Naruto and Shadow

“What a surprise, we were just talking about business… ugh……”

“With so many Jōnin in the village here, what else can be discussed that is not serious?”

This little girl always wants to make big news.

Hino Hikaru covered Kushina’s talkative mouth with one hand and continued to look into the Hokage’s office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was analyzing the Cloud Hidden Village with a group of Jonin The war with Iwagakure Village is still going on, and Kirigakure Village is about to stir up trouble recently.

As for Sunagakure Village…

As early as the Second World War in the Ninja World, Konoha White Fang slaughtered all the young ninjas in Sunagakure Village who could fight. Over and over again.

Now the Third Kazekage doesn’t know who will be killed before he leaves the village.

Discussing opponents like Sunagakure Village who are no longer on the stage will even lower their reputation as the number one ninja village in the Konoha ninja world.

“Uh-huh.”

Aren’t you talking too?

And why does this kid have a strange milky smell on his hands?

Kushina took away Hino Hikari’s hand covering her with a look of disgust.

Finally, she thought of something, and then grabbed his palm

“By the way, let’s communicate by writing.”

“……”

Feeling the other person’s soft little hand moving back and forth in his palm, Hino Hikaru couldn’t help but feel a little pain in his balls.

Are you really not afraid of Minato getting jealous if you do this?

Especially since Namikaze Minato was only a window away from them…

However, she had clearly pierced her palm with a kunai before, but now nothing happened.

Not even a scar can be seen…

He is worthy of being a member of the Uzumaki clan, and worthy of being the jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails.

“itch.”

The palm of the hand is a relatively sensitive place. Hino Hikaru felt that Kushina was a little too careless.

He also replied a word in her palm, which was regarded as a semi-rejection of her communication behavior.

“ha……”

Kushina laughed for a while and then consciously covered her mouth.

However, she still stubbornly continued to take Hino Hikari’s hand and started a new round of writing and drawing on it.

Like a child who finds a new toy

——

“Although Kumogakure is still on Iwagakure’s side now, based on my understanding of Onoki, he will soon choose to stay in hiding, and may even shamelessly ask for help from our Konoha Village.”

“Hokage-sama, in fact, not long ago, the third Tsuchikage sent a letter of distress from Hido.”

Yuhi Mahong handed over a secret letter with a respectful face.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t even look at it, he just put it aside.

“We in Konoha have never had an alliance with Iwagakure, so what kind of help can we ask for? Don’t forget, they were also invaders of Konoha a few months ago……”

Danzo, who was standing by, didn’t know what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking, so he helped him say the above words.

“yes.”

Yuhi Zhenhong also felt that he shouldn’t help.

The other jounin also had no objections to this.

“What we have to consider now is that Kumogakure Village will launch another attack on Konoha after defeating Iwagakure.”

After Danzo finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again and talked about what he was really worried about.

“Hokage-sama, according to previous investigations by Shikaku, Shikaku, and Shiwei, Kumogakure Village does not plan to use an army to deal with us Konoha this time, but……”

Namikaze Minato glanced at the secret letter of the Third Tsuchikage that was thrown aside by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then looked at Danzo who was still standing in the center of the room.

He couldn’t help but think of what Kushina said to him yesterday – Lord Hokage is actually a sanctimonious hypocrite, and he is as bad as Danzo in his heart.

Of course he did not agree with this statement and only thought that Kushina was temporarily angry.

But now – it’s okay to ignore Iwagakure’s plea for help, but Danzo was actually allowed to appear here, and almost everyone in the village was shouting for help. Danzo was also allowed to participate in such a major event in the village….

For the first time, Namikaze Minato realized that his understanding of the Third Hokage might not be enough.

“I know that Cloud Hidden Village plans to send a small number of elites and their younger generation of ninjas to destroy our prestige in Konoha. As for whether the army can suppress the situation, it depends on whether their elites can destroy our prestige.”

Although a third Raikage has died, the younger generation of Kumogakure Village cannot be underestimated.

Iwagakure Village has been beaten so hard by Kumogakure that it cannot hold its head up.

“Therefore, I called you here just because I want you, the younger generation, to——”

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Namikaze Minato, Aburame Shimi, Nara Shikaku and others in front of him.

“They also formed an elite team to stop the intruders from Yunyin Village.”

The main reason is that Konoha’s finances can no longer support another war.

Sarutobi Hiruzen hopes to end the battle with Kumogakure with a small-scale conflict.

“……”

It’s okay to send Tsunade-sama or Orochimaru, war is not a child’s play, why should you care about seniority?

Although he could understand Sarutobi Hiruzen’s consideration of forming an elite team, Nara Shikaku still didn’t quite understand why there was a special restriction on seniority?

The word”younger generation” was also mentioned repeatedly… ah, so that’s it.

Nara Shikaku glanced at Namikaze Minato standing opposite him.

The strongest among the young generation in the village is undoubtedly Minato.

It seemed that the rumors in the village that Namikaze Minato would become the Fourth Hokage were not groundless.

