Chapter 92 - Mission Rank S 17.

[Chapter Size: 2300 Words.]

Third Person POV

Fire Country, Year 36.

...

...

Both he and Jiraiya were unaware that the Stone ninjas had given up and were sacrificing themselves to pass information about Minato to the village, while both were engaged in their own battles.

Minato continued to chase his adversaries. Unfortunately, he lost a lot of time due to his delay in fighting other ninjas, even with Jiraiya slowing them down, Minato still had a long distance to cover in a conventional chase.

Everything in his path was dark with no sign of the ninjas; he was able to move easily at night due to his Haki sensing the area. Although still out of Haki's reach, he was getting closer, but soon it would be too late...

Having no other choice, he suddenly began to glow and the next moment, he shot off at an unbelievable speed, unseen by any ninja of that era, looking like a bright line racing through the forest lighting up the night as he sped past. He couldn't be as versatile as a Thunder Fruit, which could swerve at high speeds, but he could certainly travel at the speed of light in a straight line.

The ninjas who continued to flee, almost out of the forest and nearing the coast, said, "Come on, we're almost making it," as they hoped to complete the mission.

"Let's go! Let's go!" The Damayo's secretary was there, trying to escape as per the deal he made with foreign countries.

But in the middle of the night's darkness, they suddenly saw a glow coming from the forest behind them. "And what is that?" they said, as suddenly the line headed straight for the man and a boy emerged, kicking one of the men carrying the cages with the family along with the secretary, who ended up hitting a rock and, not being a ninja, was crushed and died.

"Hm?! What is this? A boy?" The ninjas quickly cried out, alarmed by this.

Minato wasted no time while still in the air, crossed his fingers, and made a clone to hold the cage and moved his clone away while he landed facing the other 9 ninjas, plus the one he had kicked.

The original was getting ready to face the 10 ninjas, even though one of them had a severely twisted back after receiving Minato's kick.

"Damn, where did this kid come from? How did he do that?" they questioned.

Minato had used more abilities than he wanted, after all, the Pika Pika no Mi was still a secret to him, and he had to finish them all quickly so they couldn't escape. Minato needed to make sure to destroy them.

"Damn, this brat! I don't know how he did it, but kill him!" they said. There were 5 wind ninjas and 5 stone ninjas, they ran to fight with taijutsu, Minato also advanced, defending from one ninja in the air and as soon as another appeared, he kicked the second approaching, a third and fourth advanced while Minato touched the ground and moved towards the next opponents.

The fight continued with Taijutsu, Minato had some difficulty facing Jonins in hand-to-hand combat, but quickly deactivated his weights and the fight became more balanced.

"This brat!! How can he be so strong!" One of them exclaimed frustrated, while Minato was already used to this kind of expression for him.

Kunais with bomb papers appeared and exploded on Minato while he was on the ground, turning only into a trunk while he appeared on the other side after the substitution jutsu.

"We have to pay the Damayo again, let's combine a jutsu!" He said, after all, this boy was very strong.

Everyone could do earth techniques, and all 10 began to combine jutsus. Soon, the whole ground began to take the shape of a river and a giant wave of earth began to explode towards Minato.

"This is bad... I'll have to use this jutsu," Minato murmured, while his hand began to form a Rasengan and soon this Rasengan began to create helices around it, making an intense noise while Minato did all this with one hand.

The ninjas on the other side also heard this. "What is he doing?" they wondered, and saw a boy raising a chakra in the shape of a shuriken, making a constant sharp sound that even irritated their ears.

"What kind of jutsu is that?!"

Meanwhile, Minato was not afraid of the incoming wave of earth. He simply moved his arm and launched the Rasenshuriken towards the enemy jutsu. It spun like a high-speed shuriken, colliding with the enemy's jutsu and exploding. It was nothing compared to a biju dama, however, it created a massive explosion, lighting up the entire sky in the area and dazzling the night.

"What is this? How did he perform such a jutsu?" The ninjas quickly became stunned by the explosion of chakra in front of them, destroying their combined jutsus and feeling the wind from the explosion catching them by surprise.

"We should retreat!" Someone suggested.

"Why would we do that!? It's just a boy..." said a ninja beside him. But before he could finish, a glow appeared from behind him.

"Tell me, have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?" Minato spoke, leaving all the ninjas barely able to react to this as he kicked the man, and his kick exploded the man's head. The other ninjas tried to distance themselves, but Minato quickly turned into light and appeared in front of another ninja, grabbing his sword from his waist and cutting off his head.

'I'm out of chakra at this moment... I should use only these abilities, spending my Stamina...' Minato thought and ran to the next target in the form of light.

"What is this? How can this boy be doing this?" they quickly complained and launched kunais at Minato, who saw this with a ninja jumping in the air and quickly advanced, letting the kunais embed in his body. The ninja thought he might have performed a substitution jutsu to act so openly with the attack and receive it. However, Minato kept advancing, leaving him stunned as he did not transform into wood. The ninja couldn't react while his neck was cut by the same blade that had ended his last comrade. The other 7 ninjas stayed back and looked at Minato with frightened faces, as the boy still had kunais embedded in his body.

Minato noticed this and looked down while removing a kunai; where there should have been a wound, there was only bright light, which quickly began to close, appearing as if he had not been attacked in that region. "Sorry, but physical attacks don't work against me," Minato spoke calmly, after all, none of them would survive anyway. So, he didn't miss the chance to taunt his enemies.

