Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu - Chapter 184: Minato Is Also Good

Chapter 184: Minato Is Also Good

Looking at Minato in front of him, Hiruzen still remembers that one day, many years ago, Jiraiya suddenly came over and said that his disciple, Minato had the talent of training Space-Time Ninjutsu, so he asked for the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Hiruzen is resistant at first. After all, the talent of training Space-Time Ninjutsu is not a Chinese cabbage. It’s not something someone have just because they say it.

Furthermore, this is the powerful Forbidden Technique recorded on Scroll of Seals, so not anyone who wants to learn it can learn it!

However, coupled with coax and pester, Jiraiya didn’t hesitate to use the merits he has made for many years at the expense of his life to get Flying Thunder God Technique for Namikaze Minato.

Hiruzen couldn’t do anything about it, so after asking Anbu to investigate Minato’s background seriously, he considered it again and again and finally agreed.

He first thought that it was just Jiraiya’s mischief again, and after a while, it would pass. However, what Hiruzen didn’t expect was that Minato actually mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique!

After that, Hiruzen began to pay attention to and attached great importance to Minato, and gradually entrusted him with some important missions. Over the years, Minato has never let him down even once!

Moreover, Hiruzen has also discovered that Minato has a very special gentle temperament after getting along over the years, especially when dealing with people and things, it is easy for people to feel close to him.

‘If he were to be the Hokage, he would definitely be welcomed by all civilians, right?’

‘Huh?’

‘Wait… Why do I have this idea?’

The successor candidate in my heart is Orochimaru!

‘…However, Minato, who has mastered Flying Thunder God Technique, is also very strong. His character is equally calm and wise, and he is also full of love for his companions and the village. Moreover, he is also just a commoner, and there is no intricate interest relationship behind him!’

‘More importantly, Minato has undoubtedly inherited the Will of Fire!’

‘Looking at it this way, Minato and Orochimaru are so alike. Why haven’t I noticed it before?’

Hiruzen pondered for a while, and soon figured it out. Orochimaru is cold, like the cold moonlight, and Minato is gentle, like warm sunshine. The two are like the Sun and the Moon. Although they are both in the sky, Minato can only be seen during the day and Orochimaru can only be seen at night, so Hiruzen has never noticed this.

…

Minato doesn’t know about Hiruzen’s inner drama, and smiled a little embarrassedly: “Hokage-sama, you guessed it well, I do indeed want to further develop the Flying Thunder God Technique! So, I need to learn from the research notes left by Nidaime-sama!”

Hiruzen snapped back to his senses, and without thinking much, directly asked Anbu to fetch the Flying Thunder God Technique’s research notes directly.

“Minato, I heard that you have created another Ninjutsu in the past few years?” Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly asked.

“Yes, I got the inspiration from the Bijūdama. It took three years to complete, and called Rasengan.” Minato talked about this with great interest, and the smile on his face was also bright, “Moreover, Rasengan is a non-hand seal Ninjutsu, which can perfectly match with the Flying Thunder God Technique, I…”

“It’s all because of my education!”

Jiraiya next to him suddenly interjected. He put his hands on his hips, shook his head, and his white hair moved around behind him. He then said very loudly, “It took Minato three years to develop Rasengan, but I only spent short time to learn it. What does this mean? This shows that my talent is far superior to Minato, so that I can educate a disciple like Minato, hahaha…”

“Shut up, you idiot!”

If it weren’t for Minato being here, Hiruzen would have lifted his chair and threw it at certain someone.

Jiraiya just nodded and triumphantly said with a snort: “Smelly old man, you must be jealous of me having such an excellent disciple, right?”

“What do you mean by that? You are also my disciple!”

Hiruzen fiercely glared at Jiraiya, and said, “For you to be able to teach a disciple like Minato, my credit is not lesser than yours!”

“What a shameless old man…”

Jiraiya turned his head and pouted, not giving the Hokage any face at all.

But in fact, Jiraiya is also shrewd. He deliberately changed the subject, even deliberately angering Hiruzen, it’s all just to guard against what bullshit the old man would use to make Minato hand in the Rasengan’s training method.

‘As a master, it is my duty to protect the private property of my disciples!’

Jiraiya is full of self-consciousness.

Hiruzen took two deep breaths. As an old fox, he soon noticed Jiraiya’s deep intentions of turning the subject off and couldn’t help but glared at him again, but he didn’t mention Rasengan again after that.

It didn’t take long for the Anbu to fetch the research notes left by Nidaime on the Flying Thunder God Technique.

“It’s all here.”

”

”

Hiruzen looked at the serial numbers of the several notebooks, and solemnly handed them over to Minato, “Minato, you… Don’t let me down!”

“Yes!”

Minato’s blue pupils were flickering with excitement. He carefully took the notebooks and said with a smile, “Hokage-sama, Teacher Jiraiya, then I will go back first!”

Hiruzen nodded.

Just after Minato took two steps, he suddenly turned his head and said seriously: “Hokage-sama, if there is a need on the front line, I can leave at any time!”

Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this: “I understand.”

After Minato leave, Jiraiya randomly found a place to sit down, crossed his legs and said: “Old man, do you know what Minato’s dream is?”

“Become a Hokage… right?”

If Hiruzen says he doesn’t know, he must be beyond stupid.

He turned around and walked to the window, looking up at the blue sky, and gradually lost his senses.

“Yes, this is the ambition and dream that Minato had set before entering the Academy! Over the years, he has been working hard for this dream, both in life and training, he is very strict with himself…”

Jiraiya suddenly changed the subject, and said quietly, “Old man, you are old…”

“Is this the attitude you should use when talking to your teacher?” Hiruzen was furious.

“But your white hair is indeed getting more and more.” Jiraiya pointed to Hiruzen’s temples, “You obviously didn’t have those white hairs half a year ago.”

Hiruzen subconsciously reached out and touched the graying hair on his temples, and sighed deeply: “People will always get old, and I also can’t avoid it. If you guys are willing to help me, I won’t have to work every day until late at night, you…”

Hiruzen is getting more and more vigorous as he said that, but he feels that something is not right when he said it, as the surroundings were too quiet!

He turned his head and saw that Jiraiya had already disappeared without a trace.

‘This guy!’

Hiruzen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and then looked up again at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window again, thinking about Konoha’s future.
