Chapter 49 » High Hopes? I Like to Shatter Them!
A flash of light from the Flying Thunder God technique illuminated the room as the two people materialized.
Kushina's heart raced with shock. Wasn't the Flying Thunder God technique something only Minato could currently master? How could he use it? Moreover, he could perform such long-distance teleportation! His power was truly terrifying.
Yusuke had just passed the test, gaining a rough understanding of the Flying Thunder God technique's mechanism. With sufficient chakra, he could now teleport vast distances.
Starting from the border of the Land of Water and the Land of Fire, he had used the technique to reach Kiri's ANBU headquarters. This long-distance jump consumed about 30% of his chakra.
He casually tossed Kushina onto the bed, ignoring her indignant expression. In a flash, he transformed into lightning and vanished.
There were still unfinished matters at the ANBU prison.

Outside Kiri's ANBU prison, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared. Yusuke had arrived.
As he materialized, Mangetsu and Kisame, who had been staking out the area, immediately bowed respectfully. "Lord Yusuke!"
"Report." Yusuke commanded.
Mangetsu spoke gravely, "Twelve ninja (six teams) from Konoha have infiltrated the sky prison from various directions. As per your orders, we've intentionally led them all inside. All exits are now secretly guarded — they have no chance of escape. Additionally, the remaining five of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen have replaced Minato Namikaze's guards and will cooperate with the Konoha infiltrators."
At this point, Mangetsu once again marveled at Yusuke's foresight. He had initially thought this would be a goodwill negotiation between Konoha and Kiri. But it was actually the other side's strategy — and everything had already been calculated by his captain.
"Good."

Meanwhile, inside the ANBU sky prison...
Kakashi's team had been cautious — extremely cautious. Finally, they arrived at the most heavily guarded prison door.
Sharingan Genjutsu!
Kakashi didn't hesitate. In a battle without sound, only the Sharingan's genjutsu could incapacitate the opponent.
Soon, all five of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen pretending to be guards fell to the ground. Of course, with Kakashi's current control over the Sharingan, he could at most only release genjutsu.
Moreover, after the five were caught in the genjutsu, they all broke free of it in less than a second. However, to cooperate with Captain Yusuke's plan, they continued to play along.
"Quick, move! My genjutsu can only put them to sleep for five minutes at most!" Kakashi urged.
"Yes!" The gathered Konoha ANBU ninja behind him immediately nodded.
Two ninja swiftly destroyed the prison door lock, then pushed the door open and entered. As Kakashi and the others stepped inside, they saw a sight that made their blood boil.
Minato was bound by chains, barely clinging to life. His body was extremely weak.
"Minato Sensei!" Kakashi gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
In a flash, he appeared before his team leader and called out to him.
Hearing the familiar voice, Minato suddenly opened his eyes. In those blue pupils, there was anger, resentment, and endless hatred. This look startled even Kakashi, who stood right in front of him.
When had his teacher ever shown such an expression? It could only mean one thing — his teacher had suffered endless torment here.
"You... Kakashi? How are you all here?" Minato regained clarity, his face full of disbelief.
"Minato Sensei! We've come to rescue you!" Kakashi quickly explained the mission Hiruzen had assigned to him.
"Good! Good! Good!" Minato's whole body began to tremble.
If he could be rescued back to Konoha and relearn the Flying Thunder God technique, he could freely enter and exit Kirigakure. Then, rescuing Kushina would naturally be easy.
"Hurry! We must be careful! That Yusuke Kamizuki could return at any moment!" Minato said, wishing he could grind his teeth to dust.
"Yugao, prepare the retreat route!" Kakashi immediately ordered.
"Yes!" Yugao confirmed the route, and just as she was about to lead the retreat —
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed before everyone's eyes!
Then, a clear voice rang out.
"You've barely stepped foot in here, and you're already planning your exit? I think not."
