Naruto: Can't learn ninjutsu? I'll just practice immortality!

Of Sarutobi Hiruzen's three disciples, only Tsunade remained in Konoha.

Here, he also wants to thank Asakawa Naoki.

If Asakawa Naoki had not supported Tsunade at the original jonin meeting, implemented the medical reform, and let Tsunade take the position of medical director, I am afraid that Tsunade would not stay in Konoha after seeing Jiraiya and Orochimaru leave.

But when thinking of Asakawa Naoki, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but have a headache.

As a Hokage with a high reputation, coupled with his comradeship with Uchiha Kagami, Sarutobi Hiruzen actually has some spies in the Uchiha clan, and naturally he would know what happened at the Uchiha clan meeting.

It can only be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen did not expect that Asakawa Naoki could be related to the Uchiha clan.

A few years ago, when Sarutobi Hiruzen saved Asakawa Naoki and Uchiha Mikoto, he only regarded Asakawa Naoki as a tool to divide the Uchiha clan in the future.

Unexpectedly, Naoki Asakawa actually has the blood of the Uchiha clan!

Although he failed to awaken the Sharingan, he awakened a stronger eye technique!

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the Hokage, did not expect that the family tree of the Warring States period would be involved.

The Uchiha clan is already strong. If they have Naoki Asakawa, the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki, won’t they be lawless in Konoha in the future?

Now, the only good news for Sarutobi Hiruzen is that Naoki Asakawa did not choose to return to the Uchiha clan.

Not only did he not return to the family, Naoki Asakawa even hated the Uchiha clan and scolded those Uchiha in person at the clan meeting.

If the Uchiha clan could completely push Naoki Asakawa to the opposite side, Sarutobi Hiruzen would simply laugh to death.

Unfortunately, according to the intelligence of the Uchiha clan's spies, it seems that not only did no one of the Uchiha clan members who were reprimanded dislike Asakawa Naoki, but many of them admired Asakawa Naoki.

He could understand it, after all, no matter what a strong man does, there will be people who admire him, not to mention that Asakawa Naoki was right, the Uchiha clan was indeed not generous enough and too arrogant.

While Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking, three figures walked into the Hokage's office one after another.

"Ahem!" Nawaki was choked by the smoke when he walked into the office, and hurriedly opened the doors and windows for ventilation, and said with concern:

"Uncle Hokage, you should smoke less, it's not good for your health."

Asakawa Naoki and Masamura Oki nodded in agreement, although after his physical body broke through the innate, secondhand smoke could no longer affect him.

But secondhand smoke itself is a very uncivilized thing. Even if it has no effect on him, Nawaki and Masamura Oki are real victims of secondhand smoke.

"Haha, I see. Thank you for your concern." Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed awkwardly and put down his pipe.

When the smoke in the office had almost dissipated, Asakawa Naoki asked:

"Hokage-sama, do you have any mission for us this time?"

Most of the ninja team's missions are taken from the mission club. The missions sent by the Hokage himself are almost all very important or difficult missions, at least A-level or above.

"It's like this," Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a scroll and handed it to Asakawa Naoki, explaining with a smile:

"Recently, there are rumors that there are wandering ninjas in the Land of Fire who want to harm the daimyo."

"The daimyo hopes that we can increase some ninja forces to defend the daimyo's mansion."

"It just so happens that Naoki's parents are in the capital. Letting you go to defend the daimyo can also let Naoki go to see his parents."

After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, Asakawa Naoki also understood why this mission was given to their team.

It's not because of how strong they are, but because of the relationship with Naoki.

After all, the daimyo will still be somewhat wary of ninjas, and sending Nawaki, a ninja who has a certain relationship with the daimyo, will not worry about irritating the daimyo's nerves.

"Thank you, Uncle Hokage!" Nawaki said gratefully.

I'm afraid that the naive Nawaki thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen really asked him to meet his parents.

Asakawa Naoki carefully looked at the mission scroll, and after confirming that there was no problem, he said to Sarutobi Hiruzen:

"Hokage-sama, let's go to perform the mission first!"

Leaving the Hokage's office with Nawaki and Masamura Oki, Asakawa Naoki wanted to use the Senzu Bean clone to replace himself to perform the mission in the capital.

But then he thought, in the current Land of Fire, where are the wandering ninjas who dare to assassinate the daimyo?

And Sarutobi Hiruzen clearly got the news in advance, but he only asked them to defend, and did not eliminate those wandering ninjas.

The answer is already coming out!

"Things are getting interesting."

Asakawa Naoki smiled inwardly and finally decided to go to the FireA trip to the capital of Kunikoku.

Shortly after Asakawa Naoki and the other two left, three more figures knocked on the door and walked into the Hokage's office.

Compared to the regular clothes or combat uniforms of other ninjas, these three ninjas wore black clothes and black combat uniforms, with animal masks on their faces, and said respectfully:

"Hokage-sama, what do you want to talk to us about?"

"Haha, no need to be so careful, take off the mask and tell us." Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed.

"Yes! Hokage-sama!"

The three took off their masks, and they were all talented ninjas of the younger generation. The Anbu ninja standing in the center had yellow hair and a handsome face. It was Minato Namikaze!

Beside him, a slightly fat man with red hair hanging down to his back and red lines on his face was the genius ninja of the Akimichi clan, Akimichi Choza.

On the other side, there was a black-haired man wearing sunglasses and a mask, also a genius ninja of the Aburame clan, Aburame Shiwei.

After joining the Anbu, Minato Namikaze's reputation began to gradually spread. As a commoner, his strength surpassed many talented ninjas of the ninja clan.

Now in the three-person team, Minato Namikaze also occupies the C position and is considered the captain of the team.

Looking at the three elites, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. This is the real future of Konoha.

Minato Namikaze is naturally needless to say. His civilian identity and strong talent are the best proof. The Akimichi clan and the Aburame clan are both supporters of the Hokage series, so there is no need to worry.

In contrast, although Asakawa Naoki has outstanding talents, he has too many ideas and his identity is too complicated, and Sarutobi Hiruzen is increasingly unable to control him.

"Minato, Choza and Shiwei, I have a task for you now." Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly.

"Please speak, Lord Hokage, we promise to complete the task!" Minato Namikaze said confidently. Since joining the Anbu, his mission failure rate has been zero!

"It's good to have confidence," Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile:

"I need you to protect the daimyo in secret!"

That's right, Asakawa Naoki and the other two were just guard ninjas in public, and they sent Ropeki to reassure the daimyo.

The real guard ninjas are actually a group of Anbu!
