Haiichi and Dingzao were slightly stunned. If the position of the Fourth Hokage does not belong to Orochimaru, then who else in the village can be qualified?

Could it be the other two Sannin?

"Who knows about this kind of thing. Moreover, contacting Lord Orochimaru at this time will only arouse the suspicion of the higher-ups, and you will get nothing else. Besides, don't forget what the content of our mission is."

What is the task?

Haiyi and Dingzuo looked at each other.

This time, the three of them rushed to the Country of Grass to assist Yellow Flash's team and obey all the commands of Yellow Flash Namikaze Minato to carry out an S-class secret mission.

"Shikaku, you mean Minato?"

"No, it's impossible, Minato is too young."

Haiyi and Dingzuo were both a little unbelievable.

"Because he is young and does not have his own team, it is easier to be controlled. Wait a minute, if after defeating Iwagakure, Minato is then transferred to Yuno Country to deal with Kumogakure, it is basically certain that the Third Generation is doing something for him.

Minato has paved the way and is ready to give up Lord Orochimaru."

Shikaku said calmly, with a light of wisdom that could see through everything in his eyes.

Haiichi and Dingza still couldn't let go. The three of them were old acquaintances with Minato, and their usual relationship was very good. If it is true as Shikaku said, the position of the Fourth Hokage is likely to fall on Minato. As a contemporary

For a ninja, it was really shocking.

But from another perspective, Minato becoming the Fourth Hokage is probably a puppet pushed to the forefront by the Third Hokage. The real decision maker in Konoha will probably still be the Third Hokage himself.

This situation is really complicated. Haiyi and Dingzuo shook their heads, not daring to think about it anymore.

I hope there won't be any troubles within the village over the position of the Fourth Hokage.

"They're coming."

Shikaku raised his head and stopped in front of him, followed by Haiyi and Dingzao.

In front, two figures, one large and one small, appeared.

It was Minato and Kakashi.

"Shikaku, Haiichi, Dingzao, we haven't seen each other for a while."

Minato called out the names of the three people.

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, you have become a famous yellow flash in the ninja world. I really belong to you, Minato."

Lu Jiu looked at Minato's young and energetic smiling face and sighed with admiration from the bottom of his heart.

It wouldn't be a bad thing if such a person became the Fourth Hokage.

Compared to Orochimaru, Minato was more knowledgeable to them, the age gap was not big, and they were easy to cooperate with.

The three of them joined the team. Minato, who has no team, will also pay more attention to the abilities of the three of them. They can squeeze into the core layer at once instead of starting from the outside.

Kakashi also nodded to Shikaku and the others. Although these people were his seniors, he, who was officially promoted to jounin, was already an equal level ninja with them, and there was no superior-subordinate relationship with them.

"Sorry, I can't catch up with you now. I'll treat you to dinner when I get back."

Minato felt slightly apologetic.

"You're welcome, these are extraordinary times, we all understand. So, what is this S-class mission?"

Shikaku waved his hand, telling Minato not to pay attention.

Minato nodded, took out a scroll from his ninja bag, and spread it on the ground so that Shikaku, the three of them, and Kakashi could all see it, with a map drawn on it.

"These places are the most important supply points for Iwagakure in the Country of Grass. Next, we will remove all these supply points within one day. Shikaku, you and Kakashi will act together and be responsible for attracting the enemy's

Attention, I will do the action of destroying the supply point by myself. If you understand, start taking action now. Kakashi has a backup map with him and a specific course of action."

Minato looked serious.

"Understood. But, Minato, is it okay for you to move alone?"

Lu Jiu paused and asked.

Minato nodded and replied: "Don't worry, I have done the investigation in advance. According to my investigation, Hinata Ayane has stopped cooperating with Iwagakure. As long as she doesn't come to cause trouble, I will be enough by myself. Going too much

People will waste time instead."

This is the drawback of the flying thunder god technique.

Because he moves too fast, he often has to fight alone, and the other Konoha ninjas are unable to coordinate tactics with him.

Moreover, he needed to remove all of Iwagakure's supply points in the Land of Grass within one day, which proved that he could not be distracted from taking care of the safety of his companions and must end the battle as quickly as possible.

"That's no problem."

Shikaku agreed.

Haiyi and Dingzao were led by Shikaku, and Shikaku agreed, so they naturally agreed with Minato's strategy of dividing their forces.

"I'll leave it to you here."

After Minato finished speaking, he disappeared from where he was.

"Follow me, I will make detailed arrangements on the way."

Kakashi didn't say much and started to take action.

Shikaku and the other three scratched their heads. It seemed a little strange for the three of them as adults to listen to a twelve-year-old child.

Normally, after Minato leaves, aren't the three of them in charge?

Although the other party was also officially recognized as a Jonin by the village, something was still wrong.

"Forget it, just follow. Anyway, the key point of the mission lies with Minato. We are all just dispensable pawns."

Shikaku smiled helplessly, and followed Kakashi's footsteps with Haiichi and Dingzao.

◎

Moist Bone Forest.

In the bare woods that are as white as bones, Shiraishi brought Obito and Lin here to give basic lessons on natural energy.

Although the practice of natural energy can also be carried out in the outside world, the density of natural energy here in Shigulin is high, making it easier to complete the basic practice of natural energy.

but……

Shiraishi looked at Obito, who was sitting on the ground and his face was red from suppressing his emotions. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Half a month has passed, and I have told him all the key points of natural energy cultivation, and even demonstrated it in person dozens of times. However, not to mention the control of natural energy, even the breath of natural energy has been ignored.

Didn't feel it.

Shiraishi has never seen such a talent difference in sensing natural energy.

Lin, who is practicing not far away, is already able to better refine her natural energy and use it to practice her physical skills.

"Come out to me, natural energy!"

The impatient Obito yelled, but nothing happened and no natural energy was sensed.

"Ahhhhhh, why can't I feel anything?"

Obito fell to the ground and began to give up on himself.

"As I said, you need to calm down and practice, and don't think randomly."

Shiraishi sighed.

Shiraishi suddenly regretted accepting such an idiot as his disciple.

I thought that Obito, who had activated the Mangekyō Sharingan, must have some special hidden talent, but after some testing, he was completely in despair.

This guy's hidden talent is that he is more talented when he reaches the level of Sharingan.

Other than that, physical skills, fire escape, and illusion skills are all of average level, which is better than above, less than below.

If this continues, other abilities will not be able to effectively cooperate with the Mangekyō Sharingan, and will become a drag on the blood inheritance limit.

Therefore, Shiraishi planned to teach it from the most basic natural energy.

Taijutsu is the most basic and essential skill for ninjas.

If you master the natural energy, your physical skills will never be bad.

"But I have tried hard to calm down and practice."

Obito looked like I was already practicing meditation seriously.

"Really? Isn't it really because Lin is not far away that I can't meditate?"

Shiraishi stared at Obito with suspicious eyes.

"You, what are you talking about? What does this have to do with Lin? I think there's just something wrong with your teaching methods."

Obito used lame excuses to excuse himself.

From time to time, her eyes would peek towards Lin who was not far away, and Lin would occasionally feel Obito peeking at her. She was confused for a moment, and then she smiled tenderly at him.

This made Obito blush so much that he felt like a deer in his heart, like a shy young girl in love.
