"Lin Yu, should I pack this dress or this slip dress? Ah! Should I also bring my pajamas!"
In Lin Yu's home, Kushina was rummaging through the wardrobe, her cute face filled with excitement. It was her first time leaving the village since coming to Konoha! The time she was kidnapped didn't count!
Lin Yu smiled wryly, "Kushina, we're going on a mission, not a vacation. Just bring your usual equipment."
That's right, after an afternoon of motivational talks to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Lin Yu finally got him to agree to form a small team led by Lin Yu to head to the Land of Grass battlefield. This was also because he had a rough understanding of Lin Yu's strength, otherwise, he would never have agreed.
"Oh, right, we have a mission. Sorry, Lin Yu, I got too excited and forgot." Kushina stuck out her tongue at Lin Yu and started organizing her things.
"But... besides the mission, it's okay to see the customs and traditions of other countries."
"Hooray! Lin Yu, you're the best! Are it just the two of us?"
"Uh... Mei is also coming, she's our teammate too."
Kushina let out an "Owooo!" and pounced, creating a beautiful scene.
...
Ninja Academy.
"Teacher Lin Yu, are you leaving today?" Obito asked with a look of extreme disappointment, almost making Lin Yu think he wouldn't be coming back!
Lin Yu ruffled Obito's hair fiercely and said, "It's just a mission! I'm not not coming back, why so pessimistic!"
Obito took two steps back, dodging Lin Yu's playful grasp, and said, "Aren't I worried about you, teacher? Many of our Uchiha clansmen died in the war."
As he spoke, a hint of sadness crossed Obito's face. He didn't even know what his parents looked like, as they had passed away when he was young, and he had only been taken care of by his grandmother.
Lin Yu stepped forward, pulled Obito's goggles up to his forehead, and grinned at him, "Don't worry, your teacher is very strong, I won't abandon you all."
Obito's face turned red, and he quickly ran to stand between Rin and Kakashi, saying, "It's getting late, teacher, you should leave quickly."
Rin Nohara smiled gently at Lin Yu, "Teacher, please return as soon as possible. Obito seems to have a good impression of you!"
"Obito! What are you talking about! I'm just concerned about the teacher! I'm going to be Hokage, I have to be loyal to the village..."
"Tch! Dead last!"
"Kakashi! You're making me so angry, I'm going to duel you!"
Lin Yu saw Obito's neck puffing up in anger, and coughed twice to interrupt them, "After I leave, don't slack off on your training. I'll be checking when I return, and if anyone isn't up to par, I won't go easy on them."
Lin Yu taught them all the C-rank and B-rank ninjutsu he knew, hoping they would grow faster. He only had two years.
Kakashi's voice, muffled by his mask, sounded quite relaxed, "Don't worry, teacher, I'll supervise Obito."
"Kakashi! Why should you supervise me? Aren't we all not proficient yet?"
Kakashi shrugged, "Sorry, Obito, I accidentally learned another one yesterday. Let me see, in about a month or so, I'll have mastered them all!"
Obito was furious, "Damn it! I won't lose to you, Rin! Let's go train together!"
Rin Nohara looked at the time and said with some difficulty, "Obito... we still have class to attend."
Obito: ...Damn it, no wonder Kakashi wants to graduate early. I have to work twice as hard to graduate early too!
...
After bidding farewell to the three children, Lin Yu walked out of the Ninja Academy. Improving Obito and the others' strength was intentional on Lin Yu's part. Kakashi's determination to graduate early could no longer be stopped, so he could only make Obito and the others catch up faster.
In addition, through training, their bonds would also deepen. As for Might Guy, it wasn't that Lin Yu forgot him, but that he wasn't suitable to teach Might Guy. The path of the "Guy Emperor" needed to be walked step by step by himself (brainwashed by Might Dai).
At the main gate of Konoha, Mei and Kushina had already arrived. One red and one black, the two had their own charms. Kushina was lively and cute, while Mei was as gentle as water.
Lin Yu waved at them, "Good morning, did you guys arrive so early? Want to grab some breakfast together?"
