Defeat the Enemy by Capturing Their Chief!

Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 495 Defeat the Enemy by Capturing Their Chief!

After leaving Anbu's dormitory, Aoba walked directly in Ramen Ichiraku's direction.

In this period of time.

He had never directly walked out of Anbu's dormitory.

This was in the system that he had planned.

He should always have an alibi so that no one would suspect him.

Because of this.

When he came out this time again, he found that there was no one following him. It could be said that he had removed Hiruzen's suspicion on his head.

This was still very important to the current Aoba. He needed to remove his name from Hiruzen's list. This way, it would be much more convenient to do some things later. There would not be so many worries.

Not long after.

Aoba came to Konohagakure's relatively prosperous area.

Ramen Ichiraku was still operating normally. However, because of the war, the villagers were in a state of panic. Few people were in the mood to come out and eat a bowl of noodles. Overall, it seemed that the business was not so prosperous and was quite bleak.

"Brother Teuchi!"

Aoba lifted the curtain of Ramen Ichiraku and walked in directly. The moment he entered, a smile appeared on his face.

"Aoba!"

Teuchi looked over. When he saw Aoba, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What do you want to eat today?"

"Just a random bowl of noodles!"

Aoba sat on the chair and looked at Teuchi in front of him.

"Minato is back."

Aoba wants to tell this news to Teuchi. He already knew that Minato was back earlier. But at that time, the information on the front line had not been sent back. He did not have a proper explanation if he informed Teuchi about this.

After all, he could not know what happened thousands of miles away from Konohagakure, right?

But there was no problem now.

He had already received news from Eaton.

Because of this.

Now, he could very reasonably tell Teuchi about this matter.

"Really?!"

Teuchi was stunned for a moment, his narrowed eyes slightly widened and his eyes flashing with excitement.

This could be said to be the most exciting news he had heard recently.

After all.

After Aoba had told him many times about Minato.

He had already connected Minato's return to the end of the war.

Now he heard this.

It has been naturally brought into another context.

That was...

The Third Ninja World War was about to end!

Teuchi was very excited.

"That's right."

Aoba nodded. His gaze focused on Teuchi, and the smile on his face became more relaxed.

"According to the information I obtained..."

"Minato has returned!"

"Right now, he is on the front lines participating in the war!"

"I believe it won't be long..."

".. that the Third Ninja World War will end!"

"The ninja world will also go to a new peaceful era under his lead!"

Aoba's tone was very confident. He has already seen Minato in Sage Mode on the front line.

Without a trace of politeness...

One of his proposals at that time had already changed Minato's fate.

This did not mean that without Aoba, Minato would not be able to master Sage Mode. Rather, he did not have that much time to go to practice Sage Mode. Even in the final battle, Minato was not that good at senjutsu.

Regarding Minato's talent.

Aoba no longer needed to explain.

In his opinion.

The original Minato had not displayed his full potential.

If Minato was given another period of time.

No one could be sure what kind of development this true genius would develop to, but in Aoba's opinion, surpassing the Second Hokage was not a big problem.

The current Minato was different from the past Minato. Aoba could already be sure that this kind of Minato had almost no rival in the ninja world. In addition, with his silent support in the dark, there was almost no problem in the ninja world entering a peaceful era.

After all...

The original condition to produce Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack was gone.

The Third Ninja World War was about to end, especially the heavy casualties that Iwagakure suffered. It directly saved Konohagakure from more than ten years of continuous war, and it was almost impossible for an event like children going to the battlefield.

Of course.

The most important thing was.

Even if Obito still couldn't escape the fate of being buried, there wouldn't be any more Madara to transform him.

Because Madara's life-sustaining pipe had been pulled out by Aoba.

This made Madara truly return to history, and he had no way to participate in the current world situation. This basically solved the possibility of nine-tailed rampaging.

Based on the current situation.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack could be said to be something that would never happen.

The change to the storyline was that Kushina would not die, and Minato would not use a sealing technique similar to suicide. Basically, there was no reason for them to die.

Correspondingly...

Konohagakure's regime would no longer return to Hiruzen.

This was not only Minato's history, but also the entire Konohagakure's history would change accordingly.

As for what it would become...

Even Aoba was not clear.

He could use memory reading to learn about the past. And according to what a person had done, he could deduce this person's character and make some speculations. However, the future of the ninja world that he knew had changed with his arrival. It would not develop according to the original trajectory.

He understood.

The ninja world had entered a new era.

"Hahahahaha!"

After Teuchi heard Aoba's words, he immediately raised his head and laughed. You could tell that he was very happy. After laughing, he immediately put the cooked noodles in the bowl. This was the best information he had heard today.

"This bowl of noodles today will be my treat!"

...

Country of Fire, outside of Konohagakure, somewhere.

After confirming the path of Sunagakure's ninja army, Minato took over the command of the ninja army and ordered Konohagakure's ninjas to hide and maintain the silence of the forest.

Everyone received an order.

Before Minato made a move, no matter what happened, no one was allowed to make a move. They had to wait for Minato to attack together.

At this time.

Every Konohagakure ninja had already set up an ambush.

The forest was silent.

There was no sign of any movement at all.

Gradually.

Time passed.

About three hours later.

Rustling sounds slowly entered the ears of Konohagakure's ninjas. This sound immediately raised everyone's attention.

Everyone realized that Sunagakure's ninjas had arrived!

All of a sudden.

Everyone held their breath.

Everyone focuses their attention.

However.

They all remembered what Minato said in their minds.

That was to wait for Minato to take action before starting the battle.

