"What! Are you telling the truth?" Kushina's eyes widened, she could hardly believe it.
Then, Kushina suddenly thought of something, her little face turned to the side, and said, "Grandma Mito told me before that you would use evil chakra to corrode people's hearts, so I won't fall for it!"
"Mito, that woman..." Kurama was speechless. What she said was not unreasonable, its chakra did have this characteristic, but as long as it was chakra sincerely passed to a jinchuriki, it would not carry the slightest evil intention. But how to explain it? No, the dignified Lord Kurama disdained to explain to a human girl.
"What? Are you willing to be captured and taken to the Land of Lightning? Then you'll never see Uzumaki Lin Yu again. Maybe you'll be sold as a maid to a rich merchant." Kurama said to Kushina in a very wicked tone.
As soon as Kushina heard this, her little face turned pale. That's right! If I go to the Land of Lightning, I might never see that annoying Lin Yu again. I absolutely won't!
Why hasn't that annoying Lin Yu come to save me yet!
Wuwuwu, I knew I shouldn't have eaten those steamed buns today!
Kushina pouted, regretting her gluttony. Her eyes were a little misty as she looked at Kurama, and said pitifully, "Stinky fox, can you stop corroding me with evil chakra? I don't want to turn bad!"
"I have a name! It's Kurama! If you dare to call me stinky fox again, I won't bother with you!"
"And I'm not interested in human brats, I'm too lazy to do that." Kurama snorted, indicating that she could understand how tiring it was for Lin Yu to take care of this girl.
Kushina wiped away the tear stains, her eyes red, "Then what should I do?"
"Just extend your fist."
"Like this?" Kushina extended her fair little fist towards the sealing gate and touched Kurama through the gate.
Due to the sealing gate, they did not touch directly, but a massive amount of chakra was transferred from Kurama. Lin Yu would never have dreamed that Kushina would fist bump with the Nine-Tails before him...
...
Still quite a distance from the border of the Land of Fire, Toruda and his two companions traveled leisurely through the forest. Since they didn't sense any pursuers, Toruda, who was always cautious, gradually relaxed.
Tch, Konoha is nothing special. They still dare not offend us, Kumogakure.
Just then, Is, who was more sensitive among the three, frowned and said to Toruda, "Boss, there are several ninjas ahead and to the left. Judging by the chakra I sense, they don't look like Konoha ninjas."
Toruda stopped, his brow furrowed. He seemed to know who was coming, but he didn't want to interact with them. After all, their Kumogakure mission was completed, and there was no need to cooperate with the other party anymore.
However, the other party clearly had a sensory ninja who had also detected them and was rapidly approaching, making it impossible to avoid them.
Soon, dozens of ninjas in brown robes appeared in front of Toruda and his two companions, blocking their path.
The man in the lead was painted with greasepaint, and the heavy object on his back was tightly wrapped with bandages. The forehead protector with a sandglass symbol revealed their identity: they were a group of Sunagakure ninja.
The man with greasepaint stepped forward and said to Toruda, "Toruda, where is the person we need?"
"We Kumogakure seem to have no obligation to help you, Kankuro," Toruda said impassively.
The man with greasepaint, Kankuro, was nonchalant. "We provided you Kumogakure with intelligence, and you can't even spare some effort to help us abduct a kid? Or are you Kumogakure not strong enough?"
"What did you say? You hermaphrodite, how dare you insult us Kumogakure!" Is, who was always impulsive, couldn't help but retort to Kankuro.
Toruda raised his hand to stop Is and said to Kankuro, "We are not enemies. Moreover, that kid named Uzumaki Lin Yu is not at home. And if my guess is correct, Konoha should be dispatching a large number of people to track us now. This is a great opportunity for you Sunagakure to invade. Are you sure you want to waste time here with us Kumogakure?"
"Hmph." Kankuro snorted. He had to admit that what Toruda said was very true. Now was not the time to make a move on Kumogakure; they also had their own mission to complete.
"Consider yourselves lucky. We Sunagakure will let you go this time. Let's go!" Kankuro waved to the Sunagakure ninja behind him and intended to bypass Toruda and his group, heading towards Konoha in a different direction. After all, they didn't want to help Kumogakure block Konoha's pursuers.
"Leaving already? Weren't you looking for me?"
At this moment, a clear and cold voice rang out. Toruda and Kankuro's expressions changed slightly. Someone had been lurking around them, and they hadn't detected it.
Lin Yu's figure slowly emerged from the shadows behind the trees and said curiously to Kankuro, "Your target is me, Sunagakure? Can I know why?"
Lin Yu's expression was a bit strange. He was also one of the targets to be kidnapped. This was a bit unexpected. Did Sunagakure also engage in kidnapping now?
"You are Uzumaki Lin Yu?" Kankuro took out a portrait from his pocket and compared it. His eyes lit up, it was indeed the target. The mission was now complete!
"Very good. I didn't expect that we wouldn't find you, and you delivered yourself to our doorstep. What a good child!" Kankuro beckoned to the Sunagakure ninja behind him, signaling them to come forward and take Uzumaki Lin Yu away.
As for resistance, Sunagakure had dispatched two Jonin, four Special Jonin, and six Chunin for this infiltration into Konoha. Moreover, he, Kankuro, was an elite Jonin. If it weren't for the fact that Uzumaki Lin Yu could subdue Shukaku alone, Sunagakure wouldn't have gone to such great lengths.
"Hey, you still haven't answered my question. Why does Sunagakure want to capture me?" Lin Yu felt that the other party was not answering his question directly. He disliked being ignored. When he was unhappy, he wanted to hit people! Absolutely not learning from Kushina!
"Do you think you have the right to question us?" The two Sunagakure ninja who stepped forward had arrogant expressions. He was just a kid. He heard he could subdue a Tailed Beast, who would believe it? No one had seen it, perhaps Konoha made it up themselves.
"Then let me guess, is it because of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques?" Lin Yu didn't pay any attention to the Sunagakure ninja in front of him, and stroked his smooth chin. The only thing he could think of was that Sunagakure coveted their Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, especially since Sunagakure's methods of sealing Tailed Beasts were notoriously crude.
Kankuro's gaze flickered, and he didn't answer whether Lin Yu's guess was correct. He shouted sternly, "Catch him, don't let this brat escape."
"Run? Who said I was going to run? I just wanted to test my taijutsu on someone. Don't cry when you get beaten later." Lin Yu gave a charming smile to the two Sunagakure ninja in front of him.
The two Sunagakure ninja were bewildered, but they had to obey Kankuro's orders. The two quickly grabbed towards Lin Yu from both sides, one attacking his chest and the other seizing his hands.
"If you do this, I can accuse you of illegal assault and molestation of a minor."
The two Sunagakure ninja missed their target, and Lin Yu was already nowhere to be found. Suddenly, Lin Yu's voice came from above. The Sunagakure ninja quickly looked up, and the sole of a shoe rapidly enlarged in their eyes.
Bang bang.
Lin Yu kicked away the two Sunagakure Chunin with a flying kick, slightly patted the sole of his shoe, and frowned, "My shoe soles are dirty. Do you Sunagakure ninja never take baths? Your skin is so thick?"
