Konoha's Ninja Successor

"Sandaime, why did you come to me?"

Teru Shimura was originally standing at the root tissue research center reading Hashirama's cell research report when he was suddenly summoned by the semi-retired Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen. He didn't know what the Sandaime wanted to do with him.

"Hui, it's been nearly two weeks since you returned to the village. I think it's time to hand over some things to you." Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was practicing calligraphy, put down the brush in his hand and said to Shimura Hui, who had just entered the door.

Under Shimura Teru's puzzled gaze, Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a scroll and handed it to Shimura Teru, and then said with a lonely look: "This is what Minato asked me to hand over to you before he died. There were too many things going on some time ago. I’ve been delayed, now it’s time to leave it to you.”

Shimura Teru's expression changed slightly, and a moment of sadness briefly stayed on his face. Shimura Teru did not open the scroll, but looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and asked: "Sandaime, did Minato say anything before he left..."

Minato Namikaze was Shimura Teru's best friend in the world. His death was the most heartbreaking thing for Shimura Teru. In the past eight years, every time he thought about it, his heart still felt like a knife.

"Minato only said that you will understand when you see the contents of the scroll. There are multiple seals on the scroll that even I can't open. I guess only you who have the best relationship with Minato know how to open this scroll." Hiruzen sighed and said.

Every time he mentioned the fourth generation Hokage, whom he was extremely optimistic about, Sarutobi Hiruzen would always feel heartache and pity. Although the fifth generation Hatake Sakumo had a very high standard as a Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen could not help but sigh.

"Thank you, Sandaime. I'll leave if there's nothing else to do." Shimura Teru clenched the scroll in his hand, and he was also looking forward to what Minato would leave for him.

"Yes." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, Shimura Teru also said goodbye to the other party and directly used the Flying Thunder God to return to the root organization.

In order to prevent the information Minato told him from being heard by others, Shimura Teru must go to a secret and safe place.The Root Organization is now a department belonging to Teru Shimura. Even if Obito Uchiha wants to sneak in here, he cannot escape Shimura Teru's perception.

Shimura Teru placed the scroll in his hand on the ground, sensing the chakra flow and sealing technique on the scroll to identify what kind of seal Minato left. This kind of seal, which even the third generation could not break, is definitely not a simple sealing technique. .

"Huh? This is the blood contract sealing technique!" Shimura Teru looked stunned. He discovered that the scroll left by Namikaze Minato was actually only a continuous blood contract sealing technique, not a super difficult sealing technique.

The blood contract sealing technique is a sealing technique that requires the blood of the caster and the blood of others. The method of unlocking the seal also requires the blood of the designated blood person. If the seal is forcibly released, the contents of the scroll will be directly destroyed.During the Third Ninja War, both Teru Shimura and Minato Namikaze relied on this sealing technique to transmit information to ensure that the information would not be leaked.

"No wonder the Sandaime can't break this seal, Minato, you are still as cautious as ever..." Shimura Teru murmured softly, his tone full of nostalgia for his friend.

"Blood Contract Seal Form. Unraveled!"

Shimura Teru then bit his finger, quickly formed a seal with one hand, and then pressed his bloody finger on the word "sealing" on the surface of the scroll.

Bang...

A white smoke dissipated, and the red rope on the scroll fell off directly. Then a burst of chakra was attached to the scroll, directly suspended in mid-air.

In Shimura Teru's surprised look, a residual shadow formed by the concentration of chakra appeared out of thin air. The appearance of this shadow was exactly that of the fourth generation Hokage Namikaze Minato.

"Is the soul sealed by the corpse..." Shimura Teru looked at the afterimage of his friend's soul, his eyes even more sad.

Minato Minato slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Shimura Teru's reddish eyes and the subtle changes in Shimura Teru's appearance many years later, a smile appeared on Namikaze Minato's face: "Sure enough...I I know Hui that you will not die easily in the chaos of the Nine Tails, it seems that it has been a long time since my death."

"Stop talking nonsense! How long can you last in this state?" Shimura Teru's face turned cold and he directly interrupted Namikaze Minato.

