Chapter 608: The Scorpion's Trace
Chapter 6 and Six: Traces of the Scorpion
A few days later, Hokage's office.

Because of some matters in the police force, Fuyue, as the captain, came to see Minato and discuss with him.

Fu Yue stepped into the office, saw him coming, Minato stood up, chuckled at him, and said, "Fu Yue, congratulations."

"Thank you." Fu Yue also smiled lightly.

"How is Mikoto's recovery?"

Although she knew that Mikoto, who is a ninja, would have no problem recovering her body, but she was a good friend of Minato Ninja School after all, so the latter was still concerned.

"Well, basically nothing serious." Fu Yue nodded.

Afterwards, the two returned to their normal colors and began to discuss business.

"Just do it, I trust your decision."

After hearing Fugaku's plan, Minato thought for a while and nodded.

Fuyue was a little stunned when he heard this, because the plan he proposed, in the usual way, the village should send people to supervise for a period of time.

That was a precaution against the Uchiha clan, but Minato had never done that since succeeding Hokage.

As the leader, Minato's actions are indeed somewhat inappropriate according to common sense.

But Fuyue knew in his heart that Minato was not a dull person, and the reason why he didn't ask was not unexpected.

Instead, he gave all his trust to Uchiha.

He couldn't help admiring this kindness.

In fact, no matter how people get along with each other, or between clans, trust is the foundation.

If they guard against each other, the only thing left is benefits.

"Speaking of which, Kushina hasn't been here for a long time, and Miqin has been talking about her these days."

Fu Yue said that when Mikoto was just pregnant, Kushina would visit the Uchiha clan almost every day.

But since a few months ago, she has never appeared again.

The reason is only known by Minato and a few people.

"Kushinna... She has been busy with other things recently. When she is too late, I will accompany her to the Uchiha Clan and meet Xiao Sasuke."

Minato smiled, and the bottom of the blue eyes gradually became solemn.

Because, there are only two months left until the due date of Kushina's delivery.
Although the village sealed the news of her pregnancy very tightly, Minato always felt that the man who he didn't know his identity and was planning secretly would definitely take advantage of Kushina's childbirth.
It's January again.

"Recently, you have performed several missions, and the client has spoken highly of you, Kakashi."

Minato smiled and looked at Kakashi in front of him. After the latter became a Jonin, he made him the captain and performed several tasks in succession.

The information that the client gave back to him was quite good.

"It's the duty." Kakashi responded, he didn't care about this kind of praise.

"Dong dong!"

Minato nodded, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Minato said immediately.

"Mr. Jiraiya!?"

When the gate opened, Minato was also surprised when he saw the person coming.

Seeing Minato, Jiraiya also had a smile on his face, he walked over very casually, and patted Kakashi on the shoulder along the way.

Although Kakashi is not very familiar with one of the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya is also Minato's teacher, and Minato is his teacher.

"It seems that you have done a good job during this period of time."

Jiraiya laughed as he left the village shortly after Minato took over as Hokage.

It has been more than a year now, and some of the decisions made when Minato became Hokage were met with great resistance.

But judging from what he had just passed around the village and what he heard over the past year, he handled all these things very well.

The current Konoha is also becoming more and more prosperous.

However, after a simple reminiscence, Jiraiya's expression also became a little dignified.

Seeing this, Minato looked sideways at Kakashi and said, "The mission has just ended, you should rest for a few days, and I will order someone to notify you when there is a mission."

"Yes!"

Of course Kakashi could see the seriousness on the expressions of Minato and Jiraiya.

Immediately he bid farewell to the two and left the office.

"Teacher, what happened?"

Minato's golden brows were slightly frowned, and he was thinking in his heart, whether the teacher's expression already knew what happened in Urenin Village before
Jiraiya-sensei is an expert in information gathering, unmatched among Konoha, but for a while, the Land of Rain has been in a closed state.

If the former hadn't deliberately investigated it, he probably wouldn't have noticed it.

"Not long ago, I accidentally got a piece of information."

"That information is about the Scarlet Sand Scorpion!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a murderous intent in Minato's solemn eyes.

Because during the third Ninja World War, the red sand scorpion poisoned the Konoha army on the coastline of the country of fire. If Uchiha Yan hadn't opened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, Konoha would have been wiped out.

Although Minato felt guilty about the death of Scorpion's parents, the former's actions had touched the bottom line of Minato and Konoha.

Therefore, after the end of the war, the red sand scorpion was included in the list of S-rank wanted criminals by Konoha, and the intensity of the wanted even surpassed that of sand ninja.

Konoha's ninjas are also constantly collecting information about him.

But for such a long time, there is no useful information.

"Teacher, please tell me the specific situation."

Minato said that the Red Sand Scorpion had already been included in Konoha's must-kill list.

Jiraiya nodded, and then told Minato about the origin of the information about the scorpion.

"Is it the Kingdom of Thunder?"

According to the information collected by Jiraiya, the Scarlet Sand Scorpion seems to be hiding somewhere in the Land of Thunder.

Because of this, this matter is somewhat difficult to handle.

Because the third generation of Raikage of Yunin Village in the Land of Thunder died at the hands of Minato, and his son Yezuki Ai is now the fourth generation of Raikage.

Although the third ninja world war has ended for a long time, and the countries have restored peace on the surface, everyone knows in their hearts that it is only a superficial harmony.

Now that he has obtained information on the whereabouts of the Red Sand Scorpion, Konoha must send personnel to hunt and kill him.

But the former is by no means an idler. In the current village, except for Minato, no one has the absolute certainty to kill him on the spot.

But Minato, who is already Hokage, cannot leave the village easily.
If this matter has the assistance of Yunnin Village, it will be much easier to handle.
However, there is a deep hatred between Konoha and Yunin. It is absolutely impossible for Yunin to assist Konoha in catching scorpions!
