"The terrifying background, the rich land, the Fire Nation... must be destroyed!"
He slammed the table and said, "Send Nohara Rin who was kidnapped from Konoha to the battlefield!"
"Didn't Tsunade send someone to look for her?"
"Then let her go back!"
"Let her return to the center of the Konoha camp!"
Goju Yagura originally wanted to quit while he was ahead. After all, he had already obtained the benefits promised by the Fengtu and Tu countries, and there was no need for him to fight to the death with the Fire Nation.
But now it’s different from before…
Four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist Village were killed and three were seriously injured. This was simply unacceptable to Karatachi Yagura.
At this moment, Karuji Yagura was like a gambler who had lost the bet and could no longer care about anything else!
He wants to place a big bet and win back his money with interest!
"Yes, Lord Mizukage!" The civilian ninja of the Hidden Mist Village accepted the order.
"Remember, wait until Nohara Rin arrives at Tsunade's headquarters before you unlock her seal and release the Three-Tails!"
"Yes!"
"Go ahead..."
Karajima Yagura waved his hand tiredly, and only closed his eyes heavily after the civilian ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village left.
The development of things has exceeded his expectations, but there is no turning back...
"Nohara Lin, come with us!"
"Where to?"
The cage containing Nohara Rin was opened, and a group of Mist Village ninjas rushed in, removed the chains that bound her, and dragged Nohara Rin out.
"Need I ask? Of course I'll let you go back!"
"Let me go back?"
Nohara Lin opened her eyes wide. She didn't believe that there was such a good thing in the world.
"Of course, I'll ask you to go back and give Konoha a great gift!" The leading Kirigakure ninja grinned and pointed at Nohara Rin's abdomen, "For example, the Three-Tails in your body!"
"No! You can't do this, let me go, let me go!"
Nohara Lin struggled and even thought about committing suicide at one point.
"Humph! This is not up to you!" The Kirigakure ninja pinched Nohara Lin's chin, "Sealing Squad, seal her!"
"I want Nohara Rin to return to Konoha's ninja army voluntarily and honestly!"
Chapter 208: Three pieces of equipment given to Minato Namikaze.
Due to the timeliness of information transmission, Hatake Akira was not aware of everything that happened on the battlefield in the Water Country.
At this time, he was leading seven Hyuga clan ninjas back to where he and Namikaze Minato had set up a defense line.
With the help of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, as long as the ninja coalition from the two countries invades, Hatake Akira and Namikaze Minato will definitely receive the news first.
"teacher."
"Ming, thank you for your hard work."
"It's just a round trip, not that tiring." Hatake Ming waved his hand, "Teacher, do you want to go back to the village?"
"With Lord Sakumo at the rear, I don't need to rush back."
Minato Namikaze was aware of the subtext in Hatake Akira's words, but he was really not in a hurry at all.
The position of the Fourth Hokage is right there, and although it is not 100% certain that it will be Minato Namikaze, it is almost certain.
Instead of rushing back to succeed the Hokage, it is better to continue to block the ninja coalition forces of the Fuu and Toru countries here.
When it comes to power, Minato Namikaze also desires it, but he has not yet reached the level of Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"The most urgent task is to delay the coalition forces of the two countries of Fu and Tu first, so as to buy time for Tsunade and Orochimaru's troops to defeat the ninja forces of the Water Country."
"Ah."
Hatake Akira nodded, then looked towards the northeastern part of the Land of Fire, "It's been seven days, I guess Kakashi and the others should have set out to provide support."
"Yes, I hope they can achieve success in one fell swoop..." Namikaze Minato said with deep eyes, "And I also hope that as many of them as possible can survive in this war..."
The Fire Nation's northeastern defense force now has less than 1000 men remaining.
These people can be considered as Minato Namikaze's old subordinates and are his political capital after he succeeds as the Fourth Hokage.
Moreover, Minato Namikaze's ardent expectations for these Konoha ninjas were not entirely based on benefits. Minato Namikaze still had deep feelings for his companions who had fought side by side with him.
"Don't worry, teacher. With Kakashi here, many things will become easier."
"Yes, Kakashi's current achievements are no less than yours." Namikaze Minato nodded, feeling a lot less worried.
But soon, Minato Namikaze seemed to remember something and asked Hatake Akira with some curiosity.
"By the way, Ming, before we came here to support, was it you who gave Kakashi that set of armor?"
"Well, it's me."
