Chapter 141 - Infiltration 03.
[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]
Third Person POV
Land of Sand, Year 38.
...
...
A night had passed in the camp, and as a man walked through the already bustling place in the morning, he was a bit groggy, and suddenly bumped into a ninja who was running.
"Sorry," the young voice spoke to him.
"Hey, watch out!" the ninja complained to what seemed to be a boy running through the camp and quickly lost sight of him.
"Whatever..." he murmured and continued walking to his destination, heading to a tent in a corner of the camp.
"Finally! It's your turn now, good luck, because I'm going to sleep at last!" a ninja in front of that tent commented, while the one who heard nodded.
"Alright, ..." the still sleepy ninja said.
"I left some unfinished stuff on the table, so if you could finish them for me, I'd appreciate it... now I'm going to grab something to eat before I go to sleep," he said.
The first one just nodded affirmatively and entered the tent, where there were several cabinets filled with scrolls, all the records that the camp made. There were at least five ninjas working on this during the same shift, but at this early hour, only this ninja began the day organizing the place for others to arrive later.
There were open scrolls on a table there with a pen; the ninja sighed as he sat down and began to read the scrolls to continue his colleague's work.
However, before he could react, a figure reappeared over him, giving a light tap on his head with a scroll in the palm of his hand, pinning it on the man's head using a desert burka.
The fuuinjutsu on the scroll quickly activated, and the man's eyes began to close, and he fainted the next moment.
Minato landed on the ground, while still disguised as a Suna ninja, he first assessed the situation around the tent after making sure the ninja had fainted with his extremely strong fuuinjutsu, which he had copied long ago the way the first Hokage knocked out the nine-tailed fox during the fight against Madara, using a seal placed on the forehead of his target.
After seeing that there were some guards, but none of them noticed the movement inside the tent and everything was normal, he began to act before someone arrived at this location and found him.
He quickly created some clones and began to look at the scrolls in the cabinets throughout the tent. Besides trying to find a loophole in Suna's documents, he was already researching the movements and missions that Suna has been undertaking, plotting some possible plans of the sand village against Konoha.
This continued for minutes, while the original Minato continued to analyze any movement that might expose him from outside with his haki. As soon as his clones saw a part of the scrolls, he made them disappear, absorbing all the memories.
The poison in his arm was slightly affected with the use of chakra again, but Minato continued steadfast and made other clones, now with the intention of tampering with the documents there.
He began to insert information into the mission histories, putting himself as a ghost character within Suna's mission system so that as soon as they researched him, he could easily pass as a village ninja who had undertaken various missions and had reasonable behavior. This wasn't something that would work in the long term, but it was enough for him to gather information on where Chiyo and the antidote were.
After tampering with everything to pass himself off as a chuunin, after having done some important missions, and his "ghost team," died on a mission while he had left the battlefield to stay as an auxiliary member in the camp, helping with fuuinjutsu and puppet creation. With this history now in the system, Minato could breathe a little.
After doing this, the clones disappeared while he removed the seal from the ninja's head and flicked his forehead, making him open his eyes.
"Hm?! Did I doze off...?" The ninja seemed surprised as he didn't feel Minato disappear behind him. "Maybe I didn't sleep well... Anyway... let's continue the work." He murmured before starting to fill out the papers again without noticing the slightest alteration in them.
Minato had teleported to another corner of the camp and was heading to a tent, a different one from where he had taken down the ninja, as it would be suspicious for him to be there, especially since his colleagues might already be missing their teammate and could be looking for him, while the man was inside the belly of a frog that Minato had summoned.
Minato waited in the tent while settling down on the ground, entering a lotus position to focus. He tried to keep the poison under control through his chakra.
'My chakra is somehow preventing it from spreading...' Minato couldn't help but murmur as he analyzed his situation, using his observation haki to perform his self-diagnosis. 'This... is my Yang... the life element in my body is slowing down the poison...' He concluded, wondering how much real Yang he had in his blood, as with it, he could last up to a month without the poison really affecting him, besides the pain.
He also made the chakra be consumed by the poison without affecting him, as showing his real amount of chakra could be a problem, since some had already noticed something abnormal in this state.
So there he stayed, Minato had tampered with the documents to fit into the camp's activities. At this moment, he was testing if the ninjas would come after him, since he should be on the list of ninjas for the activities he had done yesterday.
In the end, he wasn't sure. When a shadow appeared in front of the tent. "Hey, you! Get out of there now!" He heard a grumbling voice and Minato opened his eyes, calmly rising and stepping outside.
