Naruto's strongest wooden escape

"Then teacher, what are you going to do in the future?" Sarutobi Asuma raised his face and asked.

The person in Konoha Village who knows Uchiha Matsuri best, as Uchiha Matsuri's personal disciple, Sarutobi Asuma can definitely be ranked among the top two.

Sarutobi Asuma could tell that although Uchiha Matsuri showed that he didn't care on the outside at this moment, in fact, Uchiha Matsuri must be very concerned about this result in his heart.

Uchiha Matsuri was defeated.

He lost to Namikaze Minato, and even more to the Third Hokage and the top management of Konoha.

After returning to the village, Uchiha Matsuri, who needs to report on the mission, will definitely face Minato Namikaze, the newly appointed Hokage.

Seeing that his best friend "stole" his dream and sat in the position he dreamed of, and that he had to call him "Hokage-sama", could Uchiha Matsuri feel better?

Once upon a time, Uchiha Matsuri and Namikaze Minato were the two best friends. However, from today on, their relationship will definitely be weakened as Namikaze Minato becomes the fourth generation Hokage.

As for whether the two can continue to be friends in the future, it still depends on whether Uchiha Matsuri can figure it out and accept the fact that Namikaze Minato has become the fourth Hokage.

"What should I do? What else can I do?" Uchiha Matsuri closed his eyes and showed a bitter smile, "In the future, I'm afraid I will have to take root in the 'roots'. The matter of Naruto has been with me for a long time. It’s related.”

Uchiha Matsuri has been firmly locked in the "roots".

In fact, after Namikaze Minato came to the throne, all matters in Konoha, big and small, had to be reviewed and reviewed by the Third Hokage.

Even if Namikaze Minato wanted to transfer Uchiha Matsuri away from the "root" department, with the current power of Namikaze Minato, it would be difficult to do this.

What's more, Uchiha Matsuri didn't want to use Namikaze Minato's power.

Move yourself away from your roots and into the foreground.

and then?

Don't you still have no chance of becoming Hokage?

Nine tails attacking the village is a good opportunity. (In the original book of Naruto, in the 48th year of Konoha, due to the Nine-Tails attack on the village, Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina died in battle)

However, after the Kyuubi attacked the village, if the Third Hokage was still alive, he still had no chance of getting close to the position of Hokage.

To put it bluntly, the biggest obstacle to Uchiha Matsuri's access to the position of Hokage is not Namikaze Minato, nor the Sannin and Kakashi, but the Third Hokage who always considers the future of the village, and the Konoha elders headed by the Third Hokage. .

"It seems that it's time to consider another plan." Uchiha Matsuri thought to himself.

Originally, Uchiha Matsuri did not intend to take risks alone and implement this plan that would be difficult to turn back.

It's just that reality forces me.

If the Third Hokage or Danzo Shimura does something unfavorable to him again, it is hard to say that Uchiha Matsuri will not make a desperate move and embark on the road of no return by rebelling against the village.

……

The trip of several consecutive days is finally over.

After arriving in Kyoto, the capital of the Country of Fire, Uchiha Matsuri and Asuma Sarutobi did not rest. They immediately went to the mansion of the Daimyo of the Country of Fire and reported to take up their duties as the "Twelve Guardian Ninjas".

in the hall.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire was wearing a kimono and holding a folding fan, sitting alone on the throne above.

"Lord Daimyo,

Konoha Jounin Sarutobi Asuma and I, entrusted by the Third Hokage, came here to temporarily perform the duties of 'Guardian of the Twelve Ninjas'..." After seeing the daimyo, Uchiha Matsuri and Sarutobi Asuma, He saluted the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen has already reported the specific matter to me." The Fire Country daimyo lowered his ears and said to Uchiha Matsuri with a serious face, "From now on, you two are the 'Guardian Ninja Twelve. Until the mission is completed, you two can be relieved of your duties as the 'Twelve Guardian Ninja Warriors' and return to Konoha Ninja Village..."

Uchiha Matsuri's mission is only to protect the Fire Country daimyo from being assassinated by the Mist Ninja. What happens after that is not something Uchiha Matsuri needs to worry about.

"Chilu, go and take these two ninjas from Konoha to familiarize themselves with their work."

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire waved his hand, and on the side, a guardian ninja dressed as a monk walked towards Uchiha Matsuri and Sarutobi Asuma.

"Two ninjas from Konoha, please come with me." The monk named Jilu walked up to the Uchiha Festival and waved his hand in a "please" gesture.

"I'm sorry, Master Lu." Uchiha Matsuri nodded.

After saying goodbye to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, the two Uchiha Matsuri got acquainted with the work of "Guardian of the Twelve Ninjas" under the leadership of Chiriku.

"...These two rooms are your dormitories." After leading Uchiha Matsuri and the two to familiarize themselves with the work, Chiriku led them to the two side rooms and said patiently.

"These two rooms are much better than expected." After walking around the room, Asuma Sarutobi lay on the bed and said with great satisfaction.

the other side.

While Sarutobi Asuma was visiting the room, Matsuri Uchiha chatted with Chiriku.

"...I didn't expect that little master Dilu would be so young."

During the conversation, Uchiha Matsuri was surprised to find that Chiriku was about the same age as his student Sarutobi Asuma.

Coupled with Dilu's handsome appearance and upright temperament, in his previous life, Dilu would have looked like a rich, handsome man.

"I have been eating fasts and chanting Buddha at the Fire Temple since I was a child. Last year, my master, the abbot of the Fire Temple, recommended me to serve as the 'Twelve Guardian Ninja'." Jilu clasped his hands together and smiled slightly.

It should be noted that the members of the "Twelve Guardian Ninja" are not just ninjas.

Jilu was once a monk at the Fire Temple.

In fact, monks, samurai and ninjas can all serve as the "Twelve Guardian Ninja".This makes the members of the "Twelve Guardian Ninja" come from all over the Land of Fire, and their relationship with each other is not as close as the Konoha ninjas.

"By the way, Captain, have you ever met Minato Namikaze?" During the chat, Jilu suddenly mentioned Minato Namikaze's name.

"I know him." Uchiha Matsuri was startled, "Minato, you can say he is my best friend."

"That's right. Namikaze Minato came to Kyoto yesterday morning and personally accepted the Daimyo's canonization of the Fourth Hokage..." Chiriku said.

"Yesterday morning, could it be possible that..."

After hearing Chiriku's words, Uchiha Matsuri suddenly thought of something.

Namikaze Minato is capable of the Flying Thunder God Technique. When he came to Kyoto on a previous mission, Namikaze Minato had left the Flying Thunder God Technique in Kyoto.

This made Namikaze Minato just passed the election the day before yesterday and became the fourth Hokage of Konoha.Just one day later, the Fire Country Daimyo recognized the legitimacy of the election and personally sealed Namikaze Minato.
