Naruto: I, a decent person, have become the mastermind behind all this!

Go down the mountain, then cross the river.

At this time, the memory of the shadow clone came back, and Shuichi Hoshita immediately said: "Teacher Minato, there is indeed a trap in the east!"

"It's the puppeteer Chiyo!"

Minato Namikaze's eyes fixed and he stopped immediately: "Go south along the river!"

The four of them immediately changed direction, originally planning to take a detour to the east.

Going down the river, Kurama Sanyo couldn't help asking: "Teacher Minato, is that Chiyo very powerful?"

Minato Namikaze nodded slightly: "She is an outstanding female puppeteer in the Sand Village."

"In addition, she is also good at medical ninjutsu and poison."

"During the last Ninja World War, she caused a lot of trouble to the village. Fortunately, it was Tsunade who broke her poison method."

Puppet masters, especially powerful puppet masters, are very difficult to deal with.

And Chiyo is even more outstanding. It is said that she got the Ten Machine Puppet made by Bunzaemon, the most powerful puppeteer of the Sand Ninja.

Bunzaemon was an outstanding ninja in the era of the first and second generations of Hokage, and he opened the path of the puppet master lineage of ninjas.

After listening to Minato Namikaze's explanation, Kurama Sanyo and Uchiha Shisui were both shocked.

Hoshita Hideichi also knew something about Chiyo.

This is a ruthless person!

If he met this, plus other Sand Ninjas.

If he didn't use Flying Thunder God to escape, except for Minato Namikaze, the three of them, Hoshita Hideichi felt that they would have to kneel!

Minato Namikaze's change of plan was obviously correct.

The four of them went south along the river, and then entered a town called Otsu, using the complexity of the town to cover up their tracks.

Then Hoshita Hideichi and Uchiha Shisui turned into wild cats and left the town to the north into the forest, while Minato Namikaze used Flying Thunder God to take Kurama Sanyo and move directly to the two of them.

This made the Sand Ninjas who chased to Otsu Town confused for a moment, and cut off the clues of tracking Minato's team.

…

In the mountains, Hoshita Shuichi and his four companions found a cave and temporarily settled down.

At the same time.

On the battlefield on the mountainside before, Chiyo appeared here with a few Sand Ninjas, silently watching this tragic scene.

Three jonins and twelve chuunins were killed in just a few minutes.

“That yellow-haired guy!”

Thinking of Minato Namikaze’s amazing instant body technique, Chiyo’s face became more solemn.

“This knife mark should be left by the kid with the short knife.”

“The genius of Konoha…”

Chiyo examined the corpses one by one, analyzing bits and pieces of information from them.

Finally, Chiyo said to a Sand Ninja Jonin: "Rosa, cancel the siege of Minato Namikaze and the others!"

Rosa frowned and said: "Master Chiyo, the destructive power of this Konoha team is too great. If it is not eliminated, it will cause great harm."

Chiyo said: "Of course I know this."

"But you also saw that how many people are needed for an ordinary ninja team to siege and kill them?"

"We can't go to war."

"So, cancel the previous siege plan and organize a Jonin team to chase them."

"Even if we can't get rid of them, we must force them to leave our hinterland."

Rosa nodded after hearing this. He also had this idea.

Chiyo then said: "This pursuit mission is left to you. Konoha White Fang has appeared in the River Country again. I need to go there."

Rosa agreed and turned and left immediately.

...

Night fell.

Hoshita Shuichi's shadow clone turned into a stray cat and appeared in Otsu Town again, wandering under the moonlight and lights, shuttling among the crowd, and leaping between houses.

What puzzled Shuichi Hoshita was that there was no trace of the Sand Ninja in this town.

They disappeared here during the day. With so many Sand Ninja chasing them, they gave up so quickly?

"Huh?"

Shuichi Hoshita, who was about to meet up with Uchiha Shisui, suddenly stopped and looked at a figure on the street: "Is this..."

"Ye Cang?"

His figure and temperament were too eye-catching!

At this moment, the curvy figure on the street seemed to notice Shuichi Hoshita's gaze and turned to look over.

Shuichi Hoshita meowed nonchalantly, then walked into the dark alley with cat steps.

On the street, Ye Cang retracted his gaze and continued to walk along the traces of the Konoha Ninja that the Sand Ninja had tracked during the day, and finally came to an abandoned house.

The traces of the Konoha Ninja during the day ended in this broken house.

Ye Cang frowned and checked carefully under the dim light, but still found nothing.

The traces were cut off too cleanly!

After leaving the house, Ye Cang looked around again, and finally came to the roof and looked around.

