Hokage’s strongest sword

Minato’s Worry and Decision

After what happened here, Kakashi and his group of five and Nangong Tetsu also returned to Konoha Village. Nangong Zhe didn’t really want to have too much connection with Minato. After all, the two were only an alliance of interests. Even if there were some emotional bonds, Minato represented the power of Konoha after all, and Nangong Zhe was the head of the Bloody Clothes Pavilion, and the surprise in their status made it impossible for them to have a close relationship.

So the people who came to Hokage’s office were only Kakashi and his party of five. Regarding Nangong Tetsu’s sudden appearance, Kakashi did not hide anything. After all, Nangong Tetsu helped himself and others to solve the threat from Orochimaru despite his sudden appearance. And Nangong Zhe has his own set of intelligence system and influence, and Konoha also knows about such things, but there is no way to accurately connect Nangong Zhe with the increasingly prosperous Xueyi Pavilion in the ninja world.

“Okay, I already understand what you said…” After listening to Kakashi’s report, Minato also nodded and said to Kakashi: “Although this operation is not successful, it can be considered a little Harvest. The appearance of Orochimaru has indeed disrupted our original plan to get more information about Orochimaru from the undercover mouth of Xiao organization, but the appearance and various performances of Orochimaru are indeed of certain value, so I decided to count this task as your downgrade. The original S-level task is downgraded to A-level this time, and the task rewards will be divided according to the A-level task.”

Strictly speaking, this mission was indeed a failure, but there were too many irresistible factors in it. Yakushido felt that the betrayal of Akatsuki’s organization and the sudden appearance of Orochimaru were uncontrollable, and it was not Kakashi’s fault. Therefore, Minato still generously believed that the mission of Kakashi and his party was partly successful.

More importantly, Orochimaru’s escape without a fight and Uchiha Sasuke’s attitude towards Orochimaru are extremely important information, which is enough for the staff organization of Konoha Village to extract a lot of useful information, and Minato can also find some information from it. Clue. The master is weak and the guest is strong, coupled with Sasuke’s own temper that does not want to be inferior to others, and what may happen in the future can be expected.

But Minato couldn’t tell Naruto, Sakura, or even Sasuke’s original teammates and mentors like Kakashi about these things. After all, they still have a deep relationship, don’t they? Minato gently raised his hand, as if he was going to comfort Kakashi and his party.After announcing the inevitable period of rest after the task. But Naruto suddenly opened his mouth and said to Minato:

“Father, I hope you can help me become stronger!”

Hearing Naruto’s address, Minato’s heart was also in a trance. Naruto’s ability to accept himself in this way, instead of being awkward like a child is what Minato has always hoped for, so Minato, who was originally planning to let Kakashi and his party retreat, also stopped his actions and looked serious. Said to Naruto:

“Naruto, I know that you met Sasuke directly this time, and you didn’t let Sasuke and you return to Konoha as you wished. This incident made you very sad and caused a lot of emotional fluctuations. But I hope you can correct your own heart, and don’t let the urgency in your heart affect your thinking.”

Naturally, Minato knew Naruto too, and Minato felt that he knew a thing or two about Naruto’s state of mind at the moment. As a human being, he is extremely susceptible to the thought-disturbing side effects of the tailed beast chakra in his body, which is why most people’s personalities are a little extreme and weird. Minato didn’t want his children to indulge in negative emotions because of these side effects, and then go astray, so Minato said these things to Naruto with an unusually serious expression at this moment words.

But when he heard Minato’s words, Naruto didn’t appear as irritable and furious as Tsumizumon’s impression. On the contrary, he showed a very different calm attitude from before and said to Minato:

“I know what you mean, father. Don’t worry, I will use my actions to prove that what Sasuke did was one-sided and extreme. Uncle Nangong had already told me a lot at that time, and I also think what Uncle Nangong said was very It makes sense. Instead of blindly entangled and obsessed with bringing Sasuke back to Konoha abruptly, it is better to prove that Sasuke’s decision is not as correct as he imagined. Therefore, I am very calm at the moment, and I hope you can Help me make more progress.”

Hearing Naruto’s words, Minatosho glanced at Kakashi who was standing aside with a slightly reproachful look. After all, Kakashi was routinely reporting the progress of the mission just now. For example, what Nangong Tetsu said to Naruto, Kakashi thought that it had nothing to do with the mission, so he decided to find another time to meet with Minato Talk about it well.

Of course, Minato was not a narrow-minded, small-minded person, and soon Minato understood the reason why Kakashi did not describe what Nangong Tetsu said. Because Naruto has already recounted almost verbatim what Nangong Tetsu said to himself at that time, some of which are not so suitable to say in front of Minato, a Hokage who can represent Konoha. But the person who spoke is one of the strongest in the ninja world, and the person who repeats these words is his own child. No matter how upset Minato was with Nangong Tetsu’s views on Konoha’s education model and the way of survival, Minato still maintained a fairly calm face.

Moreover, Minato is indeed considering transforming Spiral Maru into a ninjutsu that is more suitable for Naruto with an extremely abundant amount of Chakra, which can output a large amount of Chakra that is difficult for ordinary ninjas to release. But it involves a lot of advanced concepts of Chakra’s deformation and qualitative change, which cannot be explained clearly in a while. So Minato still waved his hand and said to Kakashi and his group:

“This is the end of this matter. You will enjoy a one-month vacation. I hope you can take a good rest and exercise yourself. Don’t waste time, but make yourself more and more sophisticated.”

Naruto standing aside saw that Minato hadn’t responded to his request, and his eyes dimmed a little at the moment, but then Minato’s words pulled Naruto back from falling to the bottom of the valley.

“Naruto, get ready to practice with me when you get home. My training is very scary, so get ready!”

Saying that, Minato even walked up to Naruto’s side and patted his child on the shoulder encouragingly.
