Chapter 145 - Infiltration 07.

[Chapter Size: 2200 Words.]

Third Person POV

Land of Sand, Year 38.

...

...

Minato stared at Chiyo and her group while the woman was quite stunned with her grandson being taken as a hostage by the enemy. She internally questioned what to do now with this stranger, who by his voice, seemed very young.

"What do you want? Wait, is he poisoned?" Chiyo asked, raising her voice as soon as she saw the red marks on Sasori's neck, becoming flustered.

"No, it's nothing personal," Minato replied. "It's just a defense mechanism so you don't just destroy the place and guarantee me the poison. I'm here to negotiate. You give me the formula for the poison and the antidote, I want at least 3 vials of it, and I'll release your grandson. Fair, isn't it?" Minato spoke with a firm tone.

Chiyo narrowed her eyes, not liking this at all, but what else could she do? "How did you get here so fast... you should be captured at this moment in the village..." She didn't understand how Minato got here.

"Does it matter?" Minato mocked.

He sighed but still had some doubts. "Why go so far? What you're doing is suicide. Wait, are you also infected?" She was first surprised by this invasion entering the village through a disguise, surprised to see that Minato was infected on his arm.

'How can he be fine with an infected arm?!' But what shocked her more was the fact that the boy seemed perfectly fine while he should be writhing in pain and not being able to be well, after all, the poison consumed chakra all the time, it didn't make sense for him to enter an enemy base with those conditions, it was suicide.

If Minato managed to get here, Chiyo knew he had defeated several guards, and Chiyo wondered what this boy was made of, since nobody could act like this after being infected.

"It doesn't matter now, Chiyo. Anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you. You are quite famous among us, after all your poisons have killed more Konoha ninjas than anyone else..." Minato spoke calmly.

"You can bet on that, boy. Anyway, you want the poison and the cure? That's too much. If I give you the cure, that would put a war back into play..." Chiyo said.

"Well, then you will see your grandson die. I can still hold on, but him... I doubt he will last much..." Minato said, taunting.

Chiyo immediately frowned, not liking his words. She cared about her family more than anything and would never let that happen.

It was at that moment that several ninjas began to enter the room, surrounding Minato, making Chiyo more comfortable. "You are at a disadvantage, boy. Better you hand over my grandson and I can guarantee that you leave Suna alive..." she simply said, matching the threat, while Minato shook his head.

"Even if I'm surrounded, I still have your grandson's life in my hands. Hand over the poison and I promise he will live. Otherwise, you'll find out who is faster: your ninjas or me while I cut his throat," Minato replied with a firm tone. He was a ninja and would act as such to save his companion, despite knowing that none of this would happen.

"..." Chiyo seemed quite irritated, but nodded in the end. "Alright, boy," she said at the end, while the other ninjas looked at her, stunned.

She didn't care about that, even if she had to work even harder, she wouldn't let her grandson die, she would never forgive herself for that. Despite everything, since she saw Minato threaten her family in this way, she would never forget him and would certainly avenge him, promising that he would not leave this place alive, so she didn't mind picking up the real scroll with the construction of the poison and the antidote, along with some vials of the latter in a drawer.

Minato saw this and immediately made a clone. As the clone approached Chiyo and grabbed the items, opening the scroll and reading quickly while Minato continued with a kunai at Sasori's neck. The clone finished reading, although not being any expert, it could tell if it was real or not and Chiyo handed over the real one, the clone went to the original who stored the scroll and took one of the vials.

"That's good. I appreciate that, Chiyo," he said at the end, his clone disappearing with Minato not putting much chakra into it given his condition.

"Now, release my grandson," she immediately requested.

Minato shook his head. "Not yet. I need to know if the antidote works," he said, picking up the vials and putting one to Sasori's mouth for him to drink unconsciously. As the liquid flowed down his throat, Minato could feel the boy's life force beginning to be restored.

"This is good, really good," Minato spoke satisfactorily. Surprisingly, he lifted Sasori with brute force and threw him to Chiyo, while surrounded by several ninjas.

Chiyo did not expect something like this; after all, she thought he would use her grandson to escape, but he kept his part of the word.

He didn't want to flee immediately either, as he still intended to rescue the prisoners being used in experiments there. The place fell silent for a moment, everyone attentive to what would happen next.

"Come on, what are you waiting for! Attack! Don't let him leave this place alive!" One of the ninjas shouted, and quickly several others advanced against Minato. He dodged the first attack, spinning his body and delivering a kick to the back of the enemy's neck, dislocating it.

Everyone launched their attacks against Minato at that moment in that small space of the laboratory, which he began to quickly dodge while his body spun among the ninjas. Chiyo was at a distance, seeing that her grandson was okay, before setting him aside and looking again, surprised to see Minato knocking down three more ninjas.

"This kid is not just anyone... Who is he?" she murmured, seeing that he was as strong as a Jonin. But she couldn't see his face right because of the clothing Minato wore as a disguise.

"We can't let him leave here alive," she finally said. Quickly, two scrolls were activated from her waist. Masks began to emerge from them as she opened them, materializing into bodies all dressed in white ninja clothes.

Minato knocked down another ninja beside him and, at the same time, kicked another, while observing the four summons. "This..." They weren't as many as the puppets Chiyo faced Sasori with in Shippuden, but they were certainly all dangerous, more dangerous than any other puppet he had faced so far.

