Third Person POV
Land of Fire, Year 38.
...
...
The next day, Mikoto noticed a slight movement at her side as Hanabi began to regain consciousness. Turning her gaze to the side, she looked at her companion with surprise.
"Mikoto..." she murmured.
"Are you okay, Hanabi?" Mikoto asked with some concern.
"A bit sore and dizzy, but fine... What happened?" Hanabi asked.
"You fainted in the middle of the battle, but we managed to protect you. You just need to rest a bit," Mikoto said, and Hanabi nodded.
"How are things, what was the outcome of the fight?" Hanabi inquired, concerned about the camp.
"We suffered a great loss. Many of our ninjas died and Sensei is working hard to keep everything under control... A camp in the south was also attacked by the village of the area and Minato showed up here," Mikoto commented, appearing somewhat hesitant.
"Where is he?" Hanabi asked, sensing something was wrong.
"I don't know," Mikoto admitted. "He came here, went to see you and that friend of his, before leaving. I heard he went north alone..." Mikoto admitted, leaving Hanabi stunned.
"What is he doing?" Hanabi asked.
"No one knows, but Jiraiya-Sensei issued an order to look for him. He went on his own, disobeying an order..." Mikoto said, causing Hanabi to look quite surprised at this.
"He's fighting alone?!" Hanabi tried to sit up but her arm was still injured.
"Yes... there's nothing we can do... something strange also happened before Minato disappeared yesterday." Mikoto continued. "A wind with lightning struck the entire camp, while various people began to fall as if in a genjutsu, I almost fell as I saw medics from this tent starting to collapse one after the other with most of the conscious patients also fainting. Everyone thought it was an enemy attack, but things calmed down a moment later, then Jiraiya said the situation was under control, with someone releasing a chakra explosion and that he had gone north." She said, even though some sensors in the camp mentioned they didn't feel the chakra from the wave.
"He's not in danger?!" Hanabi said worried about Minato.
"I don't know... but I've never seen Minato so upset... we don't know where he is..." Mikoto murmured.
"We should help him!" Hanabi insisted while Mikoto shook the gourd for her.
"I don't think we would do more than what Sensei's teams are doing..." Mikoto responded with a tone of sadness and frustration.
"I hope he's okay..." Hanabi said at the end while Mikoto agreed with her. Although both were training, Minato always seemed much stronger with them, while they had to stay at the camp helping, it was no secret to them that Minato was part of a special Anbu squad in the south.
Meanwhile, Jiraiya was also thinking about Minato at this time, the boy had disappeared and there was still no news about him, acting recklessly whatever he was doing, but unable to do anything beyond the group and the intelligence of the north getting accurate information about the boy.
This began to change as he was organizing the camp casualties in a damage control that an Anbu reappeared in front of him. "Commander Jiraiya!" The man greeted.
"Report from the north?" Jiraiya asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes... the Earth's troops are all agitated across the region..." The Anbu spoke.
"What has my student done?" Jiraiya asked immediately.
"We couldn't get close to the camp, surveillance is constant... But he attacked the camp alone and eliminated more than 400 Earth ninjas..." Even the Anbu could hardly believe those words.
"More than 400?! That's madness!!" Jiraiya was staggered by that.
"Yes... he launched a jutsu of such a high scale that it lit up the entire sky at the Earth's border. I heard about him doing the same jutsu on the south side... when the reports came in from that attack." The Anbu said.
"Yes, I heard too... and to think he had another S-rank jutsu in his arsenal, despite having already used it on our S-rank mission." He spoke, still recalling the crater his student had created... he could generate an explosion like a mini-biju-dama, which is unbelievable for a human, but a ten-year-old boy could already do this, with Raijin, Minato was a monster without precedent, he might already be surpassing the Second Hokage himself.
"I want to know where he is, did he manage to escape?" Jiraiya asked.
"He escaped, as far as we know... but no one has been able to find him..." the Anbu declared, making Jiraiya nod in response.
"Alright... you may go now..." Jiraiya requested.
"Yes." The ninja disappeared, leaving Jiraiya alone with his thoughts.
"I can't leave him alone..." Jiraiya murmured, imagining Minato was consumed by anger. He stepped out of his tent and called someone to take his place. "I will be heading to the Land of Rain as well," he stated as his men nodded.
"That's..." Kitsuchi was reviewing the report at one of the central camps on the border of the Land of Earth, frowning at the information.
"One person killed 450 ninjas alone?!" The person beside him looked at the report in disbelief.

"He was already that strong..." Onoki's son was a bit frustrated by this; they had lost nearly an entire camp, turning their small victory with the surprise attack on Konoha into a disaster. It was no secret in figuring out who was responsible after seeing the kunais with seals, immediately requesting them to be destroyed before the boy could return while everyone was distracted.
"What are we going to do now?" the Stone soldier asked.
