Chapter 727

The same was true for Nohara Rin.

Even...

The three of them often met, and even went on outings and picnics together.

However, it was a pity.

These happy days passed quickly; on a sunny morning, just as Uchiha Jin was waking up lazily, preparing to lie in the courtyard and bask in the sun, Namikaze Minato's arrival broke it all.

"Hmm, Minato-aniki."

"It seems things are progressing smoothly with Danzo; how should we act next?"

Uchiha Jin narrowed his eyes.

After inviting Namikaze Minato to sit down, he poured him a cup of tea and couldn't help but smile as he spoke.

Yes.

He knew very well.

Unless there was something particularly important, Namikaze Minato wouldn't come to visit him.

There was no helping it!

Unlike in the original work.

The Uchiha and the Hokage faction had now completely torn off the mask.

As a core member of the Hokage faction, Namikaze Minato still needed Sarutobi Hiruzen's strong support before he could truly ascend to the position of Fourth Hokage.

If he got too close to him at this stage, who knows what Sarutobi Hiruzen would think.

So.

Since he was here now, it must be for official business.

And that was indeed the case.

Upon hearing this, Namikaze Minato showed no surprise.

He just looked at Uchiha Jin with a smile, drained his teacup in one gulp, and then nodded as he spoke.

"Yes, that's right."

"I just received notice from the Hokage-sama; the Third Raikage has already begun to act."

"Next, it's our turn!"

Uchiha Jin nodded: "When do we depart?"

"Now!" Namikaze Minato said.

Uh.

Hearing this, he was instantly stunned.

Good heavens!

Although he had mentally prepared himself, wasn't this a bit too urgent?

Seeing Jin's stunned expression, Namikaze Minato explained.

"The members of the Root don't have the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"The distance between the Cloud front and Konoha is too great, and messages rely entirely on a single ninja hawk."

"Calculating by the speed of the ninja hawk, the Third Raikage set off yesterday; he might even have reached the Land of Lightning by now."

"So, to avoid accidents."

"We naturally have to get there as soon as possible, otherwise it won't be good if variables arise."

Uchiha Jin looked enlightened.

So that's how it was!

Learning that this matter was so urgent, and having already promised Namikaze Minato, he naturally didn't waste any words.

He let Namikaze Minato wait at home for a moment, then went to see Hyuga Aya, bid her a brief farewell, went to Fugaku's house to give some simple instructions on what to do after he left, and then returned to his own home.

He glanced at Namikaze Minato, who was drinking tea, and then said in a serious tone.

"Alright!"

"We can go now."

Namikaze Minato nodded.

He wasn't the type to waste words either; he stood up immediately, placed his right hand on Jin, and directly used the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Almost in an instant.

When Uchiha Jin opened his eyes again, he found himself in the middle of a dense mountain range.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is truly useful!

Afterward.

Under Namikaze Minato's guidance, he found a cave in a mountain hollow.

After setting up some simple traps, the two sat cross-legged in the cave.

Namikaze Minato said with a smile.

"Jin-kun, let's rest for a bit."

"This is a location agreed upon with the Root; we need to wait for the Root personnel to arrive."

"They will take us there when the time comes; for now, all we need to do is wait."

Uchiha Jin naturally had no objections.

This time.

He wasn't in charge of the team, so naturally, he was too lazy to worry about it.

Just follow Namikaze Minato.

So.

He didn't care about these things and instead asked about something else.

"Minato-aniki."

"Since we are about to start the mission, shouldn't we go over the mission briefing?"

"Other than knowing we have to deal with the Third Raikage, I don't know anything else!"

Yes.

Perhaps he could choose not to care about other things.

But now they were on a mission, and any small mistake could lead to big problems.

So.

He at least needed to have a clear idea of the specific situation regarding this mission.

However.

Upon hearing this, Namikaze Minato looked surprised.

"Jin-kun, you don't know?"

"But that's not right; don't you Uchiha have the Nara clan?"

"This mission is a strategy proposed by Nara Shikaku himself."

"The Nara clan defected to you, and they didn't even mention this?"

Yes.

He didn't understand!

After all, everyone in Konoha knew that half of the Ino-Shika-Cho had defected to the Uchiha.

It was precisely because of this that Namikaze Minato hadn't bothered to introduce it.

After all, in his view, Uchiha Jin must have known!

However, regarding this.

Uchiha Jin rolled his eyes and then said helplessly: "The Ino-Shika-Cho that defected to me and Nara Shikaku are not the same thing."

"The Nara clan on my side knows nothing about the intelligence from Nara Shikaku's side."

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato looked stunned.

This was so complicated!

He said he didn't understand.

But, forget it.

There would be plenty of time to understand these things when they got back; for now, the most important thing was naturally the mission. ===== CHAPTER 728 =====
