[Bonus Chapter]
"Rock Shinobi arrived so quickly? Are they chasing after us?" Yoichi frowned.
"Even though they've just been through a battle, even with the soldier pills restoring their chakra, they're only back to seventy percent."
Moreover, what Mina said seemed like there were two elite squads, with seven people, three of whom had chakra levels similar to his, and even one exceeding his.
In the ninja world, only Senju Hashirama could compare chakra levels with an Uchiha. As each promotion of the Sharingan would significantly increase one's chakra levels.
"Kakashi, Mina. If there's a chance to escape later, let's meet up at the last base," Yoichi initially wanted Kakashi and Mina to escape separately. But splitting up would be too risky, and the opponents would also split up to pursue.
As Yoichi spoke, he could already see the enemies Mina mentioned.
They were fast, and the surging lightning on their bodies was very familiar to Yoichi.
Boom!
A burly figure leaped from a hill dozens of meters away, then landed heavily not far from Yoichi, angrily shouting, "You're the Uchiha who stole our Cloud Shinobi secret technique, pretending to be a Cloud Shinobi to assassinate the minister of the Land of Grass. Today, you're doomed!"
Sizzle!
The lightning around this burly ninja seemed to reflect his anger, but Yoichi, who had trained in the Lightning Style Chakra Mode, knew that this was the manifestation when the lightning chakra flowed to its maximum.
In this state, speed, defense, and strength would all be pushed to the limit, but the body would endure significant pain. Seeing the burly ninja's indifferent expression, it seemed he was accustomed to this level of lightning chakra flow.
"Cloud Shinobi Village, huh?" Yoichi saw this person and quickly thought of ways to escape. But after thinking about it, he could only rely on his superpower's "Random Summon."
"Your intelligence network in the Cloud Shinobi Village is quite impressive. I've only left the village for less than half a month, and you already know about me. Moreover, being able to obtain information circulating within Konoha, it seems you've lost at least one high-level spy." While speaking, Yoichi also signaled to Kakashi and Mina behind him.
Upon seeing this, both understood and continued refining their chakra, gathering it in their limbs, and preparing to escape at Yoichi's signal.
Ai sneered, "What high-level spy? It's your Leaf Village that voluntarily gave us the information. Uchiha, it seems you also have enemies in your village. Such a trash village that calculates against each other is far inferior to our Cloud Shinobi."
The ninja beside Ai reminded him, "Lord Ai, the enemy is trying to deceive you!"
"What can a dead man deceive? I just haven't figured out how to kill him yet."
As Ai said this, Yoichi suddenly reached out, then loudly exclaimed, "Call from another world, Summon!"
A purple and enormous summoning array instantly appeared on the ground in front of Yoichi, followed by a thunderous roar, darkening the sky.
"Run!" After calling forth the summon, Yoichi directly signaled Kakashi and Mina.
This time, he didn't need to check the psychic roulette; he knew he had summoned a terrifying creature. The oppressive aura made even breathing a luxury.
Kakashi also reacted, learning from Yoichi, using Lightning Style Chakra to enhance cell activity, pushing his speed to the limit.
"Roar!"
The deafening roar made Yoichi feel like his head was about to explode. Then he felt an irresistible violent gust behind him, directly lifting him into the air, unable to control his body.
As he flew around in the air, Yoichi reluctantly opened his eyes to see what kind of monster he had summoned.
Three heads, enormous wings that blocked out the sky, and a body that reached into the clouds. It was hard to see the full appearance of this giant beast at a glance.
Seeing this, Yoichi had no other thoughts in his mind except one: run!
After crashing heavily onto the ground, Yoichi picked up Mina and ran towards the distance again.
At this point, he could only hope that the people from the Cloud Shinobi Village could help delay some time for him.

"Yoichi-sama, are you awake?"
When Yoichi opened his eyes, he heard a familiar and gentle voice beside him—it was Uzumaki Mina.
