Chapter 41 - New mission

*swoosh swoosh*

The sound of wind passing by continued as a group of 4 young ninja ran to their destination at top speed.

"Are we there yet, are we?"

They had been running nonstop for a while now but there was no sign tiredness in the eyes of this hot blooded ninja in the jumper suit.

"Ugh! Can you quiet down yet and focus"

Another ninja with the lower half of his face hidden mask commented in a tired tone.

"Haha sure sure as you say Kakashi"

The ninja in the jumper suit smiled and winked at Kakashi while running at top speed.

Kakashi decided to just ignore the dumb Guy and sped up catching up with Rei who was running ahead following Minato.

"Haha."

Laughed Rei lightly as he looked at Kakashi.

"Stop enjoying this." Kakashi commented as he looked at Rei

"Sure sure as you say Kakashi." Rei laughed as he mimicked Guy.

*Tch*

Kakashi decided to just ignore the two as he continued running.

"Okay okay I will stop" Rei said appeasing the annoyed Kakashi

"Anyways I think we are getting close."

At his words Kakashi focused ahead and Guy also turned serious clenching his first.

It was the first mission for the new team seven.

They were about to go the battlefield filled with fights and death so all of them had been a bit tensed from the start, it seems like they fooled around a bit just to ease this tension.

Even for Rei and Kakashi this was their first proper mission since the last time all the work was handled by Minato.

But this didn't mean they were afraid, although they were tensed their eyes were clearly looked forward to see the fruits of their training.

"We are here, everyone focus." Minato said as he slowed while surveying the surroundings.

...

Minato walked forward passing through the long grass and trees into a clearing.

"Minato namikaze, hidden leaf jounin here to support the 12th squad."

Minato announced as was about to reach a clearing.

"Ugh! Thank the ancestors, Fuck i thought it was an enemy."

As they reached the clearing they could see a group ninjas with kunais and bomb tags in their hands ready to attack.

They visibly relaxed after confirming the hidden leaf bands on their heads.

The squad leader a man his mid thirtees came forward to greet the supporting squad.

"Aren't you guys a little too late, also what is with these kids? are you telling me this is all the support that was sent from the village even though we specified the number of enemies clearly."

The squad leader looked at the team of kids in annoyance as he spoke.

"Well you should know how bad the situation with manpower is right now in our village."

Minato spoke not wavering a bit in front of the old man.

"Tch! Well good don't blame us when they die like dogs."

The squad leader clicked his tounge in annoyance as he walked backed to his group.

"Anyways little genius come here I will brief you on the situation."

The leader went back to where is teammates were sitting and gestured for Minato to follow.

Kakashi, Guy and Rei looked the exchange silently and followed behind Minato.

The leader sat down as he introduced his teammates they were all chounin around the age of 20.

Minato also introduced his team of young genins.

Although the 12th squad members looked at the kids skeptically they had looks of respect as they looked at Minato, it looked like they were aware of who he was.

After the introductions he began to brief them about their mission.

"According to our intel there are 16 enemies

They had more but it looks like some of them died in skirmishes with our ninja while gathering intel, although most of them are chunin level, 2 of them are pretty strong and are at jounin level, our mission is to stop them from retreating with the intel they have gathered.

In short the mission objective is to annihilate the enemy throughly."

The leader looked at Minato dead in the eyes as he said those words with a serious face.

It was given that he was so serious given the size of the enemy compared to them.

Even if Minato and him could handle the jounins one on one the task still looked impossible as they could not allow a single ninja to leave and they didn't have much time remaining for more reinforcements to arrive since the enemy territory was very close.

They had to attack right now if they wanted to succeed in this mission.
