The man standing at the top of the ninja world

After walking out of the office building, everyone began to discuss this mission.

Uzumaki Kushina looked at Nagato and said excitedly: "Nagato, we are finally going to carry out an S-level mission. This is the first time our team has received such a high-level mission."

Nagato nodded, "Yes."

Konan, standing next to Uzumaki Kushina, said: "Kushina, this is also the first time for our team to carry out an S-level mission."

As she spoke, she smiled slightly, "Besides, this is the first time our two teams have performed a mission together."

The leading jounin of both their teams was one of the three ninjas. For missions below S level, there was no need to join forces.

There was obvious nervousness on Haruno Zhao's face, "Since it is an S-level mission, it must be very difficult. I don't know if we can successfully complete this mission."

His strength is the weakest among the eight people. A-level missions are nothing to Nagato, Tsunade, and Uzumaki Kushina, but it is already very difficult for him. Now he has to carry out S-level missions, and he can't help but Some concerns.

Nagato looked at Haruno Zhao and said with a smile, "Zhao, don't worry, Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama are Sannin. With these two here, no matter what kind of enemy they are, they cannot be our opponents. This mission will be completed successfully."

"That's right." Uzumaki Kushina nodded vigorously, "This is our first S-level mission. We will never fail. Our first team's record of victory will continue to be maintained."

"Okay." Yahiko raised an arm and said loudly: "Since our two teams are going to act together this time, let's have a test."

Haruno Zhao looked at Yahiko and asked in confusion: "What are you comparing to?"

"Isn't this mission to kill the group of ninjas who have occupied the Flame City? We have killed more enemies than any other team."

After Yahiko finished speaking, he patted Namikaze Minato on the shoulder next to him, "Minato, what do you think of this proposal?"

A forced smile appeared on Namikaze Minato's face and he waved his hand, "Yahiko, it's better not to give up. This is an S-level mission. Our two teams should cooperate fully."

He has a calm personality, values ​​his companions, and doesn't like to engage in such fights.

Despite this, after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Nagato.

I’m going to do a mission with Nagato. Can I perform better than Nagato in this mission?

Namikaze Minato's dream is to become Hokage, and if he wants to become Hokage, he must be better than Nagato.

And

Namikaze Minato looked at Uzumaki Kushina, and an idea came to his mind. If he could perform better than Nagato, then Kushina should pay more attention to him.

But, can he perform better than Nagato?

Thinking like this, Namikaze Minato was filled with pressure. The last time he saw Nagato take action was during the Chunin Examination, and now more than two years have passed since the Chunin Examination.

Namikaze Minato's strength has improved rapidly in the past two years. He is confident that with his current fighting power, he will have a chance of victory even if he encounters a Jonin. However, while his strength is improving, Nagato will definitely not stand still, so he is against I am not very confident whether I can surpass Nagato.

After Namikaze Minato finished speaking, Nagato, Konan, and Uzumaki Kushina also expressed that they had no intention of competing.

Seeing that no one supported him, Yahiko could only say angrily: "Well, since you don't want to compete, then forget it."

After returning home, Nagato and the other four did not practice any more, and Tsunade did not develop the art of creation and regeneration, but took a good rest for the day.

Even if you practice hard in one day, you won't make any breakthrough progress. In this case, you might as well have a good rest.

Tsunade, Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko were okay. The only pity was Uzumaki Kushina. She was expected to master the King Kong Blockade before the holiday was over, and then she could use this move to suppress the Nine-Tails and obtain the Nine-Tails. Chakra.

But now that there was only one day left in the holiday, she could not successfully practice the King Kong Blockade no matter what. She had to wait until the end of the mission to continue practicing this technique. The matter of extracting the Nine-Tails Chakra could only be postponed for a while.

The next morning, Tsunade, Nagato, Uzumaki Kushina, Konan, Yahiko, Haruno Ou, Jiraiya, and Namikaze Minato met in the office building, and then walked into the Hokage's office.

After entering, they saw that in addition to the Third Hokage, there were three people standing in the office. These three people were two men and one woman. They all looked like they were in their 20s. One of the two men was wearing gorgeous clothes, and the other Wearing a warrior uniform.

The woman was also wearing gorgeous clothes and holding a cat in her arms.

Seeing everyone coming in, the Third Hokage nodded, "Jiraiya, Tsunade, you are here."

After speaking, he looked at the man in fine clothes and introduced: "This is His Highness Nobuya."

Akoka Nobu also nodded to Jiraiya and Tsunade and said, "I often hear about the reputation of the Sannin in the capital. I'll leave it to you this time."

He pointed to the woman and said, "Let me introduce to you, this is my wife Shijimei."

