again. For a brief moment, Kushina feared that her presumed savior had given up on the action, but luckily she was wrong. A smoke bomb flew between the kidnappers' legs and in the next instant they were enveloped in purple smoke. Coughing and choking rang out and Kushina closed her eyes as the smoke stung her eyes. But that was a mistake. In a flash she was grabbed and swept away. She didn't know what was happening to her. She was torn from the cloud of smoke and she felt someone run away with her. Her eyes were still narrowed. She didn't dare to look because she didn't know what to expect.
Suddenly she heard voices that made her widen her eyes after all."Shit, we lost the little one!" she heard the bald man scream from a distance. She saw her move away from the cloud of smoke - at a remarkable speed. Only when she realized that she was being taken away by her kidnappers did she dare to look at the person who was responsible for everything. And when she recognized the blonde hair and the jacket striped on the sides, her heart jumped for joy.
"Minato!" she exclaimed surprised but also happy and only now noticed that he had tossed her over his shoulder. The shinobi was not distracted and purposefully ran away from the kidnappers. Kushina was overjoyed at that moment that this conceited swarm of girls - as she had always called them - had probably found her on the basis of her trail and now saved her. Was she wrong about him?
However, she could not finish her thoughts because a letter bomb tore her from her thoughts. The thing had been installed a few feet away from them and exploded on a large scale. For a few seconds Kushina thought she was dead. She flew rudely to the forest floor, made countless scratches and almost passed out. She didn't know what happened to her. When she opened her eyes, all she could see was that the landscape in front of her had been totally devastated. The letter bomb had done a lot.
Suddenly she thought of Minato. Where was he? The bomb had hit him in particular, and he certainly hadn't dropped Kushina for no reason. Panicked, she looked around, but couldn't see the blonde anywhere. Wouldn't her wish to be saved come true?
Suddenly she heard a diabolical laugh behind her. She tried to turn her head back, but this was not easy because of the unsightly landing on the ground and its aftermath. When she made it with the greatest effort and a few stings of pain, it was already too late. A hand grabbed her collar and lifted her up. When she opened her eyes again, she looked into the face of her kidnapper.
"You thought we'd just let you get away with it? Hehe. Wrong, sweetheart. To be on the safe side, we hid letter bombs on some trees on the way to the village to prevent such small rescue attempts It worked, didn't it? Where's your little friend now? "
Tears welled up in Kushina's eyes. Minato had tried to save her.You, Kushina. Only because of her he wasn't anymore ... Kushina didn't even want to think about it. Their hope was gone. And she might as well forget her dream.
Female Hokage? How would you become a Hokage when you could be kidnapped so easily? Only now did she realize what nonsense she had been putting together."Do you mean me? Here I am!" There was a shout from above and Kushina and her captors looked up in surprise.
Kushina couldn't believe her eyes. There he stood - high above them on a tree branch and grinned down at them. Leaning on the tree trunk, it lived up to its nickname.Swarm of girls. Minato Namikaze. Your savior.

"Make sure that this little wimp disappears for good -Immediately!"
The three men nodded and got to work. They jumped quickly at Minato from all sides. His grin disappeared from his face. Several shuriken flew at him from different directions. He skilfully jumped aside and pushed himself onto the other branches. Suddenly one of the men came up to him from the right. With his fist first he jumped on Minato, but the latter avoided the blow. There were some exchanges of fists until Minato suddenly jumped over his opponent.
"Katon: Endan!" he shouted, making a few finger signs and suddenly spewing out a jet of fire. The fire missile flew at the surprised kidnapper and tore him to the bottom of the forest. The next came from the other side and Minato jumped a few branches further to create distance between himself and the opponent. This threw him numerous kunais after him. These met Minato, but he fizzled out and Kushina knew that it was the Kawarimi no Jutsu.
The man looked around in amazement when he was suddenly grabbed from behind and pressed against the tree trunk. In the next moment he felt warm blood running down him because Minato had immediately stabbed the kidnapper's chest with one of his Kunais. He went a few steps away when suddenly two hands grabbed his feet from below. Minato tried with all his might to free himself, but he couldn't. The head, which also appeared under his feet, grinned up at him.