Before losing consciousness, Yoichi could still recall his memories. He remembered running carrying Mina for about several dozen kilometers and then collapsing near Sancho Town due to exhaustion.
At that time, Yoichi still had consciousness, but when he saw Kakashi staggering over, he relaxed and passed out.
Now it seemed Mina had taken good care of him and hadn't left him while he was unconscious, genuinely wanting to join the Uchiha clan.
"Did you feed me your blood?" Yoichi checked his body and found that his meridians and muscles seemed unharmed, and he didn't feel excessive chakra depletion.
"Yoichi-sama saved me; a little blood is nothing," Mina replied, bowing her head.
At this moment, Kakashi's voice came from the other side of the curtain, "Thank you, Mina-san, for saving me too. When we return, I'll prepare a generous gift to express my gratitude."
Mina timely pulled back the curtain, revealing Kakashi lying on the bed beside him, reading a novel. However, his condition seemed worse than Yoichi's, with many bandages wrapped around him.
After all, Kakashi's body wasn't as tough as Yoichi's. Being blown away by the violent wind, falling to the ground, and still being able to run away with consciousness was already quite good.
Seeing the curtain pulled back, Kakashi put down the book, his face slightly solemn as he asked,
"Captain, what was that monster?"
"That was..." Yoichi opened the psychic roulette and saw a recorded beast under "Random Summon."
[King Ghidorah]: Known as the "Number Zero Monster," it descended to Earth in ancient times, an invasive species from Venus, one of the Alpha-class Titans, the archenemy of the legendary Godzilla.
(Note: This is a newly awakened Ghidorah, and it's a bit temperamental.)
"A randomly summoned monster, not that important. But, Kakashi, you should remember what those Cloud Shinobi said, right? Our information has been leaked."
Yoichi's face grew slightly cold as he continued, "After the mission, mention this to your father, and I'll report it to the clan."
"Yeah, I understand, Captain," Kakashi said calmly.
Almost dying in a B-rank mission, if it was due to insufficient strength and failing the mission, he had nothing to say. But if someone in the village deliberately caused their deaths, no one would easily swallow that!

"A, how are you feeling?"
In the Cloud Village's hospital, a ninja wrapped in bandages and connected to dozens of monitors slowly woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his father, the Third Raikage, but it took him a moment to remember why he was lying there.
"Father, where are the others?"
The Third Raikage spoke gravely, "Only you returned through the Heavenly Transfer Technique. I've already dispatched scout ninjas, but there's no news yet. Who did you encounter? What happened?"
"Father, we found that Uchiha, but before we could act, the bastard summoned a beast, something like a Tailed Beast."
"It had three heads, about three times the size of the Eight-Tails. But when that monster spread its wings, it might have been ten times the size of the Eight-Tails. It could emit lightning attacks almost as powerful as the Tailed Beast Bomb. I initially thought to stop the three-headed monster, but its strength was overwhelming."
Hearing this, the Third Raikage understood what had happened.
A creature three times the size of the Eight-Tails, with formidable attack power, and wingspan ten times that of the Eight-Tails. Such size was beyond the Third Raikage's imagination.
For the Cloud Village, an Eight-Tails rampage was a disaster. Alone, the Third Raikage could barely subdue the Eight-Tails, and it took many Cloud ninjas to cut off one of its horns.
Without sealing techniques, A stood no chance against the Eight-Tails, let alone a creature more powerful.
"A, rest and recover for now. As for Osai and the others, I'll have the Anbu find them."
After speaking, the Third Raikage left. This incident was truly a disgrace for the Cloud Village, losing three Jonin and a ninja with space-time techniques.
If something happened to the ninja with space-time techniques, the Cloud Village would have to change their logistics in case of war.
Thinking this, the Third Raikage suddenly wondered if they had been tricked by Konoha.
Was the intel deliberately sent to calculate against the Cloud Village? And the monster A mentioned needed thorough investigation. Its strength was at least equal to, if not greater than, the Eight-Tails. If Konoha controlled such a monster, they would need to devise countermeasures for future wars against Konoha.

