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

"Protect the daimyo?" Minato Namikaze asked vigilantly:

"Is there anyone who wants to harm the daimyo in the Fire Capital?"

Speaking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed lightly and explained slowly:

"You should know about the Rain Country, right?"

"Is it because the daimyo initiated economic sanctions against the Rain Country, so the Rain Country wants to assassinate the daimyo?" asked Akimichi Choza.

"Alas!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and sighed again. If he was really a ninja from the Rain Country, he wouldn't have to be restrained.

"After the Hidden Rain Village replaced the daimyo of the Rain Country and had this initiator, many ninjas had similar ideas."

"Hokage, you mean..." Minato Namikaze said hesitantly.

Obviously, he had understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen meant.

The person who wanted to harm the daimyo this time was not someone else, but a ninja from Konoha!

No wonder Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed like that. If it was another ninja village, he could certainly strike hard, but if it was his own people, especially when the leader was a good brother of Sarutobi Hiruzen who loved and hated each other, it really made him feel a little embarrassed for a while.

"Minato," Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and patted Namikaze Minato on the shoulder, looking at Namikaze Minato expectantly and said:

"If possible, I hope you can try to hold back. Even if they go the wrong way, they are still our companions."

"We know, Lord Hokage." Namikaze Minato nodded, but he felt a little embarrassed.

In the ninja mission, the frontal battle is the easiest, followed by protecting the important personnel. The most difficult thing is of course the current situation. While protecting the important personnel, we must try not to hurt the other ninja.

In fact, it can be seen from here that Sarutobi Hiruzen, as a leader, is still too indecisive.

For the ninja who is going to harm the daimyo this time, he wants to punish them, but he is unwilling to punish them severely.

Just like treating Danzo, as Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't be unaware of everything Danzo did, but he always remembered Danzo's contributions and hard work, and the past feelings, and always let it go lightly.

With such a Hokage, it's no wonder that Konoha was caught up by the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Cloud Village in his hands.

"Oh, by the way," Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly said:

"In addition to your team, I also sent Naoki's team to protect the Daimyo in public."

"After you go to the Fire City, you can cooperate with them to protect the Daimyo together."

"Naoki and the others are there too?" Namikaze Minato's eyes lit up.

Before, Namikaze Minato felt that the mission was a bit of a headache, but after hearing the name of Asakawa Naoki, he felt relieved instantly.

If Asakawa Naoki was there, this mission should be a sure thing.

"Hokage, let's go on the mission first." Namikaze Minato said.

"Yeah." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and watched Namikaze Minato and the other two leave.

On the way from Konoha to the Fire Capital, Akimichi Choza suddenly asked:

"Minato, you seemed surprised when you heard that Asakawa Naoki was also participating in this mission?"

"Is he stronger than you?"

Another teammate, Aburame Shiwei, also looked at Minato Namikaze.

In fact, Asakawa Naoki's reputation in Konoha Village is already very loud. Many ninjas who have worked with him praised him for inheriting the will and strength of the three ninjas and being the future star of Konoha.

But Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shiwei had never been with Asakawa Naoki after all. In addition, both of them came from a strong ninja clan, and even among the ninja clans, they were genius ninjas. It was inevitable that they had some arrogance in their hearts and thought that Asakawa Naoki's strength came from the nine-tailed beast in their bodies.

However, after joining the Anbu, especially after meeting Minato Namikaze, Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shiwei realized that there are people beyond people and there are heavens beyond heavens.

Even if the two of them joined forces, they could not defeat Minato Namikaze.

At this moment, there are doubts about the strength of Naoki Asakawa, who is highly praised by Minato Namikaze.

"Of course," Minato Namikaze said with a smile:

"Naoki's strength has always been above mine. If he participates in this mission, the difficulty should be reduced a lot."

"Naoki Asakawa is so strong?" Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shiwei were surprised.

"But that was in the past," Minato Namikaze changed his tone and said with some confidence in his eyes:

"I am no longer the person I used to be."

One of the necessary qualities of every powerful ninja is self-confidence.

People who do not believe in their own strength cannot become truly strong.

Of course, Minato Namikaze's confidence is also for a reason. During the time he joined the Anbu, his strength has grown rapidly.

If Minato Namikaze's strength was just that of an ordinary jonin when he first joined the Anbu,Now, he has mastered the Flying Thunder God and cooperated with him to study the ninjutsu created by the Tailed Beast Ball. He can attack or defend. There are few people among the jonin who can match him.

"Haha, I said that with your strength, Minato, you can become a Hokage when you are older." Akimichi Choza laughed.

"Keep a low profile, Choza, we are on a mission now." Aburame Shiwei reminded.

"I know." Akimichi Choza nodded.

"Let's hurry on our way." Namikaze Minato nodded.

In fact, Namikaze Minato also knew what he was thinking about the two teammates arranged by Sarutobi Hiruzen. It was nothing more than asking him to build a good relationship with the families behind the two teammates.

The strength of the Aburame clan represented by Aburame Shiwei should not be underestimated, and the Akimichi clan behind Akimichi Choza is the leader of the three families of Ino, Shikaku and Chou.

The Akimichi clan, the Nara clan and the Yamanaka clan, the combined strength of the three clans can even catch up with the two giants of Konoha.

If he could get the support of the families behind his two teammates, it would undoubtedly be a great help to Minato Namikaze's dream of becoming Hokage.

Therefore, Minato Namikaze has always maintained a good relationship with his teammates.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has always believed that Minato Namikaze is different from Asakawa Naoki. Compared with the willful Asakawa Naoki, Minato Namikaze is simpler and easier to control.

But in fact, Minato Namikaze sees everything very clearly.

However, before he gets enough power, Minato Namikaze is just better at disguising.

He may not agree with Sarutobi Hiruzen's ideas and practices, but he will not refute them.

I'm afraid that when Minato Namikaze really becomes Hokage and shows his ambitions, Sarutobi Hiruzen may understand Minato Namikaze's true thoughts.

If he wants to support an obedient Fourth-generation Hokage to take office, then Sarutobi Hiruzen has found the wrong person.

Of course, Minato Namikaze doesn't think he will definitely become Hokage.

Now, not far ahead of him, there are two powerful rivals.

Although Nawaki is not very strong, his strong reputation as the heir of the Senju clan is his natural advantage.

As long as Nawaki wants to become Hokage, those ninjas and ninjas who have been favored by the Senju clan will support him.

Another person, Asakawa Naoki, was once far superior to Namikaze Minato in strength, and he is also the one he is trying to catch up with now.
