Chapter 146 Minato's Confidence
Danzo is really a good partner of Shiba Kiyokawa. He is as diligent as a brick and will go wherever he is needed.
"The Shinobi Dark Force is very elite, and we paid a huge price to obtain this information, so we deserve compensation."
Shiba Kiyokawa said this in a serious tone.
Huang Tu looked constipated after hearing this.
Loess: Man, what can I say?
Huang Tu, who was not good at speaking, could not find any rebuttal and could only compromise in the end.
"All of us will stay to help you defend. I can also give you the three small towns around the mine. The follow-up reinforcements are on the way.
As for your request for further assistance, I must consult my father."
Shiba Kiyokawa nodded with a smile and accepted everything.
Although it is not perfect, it is already profitable.
He expressed his satisfaction with this.
The strategy part has been successful, so the next step is to return to the showdown between kunai and ninjutsu!
Going back a little in time, the front line of Konoha——
Sarutobi Shinnosuke was reporting to Namikaze Minato in indignation.
"Although our previous defeat was due to our lack of preparation, the performance of some ninjas was really too much! They have completely betrayed the Will of Fire!"
However, Minato Namikaze interrupted him calmly.
“Stop talking, Shinnosuke-san, they didn’t betray.
They just don't have enough confidence in winning, and next, I will give them confidence!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's speech was interrupted. He looked up in surprise, only to see Namikaze Minato patting his shoulder and then walking away firmly.
At that moment, he, who had not left the village for a long time, seemed to understand a little: why the front-line ninjas always called Minato Namikaze the sun.
This commander's style is indeed different from other commanders.
He is not as strict and fair as Orochimaru, nor as heroic and overbearing as Jiraiya, but his self-confidence always inadvertently warms and encourages everyone around him.
Minato Namikaze is not naive and does not know the problems in Konoha. On the contrary, he has always been aware of the various situations occurring on the front line.
But he rarely criticizes, he just patiently gives encouragement over and over again.
"It's okay, I'll take care of it!"
"It's okay, I'll take care of it!"
"Don't blame them, I will give them confidence!"
This is the charm of Minato Namikaze! He is always confident!
Moreover, you can always fulfill your confidence!
There is no other front-line commander in the entire ninja world who is more diligent and has personally fought more times than him.
No wonder Jiraiya once proudly said: Any outstanding ninja will pale in comparison to Minato Namikaze.
But at this moment, the entire Konoha was unaware of the hidden danger - the sun was too dazzling, and if it went out one day, it would be a devastating blow to those who were used to the sunshine!
It’s a pity that Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who was his aide, didn’t realize this at all at the time.
On the contrary, because of what Minato Namikaze just said, he vaguely began to have the urge to praise the sun.
Not long after, Minato Namikaze arrived not far from the Akatsuki's defense line.
It was clear that five days ago he was in the Frost Country, fighting fiercely with the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee of Kumogakure, but now, he has taken a ninja from the Hyuga clan to scout the enemy situation in the south of the Grass Country.
This unparalleled mobility is what enables him to handle the chaos in the north alone!
In the entire north, the combined number of ninjas from Iwagakure and Kumogakure is almost three times that of Konoha.
Not to mention that the various small ninja villages such as Kusagakure and Takigakure are also secretly making efforts.
But unfortunately, as Huangtu said before: once Minato Namikaze is out of the intelligence sight for three days in good condition, everyone on the entire front must be alert and worried!
In this situation, even with a three-fold advantage in numbers, they still had a hard time and progressed slowly. "Were you badly beaten by the Akatsuki organization's attack before?" Namikaze Minato asked casually.
The Hyuga clan ninja who was cooperating with the reconnaissance answered in shame upon hearing this.
"I'm very sorry, we did not anticipate the enemy's attack enough.
Those Rain Ninjas launched attacks on the battle line from multiple positions at the same time, and used unknown methods to shift the position of the main force in the middle. We...we were completely tricked."
"Yeah……"
Even after hearing such a statement, Minato Namikaze still did not blame him.
"It's not your fault. I am also responsible for not anticipating Akatsuki's attack."
"No! Minato-sama, how can this be blamed on you?"
Namikaze Minato raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "I am the commander on the front line, so this is naturally my responsibility.
However, we can learn from the enemy's attack method.
It's our turn to attack next time, and we will never let Xiao relax like that again."
Then he looked at the Hyuga clan ninja beside him and said, "Go back and ask the elder of your clan for me. Ask him: Are you still willing to believe in me, Minato Namikaze?"
From beginning to end, Minato Namikaze never said a word of blaming the Hyuga clan.
But at that moment, the Hyuga clan ninja beside him was so excited that his blood was boiling.
"We always believe in you, Master Minato! Even if we have to disobey the orders of the clan elders this time, we will follow you!"
In fact, the elder of the clan is not a fool, he certainly would not give such a stupid order.
Therefore, the problem that Sarutobi Shinnosuke could not solve even if he gritted his teeth and broke his head, was easily solved by Namikaze Minato with just two or three words.
This is the personal charm of Minato Namikaze!
This is also the most difficult test that Shiba Kiyokawa will face next!
Two more days passed in a flash.
Shiba Kiyokawa stared at the map, making preparations and plans all the time.
“Have all the outposts along the supply route been built?
Have the reinforcements promised by Iwagakure arrived?
The work of filling in the lines will now be handed over to Iwagakure, as they have a lot of Genin anyway!
Our troops are well rotated and ready to support at any time! "
In the past two days, Minato Namikaze has still not appeared in the intelligence vision of any village.
Iwagakure couldn't find him, and Kumogakure couldn't find him either.
At this point, Shiba Kiyokawa can basically give up his last bit of luck - he can't escape this time and is destined to face Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God!
Once again, he will face his destiny!
The waiting time is the most difficult.
Fortunately, the mine they had previously occupied has resumed production.
The new person in charge replaced the deceased mine owner and his family and took over all management work here. He is now continuously mining resources for the Akatsuki organization.
Looking at the overall situation, time is still on the side of the Rain Kingdom!
Until this evening -
The expected test finally arrived before nightfall!
"The defense line was attacked! Konoha copied our previous tactics and launched surprise attacks in multiple directions at the same time!
And the Iwagakure ninjas who are close to the defense line report: every Konoha ninja in the attacking direction is carrying Minato's Ninja Kunai!"
At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I didn't expect that a guy like Minato Namikaze with thick eyebrows and big eyes could actually steal tactics, and he learned it quite quickly.
