As previously mentioned, ninjas are the type with high attack but low defense. As long as their recovery ability doesn't reach the monstrous - level (a very high and almost inhumane level) of someone like [a certain pillar], even if Madara Uchiha of the Uchiha Clan were here, he'd die if his neck was slit without any defense. Of course, this is assuming Madara Uchiha doesn't have other tricks up his sleeve.
Surely, none of the members in this Cloud Ninjas squad had a monstrous - level recovery ability. Together, Yue Yan and Minato Namikaze took them out in less than half a minute.
Without activating the Thunder Beast Mode, Yue Yan was not as fast as Minato Namikaze. He also didn't handle the situation as elegantly as Minato Namikaze did. However, Yue Yan was definitely decisive and efficient, either shooting the enemy in the head or piercing through their hearts.
Without the need for weapons, Yue Yan's limbs covered with the Lightning Bolt were his best weapons. The high - temperature evaporation caused by the Lightning Bolt ensured that he didn't even get a single drop of blood on him.
"Yue Yan, what's this you've got now?"
Minato Namikaze thought Yue Yan's Gale Lightning Mode looked a lot like the Lightning Release Suit used from the Raikage clan.
Hearing this, Yue Yan retracted the Lightning Bolt and shrugged.
"This is similar to the power - saving mode of the Thunder Beast. After all, it's much more troublesome to accumulate such a powerful Lightning Bolt inside my body than just condensing the lightning."
After listening, Minato Namikaze nodded to show he understood, then squatted down to examine the Cloud Ninjas.
At this time, Shibi and Chōza, who had been watching from the back, also walked over and joined in the examination.
A few minutes later, Minato Namikaze stood up.
"One of these Cloud Ninjas is a Chunin, and the rest are Genin. They should be a squad sent by the Cloud Ninjas to scout Konoha's supply routes."
"Then is our main task this time to wipe out these squads?"
"Yes." Minato Namikaze nodded, then added, "Wiping out these scouting squads is one of the tasks. Our most important task is to destroy the Cloud Ninjas' supplies based on the scouted information."
"Got it. Now, Konoha and the Cloud Ninjas have the same basic tactics. It depends on who can destroy more supplies. Whoever does wins."
Hearing Yue Yan's summary, Minato Namikaze nodded with a smile.
"However, we also need to be careful of the Cloud Ninjas pretending to transport supplies to lure teams like ours in."
Minato Namikaze was very relaxed. Even if they walked into an ambush, he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take the other three away. With Yue Yan, who had excellent medical skills, they were basically invincible.
Unless the Cloud Ninjas sent a bunch of elite Jonin and the Third Raikage himself, they wouldn't pose a threat to Yue Yan and the others.
Konoha was well - aware of Minato Namikaze's team's capabilities. They didn't need them for some simple clearance tasks. Instead, they were sent deep into the Cloud Ninjas' territory.
With Yue Yan and Minato Namikaze around, there was no need to worry about attacks. They could take out a Cloud Ninjas' supply team in less than five minutes.
As for Shibi and Chōza, one was responsible for scouting with Bugs, and the other for logistics.
In the next two months, not a single member of Minato Namikaze's team was injured.
However, it's unclear if the Cloud Ninjas realized that Minato Namikaze's team was a tough nut to crack, but they blatantly spread the intelligence about a large transport and supply convoy to Konoha.
Konoha also sensed something was wrong. After all, it was almost as if it was written clearly that this was a Booby Trap.
Konoha either had to send a sabotage team to intercept it or let so many supplies reach the Cloud Ninjas' front - line.
When this tough call landed on Minato Namikaze's team, Minato also asked the other members.
"What do you think? It doesn't matter if we give it up."
Hearing this, Shibi and Chōza glanced at each other and shrugged in unison.
"It doesn't matter. You decide. It's fine whether we go or give it up."
Seeing this, Minato nodded and then looked at Yue Yan.
"Yue Yan, what's your thought?"
Hearing this, Yue Yan gave a soft laugh.
"So what if it's a Booby Trap over there? Can they hold us back? Moreover, we haven't even encountered a decent opponent in the past two days. I'm actually a bit eager to fight."
Hearing this, Minato was taken aback for a moment and then also showed a smile.
"It seems Yue Yan and I are on the same page."
Now that the decision was made, Yue Yan and the others started to act.
Of course, since they knew there was a Booby Trap on the other side, Yue Yan and the others definitely wouldn't be so stupid as to step into it.
After choosing a path the Cloud Ninjas' supply convoy was bound to pass through, Yue Yan and the others started setting up Booby Traps. They scattered Explosive Tags and [Kunai] engraved with the Flying Thunder God Technique seal within a five - hundred - meter radius. Anyway, it'll all be reimbursed by Konoha, so there's nothing to feel bad about. Whether they advanced or retreated later, they needed to ensure they had enough backup plans when truly outmatched.
After the setup was done, Yue Yan and the others hid and just waited for the Cloud Ninjas' supply convoy to arrive.
It was almost noon the next day when Yue Yan's [electric grid] sensed that many people were coming this way.
After Yue Yan came out of the low - consumption state, he made a few hand gestures to inform Minato and the others to get ready.
Before long, four carriages and a group of more than thirty Cloud Ninjas came into Yue Yan and the others' view.
Before the sensory ninjas on the Cloud Ninjas' side detected anything abnormal, Minato took the lead.
He threw out several [Kunai] engraved with the Flying Thunder God Technique seal and instantly appeared beside the sensory ninja using the Flying Thunder God Technique. Before the ninja could even react, Minato slit his throat.
As expected of elites, after Minato took out the first person, they reacted. More than a dozen Lightning Release jutsu rained down on Minato.
Seeing this, Minato also gave up the option of continuing to attack and teleported to a tree using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
"It's the Yellow Flash!"
After seeing Minato's appearance and this signature Flying Thunder God Technique, one of the Cloud Ninjas directly shouted to warn everyone.
Just then, a figure bathed in azure thunderbolts crashed through a carriage and rushed out.
After locking onto Minato Namikaze, the figure moved at high speed and instantly appeared in front of Minato Namikaze, swinging a punch.
Although this figure was even faster than Yue Yan in Gale Lightning Mode, it was still no match for Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique. With a flash of golden light, Minato Namikaze's figure reappeared at another location marked with the Flying Thunder God Technique.
At this time, Yue Yan and the others also walked out and stood beside Minato Namikaze.
Yue Yan sized up the newcomer. He was wearing the standard uniform of the [Cloud Ninjas], with a [Forehead Protector] on his head. He had dark skin, yellow hair tied up at the back of his head, a tuft of beard on his chin, and an extremely confident smile on his face.
This guy was none other than A, the future Fourth [Raikage]. At the same time, another figure also came to his side. Judging from the several long knives on his back, it should be Killer B, the [jinchuriki] of the Eight - Tailed Beast.
As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, A was about to say something when he heard an exclamation.
"Damn it! Lao Da!"
Everyone was attracted by these words and turned their gazes to Yue Yan.
Yue Yan didn't care about their looks at all. His eyes were firmly fixed on A.
Yue Yan clearly remembered that in his previous life, while playing a game, he was stuck at the Anbu level. He was just one win away from reaching the kage level, the closest he'd ever been to becoming a kage. But then, he was defeated three times in a row by a young guy using a character with [chakra] named Lao Da and constantly mocked.
Yue Yan was so angry that his blood rushed to his head and his vision went dark. He almost had a heart - attack.
After that, Yue Yan didn't touch the game for several weeks.
Although it was in the game before, now that he saw the real person, regardless of whether it was an old or new grudge, Yue Yan was going to let out his anger.