"This...? You must be joking with me. What is this boy?" They quickly wondered. Minato continued the attack, he shone with light and disappeared from the spot, reappearing behind a ninja as his head separated the next moment.

"Retreat, we must retreat," another ninja spoke, but he quickly shone behind that same one and cut him down.

Minato was getting good at using the Pika Pika no Mi. There were still half the original number of ninjas, and now they had abandoned the mission and were trying to flee, but Minato wouldn't allow it; he moved upward and appeared in the sky, crossing his arms, and several flashes of light appeared around him, launching directly into the ground where the ninjas were fleeing.

Even the Stone ninjas who tried to escape underground couldn't get away because as soon as he touched the ground, explosions began to emerge, not as large as Rasenshuriken but certainly brighter due to the pure light element.

Minato had eliminated at least 3 more of them with this, while another was injured and out of combat, while the last one managed to escape unharmed trying to flee at a distance. But Minato quickly shone and shot towards the last man, who was jumping from tree to tree looking back, while he didn't even see Minato shine above him and kill him with a quick cut. After that, he quickly returned shining to the last ninja fallen on the ground, injured.

He was coughing and bleeding from many parts of the body. Minato could have taken him as a hostage; however, his secret could never be passed on from there.

"You're a demon, what are you?" The ninja managed to say, looking at the boy who had eliminated an entire squad in less than 4 or 5 minutes.

"Sorry, but you're going to die here... Nothing personal, but we are enemies," he said, then made the final move, killing the ninja. The area fell silent the next moment; there were no flames, since no one used fire jutsu, only debris, leaving only darkness to take over the area.

Minato sighed, then went to his clone guarding the cage with the Damayo. "You went overboard," the clone said to Minato, who just shrugged.

He approached and began to remove all the seals protecting the cage with his knowledge of fuinjutsu. After removing them, he opened it; there was a fat man, a young boy about 13 or 14 years old, a middle-aged woman who was certainly the Damayo's wife, and a little girl about 6 or 7 years old.

The Damayo looked frightened at Minato, but as soon as he saw his headband, he sighed with relief. He approached and removed the seal from the Damayo's mouth.

As soon as he did that, Minato was surprised by the man's reaction. "You took too long!!" He exclaimed. "You are incompetent," he shouted, and Minato looked at the man wanting to slap him or seal him back up.

He began to remove all the seals from the family right after, letting them be free. "I want you to take me immediately to my home, what nonsense is this? You ninjas from Konoha let me be captured with my family, I fund you!" He continued to complain, while Minato tried to breathe more, the young boy even seemed to feel a bit sorry for Minato.

"Let's go outside and organize your return to the capital," Minato commented, trying to calm the hysterical man.

"And where is that damn agent of mine? He betrayed me, I want his head." He made another demand.

"He is dead, Damayo-sama, he died in the last battle," Minato said, after all the guy's body was thrown somewhere, died by the first impact from Minato.

"That's unfair, how can you be so incompetent? I wanted to kill that guy, that damned bastard," the man said. Minato looked at the younger girl thinking about how sorry she must feel hearing so many swear words from her father's mouth.

Stepping outside, he looked towards the coast area, after all, he felt two presences approaching from that side. He didn't know who it was, but certainly had no more intentions, I mean, beyond a bit of caution.

He waited for the ninjas to arrive and two red-haired ninjas appeared at that moment, looking at Minato in front of the Damayo's family with his clone, while they began to look around the area and the destruction.

"What happened here? We heard explosions, surely this was the result of this fight. Who are you and what happened here?" one of the ninjas said.

"It's polite to introduce yourselves first." Minato retorted.

He coughed and said, "I am Veren Uzumaki." The older man said, while the younger added, "Kurzi Uzumaki." They said, it was obvious they were from the Uzumaki clan due to the color of their hair, and also because they were patrolling this area, after all, there was a war going on with Kirigakure, and the Uzumaki were allies of Konoha.

"I am Minato Uzumaki, this is the Damayo of the Fire Country." Minato said, but was soon interrupted.

"I want you to take me immediately to the capital," the Damayo pointed out, showing the urgency of the moment, and the Uzumakis were a bit surprised by this, something Minato had expected.

He even instructed the clone: "Shut up, don't say anything," he said before the clone could utter any nonsense, and turned back to the Uzumaki looking at the stunned fat man. "Yes, he is the Damayo, we are on a rescue mission, as you can see. That area is full of Stone and Sand ninjas who kidnapped our Damayo, but we managed to recover him," he explained.

"There are at least 9 ninjas here," one Uzumaki commented, using their sensory ability to see the bodies with chakras ending due to death. "Where is your team?" they asked, and Minato shrugged.

"There is no team, just me," he said, causing the Uzumaki to exchange looks among themselves, while the Damayo closed his mouth at that moment, looking at the boy with some interest.

"You must be joking," the young Uzumaki Ninja commented.

"Believe what you want, but we need reinforcements. Some group of ninjas to safely escort the Damayo back to the capital. Can you get a squad?" he asked, after all, it was a security procedure even though he was strong, he needed a team.

They nodded. "Well, we have a camp nearby. We can take them there first, then form a team," the Uzumaki said, and Minato saw nothing wrong with that, just nodded for them to continue with the procedure.