"Lin Yu!"
Kushina and Mei called out in unison, then looked at each other, and with their slender legs, they walked towards Lin Yu from either side.
A fragrance wafted over.
Lin Yu felt as if the environment had changed. The scent on his right was sweet, and the scent on his left was elegant and faint. This! This couldn't be an Infinite Tsukuyomi, could it!
"Lin Yu, what time is it! It's long past the agreed time, Mei and I both thought you fell into a ditch!" Kushina put her hands on her hips, clearly distressed by Lin Yu's poor sense of time.
Mei also cast a reproachful glance at Lin Yu. Making beautiful women wait was not a gentlemanly thing to do.
Lin Yu scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. How could he be blamed for this? Without a watch, how was he supposed to know the time?
If Lin Yu knew that Orochimaru could tell the time just by looking at the sky, he would definitely complain: As expected of a local ninja!
"Let's go! We're heading to the Land of Grass!"
"Yay!"
Lin Yu waved his hand grandly, and the two girls cheered excitedly, making the Konoha guards standing nearby look dumbfounded. If Lin Yu hadn't said they were going to the Land of Grass, he would have thought they were going on vacation!
Good heavens, going on a mission with two beauties, this little red-haired brat is quite lucky!
Under the envious gazes of the unknown gatekeepers, Lin Yu and the two women set off side by side...
...
In a town in the Land of Grass.
Boom!
The wall was blasted through, and several battered figures flew out of the house, falling to the ground. Then, a blond-haired young man walked out with a furious expression, cradling a red-haired girl. However, the girl was not in good condition, seemingly running a high fever.
"You... will pay for this!" The blond-haired young man was Minato Namikaze. After two years of battlefield training, he had deeply understood the cruelty of war and had personally witnessed countless civilians displaced by it.
Minato Namikaze had zero tolerance for ninja who bullied civilians and never showed mercy!
"Damn it! Who are you? Why are you meddling in our business!"
The few Grass ninja lying on the ground struggled to get up, fumbled for kunai from their bodies, and surrounded Minato Namikaze.
"As ninja, you commit such beastly acts against civilians! You deserve to die!"
Minato Namikaze glanced at the number of people surrounding him. He didn't take out a kunai, but mentally counted.
A Grass ninja spoke up, "Kid, that woman is ours to buy, do we need your permission to do anything to her?"
"That's right, her chakra is very enticing, a bite can heal injuries."
"Kid, hand her over quickly, or you won't be able to leave here!"
Minato Namikaze's face was cold, and he didn't answer. He gently put down the girl in his arms and muttered to himself, "Four surrounding me, three more in the shadows, a total of seven people. It will only take 1.25 seconds."
"Kid, what are you talking about?"
Whoosh!
Seven special kunai flew towards different locations, with high accuracy but not speed, and were easily dodged by the Grass ninja. Someone immediately mocked, "Kid, is this your kunai-throwing jutsu? Such a slow..."
Whoosh!
Before he could finish speaking, a line of blood flowed from the Grass ninja's neck. At the same time, the other six Grass ninja also fell to the ground, all killed with a single blow.
Minato Namikaze's figure reappeared in sight, but he was now sweating profusely, his chakra severely depleted. He forced himself to stay standing.
No, I can't fall, their reinforcements will be here soon, I have to get back quickly... and her injuries need treatment.
Minato Namikaze picked up the girl again, swayed slightly, but managed to stabilize himself. Damn it! It was still too much of a strain to use this jutsu now. A few more years, and it wouldn't be so reckless. (It's a pity the girl didn't see me show off, what a miscalculation!)
"Quick! There's movement over there, go check it out!"
Minato Namikaze's ears twitched. He heard footsteps, more than one group of people. He discerned the direction and, after a few leaps, disappeared down the street. He needed to rendezvous with his teacher, Jiraiya.
By the way, the incomplete Flying Thunder God Technique he just used should be named: "Swift as Lightning, Uncatchable as a Thief, Ding-a-ling-a-ling Style!"
