Naruto started to become stronger by becoming a disciple of Tsunade

"Konoha!!" The moment Okamoto Dousuke saw the signal flare, his pace gradually slowed down.

Because he was worried about encountering Iwagakure ninjas on the way back, Okamoto Dousuke had been taking a roundabout approach.

Although the speed is slow, it is safer.

Okamoto Dousuke quickly moved towards the launch location of the flare.

Whoosh whoosh! !

There were waves of sounds of breaking through the air.

Okamoto Dousuke stopped and stood on the trunk of a big tree.

Tuk-tuk-tuk! !

The sounds of several footsteps stopped on the tree trunk opposite Okamoto Dousuke.

"Lord Dousuke!!" Hinata Souma shouted loudly while looking at Okamoto Dousuke on the tree trunk opposite.

"It's Souma!" The moment he saw the other person, Okamoto Dousuke breathed a sigh of relief.

boom!

The shadow clone turned into smoke, and Okamoto Dousuke used the Flying Thunder God Technique and instantly appeared at the place where the shadow clone had just stood.

Although there is a special firing method for flares, it cannot be ruled out that some Konoha ninjas were captured by the enemy and forced to fire flares.

"Why are you here?" Okamoto Dousuke looked at Hinata Souma and the others. It was obvious that they came out specifically to find him.

Hearing Okamoto Dousuke's question, Hinata Souma immediately said, "It's Minato-sama. Minato-sama asked us to come to this area to look for you, Dousuke-sama."

"Lord Dousuke, are you hurt?" Hinata Souma saw Okamoto Dousuke's injured arm and the strange chakra in his arm at a glance.

"Well, it's just a minor injury!" Okamoto Dousuke shook his head slightly, indicating that it was nothing serious.

"Then Lord Zusuke, let's go back to the camp! Lord Minato will be very happy if he knows that you, Lord Zusuke, are safe!" A genuine smile appeared on Hinata Kanazawa's young face.

"Okay, let's go!" Okamoto Dousuke nodded.

A group of people quickly moved away in the forest.

In the command tent, Namikaze Minato was counting the casualties of the Konoha Ninja Army with Nara Kazuki.

"Lord Minato!!" A voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Come in!" Minato Namikaze's words were still gentle, but this time they were a little tired.

The curtain of the command tent was lifted.

Hinata Souma walked in first.

"Lord Minato, we found Lord Dousuke!!" As soon as he entered the door, Hinata Souma spoke first without waiting for Namikaze Minato to ask.

"Oh, how is Dousuke now!" When Namikaze Minato heard Hinata Souma say that he had found Okamoto Dousuke, he suddenly stood up from the stool on the desk.

"Brother Minato!!" The curtain of the command tent was lifted again.

Okamoto Dousuke's slender figure and handsome face appeared in the command tent.

"Dousuke!" Minato Namikaze looked at the wounded Okamoto Dousuke and couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Lord Dousuke!!" Nara Kazuki also had a look of surprise on his face at this time.

As the military strategist of the Konoha Ninja Army, he naturally heard what Minato Namikaze said about Okamoto Dousuke's situation.

To be honest, after hearing that Okamoto Dousuke was alone to cover the retreat after meeting Hanzo, Nara Kazuki did not have much hope that Okamoto Dousuke would survive.

But no one expected that this adult would be able to appear here safely, which made Nara and Xi look at him with admiration.

He looked at Minato Namikaze beside him, and then at Dousuke Okamoto.

None of the disciples of the Sannin-sama are simple. Nara Kazuki couldn't help but sigh that a good teacher produces good students.

Minato Namikaze quickly appeared next to Dousuke Okamoto, holding a report in his hand, which was enough to show Minato's excitement.

He looked Doujie up and down carefully.

"Yeah, not bad, nothing is missing!" Namikaze Minato said to Okamoto Dousuke admiringly.

"Brother Minato, do you want me to be missing limbs?" Okamoto Dousuke couldn't help but teased when he saw Minato Namikaze's expression.

Minato Namikaze looked at Okamoto Dousuke in front of him and his eyes lit up.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that his junior brother had a brand new feeling compared to before.

Minato Namikaze didn't know where this feeling came from, but he felt that Okamoto Dousuke was a little different.

In fact, what Minato Namikaze felt was all right. This was all a change in mentality.

It is precisely because of the battle with Hanzo that Okamoto Dousuke now has a new understanding of his own strength.

One is that Okamoto Dousuke has a general understanding of his own strength. Through the battle with Hanzo, he knows his own strength, although there is still a certain gap between him and Hanzo and Jiraiya, the top ninjas in the ninja world.

But this gap is limited.

He is no longer the boy who was timid and submissive in everything when he first traveled through time, and he is now the person who needs to be cautious in dealing with anyone and anything.

Thanks to his own efforts, Dousuke Okamoto truly possesses the strength to gain a foothold in the ninja world.

He truly had an opportunity to catch up with geniuses like Minato Namikaze.

Another point is that by killing Hanzo, Okamoto Dousuke realized that the future is not static, but can be changed.

There is no such character as Okamoto Dousuke in the original work of Naruto.

Hanzo shouldn't have died at this time and place.

In other words, in a certain sense, Okamoto Dousuke has changed the plot to a certain extent.

Then some regrets from the previous life also represent something that can be changed.

Just when Okamoto Dousuke was thinking.

"Minato-sensei!!" A voice came from outside the door again.

"Come in, come in!" Namikaze's voice was filled with excitement as he answered the door.

The door curtain was lifted, and Kakashi, Nohara Rin, and Uchiha Obito walked in.

"Teacher Minato, are you looking for us?" The steady Kakashi looked at Minato Namikaze first.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you!!" Namikaze Minato looked apologetic and narrowed his crescent eyes.

Because he was not worried that the search team consisting of Hinata Souma and others would have too few people.

So Minato Namikaze specifically asked someone to find Kakashi, Nohara Rin and Obito.

Prepare to form a team of three people to join the search for Okamoto Dousuke.

Namikaze Minato had heard Obito praise Kakashi's summoning beast more than once, saying how quickly and accurately it could find things.

"I was originally planning to ask your summoning beast, Kakashi, to help look for Zusuke. Now that Zusuke has returned, we don't need you anymore. You made a wasted trip!" Namikaze Minato said with a slight apology.

"Teacher, that's impossible. Besides, Dousuke is our friend!" Kakashi said quickly.

It was not until this time that several people realized that the person standing in front of Minato Namikaze was Dousuke Okamoto.