Suddenly, her eyes stopped and fell on a dirty stray cat.

Wild cats and stray cats are very common, but at this moment, Ye Cang suddenly remembered the stray cat that had looked at her on the street before.

Swish!

Ye Cang disappeared from the roof and appeared next to several cat paw prints.

This was a trace she had seen before, and several cat paw prints seemed very normal.

But at this moment, Ye Cang's intuition told her that this was not simple.

She immediately formed six shadow clones and acted separately, following different cat paw prints.

Not long after, Ye Cang returned to the room where Minato Namikaze and the others had stayed last.

She looked carefully and found no cat paw prints, but found traces of artificial cleaning.

"Sure enough, there is a problem. The cat's paw prints started from here, but they were covered up."

Ye Cang smiled and immediately thought: "Why are there only two traces left by cats?"

"That instant body technique called Minato Namikaze... can it be more than just instant movement within a short distance?"

Ye Cang was shocked and immediately left.

A moment later, Ye Cang appeared again, and with her were Luo Sha and five other people, all of whom were senior ninjas.

Among the six people, Luo Sha and Ye Cang were the youngest.

Listening to Ye Cang's speculation, Luo Sha and others looked around again.

After returning, a middle-aged senior ninja said: "Ye Cang's speculation is very likely."

"The instant body technique that can move over a long distance should be a space-time ninjutsu!"

Luo Sha looked to the north. He couldn't see clearly in the dark, but he knew that there was a mountain there.

And judging from the traces, the Konoha team was likely hiding in it.

But it is also possible that they had already left.

"Then let's go!"

"We can't just stay here forever. The current situation in the River Country is not favorable to us."

Rasa said.

The others nodded in unison, and then they all used the instant body technique to disappear.

...

In the cave, the shadow clones of Shuichi Hoshita and Shisui Uchiha were released. After the memory feedback, Shisui Uchiha said: "Teacher Minato, the Sand Ninjas who were tracking us have all withdrawn, but other Sand Ninjas have come. The number is unknown, but in this case, it is very likely that they are an elite team of jonin."

He got the information by hypnotizing the people in the town.

Though the information was pieced together by multiple people, although it was unknown how many Sand Ninjas came later, some things could be inferred from the comings and goings.

Minato Namikaze nodded and looked at Shuichi Hoshita.

At this moment, Shuichi Hoshita frowned slightly, and said after a pause: "Teacher Minato, I'm afraid we are exposed."

Kurama Sanyo was surprised and said: "Shuichi, your transformation technique has been discovered?"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "Not sure, just intuition."

Namikaze Minato smiled: "Ninja's intuition is often very accurate."

"Now it is basically certain that the Sand Ninja has changed its strategy and used a small number of elites to deal with us."

"And, this elite has discovered that we are very likely hiding here."

Uchiha Shisui continued: "In this case, the secret of Minato's instant body technique may also be mastered."

Namikaze Minato said indifferently: "As long as the ninjutsu is used, it is inevitable that someone will master the information. It's just a matter of time. There is no need to worry about this."

Kurama Sanyo muttered: "Elite team, it seems that we are in big trouble?"

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "We have brought so much trouble to the Sand Ninja, of course they will come to trouble us!"

The atmosphere was relaxed as soon as this sentence came out.

Minato Namikaze said immediately: "Shuichi, send out a shadow clone to go with me to check the situation, and the others will retreat to the north."

"Understood!"

...

Leaving behind a shadow clone, Shuichi Hoshita, Uchiha Shisui, and Kurama Sanyo retreated first.

On the other side, Minato Namikaze and Shuichi Hoshita's shadow clone met the Sand Ninja Team who happened to be searching halfway up the mountain.

"Two bloodline ninjas!"

Minato Namikaze's heart trembled when he saw Rasa and Ye Cang.

The Sand Village would collect information about geniuses from other villages, and Konoha was no exception.

And the bloodline limit ninjas are the most eye-catching, especially those who are not inherited from the family.

Rasa is a little older, now 20 years old, and Ye Cang, who has a hot body and looks extremely mature, Minato Namikaze knows that she is about the same age as himself.

"It seems that this mission will end here..."

Minato Namikaze made a decision in an instant, and at the same time whispered to Shuichi Hoshita about the information about Rasa and Ye Cang.

One is a magnet jutsu, the other is a scorch jutsu, both are young and powerful jonin.

On the other side, Luo Sha, Ye Cang and others are also extremely alert, especially when they see that there are only two people, they are even more vigilant.

It is really that the performance of the Minato team in the past two days is too amazing, so they have no choice but to be on high alert.

