Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

On the other side, Hokage's office.

"Really? Has Your Excellency Kazekage left the territory of Fire Country? Didn't anything happen? Didn't any small things happen?"

Looking at the Anbe ninja who was reporting at the desk in front of him, Namikaze Minato put down the scroll of the report on the whole process of Kazekage's departure in his hand and asked.

"No accident happened. Your Excellency Fengying seems to have deliberately avoided some points that we didn't notice, and set all the itineraries at a time that can be fully exposed to our eyes. Although it may be inappropriate to say so, However, Kazekage-sama, I can be sure that there is no bad behavior."

In this regard, facing his question from Hokage, Anbu Ninja said this.

"Well, there is no accident, it is the best news, you go back and rest first."

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato nodded, with a rare smile on his face in so many days, and said.

"Forgive me, Fourth Hokage-sama, is there... nothing wrong with the village?"

But at this time, different from the usual situation, this Anbu ninja actually asked back.

"For the time being, everything is stable. Except for Chiba, there have been no accidents. Now the special adviser of the defense force, Hyuga Yukina, is starting to reduce everyone's defense tasks, eliminate the inertia of the overload state, and prepare for the future in the next few days. Prepare to adjust and get back to normal."

In this regard, what is even more surprising is that Namikaze Minato, who is Hokage, responded to the rhetorical question of this Anbu ninja who seemed to be a bit out of authority and disrespectful.

"Yes, I understand!"

Hearing this, Anbu Ninja responded and made his due response.

"Wait a moment!"

However, just as he responded and was about to dodge to leave, Minakaze Minato suddenly spoke and stopped him.

"Is there any other order, Hokage-sama?"

In this regard, the Anbu ninja was not surprised, but quietly half-kneeled on the ground, waiting for new orders from his own Hokage.

"Apologize to the Third Hokage-sama for me, this time, you have to bother him."

Hearing this sentence, a trace of sadness flashed across Namikaze Minato's face, and he paused for a moment before speaking.

"No! Please don't say that. You alone supported this matter. We were originally your subordinates. Everything you did during the peace talks about Xiumeng is admirable."

But hearing Namikaze Minato say this, the Anbe ninja's face immediately changed color, and he lowered his head slightly, but spoke hastily.

Sure enough... as the third Hokage-sama said, the fourth Hokage will definitely be shaken by the mobilization of the retired Hokage's regular guards this time.

However, the third Hokage-sama praised the fourth-generation Hokage-sama at that time, which is a wise and excellent judgment.

Here, we must make it clear to the Fourth Hokage-sama!

All of this is due to his knowledge of people, and he is the one who stabilized the situation, and has nothing to do with the Third Hokage-sama.

Minato-sama, you are definitely a wise and capable leader who can turn the tide and surpass the three generations of Hokage in the future!

And just like his face, this Anbu ninja who dared to ask Hokage back at this time was anxious from the bottom of his heart.

I'm afraid Namikaze Minato will misunderstand.

Although he is the lifelong guard of the third Hokage after he retired, even like him, there are a certain number of Anbu ninjas who have become the lifelong guard of the third Hokage, but they still agree with the new Hokage in front of them very much. The third generation of Hokage is also a very honorable thing, but they are also very regretful that they cannot assist the new and highly prestigious Hokage.

Moreover, they stayed beside the retired Hokage, and there was no shortage of hearing the retired Hokage's admiration for the new Hokage.

To be honest, he is now regretting that he shouldn't have asked that question just now, as if he didn't trust this Hokage.

"Boom boom boom!"

However, as soon as he said this, before the fourth Hokage could speak, the door of Hokage's office was knocked. Listening to the rapid rhythm of knocking, it might be quite an urgent matter.

"Then, I will retire first. Please don't think so, Fourth Hokage-sama."

In desperation, Anbu Ninja had no choice but to leave first.

For the outside world, the less he shows up, the better. Moreover, the Fourth Hokage just now was quite concerned about his transfer of them. When this person comes in, it may embarrass the Fourth Hokage. Answered with peace of mind, but he still chose to leave.

"I see, then, the third Hokage-sama, I will leave it to you."

Regarding this, Namikaze Minato seemed to have sensed the Anbe ninja's thoughts, took a slight breath, and nodded.

Then, after seeing Namikaze Minato's nod, Anbe ninja disappeared in place and left the Hokage office without a sound.

I'm... I really don't want to disturb the retirement life of the third Hokage-sama!

For the sake of the village, he has sacrificed too much.

While watching the Anbe ninja leave, such a thought flashed through Namikaze Minato's mind. He always felt that it would be his negligence to make the third Hokage worry about the village at this time.

The Third Hokage handed over everything to him with peace of mind, but he still didn't let him feel at ease. How could this be worthy of the succession of the Third Hokage?

"come in!"

And after the thought flashed by, Namikaze Minato cleaned up his face, extinguished the faint guilt in his heart, and said.

Then, before the words fell, the door of Hokage's office was pushed open, and his new assistant Aso Nozawa walked in quickly.

"Hokage... Hokage-sama!"

But the words in his mouth were a little breathless.

Obviously, he came all the way sprinting.

What happened?

Iwahime? Or Chiba?

Seeing the appearance of the assistant, Namikaze Minato's heart almost thumped.

At this moment, I am afraid that there are only two aspects that can make my assistant lose his composure. Yan Yin, who has left but has not yet left the border of the Fire Kingdom, and Chiba, who is still in a coma in the hospital, are also in Konoha Village. Only the boy's illness can be compared with the problems between countries.

"What's the matter, what happened?"

Thinking of this, Namikaze Minato said more calmly, if something happened, he couldn't be the first one to panic, he was the one to appease everyone, even if the sky fell and the whole Konoha was in chaos, he would not be the first to panic. Can't mess up.

"No...no...no...no..."

But it seemed that he was too anxious, but Aso Nozawa could only pant while shaking his head, unable to speak a complete sentence in a daze.

nothing?

this……

What means?

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato frowned.

"Talk slowly."

Then, he spoke again.

"No...it's okay, nothing happened, Master Chiba has been diagnosed, he...he's fine."

Regarding this, Aso Nozawa took several deep breaths, calmed down the unevenness of breath from running all the way here from the hospital, and reluctantly opened his mouth to speak.

"He's awake?"

And hearing this sound, Namikaze Minato stood up abruptly, and said with a smile on his face.

"No."

However, upon hearing this sentence, Aso Nozawa shook his head and firmly denied it.

"Not awake?"

In an instant, Namikaze Minato's joy froze, and his frown was just a question.

"Well, but it's okay."

Hearing this, Nozawa Aso said again.

"You confuse me. What's going on? How can you be fine if you don't wake up?"

Regarding this, Namikaze Minato asked more seriously, frowning.

"I didn't wake up, but it's okay. Master Qianye didn't pass out, but fell asleep. He is sleeping now."

At this time, Nozawa Aso took another deep breath, and then said clearly.

ah?

But this time, upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze was stunned, and his eyes blinked unconsciously.

ha?

Then, there was a dazed expression.

Sleep... have you fallen asleep?

This... can you still fall asleep in seconds?

Open... What are you kidding!

So, what am I making such a big fuss about... What is it for?

Then, the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Crack!"

However, before he could express his opinion on this matter, the door that was about to be closed was suddenly pushed open, and an Anbu ninja charged straight in, speaking eagerly:

"Hokage-sama, something happened to Iwagakushi's envoy!"
