Chapter 79 The whirlpool coming out of the roots [please vote]
The Hokage's office building.
"Hokage-sama."
Namikaze Minato, who was a chuunin, respectfully handed back the information scroll he had read, while Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third Hokage sitting at the desk, showed a satisfied smile.
"Minato, I am very satisfied with your performance before. You have also read this information, so I won't talk nonsense. From today on, you will be a team."
Under Sarutobi Hiruzen's appreciative smile, as he lightly knocked on the table, the ANBU outside suddenly opened the door, and a figure slowly walked out of the darkness.
"Nine..."
The first time he saw this figure, Namikaze Minato's blue pupils flashed with surprise. The other person's red hair made him almost shout out the word Kushina in his heart.
But as the figure walked out of the darkness, there was an ordinary face under the same red hair.
"Hokage-sama."
The expressionless red-haired female ninja saluted respectfully, but her words and deeds were too formal, which made her feel mechanical. There was no emotion in her plain tone.
Especially those eyes, which shocked Minato Namikaze for a moment. They were a pair of eyes that were indifferent and emotionless.
When the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the person coming, he nodded calmly. He naturally knew about the root training, which was completely training ninjas to have no emotional tools.
"Minato, your teammate was once a member of the Uzumaki clan, and her heart has been closed because of her previous cultivation at the root. I believe the will of fire in your heart, Minato, will definitely warm her."
Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectant eyes, Namikaze Minato took a deep breath, showed a solemn expression, and nodded solemnly.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama, for your trust."
Looking at Namikaze Minato who had completely inherited the will of fire, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a pleased smile and nodded at the same time:
"Minato, go down and get to know your teammates first, and don't relax in training during this period. This is a reward from the last mission."
The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, laughed happily as he took out another ninjutsu scroll and handed it over. Namikaze Minato showed a look of surprise when he saw this.
"Hokage-sama, I..."
Looking at the advanced ninjutsu scroll in his hand, Namikaze Minato naturally couldn't put it down. After all, there is no ninja who doesn't like advanced ninjutsu.
But in the last mission, he was all for the village, and he didn't do anything.
Just when Namikaze Minato hesitated, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a hearty laugh.
"Minato, I see your love for Konoha. I hope you can become stronger so that you can better protect the village in the future. In this advanced ninjutsu, there is a detailed understanding of the teleportation technique of the Second Hokage. ”
After feeling the trust of the Third Hokage, Namikaze Minato nodded firmly and excitedly.
"I understand, thank you, Hokage-sama!"
Namikaze Minato was not a pretentious person. After respectfully taking the ninjutsu scroll, he left with his new teammates.
Looking at the departing figure, Sarutobi Hiruzen squinted his eyes and smiled.
Under the influence of the Will of Fire, a new generation of people has emerged.
It has to be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi definitely has his own way of winning over (bewitching) people's hearts.
"You're here but you haven't come in yet."
Just after Namikaze Minato left, Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced out the window without a trace and said with an annoyed laugh.
"Haha, the old man is still so sharp, he even noticed me."
With hearty and funny laughter, a white-haired Jiraiya entered the Hokage's office through the window. Sarutobi Hiruzen was already used to such behavior.
However, after the funny Jiraiya came into the office, he looked at the two figures walking out of the Hokage Building through the window, and couldn't help but show a solemn expression. "Red hair! Old man, is this the person you picked?"
The golden hair and red hair gradually disappeared from sight. Jiraiya slowly turned his head and asked solemnly, while Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded calmly.
"Jiraiya, I believe that this child's will of fire will fill that empty heart. Mito-sama has a saying that is right. Only those with love can master this powerful power."
After hearing this, Jiraiya nodded solemnly.
"I understand. If this happens, Minato won't follow me to the battlefield this time."
The ninjas who emerged from the roots were all trained to be emotionless tools, but now they have to be filled with love? Then he became a war weapon jinchūriki.
Obviously this takes time, and high-intensity warfare on the battlefield leaves no time to cultivate love.
"Jiraiya, don't worry, Minato is also the junior whom I recognize as inheriting the will of fire. During your absence, I will train Minato well."
After hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Jiraiya had a smile on his face.
Namikaze Minato was his first disciple, so he naturally had high hopes.
The Third Hokage's words almost meant that he would train Namikaze Minato.
"In that case, old man, I'll leave first."
Jiraiya said with a laugh, while the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded solemnly.
"Jiraiya, your mission is very heavy this time. Orochimaru led an elite ninja regiment to set off yesterday."
"Don't worry, old man, the war will be over soon!"
Jiraiya, who had already crawled out of the window, looked back at his usual funny smile and gave the Third Hokage a firm look.
In this scene, seeing Jiraiya's disappearing back, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but smile with relief.
"Jiraiya, the most unreliable person, has grown into a reliable person without even realizing it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting alone in the Hokage's office, looked at his statue on the Hokage Rock outside the window with recalling eyes. At this moment, his expression became more determined.
"Konoha will definitely win this battle!"
Among the three disciples, the one whom Sarutobi Hiruzen values the most now is Orochimaru. Otherwise, Orochimaru would not be the first to lead the elite to the front line.
The second one is Jiraiya, because Orochimaru and Jiraiya are both orphans, and the relationship between master and disciple is like that of father and son.
And Tsunade!
When he thought of Tsunade, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but take a deep breath, with a solemn look in his eyes.
The relationship between Tsunade and his master and disciple is not deep. After all, Tsunade has all the teaching, ninjutsu, and training resources that ninjas need.
Thanks to the accumulated inheritance of the Senju clan, Tsunade has been a princess since birth and has never lacked material things.
"Tsunade! I hope Uchiha won't cause any trouble in your hands."
The battlefield in the Kingdom of Rain became increasingly tense. Orochimaru and Jiraiya successively led ninja reinforcements to the front line.
At the same time, in the village, Uchiha mobilized a large number of elite police officers. This time, it can be said that they are full of strength.
The Police Department's Hollow and Thousand Hands teamed up to open the Police Department to the outside world for the first time. Major families and civilian ninjas had the opportunity to enter the Police Department after passing the examination.
At the same time, the report was submitted to the Hokage's office.
It’s almost the end of the month, so I’m asking for the monthly tickets from my brothers. If I can collect 1,000 monthly tickets, the author will be able to draw a lottery.