"Does that armor have any special purpose?" Namikaze Minato looked at Hatake Akira seriously. "If not... I'm worried that the bulky armor will cause some trouble for Kakashi."
"No, Sensei. That armor has a very powerful amplifying effect on Kakashi."
As Hatake Akira answered, his mind was racing with thoughts. He was wondering whether he should reveal a little of his secret.
Soon, Hatake Akira made a decision in his mind.
"This armor can increase Kakashi's physical defense and ninjutsu defense by nearly 30%, and increase the upper limit of his life energy by about 20%."
"And I also gave him a pair of short knives and a pair of metal gloves."
"As long as Kakashi carries the short sword, it can increase the three speeds of his body by about 30%, namely nerve reaction speed, body response speed, and attack speed."
"And that pair of gloves can increase Kakashi's attack power. That is, the same attack power can be increased by about 15% with the additional blessing of the gloves."
"More importantly, this pair of gloves also has an active skill. When activated, it can provide the user with a high level of protective shielding. This has unexpected benefits during combat."
A series of exaggerated numbers came out of Hatake Akira's mouth, leaving Minato Namikaze who was listening stunned.
The properties of the equipment just described by Hatake Akira have exceeded Minato Namikaze's original scope of cognition.
As far as he knew, there were indeed god-level weapons or protective gear in the ninja world that could increase the strength of their users.
For example, the five sacred artifacts left by the Six Paths Sage, and the Uchiha sacred artifacts lost by the Uchiha clan, and so on.
Although these artifacts have some unique abilities, they are definitely dwarfed by what Hatake Akira just said!
Strength, defense, three speeds, etc. are increased in percentage form. This outrageous thing is simply unheard of!
Anyone with a quick mind can understand that the increase in a fixed value cannot be as significant as the increase in a percentage value.
"Ming...I don't quite understand..."
Namikaze Minato looked at Hatake Akira seriously, "You said that all of Kakashi's divine weapons were given to him by you, so where did these divine weapons come from...?"
"Well... how should I put it? These artifacts were all born with me, and I don't know their specific origins."
Hatake Akira looked at Namikaze Minato sincerely and talked nonsense seriously.
"Then... do you have many Sacred Gears like Kakashi?"
Namikaze Minato's gaze was also very serious, which made Hatake Akira slightly stunned and caught off guard.
Hey, can't you ask one more question?!
For example, why is it innate?
But Namikaze Minato didn't ask any questions, instead he immediately believed what Hatake Akira said...
It's somewhat unreasonable, but if you think about it carefully, it is the case.
We are all smart people, and we don’t need to ask many questions to understand many things.
All Minato Namikaze needs to know is that this matter is beneficial to him and does not cause any harm to him.
Instead of digging into the truth, it is better to pretend to be ignorant and know the truth.
"many!"
Hatake Akira originally thought that he would have to spend more time talking, but he did not expect Namikaze Minato to be so sensible and answer him decisively immediately.
"Then take it out!" Namikaze Minato was a little impatient.
In fact, it’s not surprising that Minato Namikaze is so impatient. Anyone would be the same if this happened to them.
To put it bluntly, this is all caused by the fact that strength is respected in the ninja world.
No matter if it is Minato Namikaze or anyone else, they always strive for perfection in their own strength. It is no problem to say that they are greedy.
A good horse deserves a good saddle. Although the artifact that can increase one's strength by a percentage is an external object, it is also a reflection of one's own strength when fighting against the enemy.
Even if others want it, they may not have it!
"Teacher, please don't worry, let me think about it..."
Hatake Akira quickly calculated in his mind what equipment he should buy from the equipment mall to give to Namikaze Minato.
It didn't take long for Hatake Akira to come up with an idea.
Although defensive equipment has helped to improve Minato Namikaze's current strength, it is far inferior to offensive equipment.
Compared with equipment that increases all ninjutsu talents, equipment that simply increases attack power seems to be lacking in power.
A ninja's talent is truly the foundation of his strength.
With Minato Namikaze's current talent, as long as Hatake Akira gives him an "Essayist's Wrath", there is a high possibility that Minato Namikaze will take off on the spot.
Of course, it is not impossible to take a two-pronged approach, so Hatake Akira quickly drew up a list of equipment in his mind.
First of all, the equipment "Scholar's Wrath" is a must.
Secondly, the "Shadow Blade" that increases the third speed must also be given to Minato Namikaze.
Finally, a "Staff of Void" that specifically provides defense-breaking capabilities must also be given to Minato Namikaze.
