Konoha Yellow Monkey: The salary is in place, and the five shadows are useless!

Chapter 97 Minato’s Teacher Arrangements

After having lunch at Nagato's house, everyone sat together and chatted for a while, before Tsunade and Kizaru said goodbye together and left.

Tsunade is going back to write a medical reform plan, while Kizaru is going home for a lunch break.

When leaving, Nagato, who had a great time with Minato, Kushina, and Naoki, was a little reluctant to leave, and his eyes were red.

If Minato and the other three hadn't comforted him by saying that they would often come to play with him, Nagato, who was only four or five years old, might have cried.

"Minato, do you want to take part in the early graduation assessment?" Kizaru asked with Minato taking the initiative and caring as they walked along the street.

Upon hearing Kizaru's question, Minato was stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately.

From the bottom of his heart, Minato, who couldn't bear to leave his classmates and friends, didn't want to graduate early.

But early graduation is a requirement of his adoptive father Danzo. Although his adoptive father is strict with himself during training, he is still very kind to himself in normal times.

Whether it was life treatment or Ninjutsu teachings, my adoptive father treated everyone without any distinction and kept secrets.

Because of this, the sensible Minato did not want to make his adoptive father angry because of the issue of early graduation, nor did he want to cause a quarrel between Brother Kizaru and his adoptive father.

After a little hesitation, Minato nodded and said with a smile: "I want to participate!"

Kizaru, who had been a man for two generations and knew Minato's character very well, could roughly guess what he was thinking.

Smiling and touching Minato's head, Kizaru said, "I will find you an excellent teacher!"

"Who is it? Brother Kizaru!" After hearing Kizaru's words, Minato, who was young at heart, couldn't help but asked curiously.

"A teacher who is most suitable for you!" Kizaru said without saying it directly.

Minato became even more curious now. He looked up at Kizaru and asked again: "Brother Kizaru, who are you?"

Looking at Minato with a smile, Kizaru said his name.

"My senior brother, Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas!"

"Jiraiya-sama!" Minato's eyes lit up.

Although the Second Ninja World War ended a little faster due to the appearance of Kizaru, the three ninjas who led the village's ninjas and fought against Hanzo Amegakure still gained a lot of fame.

Therefore, when Minato heard that Jiraiya would become his teacher, he immediately showed an expression of expectation and excitement.

As a child of the Ninja Village, Minato naturally knew how lucky he was to have an outstanding and powerful ninja as his teacher.

"Don't tell anyone about this matter. Just prepare for the early graduation exam now!"

"I understand!" Minato nodded quickly and replied.

Kizaru had carefully considered letting Jiraiya become Minato's instructor.

In the original plot, Minato grew up very well under Jiraiya's guidance, and in the future, Jiraiya's achievements as a disciple were truly abnormal.

Namikaze Minato, Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, Naruto!

Among the five disciples, except for Yahiko, who died early, whose strength is unknown, the other four are all at least Kage level.

With this success rate, Jiraiya can definitely be regarded as a gold medal master in the ninja world.

It was out of recognition of Jiraiya's ability as a disciple that Kizaru decided to follow the direction of the original plot and make Jiraiya serve as Minato's teacher.

At the same time, Kizaru also wanted to avoid his uncle who wanted to show off his presence from time to time, so he slapped his head and took Minato, who had just graduated, into his roots.

But this time, Kizaru was a little wronged by Danzo.

In the Hokage's office, Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi were having a private conversation.

This conversation started when Danzo took the initiative to find Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Danzo took the initiative to visit Hiruzen Sarutobi because of the arrangements made by his adopted son, Minato Namikaze, after his graduation from the teacher.

Nearly three years of getting along with each other made Danzo appreciate and like Minato more and more for his outstanding qualifications, obedience, and mature thinking.

Because of this, Danzo also attaches great importance to Minato's future training and growth.

As the founder and controller of the Roots, Danzo deeply understands that the Roots' strict and cruel training model can cultivate a batch of elite ninjas with strong strength.

But if you want to truly cultivate a top-notch strong person, the root-level training model is a bit unsuitable.

Minato's abnormal nerve reaction speed and talent in ninjutsu made Danzo understand that it was a waste to cultivate Minato at the root!

Danzo's arrangement and positioning for Minato's future is to make him his nephew's right-hand man, just like himself and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Out of high hopes for Minato, Danzo specially found his old friend Hiruzen Sarutobi and wanted to arrange an excellent teacher for Minato.

Unlike Kizaru who knew the plot and the future, the teacher Danzo fell in love with was Hatake Sakumo.

In Danzo's opinion, Hatake Sakumo, who has sharp sword skills and fast body movements, is a perfect match for Minato, who has excellent neurological reaction speed.

Moreover, if Hatake Sakumo becomes Minato's teacher, he can also use the master-student relationship between the two to draw in the relationship between Hatake Sakumo and the Shimura clan, making Hatake Sakumo a member of his own faction.

It was with this idea in mind that after walking into the Hokage's office, Danzo took the initiative to start the conversation.

"Hiruzen, I heard that Sakumo wants to quit the ANBU and transfer to the jounin class!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was smoking, looked at Danzo who walked in and nodded lightly.

"Sakumo's wife is pregnant and he wants to spend more time with his family."

"Then after he transfers to the Jonin class, will he become a mentor Jonin, or form a team to perform tasks?" Danzo continued to ask.

"It hasn't been decided yet. Sakumo wants to rest for a while." Looking at his old friend in front of him and thinking about his purpose, Sarutobi Hiruzen replied.

Nodding slightly, Danzo continued: "I hope that Sakumo will become the guiding jounin of Namikaze Minato."

Understanding Danzo's intention, a strange look appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was still very concerned about Danzo's adopted son.

For the first time in three consecutive years, I have outstanding qualifications and a bright and cheerful personality!

Sarutobi Hiruzen admired such a genius very much and had already arranged a teacher for him.

Just like Danzo wanted to bring Hatake Sakumo to his faction, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also preparing to bring Namikaze Minato to his side.

"Sakumo needs to spend time with his family and doesn't have time for the time being." First he found an excuse to block Danzo's proposal, and Sarutobi Hiruzen revealed his candidate, "I want Jiraiya to be Minato's instructor."

"Jiraiya?" Danzo frowned, not very satisfied.

Young and lustful, reckless personality, naive political thinking!

The comments about Jiraiya came to mind, and Danzo said dissatisfied: "Jiraiya is too young."

"My disciple, I understand that Jiraiya will definitely become an excellent teacher!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said with certainty.

"Huh! I don't agree!" Danzo refused forcefully.

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!" Looking at Danzo in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen said meaningfully.

"You will regret it!" Danzo, who failed to get what he wanted and was already dissatisfied with Sarutobi Hiruzen because of Sunagakure, said coldly before turning around and preparing to leave.

"Wait!" Sarutobi Hiruzen, who also had something to say to Danzo, called out to him.

Without saying anything, Danzo turned back and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen coldly.

"I am ready to implement two reform plans in the village. I hope"

"Reform? Hiruzen! You want to do it again."

"This is what Kizaru proposed."

"Tell me about it!"

After saying that, Danzo took two steps forward and stood in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

There is one more update.