In this way, we started to form an elite team today, and in fact, we have already decided on the candidate for Hokage.

“Shikaku, do you have any suggestions for forming this ninja team?”

While Nara Shikaku was thinking about the true intention of the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also staring at him.

“Suggestion…

With all due respect, Hokage-sama, Dingzao and Haiichi are still recovering in the hospital, and many other capable ninjas were also in the war last month…

either sacrificed or are still recovering from their injuries, the village now Their combat power is seriously insufficient.

On the other hand, looking at the Kumogakure Village, the team is led by not only the son of the third Raikage who is basically certain to be the next Raikage, but also the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki known as the Killer Bee, in addition to a lot of young people.

powerful ninja……”

The sacrifice of the Third Raikage resulted in the Cloud Hidden Village remaining unscathed, and now they are at their most powerful.

And Konoha wants to rely on these few…

Although Nara Shikaku doesn’t want to scold him, but among the Jonin present, except for Minato, they are basically… It’s not like taking out garbage, but it’s definitely not as good as Yunyin.

Unless Lord Hokage is willing to promote people from the Uchiha clan, they will just be sent away.

But during this kind of election for Hokage, it is probably impossible for the Third Hokage to let people from the Uchiha clan join this so-called elite team no matter what.

“Well, I also know that the current combat power in the village is quite insufficient, but… there are always more solutions than difficulties.”

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen also intended for Uchiha people to join, the previous incident with Danzo and the”truth” recently investigated made him extremely wary of Uchiha.

“Don’t underestimate the young people in our village. For example, Kakashi Hatake and Hikaru Hino from Minato’s class performed very well in the last war, so the candidates this time do not necessarily have to be selected. Jonin, as long as you have the ability, everyone can recommend it.”

“Hokage-sama, Kakashi… still needs some time to adapt to his eyes. The last time he fought Iwagakure,���He was also seriously injured.”

Although Kakashi now relies on the Sharingan to complete Chidori’s advanced Thunder Release Ninjutsu, his current shortcomings are also in the Sharingan. In short, Kakashi is not yet familiar with the power of the Sharingan. Before the side effects, Namikaze Minato was still not very optimistic about Kakashi.

“Hikaru Hino can do it. I heard that in the battle with Iwagakure, he not only personally killed an elite jounin of the opponent, but also blocked the Tsuchikage’s son Huangtu for a period of time.……”

Danzo squinted at Namikaze Minato in front of him.

It always felt like Hiruzen was paying more and more attention to this yellow-haired boy recently.

In today’s meeting, I didn’t even ask whether Orochimaru and Ginseng would participate.

——

“Obviously I am also a Jonin, but no one mentioned me, but you and Kakashi. However, I feel that the old Danzo mentioned you must have no good intentions.”

Even if she only communicates with her fingers, Kushina is still babbling on Hino Hikari’s palm.

“……”

There is a problem when a person like Danzo can be at peace with himself.

However, Hino Hikaru doesn’t care what happens to Danzo now. He just wants to grab Kushina’s fingers that are moving around in his hand and make her restrain herself.

There are so many things done in his hands, so fast, and he is not a robot, how can he accept them all?

“Also, can the Jinchuuriki of Kumogakure Village still go to the battlefield? I can’t even complete the quest to leave the village.……”

“That’s a perfect Jinchuuriki, you’re not”

“What is a perfect jinchuriki?”

This is the first time Kushina knows about the existence of this kind of Jinchuuriki.

In her understanding, other Jinchuuriki should be like her, poor people who are feared and hated by everyone.

“I’m not a jinchuriki, how would I know.”

Hino Hikaru felt that he had gone a bit far.

“You definitely know!”

But Kushina was unwilling to let go of this topic.

But it just so happened that the current Hokage’s office also mentioned things about the perfect Jinchuuriki.

——

“Hino is good at stealth and speed, but not good at frontal combat.”

Namikaze Minato continued to retort.

Although he also felt that Hino Hikaru was indeed a ninja capable enough to fight. Hino Hikaru had performed very well in the battle with Kushina before.

Collect intelligence, find the enemy’s weaknesses, and then fight again Give the enemy a fatal blow.

If it were not for the limited amount of chakra, Namikaze Minato felt that Hino Hikari might even become a more talented ninja than Kakashi.

But after all, the proposer just now was Danzo.

He had been murdered before. Danzo of Hino Hikaru, so he instinctively wanted to refute

“But he did defeat the Jonin of Iwagakure.”

“Why didn’t Danzo-sama say that he also defeated everyone in the assessment?……”

Namikaze Minato glanced at Aburame Shimi, who was standing next to him, and then continued.

“He defeated the special Jonin you assigned him.”

“Nonsense, I don’t have the right to arrange the Chuunin examination!”

“Deliberately killing his companions in the village and conducting cruel human experiments on innocent villagers, I think Danzo-sama is not suitable to appear here, let alone participate in such an important combat meeting.”

“you……”

Danzo never expected that this yellow-haired boy would dare to say such words to him.

