Naruto : Minato back to the past

After the words fell, Minato couldn't help but be a little stunned.

He immediately pondered in his heart, he had long understood that the arrangements made by Hiruzen for him in the past two years were to train him.

Even so, now that Hiruzen asked him about the dispute in front of Kushina,

Minato's answer represented his political stance.

Third Hokage, is he examining my political views?

"Let me tell you first, the ninja who had an argument with you and the Anbu tonight is a member of the Root under the command of Danzo."

Hiruzen said this, and briefly informed Minato of the function of the root.

Minato himself knew it, but the Root was actually rarely touched by the ninjas in the village.

The Third Hokage words show that he has completely trusted Minato, otherwise he would not easily tell others about the existence of "Root".

After listening to this, Minato fell into deep thought.

Hiruzen kept observing his expression.

Ten minutes later, Minato frowned and said, "The functions of the roots are special, so they should exist as an unconventional force. They are necessary for the village. In this way, the power of the village will not be easily exposed. At the critical moment, combining it with the power of the village it will definitely play a big role."

Not only Konoha, but the five major ninja countries also have Anbu and Root-like existences, which were all established in imitation of Konoha.

They guard the village like a shadow, and the power they possess is unknown to the world.

Minato's answer simply illustrates the importance of roots to the village.

As for the rest, it was not something he could say now. Minato knew very well that Hiruzen valued the unity of the village the most.

Danzo and Root are both allies of Konoha.

"Smart little guy."

Hiruzen thought to himself, how could he not see through Minato's little thoughts. The latter was certainly dissatisfied with Root, but that was not what he cared about.

He was the same.

What Hiruzen cared about was whether Minato had a sense of the overall situation.

As for the root problem, he himself has not been able to solve it perfectly. For Minato now, it is too early to solve this problem.

These matters will be resolved by the next generation of Hokage, and Minato is one of the candidates for Hokage in his mind

Hiruzen was quite satisfied with Minato's political views, and immediately said with a smile: "Since you have mastered Fuinjutsu of the Uzumaki clan, then I will leave the task of repairing the village barrier to you."

The barrier left by Mito was last thoroughly repaired when she was still alive.

Even Hiruzen himself does not have the ability to completely repair this barrier.

He originally thought that Kushina would be competent after she grew up.

"Yes!"

Minato said that, in fact, he just wanted to go and see if there were really no signs that anyone had touched the barrier of Konoha.

"I want to take Kushina with me. She has practiced Fuinjutsu very well. It will take a lot of time for me to repair it alone." Minato said.

"Okay." Hiruzen chuckled. He didn't care whether this was Minato's excuse for wanting to stay with Kushina.

Having said that, Minato took his leave and instantly disappeared from the sight of the Hokage.

The smile on Hokage's face suddenly stopped, his face sank, he stood up from his seat and walked out of the office.

Elsewhere

Under the darkness, a white-haired old man responded slightly and slowly raised his eyelids.

"You're back. How are things going?"

Ripples appeared on the ground like water lines, and a white figure gradually floated up.

"Failed." Zetsu replied.

"Is it that kid Namikaze Minato again?" The old man's face trembled, then he regained his composure.

Zetsu said: "Originally, C had already arrived at the Land of Grass with the girl in her arms, but Namikaze Minato suddenly appeared, rescued her, and injured C."

The old man had already expected this in his mind. Since he knew that Namikaze Minato mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Uzumaki clan's Fuinjutsu , it was not surprising that he could do all this.

His plan to weaken Konoha's power was destroyed once again.

"I know."

The old man said something, then slowly closed his eyes.

Zetsu actually wanted to know what he was feeling at the moment. After all, he had been defeated by a young man repeatedly.

But it didn't say much, standing quietly by the side. Here, it soon returned to the quiet darkness.

The next day, early morning.

Minato and Kushina came to the Konoha Barrier HQ. The huge room was covered with dense sealing patterns.

Dozens of ninjas who are skilled in barrier techniques each have their own duties and are guarding Konoha at all times.

After obtaining permission, the two observed here for a while.

"Where is the axis of the barrier?"

Minato asked a ninja, this kind of large barrier that protects the village will have an axis, which is the core of the barrier.

"It is kept by Lady Suzuka." the man replied.

This answer was not unexpected for Minato. He had seen Suzuka cast a barrier, and the latter's level should be a little stronger than Kushina's current level.

"Then let's go." Minato put his hand on Kushina's shoulder, and the two of them disappeared suddenly.

The residence of Hatake Sakumo, of the Hatake clan.

"You're here." Suzuka seemed to be preparing lunch, dressed in kitchen clothes.

Minato immediately explained why he was there.

Suzuka listened and took out a scroll from her arms and handed it to Minato. This was the axis of the Konoha barrier and she must carry it with her at all times and could not leave it.

"It's already noon, why don't you stay here and have lunch before working." Suzuka chuckled.

"Okay." Minato agreed immediately, and Kushina happily went to help her cook.

Hatake Sakumo was out on a mission and not at home. Minato had nothing to do and was about to go see what Kakashi was doing.

When he arrived at the backyard, Minato saw little Kakashi sitting cross-legged.

He was slightly stunned, but he did not disturb him and just observed him from where he was.

Minato sensed that Kakashi was concentrating his chakra at this moment.

He is only one year old now, but when Kakashi was five years old in his old past, he had already become a Genin.

It seems that under the influence of Senior Sakumo, Kakashi started practicing very early,

but he obviously has not succeeded yet. Practicing too early is actually not a good thing.

Because no matter how talented one is, one will eventually be limited by age and body.

Given Kakashi's physical condition, it would take at least another year for the chakra he condensed to remain in his body.

Seeing Kakashi in front of him, Minato couldn't help but have a flickering expression.

Minato thought of the other two members of his team, Obito and Rin. They were probably not old enough to enter the ninja school yet.
