Minato didn't pay any attention to the Hidden Grass ninja. A Rasengan slammed down amidst the ninja's despairing gaze.
The world was quiet again!
"Reporting to Lord Hokage. Currently, there are several Hidden Cloud ninjas waiting in the Land of Grass. Among them, there is 1 Kage-level, 3 Elite Jonin, and 5 Jonin."
At this time, the Intelligence Division reported another piece of news.
"Minato, I leave the matters of the Hidden Grass Village and those Hidden Cloud people to you. Do you need anyone to go with you?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt assured entrusting such diplomatic matters to Minato.
"No need to bring anyone else. Taking Mikoto with me is enough. But I want to know, Uncle Hokage, what is your attitude towards the Hidden Grass Village? Exterminate or spare?"
Minato asked what was on his mind.
"Eliminate the disobedient ones and support an obedient one. After all, they are allies. Wiping them all out would damage Konoha's positive image.
"Of course, it mainly depends on you. If you choose to wipe them out, I will support it. Anyway, I've handed this matter over to you."
Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a while and gave an answer.
"Thank you for your trust, Uncle Hokage. I also think it's better to support an obedient Grass Shadow."
This time, Minato's opinion aligned with Hiruzen Sarutobi's.
"Then this old man will wait here for your good news."
Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed, appreciating Minato even more.
"No problem. I'll set off now to hunt down the Hidden Cloud ninjas. But I hope Lord Hokage can have the Anbu deliver three meals a day to Nana. Once I leave, no one will deliver food to her."
Before leaving, Minato told Hiruzen Sarutobi about Kushina.
"Haha, small matter. I'm gratified that Kushina has someone who loves her so much. I couldn't bear it when she had to leave her home, but the Nine-Tails needed a vessel. Fortunately, Kushina met you."
Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed and spoke from the bottom of his heart.
"Meeting Nana is also my luck."
Minato smiled, then stopped delaying. With the Flying Thunder God Technique, he returned home.
After telling Mikoto about the mission and the reason, the two set off straight for the Hidden Grass Village.
Actually, Minato felt very regretful. He originally thought he could do some relaxing activities with Mikoto at home, but he had to go on a mission again.
But there was no helping it. He had to take this mission. So far, he had only received the Kage-level development reward from Mikoto; he hadn't obtained it from any other Kage-level opponents.
Last time he fought the Third Raikage, it was a draw, not a defeat.
This time, there was a Kage-level existence from the Hidden Cloud Village there, perfect for killing to increase development progress.
To save time, Minato took Mikoto directly to the camp Konoha had stationed in the Hidden Rain Village using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
This saved a lot of travel time because the Land of Grass was right next to the Land of Rain.
From here to the Land of Grass, and then to the Hidden Grass Village, it wouldn't even take Minato half a day with his speed.
...
"Where's Minato?"
Looking at the Anbu delivering food in front of her, Kushina asked in surprise.
"Lord Minato went out on a mission, so he entrusted Lord Hokage to deliver food to you."
The Anbu was respectful. He knew Minato was the designated Fourth Hokage. He hadn't missed the discussion between the Third Hokage and Lord Minato that afternoon.
So he had to show the necessary respect. This person would be the wife of the future Fourth Hokage, so he couldn't slight her.
"Ah, is that so? He went on a mission without taking me. Really."
Kushina muttered discontentedly. But she also knew that this mission must be related to the three Hidden Cloud ninjas captured in the afternoon.
But unfortunately, she was participating in the Chunin Exams and couldn't just give up halfway.
Forget it. This lady will stay here and bully the kids.
"Thanks for delivering the food."
Kushina handed the empty lunch box to the Anbu for disposal; littering wasn't good.
At this time, Nawaki and Shibi also gave their empty boxes to the Anbu.
Yes, Nawaki and Shibi got some too.
Because the Anbu thought he was delivering food for three people, Nawaki accidentally got to eat delicious food too.
Kushina didn't say anything about this. If it was delivered, just give it to them.
"Ah, I'm alive again! After a delicious dinner, I'm full of energy again."
Patting his stomach, Nawaki was full of fighting spirit.
Kushina: ...
I shouldn't have let you eat!
...
Back to Minato's side. After half a day of travel, Minato arrived at the Hidden Grass Village. It was just dawn, and people were probably still asleep.
Minato naturally traveled through the night.
After arriving at the Hidden Grass Village, he didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the guest rooms prepared by the Hidden Grass Village for those Hidden Cloud people.
Obviously, Minato didn't waste time and prepared to start fighting immediately. After finishing the job, he would go home to sleep. The way back was different from the way there; returning only took a blink of an eye.
After arriving at a house, Minato activated his sensory abilities. Finding that the people inside matched the intelligence, he didn't dawdle.
He immediately began condensing a Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, then smashed it down on the entire house.
Although the time to condense the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken was short, only a second, it still alerted the people inside. However, only the 3 Elite Jonin and that Kage-level ninja managed to escape.
The other five Jonin were directly buried under the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.
"Konoha ninja! Does this mean Hirono's plan failed? Damn it!"
When the Hidden Cloud ninjas jumped out, they instantly discovered the attacker.
Seeing the opponent wearing a Konoha forehead protector, they secretly thought it was bad. Their carefully planned operation was ruined.
But they couldn't figure out why such a meticulous plan was ruined.
If they knew that the Hidden Cloud's plan was ruined by coincidence, they might vomit blood in anger.
"I can only say your plan was good, but man proposes, God disposes. Sometimes luck is also a kind of strength."
When the intelligence told him that Hirono had targeted Kushina for assassination, Minato laughed.
It was a good thing he agreed to Kushina's mischievous behavior, otherwise he wouldn't have caught such a big fish.
An Elite Jonin daring to go kill a Kage-level Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? Hirono, who was probably in the Pure Land right now, must have ten thousand curses he wanted to spit out.
It was truly too deceptive.
Where in the world does a Kage-level Jinchuriki run off to participate in the Chunin Exams? It was simply unique, insane to the extreme.
