Starting the fourth generation Hokage

The method of extracting information from oysters is very cruel.

Because it was transformed by secret techniques, this rare communication bird also announced that its life was coming to an end once it completed its mission of delivering messages.

Namikaze Minato followed the interpretation method left by Asano and began to perform the spell on the oyster on the table.

On the other side, Nonoyu didn't seem to expect that Namikaze Minato actually wanted to use the seal here. He was startled and hurriedly wanted to remind him something, but it was too late. The latter's seal was too fast. In the blink of an eye, In a short time, the secret technique on the oyster bird was released...

Bang!

The next second, a bloody scene suddenly happened.

I saw the originally docile Owl lying on the table. As Namikaze Minato completed the hand seal and injected his own chakra into its body, it immediately became painful. In the blink of an eye, its small body expanded rapidly. .

Immediately, after expanding to a certain extent, it suddenly exploded into a ball of blood mist, and the scene seemed quite tragic.

Because it was on the desk, the red blood vapor produced by the exploding body of the owl inevitably colored the nearby documents scarlet. This scene was obviously not expected by Minato Namikaze.

"...What a cruel secret technique."

The dragon bird suddenly exploded, much beyond his expectation.

Namikaze Minato only heard from Asano that this was a one-time communication bird. After the seal was lifted, the owl would die, but he never expected that it would be such a tragic death.

Pharmacist Nonoyu also showed unbearable expression. Although it was not the first time he saw such a scene, most people with kind hearts would not like such bloody things. She once worked as an intelligence ninja at the root, but she never accepted the use of oysters. Her psychic beasts were actually other birds.

Following the tragic death of the bird, there was a small volume of note among the small remains left on the table.

Namikaze Minato didn't mind the blood stained on it, he took out the note with a serious expression, and then started to read it.

The message was very short, and after reading it, Minato Namikaze felt slightly depressed.

As expected, Chaoyang Ye's infiltration exposed his identity. This was the message sent back the moment before he fell into a tight siege. It said that he was traced out when he only entered the initial stage of investigation. The information mentioned that although Kumogakure showed no signs of preparing for war at this time, there seemed to be something strange about the movement of people in the village.

Unfortunately, he had no chance to investigate further.

So the conclusion is that it is still not certain whether Kumogakure is ready to launch a war at any time.

After reading the last message sent back by Asano, Namikaze Minato frowned and unknowingly crumpled the note in his hand into a ball, holding it firmly in his hand.

"Hokage-sama, it seems that Chaoyanye did not successfully complete the mission..."

After collecting the blood-stained documents on the table, Nonoyu turned to look at Namikaze Minato and asked in a tentative tone.

In fact, there was no need to ask. Judging from the latter's expression at this time, she had already guessed some of the answers.

"..."

After Namikaze Minato came back to his senses, he met Nonou's concerned gaze, and suddenly he didn't know how to answer.

Tell the truth? He deliberately bypassed her, the original elite intelligence ninja, and sent a young man who had been unfamiliar with espionage work for many years to infiltrate Kumogakure, but now the mission failed.

What if Nonoyu comes to take the initiative to accept this task after learning the truth?

Concealing the truth just to make money? However, Kumogakure’s movements still require sending close members of the Anbu to gather information again. Although Asahi Ye has sacrificed, he still has to find someone to continue doing this matter...

Unfortunately, he never expected that his short silence and hesitation would lead to misunderstanding by Nonoyu.

At this time, Yakushi Nonou obviously thought that Minato Namikaze was worried because of the failure of Asano's mission, and he didn't want to express his worries.

Thinking of this, her mind first recalled the voice of Chaoyang Ye when he was reminiscing with her for the last time, and then the happy smiles of the children in the orphanage who had officially settled down in their lives recently, and her heart suddenly became firm. He stood up and soon made up his mind. He looked at Namikaze Minato with sincere eyes and said seriously: "Hokage-sama, if possible, let me take over Asano's mission and complete it for you..."

She did not notice that the person she was serving was Namikaze Minato himself, not the village Konoha.

Namikaze Minato on the other side actually didn't notice this detail. After all, the ANBU was directly responsible to the Hokage. Putting it this way, it didn't sound like much of a problem on the surface...

Sure enough, you still took the initiative to bring it up?

Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly in his heart. At this moment, Nonoyu's firm and sincere eyes were burning, and he was afraid to look directly at him.

"...Qing, Chaoyang Ye's mission has indeed failed. In the last message he sent back, he said that the internal protection against spies in Yunyin Village is unprecedentedly strict."

Namikaze Minato pondered for a while, but decided to truthfully tell Nonoyu the truth. In order to dispel her idea of ​​volunteering, he immediately said: "Based on the situation, I'm afraid it's not the best time to infiltrate now..."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the determination in Yao Shi Ye Naiyu's eyes became even more intense.

After intellectually adjusting the glasses on the bridge of his nose, he actually retorted: "Hokage-sama, my subordinates don't think so."

"Based on my past experience in espionage work, the more vigorous the investigation activities within Kumogakure and Iwagakure are, the more likely it is that there are major secrets hidden in the secrets."

"So I feel that the more valuable the information you can obtain when you dive into the most difficult period..."

These words were well-founded. Although Namikaze Minato knew that Nonou was a rare espionage elite in Danzo's words, at this time, through her words and experience, he finally realized a little bit about the extraordinary judgment of an experienced spy ninja. force.

But even so, he still didn't want Nonoyu to be in danger.

"Your judgment is not unreasonable, but let me think about it again..."

Namikaze Minato nodded approvingly at first, and then thought about dealing with it first, and then thinking about whether there was any other way. In his heart, Yakushi Nonou would never be willing to send him on a dangerous mission unless he had no choice.

Seeing that Namikaze Minato didn't agree to her immediately, Nono U felt a little disappointed.

These days, she always had a vague feeling that Lord Hokage seemed to be deliberately arranging some idle work for her. She was supposed to experience battles and dangerous ANBU duties from time to time, but it was fine if she didn't have any of them, but now she was able to complete them quickly. Got a civil service. Of course, it's not that she doesn't like tasks that don't require combat and comfortable civilian jobs, but she always feels that doing this kind of work is really not suitable for the ANBU position.

At this time, she finally had the opportunity to show off her skills in the field she was best at and repay Lord Hokage's kindness. Of course, she couldn't help but want to join him. As for avenging her junior Asahi Ye, who once belonged to the same root, and inheriting his unfulfilled last wish, it is also part of her motivation.

Fortunately, Nonoyu's slight unwillingness only lasted for about half a day.

Afterwards, Namikaze Minato was forced to have no choice but to let the top spy of the original root with the title of Wandering Miko take action to solve the urgent need.

The reason why he finally decided on this was mainly because on the one hand he was under pressure from Danzo and his advisers to increase the number of troops in the Kusa no Kuni, and on the other hand because apart from Nono U, Asahi No, who had the best intelligence ability among ANBU, If they all failed, sending others would be a waste of lives...

The last thing I want to mention is that Namikaze Minato suddenly changed his attention and sent Nonou to Kumogakure to gather information, which naturally minimized the danger for him.

After careful consideration, he chose the extremely risky option of handing over the Flying Thunder God Kunai of the Ninja Sword to Nonoyu.

As his final trump card to ensure safety...
