Chapter 114: Xin's Secret?



As they kept running, putting as much distance between themselves and the Sand forces as possible, Xin felt that the Kazekage had given up the chase.

"Let's take a break." He said.

Mikoto was at her limit, and Minato wasn't in much better shape.

Running wouldn't have been so exhausting if they weren't each lugging around a fat pig from the Daimyo's entourage.

Honestly, how do these officials manage to get so outrageously fat?

Carefully setting his burden down, Minato collapsed onto the ground, breathing heavily. His clothes were soaked with sweat-partly from the run, partly from the sheer terror of being chased by the Third Kazekage.

It was terrifying, the Third Kazekage personally hunting us down. Just thinking about it is horrifying. Thank goodness Xin was able to defuse the situation; otherwise, my grave would have grass a meter tall by next year.

Mikoto wasn't doing much better, sinking to the ground with no energy left to move.

"Here, drink some water," Xin offered them a canteen, glancing back in the direction they had come from.

"It seems the enemy has given up the chase. We've got enough time to make our way back to Konoha at our own pace."

I'd love to just get rid of these three fat pigs right now.

If they weren't our clients, I'd have ditched them ages ago.

"Xin, how did you do it?"

After resting for a bit, Minato and Mikoto had recovered enough to ask the question that had been burning in their minds. Both of them stared at Xin, as if trying to see through all his secrets.

Sitting on the grass, Xin handed out some spare rations. As he ate, he replied casually. "I just did it, that's all. I developed a strong Genjutsu, and the Third Kazekage was careless enough to fall for it."

Careless enough to fall for it?

Come on, who are you trying to fool? It was a direct hit; we're not blind!

Minato rolled his eyes at Xin, munching on his rations.

Glancing at the unconscious trio on the ground, Xin said to Minato and Mikoto, "I hope you can keep what happened today under wraps. Just tell them we ran into Sand Village enemies, but don't mention anything about the Third Kazekage."

"I won't say a word," Mikoto promised firmly.

Even if Xin hadn't said anything, she wouldn't have told anyone.

Unless Xin brought it up himself, this was staying a secret.

"Got it," Minato nodded. He wasn't the naive, curious kid he used to be.
