Naruto started to become stronger by becoming a disciple of Tsunade

"What's wrong, Minato?" Inuzuka Jaw, who was with Namikaze Minato, asked as he looked at Namikaze Minato's gloomy face.

"Brother Inuzuka, I received a secret letter from the Third Hokage, asking us to return to the village as soon as possible!!" Namikaze Minato said to Inuzuka Jaw.

"Then should we just give up our current reconnaissance mission?" Qiu Daotangdong asked in a muffled voice.

His sturdy figure is particularly eye-catching wherever he stands.

"This is the only way. Besides, we have been investigating Kumogakure for so many days, and we have almost figured out the basic situation of Kumogakure! The next things can be left to the Anbu in the village." After saying this, Minato Namikaze suddenly turned his head and looked in one direction.

"Minato?" Inuzuka Jaguar asked vigilantly when he saw the look on Namikaze Minato's face.

Whoosh!

Minato Namikaze disappeared on the spot.

When he appeared again, Minato Namikaze was holding a dry branch in his hand.

"Minato, did you disappear just to pick up a dead branch?" Akimichi Dodong chuckled.

"Just now I inexplicably felt that someone was spying on me, but when I used Flying Thunder God to go over there, I didn't find anything!!" Minato Namikaze explained simply.

"Brother Inuzuka, Brother Akimichi, let's go back to the village immediately!" Namikaze Minato said to the two of them.

Seeing Namikaze Minato's serious expression, Inuzuka Jaguar and Akimichi Doto didn't say anything more but nodded, packed up simply, and set off.

Whoosh whoosh!

Minato Namikaze and his companions were walking through the forest.

As Minato Namikaze was moving forward, he suddenly felt the feeling of being watched again.

really!

As he was moving forward, Minato Namikaze thought to himself: "The feeling I had just now was not wrong. Someone was secretly watching me and..."

And Minato Namikaze thought of the dead branch he had just found.

Those needle-like branches were obviously not found in the Fire Country forests, and the season was wrong too. Now was the time when the leaves were growing vigorously, so there was no way there could be dead branches.

Minato Namikaze suddenly placed his hand on the trunk of a big tree, then quickly jumped away.

call out!

Minato Namikaze, who had already left, suddenly appeared at the same place again.

"Is there no one?" Minato Namikaze glanced around and then disappeared on the spot.

After Minato Namikaze left, a huge closed pitcher plant slowly emerged from a big tree.

The pitcher plant slowly opened, and a strange human face in black and white appeared in the pitcher plant.

The face of the man became clearer and clearer, and finally half of his body poked out from the tree. "Hey, hey, this yellow-haired guy has a terrifying intuition. He was almost discovered!!"

"You idiot, it was that branch just now, the branch brought from the Land of Lightning, that made Minato Namikaze so alert!"

"Ah, don't scold me. After all, we are the same person!! If you scold me, isn't it the same as scolding yourself?"

This strange-looking pitcher plant seems to have two different personalities inside its body.

Arguing with yourself looks both funny and weird.

"Are we going or not? They are going far away!!" the white side spoke in a frivolous tone.

He reached out his hand and casually broke off a branch from the tree trunk.

Snapped!

Use your other hand to slap the back of the hand holding the branch, knocking it off.

"Idiot, do you think you haven't been exposed fast enough?"

"Let's go, let's go back! We can't track Minato Namikaze anymore, this guy's senses are too sharp!!"

"Okay, then can I get some sleep when I get back? I'm so tired after tracking you for so many days!!" The white side spoke like a lunatic.

The black side did not respond, and the pitcher plant slowly closed itself together again.

"Hey, wait a minute!!" The white side was wrapped up before he could finish his words.

The pitcher plant slowly disappeared from its original location.

Just after the pitcher plant disappeared, Minato Namikaze finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That vague feeling of being watched finally disappeared.

"What's wrong?" Inuzuka Jaguar next to him asked as he looked at Namikaze Minato who looked relieved.

Namikaze Minato waved his hand: "It's okay, let's go back quickly!!"

Konoha Hospital, Okamoto Dousuke rushed to the hospital early in the morning.

In the morning, Okamoto Dousuke went to Hinata Weiyan's ward first.

After revealing his identity to the Hyuga ninja guarding the ward, Okamoto Dousuke entered the ward.

The Anbu who were guarding Hinata Weiyan stopped monitoring and protecting Hinata Weiyan after receiving the information.

"Elder Wei Yan, how do you feel?" As soon as Okamoto Dousuke entered, he saw that he had woken up, with his hands leaning on the windowsill of the ward.

Hinata Weiyan heard the noise behind him, turned around, and saw Okamoto Dousuke pushing the door and walking in.

He looked at Okamoto Dousuke with enthusiasm in his eyes.

"Doujie, thank you for your hard work. I have heard from Hizashi that I was able to wake up this time thanks to you!" Hinata Weiyan had a gentle expression and a warm voice.

He looked like he was thanking his savior.

"You are too polite, Elder Wei Yan. As a medical ninja, we treat all patients equally." Okamoto Dousuke also had a strong smile on his face.

It was like the two of them were meeting for the first time!

With the Hyuga ninja outside the door, neither of them said much.

The politeness was full of gratitude.

Okamoto Dousuke after examining Hinata Weiyan.

A few simple instructions.

"Elder Wei Yan's health is recovering quickly. After a few more days of rest, he can be discharged from the hospital!!" Okamoto Dousuke said to Hinata Wei Yan with a smile.

"Then I'll trouble you, Doujie! After my injury recovers, I hope you can invite you to my house!" Hinata Weiyan invited the savior in front of him.

"It's my honor!" Okamoto Dousuke replied indifferently, then said goodbye to Hinata Weiyan and opened the door of the ward.

Okamoto Dousuke nodded slightly to the Hyuga ninjas guarding both sides of the door.

Then he strode away from the spot.

In the conversation with Hinata Weiyan just now, Okamoto Dousuke could clearly feel that the other party's eyes were looking at him differently.

It seems that the art of spell casting has begun to take effect.

Next up is Hyuugaoka.

Okamoto Dousuke turned and walked towards the doctor's office.

He was going to prepare for Hinata Oka's surgery.

The Hyuga family's people who have planted the sealing technique are the ones that Okamoto Dousuke can feel at ease and trust.

After obtaining the consent of Hyuga Hiashi, Okamoto Dousuke also used the acupuncture technique to plant the curse of birth on Hyuga Oka.

After completing the seal, Okamoto Dousuke walked out of Konoha Hospital.

The sun is already high outside.
