Naruto: Uchiha is not the Raikage!

On the coastline, a squad is carrying out a mission.

"Raid! Raid!"

Yamada Taiyu's shout was almost swallowed by the wind, his team members reacted quickly, protecting the rich merchant's son in the carriage.

They were secretly carrying out a B-class mission, escorting the rich merchant's son to another small country.

A group of figures darted out of the forest ahead, all of them burly, with knotted muscles, wearing one-shoulder ninja combat uniforms.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Illusion Lightning Flash Pillar!"

The ninja in front of Yamada Taiyu's squad suddenly became covered in white light, dazzlingly bright.

"It's a Cloud Village's lightning release illusion technique, quickly look away!"

Yamada Taiyu shouted loudly, taking the lead in closing his eyes tightly.

He had encountered Cloud Village ninjas using this move before, as long as he closed his eyes, he could block most of the light from entering.

This was his way of experience.

"Kill the target."

DeSato shouted, raising the samurai sword in his hand and going forward.

Their mission this time was commissioned by the rich merchant's enemy, demanding the killing of his family's only son!

As long as he was killed, the mission would be completed, and they could leave directly without fighting with these Leaf Village ninjas!

Yamada Taiyu immediately refined chakra to perform hand seals.

"Water Release: Water Fang Bullet!"

His right hand condensed rotating water flow, condensing into the shape of a water gun, quickly attacking the Cloud Village ninja.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

The Cloud Village ninja instantly performed hand seals and released a wall made of earth, blocking the path of these water guns and intercepting them all.

Yamada Taiyu wanted to continue releasing "Water Release: Water Fang Bullet," but a flash of sword light was seen, and a huge gash immediately appeared on his abdomen.

He screamed, and his teammates heard the noise and hurried to support him.

"Yamada, hold on!"

For a time, the scene became chaotic, and the rich merchant's son listened to the fighting outside in horror.

After an unknown amount of time, a black shadow arrived in front of him.

Before he could even scream, he felt a chill in his throat, and warm liquid flowed down his neck.

Reaching out to touch it, a palm full of blood shook before his eyes, his mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to shout something, but the sound was stifled in his throat.

"Mission completed, retreat!"

DeSato shouted, and then cut through the remaining flesh of the rich merchant's son with a knife, cut off his head, sealed it into a sealing scroll, and quickly left the area.

"Damn it."

Sakai Nobuo spit and his face was anxious.

He finally managed to not team up with Kakashi and changed to new teammates, but the situation during this time was more severe than he imagined.

Friction between countries is increasing day by day, and there are even rumors that the Third Ninja World War may break out at any time.

He glanced at Yamada Taiyu lying in the pool of blood, this has exceeded the original mission difficulty of their squad.

The B-class was already difficult, and this time the difficulty is at least A-class.

"Quickly take Yamada back for treatment!"

............

Third Training Ground.

The scorching sun hangs high, the air is filled with a faint smell of dust, and the ground is full of potholes smashed out by the impact.

"Controlling this... is too difficult."

Namikaze Minato sat on the ground, panting, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

His hands trembled slightly, obviously the training just now had consumed a lot of chakra and energy.

Jiraiya standing aside looked thoughtfully at Minato's palm, muttering in his mouth:

"I heard before that when refining chakra, guiding it according to the direction of the swirl on your head will be easier..."

Minato was stunned when he heard this, blinked his eyes: "Eh?"

This sounds more like superstition, right?

But Jiraiya said it with a straight face, as if he really had some unique experience.

Seeing Minato's face full of doubt and no progress, Jiraiya stopped talking about this topic, took out a popsicle from his arms, skillfully broke it in half, and handed half of it to Minato.

Namikaze Minato just looked down at his palm, vaguely enlightened, and asked Jiraiya which direction his swirl was facing.

After learning that there were swirls on both sides, Namikaze Minato stretched out his hands and refined chakra according to the swirls on his head.

"In... initial form!!"

The chakra sphere in Minato's hand that was constantly compressed and rotated was finally able to be fixed, so he said excitedly:

"Let's name it 'Halo Popsicle Inspired Swirl Hair Jiraiya Double Style Ball'!"

"Smelly and long..."

Jiraiya only felt that his disciple had no naming talent at all.

"In short, let's call it a day for the development of the new technique today."

Jiraiya gave the popsicle to Minato, and casually instructed: "I still have mission application matters to deal with, I'll take a step first."

Minato nodded, watching Jiraiya's back disappear into the forest path, and then slowly took a bite of the popsicle.

Before long, he keenly noticed a trace of peeping aura coming from a certain direction behind him.

Looking sideways, he saw a head peeking out from behind a big tree, red hair swaying slightly, bright eyes, with a bit of guilt.

"Eh?! Kushina?!"

Minato stood up suddenly, his face full of surprise and nervousness, "Why are you here? Is it okay?"

He subconsciously looked around, for fear that someone was monitoring in the dark.

You know, Kushina's identity is special, she can't leave the monitoring range casually.

If the Hokage knows that she sneaked out privately... that would be terrible!

Seeing this, Kushina smiled dryly and scratched the back of her head, her eyes flickering:

"That... the Third Hokage specifically approved it, saying that she can temporarily walk out of the barrier."

Kushina touched the back of her head, feeling nervous.

She didn't say it very confidently, but Minato was a little suspicious that Kushina was deceiving him.

Isn't Kushina always unable to get out of the sealing barrier?

Has the sealing power been strengthened now?

Namikaze Minato was making guesses in his heart, mainly because this matter was of great importance, and Namikaze Minato couldn't help but think more about it.

Namikaze Minato is one of the few people who vaguely know something about Kushina's identity.

Just as Namikaze Minato was about to say something, Kushina's light blue eyes suddenly turned into beast-like vertical pupils.

"!"

This is, Tailed Beast Transformation!

Namikaze Minato looked at Kushina, who suddenly hugged her head with a painful expression, and instantly realized the reason.

He had fought against the Four-Tailed Jinchuriki and the Five-Tailed Jinchuriki in previous missions.

Now it is obvious that the Tailed Beast Chakra is leaking!

"Kushina!"

Before Namikaze Minato could seal Kushina, a sudden voice rang out in the field.

Namikaze Minato looked in the direction of the sound, it was Uchiha Seiji, whom he had seen several times in the Chunin Exams before.

Seiji ran over quickly, with an anxious look on his face.

No wonder Kushina mentioned Seiji several times before.

Namikaze Minato instantly understood, it seems that their relationship is good.

The next moment.

Puff!

Namikaze Minato was sent flying by a tail made of leaking Tailed Beast Chakra.

"Minato!"

Kushina wanted to run over.
