As night fell, Minato Namikaze quietly returned home with a look of joy on his face.

He shared with Kushina, "Kushina, today I met an extraordinary little figure, and his attainments in naming are on par with mine!"

Kushina's eyes flashed with surprise, and she said in astonishment: "Is there really someone who can match your naming skills?"

Namikaze Minato smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I couldn't believe it at first, but he named it in front of me. What's even more amazing is that he is just a little boy of only nine years old."

Kushina couldn't help but tease, "Nine years old? Aren't you working in the Anbu? Did you apply to be transferred to the Ninja School to be a teacher?"

Namikaze Minato shook his head in denial and said seriously, "This little fellow is not ordinary. Although he is only nine years old, his strength is comparable to that of a special Jonin. The Hokage said that he defeated Tsunade-sama, who suppressed her strength to the level of a Chunin, in the early graduation assessment."

After hearing this, Kushina couldn't help but sigh: "What a little genius, Minato, you must take good care of this little friend when you are on a mission."

Namikaze Minato nodded solemnly: "Of course, as his captain, I will naturally do my best to protect his safety."

At about five o'clock the next morning, Hōdō was already standing at the place agreed upon last night. Although Tenmei repeatedly advised him to have breakfast first, Hōdō insisted on following Minato Namikaze's instructions.

At six o'clock, Minato Namikaze arrived here on time. He looked at Dawn and said, "Super Invincible and Absolutely Delicious Big Wheel Mountain Hayate, it seems that you are a ninja with a strong sense of time. Next, I will lead you into the hall of missions."

Poxiao was a little embarrassed to hear the nickname, so he offered his own suggestion: "Captain, I think nicknames are more suitable for shouting out when facing the enemy. Can we just call each other simpler in private?"

Namikaze Minato pondered for a moment and nodded: "You are right. If you call the same nickname frequently, it will indeed make the nickname lose its original deterrent effect. In this case, I will call you Hayate in private."

Afterwards, the two came to the Anbu mission office. Namikaze Minato asked Xiaoxiao to choose three missions by himself, and told him that this was not just a simple choice, but also a test of his ability.

Dawn looked around and was dazzled by the array of tasks. After careful consideration, he finally chose a survey mission and two missions to eliminate stray ninjas.

Namikaze Minato asked curiously: "Why did you choose these three tasks?"

Poxiao explained: "Originally, I planned to select three clearing missions, but found that there were only two to choose from. Then I looked at other missions, and when I saw the path that needed to be surveyed for this survey mission, I found that it happened to pass through the two places that needed to be cleared, so I chose this option."

After hearing this, Namikaze Minato nodded with satisfaction, "That's right. After the Second World War, many stray ninjas did emerge around the Land of Fire. Although they don't pose much of a threat to us, they are indeed a disaster for passing caravans and civilians in the villages. Therefore, the task of clearing out stray ninjas is the first one to be accepted on the Anbu's task list."

Under the leadership of Namikaze Minato, Dawn arrived at the first gathering place for clearing out stray ninjas. Namikaze Minato said, "This is where stray ninjas gather. From here on, you have to go alone. Unless you pose a threat of death, I will not take action. Finally, I remind you to be careful."

Under the leadership of Minato Namikaze, the two quickly arrived at their first target location. Minato Namikaze said in a deep voice: "This is the location of our first mission. From now on, you will have to walk the rest of the way alone. Unless it is a matter of life and death, I will definitely not take action, so you must be careful."

Poxiao nodded, and then went up alone. Most of these wandering ninjas entrenched in the mountains and forests were of average strength, and took pleasure in bullying the common people. The strongest of these wandering ninjas in the mountains and forests was only at the level of Chunin.

After Poxiao separated from Minato Namikaze, he immediately formulated this tactic. Then he walked alone to the gate of the village, and without saying a word, he used secret shooting techniques to fiercely attack the group of wandering ninjas.

This group of wandering ninjas usually behaved in a very bad way, committing all kinds of evil including burning, killing, looting and so on, so Dawn showed no mercy to them at all.

Although the skill of the secret shooting was like child's play for a ninja of Tsunade's strength, it was a fatal blow to these wandering ninjas. The secret shooting filled the sky like a torrential rain, bombarding every corner of the village. In an instant, dust flew everywhere and the village was in chaos.

After a while, Poxiao stopped and looked at the silent village. He stepped into it and carefully checked whether there were any fish that had escaped.

Namikaze Minato, who was watching the battle on the side, shook his head slightly and sighed, "Although I have heard about his father's deeds before, I was a little confused about his father's title at that time. Now it seems that he has perfectly inherited his father's character. He is worthy of being the ninja who is most like a samurai in the mouth of the Hokage. However, since he is now under my command, I must correct these problems of his. Otherwise, with his reckless character, I am afraid that he will encounter difficulties sooner or later in the future."

Meanwhile, in Konoha Village, undercurrents were surging beneath the calm surface.

Some villagers were talking about it: "Master White Fang actually failed the mission in order to save his companions. As a ninja, isn't the mission the first priority? I don't know why he chose this."

Someone else echoed, "Yes, a ninja who dies in the mission can be called a hero, but if the mission fails and someone survives, they will definitely be despised."

Qimusumao has been suffering from rumors recently. At first, it was just one or two people whispering to each other, and he didn't take it seriously. However, within just a few days, the whole village was spreading the news.

Today, the companions he rescued also came to visit him in person. Hatake Tsumabuchi thought they were afraid of being punished by the Hokage, so he comforted them: "Don't pay too much attention to the comments of those people outside. If there is really a need for accountability, I will explain it clearly to the Hokage, you just need to put the blame on me."

However, his rescued companions angrily questioned: "Hatake Sumo, why did you choose to abandon the mission? As a ninja for many years, don't you know the importance of the mission? You gave up the mission to save us. How can we explain to the villagers? Are you afraid of death, or are we dragging you down?"

Facing his companion's accusation, Hatake Sumo was speechless. Another companion also said indignantly: "If we die in the mission, at least we can leave behind the name of heroes, the village will take care of our families, and our families will be proud of it. But in this situation, how can you let us gain a foothold in Konoha?"

The other companions also echoed and put all the blame on Qi Mu Su Mao.
