Naruto : Minato back to the past

"Just like what I did before, I will protect Kushina!"

At this moment, Minato's eyes were filled with an unshakable determination.

This kind of determination made even Sandaime tremble slightly.

He couldn't understand how Minato could have such an attitude, and he didn't know that Minato's words transcended the shackles of life and death and time and space.

Although the real crisis was still far away, Minato had silently recited that sentence countless times in his heart.

[If I can meet you again, no one can take you away from me! ]

It was Kushina's sacrifice that gave him this opportunity, so Minato didn't allow her to suffer any more grievances.

"I understand your feelings," said Sandaime after a moment of silence. Minato's solemnity at this moment was the same as his attitude to protect the Konoha Ninja Village, and he could do everything at all costs.

This will was inherited from the First Hokage and the Second Hokage.

"But with your current status, you are still not qualified to say these words." However, Sandaime changed the subject.

"I can understand what you mean. You want to be Kushina's personal guard, and let her perform tasks freely under the premise that you can protect her, right?"

Minato nodded. He had always protected Kushina in the past.

But at the most critical moment of her life, Minato was lured away . When he arrived, everything was too late.

At the same time, he also knew that with his current status, it was indeed impossible for the several high-ranking officials of Konoha to hand Kushina over to him with confidence.

After all, he was not the Konoha Yellow Flash who shocked all ninja countries and dominated the world.

Even though Minato's growth rate was amazing enough, his training time was still too short.

There is no shortcut to gaining strength. Even though he now carries the power of the Nine-Tails, Minato is very clear about this. Minato was silent for a while, although he had already expected this result.

Previously, he had a gambling mentality, but now he was not strong enough to make everyone put all the weight on him.

"You should know that even if I agree with your plan, the other high-ranking officials of the village will not approve it."

Sandaime frowned slightly, then raised his eyes and stared at Minato, saying: "You do have unparalleled talent and potential, but in this ninja world where strength is respected, if you can't convert them all into power, no matter how good your talent and potential are, they will be meaningless."

"So, only if your strength can convince them, your method can be achieved."

"What is the minimum level?"

Minato asked immediately. He couldn't reach the agreement immediately, but if he wanted to recover to his peak strength before his death, even if he had the experience of his previous life and the power of the Nine-Tails, it would take at least six or seven years.

But Kushina and he couldn't wait that long.

Sandaime heard this, but the corner of his mouth could not help but curl up a little, and smiled: "Minato, how about I give you three years?"

"After three years, as long as you can last three minutes in the hands of Sakumo, I will convince the other high-level officials for you."

Minato was slightly stunned, and then he understood the meaning of Sandaime's request.

Sakumo's strength is almost second only to Sandaime Hokage in the current Konoha. It is not difficult to see from his killing of Tsuchigumi of Iwagakure that although they are all elites among the jonin, this "Konoha White Fang" is better than others.

Even the "Konoha Three Sannin" who are also famous in the ninja world are only inferior to this White Fang. As long as Minato can last three minutes in his hands, even if he cannot defeat such elite strongmen from various countries, he can remain alive.

A ninja of this strength can already touch the real core of the village.

Even those high-level officials can no longer simply look down on Minato.

However, the time set by Sandaime for Minato was very short, only three years.

Minato is now at the level of a jonin, but the road to the peak has always been more and more bumpy.

This is also the reason why many ninjas may only be able to become genin or chunin throughout their lives.

Without enough talent, their strength cannot make any further progress.

However, it is obvious that Minato has this potential, but it takes time.

"Why, do you think the time is too short?"

Sandaime asked. He also felt that the conditions he proposed were indeed a bit difficult.

He has always been calm, and it seems that he has too high expectations for Minato, so this is the case.

However, Minato raised his eyes, smiled, and said, "No, I think three years is too long. Not only can I not wait, but Kushina can't wait either. I only need one and a half years, that's enough!"

As soon as the voice fell, even a ninja professor like Sandaime was stunned.

If this big talk came from someone else, Sandaime would only think it was big talk, but the person in front of him was Minato.

Although he is young, he is always calm and thoughtful.

"Little guy, you are too impatient. The three years I mentioned is already a difficult time, and you even shortened it by half. Do you think you can do it?"

Sandaime said with some sighs. Minato was still too young after all. He was fine at ordinary times, but he was obviously a little impulsive when it came to Kushina.

However, Sandaime did not know that the reason why Minato dared to say so was of course because he relied on something.

With the Flying Thunder God Jutsu that he had improved, as long as he could improve his base qualities to supplement the Flying Thunder God Jutsu in battle, even Sakumo would not be able to take him down within three minutes. Therefore , he said to Sandaime: "It's not that I think I can do it, but there is no other choice. I must succeed!"

[I have already shouldered too much, so I must not fail! ]

Hiruzen, who originally thought that Minato had lost his mind, felt his determination as always in his eyes.

He knew that the other party was not exaggerating, but was truly determined to do it.

He smiled and said, "Little guy, I really admire you."

"In that case, I will give you a gift I prepared in advance."
