Konoha's West Gate Official

Hearing this, Minato's eyes couldn't help but flicker. Although the other party's tone was a discussion, it was obviously not asking for his opinion, otherwise he wouldn't have asked.

Then he asked: "What do you think, Hokage-sama?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette, and then said: "Your skills will definitely be passed on to Ximen in the future. Whether you become his teacher or not will not have much impact.

Instead of continuing to grow under your protection, it is better for him to take this opportunity to contact other strong people and learn more. "

Minato also thought about it after hearing this, and found out that what the other party said was not unreasonable.

"Then according to Hokage-sama's wishes, how should this matter be arranged?"

Sarutobi Hinaga replied: "Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin are both fine. In addition, I want Kakashi Hatake to join your team. How about it?"

"Sakumo-senpai, my son..."

Minato thought in his heart that he also felt very sorry for the death of Konoha White Fang, after all, he was once his idol.

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "Kakashi entered school at the age of five and graduated at the age of six. He was promoted to chuunin at the age of seven. Although he is only ten years old now, his strength is not much different from that of a special jounin.

He, Simon, and Shisui of the Uchiha clan are considered the most outstanding among our young generation in Konoha. "

The implication of these words was obvious. Minato was not at a disadvantage after he transferred his younger brother and gave him a talented disciple. After all, the blood and family ties between brothers were constantly separated.

Moreover, he felt a little guilty about the White Fang incident, so finding a good teacher for Kakashi would be a little compensation.

Namikaze Minato asked again: "Then what will Ximen do?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Don't worry about this. I will let Tsunade serve as Ximen's instructor. As the best medical ninja, it is absolutely safe to be around her."

Minato thought for a moment after hearing this.

Tsunade is not only the granddaughter of the first Hokage, but also the direct descendant of the third generation, the successor of Konoha with upright roots. If he could become her apprentice, it would be of great benefit to Ximen's future development.

And as one of the three ninjas, his own strength is naturally not weak, and he is indeed a good candidate.

After thinking for a while, he nodded: "Okay, then I will follow the arrangements of Lord Hokage."

Seeing his agreement, Sarutobi Hiruzen also smiled. If it were anyone else, he would only need one order.

But Minato is different. As a shadow-level strongman, he has privileges everywhere, especially during this war, he cannot cause trouble.

"If there's nothing else, I won't disturb Hokage-sama."

Namikaze Minato said.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and nodded: "Go and prepare. You cannot lose the battle with Iwagakure."

"Yes, you will definitely live up to your trust!"

Minato responded confidently before turning and leaving.

Seeing him leaving, the smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned into a deep one. The reason why he had to go to great lengths to separate the Namikaze brothers was to draw Ximen into his sect.

The other party became Tsunade's apprentice, that is, his disciple. In this way, the two brothers became the Hokage.

And if Ximen stays by Minato's side, he won't be very grateful to him even when he grows up in the future. These two relationships are completely different...

After returning home, Namikaze Minato told Ximen about this matter.

As a time traveler with God's perspective, he could guess the plan of Sarutobi Hiruzen in an instant.

I have to say that the old guy is quite political. He is obviously doing it for his own benefit, but he acts like he is putting himself in other people's shoes.

The key is that you still can't find anything wrong with him.

However, he has no dissatisfaction with this arrangement. Anyway, his main purpose this time is to complete the system tasks, and everything else does not matter.

After all, with the Flying Thunder God nearby, as long as he doesn't commit suicide, there should be no problem with safety.

Two days later, 10,000 ninjas were assembled, and Hiruzen Sarutobi practiced it himself. After a passionate brainwashing speech, everyone was excited.

Then Minato Namikaze led the ninja army towards the western border, and Jiraiya had set out a few days ago to investigate the situation one step ahead.

With these two people here, the chance of winning against Iwagakure should be over 70%.

As for the Hokage's passionate speech, Ximen showed little interest, but in order not to be targeted, he still cooperated in the performance. After finally waiting until the practice meeting was over, he turned around and left.

But at this moment, a slightly older voice sounded from behind: "Ximen, wait a moment."

Ximen's expression changed, and he knew who the voice was.

Although he doesn't have a good impression of this guy, to be honest, the old liar who is now at his peak is still very strong and cannot be offended before he develops.

Then he put on a youthful and sunny look, looked at the Third Hokage who was walking slowly, and said enthusiastically: "Sandaime-sama, what can I do?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a gentle smile like an elder and said, "Minato should have told you about the teacher leading the team. Do you have any thoughts on this?"

Hearing this, Ximen's heart moved, knowing that the other party was testing him. Then he said without missing a beat: "Yes, big brother told me. It's a great honor to be personally guided by the legendary Sannin!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and nodded, "Your talent is very good, but as a Konoha ninja, the most important thing is to understand what the will of fire is."

Seeing that the other party once again used his best brainwashing propaganda, Ximen also cooperated with a look of emotion on his face and said: "Wherever the leaves are flying, the fire is endless.

The fire will continue to illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout!

In the past, I was too willful, and my only goal was to become stronger. It wasn’t until today that I understood the meaning of these words. Even if it is just a faint ray of fire, you must burn yourself and light up the village! "

Hearing these words, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied and praised: "As long as you understand, you will definitely become a strong person in the future and win the recognition of more people."

Ximen gradually entered the scene and said after hearing this: "I don't think being strong can gain recognition from others. Only those who are truly recognized by more people are worthy of being called strong!"

After the words fell, Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that the other party had such a profound understanding of the will of fire. It seemed that he could rest assured.

However, this line is still quite good and can be added to the speech.

In the future, if a child wants to be Hokage, he can say: "It is not that you can gain recognition by becoming Hokage, but you must first gain the recognition of others before you can become Hokage!"
