The Performance Was Over

"Kakashi, you guys went way too far! Who did this? Don't they know Explosive Tag are free? The foundation's been blown up? Damn it... all that money is gone!"

Looking at the mess in the classroom, my already sober mind felt even worse.

"Teacher, it was those three guys who did it. They smashed up the walls and broke the desks to pieces."

Asuma was the first to step forward, pointing to the three culprits.

"Wow! The Explosive Tag wasn't thrown by Asuma... Ugh, Genma, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly cover my mouth?"

Uchiha Obito Shiranui Genma displeasure.

Shiranui Genma, sighed deeply, feeling sorry for this brainless and incompetent idiot. Even the simple-minded Might Guy was smarter than this guy.

"It's heaven... a natural disaster! The Konoha disaster... the disaster that killed the Third Mizukage..."

Just then, a minor commotion broke out among the three missing-nin.

Katsuki's identity was recognized.

Nowadays, all the major ninja villages have long since obtained photos of Katsuki through various channels. Even some small ninja villages and wandering ninjas can get photos of Katsuki and some basic information from the underground black market.

After all, Katsuki is a specially marked dangerous person, the kind who will run away if he can, and if he can't, he'll need to use an Explosive Tag to cover his tracks.

"Withdraw--!!!"

The word "retreat" was uttered with several variations in pitch, the trembling voice rising and falling in waves, yet the timbre was remarkably clear.

The three Stone Ninja missing-nin ninja swiftly sank into the ground, fleeing for their lives!

"Brother Katsuki... Teacher Katsuki, aren't you going to go after him?" Kakashi quickly walked to Katsuki's side.

"Don't worry, they can't escape. Someone will take care of them. I drank a bit too much yesterday, and now I have a terrible headache..." Katsuki slumped over the half-broken lectern, clutching her head. "Here they come!"

A golden flash appeared immediately.

Minato appeared beside Katsuki.

"Minato, I'm leaving it to you. I don't have the strength to deal with those three petty thieves right now... Ugh... My head hurts so much." Katsuki clutched her head and made a mock groan of pain.

My head is definitely not feeling well, but it would be a lie to say I couldn't handle three escaped thieves. The main problem is that this mess was clearly caused by Minato and his gang.

He's too lazy to clean up other people's messes!

"Leave it to me!"

Minato smiled helplessly, and a series of golden lights flashed before disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"So fast! It's Yellow Flash! Genma, Genma, did you see it? It's Lord Yellow Flash!"

Obito shouted excitedly, instantly Shiranui Genma covering his mouth, and stared fervently in the direction where Minato had disappeared.

Shiranui Genma looked helpless. Obito had forgotten to settle the score with him, which left him feeling awkward and uncomfortable. However, his eyes held a similar fervent light to Obito's, filled with reverence for the Yellow Flash.

Yellow Flash.

Minato has now made a name for himself by single-handedly wiping out six elite squads of Cloud Ninja in the Land of Rice, with only one survivor escaping back. His fame has soared ever since.

In addition to his exceptionally good looks and kind, gentle temperament, Minato is extremely popular.

"The classroom's a mess now, let's cancel today's tutoring..." Katsuki said weakly, his damn headache was killing him. Before Obito could cheer, he quickly added, "Everyone stay here and clean up. At least make this place clean, especially the one who threw the Explosive Tag, fill in the foundation."

A groan of despair filled the classroom. Few people enjoyed doing this kind of physically demanding work that required no skill (except for Might Guy). Asuma, in particular, looked miserable as he stared at the huge crater blasted into the ground. Filling this thing in? It felt like it would kill him.

But they dared not disobey Katsuki's orders, and one by one they slowly began to clean the dilapidated classroom, with only Might Guy's energetic shouts echoing in their ears.

My mood inexplicably became even heavier.

"Might Guy, make the slogans more synchronized and rhythmic. It's too noisy and chaotic."

"Yes, Teacher Katsuki."

·······

"You run pretty fast!"

Minato lightly tapped his toes on the telephone pole, frowning with some annoyance. Although he readily agreed to Katsuki Earth Release. Facing an enemy lurking underground, he felt like a tiger eating a hedgehog.

"This is a bit tricky! Looks like I'll have to ask someone for help..."

His eyes darted left and right, and he spotted the prominent Police Force, instantly setting his sights on it.

"Ugh! Slow down, slow down, I'm going to throw up, I really am going to throw up!"

Otoha stood on the ground, swaying left and right like a roly-poly toy. He was already feeling unwell from being drunk, and now that Minato had used the Flying Thunder God Technique to take him on a spin, he almost threw up again.

"What do you want with me, Minato?"

"Do me a favor and force those three intruders out from underground."

Minato smiled and pointed to the ground.

Otoha is a ninja who uses both fire and earth techniques. In addition to the Fire Style Uchiha Clan, he is also highly skilled in Earth Release.

"Intruders... what's going on? Well--! Never mind, just force them out, right? Then get ready to receive the goods." Otoha didn't intend to delve into it. Anyway, he could rest assured that it was in Minato's hands, and he didn't need to worry about any unnecessary problems.

Minato smiled and pointed forward.

Masked ninjas quietly spread out on the rooftops on both sides of the street. Yuki Yashuo arrived with a team of elite Police Force, and the surrounding residents had been safely evacuated.

The net has been laid, and all that's left is to wait for the fish to take the bait and walk into it.

"... Truly as expected of you."

Otoha rubbed his face, formed hand Hand Seals, and instantly merged into the ground.

A moment later, a slight tremor came from the ground beneath their feet, and then three figures rushed out from underground one after another.

"Do it!"

At Minato's command, the net tightened instantly.

"Ice Release: Ice Prison"

Yuki Yashuo acted with lightning speed, instantly forming a spherical ice prison filled with chilling aura and as white as jade, imprisoning a target within it.

"Secret Technique: Super Beast Imitation Drawing"

The black lion-tiger burst forth, fiercely pouncing on its target and biting down hard on its limbs, giving it no chance to escape. There are many capable people in Root, and the one who is making a move now is one of the masters who was subdued by Minato. Relying on the Secret Technique of Super Beast Imitation Drawing, he is one of the strongest people in Root.

"Get down."

Minato silently appeared behind his third target, a pale blue Chakra sphere appearing in his right hand. The rapidly spinning Chakra sphere gently imprinted itself on the target's back...

In an instant, as if struck by a battering ram, the target collapsed into the ground, the Hardening Technique shattered, and he lost consciousness.
