Chapter 86 Why did the Hokage do this?!
"Besides, the Hyuga ninjas on the battlefield are mostly from the branch family, and they have all been sealed with the Caged Bird Seal, so there is no way for them to obtain the Byakugan."
Upon hearing Kyosuke's words, Kiichiro knew things were going to get complicated, so he could only say, "Then you shouldn't do this. Just focus on accumulating merit and building up your power. Once you control the two great ninja villages, we'll have everything we want."
At this moment, Mi Shou volunteered, saying, "Don't worry, leave this to me. There are so many bloodline limits in the ninja world. Let's find a few to study first, and then we can take on high-difficulty bloodline limits like the Sharingan when we have the opportunity in the future."
Ooka Shin reminded Yamori: "Tell me in advance if you encounter a strong enemy. I have been accompanying Nagato in his research on the Rinnegan, and I have gained a better understanding of it. With the support of the tailed beasts' chakra, we should be able to utilize some of the Rinnegan's combat power."
Including Mi Shou, the other four nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, we won't forget the Rinnegan when needed."
As the sun rose, Chisuke looked down to examine his wound.
After treatment by the medical ninja, the horrific wound on his chest has turned into a shallow scar.
The Five Elements Sealing Technique left behind by Orochimaru was completely destroyed through the combined efforts of Shukaku and the sealing team.
Sensuke, the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast, is about to make a dazzling appearance once again!
Following behind the Sand Ninja, Sensuke saw the Third Kazekage again.
On the surface, the Third Kazekage appeared to be in good condition, with no external injuries.
However, considering that the Third Kazekage was adept at concealing his injuries, Sensuke was unsure whether the Kazekage was injured, or how serious his injuries were.
Seeing Chisuke enter, Kazekage smiled gently: "Chisuke, you've come."
Sensuke stood ramrod straight and shouted, "Kazekage-sama, Jinchuriki Sensuke has fully recovered and requests to go into battle. I'm going to teach those stupid Konoha ninjas a lesson!"
Ah, Chisuke, he's still so loyal and reliable.
Choosing him to be my jinchūriki was the best thing I ever did.
Kazekage was very satisfied with Chisuke's attitude, and spoke even more kindly, leading Chisuke aside and pointing to the map hanging on the wall.
"Chisuke, look here, there's a mountain called Elephant Head Mountain, and on the mountain is a shrine—the Konoha Palace. Konoha's most important and convenient supply line passes by the foot of Elephant Head Mountain, and supply stations and warehouses have been built on the mountain."
"Your mission is to destroy the Konoha stronghold on the mountain, sabotage the surrounding roads, and attack Konoha's logistics forces as much as possible. This will greatly weaken Konoha's supply capabilities!"
After hearing the mission, Sensuke said without hesitation, "Everything for the Sand Village, I swear to complete the mission to the death!"
That decisive tone and attitude was practically a pledge to fight!
Seeing Chisuke so energetic, Kazekage seemed to be reminded of his own youth, those glorious days still vivid in his mind. So he couldn't help but pat Chisuke on the shoulder and offer some encouragement.
"Very good! Senju, the greatest fortune of Sand Village is having such an excellent ninja as you!"
Chisuke thought to himself, "Don't just give me verbal rewards. Give me something tangible, like promoting me to Jonin, making my teacher the next Kazekage, and giving me more money and more ninjutsu."
As a key node in the logistics line, Elephant Head Mountain will inevitably be heavily defended by Konoha, making this mission far from simple.
To ensure the mission's success, the Kazekage mobilized two elite squads to assist Chisuke's operations.
Privately, Fengying also assigned secret missions to the two teams.
"Chisuke is our perfect Jinchūriki. You must protect him with your lives. If you are trapped in a desperate situation and Chisuke has no hope of survival, you must kill him decisively. We cannot let him fall into the hands of Konoha!"
"Yes, Lord Kazekage!"
Both of these elite squads are Kazekage's direct subordinates, absolutely loyal, and will carry out Kazekage's orders without hesitation.
