Chapter 86 Decapitation Operation
"Twenty minutes—"
Sakumo Hatake secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.
They rushed from Konoha to the front lines and also helped them evacuate. No wonder the Third Hokage felt comfortable sending such a genius to the battlefield.
Given the Flying Thunder God's mobility, there is virtually no danger to his life should he not be hindered or ambushed.
Having such highly mobile support is undoubtedly good news for the rapidly changing situation on the front lines.
But this also means that the village has only just received the distress call, and it will take at least several hours for reinforcements to arrive at the front line.
Given the current disparity in numbers between the two sides, whether we continue with small-scale battles as before or engage in head-on combat, the outcome will be the same.
"Given the current situation, it's unlikely we can hold out until reinforcements arrive. We'll have to ask other camps for help first. But if nothing unexpected happens, Sunagakure won't just launch an attack from this direction. The pressure on the Land of Rivers is probably no less than ours."
Sakumo Hatake frowned deeply.
"Don't we have any spies in Sunagakure? Why is it that such a big operation hasn't sent back a single message?"
""
The water gate remains unsolved.
Sakumo Hatake shook his head: "We did receive news that the Sunagakure army was gathering at the border, but their supplies were still on their way, and with the obstruction of Amegakure, no one expected them to launch a forced attack at this time."
Minato thought for a moment: "While I can't move too many people, I can take a few high-level fighters with me. Do you need me to make the trip?"
"No."
Sakumo Hatake pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "There are too many enemies. Unlike the small-scale battles before, this time it's an entire ninja army. In this situation, one or two high-level combatants won't be of much use."
"We have the interference of Amegakure on our side. Sunagakure has already broken through to this point. I'm afraid that war has already broken out in the Land of Rivers. The Land of Rivers has a long battle line and a large area with a sparse population, so there are many troops stationed there, but I'm afraid they will have little spare capacity to support us."
As he spoke, he paused slightly, his gaze gradually hardening.
"Um--"
"I plan to carry out a decapitation strike!"
After saying that, he looked at Minato with a hint of probing in his eyes: "However, we will need your help. With the Flying Thunder God Technique, even if the decapitation fails, we can still create some chaos."
"That's possible, but who's the target? The Third Kazekage?" Minato asked.
"No, the Third Kazekage is not currently on the front lines. The current commander-in-chief on the front lines of the Rain Country battlefield is Ebizo, a high-ranking advisor from Sunagakure. When the reconnaissance team received news of the invasion, the enemy was holding Hanzo back."
"The one in charge of leading the attack on us is very likely the leader of the group that just surrounded us. His name is Haku, and he is one of the top puppeteers in Sunagakure."
"Team leader?"
Recalling the Sand Ninja he had just casually dealt with, Minato suddenly fell into deep thought: "Do you have a photo?"
Upon hearing this, Sakumo Hatake led Minato into the tent that was temporarily serving as a command post and ordered someone to fetch a portrait of Haku.
The appearance of high-ranking political figures in various countries is not a secret, especially during wartime; anyone with even a little bit of fame will be listed on the black market.
Looking at the portrait before him, Minato's expression was complicated: "This person—attacked me while I was retrieving kunai, and I killed him."
"???"
Sakumo Hatake paused for two seconds, then asked, "Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
"My memory is still excellent, and I only killed him."
Minato nodded. With the immense Yin Release power brought by the Mangekyou Sharingan, his memory was so strong that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he could remember everything he saw.
"How did you kill him?"
Seeing Minato nod, Hatake Sakumo was immediately stunned!
"It's just—instantly appearing and killing."
Minato was also somewhat speechless, finding it difficult to describe his battle situation in detail.
Dodge past them, deliver a slash, or smash them with a ball.
What's there to say?
It was precisely because of this unreasonable fighting style that he was unable to judge the strength of his enemies.
Because whether it's a Jonin or a Genin, whether it's the result or the process, it's all the same to him!
I never expected that the Sand Village ninja I casually killed would actually be a high-ranking combatant.
Sakumo Hatake was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed. He looked at Minato, his tone full of disbelief and a hint of speechlessness: "If this gets out, Sunagakure will lose all face."
"Just lucky."
Minato smiled shyly, maintaining his usual humble demeanor: "They probably underestimated me because I'm young."
"There is no luck on the battlefield. You don't need to be modest. If I were in Hack's shoes, I wouldn't hold back at all."
Sakumo Hatake shook his head, his smile fading, and looked at the map on the table.
"Hack is dead. There will be a brief period of chaos in the Sand Village's frontline command system, but this chaos won't last long."
"The Sand Village's attack is from three directions. Haku's team is attacking from the front, gradually encircling the camp by constantly attacking isolated squads. It seems they are certain that we will not abandon the front line."
"Although Hack is dead, the plan should have been set long ago and won't be easily changed unless the leaders of the other two directions are also eliminated."
"Nomaru, how far is the nearest one from us?"
Sakumo Hatake looked at the Yamanaka clan member in charge of sensing.
The other person, wearing a device that enhances their senses, solemnly replied, "Twenty-five kilometers to the north!"
For a ninja, this distance is practically face-to-face.
Sakumo Hatake looked at Minato: "How quickly can you get here?"
Minato rested his hand on Sakumo Hatake's arm: "Now we can."
""
Before the words were even finished, the two figures vanished from the tent in an instant.
The next moment, they found themselves atop a desolate mountain, where rain drizzled and the sun was nowhere to be seen.
"On the way here, I specially sent a clone to mark the area. It is about eight kilometers away from the location sensed by the senior in the mountains."
Minato spoke calmly, as if he had only done something insignificant: "However, I am also a sensory ninja, so you don't need to worry, senior."
Upon hearing this, Sakumo Hatake gave Minato a deep look.
Having lived in the same village, he had naturally heard of Minato Namikaze's name.
Wood Release: Flying Thunder God Technique.
In addition, his humble and composed personality, and his proactive approach to planning ahead—
This child's future is so bright it could blind him!
Thinking of this, he made a silent vow: even if he died, Minato could not be allowed to have any problems.
While the Flying Thunder God Technique boasts exceptional mobility, some of its enemies are skilled puppeteers adept at using poison.
Although they wanted to use Minato's Flying Thunder God technique to relieve the predicament of the front-line camp.
But it's no exaggeration to say that even if all the lives on the front lines were combined, they wouldn't be as valuable as Minato's life!
"Let's go."
Without saying a word, Hatake Sakumo moved forward silently, like a cheetah.
