Surprising Enemy

He then thought, Ophis, if anyone approaches, alert me immediately.

"Got it, Xin." Ophis replied, the little white snake who had shrunk down to a small size in Xin's sealed space.

Though she appeared lazy, yawning as she lay there, she was actually keeping a close watch on their surroundings. Any sign of an enemy, and she would alert Xin right away.

And if he couldn't react in time, Ophis would jump out of the sealed space and join the fight.

"Any issues?" Xin soon caught up with Minato and Mikoto, his Teleport Jutsu far faster than theirs.

"No issues," Xin grinned.

"Just a squad of Jonin-they were taken care of in no time. When we get back, I'll have racked up quite a bit of merit."

"But it looks like the Third Kazekage might be on our tail, so we'd better pick up the pace- unless you guys want to face off against the so-called strongest Kazekage."

I swear, I'm going to kill you!

A Jonin squad, taken out in no time? Minato almost choked on his own spit, feeling an overwhelming urge to punch Xin.

Mikoto also looked exasperated, clearly irritated by Xin's casual boasting.

Luckily, Xin's mention of the Third Kazekage startled both of them into picking up speed -no one wanted to stick around to face the man known as the strongest Kazekage.

The fact that the Third Kazekage wasn't personally chasing them down was already a blessing -they wouldn't dare linger.

Seeing the two of them panic and speed up, Xin couldn't help but chuckle.

He wanted to tell them that even if the Third Kazekage did catch up, their squad could still

retreat safely. But Minato and Mikoto needed to learn not to rely on him for everything. Giving them a bit of a scare was probably a good thing.

"Hmph!"

When he found out the squad he had sent to pursue the enemy had been completely wiped out, the lead Jonin missing, the Third Kazekage's expression turned dark and dangerous.

The surrounding Sand Ninja held their breaths, terrified of drawing his ire.

They had gathered some basic information about the escort squad from the people at the camp.

Just three kids, and only at Chunin level.

Yet a squad led by a Jonin had been wiped out while chasing them down.

Anyone would find that hard to swallow.

If this information got back to Konoha, the Sand Village's plan to ambush Konoha would be completely ruined.

"Keep pursuing them! We can't let them get this information back to Konoha!" the Third Kazekage ordered, as a large cloud of iron sand gathered at his feet, lifting him into the air as he flew in the direction Xin and the others had fled.

"Xin, someone's chasing us from the sky!" Ophis's voice suddenly alerted Xin.

He paused for a moment before continuing to run, calling out to the panting Minato and Mikoto.

"Hey, did you know the Third Kazekage can dance?"