After secretly departing from the camp, Senju and his group spent two days bypassing the Konoha ninja's defenses, turning from the north to the southeast, and heading towards Elephant Head Mountain.
Along the way, they deliberately traveled through the most dangerous and uninhabited areas, preferring to spend more time rather than be discovered by the Konoha ninja patrols.
A few days later, just as they were about to reach Elephant Head Mountain, Kyosuke received some terrible news.
"Minato Namikaze's squad, depart tonight to enter the Land of Wind, harass the Sand Village's rear, cause as much damage as possible, and weaken the Sand Village's resolve to fight."
In the Konoha camp, the Hokage's voice was somewhat hoarse as he gave orders to Minato Namikaze's team.
In the past few days, in order to cover Sensuke's actions, the Kazekage launched a large-scale attack, putting heavy pressure on Konoha.
In one of his battles with the Kazekage, the Hokage was severely injured when iron sand invaded his body, causing him to appear unwell.
Of course, Fengying didn't fare any better. He not only suffered burns to both arms, but also multiple fractures to his sternum and was nearly killed.
The longer the war dragged on, the more anxious the Hokage became, fearing that other ninja villages would launch a surprise attack on Konoha. Therefore, he sent Minato Namikaze, who had performed the best in the past few days, to attack the Land of Wind, hoping to force the Kazekage to the negotiating table.
Originally, this mission had nothing to do with Kyosuke.
Although Kyosuke performed well, he was only a Chunin. Moreover, because Kosuke was disabled, he was sent back to Konoha to recuperate, leaving Kyosuke's team with only one Chunin and two Genin.
With such strength, sending them out would likely result in total annihilation; they would generally just follow the main force.
Unexpectedly, Minato Namikaze remembered Kyosuke at this moment.
"Lord Hokage, I request to add a member to my team, Uesugi Kyosuke. Although Uesugi Kyosuke is only a Chunin, I believe he can play a very important role. Please allow him to join my team temporarily."
When Minato Namikaze asked for someone, the Hokage thought it would be some elite Jonin, but it turned out to be Kyosuke Uesugi.
"Oh, Uesugi Kyosuke, you made the same request during the last mission to Loulan Kingdom. It seems you think highly of him."
Minato Namikaze smiled and reiterated his opinion: "I believe he will definitely become a great ninja in the future."
The Hokage nodded and agreed.
“During this time, Shikaku and the others have also praised Uesugi Kyosuke. It seems that he is indeed very outstanding. Alright, let him join your team for the time being.”
And so, Minato Namikaze found Kyosuke and told him the news.
Kyosuke was completely dumbfounded.
These past few days in his dreams, Kyosuke and Chisuke have been discussing and summarizing dozens of plans, perfecting every detail. Kyosuke was just waiting to perform on stage, but now, everything is gone.
Kyosuke's mentality exploded at that moment!
"How dare the Hokage do this! Did he even consult me?! He just transferred me out of the team! Now that Uncle Kosuke is injured, and Asuma and Shizune are only genin, the team needs me right now, I can't leave them!"
This time, Kyosuke's emotions were palpable—disappointment, grief, and dissatisfaction with the Hokage. It was all emotion, not acting.
Of course, the reasons for dissatisfaction are false. After all, given Asuma and Shizune's backgrounds, they wouldn't be easily used as cannon fodder, regardless of Kyosuke's presence.
"Kyosuke, I promised Kushina I would bring you back. And if you want to become Hokage, you have to contribute to Konoha."
Minato Namikaze still looked like a sunny older brother, with golden hair and a gentle smile. In Kyosuke's eyes, he seemed a little too dazzling, making Kyosuke look like a despicable villain.
Well, Kyosuke thought about his actions and realized that they were indeed not very gentlemanly.
Well, since he's not a gentleman, I'll go back and tell Kushina on him.
Minato Namikaze not only took me on dangerous missions, but also frequently teamed up with female ninjas. I wonder what the inside story is. Kushina has the right to know.
