"Mizukage, sink."
As soon as Ye's toes left the edge of the cliff, the command in his mind had already entered the White Zetsu channel.
"Converge Chakra, stay away from me."
Third Mizukage in the darkness was originally walking close to the shadow of the tree, but after hearing the order, his entire body melted directly into the mud layer.
Chakra layer by layer collapsed, until all that was left in the night's perception was wet soil and cold hard rock.
At this time, everyone also noticed something strange in the night.
Obito held on to the root of the tree and turned around. He still couldn't open his right eye, but his left eye was full of vigilance.
"Who's coming?"
Ye didn't look back, his fingers were already on the handle of the knife.
"The speed is too fast, it's hard to say."
Kakashi pressed his left hand onto the Short Sword handle, while his right hand was still hidden in his pocket.
"Iwagakure?"
"If Iwagakure had this speed, Kannabi Bridge would have changed his surname to Yan long ago."
As soon as he finished speaking, golden light burst into the field of vision of the four people. The special Kunai was placed across their chests, and a blond man was already standing directly in front of them.
This person is none other than Minato Namikaze.
Minato The first thing I did when I arrived was to count the number of people.
"Night."
"Obito."
"Kakashi."
"Lin."
After reading the four names, Minato lowered the Kunai in his hand and showed a gentle smile.
"I'm not late, am I?"
Obito Originally wanted to raise his hands to make a handsome pose, but his right knee tilted sideways with the board on it, and he almost knelt down on the spot.
"Teacher, if you had come earlier, I might have lost two legs."
Minato's eyes stopped on Obito's two legs tied with wooden boards, then turned to Kakashi's hidden right hand and Lin's sweaty back.
Finally it fell on the bleeding bandage on Ye's left shoulder.
"What happened?"
"Where's the mission?"
Ye raised his hand and pointed behind him.
The morning light pressed down from the cliff mouth, and the fracture of Kannabi Bridge in the distance was still dropping gravel into the abyss, and layers of dust were rising upwards.
"Kannabi Bridge has been disconnected."
Ye added.
"Mission accomplished."
Minato was about to ask more questions but didn't answer.
He looked over Ye's shoulder at the broken bridge. The tension in his blue eyes slowly relaxed a little, and then was filled back with even heavier fear.
Looking at the miserable appearance of several of his students, they must have experienced a life-and-death crisis not long ago.
[Ding! Fear value from Minato Namikaze, +4200!]
When I heard the notification sound at night, my heart was Ichiraku.
Good guy, Minato-sensei can also explode gold coins. The Konoha teacher-student game is open today.
Minato just took a step forward, but seemed to notice something.
His right hand Kunai was turned into a reverse grip, and his whole person changed from the gentle teacher picking up the students from school to the Yellow Flash on the battlefield.
"Don't move."
Obito was holding on to the tree, looking confused.
"Teacher?"
Kakashi also raised his head and clasped Short Sword with his left hand.
"Is there an enemy?"
Minato didn't answer, and his senses swept towards the ground in the distance. Kunai's tip was always pointed in the same direction.
Ye's face didn't change, but the channel in his head had already begun to curse.
Tobi speaks so fast that it's almost knotted.
"Damn it, Mizukage, that guy was too slow to close in, and the golden retriever teacher caught his tail!"
The night was recalled clearly in my mind.
"Let it continue to sink into the deep soil. No Chakra movement is allowed for an hour."
Deep underground, Third Mizukage and Chakra were completely extinguished, even the fluctuations that maintained their appearance were completely suppressed.
Minato's perception swept back and forth over that area. The soil, tree roots, and rock crevices were all too quiet.
Obito couldn't help but ask.
"Teacher, what are you looking at?"
Minato did not immediately withdraw Kunai, his eyes still stopped deep in the forest.
"There seemed to be a strange Chakra fluctuation just now."
Minato looked around at the group of students and didn't speak any more. He just took Kunai back to his legs.
But underneath those blue eyes, there is still a trace of something that has not been completely dispersed.
"Forget it, maybe my perception is wrong. It's not safe here. Let's go back to the village and talk about it."
He walked up to Obito, put one hand on Obito's shoulder, and reached out to Kakashi's back with the other hand.
