Chasing My Sister Under the Moon

Just like in his previous life, Yagami encountered Cloud Ninja spies while drinking at an izakaya.

The plot hadn't changed.

Yagami hastily swallowed all the meat and left the izakaya, heading straight for the Forest of Death.

There were no second chances in this life; he had to be more careful and couldn't act rashly on his own.

If he couldn't win, he'd call for backup.

Since he knew the plot, how could he be suppressed by a few Cloud Ninjas in Konohagakure?

Entering the Forest of Death's underground base for the Anbu, Yagami was lucky; the Black Gorilla Squad Commander was there.

"Squad Commander, I've found a Cloud Ninja spy. I've studied Cloud Ninja swordsmanship, and I'm absolutely certain the person's arms bear the marks of ten years of dedicated practice."

The Black Gorilla Squad Commander didn't suspect anything and summoned his subordinates.

The squad was on rotation, so only three Anbu members who had finished training and were resting were in the changing room.

At the Anbu training grounds, kunai and shuriken were supplied without limit. There were even people dedicated to clearing targets and retrieving weapons, so many Anbu members trained there in their spare time.

If they were lucky, some Anbu members would kindly guide others, leading to faster progress.

Among them was Yagami's teammate, Purple Cat.

Purple Cat, disregarding her fatigue, quickly put on her gear.

Yagami took another look at Purple Cat.

Purple Cat was a female ninja with a curvaceous figure. She wore a mask, so her face was hidden, but it was already clear she was beautiful.

Black Gorilla, Yagami, and four other Anbu members left the Forest of Death.

They waited outside the Tsurutsuki Izakaya for half an hour and finally encountered the Cloud Ninja spy.

The Cloud Ninja spy headed towards the northwest of the village, in the direction of the park outside the Senju Clan Compound.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the park, the Black Gorilla Squad Commander spotted Anbu members hidden in the park's woods.

"There are Anbu allies. That's... that's the squad guarding the Uzumaki Princess?"

The Cloud Ninja spy, who had infiltrated among the Anbu recruits, suddenly attacked.

The guarding squad fell into chaos. Many didn't know if the person next to them was an ally or a spy, and their movements became sluggish.

Yagami stopped Black Gorilla, who was about to join the fray, and said, "Squad Commander! Look in the direction of the Uzumaki Princess!"

Several Cloud Ninjas had killed a young girl from the Senju Clan and abducted the Uzumaki Princess.

The Black Gorilla Squad Commander quickly said, "This is bad! They're heading for the Uzumaki Princess! Let's go rescue her first!"

The squad, led by the Black Gorilla Squad Commander, wasn't moving very fast.

Yagami noticed that the Black Gorilla Squad Commander had become more cautious and careful since losing his left arm, making his pursuit less decisive.

After the Cloud Ninjas and the Uzumaki Princess disappeared into the darkness, the Black Gorilla Squad Commander ordered the others to circle around and investigate the surrounding area. These countermeasures slowed them down.

When they reached the wall of Konoha, Yagami saw a blonde child slip through a hole in the wall.

This time, he landed behind Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze emerged from the hole in the wall and continued to pursue the trail of red hair.

The amount of hair in his hand kept increasing.

Just pulling out so much hair was heartbreaking. That girl's will to survive was incredibly strong.

Soon, Minato Namikaze spotted the figure ahead.

Three Cloud Ninjas, and Kushina Uzumaki, who was tied up.

One of the Cloud Ninjas spotted Minato Namikaze behind them and turned back to cover their retreat, buying time for the others.

Seeing that it was just a child, the Cloud Ninja felt a sense of disdain.

The spy network that the Cloud Hidden Village had cultivated in Konoha for over a decade was all activated tonight, solely to capture the Uzumaki Princess.

They never expected that the first person to catch up in Konoha would be just a child.

A child, not even graduated from the Ninja Academy, what could he possibly...

Pfft!

The Cloud Ninja stared in shock at the kunai in his waist.

The Konoha child's movements were so fast; he dodged and thrust, killing him?

Not far away, the Black Gorilla Squad Commander also looked at the blonde kid in surprise.

A genius, with talent that was visible to the naked eye.

His taijutsu was concise and efficient, his movements swift, and most importantly, he possessed the will and mindset to kill.

