chief Katsumi, who was always observing Kushina's expression, saw her expression and immediately asked, "Sir Ninja, do you know what this beast is?"
Kushina nodded, and then said, "Old man, if possible, can you please leave first, I want to discuss something with my disciples."
"Okay, thank you for your help!"
The Village chief nodded and walked out of the house with Keito.
After the two left, she said to Chika: "This time we are in trouble!"
"How big of a problem is this?"
He was already prepared from Kushina's unpleasant expression.
She explained: "This beast is called the Red Rock Pig. It is the summoned beast of a small family in the Rock Village of the Land of Earth."
"Spiritual beast? Land of Earth?"
Upon hearing this, his face became serious. This place was not far from Konoha Village, and a summoned beast from the Iwagakure Village had appeared. The seriousness of this matter was much greater.
The unique summoning beast of the Iwagakure appeared here, which meant that there was a team of Iwagakure nearby.
Ninjas always act in teams and rarely act alone.
But if he came alone, it would be even more troublesome, because it meant that he was extremely powerful!
"From Keito's description of the size of this red rock pig, it should be at the level of a Chunin, so I think his master is not much different."
Kushina had already rejected the possibility that the Iwa-nin was a human.
The strength of most summoned beasts is linked to the strength of the ninja itself. For example, Naruto can summon the Toad Boss while he is still a Genin. In simple terms, it is cheating!
"Damn it! What are those ninjas patrolling the border doing? A team of rock ninjas were able to sneak into the heart of the Land of Fire without making any noise."
Kushina couldn't help but slam the table and yelled.
"A bunch of rubbish! People have already arrived at the village gate, but they haven't reacted at all!"
"When I get back, I'm going to have the old men deduct their entire year's salary!"
Kushina scolded the group of border ninjas for half an hour and also scolded Minato who was at the border of the Land of Lightning, threatening to teach Minato a lesson when she returned.
Chika had reason to believe that Kushina was taking advantage of the situation. Because the mission was urgent, Minato left the village in a hurry without even having time to apologize to Kushina, which made Kushina angry for a long time.
During this time, he had already become familiar with the crow in his arms and was taking out dry food to feed the crow.
Seeing that Kushina was still angry and wanted to scold others a few more times, he said in a low voice:
"Kushina-sensei, now is not the time to scold them. The key is what should we do next?"
"Huh, you're right." Kushina calmed down, holding her chin with one hand and thinking: "What we need to consider now is what the other party came here with so much difficulty, what is the purpose, assassination, sabotage of supplies or gathering intelligence."
Although the war is over, the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire have not yet resumed diplomatic relations. If ninjas from the two countries appear in each other's country and are discovered, they will be at their own risk for life and death.
"Could it be?"
Chika was also thinking about the purpose of this team of rock ninjas. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly said in surprise: "Could they be lost?!"
"Stupid, don't talk nonsense and disrupt your teacher's thinking!"
She had thought that her disciple had discovered something, but she had not expected such a perfunctory answer, and she immediately punched him on the head.
"Isn't this a way to liven up this tense atmosphere?"
He grinned and rubbed his forehead. Seeing that Kushina wanted to beat him again, he quickly said, "Information, they are here to obtain information!"
He had thought a lot in the half hour that Kushina had been cursing.
Kushina put down her fist, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "How did you know?"
"Firstly, the supply destroyers can be eliminated, there is no need to travel so close to Konoha in the heart of the Land of Fire.
"As for the assassination, according to our mission, this village had already seen the Red Rock Pig five days ago, so we can conclude that they have been here for at least five days.
"For five days, they have not made any moves in this hidden mountain. Obviously, they are not trying to sneak into Konoha to assassinate. So, they can only be waiting here for their intelligence personnel to sneak into Konoha!"
"You're quite good at this!"
After listening to his explanation, Kushina suddenly looked at Chika carefully as if she had just met him.
"What's wrong, Kushina-sensei?"
Looking at Kushina who was silent, he asked puzzledly.
At this moment, Kushina suddenly had a murderous look on her face. She moved her hand, and a cold light flashed in an instant. The next moment, a kunai was placed across Chika's neck.
Feeling the cold touch on his neck, He froze.
The crow in his arms was also startled, and then it cried softly, as if warning Kushina.
Kushina said coldly: "Tell me, who are you and what did you do to my lovely disciple?"
"Stop it, Kushina-sensei!"
He rolled his eyes in annoyance and pushed Kushina's kunai away.
If he hadn't seen a sly look in Kushina's eyes, he would have been frightened by her and almost kneeled down and shouted, "My Lord, spare my life! I am truly your beloved disciple!"
"Haha, I was just trying to liven up the atmosphere." Seeing Chika's appearance, Kushina patted his head in a familiar manner and teased, "I saw your legs tremble a little!"
Chika: 'Not only are my legs shaking, you almost scared me to pee.'
Seeing that he was a little unhappy, Kushina quickly praised him: "But I really didn't expect that you could analyze so many things. Very good!"
he frowned, slapped Kushina's hand away, and muttered: "Kushina-sensei, if you use your brain more and don't focus all your attention on Minato-senpai, you will be able to analyze it."
This is really simple, but Kushina, who doesn't like to think, didn't think of it.
"Now that we know their purpose, we should think about what to do next!"
Ignoring his sarcasm, Kushina fell into deep thought again.
If she was alone, she wouldn't think so much and would just rush forward, no matter whether it was one or two teams of Rock Ninjas. She would just fight them as soon as they met. If she couldn't defeat them, escaping shouldn't be a problem.
But now she has Chika, her first disciple, and she likes this disciple very much.
"Kushina-sensei, there is one more thing I haven't said yet!"
After being scared by Kushina just now, he has almost forgotten that there was another important piece of information.
"What else do you know?"
Kushina was stunned when she heard this. She was already surprised that Chika could analyze why they came here, but she didn't expect there was another reason.
"I also know that the other party may not be that strong!"
"Oh? How did you determine that?"
Kushina was a little unconvinced on this point.