"Minato Namikaze of Konoha!"

Rosa spoke, his eyes first fell on Minato Namikaze, then looked at Shuichi Hoshita on the side, and finally locked on the handle of the knife exposed on Shuichi Hoshita's waist: "It is really amazing that you can kill a jonin at this age. Although he is an enemy, he is enough to win our respect. I am Rasa, a jonin of Sand Village!"

Shuichi Hoshita said: "Shuichi Hoshita, a Chunin of Konoha!"

Rosa stared at Shuichi Hoshita's tender face and said: "I will do my best to kill you. This is my respect for you."

Shuichi Hoshita smiled: "I am not your opponent now, but in ten years, you will not be my opponent."

"Your son and daughter will not be my opponent in the future."

Now, whether it is Minato Namikaze or Rasa and others on the opposite side, they can't help but be stunned.

"Shuichi's angle... is really strange and interesting!"

Minato Namikaze smiled secretly, but his hand had already taken out a Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Luo Sha on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, then his eyes darkened: "You have no future!"

At this time, Ye Cang was already impatient, raised his hands, and two red fireballs appeared on his palms: "Catch them first!"

As soon as the voice fell, a fireball went straight to Xingxia Xiuyi.

"It's really hot, you start right away!"

After secretly complaining, Shuichi Hoshita symbolically made two seals, opened his mouth and sprayed fire, and the flames quickly gathered to form a huge fireball to meet it.

Boom!

The fireballs collided and exploded, and then the rolling waves of fire separated, and Ye Cang's burning fireball went straight to Shuichi Hoshita.

Shuichi Hoshita immediately dodged and retreated, relying on his flexible body and superb reaction to dodge.

Seeing this, Ye Cang's second burning fireball also flew towards Shuichi Hoshita.

But at this moment, Minato Namikaze's kunai flew towards Ye Cang.

At the same time, Minato Namikaze's figure disappeared and suddenly appeared in front of the burning fireball, pressing the Rasengan in his hand and colliding with the burning fireball.

Bang!

The burning fireball exploded.

Ye Cang easily avoided the kunai, and Luo Sha raised his hand and clenched his fist: "I got you..."

Under Minato Namikaze's feet, the iron sand spread upwards.

Luo Sha seemed to have predicted Minato Namikaze's actions and seized this opportunity.

However, just when he was controlling the Sand Iron to catch Minato Namikaze, Minato Namikaze disappeared from the spot.

"Be careful!"

A cry of surprise came from behind Ye Cang.

Minato Namikaze appeared behind Ye Cang, grabbed his Flying Thunder God Kunai, and wiped his ninja bag with his right hand, and a large number of Flying Thunder God Kunai flew out.

Luo Sha quickly turned back and saw this scene, his pupils dilated: "Those kunai... the technique of the body-flash technique!"

In the information collected before, there was no technique on the kunai.

And the Sand Ninja who knew this was dead.

Just like Hoshita Shuichi, the Sand Ninja who knew that he didn't need to cast a seal to perform fire escape also died.

"Be careful, those kunai have the technique of the body-flash technique!"

Luo Sha opened his mouth to remind, and the Sand Iron also flew over densely, trying to stop Minato Namikaze from attacking Ye Cang from the back.

However, whether it was the senior ninja who reminded Ye Cang or the Sand Iron, they all failed again.

The figure of Minato Namikaze disappeared from the spot again, and then appeared behind a middle-aged Sand Ninja jonin, with spiral hair in his hand.

The middle-aged Sand Ninja jonin was already alert, and turned around to block with his sword.

The next moment, the Rasengan collided with the blade, and as Minato Namikaze pressed hard, the blade broke, and the Rasengan fell on the middle-aged Sand Ninja jonin, blowing him away.

Luo Sha's Sand Iron, Ye Cang's Scorching Fireball, and even other people's attacks arrived one after another, but they all missed.

However, Luo Sha's Sand Iron had also been lurking under a Flying Thunder God Kunai, and as soon as Minato Namikaze flashed, he launched an attack.

However, it still missed!

"This guy's speed is too fast..."

"It's just like a yellow flash!"

Luo Sha's face was solemn.

Minato Namikaze's figure flashed again and again, and finally suddenly appeared beside Shuichi Hoshita. A Rasengan blew up Ye Cang's Scorching Fireball, and it collapsed and could never be reunited.

Luo Sha's attacks were always one step behind, even though he had already made preparations.

The first round of confrontation ended.

Hoshita Shuichi and two others were unharmed, but one Sand Ninja was seriously injured and unconscious.
