"Yesterday, if Minato-sensei had asked me to go on a mission, I would definitely have given up my vacation and gone on a mission." "
But now"
"Alas!"
Listening to the words of the Fourth Hokage, Cross Country couldn't help but sigh secretly. A sound.
Because if it were yesterday, it was under Shikaku's compulsory order that Cross Country gave up training and went to enjoy a month's vacation.
On the contrary, after yesterday's party, Cross Country accidentally discovered the new characteristics of wind attribute chakra. He was preparing to give up strict training during his one-month vacation and study some new characteristics of wind attribute chakra, as well as about Things that consolidate the secret foundation of the human body.
Therefore, when he saw the Fourth Hokage preparing to assign two tasks to himself, Cross Country sighed secretly.
Obviously, that was a task given by the Fourth Hokage for fear that it might interfere with his research process.
However, tasks such as accompanying Kushina Uzumaki to "play" when she is bored are better. Even if it can delay some time in cross-country, it cannot be delayed for long. On the contrary, there was still no clue about the task that the Fourth Hokage was going to give. So he was ready to see what the second task that the Fourth Hokage was going to give was.
If the second task assigned by the Fourth Hokage really might interfere with the research process, then Cross Country would have no choice but to find a way to evade it.
Then, Cross Country faced the Fourth Hokage and asked:
"Minato-sensei, what is the second task you are going to give me?" "
That task?"
Cross Country had just finished speaking, and the Fourth Hokage was about to tell about that task. Who would have thought that Uzumaki Kushina's voice suddenly came, interrupting what the Fourth Hokage wanted to say.
"Minato, Cross Country, don't talk outside for now, come and have something to eat!"
"Well, okay! I'll bring Cross Country here now!"
replied Uzumaki Kushina, and the Fourth Hokage looked at her again Off-road, said with a smile: "Off-road, let's have something to eat first, let's chat while eating!" "
Okay!"
Nodding, off-road prepared to follow the fourth generation Hokage through the messy room and arrived In another cleaner room.
Moreover, it is true to say that Uzumaki Kushina has a hot temper and a somewhat bad personality.
But in terms of cooking skills, Uzumaki Kushina still feels a bit like a good wife and mother.
At least when I looked at the food prepared by Kushina Uzumaki, I felt that it looked very delicious.
Then, when they got to Cross Country, the Fourth Hokage and Uzumaki Kushina sat down one after another. Just like what the Fourth Hokage said before, while eating and chatting, Cross Country really discovered that Uzumaki Kushina made more than just selling things. It looks good and tastes pretty good.
However, after chatting for a while, seeing that both Yuchi and the Fourth Hokage had almost eaten, Uzumaki Kushina smiled and tidied the table. The Fourth Hokage saw that Uzumaki Kushina was busy, so he stopped the previous chat, faced the cross country seriously, and asked: "Qiu Xiang, Kushina is busy, then let's talk about what I want to do On to the second task assigned to you! But before talking about the task, I have a question to ask you." "
Cross-country, what level do you think your strength should be?"
"Is it my strength?"
Knowing that the Fourth Hokage's question must have a profound meaning, Cross Country thought for a moment and then answered without any concealment: "It should be no problem to deal with some elite jounin, but for a strong person like you, Minato-sensei, I'm afraid I can't. There is no way to deal with it."
"Well, off-road, your strength is about the same as I imagined. I didn't expect you to improve so fast!" With a sigh, the
Fourth Hokage took a deep breath, and then slowly said to off-road: "Off-road, you are now strong enough to compete with the elite jounin. Many jounin among the mist ninjas have died in your hands. According to the wartime regulations, I can completely assign you as an ANBU beside me. After a few years, you can successfully become a Jonin in the village."
"But."
As he said that, Cross Country actually saw a little helplessness in the eyes of the Fourth Hokage.
After that look of helplessness passed away in a flash, the Fourth Hokage continued what he said before: "But it's a pity, cross-country, because of some problems you don't understand, I'm afraid you can only inherit the name of Jonin step by step. is gone. Therefore, the second task I am going to give you is to hide your strength well, hide your past on the battlefield, and even forget your previous ANBU codename and your shadow's name. Enter the ninja school for further training!"
"Obviously, cross-country, this is unfair to you. After all, it is very difficult for you to return to the ninja school for further training and hide your strength." "But for the sake of the overall situation, I'm afraid
you You have to go to the ninja school for a period of time."
"Also, you must remember cross-country!" "
This is a long-term mission, and it can only be carried out if you hide your strength. Do you understand?"
"Minato-sensei, I know."
After the Fourth Hokage finished speaking, Cross Country just nodded slightly without any strange expression.
But the more the off-roading was like this, the more uncomfortable the Fourth Hokage felt.
Unfortunately, as the Fourth Hokage said, he obviously had his own reasons for entrusting him with cross-country tasks.
Therefore, even if you have thoughts in your mind when going off-road, you can only endure it silently.
Immediately afterwards, after the Fourth Hokage gave two very strange tasks, Cross Country said goodbye to the Fourth Hokage and returned to his home.
But on the way home, there was no unusual off-roading at the Fourth Hokage's house, but he frowned slightly!
"Strange, why does Minato-sensei want me to hide my strength and study in a ninja school?" "
And listening to Minato-sensei, it basically means that I must go to the ninja school in person, and cannot send a shadow clone in front of me. Go. Could it be that in addition to the enemies outside Konoha Village, I have also made enemies within Konoha Village? Are these enemies from the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, or..." "Still with Minato-sensei and the Third Hokage
. Where are the high-level officials who are fighting?"
"It seems that this mission assigned by Teacher Minato has a deeper meaning!" He
thought to himself, and a sneer appeared on Ziyue's face.
And, one thing is beyond doubt.
Even the Fourth Hokage may have never imagined that there are so many things to consider when going off-road, and he doesn't look like an ordinary kid at all. After all, if the Fourth Hokage just mentioned Kakashi's words, then Kakashi would definitely not be able to think of so many things, let alone imagine the mastermind behind the scenes. It is very likely that he and the Fourth Hokage, Those high-ranking officials of Konoha Village with whom the Third Hokage had political disagreements.
But who is Cross Country?
Whether it is the memories of the original plot before the time travel, or the various conspiracies summarized due to the Nara Seal, Cross Country can see that there are actually many dark sides inside the Konoha Village that looks like a white lotus on the surface.
It seems that this time, going to the Ninja School for further training seems to be a boring task, but the cross-country feeling to be researched will not waste much time, and you only need to fool around to pass it smoothly.
However, just because this task is full of dark and negative factors, the mood of off-roading has become a bit unattractive.
Fortunately, off-road is a person who is good at hiding his true thoughts.
In addition, Cross Country's mental illness still needs some time to recover, so after taking a deep breath, Cross Country did not share the Fourth Hokage's meaningful mission with Shikaku, but returned home to complete his daily investigation. Carat practice, as well as the Uzumaki clan's spiritual and mystical practice. After that, Cross Country was more like a normal person, completely forgetting all the tasks assigned by the Fourth Hokage before, and started thinking about some more important things!
"Even if you enter the ninja school for further training, you still have to wait a few months." "
Then before completing the task assigned by Minato-sensei, I will do some research!" "This
is the first thing I need to study!"
"Research. Start!"
