Chapter 146 Minato's Confidence
Danzo was truly a good partner to Shiba Kiyokawa, a diligent and hardworking brick that would be moved wherever needed.
"The Dark Ninja's forces are extremely elite, and we paid a huge price to obtain this intelligence, so we deserve compensation."
Shiba Kiyokawa spoke with a straight face.
Huang Tu looked constipated as he listened.
Loess: Man, what can I say?
Unable to find a rebuttal, the tongue-tied Huang Tu could only compromise in the end.
"We will all stay behind to help you defend it. I can also give you the three towns around the mine. Reinforcements are on their way."
As for the further assistance you requested, I must consult my father.
Shiba Kiyokawa nodded with a smile, accepting everything.
Although it wasn't perfect, it was still a win.
He expressed his satisfaction with this.
The scheme has succeeded, so the next step is to return to the duel between kunai and ninjutsu!
Rewinding slightly in time, to the front lines of Konoha—
Shinnosuke Sarutobi is indignantly tattling to Minato Namikaze.
"While our previous defeat was partly due to insufficient preparation, the behavior of some ninja clans was simply outrageous! They have completely betrayed the Will of Fire!"
However, Minato Namikaze calmly interrupted him.
"Stop talking, Shinnosuke-san, they didn't betray us."
They just lack confidence in their ability to win. I will give them that confidence!
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's words were interrupted. He looked up in slight surprise, only to see Namikaze Minato pat him on the shoulder and then walk away with a determined back.
At that moment, he seemed to understand why the frontline ninjas always called Minato Namikaze "the sun."
This commander's style is indeed different from other commanders.
He wasn't as strict and fair as Orochimaru, nor as bold and domineering as Jiraiya, but his confidence always warmed and encouraged everyone around him unintentionally.
Minato Namikaze wasn't naive enough to be unaware of Konoha's problems; on the contrary, he was well aware of the various situations that were currently unfolding on the front lines.
But he rarely criticizes; he only patiently offers encouragement again and again.
"It's okay, I'll handle it!"
"It's okay, I'll handle it!"
"Don't be too harsh on them, I will give them confidence!"
That's the charm of Minato Namikaze! He's always confident!
Moreover, they can always live up to their confidence!
Now, there is no front-line commander in the entire ninja world who is more diligent and personally participates in more battles than him.
No wonder Jiraiya once proudly said: Any excellent ninja would pale in comparison to Minato Namikaze.
At this moment, the entire Hidden Leaf Village was unaware of the hidden danger—the sun, being too dazzling, would one day be extinguished, which would be a devastating blow to those accustomed to sunlight!
Unfortunately, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who was a staff member, was completely unaware of this at the time.
On the contrary, because of Minato Namikaze's words just now, he also vaguely began to have some impulse to praise the sun.
Soon after, Minato Namikaze arrived at a location not far from the Akatsuki's defensive line.
Just five days ago, he was in the Land of Frost, fighting fiercely against the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee from the Hidden Cloud Village. But now, he has already begun scouting enemy positions in the southern part of the Land of Grass with a Hyuga clan ninja.
This unparalleled mobility is precisely what enabled him to single-handedly withstand the enormous chaos in the north!
Throughout the north, the combined forces of Iwagakure and Kumogakure have almost three times the number of ninjas as Konoha.
Not to mention that various small, opportunistic ninja villages like Kusagakure and Takigakure were also secretly contributing their efforts.
Unfortunately, just as Huang Tu said before: if Minato Namikaze is out of sight of intelligence for three days in good condition, everyone on the entire front must be on high alert and on tenterhooks!
In this situation, even with a three-fold numerical advantage, they still faced significant difficulties and made slow progress.
"Were you badly attacked by the Akatsuki before?" Minato Namikaze asked casually.
The Hyuga clan ninja who was assisting with the reconnaissance replied with shame.
"I'm very sorry, we did not anticipate the enemy's attack at the time."
Those Rain Ninja launched an attack on the battle line from multiple positions simultaneously, and even used unknown methods to relocate their main force. We...we were completely outmaneuvered.
"yes……"
Even after hearing such a statement, Minato Namikaze still did not criticize him.
"It's not your fault. I also bear responsibility for not anticipating Akatsuki's attack."
"No! Lord Minato, how can this be blamed on you?"
Minato Namikaze raised his hand to interrupt him, saying, "I am the frontline commander, so this is naturally my responsibility."
However, we can learn from this method of attack used by the enemy.
"Now it's our turn to attack. We won't let Xiao play so easily again."
He then looked at the Hyuga clan ninja beside him, "Go back and ask your clan elders: Do you still believe in me, Minato Namikaze?"
From beginning to end, Minato Namikaze never uttered a single word of blame towards the Hyuga clan.
But at that moment, the Hyuga clan ninja beside him was so excited that his blood was boiling.
"We have always believed in you, Lord Minato! Even if it means defying the orders of the main family elders, we will still follow you this time!"
In fact, the elders of the main family were not fools; of course, they would not issue such a stupid order.
Therefore, the problems that Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't solve even after gritting his teeth and breaking his head were easily resolved by Namikaze Minato in just a few words.
This is the personal charisma of Minato Namikaze!
This is also the most difficult test that Shiba Kiyokawa will face next!
Two more days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Shiba Kiyokawa stared at the map, constantly preparing and planning to become famous.
"Have all the outposts along the supply line been built?"
Have the reinforcements promised by Iwagakure arrived yet?
The work of filling in the lines will now be entirely handed over to Iwagakure, since they have plenty of genin there!
Our troops are ready for rotation and are prepared to provide support at any time!
In the past two days, Minato Namikaze has still not appeared in the intelligence field of any village.
Neither Iwagakure nor Kumogakure could find him.
At this point, Shiba Kiyokawa could basically abandon his last bit of hope—this time he couldn't escape and was destined to face Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique!
Once again, he will face his destiny!
The waiting time is the hardest to endure.
Fortunately, the mines they had previously occupied have resumed production.
The new person in charge has replaced the deceased mine owner's family and taken over the management of the site. They are now continuously mining resources for the Akatsuki organization.
Looking at the bigger picture, time is still on the side of the Land of Rain!
Until that evening—
The anticipated test finally arrived before nightfall!
"Our defenses have been attacked! Konoha has replicated our previous tactics and launched surprise attacks from multiple directions simultaneously!"
Furthermore, the Iwagakure ninja guarding the line reported: "The Konoha ninjas on every attack direction are carrying Minato's ninja love kunai!"
At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa couldn't help but smile wryly.
It's surprising that Minato Namikaze, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also steal tactics, and he learned them quite quickly.
