Starting the fourth generation Hokage

"Lord Hokage..."

When Team Genma saw Namikaze Minato appear, they immediately cheered up.

In the end, captain Shiranui Genma hesitated, smiled bitterly and decided to confess: "This time we may encounter the most powerful enemy in history. With our current strength... everyone is worried that we are holding back."

Both Bingzu Leitong and Dieyiwaxi looked a little gloomy and had no intention of refuting, obviously they agreed with this.

Uchiha Shisui, on the other hand, looked thoughtful.

It turned out to be because of this.

Seeing the solemn and solemn expressions on the faces of the Shadow Guards, Minato Namikaze smiled helplessly, and then said with great seriousness: "Every member of the Shadow Guards was once recognized and selected by me as a person with outstanding talents. "

"I am very confident in my vision, and I hope you can have the same confidence!"

Namikaze Minato's words immediately cheered up Genma and the others.

That's right, no matter how strong the enemy is, you have to use your full strength to never let down the trust of Hokage-sama...

Ningzu Lei was the first to regain his confidence, looked at Genma with a smile and said: "Yes, we are the Hokage Guards!"

"You're right, at least you can't lose the reputation of Golden Flash!" Shiranui Genjian flexibly circled the Senbon Needle between his fingers before holding it in his mouth again.

Although Diyiwasi didn't speak, he clenched his fists vaguely.

Uchiha Shisui on the side also remained silent, but the slight curve of his mouth and his calm and indifferent demeanor already showed that this is an aura that only the elite ninjas among the genius Uchiha, the largest family in Konoha, possess... …

When Xiang and Linjiao on the other side saw this, they were filled with admiration. It is said that the Fourth Hokage ascended to the throne of Hokage solely based on his military exploits, but in fact, this reputation and affinity are the key to gaining the support of the villagers.

Seeing that the Shadow Guards had boosted their morale, Namikaze Minato also felt relieved.

“The prisoner exchange time is two days later, and it will only take us just over a day to reach the Kingdom of Frost.

As for the specific tactical arrangements, let’s wait until we reach the destination before making plans..."

Namikaze Minato pondered, and finally took a look at the people who were ready to go, and ordered: "Let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, the seven figures in the forest disappeared together in an instant.

…

The first stop for everyone is the Kingdom of Tang.

After walking through the dead wood forest for nearly an hour, we were about to walk out of the forest.

Namikaze Minato at the front suddenly seemed to notice something and frowned slightly.

"It seems that they are coming towards us..."

As soon as he finished speaking, many of the people behind him also noticed something unusual nearby.

"Hokage-sama, please give these trash fish to our Shadow Guards..." Shiranui Genma respectfully asked for instructions and at the same time took out a kunai from his ninja bag.

"We will catch up with you soon..." Ningzu Lei agreed.

Shisui and Iwashi, who had a tacit understanding, were of course ready to fight at this time.

Namikaze Minato didn't hesitate and directly agreed.

"Okay, end the battle as soon as possible, don't delay it too long..."

After saying that, he glanced at the elephant and linjiao who were accompanying him, and they immediately understood each other.

At this moment, in front of Namikaze Minato, countless sounds of breaking through the air flew in an instant, and flames like raindrops came overwhelmingly.

Xiang took a step forward decisively, formed a seal and shouted: "Water Escape·Water Chaos Waves!"

A powerful stream of water spurted out, and with great precision, all the fire escape rains that hit the direction of the three of them were blocked.

A large amount of mist rose up in an instant, but Namikaze Minato and the others rushed into the mist without slowing down.

At this moment, a dozen black shadows flew out instantly near the dead wood forest on both sides.

Soon they surrounded the four shadow guards who had deliberately slowed down their advance. Among the figures, one of them said softly: "Strange, how could it be? It seems that a few people escaped!!"

The other leader man said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, as long as he is a ninja of Konoha, that's enough."

The group of attackers in front of them were dressed in strange costumes. All were dressed in black ninja costumes, holding standard long swords, and wearing pure white fanged ghost masks, looking murderous.

The Shadow Guards were standing on dead branches at different heights, surrounded, and showed no signs of panic.

Shiranui Genma asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why are you hostile to the ninjas of Konoha Hidden Village in the Land of Fire?!"

"Hahaha, Konoha ninja?" The leader of the ghost-faced leader smiled contemptuously, without any intention of announcing his identity, but directly waved his hand to signal the attack: "The ones we want to kill are you Konoha ninjas!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, enemies with fangs and ghost faces from all directions surrounded him.

Everyone had already expected this situation.

It seems that only after the battle is over will it be possible to obtain the identity information of this group of attackers.

…

More than ten minutes later, somewhere on a deserted plain, Namikaze Minato and Sho three were taking a short rest in a pile of rocks.

Suddenly, on a rock not far from Namikaze Minato, a scroll with a pattern-writing technique spread out shone brightly. The next second, four people flashed out of thin air next to the scroll.

Shiranui Genma, Tamaki Raito, and Iwashi were maintaining the hand seal posture of the Flying Thunder Formation Jutsu, surrounding Uchiha Shisui in the center.

Seeing the appearance of the four people, Namikaze Minato and the other three were not surprised at all.

Because this was the plan in advance. After the Shadow Guards dealt with the attackers, they would catch up with them through the flying thunder array. This is the most time-saving method, and it won’t waste much time on the road at all.

Seeing this, Namikaze Minato just walked forward slowly and put away the scroll of the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Genma Team that was spread out on the rock.

"How? Who are the attackers?"

Before Minato Namikaze could ask, Kirikaku looked at Genma's team and asked.

It can be seen that although the Shadow Guards have gone through a battle, they do not appear to be injured. Instead, their clothes are neat and their breathing is stable. It is obvious that they did not spend too much effort to deal with the attackers...

After retracting the seal of the Flying Thunder Formation Jutsu, Genma Shiranui, as the captain, replied: "The identity of the attacker is clear, he is a member of the Prajna clan of the Forest Kingdom."

"A ninja from the Kingdom of the Forest?" Linjiao's tone was slightly surprised, and then he frowned in confusion: "The Kingdom of the Forest was indeed a hostile force of Konoha in the war a few years ago, and they are still at war with each other until now. ”

"But the Kingdom of Forest is so far away from the Kingdom of Fire. Why do their ninjas appear here..."

Xiang Ze, the commander of the ANBU, answered: "Maybe it's just a coincidence.

After all, the situation is so tense now, it is impossible for the Ninja World War to start a full-scale war again..."

Everyone in the Shadow Guard nodded in agreement, but as a senior ANBU member, Linjiao didn't seem to be completely convinced by this explanation.

However, Namikaze Minato glanced at Xiang thoughtfully, and did not continue to dwell on the attack. Instead, he turned his attention to the Shadow Guards and smiled gently: "Thank you for your hard work. After a short rest, let's continue our journey!" "

Unexpectedly, everyone in the Shadow Guards looked at each other and unanimously stated that the team did not need to stop and rest for them.

The similarity is an extremely confident expression: it didn't take much effort to deal with those guys in the Kingdom of Lin.

In this way, everyone headed towards the Country of Tang again...

The journey was uneventful until they were about to arrive at the junction of the Country of Fire and the Country of Tang, but something unexpected happened again.