"Let's see if you can handle this, kid!" Chiyo said and quickly moved her fingers, as the puppets flew at high speed towards Minato.

Seeing this, Minato quickly grabbed a sword from a ninja who attacked him and prepared for the combat by getting into a fighting stance with ninjas and puppets coming from all sides, while most of the opponents wielded blades. The first attack came and Minato parried it. He then began to use, perhaps for the first time, the kenjutsu techniques he learned last with the members of the Hatake clan, in the Phantom Division.

The place quickly became engulfed in an intense battle. Minato used only his physical abilities from the six styles and Kenjutsu to move throughout the space, gaining some advantage as he could use the air as a platform as he kicked to move, the attacks began and the white puppets were the most powerful with Chiyo controlling these puppets masterfully.

The battle was of high intensity, forcing the ninjas to retreat, while Minato ran through the air, parrying sword attacks. A puppet tried to punch him, but he dodged, almost disappearing, and reappeared on top of another puppet beside, slicing it in half, ending with the first of Chiyo's puppets.

"What? He defeated a puppet of Chiyo-sama?" The shinobis murmured in shock, seeing that Minato was much stronger than they expected and these white puppets were considered legendary, after all, Chiyo was the greatest user and puppetry expert in Sunakagure.

Minato quickly parried attacks with the sword he had in hand while grabbing another vial of the antidote he had received. Even in the midst of the fight, he parried a sword with one hand and took the vial with the other. After finishing drinking, he returned to fight, as he needed to recover his chakra. Additionally, this made him feel relieved when the pain finally began to disappear and his chakra began to react immediately as the antidote took effect, now he needed to wait a bit before starting to leave here.

Suddenly, someone thought they saw an opening and threw a kunai with a paper bomb at Minato.

"What are you doing, you idiot?" Chiyo exclaimed, irritated, as she saw how the boy had acted and even surrounded, fought as if he was aware of everything happening around him while he parried all attacks when not dodging them. It was a way of fighting she had never seen before, wondering how, besides being fast, the boy could even know about attacks trying to hit him in blind spots. It was chaos as sparks from blades began to scatter all over the place during the fight with the boy continuing to move his arm rapidly.

So it was no surprise when this stranger easily caught the kunai and threw it back at another ninja, who had no time to react as his neck was pierced. The next moment, an explosion erupted throughout the laboratory, and Minato advanced with his sword amidst the smoke of debris, fighting against the puppets that now had difficulty seeing due to the dust raised.

He cut off the head of Chiyo's second puppet at this moment and advanced among the ninjas, taking down several of them as he moved towards the third white puppet, which had no time to react before its body was sliced in half.

Seeing this, Chiyo quickly ordered her fourth puppet to retreat, as the room began to recover, but with no further sign of Minato as things began to calm down with only Suna ninjas exclaiming amid the chaos. He had taken advantage of the chaos to leave the room behind.

"Where is he?" Chiyo looked to one of the surviving ninjas, a sensor. The ninja quickly closed his eyes and made a hand sign, scanning the area until finally locating him. "He's heading to the prison," he declared.

"Take care of my grandson," was all Chiyo said before advancing with her last puppet. She couldn't understand how someone so young could be so strong, but she couldn't let him live or leave here with that scroll, after all, it would once again destroy Suna's advantage over Konoha with the new poison.

Minato quickly moved through the prison, observing each of the cells. He began to free the prisoners, who screamed in pain and agony with their veins red spread across their bodies.

This frustrated him a bit, but he quickly began to pull out a fuuinjutsu scroll, grabbing some seals, he placed them on the foreheads of the infected ninjas, making them faint instantly.

He needed to first get the bodies inside the scrolls, but had to prepare for a while, as he didn't have much chakra he quickly thought of doing the most urgent thing, while he blushed his finger and performed a summoning jutsu, as in front of him a toad appeared.

"Hm?! Did you summon me?" the toad asked.

"Yes, I want you to pass this scroll and antidote to Tsuna. Tell Jiraiya-sensei, that I am sending this to save Tsuna and pass this scroll to his mother, Tsunade, having the construction of the poison and the recipe for the antidote for her to make immediately, don't forget this!!" he immediately requested.

"Alright!" The toad was surprised by the demand but seeing that his summoner was so serious, he put them inside his mouth and disappeared in smoke soon after.

After that the toad disappeared and Minato quickly created a clone to go meet the ninjas who were approaching, trying to buy some time for himself.

Chiyo arrived with a team and came upon a ninja standing in front of them, a clone of Minato to be exact, and he quickly performed a jutsu in his hands, while a glow immediately appeared, blinding them the next moment.

"AHHH!! My eyes!!" Everyone exclaimed, even Chiyo was caught off guard by the flash jutsu.

Quickly, Minato began to put all the Konoha ninjas inside scrolls, after rendering them unconscious going cell by cell. When he finally decided to leave, he had rescued a dozen of them, but he couldn't put them in a toad as he did with the scrolls.

His clone had been destroyed by then and Minato faced Chiyo looking at him with a serious gaze keeping her last puppet in front of her along with other ninjas.

"Well... it looks like now I have to get out of here..." Minato murmured knowing that all of Suna should be behind him at that moment.
