"Good kid. Looks like I underestimated your chakra reserves, bringing one person so far in one go." At the front line, Jiraiya was shocked by how much chakra Minato had.
"Who is it?"
When Jiraiya and Minato suddenly appeared in the camp, Tsunade and Orochimaru sensed someone had suddenly broken in and rushed out.
"Jiraiya? So fast?"
Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya with a shocked expression. How long had it been? By his calculations, even if Jiraiya traveled at full speed, he should have needed three days to get here.
Tsunade looked at Minato, who had appeared with Jiraiya, and knew the answer in her heart.
"Let's not talk about that. What's the situation now?"
Jiraiya directly changed the subject; he needed to know the front-line situation.
"The situation is stable for now. Hanzō of the Salamander hasn't taken action personally, but I estimate he won't be able to hold back for much longer."
Tsunade took over, explaining the current situation to Jiraiya. It was best to keep Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique a secret if possible. After all, there were many people around, and it wouldn't be good if word got out.
Because it would be pointless to issue an A-rank or S-rank gag order for this. After all, Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique would sooner or later be known by the entire ninja world.
"Minato, you can go back. Next, if you three need to do missions, you can act independently. With you leading the team, I'm relieved." Jiraiya walked back to Minato's side and patted his shoulder.
Minato nodded and then silently walked out of the camp. When he arrived, no one had noticed. Now that he was leaving, he couldn't just disappear in front of everyone.
Otherwise, wouldn't that go against Jiraiya and Tsunade's deliberate efforts to cover for him?
After walking out of the Konoha camp and sensing that no one was paying attention, Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to Konoha. The Flying Thunder God Technique really made traveling convenient.
As long as there was a coordinate, he could reach any place in an instant.
"You're back so soon?" Mikoto was a little surprised. She knew how far the front line was from here, yet Minato had gone and come back so quickly.
If she knew that Minato had stayed there for a while, and then had to travel a distance to avoid being seen before returning, she would probably be even more surprised.
"Haha, that little distance is manageable for my chakra. Come on, accompany me to the weapon shop."
Minato first boasted proudly, then pulled Mikoto and Kushina along towards the weapon shop.
It was time to get his special three-pronged kunai made. Otherwise, when the second stage of the Flying Thunder God was unlocked, it would be awkward if his kunai weren't ready.
"Boss, I need to custom-order some kunai." After entering the weapon shop, Minato called out directly to the owner.
"Customer, do you have any specific requirements for the custom kunai?" The shop owner walked over to Minato and asked.
Minato took a piece of paper out of his clothes. Drawn on it was the official design for the three-pronged kunai, as well as the required materials, etc.
"I wonder if you can make this." Minato asked after handing over the blueprint.
The shop owner took the blueprint, looked at it in detail, and then gave Minato a positive answer. It was just that because some of the materials were special, he might not be able to make a large quantity.
"Is that so... Then what's the maximum you can make right now, and when can they be finished?" Minato pondered for a moment after hearing this and then asked.
"With the materials in the shop, I can make 100 at most. No more. I can finish them in about 3 days." The shop owner gave a precise time and quantity.
That's a good number. That's enough for me to use, Minato thought to himself.
"Alright, 100 it is. I'll pick them up in three days. How much will it cost?"
"I've estimated it. It's about 2,000 ryō each. The price for 100 is 200,000 ryō." The shop owner told Minato the price he had calculated.
"Here's a 20,000 ryō deposit. I'll bring the rest of the money when I pick them up in three days." Minato said, handing all the money he had on him to the shop owner.
Minato didn't usually carry that much money, but he had specially brought 20,000 ryō for the kunai.
It turned out he could get 100, needing 200,000 ryō. Fortunately, with Minato's current worth, 200,000 ryō was easy to come by.
"Then I'll gladly accept. You can pick them up in three days, customer." The shop owner wrote out a receipt for Minato.
"I might not be in Konoha in 3 days. If I'm not here then, let this girl pick them up." Minato said, pointing to Kushina.
He didn't know if he would have a mission in 3 days, so he arranged it in advance, just in case he really wasn't in the village and the shop owner thought he didn't want them anymore.
"No problem." The shop owner indicated it wasn't an issue. An order for 200,000 ryō was a decent-sized order, so the shop owner was very enthusiastic towards Minato.