"Go home now."
Obito immediately raised his chest.
"Teacher, I can walk by myself."
As soon as he moved his right foot out, his knees and the board were pushed out, and his whole body fell directly into Minato's arms.
Minato Catch him.
"I believe you."
As he spoke, he put Obito's arm on his shoulders. His words were gentle and his hands were completely non-negotiable.
Ye watched this scene from behind, already counting today's profits in his mind.
A pinnacle Madara family cash machine, a Kage Level puppet bodyguard, several White Zetsu monitoring packages, two Uchiha Gunbai and sickles.
A pair of Obito Mangekyo, one Three-Tails in Lin's body, and a six-digit system balance.
The cost is Life Scroll for one card, Rural Leisure Experience for one card, and the extra cost is to play the good-natured grandson until your face turns sour.
If this input-output ratio were used to start a company, the board of directors would kneel down and applaud him.
Minato didn't say any more nonsense. He motioned for Lin to hold on to Kakashi's arm, and Ye put his hand on Lin's shoulder.
After confirming that the four people's breaths were connected, Minato gave a low drink.
"Hurry up."
Golden light suddenly lit up, and the surrounding space seemed to be forcibly folded and distorted in an instant.
Ye felt his eyes blur, and a strong sense of weightlessness instantly enveloped his whole body.
The surrounding scene turned into a blurry afterimage, pulling back crazily.
Normally, when carrying four large, scarred people for long-distance space transfer, even Minato Namikaze needs to be carried out in sections, with Chakra needing to take a breather in the middle.
But this time, Minato was obviously really stimulated by the tragic situation of several students hovering on the edge of life and death.
"Shua--"
Golden flashes of light continued to flicker in the wilderness along the border.
Minato completely ignored the intense consumption of Chakra in the body, and Flying Thunder God's coordinate imprints were activated one after another.
He is like a tireless machine with no intention of stopping to rest.
It seemed that unless these unfortunate children were immediately pushed back to the absolutely safe rear, his hanging heart could not return to his stomach.
The continuous high-intensity space jumps made Obito, who was already seriously injured, turn green. If he hadn't endured it, he would have vomited directly on Minato's sleeves.
Kakashi also gritted his teeth, cold sweat dripping down the edge of the mask on his pale face.
While holding his foot firmly, Ye felt speechless in his heart.
Minato-sensei This is really urgent. This kind of inhumane Chakra pouring method, if you change it to an ordinary Jonin, you will already be fucked by someone.
After dozens of consecutive high-frequency flashes, the nauseating sense of space tearing finally stopped completely.
Minato let go of his hands on Obito and Kakashi, his chest rose and fell slightly, and his breath became a bit heavy.
The golden bangs were also slightly wet from the sweat on his forehead.
"Okay, here is about twenty miles away from Konoha's frontline camp."
Minato straightened up, and the extremely tight strings in his tone finally relaxed a little.
"There are no traces of enemy activity in the remaining section of the road. Let's walk there and let your bodies get used to it a little."
Ye raised his eyes and took in his surroundings.
The feeling under your feet is no longer the cold, hard, cracked rock formation near Kannabi Bridge.
Instead, it is covered with thick soil of fallen leaves and humus, which is soft and moist when stepped on.
Everywhere you can see are towering trees reaching into the clouds.
The lush and huge tree crowns are intertwined, cutting the skylight into mottled light and shadow, and scattered on the thick moss-covered tree roots.
This is the most common dense forest in Land of Fire.
It is also the most familiar and reassuring natural barrier that every Konoha Ninja is most familiar with after ending a life-and-death struggle.
Kakashi didn't say much the whole way. She clenched and unclenched her right hand in her pocket. Lin looked at it several times, but finally she didn't speak.
Ye took all this into consideration and conveniently sent another instruction to Mizukage.
"You are not allowed to show your face before returning to the village. Bypass the Konoha barrier, sneak in from the abandoned river in the southwest, and wait for my order."
Tobi asked in a low voice.
"What about me?"
"Just shut up."
"Can you take me to the hot springs when you return to the village? I want to know what the hot water feels like."
Ye's footsteps almost missed the mark.
This thing should really be packed up and returned.
