The days when I worked part-time in Konoha

In the morning, Shuimu went out as usual, but the moment he opened the door, an uninvited guest came.

"Mizuki, Hokage-sama wants you to go there."

The person who came was wearing an animal mask and his tone was cold, just like the thick white snow outside without any warmth.

"understood."

When the ANBU heard this, he ducked and disappeared.

Mizuki closed the door, turned around and walked towards the Hokage's office building. He guessed in his mind that the reason why the Third Hokage saw him was definitely not to care about his daily life, and it was unlikely that he would be assigned a teacher. In all likelihood, it was to assign a task.

However, the previous tasks were all directly issued by the ANBU. This time, Mizuki made a special trip to the Hokage's method room. Mizuki felt that the task was not that simple.

A moment later, Mizuki appeared in the Hokage's office and bowed respectfully.The tense atmosphere between Iwagakure and Konoha has been lifted, and I am afraid that the Third Hokage played a key role in it.

The Third Hokage said with a kind face: "It's Mizuki, you came very quickly."

Mizuki said: "Hokage-sama has a destiny, and I don't dare to neglect it."

The Third Hokage said: "Mizuki, I heard that you recently learned medical ninjutsu from Lin and successfully mastered palm ninjutsu. I would like to congratulate you. Konoha also has an excellent medical ninja."

Learning medical ninjutsu requires not only sufficient talent, but also perseverance. Often, many ninjas are forced to give up because they do not meet these two points. This has to be said to be a pity.

The proportion of medical ninjas in the village was too small. After a war, many ninjas died because they did not receive timely treatment. Although the third Hokage was talented and resourceful, he could not change this situation.

Mizuki became a medical ninja, which meant that the casualty rate of Konoha ninjas would be reduced on future battlefields.

Mizuki said hurriedly: "Lord Hokage, you are serious. My level of medical knowledge is far from excellent."

The Third Hokage smiled, he likes humble people, and said: "Mizuki, I know that you have been busy practicing recently, but the manpower in the village is really not enough, so I can only trouble you to complete the task."

A dignified Hokage said so politely, what else could Mizuki say? No matter how difficult the task was, he could only accept it.However, he believed that as a chuunin, the Third Hokage would not give him a task that was too difficult.

After all, the village has strict requirements for assigning tasks. The difficulty of the task is determined based on each ninja's ability and level. It is impossible to assign an S-level task to a chuunin.

"Hokage-sama is serious, the mission is the bounden duty of the ninja."

The Third Hokage handed a scroll to Mizuki and said: "This is an A-level mission, and the contents are all written on the scroll. I believe it won't be a big problem with your ability."

Mizuki took the scroll and did not open it in front of the Third Hokage. Instead, he put it away and said, "I will definitely do my best."

"You go back and prepare, and let's set off today."

"Yes."

Watching Mizuki leave, the Third Hokage picked up the pipe on the table, took a few puffs, and rushed out the door: "Minato, come in."

Minato pushed open and came in, looking at the Third Hokage: "Hokage-sama, it seems that you are not worried about Mizuki going to the Land of Snow alone."

The Third Hokage mused: "This is not an ordinary A-level mission. Even if you send a Jonin, the mission process is full of dangers. If Minato hadn't recommended it, I wouldn't have agreed."

Mizuki's talent is not inferior to Kakashi's, and he will most likely be the backbone of the village in the future. If an accident occurs during the mission, it will undoubtedly be a great loss to the village.

Although ninjas can be trained during the execution of tasks and can accelerate their growth, Mizuki is only 12 years old, and the Third Hokage feels that it is still too hasty.

Minato smiled and said: "Hokage-sama, please be assured that Mizuki has a huge amount of chakra, which is not inferior to that of an ordinary jounin. In addition, he has mastered the chakra scalpel and has an artifact that can release A-level ninjutsu. Such strength , even if he faces an elite jounin, he can escape unscathed! Moreover, Mizuki is cautious and good at catching fighter opportunities, I believe he will be able to complete the task brilliantly!"

The Third Hokage said: "I hope so. If he can successfully complete the mission and return, I will personally find a teacher for him."

"Master Hokage is wise."

No matter how talented a ninja is, he still needs guidance as he grows up. Only in this way can he become a talented person as soon as possible.Minato was an excellent ninja in all aspects. How could Mizuki hide his thoughts from him, so he approached the Third Hokage.

There happened to be a mission to the Land of Snow, so Minato suggested that the Third Hokage give the mission to Mizuki to sharpen him.

The Third Hokage glanced at him and said: "What you did in the Earth Kingdom has affected Onoki's decision-making. Our Konoha war crisis has been resolved and we have repaired with Iwagakure. But now, Kumogakure has sent a large number of manpower, Advancing towards Taki Ninja Village, its fighting intention is very obvious, Ohnoki intends to cooperate with us in Konoha."

Minato's expression changed and he said, "How does he want to cooperate?"

The Third Hokage said: "The Third Raikage is a militant. He just fought with Sunagakure two years ago and did not get much benefit. Now he will start a war with Iwagakure again. Ohnoki's intention is to deal with him tactically."

"what."

Minato was shocked, this was the shadow of a village. If Ai, the Third Raikage, died on the battlefield, how could Kumogakure's side just let it go.As a result, Konoha may be dragged down.

The Third Hokage muttered: "Although Onoki has a big appetite, I think this plan is feasible. Kumogakure has always advocated the expansion of force. The Third Raikage is very powerful. There is also the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki Kirabi. I heard that Kirabi's brother is also one." The famous shadow-level expert has three shadow-level experts at the same time. It is self-evident that Kumogakure’s attitude towards war is self-evident, so we must use strategic means to severely damage Kumokakure.”

If Kumogakure can bypass several small ninja villages and attack Iwagakure, then it is possible to launch a war against Konoha and seize the opportunity. How could the Third Hokage not understand this.

Minato said: "I don't know what Hokage-sama needs me to do."

The Third Hokage said: "The specific plan has to wait for Onoki to formulate, but according to my analysis, Onoki will most likely separate the strong Kumogakure and then defeat them one by one. Your mission is probably to intercept the strong Kumogakure and prevent him from doing so. Assist the Third Raikage. What you have to do now is to lead a group of elites to Tian Country and cooperate with Onoki. But one thing you have to remember is that this is a war between Kumogakure and Iwagakure. We, the people of Konoha Don't appear on the front lines of both sides to avoid being used by Onoki."

Minato said solemnly: "Please don't worry, Hokage-sama, I know how to do it."

"Although you became famous in the Earth Kingdom during the last mission, it is not enough compared to your teacher Jiraiya. So use this opportunity to expand your reputation and make the yellow flash famous in the ninja world."

The Third Hokage smiled meaningfully.

Minato nodded, he didn't care about reputation, as long as he could contribute to the village, that was enough.
