Volume 1--Seeds in troubled times Chapter 96--Support or spoil the situation
"I...I'm sorry, Yu Ling. I really can't say...you are still young and don't know much. When you grow up, you will slowly understand the world, you will understand the Otsutsuki clan, and you will
Understand the people around you. Similarly, you will also understand yourself. Come on step by step... I will guide your cultivation... The three times I said it are just the times I saved you. Normally, I will be there
I'm sorry, I can't tell you." The man lowered his head and said a lot at once as if talking to himself. He couldn't bear to look directly at Yu Ling who was crying in front of him, but he couldn't step forward to comfort him.
"I'm really sorry..."
"You... forget it, it's time for me to wake up. Next time... I'll come find you." Yu Ling's tears suddenly stopped, and she raised her head unnaturally. She wiped her face hard with her arms.
, he turned his head and walked towards the deeper darkness in his spirit.
"well……"
…
In reality, Yu Ling has not woken up yet. Yue Tu's report has been written and handed over to Xiao Ying for distribution.
Likewise, Jugo and Kimimaro, who were lying on the side, did not wake up either.
Unusual silence in the chaotic forest.
Not far away, two young men who looked exactly like Yu Ling held up four ninjas in a strange way and walked towards them.
Those were obviously Yu Ling's two clones. Yu Ling's mask was destroyed, so the two of them naturally lost their masks.
"You two are back, how are they?" The idle Moon Rabbit sensed the arrival of the two from afar, stood up, and poked his head out from behind the big tree to inquire.
"None of their lives are in danger. Except for Senior Kai's vitality is relatively weak...there is nothing wrong with them." The wind clone walked in front, observing the four people he was carrying while responding.
"Then you come here quickly, I'll take care of it." Yuetu squatted down again, rummaged through the medical bag beside him, and finally took out two rolls of bandages and a small amount of herbs.
This is already all the medical resources provided by a team, which is usually enough to support two missions.
In special circumstances, it seems so insufficient.
"It's coming, it's coming..." The wind clone started running and hurriedly sent the four of them to the Moon Rabbit.
The untimely noise in the silence woke up Yu Ling.
The opened eyes have returned to their normal state, and the purple chakra no longer flows throughout the body.
His mind was still a little dizzy, and he was really confused about the situation. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth: "Yuetu, where is this?"
"Hey, captain, you're awake! This is the place where you fought just now. There are too many wounded and we can't move them."
"How many wounded...are there? Apart from Chonggo, is there anyone else?" The memory was slightly fragmented, and one card after another could not be processed.
"Well, Captain Kushina's team is also nearby, and all of them were seriously injured. Kimimaro fainted before."
"What...that's it. Then, the mission must continue...Have you reported the situation to Hokage-sama?"
"Yes, I've reported it. There's no reply yet. Hey, you two, be on guard!" Yue Rabbit said, looking at the two drowsy and crumbling clones from the corner of his eye, he shouted hurriedly.
"We... don't have enough chakra."
The backbone of the clone's existence is chakra. When the chakra in the body dissipates, it is time for them to disappear. These two clones have been alone since the battle with Jugo until now, and the chakra is almost empty. It is estimated that a decent one
I can't even use my ninjutsu.
"Huh? You two come back. Clone, solution, five escapes, and the art of clone." The voice still revealed weakness, but chakra can already be freely manipulated. Five clones with different attributes landed on the ground, and their status was full.
of.
It jumped out in five different directions, leaving only an afterimage in place.
…
"Report! Hokage-sama, I received a letter from the frontline rescue team of the ANBU captain!" A messenger held up a small eagle and ran down from the rooftop in a hurry, shouting as he ran.
After all, this mission is an S-level key mission personally designated by the Hokage-sama, with the highest level of attention currently. Any mission must be compromised for this mission. Whether it is resources or support.
"Huh? Kushina and the others. How are they?" Kushina has been out for many days, and Minato has naturally been worried about her. The last report was almost a week ago.
"This report comes from the ANBU, codenamed Moon Rabbit. The content is encrypted and only the Hokage can see it."
"Is that so...Yuetu, Yu Ling from Tian Ling's team should be fine, right?" Seeing the messenger walking towards the door, Minato opened the scroll and said to himself.
"To Hokage-sama: The mission has been stalled due to the physical condition of the team members. Currently, only Team Kushina, Captain Tian Ling and I can continue the mission. Tomorrow Mingyue has returned to the border. Two local high-level officials have been captured. The other Team Kushina is injured.
Serious, hope for support"
The short report did not talk about the achievements of the mission, but more about reporting on injuries and illnesses...
