Chapter 4: The Ordinary Chunin, Minato Namikaze
"Cuckoo~~"
"Cuckoo~~~"
In the rainy night, two cuckoo calls were heard.
"Wow, wow, wow."
After a few breaths, the rain fell even harder.
Bean-sized raindrops fell on the ground, creating puddles and splashing water mist.
Soon, visibility in the air became almost as low as fog.
"Whoo~~~"
Zao Ze Da Yu took a breath slowly.
Let the heavy rain fall on you.
Walk straight towards Konoha's base.
In fact, Konoha has four guard points around the warehouse in the middle.
However, there was no need for him to take action.
What is falling from the sky at this moment is not ordinary rain.
It is the secret technique unique to their Rain Village, the Rain Tiger Dissolution Technique.
This technique has two uses.
First, all non-Rain Ninjas within the range of heavy rain will gradually lose their chakra and fall into a coma once they are continuously dripped by rain or inhale the mist splashed by rain. Moreover, this process is gradual and silent, and by the time they react, it is already too late.
Therefore, the Genin in those strongholds have fallen into coma at this moment. They may only wake up when the heavy rain stops. Of course, before that, these people have already been eliminated by their subordinates.
Second, dissolve the barriers and make all barriers lose their defensive capabilities. For example, the barrier that enveloped the entire warehouse in front of him had actually lost its function. He only needed a light knife to break it.
Normally, it would take a long time for the Rain Tiger Dissolution Technique to silently take effect on a large defensive structure like a barrier, but who asked Konoha to tell them the key nodes of their barrier?
Under the targeted attack of Yuhu's Dissolution Technique, it could be said that the barrier lost its original function in less than a quarter of an hour.
"Cang~~~"
Zaoze Dayu slowly pulled out his short knife and lightly drew a line on the translucent barrier.
Just like a hot knife cutting through solidified oil.
A hole was created in the barrier.
Then, he swaggered in through the opening, came to the door of the warehouse, and slowly pushed it open.
In fact, this behavior was a bit arrogant. What he should have done was to wait for his eight subordinates to clean up the stronghold outside and then go in together.
But, again, who made him have the information?
Intelligence showed that because Konoha Village was very confident in its intelligence concealment and barrier techniques, it did not deploy any jonin at this stronghold. After all, even for Konoha, having a jonin guarding the warehouse would be a huge waste of combat power.
In fact, this stronghold is composed entirely of Genin, with only two mediocre Chunin, one named Jaci and the other named Namikaze Minato. To be honest, this is a bit too arrogant. In his opinion, if a stronghold has no Jonin, then at least ten Chunin must be deployed.
However, these two Chunins seem to be proficient in barrier techniques to a certain extent and are able to maintain and repair the barriers.
That does make sense.
Unfortunately, once the barrier is broken, the barrier technique can no longer be transformed into positive combat power.
"Om~~~"
The door of the warehouse was pushed open completely.
A cool breeze blew in my face, mixed with the fragrance of grain and the taste of medicinal herbs.
However, it was pitch black inside, without a single ray of light.
"Oh?"
Seeing this, Zaozawa Dayu, who was about to go in, couldn't help but stop.
Because there was still the smell of kerosene lamps in the air, but it was dark inside, which meant that someone had turned off all the lights in the warehouse before the door was opened, which meant that the enemy already knew that someone had invaded this stronghold. But, so what?
Outside, the Rain Tiger·Dissipation Technique could not dissipate in a short time because of the heavy rain. Within the coverage area of the Dissipation Technique, all movements, fluctuations, and even the Reverse Spiritualization Technique could not be used. This place was an isolated island.
There is only one thing we look at: strength.
"Little guys from Konoha, surrender and I will spare your lives. There are only two Chunins and sixteen Genins in this warehouse."
At the door, Zaoze Dayu cleared his throat and spoke.
"Besides, aren't you curious about why I know so much? Because your own people in Konoha betrayed you. Think about it, this is a very important base for you. Anyone who knows the detailed information here must be very powerful."
"Konoha is rotten to the core. It's not worth your life."
"Well, if you want to surrender, just raise your hands and come out. I will spare your life based on my reputation as a jonin of the Rain Village."
"But I'll only give you ten breaths to think about it."
"One"
"two"
The sound of heavy rain echoed in the warehouse, along with the water vapor that seeped into the warehouse through the torn entrance of the barrier.
Yes, he never intended to leave any survivors. Since the other party didn't come out, he was just delaying time, waiting for the Rain Tiger Dissolution Technique to gradually penetrate into the warehouse. Not only could it weaken the strength of the Konoha ninjas, he could even use this ninjutsu to sense the interior of the warehouse to a certain extent.
Just like this moment.
In his perception, the positions of the eighteen ninjas were clear and unmistakable. Some were hiding on the roof, some were sticking to the wall, and some were even hiding in the food.
"I surrender."
A voice that sounded a little childish was heard.
In a corner, a kerosene lamp was lit, and behind the light was a young man with blond hair.
"Namikaze Minato."
In Aozawa Daiyu's mind, he recalled the information about the young man in front of him, one of the two Chunins, with clear eyes and a clean appearance.
"Hehe, little guy, didn't anyone tell you that your acting is a little bad? At this time, you should have a little bit of expression on your face."
"Whoosh!"
Aozawa Daiyu instinctively turned sideways and dodged the kunai that was stabbing at his throat. At the same time, his right hand slashed diagonally to the upper left, and the short knife cut towards Namikaze Minato's right hand with a sound of cutting through the air.
Unfortunately, before that, the other party had already withdrawn his hand.
"Tick tock."
The blood, mixed with the rain on his face, dripped onto the ground.
Zaozei Dayu gently wiped his chin with his left hand, where there was a wound deep enough to see the bone.
"trap?"
"No"
“He’s a genius”
Based on the situation in front of him, Zaoze Dayu made a deduction in an instant.
Flickering Technique is a short-distance, fast-moving ninjutsu used to dodge enemy attacks by a hair's breadth. However, the young man in front of him could use Flickering Technique from fifteen meters away while maintaining an extremely high speed and even accurately controlling the landing point of his attacks.
This must be a genius that even Konoha is unaware of.
If this is a trap, then the one waiting here should not be this young man, but one or more jonin.
"It's really enviable."
Aozawa Daiyu looked at Namikaze Minato with eyes full of jealousy.
The entire ninja world knows that the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Fire has a nickname, the Cradle of Geniuses. In other countries, it takes a lot of hard work to produce a genius, but in this country, geniuses often appear like a blowout. No wonder they occupy the most fertile land in the entire ninja world.
