"Hey, Minato, when did you put the Flying Thunder God seal on me?"
(ShixT9: Ninja version of putting a tracker on your phone, dude is a red flag)
As the two searched for Haori's trace, Kushina suddenly remembered something and asked Minato.
"Uh, well…"
Yes, Minato hesitated in answering this question.
He seemed to see a hint of distrust in Kushina's eyes?
As if he had done something strange with the seal he left on her!
"No, not long ago, it was when we last met. It's just for precaution… in case something like this happens, I can find you quickly…" Minato quickly explained.
"Really?"
"Really."
This must be true.
It was true, wasn't it?
Although Minato's face involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat, huh, the temperature just went above freezing, it seems a bit hot.
Well, Minato was a little uneasy after all. While he didn't have any strange thoughts, he actually placed the seal on her the first time he learned the Flying Thunder God Technique for Kushina's safety.
It was just to protect Kushina. This was true, after all, there had been incidents like the Cloud Village's abduction before. However, hearing Kushina's tone now, Minato felt that he shouldn't be so honest. If he told the truth, he might get punched by Kushina.
After all, with this kind of seal, it was as if Minato could monitor Kushina at any time, and she would definitely be unhappy.
Kushina looked Minato up and down again with a suspicious gaze before finally withdrawing her scrutiny…
Minato breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her reaction.
Overall, Kushina still trusted Minato's character… although she had her suspicions where they were due.
First, Minato Namikaze was a man. A certain silver-haired, naturally curly, dead-eyed man had taught the world that men are beasts.
Second, this was particularly important, Minato had a very famous teacher, Jiraiya, one of the Sannin. However, in Kushina's eyes, Jiraiya wasn't famous for his strength but for certain aspects of his personality and quirks.
Fortunately, Haori's matter was more important now, and Kushina didn't have time to dwell on minor matters.
"Just hurry up and act, hopefully, Haori won't be in any danger!"
When Kushina finished speaking and turned her head again, Minato's heart-stopping feeling subsided… He reached out and secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Although Kushina said this, things didn't go as smoothly. Three days passed, and they still hadn't found Haori's trace. This made Kushina increasingly anxious.
While he was a bit mischievous, Haori had, after all, escaped the battlefield with Kushina. His chaotic Reverse Summoning Jutsu had saved the two of them. Now Kushina was fine, but if something happened to Haori, she would definitely feel guilty.
"This won't do!"
On the third day, Minato felt that they couldn't stay in this unfamiliar environment any longer. While it was a bit like a different space, they hadn't found any traces of other ninjas, and the environment was considered safe, but this was still enemy territory after all. Although he could quickly take Kushina away if necessary, what if the space was sealed?
In any case, Haori's matter needed to be expedited.
The solution came to him. Minato slapped his forehead protector with his right hand. At this moment, he felt that he and Kushina were incredibly stupid. Why were they insisting on searching for Haori together? They could completely ask for help.
"Kushina, wait for me a moment."
He said to Kushina, and without waiting for her reaction, he rushed off again, and this time, he was gone for a while.
But when he returned, he brought someone with him…
Seeing this person, Kushina didn't recognize him, but her eyes lit up!
"Of course, how could I not think of this? Minato, you're really smart!"
Minato chuckled helplessly. He wasn't that smart; it was just that their thinking had fallen into a rut.
After glancing at Kushina, Minato said to the person beside him, "Hyuga, I'll trouble you."
cough cough, who's the best at searching in the ninja world? The Hyuga of the Fire Country Leaf Village, of course. Why hadn't they thought of this simple truth before?
So, their previous ideas were too rigid.
"I understand, Minato-sama." This Hyuga clan ninja had been briefed beforehand, so he knew what he had to do now.
Byakugan!
"There are traces of chakra forty kilometers southeast."
Kushina and Minato exchanged glances, then rushed towards the indicated location!
With their average level exceeding that of a Jonin, their speed was quite fast.
Soon, the three arrived at the location. After confirming that there were no enemies nearby, they began to carefully inspect the battlefield.
"The battle took place about two days ago. There are traces of Fire Release jutsu all around, but judging by the way the terrain was destroyed, it looks like he was fighting something." This simple analysis and judgment was no difficulty for a ninja of Minato's level. "Kushina, can you confirm that this is Haori's chakra?"
"I remember Haori is a Lightning Release ninja. Can he use Fire Release?"
Kushina nodded and said, "Haori has both Lightning and Fire Release chakra. I also taught him how to use Fire Release jutsu. While he is extremely proficient in Lightning Release, he is actually quite good at Fire Release as well. However, he is not satisfied with the destructive power of Fire Release, and he is more skilled in Lightning Release, so he basically uses Lightning Release in battle… But I can confirm that this is Haori's chakra."
While Fire Release has a distinct advantage in terms of area of effect and scale, generally speaking, Fire Release jutsu has less single-target killing power than Lightning Release. This is one reason why Haori uses Lightning Release more often.
Of course, the main reason is that his Lightning Release is too slick. If it weren't for his current injuries, he would rarely use Fire Release.
Kushina's voice was filled with excitement. This was the first time in three days that they had found a trace of Haori.
The battle had taken place just two days ago. Haori obviously didn't have time to clean up the traces of the battle, so the chakra residue was quite obvious to a ninja like the Hyuga. And judging from the battlefield, it seems that Haori was at a disadvantage in the fight.
The traces of the battle extended further and further away.
The three continued to follow the traces of the battle. After several hours, the Hyuga ninja suddenly stopped and said,
"I found him!"
