Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

"What!? Jiraiya-sensei, you invited Master Tsunade back!?"

During the lunch break, in Hokage's office where only the two masters and apprentices were eating bento together, there was a quick and low exclamation, and Jiraiya also looked at Namikaze Minato, whose eyes widened in surprise, and shook his head helplessly. Shaking his head, he said to his disciple:

"Don't be too happy, Minato. Although I did try to persuade Tsunade to come back, but I can't do anything about her phobia... If you expect her to participate, it may happen Fighting, or going to be a doctor for Kushina who is about to give birth, is it a bit too optimistic?"

"There is no such thing. Master Tsunade's willingness to go back to Konoha to see this has already inspired and inspired many people."

Namikaze Minato shook his head, and said with some emotion:

"However, it's really hard work for you, Mr. Jiraiya. It's just a guess without enough information to support it, but you are willing to spend so much energy running around and preparing to solve it..."

"It's all about being prepared. Anyway, it's only consuming my personal favor and energy. It's better than putting the matter on the old man's side, and then just holding a meeting to discuss whether it is necessary to fortify in advance can take several days."

Jiraiya also took a bite of the tonkotsu ramen brought out from Ikraku Ramen, met Namikaze Minato's eyes, and said vaguely:

"What about you, Minato? I don't expect large-scale personnel transfers, but at least you can't be unprepared, right?"

"Some unimportant tasks have been temporarily backlogged and postponed to ensure that most of the jnin in the village have stayed in the village for vacation recently."

Namikaze Minato nodded lightly, his eyes serious and slightly cold:

"The Anbu, which I am directly under, basically let them go back to the village temporarily if they don't have important tasks. Although this temporary situation can't last for too long, if the enemy really focuses on Kushina's delivery, we must deal with it. If Konoha launches an attack, the amount of combat power we have left in the village will definitely surprise them."

"Through the temporary backlog of tasks, can you ensure that the high-end combat power in the village does not go out without a trace? You have also learned a lot in the position of Hokage, Minato."

Jilai also swallowed the ramen in his mouth, and nodded in relief.

"Although it is said that there is no way to directly command the jonin in the village in the first place, but for the enemy, the hidden combat power in this way is even more unpredictable... But in this case, it seems that you did not take my Guess and explain to the old man.”

"Those three people's thoughts are a little...extreme. If you disturb them with such highly uncertain guesses, it will be very difficult to achieve what you want."

Namikaze Minato smiled wryly and shook his head, "Besides, they also know what Kushina is going to give birth to. At this time, improving the defense level of the village is what it should be. Even if I gather a little more Manpower, they will only think that I am a little concerned and mess up... Since the goal can be achieved without saying anything, there is no need to add extra trouble."

"Hey, with Hokage like you ruling this village, I can travel around the ninja world with peace of mind and increase my knowledge," Jiraiya looked at Namikaze Minato's heroic face that could give people a sense of peace of mind at a glance , said sincerely: "If there is not a guy full of uncertainties over Kirigakure, you can definitely be said to be the best shadow of this era."

"That one..." Hearing that Jilai also mentioned Kaguya Rei's name, Namikaze Minato couldn't help showing a helpless expression, "To tell the truth, Mr. Zilaiya, if it wasn't because I have to deal with it If there are too many things, I really want to find a chance to go to Wuyin to take a look and take a walk."

"ha?"

Zilai, who was drinking the soup, also shook his hands, and almost dropped the ramen in his hand to the ground. He stabilized his hands in a panic, and put the ramen bowl on the table. The door concurrently asked:

"Why do you have such dangerous thoughts, Minato?"

"Because from the limited outflow of information, Kirigakure is rapidly carrying out detailed education reforms under Mizukage-sama's will, and education reforms usually mean that the other party needs a group of people who can achieve specific goals. new talent."

Namikaze Minato tapped the desk in front of him with his fingers, and said with a serious expression:

"During the period of the first and second generations of adults, Konoha established the ninja school system, which greatly changed the way of training ninjas, improved the growth efficiency of ninjas, and allowed Konoha to rapidly develop into a place that other villages could not match for a while. The comprehensive strength promoted the prosperity of Konoha in that era.

But after that, the education system of the major ninja villages has not been improved much. No one knows what to do to make the role of ninja schools go further without causing internal backlash... Only Kirigakure , after the fourth generation of Mizukage took office, the reform of the ninja school system began immediately, and judging from the difficulty of our intelligence collection, their reform can be described as quite successful, and not many ninjas even expressed dissatisfaction with this. "

"I'm very curious about how he did it. Even if Kirigakure has always respected strength, it is impossible to say that he can completely rely on such a big move as the ninja school reform that will easily touch the core interests of the major families. Strength shuts everyone up, right?"

"That's true." Jiraiya nodded slowly, "When I was traveling in the ninja world some time ago, I also met many businessmen who had been to or just returned from the country of water. The evaluation of the country of water is unexpectedly not bad. Some people even admire the latest reform direction of Kirigakure, and think that Kirigakure will be the most suitable place to do business in the future... This is not just relying on violent suppression. things that can be done."

"So I want to go to Kirigakure to see how they reformed the ninja school, and how they put the newly trained ninjas into various positions after the reform," Namikaze Minato said backwards. Leaning on the back of his chair, he sighed sincerely:

"When I think of things related to Kirigakure's reform, I am very curious in my heart. I wish I could receive information about Kirigakure every day, and then study carefully what new policies they have come up with... this Is that one of his personal charms?"

"Don't be like Uchiha Shisui, who fell into the ground without knowing it," Jiraiya made a vigilant movement towards Namikaze Minato, "If even you, Hokage, are convinced by that guy If so, wouldn’t Konoha only be left to be slowly eroded by that guy’s thoughts?”

"So I'm just talking."

Namikaze Minato shrugged with a smile, and turned his eyes gently to the photo with Uzumaki Kushina on his desk, "However, if the meaning of the person who released it through the 'Akatsuki' organization is true, then maybe we will wait until Naruto When people grow up, we will have the opportunity to deeply understand the various changes that Kirigakure is undergoing."

"Are you so concerned about Kirigakure, Minato?" Jiraiya asked after being silent for a while.

"It's impossible to say that you don't care, after all, they are one of the most dangerous opponents in this era."

"Then, after this incident is safely over, I will travel to Wuyin and help you take a look."

"Is it possible!?" Namikaze Minato was full of surprise.

"Satisfying the reasonable demands of outstanding students is also one of the teacher's responsibilities." Jiraiya sighed, then took out a paper and pen from his pocket, and shook it at Namikaze Minato, "Besides, how much do I More or less, he can be regarded as a writer who travels to the ninja world and writes novels, how can there be any reason not to collect materials from the hottest land of this era?"

Still caught up, okay okay
