Konoha: Start with omniscience and omnipotence

Chapter 43 [043] Mission

Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took off his hat and smoked his pipe fiercely one after another, the smoke drifting away.

The Sandaime Hokage is now nearly fifty years old, although he is at the peak of his life as a ninja.

But as a person, he has begun to age and stagnate.

When he was dealing with official duties recently, he could find some things that he obviously didn't think quite right, but he was still in a hurry to solve them, so he had to deal with them hastily.

Despite this, others still respectfully call him 'Hokage-sama'.

It seems that no matter whether what they do is good or bad, they don't care much about it.

Only those ninjas who were the 'enemy' were still forcing him to work up his energy, which occasionally made people feel ironic.

As a result, he had no choice but to pour out his restless energy at home.

The old couple also gave birth to a son last year.

"."

"Third generation sir?"

The administrative secretary beside him whispered a reminder, and Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly woke up.

"Sorry, Shikaji."

"I'm distracted."

"Where were we talking about just now?"

Nara Shikaji added in a low voice: "Since customers have chosen the Uchiha clan at a much higher rate than other ninja clans in recent years, there are already many small families who are dissatisfied with your tax rate requirements."

"If their commission amount cannot be increased in the second half of the year."

Nara Shikaji did not continue.

This kind of thing is considered an economic issue at first glance, but in fact it directly interferes with the upper-level game.

After sitting there in silence for a few seconds, Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his eyebrows and said:

"First, draw it from the reserve fund, and also adjust the task selection method to balance their attitudes."

"yes."

After receiving this order, Nara Shikaji breathed a sigh of relief.

Without Lord Hokage's approval, the weight of the stool under his butt is not enough for others to toss around.

When Nara Shikaji took the order and went out, Sarutobi Hiruzen was the only one left in the office.

He sat at the table for a long time.

At first, support yourself on the desk with both hands.

Then, he bent down again and lay on the table.

The back gradually became unbearably curved and became rickets.

It was like there was some invisible weight on his shoulders, making him unable to breathe, but he wanted to tighten his grip even more.

The contradictions are endless.

This is what power feels like.

"Dong dong."

Hearing the knock on the door outside, the middle-aged man's aging body seemed to be suddenly filled with strength for some unknown reason, and he suddenly straightened his rickety body.

Power can really support many things.

Therefore, the gloom on his old face quickly dissipated, revealing his still kind smile:

"Please come in."

Then, Orochimaru opened the door and came in from the outside.

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyebrows. Seeing that it was his student, he was secretly relieved and even his tone became more relaxed: "It's Orochimaru, what's the matter?"

"Teacher, I plan to go out."

"The Intelligence Department discovered something interesting at the border of River Country. I plan to go and see it with my own eyes."

Orochimaru still had that indifferent expression on his face and got straight to the point.

Only a pair of golden vertical pupils subconsciously looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, as if he had seen through something, and smiled casually:

"I'm looking for someone to meet you by the way."

"River Country?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen recalled the location of that country and thought: "When is the mission? Who is it?"

"About a month."

Orochimaru showed a smile that was completely harmless: "As for the candidate."

"Hmm~"

Aida Masaki stood at the gate of Konoha Village and stretched.

Last night, in order to help Zhenya arrange the "Return of Life" sealing technique, he spent a lot of energy and spent a whole night to complete it.

I'm still a little sleepy until now.

Of course, I still didn’t get to eat the red beans and rice.

"Jiang Hui?"

As soon as he arrived at the gate, Namikaze Minato, who had short golden hair, saw a figure in the queue that surprised him.

"Morning, Minato."

Aida Masaki smiled and waved his hands.

Namikaze Minato quickly came closer, leaning against his shoulder and whispered: "How could you. I mean, aren't you still in a protective period because of 'that'?"

With his excellent teleportation, sealing techniques and wind release ninjutsu, Namikaze Minato became a jounin of Konoha early on. I heard that he is currently studying some topic related to "Extreme Changes in Chakra Forms", but it seems that there is no progress yet.

.

With his position level and sealing skills, he naturally understands the 'Tianzhi Zhenxing' created by Aida Masaki.

According to rumors, it is a terrifying ninjutsu that is comparable to the tailed beast jade.

Moreover, Jiang Hui also carries a high reward!

How can you go out?

His words were purely sincere.

Aida Masaki still had that iconic gentle smile on his face, and he said warmly: "I was a little confused at first, but now it seems that my doubts have been resolved."

Namikaze Minato was startled at first, and then he noticed several rapidly moving familiar chakras.

"call--"

The hurricane spread, and a figure stretched out his hand to disperse the wind caused by the instantaneous body, revealing his figure.

Behind him, several people were standing or squatting.

"It seems that everyone has arrived."

Orochimaru's voice is very recognizable, hoarse and deep.

Behind him, there are three people including Haiyi in the mountains, Hizashi Hizashi, and Baiyun Zazao.

It's Orochimaru's team.

The moment he saw this team, Namikaze Minato understood what Aida Masaki meant.

Among the people present, except for Baiyun Zaza, who was still a chuunin because of his young age, the others were all famous geniuses in the village or clan, and had reached the jounin level in their teens or twenties.

A combination of five jounin and one chunin.

Not to mention completing any tasks, as long as you don't confront the Great Ninja Village and destroy some small countries, it will be enough.

At the same time, it has complete sensing, analysis, and sealing positions, forming a standard joint transnational investigation team.

If safety cannot be guaranteed in such a team, then the risk of staying in the village will be even higher - Konoha Village is not a small place, and even the Hokage and ANBU cannot protect everyone.

However, what surprised him even more was that

Namikaze Minato turned his head, looked at his friends beside him, and discovered something keenly.

'Is Jiang Hui's chakra perception coverage wider than mine?'

Aida Masaki smiled at him, he always had this warm, kind and kind look.

Orochimaru stood in the center of the crowd, waiting for them to get acquainted with each other for a few words before announcing this mission:

"The goal of this mission is to investigate and seal an abnormal energy vein located in the Kingdom of Rivers."

"Because the location is close to the Land of Wind, there is a high possibility of conflicts with many ninjas such as Sunagakure, Amegakure, and Iwagakure."

"The mission level is A and may be upgraded at any time."

"The final sealing mission will be completed by two outstanding sealing ninjas, Namikaze Minato and Aida Masaki, while the others will be responsible for the entire escort mission."

"do you understand?"

Everyone responded in unison: "Yes."

Orochimaru nodded and put away the mission scroll:

"lets go."