"This is my Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu." he announced with a mischievous grin. Minato swallowed. Suddenly another man appeared in front of him. It was a doppelganger of the one who had emerged from the branch and was now holding Minato.
"Your last hour has struck, little one!" shouted the man as he tried to hit Minato, but Minato stooped. As the man beat over him in the air, Minato clenched his fists and hit the head under himself. A cry of pain rang out and the grip on Minato's ankles eased.
The man in front of Minato was about to strike again, but the blonde jumped away and landed on another tree opposite. The kidnapper growled angrily. But in the next instant he was pressed against the tree trunk next to him. Startled, he looked down at himself and could only see the wire ropes on his body with difficulty. But too late: Countless shuriken were already flying towards him and since he couldn't move thanks to the wire ropes, what had to come came: the shuriken bored into the kidnapper's flesh.Only now did Kushina dare to breathe again. Involuntarily she had held her breath the whole fight. Actually, she had expected that Minato wouldn't make it. No - she had to admit that she would have thought that would have been the end for him. He had to fight three grown men at once. And he had won against her almost unharmed. That was much more than she had given him credit for. The happier she was that he was fine. Suddenly the bald man's voice tore her from her thoughts.
"That little bastard!" he hissed next to her and only then did Kushina notice him again. He'd probably been just as shocked as she was until just now.
Suddenly the man threw Kushina to the ground and one more time today she had an unfriendly encounter with the forest floor. Minato looked down at the bald man. His face was serious and Kushina, who looked up at him, could see that he would not stop at anything.
The fight against the bald man went faster than expected: The kidnapper conjured a Fuuma shuriken and did not hesitate to attack Minato with it. The Shuriken flew at lightning speed towards the blonde, who dodged in time and jumped back to the forest floor. After a few finger marks, two shadow doubles emerged on his part. All three jumped in different directions and hit the man with tremendous force. But this fizzled out in the attack. Minatos' shadow doubles also fizzled out. He looked around for the bald man who had disappeared. All of a sudden he heard a noise from above. The Fuuma Shuriken flew down at him from above with still remarkable speed, cutting any branches that came in its way. Just as Minato Kunais was about to fish out of his pockets to stop the Shuriken, it fizzled out and the bald man appeared and flew down on Minato. Minato didn't have much time and Kushina feared that the opponent would catch him, but she hadn't expected what was to come:
Minato held out his bare palm and less than two seconds later a chakra ball formed in his hand. Kushina couldn't believe her eyes. She would never have believed that Minato could do such a jutsu.
The bald head flew down on the blonde without any cover and he held the rapidly rotating chakra ball towards him.
"Rasengan!" he shouted one last time before he drove the bullet into the kidnapper above him and thus hurled him away. A tormented scream rang out and the bald man flew in a high arc over the trees. Far from Kushina, who sighed in relief.
The chakra ball in Minato's hand dissolved and there was complete calm. Kushina's heart pounded wildly on her chest. She had to realize all that she had noticed in the last ten minutes. Minato let his arm dangle down a bit exhausted and turned to Kushina.He walked slowly towards her and Kushina didn't know what to say right away. Would a simple thank you be enough? After all, it could very well be possible that he had just saved her life. Joy, relief, but also sadness, over the fact that they wanted to kidnap her, overwhelmed her and if she had not been a strong girl, she would not have been able to withstand this flood of emotions.
"Are you all right?"
Minato crouched down to Kushina to loosen her bonds.
"Yes." she brought her lips a little blush and rubbed her wrists after the rope was removed. With the help of Minato, she got to her feet, which she couldn't hold for a moment. Exhausted, Kushina sagged and Minato grabbed her quickly so that she didn't fall completely to the ground.
"You have run out of strength, Kushina. You have to rest first before we go back to Konoha."
But the redhead stubbornly shook her head.
"No way!"
Minato looked at her inquiringly. While Kushina tried to get her weight back on her legs, Minato pushed her back to the floor and held her.
"But why?"
"Why? We can't risk finding more enemies for us! That-that can't be! No matter how strong you may be, but you won't be able to take on another army of them!"
Minato winced slightly at
