Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

"Minato, please don't run so fast."

Akimichi Choza walked slowly in the woods, holding the barbecue he had just taken out of the sealed scroll in his hand.

"Boss Ding, you've been eating all the way!"

Next to Ding Zuo, a peer wearing a mask and sunglasses complained speechlessly.

Aburame Zhiwei is usually a taciturn person, but Akimichi Dingzuo is such a big eater that it is easy to leave traces during the mission.

Swah——

A figure flashed in front of the two of them.

The person with a hearty smile and a gentle face was none other than Minato Namikaze.

"I checked ahead, there's no danger."

"Of course, the Sand Ninjas on the River Country front were stopped in the Gobi Desert~"

Akimichi Choza pouted as he stuffed the whole piece of barbecue into his mouth.

A three-person Genin team accepted a B-rank mission to deliver supplies to the River Country front.

Because it was wartime, the character level was raised to B-level, otherwise it should be C-level.

"By the way, Minato, can I meet the Shinzo teacher you mentioned when I go to River Country this time?"

Although Shinzo is on the front line in River Country, he is already famous in Konoha. The Third Hokage and Danzo fought over him in the office. No one knows who spread the news, and for a while many people were wondering who Shinzo was?

Soon, Shinzo's background was revealed. He was a teacher at Konohagakure. He had been unknown before. It was not until a few years ago when he completed a mission with Sarutobi Hiruzen that he seemed to have been noticed by the current Third Hokage.

During this period, the Third Hokage invited Shinzo to be promoted to Jonin many times, but he refused every time on the grounds that he still had students to teach.

This forced Sarutobi Hiruzen to use his power to reduce the number of students assigned to Shinzo's class. Until the beginning of this year, before the Jonin Conference, there were no new students in Shinzo's class, and only then was he removed from the ninja school.

Akimichi Choza was not curious about Shinzo because he and Minato were in the same class and both studied under Shinzo, but he graduated a year earlier with Shikaku and the others.

Although Aburame Shiwei was in the same class as Minato, she was in a different class and had never met Shinzo.

"Probably so."

Minato wasn't too sure, as Shinzo seemed to be in a fairly high position on the Kawanokuni front, and he wasn't sure if he could even see him.

"By the way, during your time at the ninja academy, did you ever see Shinzo-sensei take action?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because teachers at ninja schools are usually Chunin, but Shinzo-sensei walked out of the school and immediately became a Jonin. Doesn't this mean that his strength should have surpassed Chunin a long time ago?"

"Wow! Minato you're so smart!"

Qiu Dao Ding Zuo clapped his hands and exclaimed in praise.

"Hahaha~ Not really~"

Minato scratched his head.

"I just think it's very sudden that Shinzo-sensei became a jonin, and I've never seen him take action."

Minato recollected carefully and suddenly remembered that Shinzo had actually taken action briefly during the graduation test.

During the physical skills test, Shinzo once used the instant body movement technique to remove a standard kunai from a human target.

high speed.

Minato recalled what happened at that time, but he only knew that it happened very quickly and he couldn't remember anything else. After all, most of his attention was on Kushina at that time.

"When we get to the front lines, won't we be able to see Mr. Shinzo? Can't we just ask him directly?"

"But Mr. Shinzo is very low-key."

Minato shrugged.

"Then let's see him fight the Sand Ninja. He'll always take action."

"no!"

Minato immediately waved to Akimichi Choza.

"Our mission is to escort the supplies. After delivering the supplies, we must immediately return to Konoha."

"It's okay to stop for a day~"

Akimichi Choza pouted.

"Not even for a single day, Choza. Making decisions on your own will easily affect the strategies and decisions on the front lines, especially since we are only Genin and not strong enough to fight the Sand Ninja head-on."

Minato Namikaze has a solid foundation in academic subjects. Although he has never been to the battlefield, he seems to have a very good understanding of how to deal with various situations on the battlefield.

"and many more."

Aburame Shiwei, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up.

Above his sunglasses, his eyebrows came together.

As the most perceptive ninja in the team, his parasite told him that there were enemies around.

"Surrounded."

"Hahahaha! You're very alert, little brat!"

Swish-

Two figures jumped out from the bushes on both sides.

But it's not a human, it's a puppet.

Sand Ninja!

How come the Sand Ninja appeared here?

"There really is no one left in Konoha. It's just a little Genin~"

"Hurry up and take the supply scroll away."

After a brief conversation between the two, two puppets rushed forward.

"careful!"

Minato Namikaze was the first to react. He used a flash technique to rush towards one of the puppets and threw the kunai in his hand accurately, hitting the puppet.

Ding--

There was a crisp sound, but the kunai didn't penetrate and was bounced away!

"I come!"

"The art of doubling!"

Qiu Dao Ding Zuo roared in a muffled voice, put his hands together, and his body immediately began to swell.

In the blink of an eye, a little fat boy turned into a big fat boy.

However, Akimichi Choza was still young, and his multiplication technique could only allow him to grow to a height of about three meters.

"Meat bomb tank!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Akimichi Choza turned into a ball with great impact and rushed towards the two puppets.

Aburame Zhiwei kept frowning, with cold sweat running down her temples.

No, no, still can’t find it!

As a perception ninja, his task was not to stop the puppet immediately, but to find the ninja who controlled the puppet and... where the third person was.

Parasitic insects continued to pour out of Aburame Zhiwei's body. The densely packed little insects looked quite crowded, but they scattered in the blink of an eye.

In the dense forest, the distance between the puppeteer and the puppet must not be too far!

Seeing that the bug of Aburame Shiwei was released, Namikaze Minato gritted his teeth, knowing that he had to delay time for Aburame Shiwei.

"Dingzuo!"

"Know!"

Akimichi Choza responded, and the big meat ball slammed down between the two puppets with a bang.

Chi chi chi——

The moment the puppet was approached by Akimichi Choza, it began to explode like a magic box whose mechanism had been triggered.

The arms of the two puppets broke simultaneously, and several steel wires connected to their arms instantly emerged from their shoulders.

Swish-

The steel wire was pulled by the arm and surrounded Akimichi Choza.

bang——

When Akimichi Choza officially collided between the two puppets, Namikaze Minato also flashed behind the two puppets.

Chakra threads!

Minato aimed at one of the silk threads and slashed at it with his kunai in reverse grip.

bass!

The thread broke instantly, the strength of the chakra thread was not high.

"what!!"

But it was useless to cut a thread. The painful voice of Akimichi Choza immediately drew Minato Namikaze's attention.

He was entangled, and the wires were still tightening!

Minato Namikaze was furious, gritted his teeth, and slashed at the next chakra thread.

It is too late to save Ding Zuo. The connection between the puppeteer and the puppet must be cut off first!

In the back, Aburame Zhiwei was controlling the parasitic bug with sweat on her forehead, but it was too late, too late!

"Boy, your bugs are very interesting."

A voice came from behind Aburame Shiwei, very close, just beside her neck.

Zhiwei's body immediately froze.

The long sword suddenly appeared, shining coldly.

laugh--

Blood spilled in the jungle.
