Chapter 117: The Art of Flying Thunder Formation (Part 1)

Namikaze Minato insisted on doing so, and Nono couldn't disobey.

She had no choice but to agree and put away her kunai, but deep down she didn't agree with the idea of ​​the Hokage taking risks, so although she agreed on the surface, she had other thoughts.

She hoped that everything would go well. She was confident that even if she couldn't get away, she could at least send back information...

After finalizing the matter, Namikaze Minato quickly arranged to escort Nono to Kumogakure. Just like the previous time in Chaoyangye, in order to avoid Danzo's eyes and ears and keep it as secret as possible, he directly called the Shadow Guards over.

Not long after, except for Shisui who had special arrangements, all the members of the Shadow Guards gathered together.

The three of them bowed first, and before the captain Genma spoke, Die Iwashi couldn't wait to look at Namikaze Minato: "Hokage, are you finally going to the front line?"

No wonder he thought so. There were recent rumors in the village that the Konoha Rock Ninja was in a tense war in the Grass Country and would soon increase its troops.

Pah.

As soon as he finished speaking, Die Iwashi's head was patted by the person behind him, stopping his behavior.

Shiranui Genjian ignored the two guys and said seriously: "Hokage, all members of the Shadow Guard except Uchiha Shisui are assembled here."

Namikaze Minato glanced at the three people, then smiled and nodded.

Under his guidance, the Genma team is currently improving rapidly, and when getting along with them, Namikaze Minato also has a unique affinity and is very close to everyone, so he doesn't mind playing around appropriately.

Of course, he will still be serious when it's time to be serious.

"There is an urgent top-secret mission for you."

Minato Namikaze pointed to Nono, who was wearing a full set of ANBU costumes and a mask, and continued: "Please be sure to escort this ANBU to the Land of Lightning as quickly as possible."

"She has a special intelligence mission and needs to sneak into the Hidden Cloud Village."

After hearing Minato Namikaze's brief introduction, Nono came forward and greeted the three people of Xuanjian politely: "Anbu, Haru. Sorry for bothering you."

"The mission is urgent. If possible, I hope to set off soon."

The soft female voice came from under the mask. Although the three people of Xuanjian were a little curious about what kind of mission it was that required the ANBU to sneak into the Hidden Cloud Village, since Minato Namikaze said it was a top-secret mission, they didn't ask any more questions.

"I see. Since it's an urgent mission, let's set off after a little preparation.

Why don't we gather at the entrance of the village in half an hour..."

Shiranui Genjian has a strong ability to read people's expressions and quickly understood the importance of the matter. Without any hesitation, he directly set the fastest departure time.

Baizu Leitong and Die Iwashi, of course, had no objection.

Nono nodded and stopped talking.

At this time, Minato Namikaze glanced at everyone and gave the final instructions: "Genjian, the situation in the country of lightning is complicated now. This escort may be difficult, so it is very likely that your ability will be used."

"In short, please do your best to assist Haru..."

Hearing what the Hokage said, Genjian and the other two suddenly understood why they were specially asked to perform the escort mission.

Shiranui Genjian looked at Minato Namikaze's serious expression and his face also became cautious.

After receiving the order, the three of them, together with Nono, quickly left the Hokage's office together.

After Nono left, Namikaze Minato returned to his seat and glanced at the neatly arranged documents on the table. He suddenly realized a problem. With such an excellent secretary gone, he seemed to be busy again.

He laughed at himself and couldn't help complaining. It was really hard to be diligent, but easy to be lazy...

...

Two days later.

At the border of the Frost Country, the Genma team and Nono stood on the top of a snow-covered mountain, looking into the distance.

At the horizon, you can see continuous peaks and lakes. The towering mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist, and you can vaguely see blue light flashing occasionally.

Among the four people, only Nono knew that the bursts of blue light were actually lightning. After all, she was different from Xuanjian and the other three who had never been to the Land of Thunder. This was not her first time to the Land of Thunder. During the Root period, she had the experience of sneaking into the territory of the Land of Thunder. These experiences and the basis of the disguised identity she had left behind were also part of her confidence in completing the task.

"I heard that most of the villages in the Land of Lightning are built on the peaks. It's unbelievable..." Bingzu Leitong took off his hood and suddenly sighed.

"Yeah, if it were me, I couldn't stand living in the mountains for the rest of my life."

Dieyiwashi was also amazed at the special geographical environment of the Land of Lightning.

Behind the two, Yakushi Nono was wearing a light white cloak and a hood like everyone else. As for the Anbu's outfit, it was actually changed yesterday. After all, they were about to reach the territory of Kumogakure, and it was inappropriate to continue wearing Konoha uniforms.

Knowing that the infiltration mission was about to begin, Nono's dark green eyes under the lens were a little complicated, and the right hand inside the cloak subconsciously took out the Flying Thunder God Kunai. Her breath was a little disordered now. In order to quickly reach Kumogakure, they had been traveling almost day and night these two days. Because of this, the group was able to reach the border of the Land of Lightning in just over two days.

Having not experienced battles for several years, her physical fitness has naturally deteriorated.

"You two, now is not the time to relax." Shiranui Genjian's helpless voice came.

As the captain of the team, Genjian still has responsibilities.

He did not relax like Die Iwashi and the others when they saw that they were about to reach their destination.

Just now, he used the perception ninjutsu first, carefully and repeatedly confirmed the surrounding environment many times, and then came over to chat with everyone. The closer you are to completing the mission, the more you cannot let down your guard.

This is also the reason why Shiranui Genjian, although he is usually leisurely, is cautious and responsible during the mission, and can serve as the captain.

"Senior Qing, we are about to enter the Land of Thunder. How do you plan to sneak in?"

Xuanjian looked at Nono at this time, smiled faintly, and then asked respectfully: "I'm afraid the task you are carrying is much heavier than ours?"

"Since we are under the order of Lord Hokage, we will spare no effort to assist you."

According to Minato Namikaze, Xuanjian and the other two will focus on Nono in this escort mission. So before entering the Land of Thunder, Shiranui Xuanjian also wanted to know Nono's next plan, so that he could better cooperate with her.

Under the light white cloak, Yakushi Nono calmly put away the Flying Thunder God Kunai.

He also turned to a serious face and said: "According to my guess, the border of the Land of Thunder is probably under strict defense now."

"After a short rest, we will start to change into camouflage, and then slow down the speed of movement, while reconnaissance into the territory of the Land of Thunder."