Such a young child, killing without hesitation, he was a born ninja.

Black Gorilla felt that when writing his mission report tonight, he would have to write about this genius in detail.

A student like this from the Ninja Academy was worth the village's serious cultivation.

Minato Namikaze cautiously eyed the enemy before him, wary of their movements.

He had managed to instantly kill a Cloud Ninja earlier because the enemy had underestimated him, but he wouldn't get such a lucky break again.

Minato Namikaze paused.

The Cloud Ninja in front of him suddenly turned, slashing downwards to his side.

From beneath the ground to his side, an Anbu ninja wearing a fox mask emerged.

Earth Release?

And a stealth-type Earth Release at that.

The Fox Anbu moved with extreme agility, diving straight into the Cloud Ninja's embrace.

Their swords were thrust out from behind each other.

However, the Cloud Ninja's sword had bloodstains on it, while the Fox Anbu's sword was completely clean.

Minato Namikaze's eyes lit up; the Fox Anbu's reaction was incredibly fast.

The Cloud Ninja's sword pierced through the gap between the Fox Anbu's left rib and arm, appearing dangerous but in reality, causing no harm.

Yagami drew his sword, and the Cloud Ninja fell.

Seeing Captain Fox cleanly dispatch an enemy, Purple Cat felt a sense of relief.

Everyone in the clan said entering the Anbu was extremely dangerous. If she could follow such a skilled squad leader like Fox, she should be able to survive.

Yagami was unaware that a fangirl had appeared behind him. He looked towards Uzumaki Kushina.

Chasing a girl under the moonlight, could this script be for me?

The Cloud Ninja spy wasn't very strong, not reaching Jonin level. He still had a chance.

So what if they're a canon CP? As a transmigrator, besides being weaker than Minato Namikaze, having a less sunny smile than Minato Namikaze, and not having as much potential as Minato Namikaze, what else am I lacking?

If he can form a CP with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the village would surely pamper me!

He couldn't help but feel a little happy thinking about it.

Yagami charged towards the last Cloud Ninja.

As he engaged the final Cloud Ninja, his gaze passed over the ninja's shoulder, and he saw Minato Namikaze already scooping up Uzumaki Kushina.

Huh?

Damn it, why is Minato Namikaze so fast?

He hasn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy yet, and he's already incredibly strong.

Minato Namikaze, holding Uzumaki Kushina, leaped to a higher position, away from the ground battle.

The large moon cast its light upon them, making their blonde and red hair exceptionally striking.

Yagami's dream of chasing a girl under the moonlight was shattered before it even began.

Squad Commander Kurozaru arrived, and together with Yagami, they flanked and killed the last Cloud Ninja spy.

Squad Commander Kurozaru said to Minato Namikaze, "Come down! We are Konoha Anbu. Put down the Uzumaki Princess!"

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze, still holding Uzumaki Kushina, jumped back to the ground.

"Uzumaki Princess, come back to the village with us to meet Lord Danzō."

When Uzumaki Kushina heard she was going to meet the Konoha higher-up with an X-shaped scar on his chin, she was so scared she hid behind Minato Namikaze.

"I... I don't want to see Danzō, I want to see Uncle Rinmoku!"

Minato Namikaze spoke up to mediate, "Let's go back to the village, Kushina. The most important thing is to get back to the village first."

Kurozaru was somewhat surprised. This blonde kid was quite sensible, knowing that returning to the village was the priority and immediately trying to persuade the Uzumaki Princess.

The group returned to the gates of Konohagakure, where a large contingent of Anbu had already gathered.

Captain Commander Yellow Dog breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Uzumaki Kushina.

Seeing Kurozaru bringing Uzumaki Kushina back, he said, "Kurozaru, come with me to the Hokage Building."

Kurozaru replied, "Captain Commander, I'd like to bring Fox along. Fox was the first to notice something was wrong."

Yellow Dog nodded and said, "Alright, Fox can come too."

During the battle at Uzu Hidden Village, Fox had been present from start to finish, performing well in both pre-battle reconnaissance and post-battle cleanup.

Fox was a subordinate Yellow Dog was cultivating closely. In Yellow Dog's opinion, Fox was very dependable and trustworthy.
