Tsunade looked certain.

"..."

A dog’s nose? Shiraishi complained in his mind.

Because during the annual vacation, he and Liuli had been stuck together every day, even at noon today, it was so intense that they were like glue.

And after letting go, the young men and women naturally do not have that mature determination, and suddenly...

Ahem.

"There's no need to say such things."

"You are indeed a young brat." A teasing smile appeared on Tsunade's face, and she pushed Shiraishi's body with her elbow: "How is it? When do you plan to treat me to dinner?"

"This kind of thing is a bit far away, because Liuli's parents are not at home."

"Really? That's a pity."

"Tsunade-sama, Shiraishi-senpai, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand you at all?"

Shizune asked with a confused look.

"Shizune, you will understand when the time comes."

"oh."

Shizune thought for a while but still didn't understand, and followed Tsunade into the office, holding the apology gift Shiraishi gave her in her arms.

"Getting back to the subject, the delegation from the Kingdom of Oni will come to Konoha around April. In order to maintain the friendship between the two countries, I have recommended you to Sarutobi-sensei as a full-time teacher of the second medical ninja experimental class. What's the point?

Is there anything I need to ask for?"

Tsunade sat on the chair, her face became serious.

"I'm very grateful to Tsunade-sensei for trusting me. I'll just arrange an assistant for me when the time comes."

"There's no problem with this. Let Shizune help you when the time comes."

Neither Shiraishi nor Shizune had any objections.

"Speaking of which, you are so brave. Last time you let Shizune sit alone at the barbecue stall until midnight..."

Tsunade remembered something at this moment, and a smile appeared on her face.

"I have already bought expensive things as a gift, but things were a bit sudden last time..."

Shiraishi didn't dare to look at Tsunade, and his voice of explanation became smaller and smaller in the end.

"Forget it, you have realized your mistake anyway, and I will forgive you generously this time. However, can you not come to this class today?"

"Eh? Do you want to fire me?"

Shiraishi was stunned.

"It's not dismissal, it's just that you don't have to go to class today."

"what happened?"

Shiraishi doesn't quite understand.

This isn't a punishment at all, is it? It's a bit weird to say it's a reward...

"When I came here just now, I met Minato on the way. He said he had something to talk to you about and he was waiting for you at the school gate. You can go over."

"Watergate?"

Shiraishi was even more surprised.

Minato Namikaze? Why did he come to see me?

Because he was working with Tsunade, Shiraishi and the other Sannin had met each other before. Although they were not familiar with each other, they would say hello, so they were acquainted.

As a student who enrolled at the same time as himself and a direct disciple of Jiraiya Jounin, one of the Sannin, Shiraishi and Minato had a fairly good relationship, and they could talk harmoniously when they met each other occasionally.

It's just that these conversations are all irrelevant and not about any profound insights.

"I don't know what he wants from you. Can't you find out if you go over and take a look?"

"makes sense."

Shiraishi nodded.

In this case, maybe I really can't go to class with Tsunade today.

After saying goodbye to Tsunade and Shizune, Shiraishi walked towards the entrance of the ninja school, where he saw Minato waiting for him.

Wearing Konoha's Jounin ninja uniform, with yellow hair as dazzling as the sun, and a hearty smile, he is the perfect man in the eyes of many women.

In comparison, Shiraishi felt that he seemed ordinary.

Minato became a jounin almost at the same time as Ruri and Ayane, and with a 100% mission completion rate, he can almost be said to be the best among the ninjas of his generation.

Even many senior jounin expressed their appreciation for him and were not jealous because of his outstanding talents.

Just standing there gives people the impression of a natural leader who can unite people's hearts to the greatest extent.

But Shiraishi, who barely became a chuunin at the age of sixteen, was much inferior.

When people mentioned him, they only knew that he had a genius Jonin girlfriend.

Other than that, it seems that medical ninjutsu is pretty good?

Is it easier to get along in a ninja school?

It seems that these achievements are the only ones left to talk about.

It's really shabby.

Seeing Shiraishi approaching him, Minato waved his hand first and said hello with a smile.

Shiraishi greeted him in the same way, walked over and said, "When Tsunade-sensei said you came to see me, I still didn't believe it, Minato."

"The main thing is that I have something important that I want to discuss with you, otherwise I wouldn't come to you suddenly at this time."

Minato had an apologetic smile on his face.

"It's okay. Teacher Tsunade is there to support me in the class. I'm just a helper at best. So, what's the important thing that makes you come to me at this time?"

"Let's find a place to talk."

Minato suggested.

Shiraishi nodded in agreement.

Minato took Shiraishi to a meatball shop not far from the school. Minato ordered some meatballs as a treat. Not long after he ate them, Minato got down to business: "I want to know something about Kakashi Hatake."

"Kakashi? What happened to him?"

Shiraishi's face moved slightly.

Minato looked both sides to make sure no one noticed this, but he still lowered his voice very carefully and said: "More than a year ago, I am very sorry about Sakumo Jounin. Maybe Sakumo Jounin did cause the village to lose something.

, but I didn’t expect that the villagers would be led by rumors to that extent.”

Bai Shi was silent.

"I'm not saying this to prove anything. It's just that this incident has passed after all, but the subsequent effects have not been eliminated. Hatake Kakashi is the victim who suffered the most from the aftermath. The Hokage changed my team not long ago.

Staff, when this year’s graduates graduate, in addition to two graduates coming to my command, Hatake Kakashi will also be one of them.”

"Minato, are you worried about something?"

Shiraishi asked.

Minato nodded seriously: "Maybe it was influenced by Sakumo Jōnin's suicide. After that, many people said that Kakashi Hatake had changed into a different person. Even I heard a lot of bad things about him.

Rumors. I think that since he will soon become my subordinate, it is my responsibility to guide and protect him."

"So that's it. I'm very grateful for your thoughtfulness. In fact, Ruri, Ayane, I, and I have nothing to do with that kid Kakashi. After Sakumo-sensei passed away, he closed his heart and didn't allow any

People come in. If he continues to go his own way, I'm really worried about his future."

Shiraishi sighed.

"Yes, so I want to ask you about Kakashi's specific situation so that I can prescribe the right medicine."

"That's a great compliment to me. Kakashi has been a very independent person since he was a child. I don't know if the information I know is of any use to you. It would be great if it could help you Minato.

"

"Grateful."

Minato thanked him sincerely.

"No need to do this, this is my duty."

Shiraishi responded with a smile.

About half an hour later, I got the intelligence information about Kakashi from Shiraishi, then talked about some other trivial matters, paid the bill and left here.

Shiraishi sat in his seat, eating meatballs and watching Minato leave.

Just as he had guessed, the Third Hokage still couldn't let go of a ninja with outstanding talent like Kakashi.
