After three days, Haruki arrived at the main city of the Land of Water. Kakashi and Rin's mission was to investigate the anomalies in the Land of Water.
Although Haruki knew why, he couldn't explain the source of the information. Besides, there would definitely be many cards to gain from such a large battle.
"Here they are!" While strolling back and forth at the city gate, Haruki's eyes suddenly lit up, recognizing Kakashi and Rin Nohara, both dressed as civilians.
That distinctive hairstyle was really too eye-catching.
"I remember that in the original story, it was the Land of Water ninjas who kidnapped Rin Nohara, then lured Kakashi to rescue her. So just follow Rin Nohara, otherwise, Kakashi might notice you."
Compared to Kakashi, who was already a Jonin, Haruki preferred Rin Nohara, who was only a Chunin, making it less likely to be discovered.
As expected, Kakashi and Rin Nohara split up, Kakashi went to the tavern, while Rin Nohara wandered aimlessly on the street.
"It must be them!" Looking at the three people coming out from the corner, Haruki secretly suppressed his chakra fluctuations.
The leader of the three was a Jonin, the other two were Chunin.
This lineup wasn't enough to deal with Kakashi and Haruki, but it was enough for Rin Nohara.
"Should I intervene?" Watching the three approach Rin Nohara nonchalantly, Haruki pondered in his heart.
As the trio approached Rin Nohara, Haruki shook his head: "Forget it, after the Three-Tails is sealed, I'll have Minato bring the Three-Tails back to Leaf Village!"
"Go!"
Suddenly, the three from Kirigakure burst into action, the Jonin covered Rin Nohara's nose and mouth with a cloth containing drugs, simultaneously controlling her movements.
Before Rin Nohara could react, they had successfully knocked her unconscious.
"Retreat, quickly take her to the lord." As they spoke, the trio had already left with Rin Nohara.
Most of the people on the street didn't notice their actions, even if a few people saw it, they didn't dare to speak up.
Haruki carefully observed his surroundings, but didn't find Black Zetsu, but he knew Black Zetsu must be nearby.
"Forget it, just wait for it to happen."
The plan was proceeding smoothly, Haruki swayed away from there, going to taste the seafood of the Land of Water.
Even if Uchiha Madara was faster, sealing the Three-Tails and luring Kakashi would take at least a day, Haruki wasn't in a hurry.
At this time, in Leaf Village, Minato had been disciplined by Kushina more than once.
"Tell me, what are you going to do now?"
Slamming her hand on the table, Kushina glared at Minato, asking angrily.
Minato smiled helplessly, explaining, "Don't worry, others can't contact me through the Flying Thunder God Technique, but Haruki, who has Space Talent, can. Although he can't send a message, it's enough for me to know he's in danger."
As he spoke, Minato picked up the letter Haruki left behind and looked at it, turning it over and over again, Minato couldn't find anything.
It wasn't until he turned the letter over that he saw written in small letters in the corner of the letter: "Wait for my notification, bring Kushina with you."
"Kushina, look, Haruki left a message here." Excitedly, Minato pulled Kushina over.
Kushina was about to get angry, but when she heard that it was Haruki's message, she forcibly suppressed her temper.
"You stay here, we'll go together when we get the message!" Immediately, Kushina made the decision.
Before, Kushina couldn't leave Leaf Village, but now Minato was the Hokage, although the Third Hokage was still controlling most of the power behind the scenes, he had loosened the restrictions on Kushina.
After discussing it, they decided to do as Haruki said.
They knew best that Haruki was exceptionally intelligent, and they didn't believe that Haruki would harm them, so they didn't hesitate for a moment.
The sun rose and set, and in the blink of an eye, a day had passed. Haruki stretched and walked out of the hot spring inn.
Thinking back to the gentle massage from the young lady last night, he still had a lingering feeling. If this happened in Leaf Village, Kushina would definitely break his leg!
After reminiscing, Haruki walked towards the plain fifteen kilometers west of the city with his fifty-centimeter short legs.
This was the spot he had carefully chosen last night, spending several hours.
Before leaving, Haruki specially changed into a little beggar's clothes, this was to prevent Black Zetsu from discovering him.
With his current strength, he couldn't sense Black Zetsu's spying, he could only disguise himself as a beggar to hide.
He arrived at his destination, there was no one here yet, Haruki went behind a small hill alone.
He took out a dark bun from his personal space, held it in his hand as if it were a treasure, and waited quietly for the actors to take their positions.
Haruki didn't have to wait long, dozens of Kirigakure ninjas came running from afar, chasing after Rin Nohara.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Haruki almost burst out laughing, it was really too funny.
Don't be fooled by their fierce appearance, they were all Genin, as weak as chickens.
"Rin!" Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the forest in the distance, it was Kakashi.
Kakashi's face was full of anxiety and anger, his speed was so fast that Haruki couldn't even keep up.
"Lightning Blade!"
As he charged, Kakashi's Sharingan in his left eye started to spin wildly, a blue lightning gathered in his right hand.
Where Kakashi passed, a deep ditch quietly appeared, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed into the crowd.
A bunch of Genin, in front of Kakashi, were no different from watermelons, and instantly, a dozen of them died.
"Damn, there's actually a hidden character here!" Haruki suddenly saw a Jonin chasing from afar, and immediately jumped in fright.
He hadn't noticed this person before, if he came to ambush him, the consequences...
Just as Haruki was stunned, the situation on the field had changed, Rin Nohara stared intently at the Lightning Blade in Kakashi's hand.
"Now's the time!" Immediately, Haruki used his Space Talent, channeling chakra into the kunai.
The next moment, Minato and Kushina appeared in front of him.
"Go save her!" There was no time for further explanation, Haruki shouted at Minato. Because Rin Nohara had already charged towards Kakashi, no one but Minato could stop her.
And Minato didn't hesitate, with a single glance, he understood the situation, and with a Flying Thunder God Technique, he arrived beside Kakashi, grabbed Kakashi's arm, and reversed the direction of the Lightning Blade.
With his other hand, he protected Rin Nohara, keeping her safe.
