Looking at Kamidai, who was about the same age as them, Rin Nohara felt a tinge of pity.
Minato Namikaze asked Kakashi, "Kakashi, did you find anything on them?"
Obito's wounds had been treated with Rin Nohara's Mystical Palm Technique and were already bandaged.
Minato Namikaze's team gathered together again.
Kakashi had finished searching the bodies of all the Sunagakure Village ninja and Iwagakure Village ninja.
After hearing Minato Namikaze's explanation, Rin Nohara still had a hard time accepting The Deal of using people as items.
Rin Nohara said in disbelief, "What? Using people as The Deal, and they're even their own village's ninjas?"
Minato Namikaze guessed, "It's likely that the resource - poor Sunagakure Village couldn't come up with anything decent for The Deal with Iwagakure Village to form an alliance. So they thought of using precious Kekkei Genkai ninja to form an alliance with Iwagakure Village."
Kakashi shook his head. "No, there's nothing useful except for some ninja tools."
That means within a one - kilometer radius, nothing and no one can hide, and we can see what they're up to. We can use this to devise battle plans, which will significantly boost our chances of victory.
Regarding the Magnet Bloodline Limit, the user can freely manipulate the gold or iron in natural sand and soil via magnetism. By the way, the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure Village is the owner of the Magnet Bloodline Limit. The Third Kazekage is known as 'The Strongest Kazekage' in Sunagakure Village."
Minato Namikaze announced, "Then take those six Scrolls storing military supplies and evacuate here."
Kakashi picked up those six Scrolls that the Iwagakure Village ninja used as trading items and stored military supplies. Minato Namikaze carried Kamidai and left here with Obito and Rin Nohara, heading for the Konoha base.
...
Kekkei Genkai users possess special abilities, and major countries and ninja villages highly value them. Some Kekkei Genkai can even influence the battle's outcome, just like the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan in our Konoha, which can detect things within a one - kilometer radius.
Kamidai was so scared that he immediately held his breath and continued to pretend to be unconscious.
Minato Namikaze and the people around him all raised their eyebrows at the same time.
This kid... isn't very smart.
Minato Namikaze and his companions just quietly looked at Kamidai.
As time passed by, Kamidai's face turned red from holding his breath due to lack of oxygen, and his whole head was dizzy.
Minato Namikaze reminded him, "If you keep holding your breath, you'll pass out again. There's no point in doing this. This is the area of the Konoha base, and you can't escape. As long as you cooperate, we won't hurt you."
Kamidai, who was almost at his limit, heard Minato Namikaze say that as long as he cooperated, they wouldn't hurt him, and quickly took big breaths.
After calming down, Kamidai roared hoarsely, "I'll cooperate! I swear! From now on, I'm turning a new leaf. Screw Sunagakure Village! I was so loyal to it, but they just knocked me out and brought me here for The Deal of trading me for six crates of junk with those jerks from Iwagakure Village!
From now on, I'm your lackey. You say go east, and I won't go west. You tell me to beat a dog, and I won't chase a cat. As long as you don't kill me, I'm really strong. It'd be a shame to kill me!"
Minato Namikaze looked at Kamidai with a subtle expression.
Apparently, Kamidai was really mad and scared.
Minato Namikaze looked at the man beside him and asked, "Yamanaka Saiichi, are you free now?"
"Yeah, you want me to probe his memory, right?"
"Yeah, that's right. We still need to be cautious."
This Yamanaka Saiichi, a ninja from the Yamanaka clan, had the full name of Yamanaka Saiichi.
Yamanaka Saiichi nodded and said, "Sure. So shall I start probing now?"
Minato Namikaze replied, "Let's do it now."
Kamidai looked at Yamanaka Saiichi in horror. Was this guy going to probe his memory?
Before Kamidai could plead for mercy, Yamanaka Saiichi formed hand seals directly and then placed his hand on Kamidai's head.
"Ninja Art: Mind-Reading Technique!"
Kamidai felt his mind come to a halt, while Yamanaka Saiichi was reading the memories in Kamidai's mind.
Half an hour later, Yamanaka Saiichi exited the Mind-Reading Technique.
The moment he exited, the Hidden Brain Sand Manipulation in Kamidai's head was automatically undone. The inserted needles disappeared, and Kamidai's missing memories were restored.
Kamidai stared blankly at Minato Namikaze and Yamanaka Saiichi.
He was digesting the fact that he was actually an undercover agent.
Yamanaka Saiichi excitedly said to Minato Namikaze, "Minato, it seems we've found a treasure!"
Minato Namikaze looked confused and asked, "What's up?"
Yamanaka Saiichi explained, "This kid is a genius! Without anyone teaching him, he learned the Magnet Ninja Art and Puppet Technique just from the Scroll. His proficiency in the Magnet Ninja Art is very high. Although I don't know much about the Puppet Technique, the Puppets he made seem to far surpass those made by the Puppet - masters in Sunagakure Village!"
Minato Namikaze frowned and said, "Yamanaka Saiichi, what you're saying doesn't seem right. With such talent, how could Sunagakure Village be willing to hand him over to Iwagakure Village ninja?"
Yamanaka Saiichi smiled and said, "Let me finish. This kid's really scared of The Battle. He feared that if his uncle, the Third Kazekage, knew about his talent and strength, he'd be sent to the battlefield, so he always kept it under wraps.
So the Kazekage might have thought this kid was a useless one, which is why he was used as a bargaining chip to make The Deal with Iwagakure Village in exchange for military supplies and to conclude an alliance contract."
Hearing what Yamanaka Saiichi said, Minato Namikaze relaxed his brows and sized up the dazed Kamidai: "It seems... this kid we snatched from the Iwagakure Village ninja will be of great value to our Konoha."
Yamanaka Saiichi affirmed, "I think so. It can be said that Sunagakure Village's loss of this kid is a huge one! He will definitely be of great value to our Konoha!"
Regaining his senses, Kamidai unconsciously pursed his lips after hearing the conversation between Yamanaka Saiichi and Minato Namikaze.
It seemed... things were going quite smoothly.
Kamidai quickly closed his eyes.
Minato Namikaze looked at the 'unconscious' Kamidai on the ground and said, "Knock it off. I know you're awake. Your breathing's all over the place."
Two hours later.
Kamidai gradually woke up from the unconscious state. He looked around. He was in a tent.
Kamidai was knocked out by Minato Namikaze and carried in his hand.
Kamidai clearly knew that he had been taken captive.
Kamidai felt like crying but couldn't shed a tear. He hadn't done anything. How did things turn out like this?
Just as Kamidai was bemoaning the unfairness of fate, he heard two footsteps approaching him.
Obito curiously looked at Kamidai being carried in Minato Namikaze's hand and asked, "Teacher, who is he?"
Minato Namikaze glanced at the unconscious Kamidai in his hand and remarked, "He is the most important target of our current mission, the possessor of the Magnet Bloodline Limit (Kekkei Genkai). Sunagakure Village traded him as a bargaining - chip to the Iwagakure Village ninjas in The Deal for an alliance."
