I am Uchiha, starting the S4 season

Chapter 79 The vortex coming out of the root [asking for monthly ticket]

The Hokage's office building.

"Hokage-sama."

Namikaze Minato, a Chunin, respectfully handed back the information scroll he had read, while the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting at his desk, showed a satisfied smile.

"Minato, I am very satisfied with your performance before. You have also read this information, so I will not say any more nonsense. From today on, you will be a team."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled in appreciation, and as he tapped the table lightly, the Anbu outside immediately pushed open the door, and a figure slowly walked out from the darkness.

"Jiu..."

The moment he saw this figure, a flash of surprise appeared in Minato Namikaze's blue pupils. The other person's red hair almost made him shout out the word Kushina in his heart.

But as the figure walked out of the darkness, there was an ordinary face under the same red hair.

"Hokage-sama."

The expressionless red-haired female ninja saluted respectfully, but her words and actions were too formal, making them sound mechanical, and there was no emotion in her flat tone.

Especially those eyes, which made Minato Namikaze stunned. Those were a pair of eyes that were indifferent to everything and had no emotions.

When the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the person coming, he nodded calmly. He was of course aware of the Root's training, which was completely about training ninjas to become tools without emotions.

"Minato, your teammate was once a member of the Uzumaki clan, but her heart was sealed off during her cultivation in the Root. I believe that the will of fire in your heart will surely warm her."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectant eyes, Namikaze Minato took a deep breath, looked solemn, and nodded solemnly.

"Thank you for your trust, Hokage-sama."

Looking at Namikaze Minato who completely inherited the Will of Fire, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled with satisfaction and nodded:

"Minato, go down first and get to know your teammates. At the same time, don't slack off on your training during this period. This is the reward for the last mission."

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed with satisfaction, then took out a ninjutsu scroll and handed it over. Namikaze Minato was even more surprised when he saw this.

"Hokage-sama, I..."

Looking at the scroll of advanced ninjutsu in his hand, Namikaze Minato naturally couldn't let it go. After all, there is no ninja who doesn't like advanced ninjutsu.

But the last time he was on a mission, it was all for the village, and he didn’t accomplish anything.

Just as Minato Namikaze was hesitating, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed heartily.

"Minato, I see your love for Konoha. I hope you can become stronger so that you can better protect the village in the future. This advanced ninjutsu contains the detailed insights of the Second Hokage's body-flickering technique."

When feeling the trust of the Third Hokage, Namikaze Minato nodded excitedly and firmly.

"I see. Thank you, Hokage-sama!"

Namikaze Minato was not a pretentious person. After respectfully taking the ninjutsu scroll, he left with his new teammates.

Looking at the departing figure, Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Under the influence of the Will of Fire, a new generation of people has emerged.

It has to be said that when it comes to winning over (bewitching) people's hearts, Sarutobi Hiruzen definitely has his own way.

"You're already here, but you're not coming in yet."

Just after Namikaze Minato left, Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced out the window inconspicuously and spoke with an unpleasant laugh.

"Haha, the old man is still so perceptive. He actually discovered me."

With a hearty and funny laugh, Jiraiya with white hair entered the Hokage's office through the window. Sarutobi Hiruzen was already accustomed to such actions.

However, after the funny Jiraiya came into the office, he looked through the window at the two figures walking out of the Hokage Building and couldn't help but reveal a solemn expression. "Red-haired? Old man, is this the person you chose?"

The golden-haired and red-haired man gradually disappeared from sight. Jiraiya slowly turned his head and asked solemnly, while Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded calmly.

"Jiraiya, I believe that this child's will of fire will fill that empty heart. Lord Mito said something right, only those who have love can master this powerful force."

After hearing this, Jiraiya nodded solemnly.

"I understand. In that case, Minato probably won't follow me to the battlefield this time."

The ninjas from the Root were all trained to be tools without emotions, but now they are to be filled with love? And then become war weapons and Jinchūriki.

Obviously this takes time, and the high intensity of warfare on the battlefield leaves no time to cultivate love.

"Jiraiya, don't worry. Minato is also the junior I recognize as the successor of the Will of Fire. During your absence, I will train Minato well."

After hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Jiraiya smiled.

Minato Namikaze was his first disciple, so naturally he had high hopes for him.

The Third Hokage's words almost mean that he will train Minato Namikaze.

"In that case, old man, I'll leave first."

Jiraiya said this with a laugh, and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded solemnly.

"Jiraiya, your mission this time is very important. Orochimaru has already set out with an elite ninja troop yesterday."

"Don't worry, old man. The war will be over soon!"

Jiraiya, whose body had already climbed out of the window, turned around with his usual funny smile and gave the Third Hokage a firm look.

Seeing this scene and seeing Jiraiya's disappearing back, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but smile with relief.

"The most unreliable Jiraiya has grown into a reliable person without realizing it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting alone in the Hokage's office, looking out the window at his statue on the Hokage Rock with a nostalgic look in his eyes. At this moment, his expression became more determined.

"Konoha will definitely win this battle!"

Among the three disciples, the one that Sarutobi Hiruzen now values ​​the most is Orochimaru, otherwise he would not be the first to lead the elite troops to the front line.

The second one is Jiraiya, because Orochimaru and Jiraiya are both orphans, and the relationship between them as master and apprentice is like that between father and son.

And Tsunade!
When thinking of Tsunade, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes.

The relationship between Tsunade and him as master and disciple was not deep. After all, Tsunade had all the guidance, ninjutsu, and training resources that a ninja needed.

Just relying on the accumulated heritage of the Senju clan, Tsunade was a princess since birth and has never lacked material things.

"Well, Tsunade! I hope the Uchiha won't get into trouble in your hands."

The battlefield in the Land of Rain became increasingly tense. Orochimaru and Jiraiya successively led ninja reinforcements to the front line.

At the same time, in the village, Uchiha mobilized a large number of elite personnel from the police department, and this time they were fully prepared.

With the cooperation of Kong Xu and Senju in the Police Department, the Police Department is opened to the public for the first time. All major families and civilian ninjas have the opportunity to enter the Police Department after passing the assessment.

At the same time the report was submitted to the Hokage's office.
