chapter-12 7

 An Anbu appeared, "Hokage-sama, the Jinchūriki monitoring team that just went to take over the shift has sent a message that all members of the team that carried out the mission last night have been killed, and the Jinchūriki is now missing. The Anbu have been mobilized to track him down, and there will be news soon."

  The Third Hokage, who was originally in a good mood, now looked as dark as charcoal. "Owl, call Jiraiya and Orochimaru to see me."

  At this moment, a shadow flashed across the wall and disappeared through the window.

  "Huruzen, something's happened to the Jinchūriki! I've sent Root ninjas to pursue him. This matter seems to involve the Uchiha as well. I've long said that they're restless. Maybe this time they're working together from the inside and outside. Sending a large force to pursue him should be an attempt to cover up Ni Zhang."

  A gloomy man in casual clothes appeared in the Hokage's office.

  The Third Generation didn't say anything. He thought to himself that he had just learned the news, but Danzo already had most of the information about the incident and even sent ninjas to pursue them. It was obvious that he had known about it for a long time.

  The three Uchiha brats must have been involved in this in a confused state. Judging from the Uchiha's reaction, they left in a hurry and should have been unprepared. After all, that team was specially taken care of by the entire Uchiha clan.

  Someone interfered with the Anbu, otherwise it wouldn't be so slow. Danzo, you are restless again. What do you want to take advantage of this opportunity this time...

  While the Third Hokage was silent, Jiraiya jumped in from the window. Orochimaru knocked on the door and then opened it and entered.

  "Orochimaru, you and Jiraiya, take two teams of Anbu and start the pursuit immediately. If you encounter Uchiha clan or Root ninja along the way, you have the right to deploy them. Here is a handwritten letter and a Hokage seal. Go quickly." After the Third Hokage said this, he took out a scroll and a fire seal and handed them to Orochimaru.

  Then he fought back, obviously not wanting to explain anything more. The two of them left without saying anything more.

  "Huruzen, the Anbu has an unshirkable responsibility for the Jinchūriki's accident. I have already said that you should hand her over to the Root. I promise..."

  Before Danzo could finish, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Don't say any more, Danzo, now is not the time to talk about this. The most important thing now is to recover the Jinchūriki and investigate the whole matter. We can talk about everything after we get back."

  . . . . . . . . .

  Uchiha Yang looked at the team resting in front and estimated that they were almost at the border.

  Turning to Minato, he said, "Let's launch a surprise attack later. I'll hold them back. You take your companions and leave in the direction they came from. We have support behind us."

  The little yellow-haired boy nodded and said, "I should be able to defeat the two on the left if we attack them by surprise."

  Uchiha Yangxin said that you should always bring your sister with you. In the original novel, you saved her alone, so you can be more confident.

  Uchiha Yang nodded, "Then I'll take the right side. There's a jonin among them. I can't hold on for long. You go faster."

  Then he made a gesture, indicating that he was ready for action.

  "Uchiha Shuriken Jutsu", "Shuriken Manipulation Jutsu", "Fire Style, Fengxian Fire Jutsu" Uchiha Yang fired three shots in succession, separating the three ninjas on the right from the other two.

  He then charged directly at the three men, killing one instantly, and engaged in battle with the opposing upper ninja.

  "You three take your people and go first." The jonin beckoned his companions to go first while fighting.

  Uchiha Yang pulled the thread hard, and the flying shuriken stabbed at the advancing ninja, then he jumped back and used "Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Claw Red" against the ninja. After successfully killing the ninja, he continued to fight desperately with the jonin.

  At this moment Minato took action, quickly hitting a ninja in the back with a shuriken, and using the opponent's body to leap above another ninja, throwing a shuriken and hitting the opponent's neck.

  Then he quickly picked up Kushina and ran in the direction they came from.
