Konoha: Start by choosing to become Hokage

While Madara Uchiha was hanging on to his oxygen tube, Hinata also returned to the frontline camp, merged with his shadow clone, and continued to treat the injured.

As Minato Namikaze led Hatake Kakashi and the others to destroy the Kannabi Bridge and rush to the front line to support them, the protracted war between Konoha and Iwagakure was basically decided.

After taking a rest after treating an injured person, Hinata went out for a little exercise.

Looking at the relaxed state of the frontline ninjas, Hinata Bin received an optional task from the system:

[The battle of Kannabi Bridge is over, you will be famous in the ninja world. 】

[Option A: Go straight in, charge into the main camp of Iwagakure Village, and capture the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki alive. Completion reward: Samsara Eye (SSS level reward). 】

[Option B: Actively cooperate with Orochimaru, who has not yet defected, to conduct scientific research experiments. Completion reward: Immortal Human Body (SS level reward). 】

[Option C: Set a small goal and become the fifth generation Hokage's man. Completion reward: Random attribute point +0.1. 】

[Option D: Give Uzumaki Yukina a kiss of friendship. Completion reward: Flying Thunder God Technique (S-level reward). 】

Hmm... Choose the shortest among three long and one short, and the shortest one is D.

After looking at Namikaze Minato, whose eyes narrowed into a line not far away, Hinata decided to choose C and set a small goal.

The mission is not important, he mainly likes the unknown possibility of random attribute points.

…

October of the forty-seventh year of Konoha.

The war between Konoha and Iwagakure ended completely, and the two sides began to negotiate and sign a peace agreement.

Because of the defeat of Iwagakure Village, Kumogakure Village had to shrink its defense line and stop provoking Konoha.

Although Konoha defeated the three great ninja villages of Sunagakure, Kirigakure and Iwagakure one after another, it suffered 1,000 casualties to the enemy and 800 losses to itself.

At this time, Konoha has entered a period of weakness and is unable to launch a war with Kumogakure.

Hinata Bin followed the large army back to Konoha and entered a salty state.

Until a week later, Hinata Bin was summoned again by the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen who had not yet resigned.

Since being promoted to Special Jounin, Hinata Bin has been visited by Hiruzen Sarutobi much more frequently.

When he was still a genin, he probably wouldn't meet Sarutobi Hiruzen once a year.

"Bin-kun, I called you here this time because there is a very important task for you to complete." Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his usual cigarette and said earnestly to the handsome Hinata Bin.

"Third Hokage, please tell me." Hinata Bin could only cooperate and ask Sarutobi Hiruzen, and gained energy +0.1.

"A few months have passed since the decisive battle with Kirigakure Village. In the past few months, there has been no movement in Kirigakure Village. Even the ninjas on the border have all evacuated. When things go wrong, there must be monsters. We need to know more about Kirigakure Village. Information. The mission you need to perform this time is to enter the Kingdom of Water and investigate the specific situation and trends of Kirigakure Village." Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately told the content of this mission.

"I understand." Hinata Bin nodded and continued to ask: "Lord Hokage, who is the captain of this mission?"

"You are the temporary captain of this mission, and you will be assisted by two jonins, Shikato-kun and Akino-kun." Sarutobi Hiruzen took a long puff of his old cigarette and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.

"Hokage-sama, I have never been the captain of a team. I think Shikato Jounin is more suitable to be the captain than me." Hinata Bin didn't want to be the captain.

"Hinata-kun, you are excellent and have experience in carrying out missions in Kirigakure Village. The captain this time has been decided, and it must be you." Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately rejected Hinata's idea.

"Haha, okay, thank you, the Third Hokage, for trusting me. I will definitely live up to your expectations, trust, and mission and complete this mission."

Hinata Bin could only accept this enthusiastically.

As a Konoha ninja, unless he ran away, he had no right to refuse the Hokage's personal arrangement of tasks and identity.

"I have already explained the situation to Mr. Luyuan and Mr. Akino. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. You can leave early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

"..."

…

After leaving the Hokage's office, Hinata began to prepare supplies for his "business trip".

This is the first time Hinata Bin has led a team on a mission. It is an S-level mission, so he naturally needs to be more prepared.

Try to have three people go and three people come back.

Along the way to the ninja shop, Hinata met Minato Namikaze who was selecting chakra metal.

"Minato-senpai." Hinata greeted him proactively.

Compared to the old silver third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hinata Bin still prefers to get along with Namikaze Minato who is about to become the fourth generation Hokage.

Hearing Hinata's cry, Namikaze Minato turned around, smiled at Hinata and asked, "Hin, are you also going to customize ninja tools?"

"I'm here to buy some ninja tools and I'm about to go on a mission." Hinata Bin also smiled back.

Both of them have contagious smiles, and they look like decent people at first glance.

The only difference is that Hinata Bin's eyes are still clear and pure when he smiles, while Namikaze Minato's eyes will narrow into a line and become squinting eyes.

"Going to the Land of Water?" Namikaze Minato continued to ask.

"Yeah." Hinata Bin nodded.

Namikaze Minato will take office as Hokage in less than a month, so it's unusual not to know about these secret missions.

"The movements in Kirigakure Village in recent months have been very strange. Your mission this time is very dangerous. You must pay attention to safety." Namikaze Minato reminded Hinata.

"I will be careful." Hinata Bin nodded.

"Hinata-kun, I just have something and I want to ask your opinion." Namikaze Minato said to Hinata Bin with a sincere invitation: "I will be taking office as the Fourth Hokage in the middle of next month. I would like to invite you to become the fourth Hokage." A member of my Shadow Guard."

Before Hinata could answer, Namikaze Minato added, "I want to ask you what you think first. If you agree, I will communicate with the Hyuga clan."

Most of the ninjas would have flushed with excitement at these words and would have liked to agree immediately.

But Hyuga Bin was not like most ninjas. He did not immediately agree to Minato Namikaze, but asked a question to Minato Namikaze: "Senior Minato, would you like to ask if the work of the Shadow Guards will be very busy? Do they need to be on duty every day? Clock in and clock in.”

"I currently have less than ten candidates for the Shadow Guard. The early work may be a little harder. It will be better to select some ninjas to join the Shadow Guard later." Namikaze Minato revealed in one sentence that Sarutobi Hiruzen did not The fact that some power was given to him before he took office.

Otherwise, there are more than 3,000 young ninjas under the age of 30 in Konoha. How could Namikaze Minato be so stretched, with only less than ten people to choose from.

"Minato-senpai, if you join the Shadow Guard, can you not do your usual duty?" Hinata Bin directly expressed his thoughts.

He was willing to become Minato Namikaze's shadow guard, but he didn't want to guard the door of the Hokage's office every day. It was too boring.

"If there are enough manpower, you don't need to be on duty." Namikaze Minato didn't give Hinata Bin a definite answer, and Hinata Bin didn't rush to answer immediately:

"You can think about it. Don't rush to give me an answer right away. Give me an answer when you come back from this mission."

"Xingkouba."

I’ll reply after I get back from the mission...

Hinata Bin felt that Namikaze Minato had invisibly set a flag for him.
