Chapter 335: Minato's Vigilance.

"Did they leave?"

Seeing these people leave, Tendo Pain slightly relaxed. Although they didn't fight, the aura they exuded made it clear that if a battle had occurred, his side would not have been their match.

If Minato's teleportation technique had targeted any one of them instead of Jiraiya's broken arm, they wouldn't have had a chance to dodge and would have been instantly killed.

"But the Otsutsuki clan? How does he know about the Otsutsuki clan?"

Nagato muttered to himself behind the scenes.

From the arrival of Otsutsuki Miki last time, Nagato knew that the Rinnegan he possessed wasn't his own but belonged to someone else. He was just a puppet being manipulated by others. But as long as he could achieve his ideals, he didn't mind being a puppet.

However, Hatake Satoru's description of the Ten-Tails made Nagato feel like he was making wedding clothes for someone else.

In the distant sky, a space suddenly tore open, and a snow-white figure walked out from the torn space.

If Nagato or Obito were here, they would immediately recognize this person as Otsutsuki Miki, who had met with them last time.

"Is that Hatake Satoru? He indeed possesses extraordinary power."

At this moment, Otsutsuki Miki's Byakugan also changed, with a strange blue light flickering in his eyes, and streams of data seemed to flow through this blue light.

This was a data eye, capable of seeing through all of a person's abilities and cards, and calculating their power. But when he used the data eye on Hatake Satoru just now, his eyes immediately felt a sharp pain, and red lights flashed continuously, giving a frantic warning. The final conclusion was countless question marks. Even the Patriarch of the Otsutsuki clan didn't have as many question marks under the data eye as Hatake Satoru.

Back in Konohagakure, the group immediately pushed Jiraiya into the emergency room. Jiraiya's arm couldn't be delayed. Minato sat in the office with a serious expression, while Satoru sat on the opposite sofa, leisurely peeling an orange.

"Satoru, are you sure? Did someone from the Otsutsuki clan appear?"

Minato asked Satoru seriously. If the Otsutsuki clan really appeared, they would have to make new plans because no one knew what the Otsutsuki clan's goal was.

"Yes, that annoying and superior aura is unmistakable. That guy was hiding in the space around us just now."

"The Otsutsuki clan teaming up with the Akatsuki organization, that's really troublesome."

Minato couldn't help but feel a headache. This was truly a turbulent time.

"Don't worry, I think the Otsutsuki clan's target should be me. After all, to them, I'm the variable."

Hatake Satoru also guessed the purpose of the Otsutsuki clan's appearance. There was a 99% chance that their target was him.

They might even know about the future destruction of the Otsutsuki clan and used the time-traveling artifact. Transmitting future memories shouldn't be difficult for the Otsutsuki clan.

"Even if their target is you, we must take it seriously. After all, you are also a member of Konohagakure, and we don't want anything to happen to you."

When Minato said this, Satoru looked at him with a surprised expression. He didn't expect Minato to say such a thing.

"Why are you looking at me like that? From the moment you were born in Konohagakure, as long as you don't do anything to harm the village, you are a member of Konohagakure in life and death."

"Hahaha, I understand. Don't worry, if the Otsutsuki clan really appears, leave them to me. I won't let any Otsutsuki clan member step into Konohagakure."

Hearing Hatake Satoru's assurance, Minato smiled.

"With your words, I'm relieved. But since their target is you, you must be careful. They might use some special methods to deal with you."

"Understood."

At this moment, the office door was suddenly violently pushed open, and Naruto rushed in, looking panicked.

"Naruto?"

Seeing Naruto appear, Minato showed a surprised expression. Naruto should be training in Sage Mode at Mount Myoboku.

"Father, is it true that Jiraiya-sensei is injured?"

Naruto asked anxiously.

Hearing Naruto say this, Minato understood that it must have been the two sages or Gamaken who told him about it when they returned to the village.

"That's right, but don't worry, with Tsunade-sama's treatment, Jiraiya-sensei will soon be out of danger."

Minato signaled Naruto to calm down and said.

"Hokage-sama, Jiraiya-sama's treatment is complete. Tsunade-sama wants you to come over."

Suddenly, an Anbu appeared in front of them. Hearing this, Naruto didn't even have time to reply to Minato and rushed out the door, heading towards Konohagakure Hospital.

"This panicked behavior is definitely inherited from Kushina."

Watching Naruto's flustered back, Hatake Satoru said with a smile.

Minato also smiled helplessly, but seeing Naruto like this made him very happy. He preferred Naruto to remain this way rather than becoming too mature and steady.

"Let's go too."

With that, Satoru placed his hand on Minato's shoulder. Although he could have teleported himself, it was like driving yourself versus riding in someone else's car. If you can ride in someone else's car, why drive yourself?

In the next second, Minato and Hatake Satoru appeared in Jiraiya's hospital room, much faster than Naruto.

"Jiraiya-sensei."

Seeing Jiraiya's bandaged right arm, Minato couldn't help but show a hint of guilt on his face.

"Sorry, Jiraiya-sensei, we were a step too late."

"It's okay, it's not your fault. Everything happened too quickly, and my arm was gone in an instant. But luckily, Tsunade was here, and my arm has been reattached."

After saying this, Jiraiya glanced at Tsunade, but she only gave him a reproachful look.

"But I've figured out two of the Six Paths of Pain's abilities."
