"To think it's a granary of Iwagakure! Senior Lin Yu, you're truly amazing!"
Namikaze Minato's eyes sparkled as he looked at Lin Yu. He knew Senior Lin Yu wouldn't have brought him out randomly!
There must have been a reason, and unexpectedly, it led to the discovery of a crucial granary. If they could burn it or seize it, it would greatly slow down Iwagakure's offensive tempo!
Senior Lin Yu really wasn't just idly doing things!
Minato's fair cheeks flushed with shame. He had actually thought Senior Lin Yu was just bored. That was his mistake! Next time, he had to trust his senior one hundred percent!
"Senior Lin Yu, what should we do next? Should we secretly burn the granary or notify Jiraiya-sensei to request backup?"
Minato, lying under the shade of a tree, stared intently at the granary before him. His large blue eyes had already transformed the granary into war merits. He was one step closer to his dream!
What should they do?
Lin Yu didn't answer Minato, his hands stuffed into his pockets… well, he didn't seem to have pockets.
Lin Yu lightly rolled up the sleeves of his ninja attire and, to Minato's stunned gaze, walked into the granary ahead, shouting loudly:
"From now on, this place is called the Lin Yu Granary! All personnel, stand out!"
Minato:… Why does Senior Lin Yu feel a bit strange?
Minato felt a bit uneasy. This was an important granary for Iwagakure, surely guarded by at least a hundred Iwa-nin. Senior Lin Yu just… walked in?
Minato looked helpless, but he could only follow. He wasn't the type to betray his comrade!
"Who dares to be so presumptuous here!"
"It's Leaf ninja! Quickly, surround and eliminate them!"
"How audacious! Two brats dare to sneak in here!"
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yu and Minato were surrounded.
Minato gulped as he looked at the dense Iwa-nin surrounding them. Could they still get out alive? However, he had a contingency. He had left a specially made kunai in the outer area, allowing him to escape at any time.
But what about Senior Lin Yu? He hadn't fully mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique yet, and couldn't use it to transport others.
Lin Yu glanced at Minato, seeming to sense his thoughts. He smiled and said to him, "Don't worry about me. If the situation becomes critical, you should retreat first…"
"How could I be that kind of person! Senior Lin Yu, don't worry, I'll take you out with me!"
Minato interrupted Lin Yu, as if to say he shouldn't misunderstand him. He, Minato, would not abandon his comrade!
Lin Yu said irritably, "Alright, alright, let me finish. If the situation becomes critical, you should retreat first. But that situation probably won't happen~"
Minato's eyes widened, "Really… Sumimasen!"
The surrounding Iwa-nin, overhearing Lin Yu's conversation, were furious. Damn it! Who were they looking down on!
"Brat! Are you two joking? You expect to leave here safely?"
"Hmph! That's a pipe dream!"
"I know that blond brat. He's a disciple of Jiraiya, the commander of the Leaf's front lines. Capture him and force the Leaf to retreat!"
A leader ninja, seemingly in charge of this granary, stepped forward and said, "Please, honored guests, come inside. Don't worry, we won't kill you as long as you cooperate."
"Lord Iwao, no need to be so polite. Just capture them and interrogate them harshly to extract all of the Leaf's intelligence!"
Iwao's expression turned cold, "You've all heard. My brothers won't show any mercy. You guys…"
"Stop, stop, stop! Let me interrupt. Who has the key to the granary?"
Lin Yu couldn't help it. Why were they so long-winded? Did they have to "shout" before a fight according to the normal procedure?
"I have it. What? You intend to snatch it?" Iwao looked somewhat bewildered, but then his expression turned playful.
"Hahaha! What are these two brats saying? They actually want to occupy our granary?"
"Pfft! Maybe they haven't woken up yet and are sleepwalking here!"
Lin Yu realized he was wrong. He shouldn't have said so much to these guys whose heads were full of rocks.
"Minato, when you fight enemies in the future, don't talk so much nonsense, or your outcome will be like theirs!"
"Huh?"
Before Minato could understand why, he saw Lin Yu's aura change, golden magic circles appearing in his eyes, with wisps of white and blue flames flickering. Was this the Mangekyo Sharingan Senior Lin Yu had told him about!
As Lin Yu took a step forward, a golden chakra surged from him, rapidly intensifying and condensing into a skeletal upper body. This wasn't the end. Lin Yu, relying on his Sage Body, frantically expended his Mangekyo's ocular power. The skeletal Susano'o was once again covered with flesh.
Lin Yu took another step forward, his golden chakra surging, as if dyed. The golden chakra condensed into a half-body samurai armor covering his flesh and blood. The helmet closed, and two streaks of white and blue flames appeared in his pupils.
It was a shame that Lin Yu's exclusive Susano'o weapon hadn't manifested. It was the katana hanging at his waist, and with only the half-body, it was hard to display it properly. If the position was wrong, it would be awkward!
"What… what is this thing!" Iwao felt the sky suddenly darken. The towering golden figure seemed to blot out the sky. Not only that, but Iwao seemed to recall something, finding the golden figure before him somewhat familiar… This was the black-robed person who appeared on the battlefield in the Land of Rain four years ago!
"You! You're that black-robed person?!" Iwao couldn't believe it! How was this possible? How could the black-robed person be this brat? How old was he four years ago, ten? Or nine?
"Oh? You noticed?"
Lin Yu wasn't surprised. It was normal for him to make such an association. This was also why he was reluctant to use his Mangekyo before. Exposure should only be to the dead!
Now, as his strength grew, Lin Yu could gradually reveal some information to those around him. Of course, this was after Lin Yu's careful consideration, such as with the little sun, Minato.
Lin Yu stopped talking nonsense, "Yasakani no Magatama!"
As Lin Yu willed it, the white and blue flames in the golden Susano'o's eyes flared, condensing a string of golden Yasakani no Magatama in the void, accompanied by wisps of black flames.
The towering Susano'o caught the Yasakani no Magatama and forcefully hurled it into the midst of the Iwa-nin. The golden Yasakani no Magatama transformed into countless magatama with black flames, like a Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu, shooting towards the Iwa-nin.
Puff, puff, puff!
Faced with such dense magatama, the numerous Iwa-nin present could not dodge them. In an instant, their bodies were pierced, and blood splattered!
"Quickly use Earth Style defense!" Iwao shouted.
"Earth Style: Earth Wall!"
The Earth Wall, released by numerous Iwa-nin together, was tens of feet high and its thickness was even greater than Lin Yu's thick skin.
For a moment, the Yasakani no Magatama couldn't break through the earth wall. It wasn't that Yasakani no Magatama was too weak, but Lin Yu had divided it into countless small magatama. The power was greatly diminished compared to the complete one, but the attack range was vast.
Lin Yu's eyes were indifferent. He clasped his hands together, and the golden Susano'o enveloping him also clasped its hands together.
"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"
