Chapter 87 - Mission Rank S 12.

[Chapter Size: 2200 Words.]

Third Person POV

Fire Country, Year 36.

...

...

The trees swayed gently as Team 7 used them to propel their speed, heading at high velocity towards the city. Explosions were occurring at the location as they drew ever closer.

Minato turned to Hanabi by his side. "Can you see what's happening? Who and how many enemies are there?" Minato asked.

Hanabi, who had her eyes on the city the entire time since it came into range, had seen two groups of ninjas: one in the city center creating even greater chaos, and a group on the southern side of the city with fewer ninjas but still killing citizens while also destroying the place.

Hanabi began relaying this information to Minato. "There are at least 20 enemy ninjas in the city. They don't wear headbands but use earth-style jutsus. There are many jonins among them from what I can see," she said.

'This is very bad...' Minato frowned, after all, he could not handle them all alone, not without using all his power, something he did not intend to do and could not risk his team's life. He then thought of another solution.

Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a plain kunai with the Raijin seal. "Catch this," he said, throwing the knife to Mikoto who caught it, and Minato disappeared a moment later, reappearing again with a man surprised by this.

Jiraiya was in the middle of a meal with his ramen in the room when Minato appeared without caring if he would be seen using this jutsu by others, after all, this was an emergency, but there was no one else but Jiraiya in the room. Minato threw another kunai in the room to return later and grabbed him, activating his jutsu, using a large amount of chakra with it.

He also knew that from what Yamanaka had said, they would first create a distraction to weaken the capital's forces before starting the main attack, so there wouldn't be an attack so soon and Jiraiya could be taken for a moment.

"But what the...?" Jiraiya, caught and brought here, was surprised by his student's appearance and couldn't even react when he grabbed him and disappeared. He barely stepped on the tree without stumbling and looked at Minato asking for an explanation.

"Sorry, I thought, but we need you here," he said as Jiraiya finally looked towards the city. "As you can see, just the three of us can't handle this," he continued, and Jiraiya understood the situation.

"Well... this is certainly an emergency..." He said in a more serious tone and began to stabilize. He had received news from his frog yesterday, so he was somewhat aware of the situation.

"Hanabi-san, tell me what you see," he immediately asked while she relayed what she had mentioned to Minato.

"This is certainly bad, let's do this..." Jiraiya didn't hesitate and quickly began to coordinate his team. "You go to the weaker group, I trust Minato can pull you out if you're in danger. Leave everyone in the middle area of the city to me. Remember, if it gets too dangerous, don't hesitate to run," Minato warned, after all, this was not a task for genins.

Everyone nodded as they finally arrived at the city walls and took different paths; the city was in complete chaos, people running scared, while sounds of explosions occurred with tremors at the locations of the attacks. The stone ninjas were using earth jutsus to modify and destroy places, devastating everything, while using kunais with explosive tags to blow up houses and create even more chaos in the city, igniting large fires.

Minato, Mikoto, and Hanabi arrived at a building somewhat distant from that group; there were many chuunins and one Jonin there.

"Hahahaha! Take this!" A stone ninja, despite not wearing a headband, it was obvious his origin, as he made hand seals and the terrain in front of him began to devastate, catching citizens running while they were buried and crushed without hesitation as the ninja behaved like a psychopath killing people who could not defend themselves.

"Those bastards," Mikoto murmured angrily.

"We should stop them. Let's go!" Minato said, running towards the location as his companions followed him.

He quickly looked at Hanabi, "I used a part of my chakra picking up Jiraiya from the capital, so I want to combine a fire jutsu with Mikoto. Hanabi, open up a closed terrain so we can launch a jutsu together," Minato exclaimed.

Hanabi, hearing this, nodded, stepping forward with more force and taking the lead as she leaped ahead. The enemies quickly noticed the girl with white eyes moving on the destroyed terrain as they jumped together in the air, and as soon as she landed, her palm also touched the ground, completing the jutsu. Hanabi didn't skimp on chakra here and started the jutsu that began to open up the area, creating a kind of trench while the stone ninjas went on alert with ninja reinforcements arriving without them noticing.

"Stay alert!" the jonin quickly shouted, and when he saw the other two stopping on a building above the girl, he saw them begin to make a set of seals together.

"It's two kids, not three..." He noted, a bit surprised by the audacity of it.

As soon as Minato and Mikoto finished the seals, he began to initiate the attack, "Fire Style: Great Annihilation by Fire," both fired together, spewing a line of fire that exploded as it passed over Hanabi on the ground.

Minato might have more chakra than Mikoto, but she had more mastery in fire techniques to a small degree and Minato needed to conserve chakra after picking up Jiraiya in the capital.

Both were exerting themselves in these jutsus, trying to maintain the same amount of fire, trying to balance the two flames so neither would overpower the other as they continued spewing.

The focus went into the trench created by Hanabi after raising two walls on each side. The flames began to crawl through the trench, destroying and digging the ground, moving towards the ninjas caught off guard by it.

"This has a great range... We must protect ourselves!" the jonin exclaimed immediately.

Everyone made hand seals, creating a barrier that rose from the ground like a cocoon between them. The fire exploded, hitting the walls of Hanabi's jutsu, while increasing even more in force, after all, it was more concentrated this way instead of spreading as it would normally.

