This was perhaps the last peaceful morning before the war. Minato, Kushina, Kimimaro, Haku, Karin, Naruto, and Fu, who was temporarily staying at Naruto's house, along with two Little Orange fox happily ate breakfast.
The little foxes were small clones of the Nine Tails. The Seven Tails inside Fu was very envious. It was said that it had recently started learning this Tailed Beast-specific cloning technique from the Nine Tails.
At first, when Naruto said he could also release small clones in front of Fu, the Nine Tails refused. I'm all about face, okay? What would Chong Ming think if he saw me like that? What about my image?
Naruto had to persuade him, "You've been old brothers for so many years, who doesn't know who? Back when he was just a reptile, did you laugh at him?"
The Nine Tails thought about it and figured, I'm the best-looking anyway, why should I care what others think? This is all Old Man Six Paths' love for me.
Then the Nine Tails stopped fussing and released small clones as usual, eating and playing as it pleased. It even wanted to provoke Shukaku, but it wasn't the right time, and Naruto stopped it.
When Little Orange and Little Red used their fox paws to pick up napkins and wipe their mouths, breakfast came to an end. Naruto helped clean up, mainly responsible for conveniently throwing the kitchen waste into the Kamui Dimension.
Naruto had specially designated a piece of land in the Kamui Dimension as a garbage station, dividing it into four categories: dry waste, wet waste, hazardous waste, and recyclable waste.
Then, because the smell was too strong, the clones who went to check in every day had opinions, so they specially set up a Barrier to block the odor, inspired by the Technique Formula used to seal Jiraiya with a Cotton Quilt back then, isolating Jiraiya's boozy smell.
However, space was limited, so he would call Itachi in when he had time to release a Amaterasu to purify it. Perhaps ordinary fire has various disadvantages when burning garbage, but Amaterasu's fire doesn't have this worry. All harmful substances and harmful gases are burned clean and sanitary.
Of course, Naruto also planned storage areas, rest areas, and entertainment areas, but they couldn't be used yet, otherwise it would be equivalent to aiding the enemy.
"Okay, everyone, get ready, today we will..." Minato's words were not finished when there was a knock on the door outside.
The person outside shouted through the door, "Hokage-sama, there's urgent information from the border!"
Everyone's expression changed, and Minato said, "Come in!"
It was someone from the intelligence department. Naruto didn't have much of an impression. After coming in, he handed a piece of paper to Minato and said, "This is the message sent back by the border guards using a Ninja Hawk. The border was attacked in the early hours of today!"
Minato looked at the paper, and Naruto peeked at it from the side.
In the early hours of the morning, hundreds of monsters attacked border area number 11, wreaking havoc. It is suspected that someone is manipulating them. The situation is urgent, requesting support.
"Is it Akatsuki?" Minato remembered that one of the Pain was good at using Summoning Technique, but why attack the border instead of lurking in Konoha and then summoning the summoned beasts?
"Naruto, send Shadow Clones to check the situation!"
"Okay, there happens to be a teleportation point near area 11." Naruto released five clones without saying a word and sent them to investigate.
Minato put away the note and said to the others, "Everyone, prepare for battle, we may leave at any time."
Everyone immediately went to change clothes and get their ninja tools. Only then did Naruto remember that because the Shadow Clones were used indoors, the clones were in the same state as him, not even wearing shoes.
Hopefully these idiots won't step on anything weird and then die because their feet are pierced.
A few minutes later, two clones returned to the yard, also escorting a monster—coincidentally, it was the one Guren introduced to Akatsuki. The clones called it Bureisuta.
The people who were ready to go immediately gathered around, looking at this monster that looked like a wolf, a leopard, and had some other animal characteristics.
Minato asked the clone, "What's the situation?"
One clone replied, "Indeed, a large group of monsters has entered the Land of Fire. There are ten people following far behind. We can only identify one as Deidara. We haven't seen the Chakra of the others.
We grabbed a sample and came back immediately. The other three clones bypassed them to rescue people at the border. If they can find them, they should be sent directly to the Hospital."
"Deidara, is that the Earth Shadow's disciple? It seems it really is Akatsuki." Minato nodded, looking at the monster that was constantly struggling and trying to bite Naruto's Shadow Clone: "So the invading monsters are all like this?"
The clone said, "This is one of the smallest in size. The largest is one-third the size of Gamabunta. Each one looks strange, like many kinds of beasts pieced together. Judging from its speed and strength, a Chunin of Iruka-sensei's level should have some difficulty dealing with it."
"This style looks familiar." Naruto thought of Hiruko's subordinates, "Hiruko seemed to have some monsters of this style, pieced together, looking very random, but Hiruko has been burned to ashes, could it be that someone got his research data?"
Minato ordered, "That's possible. In any case, we can't let them advance any further. Everyone here, go and gather your teammates first. Naruto, send Shadow Clones to follow. After each squad assembles, immediately rush to the scene to stop the monsters. I will arrange for others to provide support immediately.
If you encounter Akatsuki, don't engage in battle rashly. It's best to confirm their identities first, and then respond according to the information."
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
Fu, who was squatting on the ground curiously poking Bureisuta, jumped up, pointed at herself, and asked, "What about me? What about me? I want to help too!"
"As for Fu... temporarily assign her to Haku and Karin's squad. Because Kurenai can't participate in the battle, Haku will command the squad." Minato thought for a while and decided to let Fu participate. Anyway, if she stays in the village, she might be attacked.
Although this attack may be Akatsuki deliberately luring them away from the village, fighting outside the village is exactly what Minato wants. He couldn't ask for more than not having to worry about the village during the battle.
Fu happily said, "Yes, I will listen to Big Brother Haku's command!"
Big Brother Haku... Naruto instantly thought of the Sunflower Acupuncture Hand and barely resisted the urge to make a comment.
The crowd dispersed, Naruto sent Shadow Clones to follow, and he went to find Kakashi and the others.
Minato pointed to Bureisuta, who was being held down by his Shadow Clone, "Send this to the Inuzuka Clan first."
Although the Inuzuka Clan only raises dogs, they also have a lot of knowledge about various beasts. The most outstanding veterinarian in the village is also in their family. Giving this thing to them is more suitable for either guarding or researching it.
"Okay." The Shadow Clones replied reluctantly. In fact, they wanted to roast this thing and see if it tasted good, anyway, they were not afraid of death.
...
Naruto's Shadow Clones were quite reliable, leaving one person running in front of the monsters, leaving coordinates along the way.