"The mission... didn't mention the results, so it looks very unsatisfactory. There aren't many active forces left, so the mission must continue... But for support, high-level combat power must be dispatched. Is Kushina seriously injured...
"Minato couldn't think of anything except holding his forehead and sighing.
I received a report on the activities of the Kingdom of Wind at the border two days ago. It seems that small-scale friction is necessary again. A Jonin team has just been sent out, and now it needs support... There is really a shortage of manpower.
"Minato!" The door to the Hokage's room was suddenly smashed open.
Standing at the door were two ANBU on both sides, and in the middle was Danzo Shimura, one of the elders of Konoha.
His eyes were narrowed to a narrow slit, he was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and his body was covered with bandages.
"Elder, what's wrong?" Minato has always disliked Danzo Shimura. Not only because as an elder, he made trouble for the Hokage everywhere, but he also created "roots" underground and shared Konoha's military strength.
But now, Minato suddenly broke into the Hokage's room when he was troubled, making the gentle man a little irritable.
"Yu Ling...why is it that others have accidents frequently, but he can survive safely?" He was aggressive from the beginning, as if it was not Danzo who sent people to monitor and assassinate Yu Ling. "Konoha invested a lot in this mission
The high combat effectiveness, but look at the results, how long did it take? The rescue has not even started yet!"
Danzo, who still had spies in the dark, probably had much more information than Minato, so he was able to rush into the Hokage's room at the first opportunity...
"Then what can you do?" You are really at a loss. Do you want to take action yourself?
"Isn't it thanks to you that Yu Ling can survive?"
"I can use my "root" to assist you." Ignoring Minato's sarcasm, Danzo directly showed his intention.
"Root" is a private organization that is completely affiliated with Danzo... in the name of Konoha, it does things that are not allowed by nature but that really help Konoha... to achieve the goal, no matter what the means.
"Gen? Danzo Shimura, are you serious?" Minato couldn't help but sneered. Danzo was famous throughout Konoha for his coldness and selfishness, and now he would take the initiative to ask for help?
"That's right...for Konoha." Two teams have been sent secretly, and now they are asking to send another team to support. It is a big burden for the originally small "Gen".
Zang also spent a lot of money...but like the four teams sent by Minato, there was no actual results.
"Hmph...for Konoha? Let's see why you say that." This may be the only way, and Minato can only try this method. Although he is very reluctant, but for Jiuxin
For the sake of them and the imprisoned Yamato, they could only reluctantly accept this assistance.
"Okay. This is an elite team of mine. They cooperate well and have completed several S-level missions, dozens of A-level missions, and dozens of B-level missions. The mission completion rate is 80%." Danzo introduced confidently.
The record of this team is 80%, which is not a low figure. The most famous ninjas in Konoha probably only have such results.
"Eighty percent? What are the areas that the members are good at?" Listening to such data, Minato was a little moved but did not show it. His face was slightly stiff and nervous. After all, it is not a good thing for Naruto to have a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
.Then he asked about the most important key to a team - focus.
"Two perception and control, one medical ninja, and one defensive auxiliary ninja." Danzo looked at Minato who took the bait, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his confident aura gradually replaced the anger and jealousy that had always been hidden in his head.
"This is...the non-standardized scout unit?" The non-standardized scout unit is a team planning by ANBU. It is usually temporarily put together by ninjas with special abilities in various teams. But...this team is together.
After performing so many tasks, it’s a bit overwhelming.
"You can say yes, you can say no. They are what I call the secret infiltration force." Danzo pounded the ground heavily with his wooden stick and his tone became dull.
"Infiltration?" Although he didn't like Danzo, Minato would not fail to learn it if he had advantages. This term directly attracted Minato's attention, as if he had forgotten about the mission.
However, at this point, Danzo had no intention of saying any more and simply turned his head away without answering.
"Danzo, thank you for your support." Minato's ability to observe people's emotions is one of the best in Konoha... As soon as Danzo turned around, Minato put away the interest shown on his face and silently took note of Danzo's lineup.
Get up and see off guests.
"Haha... It's just for Konoha, you don't need to thank me. It's just... Hokage-sama, do you think this is a favor from me?" He held the door handle with one hand, and did not forget to look back to take the credit for this time, grimly.
Minato, who was smiling, felt nauseated again.
"Yes..." He barely squeezed out a word through his teeth, and his upper and lower jaws grinded together.
"Haha... That's good. As a gentleman says, a horse cannot be chased." He turned around, slammed the door, and walked out step by step with a wooden staff. Two more "rooted" ninjas followed behind him.