"Yoichi-kun, you're back. How did the mission go?"
As the tea was served, Kenji smiled and asked. Yoichi visiting right after returning to the village indicated that something unexpected must have happened during the mission.
"The wisdom of the Second Elder truly surpasses others. Without me saying anything, you've already guessed my thoughts."
Yoichi didn't beat around the bush, "There were two incidents during the mission. The first is that I brought back Uzumaki Mina."
"Uzumaki?"
Kenji paused for a moment, then his eyes turned into three tomoe, his expression becoming serious as he looked at Mina.
"Her chakra is quite unique, and it seems she has more than our Uchiha clan. It appears she indeed belongs to the Uzumaki clan. I heard that the Whirlpool Country disappeared amidst the war, and the surviving Uzumaki clan members have been hiding across the ninja world. Yoichi, do you plan to settle her in the village?"
"No, Second Elder, she will join the Uchiha clan and become a member of my squad!"
Yoichi shook his head, "Mina doesn't want to join Konoha, and her abilities are very special. She will be a great help to me in the future. I hope the Second Elder can help train her. Mina's abilities, if nurtured, are rare across the ninja world."
"Is that so?"
Kenji paused, rarely seeing Yoichi this serious. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, Yoichi-kun, if there's anything you need, you can speak directly to Shoji. Whether it's ninja guidance or various techniques, anything I have, just ask."
"Another thing, Kakashi and I were betrayed by someone from our village during this mission. They informed the Cloud Village of my departure, leading to us being pursued by Cloud ninjas on our return, led by the Third Raikage's son, A."
Kenji's expression turned grave, "Yoichi-kun, are you sure?"
Yoichi calmly said, "The Cloud ninja believed we were doomed, so they revealed everything. However, I had some means of escape and barely survived. Kakashi also experienced this, and Konoha's White Fang should already be aware."
"Yoichi, since you've brought this to me, you must have a plan, let's hear it."
"Danzo must have erased all evidence linking to him, making it difficult to trace back to him. And with the Root acting in secrecy, waiting for a chance to retaliate is unlikely. But what about the Shimura clan, Second Elder?"
Hearing this, Kenji smiled and said, "You already know about Danzo's Root. I can roughly guess the extent of its development by now. But to train so many people, village funding alone won't suffice, after all, Root isn't the Anbu."
"Is the Shimura clan gathering funds for Danzo? Providing finances to train Root ninjas?"
Yoichi asked, seeing Kenji's affirmative expression confirming his thoughts.
Training ninjas quickly is expensive, requiring secret medicines, ninja tools, medical supplies, etc. Root's training methods differ from regular ninja schools, aiming to quickly produce combat-ready ninjas, thus incurring higher costs.
The village has many expenses and couldn't allocate much funding to Root, often leaving Danzo to gather funds himself.
"Correct."
"If Second Elder is willing to help me, I'll lead this matter."
"In the Warring States period, the heads of the Shimura clan had to apologize to our Uchiha clan, yet in the village, they act above us. Uchiha is not to be trifled with, and combating criminals, guarding against spies is also the duty of the police force."
"I understand, Second Elder!"
"This matter, I'll have Shoji cooperate with you, lead the way."
Kenji spoke, the Uchiha clan had compromised too much externally, causing most clan members to forget the prestige the Uchiha once held.
During the Warring States period, employing the Uchiha meant the opposing side had to hire the Senju, otherwise, they couldn't cope.
Though the Uchiha were defeated by the Senju, they weren't to be stepped on by just anyone. For clans like the Shimura, daring to act out could lead to their annihilation the next day.
"Thank you, Second Elder. I'll arrange for Mina first, then I'll visit Shoji at the police force."
After finishing, Yoichi prepared to leave. However, he paused on his way out to remind, "Second Elder, remember to eat the mutton early; it should taste good."
After leaving, it took a moment for Kenji to shake his head and then call his daughter-in-law Rie, "Rie, let's eat the mutton Yoichi-kun brought tonight."