"Uh..." Minato Namikaze didn't expect that Shimura Teru's first words when he saw him were this, and then his face was stunned. Then he looked at Shimura Teru, who was nearly thirty, and smiled bitterly: "After so many years, your temper has changed." It really hasn’t changed, unfortunately, this chakra clone of mine can only exist for 5 minutes.”

"You must have something to convey to me. If you had listened to my advice back then, maybe I wouldn't have to bear so much pressure now." Shimura Teru said angrily. In front of Namikaze Minato, Shimura Teru subconsciously returned to the way he used to be. Personality patterns.

Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly and scratched his head. He couldn't argue with Shimura Teru preaching to him like this. After all, he did leave Shimura Teru alone to seal the Kyuubi.

"Before you convey the important information, I will tell you roughly what happened in the past few years through genjutsu, and try to shorten the explanation time as much as possible." After Shimura Teru finished speaking, he immediately formed a seal to cast a mental genjutsu on the residual image of Namikaze Minato's soul, and also Not giving Minato a chance to say anything more.

"Illusion. Memory House Technique!"

This memory house technique was inspired by Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi. The length of time in this illusion can also be determined by the user's control.

But after all, it is not as good as the Mangekyou Sharingan's ability. There is a limit to time control in genjutsu. Shimura Teru's limit can only be one moment in reality and three hours in the fantasy world. It is weaker than Tsukuyomi. Too much.

However, this ninjutsu can perfectly reproduce the memory that he wants to present to Minato, so as not to waste too much time on explanations. After meeting his friends after a long absence, Shimura Teru does not want to waste time on meaningless exchanges of information.

"This is..." Minato Namikaze looked at the clip Shimura Teru showed him with a solemn expression. Especially when Shimura Teru was severely injured by the mysterious man who released the Kyuubi, Minato Namikaze, who didn't know about it, was heartbroken. A tight.

Then how Shimura Teru pretended to be dead and escaped, the important events that happened in the ninja world in recent years, and Shimura Teru's return to Konoha's arrangement against the masked man, until the appearance of Pain's Six Paths, etc., all these things Shimura Teru reappeared To Namikaze Minato.

After removing the illusion, Shimura Teru looked at Namikaze Minato calmly, and Namikaze Minato also had a rough outline of what had happened in the past few years.

"I have worked hard for you over the years, Teru..." Minato Namikaze showed an apologetic smile.

"What do you want to convey to me? Protect Konoha? Take care of your son? If you have anything to say, please tell me before your soul power is exhausted." Shimura Teru said calmly.

"Haha..." Namikaze Minato smiled awkwardly, and then immediately became serious and said: "Originally, I planned to convey the danger of the masked man, but now it seems that the information you have in hand far exceeds my imagination."

After speaking, Minato also took a deep look at Shimura Teru. Obviously, he also noticed that Shimura Teru was special. After all, the masked man's information was not something that could be grasped by just collecting information casually.Minato Namikaze had always felt that his friend Teru Shimura was a little special, but now it seemed that his friend was still hiding a lot of things from him.

Shimura Teru looked directly at Minato without changing his expression. He knew in his heart that the other party was suspicious. However, Shimura Teru still did not intend to mention the fact that he had memories of previous lives. After all, it would only increase trouble for the present and would not be harmful to the current situation. any further developments.

"You have also done a good job in handling the Uchiha clan. I am relieved that Sakumo-senpai has become the fifth generation. The only problem left is the Kyuubi." Namikaze Minato thought of his wife when he mentioned the Kyuubi. Son, there was a bit of guilt in his eyes.

"Hui, the power of the Nine-Tails is too powerful, so I divided it into two parts and sealed it. One half left with me, and the other half was sealed in...Naruto's body. After I die, Naruto will definitely die because of the jinchura He bears the pain and risks as the son of Riki and the Yondaime, so I hope you can help me take good care of him."

"The information about the weakening of the Kyuubi must not be leaked! The truth about the masked man must be taken absolutely seriously." Namikaze Minato's face softened, and a gentle smile once again appeared on his face: "I originally wanted you to help me solve many things, but I didn't expect it. You helped me solve most of the things. It seems that we have come together. It seems that the two of us still have a high degree of tacit understanding."

"You guy...you can still laugh even though people are dead." Shimura Teru endured the sadness in his heart, but put on a cold smile on his face.
