Chapter 124 Mission: Minato's Squad Heads to the Battlefield

At the front lines of the Land of Fire, Minato led Kakashi and the other two to the very front of the Konoha camp. Beyond that lay the territory occupied by Iwagakure.

Minato shook his head as he looked at Obito, who was eager to make a move, and Kakashi, who had an indifferent expression.

These two disciples of mine are really a worry for me.

Kakashi's father's death made this already taciturn disciple even more indifferent, showing apathy towards everything outside of missions.

He aspired to become an outstanding ninja like his father, Hatake Sakumo, a ninja who was hailed as a hero and role model by everyone in the village.

As for Obito, although he is full of passion, he has a carefree personality and likes to show off, making him the type of person who is most worrying.

Of the three, only Nohara Rin is the most reassuring, but Rin is a medical ninja and not very strong in combat.

"Kakashi, Obito, Rin, listen up! We're heading into the territory occupied by Iwagakure. The situation we're about to face is extremely dangerous, so you all need to be on your guard, understand?"

"Don't worry, Minato-sensei! We've already prepared everything!"

Obito was full of confidence, as the success of his previous missions had given him a great deal of confidence.

Lin said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Mr. Minato, we will be on our best."

Seeing that the two readily agreed, Minato then looked at Kakashi.

Kakashi, however, turned his head away and looked into the distance.

"I understand. Let's get going. Isn't this mission very urgent?"

"Okay, let's go."

Minato sighed and set off with the three of them.

Under the cover of night, the group left the Konoha camp and followed a pre-planned route to bypass the main force of Iwagakure and head towards Kannabi Bridge.

The Kannabi Bridge is located in a valley near the Land of Fire within the territory of the Land of Grass.

At this moment, a large number of Iwagakure ninjas had gathered at Kannabi Bridge, and the person leading the group was Higashi Shijin, an elite Jonin from Iwagakure.

This person is different from other ninjas. Other ninjas may be good at a certain ninjutsu or taijutsu, but he, Dongsiren, is good at organizing a large army of ninjas to fight together.

For this reason, he was highly regarded by the Third Hokage, Onoki Iwagakure, during the war.

The Eastern Dead Man led a group of about fifty Iwagakure ninja to gather here, clearly plotting something.

Minato and the three others gathered together in the bamboo forest.

"I just went to investigate and found that more than fifty Iwagakure ninjas have gathered at the Iwagakure base in Kannabi Bridge. It seems that they are planning to take action against one of our Konoha bases."

"What should we do, Minato-sensei? Should we just rush in and kill them all?"

When Obito heard that the other side had about fifty people, he was not afraid at all; on the contrary, he was extremely excited.

“Obito, don’t underestimate the Iwagakure ninjas. They may not be good at one-on-one combat, but when a group of Iwagakure ninjas gather together, they often unleash amazing fighting power.”

Minato looked at the agitated Obito and patiently tried to persuade him.

Kakashi then spoke up.

"Ignore them. We are ninjas, and we should focus on our own missions."

"Kakashi!"

Rin looked at Kakashi in disbelief. How could he say that? This was wartime, not a bounty mission. Everyone was fighting for the village. How could he ignore these Iwagakure ninjas?

"Kakashi, this is wartime!"

Obito retorted.

"How can we just ignore these guys? Even if we're no match for them, we should at least let everyone know."

Kakashi didn't say anything, but you could tell from his eyes that he still thought the mission should take priority.

In the end, it was Minato who made the decision.

"How about this, let's observe them first and see what their intentions are. If they do anything dangerous, I'll go back and inform everyone, and the three of you can continue with the mission, okay?"

Kakashi nodded.

Obito hesitated for a moment, while Rin thought for a long time before deciding that this might be the best solution. After all, she knew that her teacher was known as the fastest in the ninja world, and if there was any danger, her teacher would definitely return quickly.

"Alright, since you've all agreed, then let's wait."

As night fell, the Iwa ninja inside the Kannabi Bridge began to move. Led by Higashi Shijin, this team of more than fifty people headed towards a position on the Konoha front.

Now they understood what the other side wanted to do; they were planning a surprise attack under the cover of night.

If Minato is successfully ambushed, Konoha's front line of defense will likely be severely weakened.

"Kakashi, Jonin."

"exist!"

"I hereby appoint you as the temporary captain. You will lead the team to continue the mission, while I will go and warn everyone in the rear to be careful of a sneak attack by the Iwa ninja."

"understand!"

Looking at Kakashi, whose face remained expressionless, Minato took a deep breath and said solemnly.

"Be careful, understand, Kakashi?"

"I see."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Having said that, Minato didn't hesitate any longer and quickly ran towards the direction of Konoha's position.

He knew that the sooner he notified the rear, the faster he could get back, thus reducing the chances of Kakashi and the others encountering danger.

After Minato left, Rin looked at Kakashi.

"Kakashi, what should we do next?"

Kakashi looked towards the Kannabi Bridge and calmly replied.

"Blow up the bridge!"

"But can the three of us manage?"

"We are ninjas. There is no such thing as 'can't' or 'can't'. We will do anything to complete the mission."

After saying that, Kakashi stopped paying attention to Obito and ran alone towards the Kannabi Bridge.

Seeing this, Rin and Obito had no choice but to follow, since Kakashi was now their captain.

The three of them moved stealthily and with extreme caution.

But they were still too young. Even though Kakashi was a Jonin, he was just a newly promoted Jonin, and he was still far inferior to those veterans.

The three stealthily moving were unaware that a gaze had already been fixed on them.

"Swish swish~!"

Several shuriken instantly tore through space and attacked them.

"Humph!"

Kakashi reacted immediately. At this distance, it was too late to escape. He drew his father's heirloom, the White Fang Ninja Sword, which had been personally handed to him by the Third Hokage.

I remember the day the village held a funeral for my father, when the Third Hokage found me.

"Kakashi, your father was a hero. He was great for sacrificing himself for a mission. This is your father's heirloom, the White Fang Ninja Sword. I hope that while you inherit this sword, you will also inherit your father's will, become an excellent ninja, and become a hero of the village."

"Hatake Style: White Fang Flash!"

With a flash of light, like the White Fang of Konoha, all the incoming shuriken were deflected.

"Warning, we've been exposed."
