Konoha's Five Attributes Ninja

Chapter 351 Sakura's Magic and Bad News

After the autumn wind blew, everything began to bleak. The cold wind from the Iron Kingdom and the Snow Kingdom plateau quietly descended on Konoha, leaving thick white frost on the ground in just one night.

Minato got up early in the morning. He first refined his chakra in the room and took a quick shower. Then he went to the next room to wake up his beloved son Uzumaki Naruto - Kushina had gone out to buy groceries, so she asked him to help the prince change clothes and eat.

Naruto, with sleepy eyes, yawned and squinted, walked into the bathroom, and soon came out refreshed, his young face full of youthful vitality.

The breakfast was simple, a small pot of white rice porridge, four fried dough sticks, four steamed buns and two cut salted duck eggs. After the father and son finished their meal, they did not leave home immediately, but instead started chatting, which was rare.

"Naruto, when exactly is your school's graduation internship scheduled?"

According to convention, schools directly under the Konoha Ninja Village arrange internships for students one and a half years before graduation. The specific locations are basically in remote rural areas. The purpose is to train students and let them truly feel the tremendous changes brought about by the new policy.

"Stupid dad, I told you at home a few days ago that the internship will start the day after tomorrow."

Naruto glared at his father in dissatisfaction, his cheeks puffing up in a very cute way.

Minato smiled fondly, "Are you in a group with Sasuke?"

"Of course, we applied in advance, and Iruka-sensei has guaranteed that there will be no problem."

In fact, when it comes to graduation internships, a ninja school teacher does not have the power to decide how students form teams and where they go. The reason why the two of them can be in the same group is that they had arranged it in advance.

"Then there is one spot left. Who would you like to partner with?"

Naruto's sky blue eyes rolled and he said without hesitation: "I want Sakura to join!"

Minato's expression remained unchanged, with a hint of certainty in his eyes: "Okay, go to school. This matter depends on the specific arrangements."

"Thank you dad!"

Naruto went to school happily, thinking about how he should show off his good father to Sakura when he got to school.

Little did he know that when Naruto just walked out of the house, Kushina, who had been lurking for a long time, appeared with a basket of vegetables, but her face turned pale and blue, and she looked very unhappy.

As expected, Kushina started her attack with a veiled tone: "Don't you know how to clean the table after dinner? You let me do everything. I am also one of the best ninjas in the village, not your babysitter!"

Minato smiled bitterly as he cleared the dishes. After a moment, he poured a glass of water for the angry Kushina: "Okay, okay, the child is growing up and has his own ideas. We should not interfere too much."

It would have been fine if she hadn't said this, but once she did, Kushina exploded: "Not interfering? You want me not to interfere with a child I almost died carrying for ten months before giving birth? You want me not to interfere with a son I raised with all my heart? Do you believe I can make you, the Deputy Hokage, no longer be able to do your job?"

Minato surrendered directly: "Believe me, believe me, you are the greatest in the world, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Kushina was furious and said, "That Haruno Sakura with the big forehead is a person with a weird temper and is hard to get along with. She doesn't look like that. I'm confused. What do you think Naruto likes about her? Her wide forehead? Her violent tendencies?"

"Let's put it one way or the other. Don't speak so badly of the girl."

"What I said was unbearable? Minato, are you getting old and confused? Do you know what people say about us outside?"

Kushina asked three questions in a row, her spit flying half a meter away: "Just now, Mikoto asked me if I liked girls with wide foreheads, and she also said with a smile that the Uchiha clan also had similar girls, and she hoped to get engaged to us! Also, a few days ago, Hiashi also tactfully expressed his dissatisfaction, saying that his eldest princess decided to join another group for internship, and asked us to find another one!"

"I just don't understand. You, Minato Namikaze, have been the Vice Hokage for thirteen years, how come you have lost even this sensitivity? Or did you know about it but chose to ignore it? If so, am I too gentle or is your rebellious period overdue?"

Minato was sweating profusely, even though he was surrounded by people in the office and enjoyed great glory, the decisions he made affected the lives of millions of people and he approved billions of dollars with a stroke of his pen, but in this family, he really had the lowest status.

"I admit that what you said makes a lot of sense, but everything needs to be done step by step. What if you hurt the child's heart..."

Kushina raised her eyebrows and started to speak: "You've been living a good life for a few days and now you've become ill. When we were kids, we stabbed people with knives all day long and never cried. If Uzumaki Naruto dares to say that he is depressed, I will slap him a thousand times! And you, Namikaze Minato, you, as the deputy hokage, must abuse your power for personal gain and put Hinata in Naruto's group, otherwise we will never be apart!"

Minato remained silent. Even though he had the same idea, he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Speak, are you mute?"

"Actually, Sakura is a good kid. Don't interfere too much because of her family background. These are just children playing around, don't take it seriously. We are not dead, and it's up to us to decide when Naruto gets married."

"I don't care, you have to get Hinata to Naruto's group. How can a pheasant be worthy of a phoenix!"

Minato remained silent. This was Kushina's real purpose and the fundamental reason for his resistance. For the Vice Hokage in charge of economic construction, improving the quality of the ninja school was his responsibility. He didn't need to give explicit instructions. At most, he would give a hint and someone would rush to do it perfectly.

But Minato Namikaze was unwilling to do this, not because he was a person who was free from vulgarity and had extremely noble sentiments, but because Minato couldn't stand a certain phenomenon in the village from the bottom of his heart.

