Volume 1 Chapter 472: The task of cutting off the rear should be given to those who need it
Such rendezvous missions are usually accompanied by the outbreak of fierce fighting.
There is always a chance that the enemy will arrive before you meet the mission target.
Landing steadily on a raised rock, Maruboshi Kosuke did not approach easily.
The wrinkled and old face looked at Qianyue who was standing in front of him. He needed to confirm the identities of Qianyue and the other two first.
"Senior is one step faster than I thought."
Taking out the mission scroll given by Tsunade, Qianyue held up the scroll, and in front of Maruboshi Kosuke, used Konoha's special method to open the code seal on the scroll and opened the scroll.
The defensiveness in Maruboshi Kosuke's eyes disappeared.
After confirming his identity, Maruboshi Kosuke breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are Tsunade-chan's friend, Chizuki Yagami, right?"
Given his age and status, it is not an exaggeration to call Tsunade "Little Tsunade", after all, his age is there.
Most of the ninjas in Konoha are his descendants.
Little Tsunade...
It seems like it has been a long time since I heard this kind of address from others. If Tsunade knew about this, the expression on her face would definitely be very interesting.
The corners of his mouth twitched twice, Qianyue put away the scroll and changed the subject:
"Senior, this is not the place to talk. Let's go back to the Land of Fire first. The Kusagakure Village seems to have fallen in line with the Rock Village."
"You are right."
Maruboshi Kosuke, who had a kind smile on his face, turned serious:
"There are still many people from the Iwagakure who are tracking me. Let's leave first."
"I'll cover you."
Minato took the initiative to take on the task of covering the rear.
Qianyue rejected him:
"Ye Cang will cover the rear, we don't need you yet."
Although Chizuki was happy to see Minato causing trouble for the people of the Iwagakure, it would be more appropriate for Ye Cang to be the one to cover their retreat.
Besides, Yekura needs some contribution, which will help her integrate into Konoha.
She was the last one to leave?
Minato blinked in confusion, but Chitose had already turned and left, so Minato expressed his feelings to the wrong person.
“........”
Not long after the three left, a large number of Iwagakure ninja troops caught up with them.
Faced with dozens of pursuers, including two senior ninjas leading the team, Ye Cang did not give the other side time to react and directly launched his strongest attack, carrying out indiscriminate bombing.
The ninjas of the Iwagakure were tracking down Maruboshi Kosuke, but they didn't expect fireballs to fall from the sky and fly towards them.
"boom!!!"
Under certain circumstances, the powerful lethality of Scorch Release is beyond imagination.
The ninjas of the Iwagakure were blown to pieces, some were injured and some were killed. Unintentionally, Ye Cang gave the ninjas of the Iwagakure a big gift.
"Scorch Escape, Ye Cang!!!"
After suffering heavy casualties, the people of Iwagakure finally realized who attacked them and caused them heavy casualties.
Standing on the tree trunk, Ye Cang took a calm look at the terrible consequences he had caused, and left without looking back.
Her mission was simple, which was to cover the retreat.
There are many types of rearguard action. The usual rearguard action is to delay the enemy, block the enemy, and make it impossible for the enemy to pursue. This is also considered a type of rearguard action.
More than half of the people were killed or injured in the explosion. Even if the people of the Iwagakure were stubborn, they did not have the courage to continue the pursuit.
The deterrent power brought by Ye Cang is enough to stop ordinary ninjas.
After doing all this, Ye Cang left without looking back.
Qianyue and the other two were not traveling very fast, and soon Ye Cang caught up with them.
Qianyue turned around and asked, "What's the situation?"
"A squadron led by a jonin, without an elite jonin, has suffered more than half casualties, so they probably won't continue the pursuit."
After thinking about it, Ye Cang answered.
Qianyue smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Well done, I'm afraid the enemy's brain is still buzzing now."
Dozens of people chased the enemy, but were caught off guard by an enemy ambush halfway. More than half of them were killed or wounded in the first encounter. No one could accept this result.
Unfortunately, there was no elite jonin to lead the team, so these people didn't even have the courage to chase Ye Cang.
If you want to pursue Ye Cang, you will risk the annihilation of your entire army.
Ye Cang is not a soft persimmon.
"Hahaha......."
Minato burst out laughing, and the harmonious atmosphere made Marushi Kosuke smile as well.
Ye Cang, who was following Qianyue, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and it can be seen that she was in a good mood.
The topic shifted to the Iwagakure.
Chizuki couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic towards Oonoki.
"Speaking of which, Ohnoki is really hardworking. Without a suitable successor, he has been nailed to the throne of Tsuchikage for so many years. It is really difficult for him."
Compared to the Third Hokage and his generation, Ohnoki is much older, but you have to admit that Ohnoki is the kind of person who becomes more and more evil as he gets older.
It’s a pity that his advanced age still limits Ohnoki’s ability to display his strength.
However, since he couldn't find a suitable successor, Ohnoki could only grit his teeth and hold on.
Minato tilted his head in confusion: "The military strength of the Iwagakure is strong, there are many strong people, and many ninjas have the ability to stand on their own. Why do you say there is no suitable successor?"
There are many opinions on this issue from the outside world.
Some people think that Ōnoki is an ambitious person who has been clinging to the throne of Tsuchikage and is unwilling to give it up.
Some people think that Ohnoki is secretly training a suitable successor.
Some people also think that Ōnoki will pass the position to his son Huangtu at the appropriate time.
Compared to other candidates, Huang Tu is not only powerful, but also the son of Tsuchikage, and this identity can add a lot of points.
“Hehehe…”
The old and wise Maruboshi Kosuke said with a smile:
"It's not that the Iwagakure can't find a suitable successor, but Ōnoki's requirements are relatively high."
"How high?"
This kind of talk has never been spread outside. Not to mention Minato, even Ye Cang was a little curious.
Little guy, do you know?
Maruboshi Kosuke looked at Qianyue with a smile.
What an old man, since you have already started talking, you should just continue talking. Why do you have to bring me into this?
Qianyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Ohnoki is very ambitious. He hopes to train someone who can control Dust Release to take his place. However, his idea is destined to be difficult to realize."
“........”
This is crazy!
Training someone who can control Dust Escape to take over my position is probably just a dream.
“Ahem.”
Minato looked strange:
"I think it makes sense that Ohnoki can't find a successor. That's asking too much."
Ye Cang simply didn't want to talk.
Maruboshi Kosuke was still smiling happily.
Facts have proved that what Minato said was right. In the original work, until the end of the Fourth Ninja War, there was no second person who could master Dust Release to step forward to replace Ohnoki.
"Fortunately, we in Konoha don't have a rule that if you want to become a Hokage, you must master Wood Release, otherwise it will be a big problem."
Thinking of Konoha, Minato couldn't help but complain.