After saying that, he pointed to the man in samurai uniform, "This is Mr. Ichiro Sagi, the samurai who protected me along the way."

Shijimi

Hearing this name, Nagato's heart moved. He remembered that in the original book of Naruto, Team [-] received a cat-catching mission before carrying out the mission to the Land of Waves. The client was the wife of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and her name was Shijimi.

His eyes turned to Akakanobu. Yesterday, when he heard that the Third Hokage said that the daimyo's son was going to the Flame City with them, he was wondering if this Akokanobu was also the Daimyo of the Land of Fire who appeared in the original Hokage novel.

However, the name of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire did not appear in the original book of Naruto, so he was not sure, but now it seems that it is indeed him.

The character is also very consistent. The Third Hokage said that Akakanobu also had a weak character. Nagato remembered that when choosing the Sixth Hokage in the original book of Hokage, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire had already decided to make Kakashi the Sixth Hokage, but Danzo turned out to be the sixth Hokage. As soon as he got angry, he immediately gave up the idea and supported Danzo instead.

After Akoka Shinya finished speaking, the Third Hokage said: "Your Highness Shinya, you have traveled hard from the capital to Konoha. Do you want to take a rest?"

Chihuo Xin also shook his head, "Lord Hokage, my father is very worried about the current situation in Blazing City. He is worried that the civilians in Blazing City will be harmed by those unidentified ninjas. We should set off immediately."

The Third Hokage nodded and said, "In that case, fine."

In addition to his wife Shijimi and the samurai Sagi Ichiro, the people who came with Akaka Nobuya also had more than a dozen servants to serve him, and they also brought many things with them, enough for a motorcade.

After setting off, Akaka Nobuya and his wife Shijimei got into the carriage together. Sagi Ichiro rode a horse to guard beside the carriage, while other servants and ninjas walked.

Ninjas like Nagato were walking at the front. The speed of the carriage was not fast, and it was nothing compared to the speed of the ninjas. They didn't even need to run.

After walking for an hour, Jiraiya looked at everyone and said, "According to this speed, it will take us about ten days to reach the Flame City."

Jiraiya is in a good mood now. Since the end of the Second Ninja War, he has never performed a mission with Tsunade. This time he has a rare opportunity to act with Tsunade.

A trace of sarcasm appeared on Tsunade's face, "It seems that the old man Daimyo does not want to take back the Flame City immediately as the Sandaime said."

These ninjas were walking at the front, so they didn't have to worry about whether what they said would be heard by Akaka Shinya and others.

Uzumaki Kushina looked at Tsunade in confusion and asked: "Tsunade-sensei, what do you mean? Didn't Lord Hokage say that the Daimyo was very anxious before?"

"It's very simple. If he really wants to kill this group of ninjas who are attacking Flame City as soon as possible, then he should only let a few of us go instead of letting his son come with him."

"If we were alone, we could reach Raging Flame City in three days at most, but now it takes more than ten days to get there. The time has suddenly been extended several times."

After finishing speaking, Tsunade said nothing more. The Fire Country Daimyo was the client of this mission. Since he himself was not impatient, then they Konoha ninjas had no reason to be impatient.

At noon, everyone stopped to rest, and Chi Huoxin also announced that they would rest for an hour before leaving.

It only took ten minutes to eat lunch. After eating, Nagato didn't want to waste time. He walked aside and prepared to accumulate chakra for the Yin seal.

He was about to start refining chakra when a voice came from behind him.

"Hey, kid."

Nagato turned around and found Ichiro Sagi, Akaka Shinya's bodyguard, standing not far behind him.

Sagi Ichiro looked at Nagato up and down and said casually: "I remember your name is Uzumaki Nagato, right?"

He raised his right hand, holding a kettle in his hand, "I've finished drinking my water. Go look for any water sources nearby and bring me some water."

Nagato looked at the kettle, then looked at Ichiro Sagi, and said expressionlessly: "My mission is to kill the group of ninjas who attacked the Flame City. Other things have nothing to do with me."

Sagi Ichiro was stunned when he heard this, "What do you mean?"

Immediately, his face quickly darkened, "You mean, you don't want to go get water for me, right?"

"Don't be ridiculous, I'm a warrior from a famous clan, and you, just a ninja, dare to refuse my request."

After saying that, he threw the kettle towards Nagato.

Nagato stretched out his right hand and caught the kettle.

Seeing this, Sagi Ichiro's expression softened and he nodded, "That's right. Go get me water quickly. Hurry up."

Nagato looked at Ichiro Sagi, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

Then, he smashed the kettle in his hand towards Ichiro Sagi's face.
