence, Tsunade loosened his clothes. "Where are the coordinates? I'll go now!"
"Chen has already gone. With his speed, they will have already left by the time you arrive."
Tsunade said angrily, "I can't just do nothing, that's my brother!"
"You go to the camp on the main battlefield now. They should go there directly." Orochimaru thought for a while and continued, "But you must be prepared for battle. If Chiyo knew it was your brother, he would definitely not let this opportunity go..."
"She dares!"
Tsunade did not continue to talk nonsense, and walked straight out of Base wearing a white coat with an attitude of being bearish on life and death and taking action if he didn't accept it.
Orochimaru looked at her back and sighed. He knew that something was not right with Tsunade since Mito passed away.
It seems that I am afraid of death.
Tsunade also knew this fear, but she couldn't overcome it.
Over the years, her relatives seemed to have been cursed. From her grandfather to Second Grandfather, to her parents and grandmother, none of them died normally.
At some point, she began to feel fear in her heart, fear of the death of her loved ones. She couldn't imagine what would happen to her in the future if Nawaki died.
Probably... can't even become a ninja, right?
