By the sixth stage of their mission in the Land of Medicine, Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and the others were in very poor condition. (^^)/ |*#Say|Update|Fastest|(^^)/
It's important to understand that the pressure faced by Jonin like Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and Hiashi Hyuga when carrying out missions within the Land of Medicine is far beyond what Uchiha Yue could imagine. Every Hyuga Hiashi, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki had to fight continuously, and in just six short months, they killed a total of sixty-three ninja from the Yakunin Village, practically eliminating all the hidden sentries on the front lines of the Land of Medicine. This demonstrates the extreme tension that Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were under.
If Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and the others were on the front lines in Konoha, they would certainly have had time to rest properly. Unfortunately, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki are in the Land of Land of Medicine, and any lapse in concentration could mean their deaths on the way to their mission. Therefore, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki can only rely on their willpower to persevere, hoping to make the ninjas of the Yakunin Village sense the crisis as soon as possible, throw them into disarray, and allow Konoha to gain the upper hand in the battle on the front lines.
However, even Uchiha Yue, who had been providing logistical support throughout the missions, felt exhausted after six consecutive missions. It's worth noting that Uchiha Yue's daily tasks were very simple: collecting secret medicines from the ninja tool pouches of the Yakunin Village ninjas and treating the injuries of Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and others. Yet, even Uchiha Yue sometimes found it difficult to concentrate while continuing the missions; the situation was likely much more severe for Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.
Just last night, during a mission, Uchiha Yue witnessed Kushina Uzumaki make a serious mistake. Had he not arrived in time to protect her from the attack of Kushina Uzumaki, Uchiha Yue might have died at the hands of that Kushina Uzumaki ninja, or even perished within the borders of the Yakunin Village of Land of Medicine Yakunin Village.
Therefore, noticing that everyone in the team was not in good condition, after Uchiha Yue healed Minato Namikaze's injuries, Minato Namikaze, as the team leader, slowly spoke, "We have carried out six missions in a row, almost eliminating all the hidden sentries on the front lines of the Land of Medicine. Now, I propose that we take a break for a while to adjust our mental state to its best. Otherwise, if we continue to fight with our exhausted bodies, we may very well perish within the Land of Land of Medicine, and we will be unable to complete the mission assigned to us!"
"I disagree!"
As soon as Minato Namikaze Kushina Uzumaki gently shook her head and said, "Yesterday, during the mission, I sensed that the guys from Yakunin Village were on guard. So, if we want to complete the mission successfully, we only need to hold on for three more days. If we start resting now, everything we've done so far will be meaningless. Therefore, I suggest we grit our teeth and hold on for another three days, so we can go back to rest as soon as possible."
"Kushina, you're right."
Hearing Kushina Uzumaki's words, even Hyuga Hiashi nodded emphatically, saying, "Just like Kushina said, if we want to complete the mission, we need to keep striking those guys from Yakunin Village. Just now, when I was using my Byakugan to observe the movements of the Yakunin Village ninjas, I clearly noticed that many Yakunin Village Sunagakure were mixed in with them. Obviously, we're just one step away from completing the mission, now is not the time to rest! Minato!"
Seeing that Kushina Uzumaki and Hyuga Hiashi like this, Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment, then turned to Uchiha Yue and asked, "Tsuki, can you still hold on?"
"Persistence is fine, but do we really have to do this?"
When they reached Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Yue's gaze swept over the group before him as he slowly analyzed, "Even if we rest for a while, we still have a chance to complete the mission. However, if we continue fighting while exhausted, we might end up like Minato, perishing within the Land of Medicine!"
Then, Uchiha Yue looked at Kushina Uzumaki in front of him and continued, "Kushina, your condition has obviously deteriorated a lot. You were almost killed by that guy from the Yakunin Village yesterday. If I hadn't been watching your battle closely, you might already be dead in the Land of Land of Medicine. So, I agree with Minato- kun's suggestion to rest and recuperate today, and continue fighting tomorrow!"
At this moment, Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki had differing opinions, and the atmosphere within the team instantly became awkward. However, Uchiha Yue could understand the feelings of Kushina Uzumaki and Hyuga Hiashi, after all, they were thinking of Konoha and hoped to complete the tasks assigned to them as soon as possible.
However, in Uchiha Yue's view, carrying out a mission is like training, requiring a balance of tension and relaxation.
Now that everyone is in poor condition, we need to rest and recuperate before preparing to fight the ninjas from the Yakunin Village.
Unfortunately, Uchiha Yue's position in the team was not high, and Minato Namikaze faced opposition from Kushina Uzumaki and Hyuga Hiashi. Subsequently, at the suggestion of Kushina Uzumaki and Hyuga Hiashi, Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze had no choice but to reluctantly accept their advice. However, when continuing the mission, Uchiha Yue was noticeably more meticulous than before, and even Minato Namikaze tried his best to concentrate, hoping to ensure the safety of all team members.
Immediately afterwards...
When Hyuga Hiashi used his Byakugan to spot a group of Yakunin Village ninja, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were already prepared for battle, ready to kill the Yakunin Village ninja in front of them. However, the moment Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki appeared, Uchiha Yue suddenly realized that the Yakunin Village ninja had no intention of engaging Kushina Uzumaki Minato Namikaze direct combat. Immediately, within his sight, the Yakunin Village ninja began to retreat!
"Strange, have those ninja from the Yakunin Village become suspicious?"
Watching the ninjas from Yakunin Village retreat, Uchiha Yue frowned slightly, and was about to remind Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and the others who were going into battle.
However, exhaustion had caused Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki to lose patience, and even Hyuga Hiashi could no longer suppress his anxiety, preparing to kill the Yakunin Village ninja in front of him in one fell swoop. Seeing Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki and the others getting further and further away, Uchiha Yue felt a strong sense of unease, and he gripped the Ghost Tiger tightly in his hand, ready to help them if they encountered danger.
But...
Uchiha Yue never expected that what appeared before them the next second was not just an ambush by the ninjas of Yakunin Village!
Among the group of Yakunin Village ninjas, Uchiha Yue clearly spotted the figures of Sunagakure ninjas!
Clearly, the Sunagakure and the Yakunin Village have joined forces to eliminate Uchiha Yue and his group, who have penetrated deep into their territory!
