Capítulo 42: Face off with Konoha Geniuses
"How is it? Do you guys see him" Nawaki asked to Hyuga twins who were using Byakugan to search through?
"No, I don't see any sign of a person yet. Hizashi, how about you?" Elder of twin asked his little brother.
"I also don't see anyone here too, brother," Hiashi answered.
"Damn, that spy sure knows how to run. It's been 3 days and we haven't seen a glimpse of him. Just where the hell is he? We should have brought Inuzuka or Aburame clan kids too. They are the experts in tracking." Nawaki angrily complained.
"It's useless to say now. How disgraceful that shinobi is complaining because the mission is not going in his way." Fugaku said to Nawaki.
"What did you say?" Nawaki got angry.
Soon those two started to bickering each other. Seeing dispute is getting worse, Minato and others stepped out and relieved the fight.
"*Sigh* Why do I have to be with these troublesome guys. They literally fight every hour." Shikaku commented.
"haha, well they are Senju and Uchiha. So that is expected." Minato said while showing his bright smile.
Like this, a group of Konoha geniuses spent another 2 days searching and finally found several traces of a spy.
--------------------------------------------
Three days of constant running, we finally got out of Iwa land and entered Konoha land for the first time in our life. Since we are no longer in Iwa land, I ordered the squad to proceed with caution.
I commanded Kimiko to use her sensor abilities every 5 minutes. Since this was our first time as Konoha's land, I didn't know well about Konoha's border patrol schedules. Therefore, slowing down our speed was definitely necessary.
Kitsuchi was quite impatient as we have slowed down our speed ever since we entered Konoha land. He was afraid that the spy would get caught and the mission is failed. He kept requesting me to speed up.
"Come on, Genji. With this our current speed, I am sure our spy will get caught by Konoha even before we reach him. Let's speed up!" Kitsuchi asked me over and over again.
"Hey, when I say no, that means no. Hehehe, how dare mere Genin challenge Chunin and his team leader's authority!
-10 points from your performance.
If you gonna keep asking that stupid request again, I will deem you fail in your performance." I said to Kitsuchi.
Seeing his performance score deducted and threaten by me, Kitsuchi immediately shut himself.
----
After 2 days of more running, we found the place with sign of battle. We immediately stopped and inspected the place.
"It seems like the battle happened not long ago. This tree is burned but it still warm." Gari told me after inspecting.
"Was it our spy that fought Konoha shinobi here? I hope it's not the case." Kitsuchi asked with a worrying face.
"It's been five days. We are taking the route our spy is using to escape to Iwagakure. By now we should be meeting with our spy.
But since that is not the case, I am afraid our spy has been caught up by Konoha pursuers and probably fought here.
Currently, either they already captured our spy or our spy is running like a dog from them." I explained to others.
"Kimiko, I want you to use your sensing ability to the max. Since the battle is still fresh, I am sure they haven't gone too far. We can't just go back after wasting 5 days to come here, right." I ordered Kimiko.
Kimiko closed her eyes and used her sensing power as furthest she could.
"I found them 5km south from us. 8 people are chasing one person," Kimiko told us.
"Check if they have Jounin level chakra reserve or not," I asked to Kimiko again.
"No, all chasers have only Chunin or Genin level chakra reserves," Kimiko reported.
I was worried that there were eight enemies but after hearing that they were just Chunins and Genin, I just smirked. It seems like I was worried for nothing.
Since they are just weaklings, I ordered everyone to save our spy asap.
------------
(Nawaki and Konoha geniuses team)
After finding the trace of the spy, relying on twin's Byakugan, they managed to find him easily.
Although they wanted to catch him with surprise, their plan failed thanks to Nawaki who triggered a bell alarm set up by the spy.
Fugaku immediately used Uchiha's most used jutsu, Fire Style: Fire Ball jutsu at spy. But spy used Earth Style: Earth Wall jutsu and blocked fireball.
Soon 8 Konoha geniuses surrounded and started to attack on him. Seeing he was in a very disadvantage, he used a smoke bomb to escape. Although he successfully escaped, he got stabbed by kunai thrown by Minato at the last moment and slowed him down gradually.
