After hearing Minato's words, Jiraiya's face twitched. What he said made so much sense that he was speechless.
Minato had found a new use for the Flying Thunder God Technique. In the future, if he couldn't make it as a ninja, opening a delivery service would be a good idea. He would definitely deliver in the shortest time possible.
Seeing Jiraiya's expression, Minato didn't bother him further and threw the chicken's rear end to him.
"Gekko, do you want some?" Minato asked.
"Thank you," Hayate Gekko's cool face softened slightly.
Seeing this, Minato didn't say much and directly tore off a piece and threw it to him.
Soon, the four of them finished eating and rested for a while to replenish their stamina.
"We'll follow the same groups as before. This time, try to search in more hidden places. If you find the enemy, remember not to charge in alone. Retreat and regroup before attacking. If you can't retreat, remember to send a signal."
Before they left, Jiraiya once again gave a solemn instruction.
Minato and Mikoto Uchiha set out again, this time specifically heading towards deserted and places that were not easily accessible to ordinary people.
This time, they came to a cliff.
"Stop! Wait!"
At this moment, Minato stopped Mikoto Uchiha, who was about to continue searching.
Because he had discovered a trap, a ninja's trap.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that there was a situation, Mikoto Uchiha quickly and cautiously approached Minato and asked.
Minato didn't speak, but pointed to the trap.
Only after searching several times did Mikoto Uchiha find the trap Minato was pointing at.
She was shocked. Such a hidden trap, even with Minato pointing it out, she had to search for a long time to find it, which showed how well it was hidden.
But on the other hand, it also showed Minato's keen observation skills, to have discovered such a hidden trap while on the move.
"Wait for me here. I'll go confirm the situation. If I'm sure it's our target, I'll come back and find Teacher Jiraiya with you."
Minato whispered in Mikoto Uchiha's ear. At the same time, he left a Flying Thunder God formula under her.
"Yeah," Mikoto Uchiha replied, enduring the ticklish feeling in her ear.
Only after Minato left did she breathe a sigh of relief. If Minato were here, he would definitely have noticed Mikoto Uchiha's blushing face.
Touching her ear, the ripples from just now made Mikoto Uchiha's heart pound wildly. The way they had interacted just now was too ambiguous, and her ears were very sensitive.
Enduring the shyness in her heart, Mikoto Uchiha carefully observed the surroundings. Minato had no idea how much trouble his unintentional action had caused for Mikoto Uchiha.
"My goodness, this group of people are definitely not ordinary ninjas. They are definitely ninjas from the five great nations," Minato was a little scared as he looked at the various traps along the way.
If it were someone else, they would have definitely triggered the traps and alerted that group of people.
He cautiously arrived at the entrance of a cave and found at least 6-7 people there, all of whom seemed to be quite skilled. They were the target of this trip.
Seeing that he had found these guys, Minato cautiously returned the way he came, not daring to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, for fear that the use of chakra would be discovered by the people inside.
"How was it? Was it that group of people?" Seeing Minato return, Mikoto Uchiha tried her best to act as if nothing had happened.
"Yes, it's that group of people. We'll go back immediately, find Teacher Jiraiya, and then take them all out in one fell swoop," Minato nodded and returned to the cave with Mikoto Uchiha to wait for Jiraiya's return.
"What's wrong?" After returning, Minato noticed that Mikoto Uchiha had been acting awkwardly and couldn't help but ask.
"N-nothing," Mikoto Uchiha stammered. She couldn't possibly tell him that because of the awkwardness just now, she found it a little difficult to face him alone in the cave. Looking at Minato, she knew that he had been unintentional just now.
"Oh, if you have any problems, remember to speak up so that everyone can solve them together," Minato scratched his head helplessly. A girl's mind is really hard to guess. She was fine just now, and now she's acting so coy.
After two hours, Jiraiya returned on time.
"Pervy Toad, I've found their tracks. There are 6-7 of them," as soon as they met, Minato reported his findings.
Jiraiya, who had been annoyed by his lack of results, immediately perked up and had Minato lead the way.
After a dozen or so minutes, they arrived at the bandits' hiding place.
"Follow me. They've set up a lot of traps outside," with his previous experience, Minato very easily led Jiraiya and the others to the entrance of the cave.
"Now let's listen to their plan. Anyway, they're like turtles in a jar. We can catch them whenever we want," Jiraiya made a gesture, and the others nodded in agreement.
They began to prick up their ears and listen to the conversation of the people inside.
