章 41: Chapter 41 Getting The Favorabiliy of Two People At The Same Time

While they're still speaking, the group of Kumogakure's Shinobi has rushed into Uzumaki Kushina's house.

Sōseki showed grave expression, "Damn, we can't catch up!"

"Haha, don't worry." Asuma showing an expression of taking pleasure in other people's misfortune, "Those Kumogakure's Shinobi are miserable. I heard that old fogey say that the strength of that big sister is super..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a few black-clothed Shinobi walking out with a red-haired girl.

Asuma: "???"

Feeling Sōseki's strange gaze, Asuma quickly explained, "I see, this must be a deliberate disguise by the red-haired big sister. She must want to follow this line and catch all of the spies at once."

Sōseki shook his head slightly. If he guessed correctly, most of the current Uzumaki Kushina's strength should be used to suppressed the Kyūbi.

After all, Uzumaki Mito was too old when she transferred the seal, and although the strength Sandaime and the others are strong, their mastery in Fūinjutsu still can't compare to the Uzumaki Clan.

The most important thing is that the one sealed in Uzumaki Kushina is a complete Kyūbi, which makes the strength of the seal in Uzumaki Kushina's body not even comparable to that of the future Naruto.

In order to prevent Kyūbi from breaking through the seal, Uzumaki Kushina did not dare to use chakra at all, so that she did not dare to resist when she was caught by these weakling trash Shinobi.

It can be said that those Kumogakure's Shinobi are on the verge of death without even realizing it.

'So, in this world, good people are always easy to be bullied.' Sōseki sighed in his heart, and Asuma, who was beside him, also realized that something was wrong.

The big sister fell down several times in the middle, and was dragged by those Kumogakure's Shinobi roughly on the ground with a rope.

'Even if you want to act, you don't need to work so hard, right?'

"Not good, Sōseki, that big sister may have really been caught, let's hurry up and save her now!"

"Wait, don't be impulsive. Don't forget that they have a hostage in their hands now!"

Thinking of this, Asuma immediately panicked, "What should we do? Damn it, if I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have stayed silent, and just arrest these people directly. Even if I arrest them wrongly, they can scold me at most."

"Don't blame yourself too much. After all, two countries are involved. Without evidence, the higher-ups will not directly arrest people."

"But, it's too late to go back and find someone now!"

Sōseki said with a calm voice, "Don't worry, there is still a way."

Hearing Sōseki's words, Asuma calmed down and asked, "Tell me, Sōseki, what should we do?"

Sōseki narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Let's continue to follow them. When they reach Konoha's border, that means they are only one step away from success, and that should be their most relaxed moment. Then, we will cooperate to take back the hostages immediately!"

Hearing this, Asuma couldn't help but asked, "But, what if they didn't relax? "

Sōseki helplessly said, "In that case, I can only try to shock their spirits with Genjutsu. Although I am very confident in my Genjutsu, the enemy is a Shinobi after all, so I am not sure whether it will succeed."

"It must succeed!" Asuma said depressedly, "I haven't returned even after so late, can't that old fogey hurry up and peep at me? Damn it, he must be trying to peek at others while I'm not at home."

Unlike Asuma, who is deeply worried, Sōseki didn't even look worried from the very beginning Everything at the moment was within his expectations, even though the other protagonist of this show has not yet appeared yet.

'For a thing like favorability, it's better to get it from two people at once than just one person, so don't let me down, Namikaze Minato-senpai!'

Comparison to Namikaze Minato, Sōseki actually values Uzumaki Kushina...'s Fūinjutsu more, but Namikaze Minato also has the potential to develop into an excellent tool man.

Therefore, Sōseki naturally didn't want to miss such an opportunity to get their favorability at once.

"If Namikaze Minato takes action, I don't have to work hard. I just need to find the right time to gain what I wanted, but what if... he didn't arrive in time like in the original plot?"

Sōseki did not believe that the river of fate would be like a stagnant pool of water that would not be able to stir up even the slightest waves. Too much faith in the future he knew would only put him in a passive and disadvantageous position.

So, even if he participated in this known "future", he is still fully prepared. Before deliberately guiding Asuma, he has already figured out the other party's intention and strength in advance.

'After all, I have never said that an ordinary Chunin is beyond my scope. As a genius, it is reasonable to 'breakthrough' in battle, right?'

...

Under the cover of the night, the two followed the Kumogakure's Shinobi closely.

Asuma picked up a handful of soft red hair from the ground and said with a complicated complexion, "Sōseki, are these people really Shinobi?"

'That big sister removed her hair to create a trail, moreover, her red hair was as striking as fire in the dark, but this group of Shinobi didn't even notice a single thing.'

At first, he was also worried that this is Kumogakure's Shinobi trying to lure them to show up, but now it seems that this group of Shinobi is really weak!

Sōseki just stayed silent as he was also in disbelief as these Kumogakure's Shinobi are really careless!

After discovering this, Asuma asked eagerly, "Sōseki, shall we get closer?"

Sōseki was about to answer, but the chakra fluctuations in the distance caused him to lose his focus for a moment.

It was the chakra he had attached to Uzumaki Kushina's hair.

Although he is not a specialized Sensor Shinobi, but in this case, if someone picks up the hair that fell on the ground, he can still perceive the fluctuation of chakra.

"Namikaze Minato? It seems that we must hurry up and act. Otherwise, when he arrives, I will have nothing to do here!"

Thinking of this, Sōseki no longer hesitated, "Of course we have to get closer, and we also have to take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack!"

Hearing this, Asuma's eyes widened, "But, didn't you say before that we have to wait for them to get close to Konoha's border?"

Sōseki showed grave expression, and said solemnly, "I overlooked an important detail before. These Kumogakure's Shinobi may have arranged for manpower outside the barrier in advance. If a battle breaks out at the border, the Kumogakure's Shinobi outside the barrier might noticed and rushed into the barrier desperately. At that time, it would be too late for the adults in the village to receive the news."

"So, it's better for us to choose to attack where they are closer to the border, but the combat situation can't be noticed by the people outside the barrier."

"I understand." Asuma suddenly nodded in realization and praised, "As expected of Sōseki, you really thought it through."

"Well, wait for you to see complete my hand seals. Once I finish the hand seals, we will immediately grab that big sister back."

"Understood!"