Moreover, after Namikaze Minato said these words expressionlessly, neither Sarutobi Hiruzen nor the other jounin expressed any opinions or opinions.

Everyone was indifferent, or in other words, acquiesced in Namikaze Minato’s accusation of Danzo’s crimes.

“Hiruzen, you……”

“Danzo, please go down first. I will announce your crime and your punishment in the village tomorrow.”

“……yes.”

Damn Sarutobi Hiruzen, I have been speaking for him all the time, but then he fell out with him?

Danzo glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen’s face angrily, and then looked at him coldly, which made him lose his dignity. After Namikaze Minato, he finally walked out of the Hokage’s office on crutches.

“It’s a pity that the perfect jinchūriki’s training method is a secret not taught in Kumogakure, otherwise Kushina can do it too……”

After Danzo left, Namikaze Minato mentioned the biggest enemy of this mission.

I also think of Kushina as the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails

“Becoming a perfect Jinchuuriki is not that simple.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen also shook his head.

What even Uzumaki Mito couldn’t do, how could Kushina do it.

Even if she mastered the method of practice

“However, even if we don’t fight head-on, Hino Hikaru should be a good helper. Shikaku, Zhiwei, this time I plan to……” in a brief sigh of relief���Later, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to arrange tasks again

——

“It turns out Minato isn’t that old-fashioned after all.”

Seeing Namikaze Minato”angrily scolding” Danzo and defending his disciples, Kushina’s mood suddenly improved a lot.

“……”

Yes, I just wonder if he would be jealous if he saw you holding my hand like this?

Hino Hikaru wanted to withdraw his hand from Kushina’s hands, but he was worried that if he moved too much, he would attract other people’s attention.

And…

I was forced to become the”elite” in the village.

Having said all that, Sarutobi Hiruzen still planned to send him out.

I don’t know if Tsunade will know about this mission…

Well, it would be great if she could truly awaken another ability.

“Let’s go.”

Hino Hikaru still just made two brief strokes on Kushina’s hand.

Then he teleported her away from the place.

What followed in the Hokage’s office was just the details of personnel arrangements, and there was no big news at all.

“Ah…you are so fast, you brought me to such a far place in no time.”

Kushina curiously measured the distance between the two of them from the Hokage Building with her eyes.

“But what about my innocent little brother, whose face is turning red when a beautiful big sister like me keeps grabbing her hand?”

You didn’t even dare to touch my hand just now, and you only wrote in brief strokes.

What a cute little brother.

And you said I’m innocent?

Kushina stared at the boy in front of her with a smile.

It would be great if he was a girl. , she can now directly post it to express that she likes his cuteness

“I was just so tickled by you that I blushed from holding it in”

“Hee hee, don’t hide it, I know that your innocent little brother will definitely not be able to resist a charming big sister like me~ But you can’t like the teacher, Minato and Rin will be jealous… Puff puff~” I do n’t know what I thought of again Funny scene, Kushina’s shoulders started to twitch with laughter.

“So thick-skinned”

“You brat, show some respect to the teacher! Anyway, today is mine too……”

“What today?”

Hino Hikaru asked, pretending not to know.

“No, it’s nothing. By the way, it’s already very late, and the teacher should go home. You also… Hey, have you already arrived at Tsunade-san’s house?”

Kushina looked at the big mansion in front of her.

Although she didn’t have Minato with her on her birthday, she seemed to be quite happy with this cheap disciple.

But she didn’t expect that today would be over so soon.

“Why are you standing outside? Come in.”

Hino Hikaru opened the courtyard door

“Come in? me……”

Sister Tsunade is asleep now, right?

It wouldn’t be nice to disturb you so late.

Kushina stood outside the door and smiled and shook her head.

“We haven’t had dinner yet. Teacher, come in and have some leftovers to avoid wasting it.”

“oh……”

Having said that, I do feel a little hungry.

Kushina touched her belly, which had begun to protest, and then reacted instantly

“What to eat leftovers? Call me a dog?”

Kushina raised her fists angrily.

However, Hino Hikaru had already”escaped” into the house.

Bang!

As soon as Kushina chased her into the house, she heard a strange noise, and then a lot of flowers quickly fell from her body. Green ribbons.

It looks like a birthday salute……

“Happy birthday, Kushina-nee!”

“Happy birthday, Kushina”

“Happy birthday, narcissist teacher”

“Um…you…you guys……”

Although the last words of congratulations made Kushina a little angry, after looking at Tsunade, Shizune, Nohara Rin, Kakashi and others in the room as well as the big cake placed in the center, she was finally moved and became incoherent.

“Thanks……”

It turns out that Sister Tsunade still remembers her birthday.

“Another slap on the shoulder. No matter whether you are crying or laughing, is this the only way you behave?”

“I want you to take care of it!”

Damn stinking disciple!

After blowing out the candles and making a wish, Kushina picked up a freshly cut cake and threw it in Hino Hikaru’s face. It was really annoying. Sure enough, she didn’t cry under the street lamp. Hide it from him!