Konoha 8 geniuses chased spy by following the blood trails. Hyuga twin didn't use their Byakugan as it is extremely consuming to use. They already over-used their Byakugan to search the spy. They wanted to save their chakra as much as they could.
No matter how fast the spy was, he was running injured and eventually couldn't run anymore due to blood loss.
Fugaku smirked seeing spy gave up himself. He threw a few shuriken at spy's legs to make sure he can't run.
But out of nowhere, anther set of Kunai came out and blocked the shurikens to protect the spy. This shocked both Konoha geniuses and the spy.
A few seconds later, Genji and his squad appeared in front of Konoha geniuses.
-----------------------
(MC POV)
Me and my squad showed ourselves to Konoha pursuers with full of confidence.
Gari, Gin, Kan, and Kitsuchi showed smug faces seeing Konoha pursuers were a bunch of kids just like them, while Kimiko went up to the spy to bandage him.
Me on the other hand, was beyond shocked to see who Konoha pursuers were. I thought I was just seeing things and asked the system to confirm who they were.
System: "Host is not wrong. They are Nawaki Senju, Fugaku Uchiha, Hyuga Haishi, Hyuga Hizashi, Shikaku Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka, Choza Akimichi and Minato Namikaze."
As expected, they were fathers of Naruto generation kids. I was most shocked to see Minato among them.
'What the fuck are they doing here? Aren't they basically pillars of the next Konoha generation? Are they on their own?'
While I was on my thought, Nawaki questioned us.
"Who are you guys? Why are you stopping us?"
"You idiot, Isn't it obvious. They are Iwa shinobi sent to escort their spy safely." Fugaku said.
"What? So you are our enemies?!! Then we have to beat the crap out of you too." Nawaki confidently said.
We just looked at Nawaki as he was clown.
'Wait, did this Senju kid say, he will beat us? He is just Chunin level and saying he will beat elite Jounin level like me??'
The more I thought about it, the more laughable it was. Soon all of us couldn't contain ourselves and laughed at Nawaki. Nawaki got angry and tried to dash to us, but soon stopped by Shikaku.
"Don't be impulsive, we don't know their strength yet. They plan to make you lose your cool." Shikaku tried to calm down Nawaki.
Meanwhile, I used hand language to Kimiko to check if they were other shinobi around us, but Kimiko replying there was really no one except us.
'There is really no one around to protect them? What the fuck? Hiruzen, were you this dumb? Or is this an opportunity given by heaven to me?
hehehehehehe, since heaven blessed me with this chance, I will not waste this valuable opportunity. I will capture all of them and bring them to Iwa as war prisoners and get profit from compensation. I will leave their fates to Onoki after bringing them to Iwagakure.
Since there is Senju kid, I am sure Konoha will compensate whatever it takes to bring back these kids.
I won't kill them. The reason is simple, I don't get any benefit. How can I get rewarded if I kill them here?
Onoki doesn't know the future strength of these kids, so he will just think we killed some nameless Chunins and Genins.
Onoki will probably just praise us for a bit and leave at that.
But as for Minato, he has to die. He will be the most formidable one among them. I don't care if he is Naruto dad or not. I value my life more. Also since I am an Iwa shinobi, I can't let future danger go, can I?'
After planning my next step, I started to give out orders.
"Guys, they are the so-called geniuses of Konoha. If we capture and bring them to Iwa, I am sure Tsuchikage-sama will reward us heavily.
Listen up. Do not kill that Brown-haired and shot Dark-haired kid if you can. They both Senju and Uchiha kids.
Also, kill that blonde hair kid no matter what." I ordered.
"Eh? Why are you so insist on killing that blondie?" Kitsuchi asked me.
"Don't question your superior.
Gari, you take down those Hyuga twins.
Kan and Kitsuchi will take on that three lazy-tall stick-fat trio.
Gin and Kimiko, you two take our spy to somewhere safe and protect him.
I will deal with Senju, Uchiha, and blond kid myself."
"""Okay!""" My squad answered.
"Bring it on! I will beat you up for looking down on us." Nawaki shouted.
Thus the battle between Strong Geniuses vs Weak Geniuses began.
(A/N: I hope you guys don't complain about Minato and Konoha kids' power level is low compared to Genji and his squad. They only trained inside their clan buildings until now while Genji and others trained, experiencing the war.)
