The Talent of Konoha

The footsteps gradually faded away, and the place returned to calm.

……

"Teacher, you look much better and are recovering well."

Minato reached out and handed Jilai a peeled apple, jokingly.

"Cough... still... okay!" Jiraiya was half-sitting on the bed, leaning against the wall. Although he looked a little weak, it was obviously just a lack of energy and blood, and his voice was very strange when he spoke, and he couldn't catch up. .

"I'll be leaving for the Iron Country soon, teacher, you can concentrate on taking care of me."

Minato sat on a chair beside him, clasped his hands together, and looked serious.

"Be careful. When you convene a meeting this time, people from the Xiao organization may come to sabotage it. You should have some understanding of their strength!"

Jilai also suppressed his throat and finished his sentence quickly.

"Understood, I will be careful. But I am not afraid of people from the Akatsuki organization attacking us. As long as they dare to come, Wukage is not a vegetarian. What I am most afraid of is that they will take advantage of this opportunity to attack Kushina."

Minato said worriedly, frowning tightly.

It's not that he didn't think about taking Kushina away with him, but in that case it would be safer to stay in the village.

"Invading the village? People from the Akatsuki organization should not be so arrogant, and their strength will not be so strong, but this worry is necessary, and I will pay attention to it."

"Teacher, you don't need to worry about it. It's good for you to rest in peace of mind. I'm just talking. And I have arranged enough ninja power to protect Kushina. After I leave the village, the village will also enter wartime alert, reducing and Communication with the outside world. Although the members of the Akatsuki organization are very powerful, they should not be stupid enough to directly attack a ninja village."

Minato and Jiraiya also looked at each other, and many things were conveyed through their eyes.

"Don't talk about that, I'm here to tell the teacher that I'm leaving the village. Then, teacher, you can rest assured, I'll go down first, and there are some other things that I need to arrange, so I won't disturb your cultivation."

After a long time, Minato stood up, then said to Jiraiya, then turned and left.

"Master Tsunade!"

At the door, Minato met Tsunade with a food box in his hand, and nodded slightly.

"Minato, come to see Jiraiya?"

"Well, I've already seen it. I still have something to do over there, so I won't stay any longer. You can talk." He made room for Tsunade, and then left sideways.

"Your disciple is really filial!"

Tsunade glanced at Minato's back, then put the food box on Jiraiya's bedside table, then pulled a chair and sat beside the hospital bed.

"Minato has always been a person who makes people feel warm, which is why he can sit in Hokage's position!"

Jilai also squinted his eyes, seeming to enjoy the atmosphere at this time.

"The results of the tests on the corpse and the brain invasion have come out, and your statement is correct."

"Penn is not the real body, those are corpses that have died a long time ago, but they have undergone some transformations!"

Leaning on the armchair of the chair, Tsunade folded her hands in front of her chest, and said to Jiraiya, she was still surprised when she knew the result.

"Well, I already know, but that's not important. The key now is to find out the Nagato hidden behind, then Payne's problem should be solved."

Ji Lai also took a bite of the apple, then chewed a few times and spit it out to the trash can.His throat injury was not completely healed, so he couldn't swallow, he could only drink some juice, and then slowly recovered.

"Well, don't eat the apples, drink some soup, this is... um... the fish soup made by Jing Yin for you."

Snatching the unfinished apple from Jiraiya's hand, Tsunade opened the food box he had brought, and a strong smell of fish came to his nostrils, which soon permeated the entire ward.

"Slow down, it might be a little hot!" Tsunade looked at Jiraiya and hurriedly scooped a spoonful into his mouth, with a smile rising from the corner of his mouth.

"Tsunade, there's something wrong with this soup, it's too rich. Remember to put less salt next time, and don't boil it for so long, the bones will be melted in it."

Jiraiya said it to himself, he knew from the first sip that this soup was made by Tsunade, and it didn't look like Shizune's craftsmanship at all.

"It's good to drink some, but if you don't like to drink, I'm still not willing to do it!" Tsunade's face changed. Although it was the first time, she still felt good about herself.

"alright."

Jilai also continued to gulp down the soup, his pale face gradually turned red, his eyes were narrowed, it seemed that the taste was not as bad as he said.

……

"Teacher Watergate!"

Obito looked at Minato in front of him calmly, as if waiting for an order.

"Obito, I don't take you with me when I leave the village this time, because I need you to complete a more difficult task. During the period when I leave the village, I need you as a guard, guarding by your teacher's wife, Jiu Xinnai, and keeping all dangers away. They are all swept away. Since you have mastered the Flying Thunder God technique, I think I can trust you in this regard."

Looking at Obito, Minato said seriously.

"Understood!" Obito nodded and lowered his head.

"Xiao's people may sneak into the village when I leave the village. Although I have arranged many methods, you are still the last layer of insurance. If you really encounter an unstoppable enemy, use the flying thunder god technique to send Jiu Xinnai brought me."

"If there are no dangers or enemies, that's the best. The Five Kages Conference is expected to take two days, and I'll set off soon. If all goes well, it will take about four days to go back and forth, and you will have to work hard during this time! I have told Jiu Xinnai before, you will go directly to her in a while, and the mission has already begun from now on!"

Minato finally said solemnly to Obito that the growth of Obito in the recent period is visible to the naked eye, both in terms of strength and temperament, almost earth-shaking changes have taken place, and this is why he rest assured that Obito will become the last line of defense around Kushina s reason.

……

"Lord Hokage!"

A group of four people had been waiting in front of the gate of the village. Seeing the water gate coming out of the village, they shouted in unison and lowered their heads slightly at the same time.
