Outside the east gate of Kirigakure.
Shisui arrived, leading five elite Root ninja. Among them was one from the Uchiha clan, while the rest were elites from the Inuzuka, Aburame, Yamanaka, and Hyuga clans — all sent by Danzo.
These ninja had successfully completed secret S-rank infiltration missions before, returning unscathed.
"We have only one mission: infiltrate Kiri, find Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, and bring them back." Shisui whispered to the Root ninja, "Remember this: although Yusuke Kamizuki has left the village to sign the peace treaty, we can't rule out the possibility of his return. If you see him, abandon the mission immediately and escape with all your might. Even I am no exception!"
Deep in his eyes, a look of profound wariness lingered.
"Yes!" Everyone behind him nodded in unison.
The plan to infiltrate Kirigakure had begun. Konoha ANBU and Root were operating simultaneously, infiltrating from various directions to carry out a sucessful rescue.
If even one squad successfully rescued Minato and Kushina, the mission would be considered a success.

At the border between the Land of Water and the Land of Fire, on a flat plain, stood the negotiation house. Its location was chosen to prevent ambushes; the flat terrain allowed visibility to the horizon, making it impossible to set up hidden attacks.
Yagura, Yusuke, and Kushina — who obediently followed behind — arrived in front of the negotiation house.
The Konoha delegation had also arrived. At the forefront was "Hiruzen Sarutobi" wearing the Hokage's cloak.
This was, of course, Orochimaru in disguise, using his eerie transformation technique. He was confident no one would see through his disguise — it was far more advanced than ordinary transformation techniques.
Behind Orochimaru were two ANBU members casually accompanying him, as well as a batch of sincere compensation materials.
As Yusuke observed Orochimaru's side, the same scrutiny was being applied to his own group.
'Yagura Karatachi, Yusuke Kamizuki, and a masked Kiri ANBU... This aura... there's no mistake. It's him in person.' Orochimaru could tell at a glance that Yusuke was present in the flesh, not a shadow clone.
Now, he just needed to buy time. The longer, the better.
"Let's go inside to discuss the details." Orochimaru said with a smile.
"Mm." Yagura nodded.
Everyone entered the house, and the delegations from both sides took their seats.
What followed was a tug-of-war discussion about compensation between Yagura and the disguised "Hiruzen" sitting opposite him.
Yusuke, who eyes were heavy with feigned drowsiness, leaned sideways on Kushina next to him. Using her as a pillow was just perfect — and comfortable too.
This scene made Orochimaru's eye twitch slightly, but on the surface, he continued discussing the "peace treaty" matters with the Mizukage.
Kushina was also struggling slightly. The slave collar on her neck had been continuously emitting electricity, preventing her from making any large movements.
Yusuke had to eliminate any possibility of her sending a distress signal to Konoha.
"Nngh..."
At this moment, Kushina suddenly made a strange sound.
After nearly ten minutes of continuous weak electric stimulation — and given that she was a woman who could only call upon extremely weak traces of chakra within her body throughout this journey — she was at her limit.
"Mizukage, it seems your subordinate has something to say?" Orochimaru tilted his head, looking at the masked "ANBU" with a slight frown.
"She might have a stomachache. I'll take her outside for a moment." Yusuke said leisurely, smiling, "Please, continue."
After saying this, he led Kushina out of the meeting house. Orochimaru's pupils contracted slightly, then he resumed his discussion with Yagura.
"Mmph... Mmm mmm..."
Yusuke brought her to the front of a clump of bushes. He glanced at the distant meeting house, then released her hands.
She immediately removed the mask from her face. Having been stifled for the entire journey, her face was already covered in sweat. The previous "whimpering" sounds had also come from her mouth.
Her mouth had been bound by him with a black silk bandage. Otherwise, she would have called for help long ago. After untying the black silk band, Kushina immediately began to cough violently.
"Cough cough cough..."
Then, she stared at Yusuke with a resentful and angry expression.
[ Ding! Kushina's inner anger has reached its peak! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20,000 Villain Points ]
