You TND were indeed acting!
"Let's go, or the research data might be destroyed later."
Yamanaka Kei curled his lip in disdain, filled with contempt for the Hidden Mist Village's pursuit of 'secrecy'.
The Mist Village was, after all, one of the five great ninja villages.
But its way of doing things always had an indescribable air of pettiness.
Take this Summoning Island, for example.
In name, it belonged to the Land of Sea.
But because of its geographical location, it was in the northeasternmost edge region, with only the endless sea to the east. The island was also full of wild beasts, making it impossible for ordinary people to survive normally, so the Land of Sea had long abandoned it.
According to normal logic, the island was full of large beasts that could be used as summons.
And the Mist Village had gone to great lengths to establish a research institute.
Then its value was at least worth the attention of the Hidden Mist's higher-ups.
Faced with such an important island, even if they were concerned about the Land of Sea's Daimyo and the Water Country's Daimyo being related, and it wasn't good to seize it by force.
But nominally cooperating and guarding the island shouldn't be a problem, right?
But what did the Mist Village do?
Relying on the remote shipping routes, unless someone deliberately searched for it, or, like Naruto going to Turtle Island in the original story, deliberately sailed around the distant sea to avoid the enemy's eyes, it was impossible to discover.
They only secretly spread rumors.
Using the nonsense that 'anyone who lands on the island will forget everything' and some low-level Genjutsu, they intimidated the residents of the surrounding sea islands not to approach the island.
Then they strictly ordered the Hidden Mist Ninja who knew about the island not to approach it unless necessary, reducing the chance of exposure.
They also hid the research institute in the dense forest and the volcano in the center of the island.
And they had a Jonin squad ready to destroy all the evidence and run away at any time.
This...
Was truly 'secrecy' for the sake of 'secrecy'!
Hmm...
Perhaps Madara Uchiha was secretly controlling everything, not wanting the Hidden Mist's power to grow too fast, so he handled it so casually?
A thought popped into Yamanaka Kei's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Otherwise, he really couldn't understand.
Why the Hidden Mist Village's higher-ups could be so brain-dead as to come up with such a stupid arrangement.
"Get ready, your first experience with the long-distance Flying Thunder God Technique will be a little uncomfortable."
Namikaze Minato frowned slightly when he heard that the enemy was destroying the research data.
Although Konoha had not conducted specialized summon research, the research value of this kind of thing was actually not low.
If they could obtain complete data, it would also be of considerable benefit to Konoha.
He placed a hand on Yamanaka Kei's shoulder.
Closing his eyes to lock onto the Flying Thunder God Kunai located in the research institute, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, following the spatial coordinates.
Whoosh!
Boom!
After a fleeting sensation of spatial distortion and being pulled away.
Namikaze Minato and Yamanaka Kei, who were standing in front of the research institute's gate, hadn't even found their footing when a violent explosion shook the entire volcano.
"Ying Na~!"
An extremely strange and ear-piercing beastial roar echoed.
An unknown power, mixed within that sound, rapidly spread throughout the entire island.
The many creatures on the island, already roaring and howling, venting their mania and fear, fell directly into madness under this inexplicable power.
Some fled, while others charged straight towards the volcano's location.
The entire island also began to tremble continuously with the rampage of these creatures.
"Crap! Hurry, hurry, hurry! Or your wife will be gone!"
Yamanaka Kei had just deployed a large-scale sensory ninjutsu.
Sensing the scene inside the research institute, he grabbed Minato and began to rapidly use the Body Flicker Technique.
Inside the research institute.
Several researchers were looking with fanaticism at the 'Ultimate Summoning Beast' that was gradually awakening from the cultivation tank, destroying the walls of the research institute with just a stretch.
That team of Hidden Mist Ninja, who were preparing to destroy all research data, also stopped their actions upon seeing this, and stood in place with equally expectant faces, leisurely sizing up the monster before them.
And Uzumaki Honoka, Yamanaka Kei's target for this trip, was forming hand seals with both hands, squatting in the center of a sealing formation with complex techniques, ready to use sealing techniques to bind that 'Ultimate Summoning Beast' at any time.
"Wife gone? You're really finding me a wife?"
Namikaze Minato was suddenly grabbed by the back of his collar and sprinted with, his body swaying in the wind under Yamanaka Kei's continuous Body Flicker Technique.
Hearing his best friend's words, he, who had always thought it was just a joke, was no longer calm.
Wait...
Didn't they come here to destroy the Hidden Mist's summoning beast research base?
Th-th-this, you're really finding me a wife!
Long red shawl hair, meticulously carved face, sexy and hot figure, gentle and soft personality like water...
Dare you say, Konoha people don't deceive Konoha people?
"Ying Na~! Ying Na!"
An even clearer, strange beastial roar, like a high-frequency sonic wave, vibrated Yamanaka Kei and Namikaze Minato's eardrums.
Immediately following, the miserable screams, exclamations, and cries for help of humans echoed!
Yamanaka Kei carried Namikaze Minato in one hand.
While hurrying, he reduced the original ten-kilometer diameter sensing range to only encompass the entire volcano.
With the power of perception highly concentrated.
Apart from being unable to perceive colors, the clarity of all people and objects within the sensing range instantly increased by several levels.
Maintaining a high-precision, small-range perception ninjutsu, he once again formed a hand seal with one hand.
Ninpō: Mind Transmission Body Technique!
The Yamanaka Clan's Yin Release secret technique, rapidly transmitted everything he perceived to Namikaze Minato.
The deformed monster using tentacles to roll up two researchers and stuff them into its mouth; the researchers who were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, already incontinent; the four ninjas using combination ninjutsu to attack the deformed monster; the girl who was desperately deploying Adamantine Sealing Chains, her brow furrowed.
Adamantine Sealing Chains?
A girl?!
Under the small-range, high-precision perception ability.
Namikaze Minato could even 'see' the girl's delicate and flawless skin, her slender and charming figure, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and her soft face with a hint of fear.
Could it be...
This Yamanaka Kei didn't trick him this time?!
Although he knew that this guy deliberately reduced the sensing range to let him 'see' more details.
But...
This guy actually, rarely, didn't trick him?
Could it be...
With his such terrible personality, how could he not trick him?
"Ying na!"
Another strange cry came.
In Yamanaka Kei's perception.
That so-called Ultimate Summoning Beast had already swallowed nearly half of the researchers.
The ninjutsu attacks of the four ninjas were also completely absorbed by it, and it even grew new deformed organs from them, and began to counterattack with ninjutsu of the corresponding attributes!
Except for the Jonin leading the team, who turned into a puddle of water after being hit to avoid the damage.
The remaining three ordinary ninjas, who were completely unprepared, lost their lives to this Ultimate Summoning Beast in one encounter!
"Save me~ Someone save me~"
A soft, weak female voice with a hint of crying appeared in the minds of Yamanaka Kei and Namikaze Minato.
The emotions filled with despair, fear, helplessness, and panic were also transmitted to their hearts.
Almost at the instant the voice fell.
Namikaze Minato, who was originally being held by Yamanaka Kei, straightened up and broke free from his grasp.
Immediately afterwards, with a Body Flicker Technique speed that was much faster than his, he disappeared into the tunnel in the blink of an eye.
"You son of a b*tch, you were really acting all this time!"
Yamanaka Kei hatefully raised his middle finger in the direction where Namikaze Minato disappeared!
Although he knew from several sparring sessions on the ship that even if Namikaze Minato didn't use the Flying Thunder God Technique, his Body Flicker Technique was still a bit faster than him.
But that speed just now, was that 'a bit'?
Damn it! (Damn it! )!
