Chapter 504: Grass Ninja's Preparation

The tower in the center of the Forest of Death.

The Anbu had gathered all the candidates together.

As well as the invigilators upstairs, they were all gathered together.

The ANBU has limited personnel and can only be managed centrally in this way.

To avoid accidents.

The entire central tower, whether it is the candidates or the invigilators.

All were poisoned by morning flowers.

Because this toxin has not been seen for many years.

These ANBU are not specialized in poisons, and the antidote on their bodies has no effect on the poison.

Fortunately, the toxin is not fatal.

It brings comfort to the ANBU people.

After checking the personnel list, the ANBU found that there were a total of six missing people, three of whom were grass ninjas.

Gaara, son of Sunagakure Kazekage Rasa.

Kimimaro of Yao Gin, and Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha.

When the ANBU people came over, they only saw a strange man kidnapping Gaara.

The ANBU people knew Uzumaki Naruto's identity.

The Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

Some of them had even done the job of monitoring Naruto before.

The people leading the ANBU here are none other than the Hokage guards, Iwashi, Shiranui Genma, and Minami.

Their mission is to ensure the safety of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

If there is danger, the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki must be sent back as soon as possible.

Now Naruto suddenly disappeared.

The problem is huge.

There were more than twenty candidates, all gathered in the hall.

Taken care of by ANBU.

Sasuke was so anxious that he fell into a coma before, and only woke up when someone moved him.

The poison in his body is still unresolved.

After he was moved out by the ANBU, his eyes wandered around and he saw traces of the battle.

But there was no trace of Naruto.

Several Anbu were discussing what to do.

A figure instantly appeared next to Sasuke.

"who!?"

Shiranui Genma subconsciously rushed over, preparing to protect the students.

But the moment he saw the person clearly.

Like being struck by lightning.

"Four...Yondaime Hokage-sama!?"

The tone of Shiranui Genma's voice changed, and his whole body was greatly shocked.

The other two, Dieyiwahi and Bingzhidei, were also shocked.

The three of them were Minato's guards more than ten years ago, and Minato also taught them the flying thunder god technique.

Minato taught him seriously, but the three of them were limited by their qualifications, and the Flying Thunder God didn't learn it. The three of them reluctantly activated the Flying Thunder God's formation together.

But the three people respect the Fourth Hokage a lot.

When the fourth generation died, the three of them were also very sad.

Now, after nearly 13 years, they met the fourth generation Hokage again. The three of them were surprised and happy.

"Lord Yondaime Hokage, is that you?"

Deiwahi is more composed.

asked in a deep voice.

"Haha, that's me. I'll tell you the details later. I'm going to save Gaara now. Which direction did they go?"

Minato scratched his head in embarrassment, if he had known he would have informed him earlier.

Now it's time for everyone to be surprised.

Iwaki also knew the importance of Gaara, but he was more worried about Uzumaki Naruto.

"The Yondaime Hokage, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Naruto and another Yōnin are missing."

Minato shook his head: "I have already rescued them. If there is an emergency, and you are not here, I will not notify you."

"So you don't have to worry about Naruto's safety."

"Besides, Konoha's barrier has been released. Reinforcements should be arriving soon. Now the only problem left is Gaara."

Deiwasi immediately told Minato the direction they were leaving.

Minato was a little on the ground and moved away quickly.

The three of them exhaled when they saw Namikaze Minato's retreating back.

No matter what, as long as nothing goes wrong with the jinchūriki.

Everything else is not a problem.

And with the Yondaime Hokage chasing him, it was even more certain.

Just as the three of them were discussing why the Fourth Hokage was resurrected.

Sasuke was beside him and already knew everything.

Namikaze Minato is his mentor, Shingo Ikeda!

When Namikaze Minato flew over, he used the Flying Thunder God mark on Sasuke.

Sasuke had suspected before that their teacher's teleportation technique was too fast.

Now that I think about it, that's not a teleportation technique at all.

But the art of Flying Thunder God!

He knows the Rasengan and Chidori, his teleportation technique is very fast, and he is very powerful.

And Shingo Ikeda's face is at least 80% similar to Minato Namikaze.

When the three people in Class 7 went out with the teacher, they stayed with the teacher day and night.

Sasuke would definitely not admit that feeling.

After hearing that Naruto had been rescued, Sasuke finally relaxed.

But after that, Sasuke fell into greater doubts.

Why……

Why did the Fourth Hokage become their teacher?

…

Wuwei sped up as he approached his destination.

In a short period of time, he got rid of several Anbu who were hanging far away in Konoha.

But he knew it wouldn't be long before he was caught up.

He grabbed Gaara and ran to the caravan parked on the outskirts of Konoha in the Kusanagi Village.

The leader of the caravan also came over immediately to join him.

Wuwei immediately threw Gaara to the ground.

And said to the leader of the caravan:

"The plan worked, there are four tails behind me! Send the signal!"

"yes!"

The leader of the caravan fired a flare into the sky immediately after hearing this.

Blue fireworks exploded in the sky.

The grass in the distance flickered, and it turned out to be a team of forty people disguised.

The three elders led by the horse, cow, and monkey.

In addition to the elder of the sheep head who was in charge of the Ghost Lantern City, the three elders of the Kusa no Shi were all present.

The team of more than forty people below was all the assets of their Kusa no Shi.

So many people escorted the Paradise Box all the way here.

They were just afraid that the people of Konoha would find out, so these people were on the periphery.

Now after seeing the signal.

All rushed to the caravan.

The Anbu of Konoha caught up and saw the flare in the sky.

The hearts of several people sank.

They knew what the flare meant.

The four of them were outside now and didn't know the situation in Konoha.

In other words, they didn't know if they had reinforcements.

Or whether they could wait for reinforcements.

Among the four people, the leader was called Keijo, and he raised his hand.

The three teammates behind him all stopped.

He took out a pair of binoculars from his body.

He kept adjusting the focus and looking into the distance.

When he saw the Kusagakure Village team of more than 40 people, Keijo's heart tightened.

"The other side has 40 reinforcements, we can't go up."

"What should we do, Captain?"

The one who spoke was the youngest among them, a Chunin who was not even 16 years old.

Dobira Tsubasa.

Among ordinary people, he is considered a talented teenager.

Keijo said in a deep voice: "The current situation in Konoha is unclear, and there are too many enemies."

"Now we need someone to go back and report the situation here and request support."