They had already set up an inescapable net in this forest. In addition to all kinds of conventional traps, there were also many Flying Thunder God Formulas left behind in various hidden places such as trees, roots, and branches.

This place has turned into a huge gaping mouth.

Silently waiting for the arrival of prey.

A few seconds later.

The sound became closer.

There was the sound of figures passing through the woods.

No matter how careful Sunagakure's ninjas were, they could not completely hide the traces of their journey. Moreover, Sunagakure's ninjas did not intend to hide. They were here to split the cakes. Their goal was not to hide their whereabouts but to quickly arrive at the battlefield.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

The silhouettes of Sunagakure's ninjas quickly shuttled through the forest. Their figures had completely entered the vision of Konohagakure's ninjas.

When these Konohagakure ninjas looked at these Sunagakure ninjas.

They could not help but clench their fists.

Their eyes gradually became bloodshot.

Not long ago.

The Country of Wind was still the ally of their Country of Fire.

Sunagakure was also Konohagakure's friendly neighbor ninja village.

However.

It was this kind of village.

Under the Third Kazekage's leadership, they sneaked into Konohagakure while Kumogakure was attacking and almost caused an immeasurable loss.

It hasn't been long since that incident, and there hasn't even been an explanation, let alone a liquidation.

Now, Sunagakure was taking advantage of the chaos again.

How could they endure this?

The eyes of every Konohagakure's ninjas were red. After this incident, they had completely seen Sunagakure's face. Their hearts were filled with strong killing intent.

However.

They understood that Minato had his own plans.

Therefore, they hid their killing intent and did not reveal it. They silently watched Sunagakure's ninjas enter the area they had arranged beforehand.

Soon.

Sunagakure's ninjas rushed in one after another.

In the eyes of these Sunagakure's ninjas, this was just an ordinary forest. Along the way, they passed through countless such forests, but they did not notice anything unusual. All they thought about was to reach Konohagakure quickly and get their own shares.

In the central area of Sunagakure's ninja army, there was a rather old woman.

The old woman was wearing a white robe. Her overall temperament and style were different from the Sunagakure's ninjas around her. She looked very conspicuous.

This person was Sunagakure's Advisor, Chiyo.

Just as Chiyo entered this area, Minato's gaze immediately focused on Chiyo. He did not know Chiyo, nor had he fought with her. Before this, he did not know what kind of people Sunagakure would send.

However, the moment he saw Chiyo, he immediately saw that this very old woman was the soul of Sunagakure's ninja army.

Defeat the enemy by capturing their chief! (TL note: One of the Thirty-Six Stratagems.)

Minato's expression immediately became serious. He was very clear about their current situation. Their Konohagakure's ninjas had just experienced a crushing defeat.

That's right!

It was a crushing defeat!

Before he arrived, Konohagakure's ninjas were about to collapse from Iwagakure's ninjas attack.

There were countless casualties.

These ninjas who were still alive did not have much combat strength.

If they were to face Sunagakure's ninjas head-on, it would not be a good choice for them. The best way was to sneak attack.

Minato stared at Chiyo. He had already decided to kill her. This was no longer a matter of defeating the enemy by capturing their chief.

Sunagakure had repeatedly attacked Konohagakure.

Minato also knew about these things.

He was a very gentle person, but he knew very well that if he was still very gentle when establishing diplomatic relations with others, then this kind of gentleness would become the kind of softness that would be wantonly bullied by others.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Chiyo slightly turned her face and looked in Minato's direction. She suddenly felt an ice-cold stare, as if she was being targeted by a beast. However, this forest was very quiet, and it did not seem like there were any beasts. This made a big question mark appear in her head.

When Chiyo looked in Minato's direction.

Minato's line of sight met Chiyo's eyes through the grass.

Minato was shocked. He was not sure if Chiyo had discovered him, but he knew that it was time to make a move.

There was no need for Sunagakure's ninjas to fully enter the trap area.

He only must ensure that Chiyo stays in the trap area.

"Attack!"

Minato suddenly shouted. His voice was extremely sharp, and his face was extremely cold. This was the appearance that he rarely showed in front of people in the past. It was different from his usual gentle and elegant posture.

Swish!

Just as Minato finished speaking, his figure disappeared.

Immediately after.

Minato teleported to the tree branch on Chiyo's left. In his left hand was a special type of kunai. It was his Flying Thunder God Kunai. He then suddenly threw the kunai towards Chiyo.

"There's an ambush"

Chiyo immediately shouted. This was all her instinctive shout. In fact, she herself had not even reacted to what was going on. She had not even seen Minato's face clearly.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Chiyo had just finished speaking.

The quiet forest suddenly exploded.

It was unknown how many explosive tags were there.

It was unknown where they were all placed.

The entire forest was instantly covered in dust, and many of Sunagakure's ninjas were directly killed by the explosion caused by the explosive tag. The thick smoke caused by the explosion made their minds blank.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Kunai, shuriken, and all kinds of ninja tools were thrown from all sides of the forest toward the Sunagakure's ninja who was swallowed by the thick smoke.

The battle quickly unfolded before Sunagakure's ninja could react.

Swish!

There was a piercing sound in Chiyo's ears, but she did not have the heart to worry about the kunai that did not hit her at all. Instead, she stared at the Minato who had already had a Rasengan in his hand and was rushing toward her.

"Who are you?"

Chiyo asked coldly. She calmly reached into her ninja pouch. The purpose of her asking this question was not to know Minato's identity. She wants to take out her special poison, so she uses words to buy time.
