Chapter 42: Is This a Villain's Fate?
When Yako entered the park, the first thing he saw was Anbu operatives fighting among themselves.
Over a dozen Anbu were locked in a chaotic melee, and several Anbu corpses already littered the ground.
Sure enough, there were Cloud Ninja spies hidden among the new Anbu recruits!
During the war that annihilated the Uzumaki clan, Konoha had only deployed the Anbu. The Anbu had suffered disastrous casualties; four consecutive battalions had been decimated and rebuilt.
The rebuilt Anbu was a chaotic mix of personnel, which surprisingly allowed Cloud Ninja spies to infiltrate their ranks.
Avoiding the battle between the Anbu ninja, Yako dashed out of the woods and spotted Uzumaki Kushina slung over the shoulder of a Cloud Ninja spy.
If Uzumaki Kushina were taken back to the Hidden Cloud Village, she would definitely be dissected to study Sealing Jutsu.
Yako hurried after them.
Rescuing Uzumaki Kushina would be a massive achievement. It guaranteed an A-Rank Mission reward at the bare minimum, and if handled well, it might even be classified as an S-Rank Mission.
