A flower planted with care might not bloom, while a willow planted by chance might grow into a shady tree.
On the third day after Namikaze Minato stopped searching for Hanfeng, intelligence suddenly came in from the Eastern Coast.
"Chartered a boat and went out to sea?"
Namikaze Minato's expression darkened when he saw the report.
At sea, the Flying Thunder God would be severely limited. Special Kunai and other teleportation anchors would sink to the bottom as soon as they touched the water, effectively sealing them away.
If Hanfeng had been taken to the Deep Sea...
Namikaze Minato didn't hesitate and immediately organized a rescue team.
So many days had passed, but as long as there was still a chance, Namikaze Minato wasn't going to give up.
However, given the Deep Sea's mystery and power, the rescue team shouldn't be too large—but its members had to be the best of the best!
After giving it some thought, Namikaze Minato chose three people: Kakashi, Might Guy, and Itachi Uchiha.
Kakashi was the Copy Master, proficient in a thousand ninjutsu, including hundreds of Water Release Ninjutsu. With him on the team, even if they lacked an advantage at sea, they wouldn't be forced into a passive position.
Might Guy was a Taijutsu specialist, equally capable of fighting on land or at sea. He could attack like a spear and defend like a shield. He had also trained in the Forbidden Jutsu, the Eight Inner Gates Formation. If they faced a seemingly hopeless situation, he could open the gates and kill their enemies.
Itachi Uchiha possessed the Three Tomoe Sharingan and was skilled in the Uchiha Clan's Genjutsu. According to Shisui, among those with the same number of tomoe, Itachi's Genjutsu ranked second only to Shisui himself.
