The first four generations of Naruto

"Lord Hokage, why did you suddenly visit my humble residence today..."

Sarutobi Ryohei and Namikaze Minato sat face to face. After the salute, he cautiously turned his eyes to the blond man in front of him.

Sarutobi Ryohei, the eldest son of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, is a young ninja who is about 26 years old.He has short, sleek hair, wears a Konoha forehead protector, and has a short beard on his chin.His face looks very kind. If you compare the photos of the three generations when they were young, you will definitely find that there is not much difference between the two.

Just a year ago, he and Namikaze Minato were both Konoha's elite ninjas, the two most valued and trusted by Sarutobi Hiruzen, but today, their identities have changed drastically.

One person became a shadow, and the other person became the leader of a clan.

"Brother Ryohei, you should call me Minato in private."

Sensing Sarutobi Ryohei's eyes that were still kind but slightly unfamiliar, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but sigh, but he still had a humble smile on his face, and then directly stated his intention: "I heard that this paragraph Asma was sick at home, so I came to visit..."

The children of the heads of various families in Konoha Village still receive relatively high attention from the outside world.Especially since Sarutobi Ryohei and Asuma are both sons of the Third Hokage, they have become the focus of most people's attention.Before coming to the Sarutobi Clan's camp, Namikaze Minato had inquired about Sarutobi Asuma, an elite chuunin who was just 16 years old this year. It was said that he had been sick at home since the Nine-Tails Rebellion and had not left the house to this day. Pass the task.

There are rumors that Asuma Sarutobi was not sick, but refused to do the mission, so he claimed to be sick at home...

As the son of the Third Hokage, he turned out to be passive and lazy, unwilling to contribute to the village and perform his duties as a ninja. This kind of thing would naturally cause gossip among the villagers.

Of course, such criticism will not have much impact on the Sarutobi clan. After all, Asuma is the younger brother of the current clan leader, and the privileges of a large family still exist.Even if they gave up being a ninja, with the influence of the Sarutobi clan in Konoha, no one would dare to say anything.

For such arbitrary rights, civilians can only criticize behind their backs...

Hearing that Namikaze Minato came here specifically to visit Asuma, Sarutobi Ryohei couldn't help but be startled. Then after he came to his senses, he hurriedly ordered the white-haired old man from before: "Go quickly and call that brat Asuma." …”

The old servant nodded immediately after hearing this. Just as he was about to leave, Sarutobi Ryohei seemed to think of something again, and suddenly changed his mind and said: "Forget it, I'll go in person..."

After saying that, he was about to stand up, but suddenly he remembered Namikaze Minato in front of him, so he had to explain: "My younger brother has become increasingly difficult to discipline and restrain recently.

Before his father passed away, he often had conflicts with his family. After that incident, he seemed to have become bored with the profession of ninja.

To be honest, he wasn't sick at all these days. Instead, he stayed at home doing nothing and wasting his time. He didn't even see much of his ninjutsu training.

I really don’t know what I’m thinking about…”

As if he was getting more and more angry as he talked, Sarutobi Ryohei also frowned, with a look of helplessness evident on his face.

The two brothers are ten years apart, so a generation gap is inevitable.

However, in Sarutobi Ryohei's view, Sarutobi Asuma's performance at this time really failed to live up to the expectations of the clan. Although the father and son did not get along on the surface when the third generation was alive, the third generation actually valued the second son secretly.

But now it seems that Asuma is undoubtedly developing in the direction of a playboy with no ambition to make progress...

The trouble is that the third generation was fashionable and unable to control him when he was still alive. Now that the third generation is gone, he, the eldest brother, has nothing to do with his younger brother...

Listening to Sarutobi Ryohei's complaints, Namikaze Minato opened his mouth, but inside he couldn't laugh or cry.

This sounds like the behavior of a rebellious teenager in adolescence...

Unexpectedly, Sarutobi Asuma's boyhood would be like this.

"Brother Liangping, are you too worried..."

Namikaze Minato was stunned in his heart, but he said consolingly on his face: "Perhaps the death of the Third Generation has had an impact on Asuma that hasn't passed yet..."

"Let him rest at home for a while."

Sarutobi Ryohei disagreed with these words.

He didn't think that this second brother would feel sad or grieved because of his father's death.After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, when they heard the news that Sarutobi Hiruzen died in the line of duty, the entire Sarutobi clan was sad, but Asuma, the second son, did not show any sadness at all...

Sarutobi Ryohei smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed: "This brat really brings shame to my father and the Sarutobi clan."

"Minato, please sit down for a while, I will go and call him here myself now..."

The reason why he went there in person was because he was afraid that the old servant would not be able to complete the task.

The Fourth Hokage personally visited the home of the Sarutobi clan leader to visit the second son of the former Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. If Asuma got mad and refused to come out, it would be a disgrace to the Sarutobi clan.

Because of this concern, Sarutobi Ryohei changed his attention and planned to go there himself and escort Asuma over...

At this point, Namikaze Minato had some understanding of the current situation of the 16-year-old rebellious boy, Sarutobi Asuma, and he suddenly felt that the rebellious Asuma seemed to be more suitable to be a guardian nin.

If you go out and explore, you may understand what a ninja is and what Konoha is.

If you want to grow, you must experience it.

Thinking like this, Namikaze Minato also stood up at this time, stopped Sarutobi Ryohei from leaving, and then smiled gently: "Brother Ryohei, I don't think there is any need to call Asuma.

In fact, I came here today not only to visit Asma, but also to entrust him with an important task. "

Under Sarutobi Ryohei's doubtful eyes, Namikaze Minato told the story of protecting Shinobi again.

After explaining, he took out a prepared exquisite scroll and handed it over, and then said: "The guardian ninja has an important responsibility. Although his identity comes from Konoha ninja, he will also leave Konoha.

What I hope is that this ninja who was born in Konoha will not forget his original intention when he becomes the guardian ninja of the daimyo in the future. "

"While my heart is devoted to Konoha, it is my responsibility to maintain the future peace and stability of the Land of Fire..."

Unexpectedly, Namikaze Minato would entrust such an important task to members of their Sarutobi clan, and Sarutobi Ryohei couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.After all, he was the fourth generation raised by his father, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and this sense of trust finally made him feel more at ease.

Since the death of the third generation, the fourth generation Hokage has officially taken power.

Many members of the Sarutobi clan are vaguely worried that the passing of Sarutobi Hiruzen will lead to the decline of the family, but now it seems that this worry should be unnecessary...

"Hokage-sama, could you please think again, is Asuma... really capable of taking on this important task?"

When it came to business, Sarutobi Ryohei subconsciously changed to his honorific, and his tone revealed his contempt for his younger brother.

As if he understood what he was thinking, Namikaze Minato pursed his lips slightly and said bluntly: "You can just give this letter of appointment to Asuma. If he is willing to accept it, then it is settled."

"If he doesn't want to, I give you permission to choose another person from the clan..."
