Konoha's logic genius

"Finally defeated my opponent."

Namikaze Minato breathed a sigh of relief.

In the battle with Hinata just now, his nerves could be said to be in a state of tension throughout. In the end, he used a very clever substitute technique and wind escape ninjutsu to defeat Hinata.

Hinata has the Byakugan Blood Succession Limit. Except for his speed, which he can gain a slight advantage with the help of Wind Release Ninjutsu, he has no other advantages.

As long as Hyuga Tian hits him with a blow, his situation will become very dangerous - the Hyuga family's moves, except for the empty palm, are all very continuous moves.

Fortunately, he had deduced many battle situations with the Hyuga clan in his hut, and fully thought about how to deal with the Hyuga clan's long-range attacks of Bagua Kongzhang and melee attacks of Baguazhang.

Namikaze Minato continues to stay in the AB venue, waiting for his next opponent. If he defeats this opponent, he will be able to enter the finals.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting on the high platform, kept nodding with admiration on his face.

At this age, this child has such a keen sense of combat. If he is given enough time to grow up, his future will be absolutely limitless.

And I heard that this Namikaze Minato is a civilian ninja, and civilian ninjas generally have a good impression of Naruto, so he is very likely to become a good candidate for his faction.

At this moment, there was some commotion on the high platform. A black-haired figure with a cane appeared on the high platform. He almost ignored Hatake Sakumo and walked towards Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting at the front.

Even one of his subordinates took the initiative to bring him a chair.

"Danzo, why do you have the time to come over and watch the actual ranking test today?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a slight frown and twinkling eyes.

"I am the Hokage's assistant. Of course I have to find some good ideas for the future of Konoha."

Danzo sat beside Sarutobi Hiruzen, minding his own business, and spoke calmly.

Danzo took out a cup of tea from his subordinate's hand and took a slow sip.

"That young man named Namikaze Minato has a mature mind and excellent fighting awareness. I think he is very suitable for the root work."

"Although we have not cultivated it from the beginning, it is not too late to cultivate it from the roots."

Hearing these words, Hatake Sakumo, who had been standing calmly, couldn't help it.

"Danzo-sama, that boy is still young. I don't think he should go to the root."

"For a young man who has been outstanding since he was a child, let him grow up freely. Only in this way can he grow as much as possible."

Danzo glanced at it lightly. At this time, Hatake Sakumo had not yet made a great name on the battlefield of World War II and became the Konoha White Fang who made the Suna Ninja Village declare that he could give up the mission when he saw it. In Danzo's eyes, he He's just a dispensable Jounin of Konoha.

"The Hokage's assistant is discussing matters with the Hokage. Do you have the right to interrupt?"

Hatake Sakumo had the urge to take out a knife and chop Danzo to death on the spot, but he knew he couldn't be impulsive. Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen came to the rescue for Hatake Sakumo.

"Danzo, you've gone too far."

"Sakumo is right. This child has a bright personality and is more suitable for the growth path of a ninja school directly under the Hokage. Please don't ask about this matter again in the future."

Sarutobi Hiruzen yelled at Shimura Danzo. As Hatake Sakumo's direct boss, he knew Hatake Sakumo's true strength.

Now in his prime, he may be able to suppress Hatake Sakumo for a while, but in a few years, Hatake Sakumo will definitely be the undisputed strongest man in Konoha Village.

If he retires early, then the Fourth Hokage will basically be born between Hatake Sakumo and his three disciples.

Moreover, the boy named Namikaze Minato is indeed very good and cannot be left to Danzo.

Roots can exist, but Hiruzen Sarutobi will not allow roots to be stronger than Anbu. This is his bottom line.

"Humph!"

Danzo Shimura snorted, expressing his dissatisfaction, but did not speak again.

Hatake Sakumo finally suppressed the pressure in his heart and turned his eyes back to the playing field.

Namikaze Minato has defeated his second opponent and arrived at the main venue for the final battle.

And Uzumaki Kiyoshi has been waiting for Namikaze Minato at the main venue early. He is now helplessly surrounded by members of the first grade and first class such as Toyama Momiji and Yakushi Nonou.

"Minato-kun, come on, come on!"

After Toyama Momiji saw Namikaze Minato, she directly called Namikaze Minato over.

Namikaze Minato trotted over.

"I didn't expect that the final would be a battle between Minato-san and Qing-san."

"In that case, no matter what, our first-year class is the biggest winner. The No. 1 and No. 2 in the lower grade group's actual ranking assessment are all ours."

Toyama Momiji said happily that as the class teacher of Uzumaki Kiyoshi and Namikaze Minato, it can be expected that after this actual ranking assessment, Toyama Momiji will get a lot of invisible benefits.

"Then Mr. Hongye, who should we cheer for?"

Pharmacist Nonoyu asked curiously.

Uzumaki Qing glanced at the pharmacist Nonoyu, his eyes seemed to say——

I am your deskmate, so of course you are cheering for me.

Yakushi Nonoyu ignored Uzumaki Kiyoshi's eyes and still stared at the red leaves of the distant mountains, trying to get answers from her.

From a perceptual point of view, although she is slightly inclined to Uzumaki Kiyo, Namikaze Minato-san is also very good.

And it would be embarrassing if she only cheered Uzumaki Kiyo while the whole class was watching.

"Yeah~~~"

Toyama Momiji twirled her chin and thought about this matter carefully. This was a dilemma. After frowning for a while, Toyama Momiji finally came up with a plan.

"Come on, both of you."

"Come one at a time."

This was the fairest solution she could think of.

"Okay, Teacher Hongye."

Pharmacist No Naiyu said obediently.

"Qing, Minato, you two should have some time to fight again. Is there anything you want to say to each other?"

Toyama Momiji finally said with a smile, pulling Uzumaki Kiyoshi and Namikaze Minato into the middle.

"Classmate Qing, the battle three months ago ended in a tie between the two of us."

Namikaze Minato said with a smile, his smile was very warm and sunny.

Uzumaki nodded.

"Logically speaking, you were stronger that time, but you couldn't use your full strength. It was me who dragged you to a tie."

"But this time, it won't be like that."

"I'll give you my all."

Although the past was a bit painful to look back on, Shibetsu Mikado looked back with admiration. He now definitely had the strength to fight Minato Namikaze with all his strength.

Namikaze Minato nodded and then said.

"Qing-san, I also hope you can go all out."

Just now, he also noticed that Uzumaki Kiyoshi has developed a variety of self-created ninjutsu, and he is an opponent that cannot be underestimated.

"it is good!"

Uzumaki Kiyoshi looked at Namikaze Minato firmly, this was the agreement between the two men.

In this battle, he will use all his strength as...

Respect for Namikaze Minato.
