Chapter 188
Three days later, Loulan.
Chiyo, Ebizo, puppets and some Anbu from Sand Village came here, and then at night, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kushina, Uchiha Fugaku, the representative of the Uchiha clan, Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi, the two brothers, Ino Shikacho Nara Shikaku, and Yamanaka Ino also came here.
Konoha did not send out the Anbu, after all, the meaning of the Anbu's deployment was completely different, and most of the remaining people stayed in Konoha.
"The above is the list of ninjas for this support." Nara Shikaku scratched the back of his head and handed the scroll in his hand to Minato.
Minato took the scroll and asked, "Did the Third-Kai appoint a commander for this mission?"
Shikaku nodded, "The Third-Kai gave me the command, and Tsunade will be the battlefield supervisor. He also said that you and Mushi will act alone for the time being, and continue to secretly protect Her Majesty the Queen. I will command after Choza is relieved of his Anbu status."
"I understand." Minato said he understood.
On the battlefield, the command is important. Even if Tsunade and Jiraiya are of higher seniority, they cannot act alone at this time, but must obey Shikaku's command. Of course, Tsunade is the supervisor and has the right to raise questions, but if Shikaku insists, they must go even if they are asked to die.
Of course, Shikaku will not do this, and if Tsunade's identity as a supervisor determines that Shikaku has ill intentions, she can directly take Shikaku down or kill him directly.
But she also has to obey Shikaku's orders at ordinary times.
Then, Shikaku asked, "Where are the two Konoha ninjas from the future?"
Minato smiled under his mask and said, "Naruto and Sasuke went to protect the princess. This is my order to them. If necessary, you can call them directly."
Shikaku thought for a while: "From your mission report, it can be seen that the two brats are not as simple as Genin, so can you confirm the strength of the two brats?"
"I can't be sure." Minato sighed slightly, "Their chakras feel normal, one is the chakra of the Uchiha clan, and the other..."
When Minato said this, he paused, and then slowly said, "It's the breath of the Uzumaki clan, but I always feel that they are carrying a powerful force. According to them, it is the power of the Six Paths Sage, which others cannot perceive."
"Oh?" Shikaku suddenly smiled, and his eyes became a little teasing, "The breath of the Uzumaki clan? Could it be your child with Kushina? I remember Your report said that there is a kid with hair color similar to yours."
Minato said helplessly: "Lord Shikaku, now is not the time to talk about this."
Shikaku laughed, and then stopped squeezing Minato, and the topic returned to the right track: "The Sand Village is very dissatisfied with our lineup this time, and seems to be on guard. Knowing that our Jinchūriki are coming, they only sent Chiyo and Ebizo."
Minato nodded in agreement: "I originally thought that they would at least send one of the Jinchūriki and Kazekage, but I didn't expect that not only the Jinchūriki didn't come, but even the Kazekage didn't come."
"It's obvious that these guys are afraid that we will leave all their combat power here." Shikamaru sneered, "It doesn't matter if the two old guys Chiyo and Ebizo died. The puppet troops look very strong, but the ones who came this time are all abandoned. The real combat power is now on guard in the Sand Village. If we show a little strange movement, they will attack without hesitation."
The Sand Village is like this, selling teammates faster than anyone else.
Chiyo and Ebizo are both old, and it is most reasonable to let them sell now that the Kazekage is still alive.
"Alas, the enemy has hit you in the face and you still have the mind to think about these things." Minato sighed. He has always been confused by the operation of the Sand Village, and this time is no exception. "Forget it, we won't do anything to them anyway."
Loulan is too close to the border of the Fire Country. If the fight gets a little heated, it will involve the Fire Country. They must respond, and this matter has been communicated with the Sand Village, and both sides have determined the strategy. Who knows that the Sand Village suddenly has a brain twitch and doesn't come.
"Well, in short, you should be vigilant. You should go see Kushina first. Since she knew the name of the blond kid, she has been clamoring to come here. You should know why?" Shikaku suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile on his face.
Minato blinked his eyes, then turned and left with a smile.
Minato stood there and looked at Shikaku's back, feeling a little helpless, but... to be honest, he was not stupid. From the vortex aura on Naruto and his name, Minato could guess Naruto's origin.
He scratched the back of his head. He and Kushina hadn't married yet, and now the child was out, it was a bit difficult.
Thinking about it, Minato couldn't help but miss Kushina.
"Let's go see Kushina." Minato decided what to do immediately, took off the mask on his face, changed his clothes into normal clothes, and then launched Flying Thunder God and disappeared on the spot.
Then he saw Kushina holding Naruto and not letting go.
It was like a zombie holding a living person and gnawing.
Minato: "..."
Sasuke's eyes kept twitching next to him. Kushina's appearance reminded him of the villagers in the Six Paths era, who were so enthusiastic.
Sasuke glanced at Minato next to him, and then looked at Kushina who was rubbing Naruto's face excitedly in front of him. After hesitating for a while, he quietly moved his body and hid behind Minato: "Uncle Minato, Aunt Kushina will be handed over to you."
Minato: "..."
Minato, who forgot what he was going to say for a moment, touched the back of his head, and then said helplessly: "Since you know me, you should also know the fact that I can't do anything to Kushina, right?"
Sasuke: "..."
I didn't know it before, but now I know.
On the other side, Naruto was held in Kushina's arms. He was held so hard that he couldn't speak at all. He could only pat Kushina's back gently, constantly indicating that he was going to die.
Fortunately, Kushina also had a sense of propriety. After her excitement calmed down a little, she felt Naruto's signal and let Naruto go with a slightly red face.
"Ha~ Hu~" Naruto, who was released, took a deep breath at the first time, and patted his chest with great fear.
Kushina stared at Naruto with a look of satisfaction, and finally smiled: "Yeah, very handsome, much more handsome than Minato."
"Of course!" Hearing this, Naruto was no longer sleepy, and proudly puffed out his chest, "Don't you see whose son I am."
Minato: "..."
It's really a biological child.
To be honest, I didn't provoke you, did I?
