The girl's words did not play any role in helping the analysis, but made her thoughts even more confusing.

Minato wanted to continue asking something, but Hatake Shio, who had been silent behind him, stopped him.

Since reading Zaizen Raiguang's memory yielded no results, Hatake Shio gave up on pursuing the deeper details of this commission. Anyway, as long as Zaizen Sachiko doesn't die and protects her for a month, he can just take the money and leave. Why bother? Do you care so much?

But Minato still couldn't let go of this matter.

"Even if I ask her or directly read her memory, I'm afraid I won't get any useful information. It's obvious from her look that she doesn't know the inside story at all."

After leaving Zaizen Sachiko's room, Hatake Shio walked in front, holding his head in his hands, and said to Minato without looking back: "As you said before, we just need to complete the task, Zaizen The family affairs have nothing to do with us."

"Such words...heh, it sounds like you have become a more qualified ninja than me."

Hearing Hatake Shio's words, Namikaze Minato laughed: "But as your partner, I want to tell you one thing now, that is, although we are ninjas, we are first of all a person, not someone who can be ordered around by others. Tools, we have a will of our own.”

"We can make our own choices in the mission according to our own will, although this may lead to mission failure."

"Suppose you are kidnapped by the enemy while the two of us are completing the mission. I will definitely make rescuing you my primary goal. Whether the mission is completed or not is secondary."

"After all, the failure of a mission can be remedied in other ways, but when a person dies, he is really dead. I don't know of any techniques that can resurrect other people."

"If all ninjas just obeyed their employers and completed their tasks casually, then there would be no need for various ninja clans and ninja villages in the world."

Namikaze Minato spoke very seriously, and Hatake Shio also listened very carefully.

His words reminded Hatake Shio of his father, Hatake Sakumo. That man dedicated his life to the village, but would also hide it from the village for the sake of his son out of his own will.

That man, if his teammates were kidnapped during a mission, he would probably give the highest priority to rescuing his teammates, even if this would cause the mission to fail.

After finishing those words, Minato stopped and found Hatakeshio leaning against the wall with an inexplicable smile on his face. This smile made Minato look uncomfortable: "Why, there is something on my face. ?"

"No, it's just a little emotional. If you want to, go ahead and do it. You are the team leader anyway." Hatake Shio opened the door: "Would you like to go to the island for a walk?"

"Hey, although I said you can make choices during the mission according to your own will, your will is too loose."

After hearing Hatake Shio's words, Minato felt helpless: "That young lady Zaizen just politely told us that we don't need to worry about her now, but we are really going out for a stroll. What if someone comes to assassinate us while we are shopping? "

"There are so many ways. Don't you have a psychic beast? Just channel one and stay in the room, and then when something happens, let it bring you back."

Hatake Shio shrugged: "If it doesn't work out, we can each leave a shadow clone as insurance, wouldn't that be enough?"

"The Second Hokage will cry when he hears the jutsu he invented being used like this."

Minato shook his head and complained mercilessly, but he kept moving his hands, and instantly channeled a red toad that was no more than half a meter tall and wearing a pair of goggles on his head.

"Hey, Minato, do you need my help with anything? Huh? Is this your new partner? Hello, I'm Kosuke Toad."

The red toad Kosuke, who was channeled from the smoke, stretched out his front paws to greet him as soon as he saw Minato. After seeing Hatake Shio, he extended the front paws he had just greeted to Hatake. In front of Mu Chao.

Hatake Chao shook his paws, then introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, I am Hatake Chao."

"Hatake? Oh, you should be the son of the white-toothed Hatake Sakumo that Jiraiya told you about. Hello, hello."

After hearing Hatake Shio's self-introduction, Kosuke Toad struck his left paw with his right paw, showing a look of sudden realization.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you, Kosuke Toad. Our mission this time is to protect the safety of the girl who lives next door."

Looking at Kosuke Toad, Minato said a little embarrassed.

"so?"

"Ah Chao and I are going to go out for a walk now, so if there is a problem, please use reverse channeling to channel me back. Please."

Minato clasped his hands together with an apologetic smile on his face.

"what?"

This is obviously the first time Kosuke Toad has encountered such a request. Is it still possible to do this for a security mission?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems possible.

"The two of us will also leave shadow clones in the room, so you don't have to worry too much."

Hatake Shio added while releasing his shadow clone.

Is this a matter of concern?

Kosuke Toad complained in his heart, but it was not a big problem, so he waved his front paws: "Go, go, remember to come back early."

After saying goodbye to Kosuke Toad, the two left the hotel and wandered around Ocha Island.

However, when the two of them walked near a shop, Minato suddenly stood there and was stunned.

Hatake Shio looked forward in his direction. There was a man with long hair, earrings, pale face, and a rather gloomy appearance. Was he someone Minato knew?

"Master Orochimaru?"

Minato's voice next to him was full of disbelief: "Is it you? Orochimaru-sama."

"Huh? So it's Minato."

It also sounded quite cold, slightly hoarse and neutral. Orochimaru turned his head and looked at Minato: "And...oh? Hatake Shio? It turns out that the old man directly arranged you to be with Minato. Yes."

Orochimaru, Hatake Shio heard his father say his name, a man known as Sannin together with Jiraiya Tsunade, and a student of the Third Hokage.

Before time travel, Hatake Shio often saw Orochimaru's name in the comment area of ​​video clips, but most people called him Aunt Snake, saying that he had mastered the core technology and would use his own genes to clone a child in the future. A son is both a father and a mother.

To be honest, it is really rare to meet such a person in Naruto's world view.

But what does it mean to hear what he just said, "So that's how it is"?
