Naruto : Minato back to the past

"What's the trouble?"

One of the four people, Hatake Sakumo, asked. He observed that Tsunade in front of him had become a little solemn.

"Chiyo's poison contains an ingredient called Desert Sorrow." Tsunade replied.

"Desert Sorrow, what is that?"

The four people were stunned. They just felt that the name "Desert Sorrow" was a bit strange, but they didn't know where it came from.

Tsunade glanced at them, and then said, "I need this Desert Sorrow to detoxify the poison. It is a flower that only grows in the desert and has a very strong toxicity."

"Grow in the desert? What a strange plant."

Minato was surprised. After all, most animals and plants need sufficient water to grow, otherwise they will wither and die, and the environment in the desert is not suitable for their growth.

But this poisonous flower called "Desert Sorrow" actually only grows in the desert, which is a world wonder.

"Well, it hardly needs any water during its growth process. I have only seen it in some book, and I have never seen the real thing." Tsunade nodded and said.

"This Desert Sorrow has only been found in the Land of Wind. It can be considered that it is a species unique to the Land of Wind, and even if it grows in the desert, its number is extremely rare."

Tsunade pursed her lips. The trouble she mentioned was the scarcity of Desert Sorrow, and it only grows in the Land of Wind.

Even if Konoha ninjas were sent to look for it, they might not be able to find it, not to mention that the Land of Wind is the territory of the Sand Village, and their ninja are everywhere.

"I see."

Minato and others understood the current situation and frowned.

Even if Tsunade found a way to counter it, if there is no "Desert Sorrow", it would be difficult for her to make the antidote.

The atmosphere in the tent was silent for a while.

Suddenly, Minato raised his eyes and stared at Tsunade and the other, and said, "Since Chiyo can make poison with Desert Sorrow, then there should be Desert Sorrow in the Sand Village."

"That's natural, but so what?"

How could Hatake Sakumo and the others not understand this truth.

"I have an idea in my mind, which is a bit risky." Minato smiled.

Orochimaru turned his eyes and stared at him, then said: "You, you want to go to the Sand Village to find the Desert Sorrow?"

Facing his question, Minato smiled heartily and said, "Yes."

"You overestimate your ability." Hearing this, Orochimaru sneered and said, "The Sand Village is one of the five major ninja villages. You want to sneak into the Sand Village to find the Desert Sorrow. Not to mention whether you can successfully sneak in, even if you can enter the Sand Village, can you find the Desert Sorrow and come out?"

It's not Orochimaru's fault. This time, even Tsunade and Hyuga Tenki had the same look on their faces.

Minato's idea was simply too whimsical.

"Ninja is a high-risk profession. If we are timid, when will this war end?"

Minato said. The four people in front of him thought he was arrogant, but he had his own thoughts.

"Indeed, the Sand Village is very strong. If we rely on conventional infiltration, it will not work, but if we take some measures, it is not impossible." Minato continued.

Orochimaru still had a look of disdain on his face, and Sakumo, the only one among the four who was still calm, asked: "What do you have in mind?"

Minato exchanged glances with him and saw a hint of support in the latter's eyes. He nodded lightly and turned his gaze to Tsunade and the other two and said: "Among the five major ninja countries, the Land of Wind and the Sand Village are the most special."

"Due to geographical reasons, the Land of Wind is extremely short of natural resources. Now in the war period, a large amount of war materials is needed, but for the Sand Village, it is not possible to be partially self-sufficient like Konoha. Even if the Sand Village has the support of the Land of Wind Daimyo, it is still not enough, so their source of materials is the villages in the desert of the Land of Wind."

Minato said that the borders of the Land of Wind are mostly deserts, and villages can only be built on oases in the desert, so there are very few connections between villages.

"You mean, sneak in with disguise?"

Sakumo's eyes narrowed. Minato hadn't finished speaking yet, but from his words, the former immediately guessed his idea.

"Yes." Minato nodded.

"That's one way, but even if you sneak in with disguise, you're walking into a trap."

Tsunade frowned and said, according to Minato's method, Konoha ninja who sneaked into the Sand Village would just walk into the Sand Village trao, and the people of the Sand Village were not stupid enough to not be able to distinguish between ordinary people and ninjas.

Although sensory ninjas are rare, there are not a few sensory ninjas in the Sand Village.

In addition, the Sand Village must have strict control over the personnel transporting materials.

"Hehe, what I mean is not direct disguise, but impersonation." Minato smiled and said, "We can keep an eye on the Land of Wind villages in the desert these few days, and then intercept them halfway when they are transporting supplies, and then we can just pretend to be them."

"There are ninjas from the Yamanaka clan among the troops. For them, it is not difficult to invade the memories of these people, and our infiltrators just need to familiarize themselves with the general situation of these people as soon as possible."

"As for chakra, we who have the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan can seal our chakra" As he said that, Minato looked at Hyuga Tenki.

Hyuga Tenki was startled, then said: "Through acupuncture, it is possible to temporarily block the flow of chakra in the human body. Make it look like an ordinary person in a short period of time, but for a sensory ninja, the chance of hiding it is not high."

Hearing this, Minato smiled slightly and said: "Leave the rest to me."

"Kushina once taught me a strange ninjutsu that can temporarily seal the chakra of the human body."

What he said was naturally the fuinjutsu of the Uzumaki clan, but now he couldn't openly know Kushina's identity and the fuinjutsu, so Minato could only play dumb.

Except for Hyuga Tenki, Tsunade and the other two were all shocked when they heard this.

They naturally knew that the ninjutsu that Minato want to used to seal the chakra of the human body was the fuinjutsu of the Uzumaki clan.

The three also knew that Minato had a very good relationship with Kushina, so it was not impossible for Kushina to teach him the fuinjutsu.

It's just that, apart from the first Hokage, no non-Uzumaki clan ninjas have ever mastered the Uzumaki clan's fuinjutsu.

They all looked at Minato, who often shocked them, with surprise in their eyes.

The plan proposed by Minato was so thorough that he even took into account the unique abilities of the Hyuga and Yamanaka clan ninjas in Konoha and used them.

His way of thinking and ability completely surpassed them. He was like a Hokage!
