Chapter 356 Helplessness in War

"Why didn't I see Dousuke when I came? But the girl under his command is really capable! She arranged things in an orderly manner." Namikaze Minato praised Baigusa whom he had just seen to Jiraiya.

"Teacher Jiraiya, we won!" Seeing that Jiraiya still looked uninterested, Minato Namikaze repeated the victory again.

"You may not see Dousuke anymore," Jiraiya said expressionlessly with his eyes closed while lying on the hospital bed.

"???" After hearing Jiraiya's words, Minato Namikaze didn't react for a moment.

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Namikaze Minato asked again, not understanding.

"After you left, Dousuke and his men met Hanzo!! In order to allow his subordinates to deliver the scarce supplies, Dousuke stayed behind alone to cover their retreat," Jiraiya said briefly and clearly.

"What!!" When Minato Namikaze heard Jiraiya's words, his eyes widened instantly, his mouth opened slightly, and he looked incredulous.

If this news hadn't come from his teacher Jiraiya.

Even if you beat him to death, Minato Namikaze would not admit it.

But he knew his teacher would not joke about such things.

"Damn it, if I had left a little later!!" After calming down a little, Minato Namikaze clenched his fists.

"Teacher, I will go to support Dousuke right away!" Namikaze Minato whispered to Jiraiya.

"Take good care of Teacher Jiraiya!" Namikaze Minato instructed Hetai who was helping Jiraiya apply medicine and bandage.

Then, Minato Namikaze turned around and was about to walk out of the tent.

"Minato!!" When Minato Namikaze's hand was about to touch the curtain of the tent, Jiraiya called out to him.

"?? Teacher?" When Minato Namikaze heard Jiraiya calling him, he thought Jiraiya was telling him to be careful.

"Don't worry, teacher, I've been to the place where Dousuke and the others were ambushed! I will be careful." Namikaze Minato said confidently.

"Minato, I want you not to go!" Jiraiya's words made Minato Namikaze stunned.

"Teacher, what are you talking about?" Minato Namikaze looked at Jiraiya with an incomprehensible expression.

"Minato, Zusuke is just a medical ninja. With Hanzo's ability, it is impossible for Zusuke to wait for you to rescue him." Jiraiya sat up and looked at Minato Namikaze helplessly.

"Now is the time when Konoha and Iwagakure have just won. The high-level fighters of Iwagakure, Huang Tu, Suma Shi, Dong Si Ren and others were not seriously injured. Except for the demon leech who has been killed by me, the others have not completely lost their combat effectiveness."

"The most important thing now is to consolidate Konoha's victory. Minato, if you leave the Konoha camp now, once Huang Tu and others attack, and you are not in the Konoha camp, I will be seriously injured now!" Jiraiya paused.

What's more, even if Minato Namikaze rushed over now, it would be in vain.

It would be better to ensure the safety of the Konoha camp and then put pressure on the Hidden Rain Village and find a way to get Okamoto Dousuke back from the Hidden Rain Village.

From the last time Hanzo went to the Konoha camp to ask for the formula of the healing potion, Jiraiya was able to deduce that Okamoto Dousuke was most likely not in danger of his life.

"Minato, don't act on impulse. I will be more heartbroken than anyone else if something happens to Zusuke! But you have to consider the overall situation!" Jiraiya said to Minato Namikaze word by word.

That's right, when Okamoto Dousuke encountered an accident, Jiraiya was more anxious than Namikaze Minato, not only because Okamoto Dousuke once called him teacher, but also because he was Tsunade's disciple.

When the Konohagakure Ninja Army set out for the Iwagakure front this time, Jiraiya had promised Tsunade with all his heart.

Even if it costs my own life, I will ensure Okamoto Dousuke's safety.

But he didn't want to see this kind of thing happening now.

"Teacher!!" Minato Namikaze looked at Jiraiya and shouted loudly.

"Minato, you are responsible for the thousands of Konoha ninjas present here." There was no trace of emotion on Jiraiya's face.

"I, I understand!" After saying that, Minato Namikaze lifted the door curtain and walked towards the distance without looking back.

"Minato..." Looking at the departing back of Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya felt lonely and lay down again in an instant.

Sometimes reality is just so helpless, let alone in the crisis-ridden Ninja World.

Sometimes you have to make decisions against your will.

After leaving the tent, Minato Namikaze walked straight towards the Hyuga family's camp.

"Lord Minato!" Seeing Minato Namikaze coming over.

Hinata Souma was the first to meet him.

"Pick out a few reliable subordinates. I need you to go to the territory of Rain Country to search for the whereabouts of Dousuke." Seeing Hinata Souma, Namikaze Minato didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose.

"Lord Dousuke?" Hinata Souma thought for a while.

"I understand! I'll go there myself." Seeing Namikaze Minato's serious expression and hearing that it involved Okamoto Dousuke and Hinata Souma, he immediately said that he would lead the team there personally.

"Take this. If you find any situation, don't act rashly and contact me immediately. Do you understand?" Namikaze Minato took out a Flying Thunder God Kunai and handed it to Hinata Souma.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, Lord Minato!!" Hinata Souma nodded.

As for why they looked for people from the Hyuga family, one reason was because the Hyuga family's Byakugan was a natural eye technique suitable for searching for information and finding people.

The second reason is that Okamoto Dousuke once told Namikaze Minato in the Konoha camp that the members of this branch of the Hyuga family are completely trustworthy.

After giving the instructions, Minato Namikaze returned to the command tent.

By the way, after Minato Namikaze made arrangements for the Hyuga family.

Hinata Souma immediately took a few trusted men and rushed to the location Minato mentioned.

Whoosh whoosh! !

Hinata Souma and three Hyuga ninjas had exposed veins on their temples.

The four people worked in pairs, taking turns to open their Byakugan and searched the road for the whereabouts of Okamoto Dousuke or the Rain Ninja.

"Lord Souma!! Something's happening!" Suddenly the ninja with his eyes open on the left shouted loudly.

"What's wrong!" Hinata Souma asked hurriedly.

"It seems to be Lord Dousuke!!" The ninja from the Hyuga family hesitated and said uncertainly.

"Open your Byakugan!" Hinata Souma immediately opened his Byakugan.

"Yes, it is Lord Dousuke." Hinata Souma said excitedly.

Whoosh! A sharp sound cut through the silence of the forest.
