Naruto : Minato back to the past

"When did you come back?" Kushina said, rubbing her slightly red eyes.

Minato replied, "About an hour ago."

After saying that, Minato's expression darkened and he asked, "How on earth were you captured by the Kumo Ninja and taken out of the village?"

He was puzzled. In the current Konoha, let alone C, even if the Third Raikage himself came, it would be impossible for him to sneak into Konoha so quietly, and it would be impossible for him to capture Kushina without the Konoha ninja noticing.

In addition, how did the Kumogakure know that Kushina was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

"I don't know. I just finished my training this afternoon and was walking on the way home. When I regained consciousness, I was caught by that man." Kushina frowned slightly, her big eyes full of confusion.

"So you were knocked unconscious in the middle of the fight? But before that, you didn't see anything?" Minato widened his eyes. Although Kushina's current strength cannot be considered strong, it is definitely not weak.

Even if C was fast enough, it was impossible for Kushina to not see anything.

"Well, I didn't see anything." Kushina nodded slightly.

"Is that so?" Originally Minato wanted to get some useful information from Kushina so that he could make an inference.

But now it seems that no intelligence can be obtained.

This is strange.

"I'm going to find the Hokage to report some things. Is it okay for you to stay here alone?" Minato said with a slightly frown. He was afraid that Kushina was still a little uneasy.

Kushina smiled and said, "I'm fine now, you can go now."

"Yeah." Minato nodded, and then disappeared in front of Kushina with a whoosh.

Hokage Office.

"Did Kushina really say that?" When Minato told Hiruzen about his conversation with Kushina, his expression became even heavier.

"I have no idea." After a moment, Hiruzen sighed, then looked at Minato and said, "Do you have any ideas?"

"What did the barrier squad say?"

Minato asked. Konoha was actually covered by an extra-large barrier, and the person who set up this barrier was of course Uzumaki Mito.

Once someone enters Konoha illegally and touches the barrier, the barrier squad will detect it.

"As they said, everything in the barrier was normal and no signs of intrusion were found," said Hiruzen.

Minato figured that to be able to penetrate Konoha's protective barrier without being detected would require extremely high fuinjutsu skills, or a very good understanding of Konoha's barrier.

This was enough to trigger his memory. On the night of the Nine-Tails incident, a masked man broke into Konoha when the Konoha ninjas were caught off guard.

However, his body seemed to be able to become intangible, so this barrier could not stop him.

"Hokage, I think Kushina's kidnapping was definitely not an accident!" Minato said, staring at Hiruzen.

"What do you mean?" Hiruzen's eyelids sank.

Minato looked at the Hokage, suddenly knelt down, and said with a heavy expression: "I have to apologize to you first. When I was carrying out this mission, I took the initiative to save a little girl from Kiri."

"What's Happen?" Hiruzen's expression suddenly became solemn, but he was not blaming Minato.

"Did the mission failed?"

Hiruzen said that the former was obviously asking for forgiveness from him.

"That's not the case."

Minato shook his head and told Hiruzen everything he saw and heard during his infiltration into the Hidden Mist Village without reservation.

This included the time when he was escorting Terumi Mei back to her family and was ambushed.

"A barrier that can seal chakra!?" When Hiruzen heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank, as if he remembered something, and his already slightly wrinkled, grim face twitched violently.

"Second Hokage!!"

He pondered in his heart, but then denied it again: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Minato observed Hiruzen's expression and it seemed that what he was thinking was the same as what he was thinking.

"As far as I know, there are only three people who can cast this kind of barrier." Hiruzen calmed his heart a little.

"But these three people are all dead."

"The First Hokage, Lord Uzumaki Mito, and Lord Uchiha Madara?" Minato said, staring at Hiruzen.

Hiruzen nodded and said, "Yes, apart from these three people, even I can't set up this kind of barrier."

"Are you sure that Uchiha Madara died in the Valley of the End?"

Minato immediately said, this is exactly what he wanted to ask, although everyone knows about the battle between the first Hokage and Uchiha Madara, but is the ending really as the world knows?

Now even he, the fourth Hokage, is not sure.

"Of course, this was witnessed by the First and Second Hokage. Madara's body was buried by the First Hokage himself."

Hiruzen's emotions were also a little up and down, but he was sure that Madara was dead.

"Is that so?"

Minato's eyes gradually darkened after he confirmed that the person who ambushed him, kidnapped Kushina, and manipulated the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha Village was not Madara.

So who did these three things?

And, was it the same person who did it?

"Could it be the descendants of the Uzumaki clan? How could they be in collusion with the Kirigakure!?"

Hiruzen also didn't understand. the Kirigakure was involved in the destruction of the Vortex Country.

These numerous mysteries troubled both Minato and Hiruzen.

Neither of them could figure it out.

"Then, how did you escape?" asked the Hokage. The barrier was able to seal chakra, and Minato couldn't even use the Flying Thunder God Technique. He was very curious about how this little guy managed to escape unscathed.

Minato did not try to hide it, and said: "Kushina taught me the Uzumaki clan's Fuinjutsu , I know the weakness of this barrier."

What Minato said was not a lie in any sense.

Hiruzen's pupils shrank slightly. Being able to break this barrier meant that his barrier skills were not inferior to those of the person who set up the barrier for him.

This monstrous little fellow even mastered the Uzumaki clan's Fuinjutsu .

"Hokage-sama, will Kushina be isolated and monitor again?"

Minato asked, after something like this happened, the village's protection of the Jinchūriki was inevitable.

Hiruzen chuckled and said, "The two consultants did ask me this just now, but I rejected it."

"Since the enemy was able to take Kushina away from the village quietly, it would be meaningless to isolate her. Besides, I believe that there is no ninja in Konoha who is more qualified to protect Kushina than you. I will try my best to arrange for you and her to carry out missions together in the future."

This was Hiruzen full trust in Minato, because after this incident, he knew that no matter what danger Kushina encountered, the little guy in front of him would rush to her side as soon as possible.

Once upon a time, the second hokage protected them in the same way.

Minato couldn't help but look happy, but Hiruzen's expression changed again, looking at the former, he asked in a deep voice:

"I want to ask you, what do you think about the argument that happened in front of Kushina's house today?"