"We can't let this happen again, we will have to increase the watch on the border even more, besides we need to find out how he managed to get through all the watches around the place without anyone noticing, because the first contact of him appearing was attacking the camp. I want you to look for him even in the Land of Rain..." he ordered.
"But can our men handle this boy? Did you see the jutsu he unleashed...?"
"Yes... I saw the damage he did... that's why I will send someone to help stop him," Kitsuchi spoke with a serious tone.
The meeting continued as the commander discussed the security of the camps and how they would replenish the one destroyed by Minato.
Thus, Onoki's son, in charge of the border serving his father, asked everyone to leave. When he called an Anbu to deliver a letter, the Earth village Anbu left and went deep into the Land of Earth until he found a small camp in a forest full of security with at least 50 Jonin ninjas, while there was a young man in the middle of the place wearing red armor.
The Anbu passed by the ninjas and went to the man to hand him Kitsuchi's letter. This was the Four Tails' Jinchuriki, known as Roshi, a ninja specialized in the lava element.
"What do we have here... maybe I could finally leave this camp... it's so tedious," he spoke, after all, he was always monitored the whole time while numerous security guards took care of his safety.
After reading the letter, with an order for him to go to the Land of Rain, he smiled. "Well, then I shall hunt an ant," he murmured, unconcerned about the possible two S-rank jutsus his target possessed. He began to prepare to leave the camp, while a group of 20 Jonins followed him.
Meanwhile, in Ame, the Land of Rain, Hanzo was sitting in his room when he received the report from his intelligence. Although not detailed, it explained a lot, especially about the two flashes lighting up the night sky and the information of an attack by a single person devastating an entire camp, while he could teleport through fuuinjutsu symbols.
"So, it's the boy. He finally decided to act..." Hanzo murmured, it had been almost 2 years since he had seen any activity from the boy he was interested in.
He nodded in satisfaction as he stood up. His men were curious about their lord's action. "I will be heading to the north of the country. After all, the Earth village is becoming quite bold, and it's time to put them in their place," he stated, starting to leave.
As Hanzo left, the day continued, and in a hidden cave in the forest of the Land of Rain, Minato was sitting in the lotus position, finishing refilling his chakra reserves. He had not returned to the Land of Fire; he discovered that it was not just one camp but two of them, so he was not satisfied with just the camp from last night and wanted to strike them again, while he recuperated.
The entire forest was bustling, and Minato remained hidden in the cave until some ninjas came to investigate the area by late afternoon. They didn't stand a chance as Minato surprised them and eliminated them within seconds.
Meanwhile, the Earth patrol noticed the absence of some comrades and went to investigate. They arrived there at sunset, seeing only the bodies on the ground as night began to fall. "He's around here!!!" They began searching for Minato. However, the boy was already far away, flying through the orange sky heading north once again.
This time, he intended to make a different approach. Minato had made a lot of money from paper bombs, so much that he was already prepared to buy his own property when he returned to Konoha. But he was not just producing to sell his paper bombs, he was also stockpiling them. He had at least 10,000 paper bombs, and this night would be a good opportunity to use them.
Again, he flew over the camp with geppo, the place was much more guarded as they kept sentinels everywhere, he then threw a kunai into a discreet corner, appearing while he began eliminating the sentinels around along with the sensory ninjas, unnoticed. After that, he started placing papers in some places for distraction.
"Let's begin..." Minato murmured, activating a seal, while 10 paper bombs exploded on the southern side in the middle of the forest. The explosion sent trees flying as all the ninjas there went on alert.
"Enemy attack!!" They exclaimed, approaching that side of the camp.
Seeing them looking that way, Minato began to act. He started creating clones while they subtly disappeared placing paper bombs all over the camp.
"I swear I saw someone on my side!!!" Exclaimed a ninja seeing the shadow disappearing beside him.
"What are you saying...? Hm?!" The ninja murmured and noticed something strange at the feet of the ninja.
"These are paper bombs!!!" The ninjas said, seeing dozens of paper bombs on the ground with Minato placing them in milliseconds, and the entire camp was filled with them.
As soon as he took a distance, Minato clenched his hands into a seal and all the paper bombs began to catch fire at that moment. The enemy ninjas were horrified as small flames appeared all over the camp.
"Take cover!!!" They exclaimed, but the next moment, once again, the night sky was lit up with explosions from another camp, causing unprecedented deaths, while all the paper bombs formed a massive explosion with their accumulation.
Minato looked at it with a calm demeanor. He took no pleasure in killing people; however, he was returning the same treatment that the Earth Village had launched at Konoha and for the Earth ninjas having hurt his friends.
"Let's go back..." Minato said, disappearing before anyone could catch him. He ended up returning near that cave to check things out. The Earth ninjas there, still unaware of the situation at the second camp, were searching for Minato and trying to find him, despite a glow having appeared in the sky to the north and everyone looking there.
Minato was about to leave them behind when he sensed a powerful presence nearby, which made him curiously wary.
"The Four Tails Jinchuriki is here?!" Minato murmured with a curious look.