"What are you doing here? You should be helping in the puppet-making!" A jonin immediately complained as he looked at Minato in the burka angrily.
"I apologize for that, sir. I ended up falling asleep," Minato spoke, while the man continued with the same look.
"Forget it now. Come and follow me. You will be punished for this later..." He spoke, as Minato sketched a small hidden smile, unseen by the man. In the end, he returned to his activity of creating fuuinjutsu seals in the middle of the camp and headed to the assembly tent again, while continuing to apply the seals on the puppets.
He continued with this, realizing that he had finally been integrated into the camp, while some rumors about a missing ninja began to circulate. However, no one could find him, much less, suspect Minato, since he already had a mission history, as a member of Suna with a somewhat tragic past.
He ended up staying until the end of that day working while receiving a minor punishment, but it was the next day that, while Minato was with the group creating new puppets, he was called by another Jonin who approached the site.
"I need this boy for a while. Hey, you! The command tent is calling. Come with me," Minato heard the jonin after asking to release him while nodding without resistance and leaving the place to follow him.
Arriving at the location, he found Chiyo's son again, alongside a younger man, who had been with him all the time, and the future Kazekage of the Suna village, Rasa.
Minato entered and stood in front of them. "Kai-Sama." Minato murmured, making a slight bow, while he didn't need to do the same with Rasa, since he was unknown at this time, despite being one of the most powerful ninjas, but not having a strong political position in the village yet.
"So you are Uki, a ninja with above-average talent, but who gave up the battlefield after having your team exterminated, being the only survivor on a mission..." Chiyo's son continued, while reading the reports in front of him, those that were tampered with by Minato.
"Yes, my lord. After Ikba-sensei was killed, I wanted to help at the camp since then..." Minato spoke in a sad tone, using Uki as his alias and Ikba as his fake sensei.
"I see, that's a pity. From what I'm seeing here, you had great potential, but your team ended up being ambushed by the Leaf, you're here... It's a pity," the red-haired man spoke calmly.
"Yes, Kai-Sama..." Minato murmured respectfully.
"Anyway, I called you because we noticed a large amount of chakra, and you have an impressive history. It seems you are entering the expert level of fuuinjutsu, which at your age is prodigious... and although you don't have an affinity with puppets and the fan, you still possess wind element jutsus and fine aim with throwing tools," he said, looking at Minato and setting the paper aside.
"I wouldn't want a talent like yours to stay just here in the camp; you can be very useful for Suna. Therefore, I have a proposal for you," the ninja spoke, and Minato couldn't help but be more pleased with this, as he had overheard their conversation a few days ago, when they noticed his presence and were assembling a team, so Minato began to tamper with the documents.
"I understand... I want to serve the village in the best way possible... but I have some trauma from what happened to my team, what is your proposal, Kai-Sama?" Minato spoke respectfully.
"I understand, but I'm sure that this can change your mind. I would like you to integrate into a new team that is being formed. By my side is one of the most talented ninjas we have in Suna, Rasa, I'm sure you've heard of him..." Kai spoke.
"Yes, Kai-Sama... Everyone knows him, especially after the event where he eliminated 3 squads of Konoha Anbu. He's already a war hero." Minato responded, while pretending to look with admiration, and the men were pleased with that.
"So, kid, I wanted to know if you want to join my team. There are two more we are selecting. They are the elite of Suna's youth, and when we were looking for a third to integrate into an elite team, we found you. I know you might have some trauma, but to let someone like you waste your strength making seals is a cowardly act," he spoke.
"I..." Minato seemed to hesitate a bit before adopting a firmer look, putting on a little act. "It would be an honor, my lord. Please make me your student then!" Minato spoke immediately, now unafraid to show such interest, as anyone would naturally be with such a proposal.
"Very well, let's see how you do first. We'll meet your colleagues later. There's a girl who is already in the camp, but the last member is in the village. Therefore, we'll do some missions to see him. I want to see you more closely during this time."
"Yes, please, Lord Rasa, I mean, Rasa-Sensei..." Minato seemed quite excited.
"Great, you may go, kid, and welcome to the team. I'll call you later, so be prepared and let's see how you fare," he spoke as Minato left the tent with a smile, now able to infiltrate the heart of the Land of Wind.

I know you may not like this mission, but I wanted to imagine how Suna would function without Minato arriving and destroying everything.
