Chapter 196 - 196 (1/2)
The Hyuga Ninja, named Kenichi, rushed back to Konoha, running straight to the 3rd's office.
After the guard confirmed his identity at the entrance, he took his straight to the Hokage.
At this time, The 3rd, Jiraya and Minato were all in the office, and Kenichi who entered through the door felt under great pressure in the presence of all of them.
Minato said with his signature smile: ”Don't be nervous! You can say what you want to the Hokage sama!”
Minato's comforting made the Ninja feel a lot more at ease. He gratefully bowed to him, and then reported what he saw to the 3rd.
”Hokage sama, I was on patrol around the southern borders of the Fire Country today, and I've detected the presence of a potential Biju.”
”What?” The 3rd's face changed heavily. Jiraya and Minato also were gloomy as they exchanged looks.
”Kenichi, how many tails does it have? Did you get an estimation of its Chakra levels?” Jiraya asked.
”Jiraya sama, it actually has only one tail, but more Chakra then the Gobi when I saw it last time!” The Hyuga answered.
”What? Then, it is not a Biju?” Jiraya felt that this disproportion was rather strange.
”Hokage sama, Jiraya sensei, let me go and check this out!” Minato volunteered to investigate the matter.
”Yeah, that's a good idea. With your Flying Thunder God, you can escape immediately in case things turn ugly.” Jiraya agreed.
”Alright! Kenichi, you go with Minato, and show his the exact location!” the 3rd also agreed.
Minato nodded, and placed on hand on Kenichi's shoulder and prepared to use his Teleportation Barrier to get to the southern borders of the Fire Country.
”Hold on one minute! You should take Kushina along, just to be on the safe side!” The 3rd stopped Minato.
The latter was actually reluctant to put Kushina in danger, so he just wanted to reject the request. However, the 3rd continued: ”Don't forget, Minato is now the Kyubi's perfect Jinchuriki. In brute power, she actually surpasses you!”
His words left Minato no space to argue, and he could only pass by the 3rd Training Ground to pick up Kushina before the two went along with Kenichi Hyuga to the southern borders of the Fire Country.
”Minato, what's wrong? Why did you bring me here so suddenly?” Minato actually did not explain anything to Kushina before bringing her to the borders.
”Kushina, this Hyuga Ninja had discovered the existence of a suspected Biju while on patrol. The Hokage Sama asked me to investigate the matter with you!” Minato explained.
”A Biju? With how many tails?” When Kushina heard of the Biju on the borders she immediately remembered Korin.
Last time, Korin and Kurama caused a massive explosion on the woods on the borders. Kushina was still feeling some guilt about that!
”Normally, it has one tail, but it has more Chakra than the Gobi! That's why we can't be sure that it's a Biju.”
Kushina's eyebrows rose; this was indeed Korin!
Seeing Kushina's face and instantly realized that things were not so simple; it was obvious that she knew something!
