My Teacher Dares to Eat Shit!

After arranging everything, Namikaze Minato hurried through the woods with Uchiha Mai, pursuing the fleeing enemies.

As an Elite Jonin, Minato's ability to track enemies and sense chakra was exceptional, not much worse than Kakashi's ninja hound, Pakkun.

In the forest, Minato followed the traces left behind by the enemy while briefing Mai, who was running beside him. "I have a rough impression of this ambush team.

That middle-aged man is their captain. His name is Narita Daisaku, a Jonin from Kumogakure who joined Kumogakure's Anbu a long time ago.

I don't know the other four very well. Their strongest members should only be around Chunin level, so you can handle them.

Once we catch up to them, if they scatter and flee, you only need to hold one enemy back. You don't need to kill them.

After I deal with the others, I'll go help you."

Uchiha Mai nodded. That was about all he was worth anyway. Holding back one fish that slipped through the net would count as success.

"One Jonin and four or five Chunin—there's no question that this is an elite squad.

Why would such an elite squad appear in the heart of the Land of Fire to ambush Lady Tsunade, while our Anbu knew nothing about it?"

Uchiha Mai asked as he ran.

The Anbu's primary duties were assassination, gathering intelligence, preventing foreign enemies from infiltrating Konoha, and eliminating enemy spies within its borders.

"I don't know.

But I've gotten used to this sort of thing. What happened back then was even more outrageous than this." Minato complained numbly.

Do tell.

Fine, there was no need to explain. Uchiha Mai already knew which incident Minato meant.

Kushina, who came from the Uzumaki Clan, was brought to Konoha and raised to become the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki after Uzumaki Mito.

The Uzumaki Clan excelled at Sealing Jutsu and possessed abnormally large chakra reserves by nature, making them the best candidates to become Tailed Beast Jinchuriki.

Kumogakure's Tailed Beast, the Eight-Tails, was the strongest Tailed Beast aside from the Nine-Tails.

Their Sealing Jutsu was already rather poor, and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Blue B's physical condition was completely shot, causing the Eight-Tails to go berserk multiple times.

Naturally, Kumogakure set its sights on Kushina and sent ninja deep into Konoha to abduct her.

If the young Minato had not tracked her by the red hair she tore off and scattered along the way, Kumogakure's Eight-Tails Jinchuriki might not have been Killer B.

Something like this had also happened in the original story. The Hidden Cloud delegation kidnapped Hinata, and when Hyuga Hiashi pursued and killed the kidnappers, Hidden Cloud refused to let it go. The village then pushed Hizashi Hyuga out as a scapegoat.

It was utterly ridiculous. It made Konoha seem like the Land of Light—anyone could stroll in for a visit. It was even less guarded than a public restroom.

"By the way, Mai, you saved Lady Tsunade immediately. You must have noticed the ambush beforehand.

How did you discover them?"

With nothing else to do, Master Minato asked curiously, treating it as a test for his disciple.

Uchiha Mai struggled somewhat to keep up with Minato as he replied, "The road we took ran east to west, while the trees beside it were positioned north to south.

Over the course of a day, the sun rises in the east, reaches the south at noon, and sets in the west in the evening.

For trees growing in the wild, the side exposed to sunlight will have denser branches and leaves than the shaded side due to photosynthesis. That's an unavoidable law of nature.

At the time, I noticed that one tree by the roadside had denser branches and leaves on its shaded side instead. I suspected someone had used the Transformation Technique to ambush us, so I became more vigilant."

The enemies were just too stupid.

I see. Namikaze Minato nodded slightly. So his reason for detecting the ambush was the same as mine? This kid has a bright future.

The two exchanged words as they raced through the forest, tracking the enemy's trail.

After traveling for more than half an hour, Namikaze Minato suddenly stopped, his brow furrowing as though he had discovered something.

"What is it?" Uchiha Mai asked.

"I think we no longer need to pursue them." Namikaze Minato's gaze turned grave as he pulled a kunai from his pocket and threw it at an ancient tree twenty meters away.

Smack!

Just before it struck, the ancient tree suddenly transformed into the middle-aged ninja. He slapped the kunai away with one hand. It was Narita Daisaku, the Kumogakure Jonin who had led the ambush against Tsunade earlier.

Clap, clap, clap...

Forced to reveal himself, Narita Daisaku remained calm and applauded with a smile. "As expected of Namikaze Minato, one of the finest ninja of Konoha's younger generation.

You detected our ambush with ease."

"I won't make the same mistake twice." Master Minato replied coldly.

Another ambush?

Uchiha Mai narrowed his eyes. After giving it some thought, he roughly guessed the truth.

After the assassination failed, Narita Daisaku had decisively led his team away. As a Kumogakure Jonin, he must have realized not long after fleeing that there was something wrong with Tsunade's condition.

Konoha's Princess Tsunade suffering from a psychological illness that had severely weakened her combat strength was news shocking enough to shake the Ninja World. If he did not reveal it openly and instead used that secret to make a deal with Konoha, he could certainly extort quite a few benefits.

Narita Daisaku had determined that Namikaze Minato would not let him bring that secret back to Kumogakure. At the same time, driven by greed, he had not fled wholeheartedly. Instead, he set another ambush, intending to eliminate the pursuing Minato.

Narita Daisaku glanced at Uchiha Mai and frowned. "There is one more pursuer than I expected, but it makes no difference. A brat like this can't accomplish much.

Five against two. We still have a chance of winning.

Kid, if you want someone to blame, blame Namikaze Minato. If he hadn't brought you along in pursuit, you wouldn't have had to die."

"The number of people does not determine which side is stronger, just as no matter how many rabbits gather together, they are no match for a tiger.

My teacher is Namikaze Minato. Before we came, he personally said he could beat twenty of you with one hand. All I need to do is cheer him on and witness him create a miracle."

My teacher dares to eat shit!.jpg

Uchiha Mai eloquently shot back at Narita Daisaku, conveniently drawing some aggro for Master Minato.

The moment he said that, Narita Daisaku's gaze toward Master Minato instantly turned hostile. Children should not lie. This Namikaze Minato was far too arrogant.

Namikaze Minato: "..."

I didn't say that. I never did. He's making it up!

At this point, Namikaze Minato had yet to learn such enemy-crushing techniques as the Flying Thunder God and Rasengan.

The enemy was an elite Jingying Squad led by a Kumogakure Jonin. Master Minato believed he could win, but it would not be easy. He would still need to bring out all his strength and fight bloody battle.

How had he become so mighty by the time it came out of Mai's mouth?

"Go, Teacher Minato! It's time to let them see what true strength is!"

Uchiha Mai drew another wave of aggro for Master Minato before silently retreating some distance.

Besides Narita Daisaku, who had revealed himself, there were four Chunin hiding in the shadows. Rashly joining the battle was far too dangerous.

It would be more practical to wait until Master Minato started fighting them, then enter the battlefield as an assassin.