More than a decade ago, when Sarutobi Hiruzen was in power, the village was popular with connections and personal relationships. No matter how important the position or the task was, the first thing to consider when selecting talents was your background and connections. For example, due to the surge in the number of tasks in recent years, the director of the Task Department applied for the establishment of a deputy director position, who was specifically responsible for handling task management below level B. Although he is just a deputy director, his power is comparable to that of an ordinary deputy director, at least more powerful than the Security Department. So the question is, Uchiha Fugaku has the ability, strength and relevant management experience, do you think he can be selected? The answer is beyond doubt. At that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen's policy was to overthrow Uchiha and implement the principle of everything: all ninjas of the Uchiha clan, no matter how capable they are, will not be used; all policies targeting the Uchiha clan, no matter how outrageous, will be implemented.

According to the information Minato read himself, during the reign of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sarutobi clan had a surge in talents, with many ministers and deputy ministers, and dozens of directors and deputy directors. It was simply a typical example of one person's success bringing success to the entire clan.

Hayama still has not married or had children. Minato still remembers that it was a meeting shortly after he took office as Vice Hokage. Hayama made it clear that he would not consider personal matters during his term of office. The reason was simple: he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and abuse his power for personal gain.

If only one person holds power, Ye Shan's power is nothing more than eating and drinking well, which is nothing to a great country. But after having children, you have to start thinking about paving the way for your children, and give them the best education, the best life, and the best future. This is human nature, and no one should say that they can be selfless, because it is pure nonsense.

Take Minato for example. Since he took office as the deputy Hokage, he has used his position to bring a lot of convenience to his family and children. Because Naruto is the son of the Hokage, his seat in the class has always been in the first three rows; because Naruto is the son of the Hokage, he is greeted with smiles wherever he goes; because Naruto is the son of the Hokage, he has been able to get whatever he wants since he was a child....

Of course, it's not all because Minato is the Hokage. In fact, Naruto himself is very special. He is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, one of the few high-end fighters in the village, and it is reasonable for him to be treated with some respect. Minato believes that even if he died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he can live a comfortable life in the village just because his son is the Jinchuriki. At least he can't escape the title of Konoha Hero...

But it is precisely because of this that Minato does not consider himself superior to others!

Yes, that's right, now all the ninjas in the village think they are superior!

After graduation, students of the Uchiha clan will be assigned to the New Rain Country or the vicinity of the capital of the Fire Country, where conditions are excellent, transportation is convenient, and reforms are more thorough, so they can achieve certain political achievements more quickly; while students from ordinary families who have worked hard for more than ten years to study and train, after graduation, will mostly go to work in remote areas such as the Hot Spring Country, the Frost Country, and the Water Country. Once assigned, it is difficult for them to be transferred back, and it is also difficult for them to be noticed by the personnel department and promoted.

Minato was born into a commoner family, so it was normal for him to dislike such things, but he was powerless to change it.

"Kushina," Minato said solemnly, calling his wife by her name. "Please don't say that a pheasant is not worthy of a phoenix anymore. It's not good for the children to hear it."

Kushina glared and turned on the battle mode: "I know what you are thinking. You just feel that as the Hokage, you should set an example and resolutely not use your authority to interfere in the children's affairs."

"But don't forget, Naruto is the third generation Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha Ninja Village, and he shoulders the responsibility of defending the last dignity of the village! Once Konoha is really beaten to the doorstep by the enemy, others may have the option of surrendering to survive, but Naruto will definitely die!"

"Moreover, Naruto also has the task of breeding high-quality Jinchūriki for the village. Let me ask you, how can excellent offspring be cultivated without excellent parents?"

Minato was speechless, he found that he seemed to have no reason to refuse.

"I'm asking you to dilly-dally on a small matter. I'm not asking you to embezzle hundreds of millions to give to your son, nor am I asking you to abuse your power to promote your son to Hokage. It's just a question about a teammate during the internship. Do you think you're wasting an hour at home?"

Kushina became more and more angry as she spoke: "You don't have to do this. I'll write the application report right away. Anyway, don't even think about getting close to my son, Haruno Sakura. I don't like her!"

"You obviously like the Uchiha family kid, but you keep hanging on to my son and treat him like a dog. I absolutely cannot tolerate this!"

Minato: “….”

No, why didn’t you just say it earlier? Okay, okay, Naruto treats me like a dog, and Naruto is treated like a dog by Sakura. Doesn’t that mean I am Sakura’s dog’s dog?

mD, what a sin!

In the Hokage's office, Yeshan was eating breakfast, and Yamashiro Hoshi, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, was looking at him with a smile.

"In a few months it will be Chen's fifteenth anniversary. Please prepare the relevant things in advance."

"Don't worry about my elder brother's affairs. Mother has been talking about it for half a year."

Ye Shan nodded and said, "Today's chicken soup wontons are good."

"If you like it, I'll make it for you next time."

"Let's make beef fritters next time. I haven't eaten them for a long time."

"OK!"

The open office door was roughly pushed open and Kushina walked in with an unhappy look on her face, followed by a crestfallen Minato.

"Did you two have a fight?"

"Yayama, please be fair, Minato is really outrageous!"

Ye Shan took a sip of chicken soup and said with a smile: "Everyone sit down and talk. It's still early. The next meeting will be in half an hour. Let's talk slowly."

Kushina sat on the sofa angrily and took the lead in attacking: "I am just a housewife. According to the rules, I have no right to interfere in the important matters of the village. But I am also a ninja who has made contributions to the village. It is not too much to ask for a small request, right?"
