"Minato- kun, he really has changed. Copy this address to view %77%77%77%e%6%69%71%69%e%6d%65"

Uchiha Yue encountered his old friend Minato Namikaze at the border of the Land of Fire, and originally wanted to have a good chat with Minato Namikaze.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze started talking, Minato Namikaze immediately adopted a businesslike demeanor, inquiring about recent events in the Land of Wind to deduce the Sunagakure's intentions. However, Uchiha Yue understand Minato's businesslike attitude. After all, as the supreme Minato Namikaze guarding the border of the Land of Fire, Minato Namikaze carried a heavy burden of responsibility.

Even for the sake of his subordinates' lives, Minato Namikaze needs to remain vigilant every day.

Therefore, when Minato Namikaze immediately asked about official business, Uchiha Yue didn't seem to mind at all.

Then, led by Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Yue followed Minato Namikaze to his tent.

However, after Uchiha Yue entered the tent and heard Minato Namikaze urging him once again to leave the Land of Wind, he didn't immediately reply to Minato Namikaze. Instead, he frowned and asked, "Uchiha Yue- Minato, how long have you been at the front lines? I just took a quick look and noticed that these tents at the Konoha front seem different. What's going on?"

"Moon Lord, please don't ask about these things."

Upon hearing Uchiha Yue's question, Minato Namikaze's expression stiffened, and he said, "Tsuki-kun, let's talk about official business first, and we can discuss personal matters later!"

"No!"

Seeing that Minato Namikaze was trying to change the subject, Uchiha Yue didn't give Minato Namikaze, frowning as he said, "Minato- kun, if you don't agree, it's like you're not acknowledging me Uchiha Yue, as your friend! Actually, even if you don't agree, I understand why the treatment of the frontline ninja units was significantly reduced when you were the highest-ranking commander on the front lines."

"Minato- kun, did that Hyuga Hiashi secretly attack you?"

"Didn't your master, Lord Jiraiya, intervene in this matter?"

"Sigh, even if Jiraiya- sensei wanted to, he couldn't control it!"

Seeing that Uchiha Yue was determined to get to the bottom of things, Minato Namikaze knew that if he changed the subject again, he might anger Uchiha Yue. So, after a deep sigh, Minato Namikaze truthfully told Uchiha Yue, "Tsuki-kun, as you know, the ninjas guarding this place have always been from the Hyuga Clan. So, when Jiraiya- sensei helped me get this position, he essentially offended those guys from the Hyuga Clan. Now, the lack of supplies at the front lines is actually the work of those guys from the Hyuga Clan."

"But Jiraiya- sensei has already secured this position for me. Can I really ask Jiraiya- sensei for help again?"

"Kushina has actually been helping me find a way to request more supplies from the Third Kazekage recently, and they should arrive soon."

"So, if we can just hold on through this period, our situation here will change."

Minato Namikaze paused slightly before continuing to speak to Uchiha Yue, "However, Tsuki-kun, I'm a little worried we won't be able to wait for the village's supplies to arrive. You've been in the Land of Wind for a while now, so you should know what's been happening there. Seeing so many Sunagakure troops suddenly appearing on the Land of Land of Wind's Land of Wind, I really thought the Sunagakure was preparing to declare war on us."

"When you arrived, you must have seen the situation of the unit I was commanding, right?"

"That's right, to put it nicely, our unit is a joint force; to put it bluntly, it's a ragtag army!"

"Those guys from the Hyuga Clan are blocking my way, making it difficult for me to recruit soldiers!"

"In the end, if it weren't for Hizashi helping me transfer some members from the Hyuga Clan's branch family, and the various clans assigning me some manpower, I probably wouldn't have been able to even assemble the troops guarding the border."

"So, Yue-kun, I really need your help right now."

"Tell me, what exactly happened in the Land of Wind!"

After listening to Minato Namikaze's words, Uchiha Yue knew that even as the supreme commander, Minato Namikaze was not having an easy time on the front lines.

Without hesitation, Uchiha Yue Minato Namikaze directly, saying, "Minato- kun, I'm sorry, I may have caused you trouble. My trip to the Land of Wind a while ago was actually to assassinate the Third Kazekage. Now, the Third Kazekage has been dealt with by Sasori of the Red Sands and me. Because of the Third Kazekage's disappearance, the Sunagakure dispatched so many ninja troops to guard the border of the Land of Wind."

"What? You're the one who suddenly added a Sunagakure unit to the border of the Land of Wind because you assassinated the Third Kazekage?"

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Minato Namikaze's eyes widened in shock, and he asked, "Then why have the number of Sunagakure troops on the border of the Land of Wind suddenly decreased during this period?"

"Oh, I'm the one who caused this."

Seeing Minato Namikaze ask a question, Uchiha Yue smiled, then took out two intelligence scrolls from his ninja tool pouch and placed them in front of Minato Namikaze, saying, "These two intelligence scrolls, one records the location of the Sunagakure's medicinal herb fields, and the other records the place where the Sunagakure stores war supplies. In order to break out of the Land of Land of Wind, I went to the Sunagakure's medicinal herb fields to cause trouble and assassinated a group of Sunagakure ninjas. To avoid their lifeline being cut off, the Sunagakure recalled its troops stationed on the border of the Land of Wind to guard the medicinal herb fields."

"So, Minato- kun, what you were worried about was just a false alarm."

"Only..."

Uchiha Yue paused slightly, then pondered for a long time before saying, "However, Minato- kun, I think you need to prepare for battle. Because if I'm not mistaken, an unknown ninja force has already attacked the Sunagakure's medicinal herb fields, and they will soon be destroyed. If the Sunagakure loses its medicinal herb fields, the internal conflicts will definitely escalate to another level. When that happens, the Sunagakure may have no other way to vent its internal conflicts except to declare war on us."

"Yes, I thumped."

When Uchiha Yue arrived, Minato Namikaze's previous bitter expression vanished. After listening to Uchiha Yue's words, he showed no sign of panic whatsoever, simply sitting there quietly, pondering a solution. Seeing Minato Namikaze's attitude, Uchiha Yue secretly admired the person sitting before him, thinking, "He truly lives up to his reputation as the future Fourth Mizukage, Minato Namikaze."

After all, not everyone leading a ragtag army has the courage to face the Sunagakure's declaration of war.

Minato Namikaze's ability to face future battles with such composure is truly remarkable!