Soon the area glowed with flames, blocking the view to the naked eye of Minato, the only one there without a doujutsu, but hearing some stone explosions as the fire tried to penetrate their defenses. There were some dead citizens on the ground while the flames caught them as well, but there was nothing to do but just try to kill those who were devastating the city.

The fire began to concentrate, spreading in the place while everything was burning. It was only after a while with the flames calming down that the Stone cocoon appeared, some of the smaller cocoons, created by ninjas alone, did not have a good end. After all, everything saw the destroyed cocoons and the ninjas inside were charred and dead.

Minato nodded and began to scan the area with his haki and quickly looked as a stone ninja emerged from the ground. Hanabi looked down, not very surprised, her eyes had already seen the enemy approaching. She prepared by raising her hands and let chakra flow from them.

Using the Hyuuga technique, she generated a chakra sphere, with the Hyuuga technique and catching the ninja before he could get any closer, making him fall to the opposite side screaming.

Minato sighed, seeing that Hanabi took care of the man, and looked ahead while in one of the cocoons that managed to stay firm, the ninjas were performing jutsus, the ground began to crack trying to kill these children after seeing that their surprise attack had not worked. The ground exploded at this moment, causing the house where Minato and Mikoto were to collapse.

"Help Hanabi!" he said while Mikoto descended and helped her companion. Minato began to jump among the stones raised with the jutsu, stepping between them in the air, advancing against the Stone ninjas.

The Jonin saw the blond-haired boy approaching. "What a fool, he thinks he can advance so easily?" he commented as he began to make a jutsu.

"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bomb!" he said, creating a moist earth dragon and launching it against Minato.

Minato made a set of seals with his hands as well. "Wind Style: Great Destruction" A wind stood in front of him without him needing to blow.

The two forces clashed against each other while the wind and the dragon contested each other, the Stone ninjas took advantage of this moment and advanced against Minato from beneath the earth, he had to cancel his wind jutsu while dodging a man emerging from the ground with a kunai.

After all, he didn't want to show his body of light to the enemy. As his jutsu lost strength and the lava dragon advanced against him, Minato took the opportunity to kick a Chuunin, breaking his neck instantly, leaving the others a bit surprised by their companion dying from a kick by a child.

Minato landed on the ground, seeing the dragon approaching rapidly, he grabbed a kunai and threw it at the enemies, which ended up hitting the wall that Hanabi had created. As the dragon approached, all the Stone ninjas saw exactly as the dragon collided with it on the ground and exploded, they believed Minato had not used any substitution jutsu, confident that he had been hit.

"Did we finish him?" asked a chuunin angrily.

"I hope so, what does Konoha give these kids..." another spoke.

"We still have two to deal with," said the Jonin.

However, before they could react, Minato was already behind one of them, plunging his kunai into his neck, and the others only saw their friend die surprised. Minato had used his Raijin on the kunai with a seal on the wall to escape from the dragon at the last millisecond.

He didn't stop and was already atop others, beginning to cut them down. When he had killed two more, they backed away from the boy.

"That bastard! How did he appear behind us?!" a chuunin shouted frustrated.

"What's going on..." the jonin murmured somberly looking at Minato, like all the ninjas who encountered the boy using Raijin and did not know what that technique was, especially with a child performing it.

There were still three more ninjas while Minato had eliminated three and Hanabi one that had approached her before. Besides what the three combined did catching the Stone ninjas off guard with the earth and fire jutsu, eliminating at least four of them.

The girls approached while Mikoto sent a shuriken at the ninjas. While they easily defended against it, Minato analyzed the situation and made three clones, each one going towards an enemy.

"Can you cast a fire jutsu?" Minato asked Mikoto who nodded.

The girl sensed while making a smaller scale fire jutsu, but nearly exhausting all her chakra doing so. She finished her hand seals and released her hot breath, while Minato's clones had trouble dealing with the ninjas, the flames began to cover them, catching the clones and striking the ninjas.

The jonin quickly acted, making hand seals and creating a barrier between his companions. The flames hit the wall without crossing it.

"Damn... how can children be so persistent!" He murmured frustrated, after all, most of his team had died to brats.

"Let's kill them, they can't have so much chakra left," another spoke.

Minato, outside seeing this, advanced against the wall while his hand formed chakra. He jumped, creating a Rasengan and continuing to make it increase in size, every moment it grew and the girls saw the huge sphere that Minato used against Minato in the bell test, but slightly smaller, reaching the size of a 2-meter diameter Oodama Rasengan against the enemy's flaming barrier.

The Stone ninjas, having no sensor among them, could not react when the huge rasengan exploded the barrier with pure chakra, penetrating easily as the ninjas saw that enormous sphere coming towards them with Minato guiding it.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!! 

A huge explosion occurred, starting there and expanding in all directions while even the barrier created by Hanabi at the beginning broke sending pieces of rocks in all directions, colliding with the nearest houses in the city.

Minato emerged as the dust settled, standing in the middle of all that chaos, with bodies of Stone ninjas on the ground. He was quite exhausted, after all, he had used a lot of chakra in that fight, as had his companion.

"We're done here. Now let's go to Sensei and see how he's doing," Minato said as the two nodded and advanced towards the city center where an explosion had just occurred, while Jiraiya fought with the largest group of enemies.
