Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 19 Obito's Slight Sadness

Namikaze Minato, a legendary name.

A child of common origin, he was able to graduate with excellent grades and become a disciple of Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas. After learning Flying Thunder God, he was given the name of Golden Flash and became the Fourth Hokage with his undisputed achievements.

After dying to protect Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto, the child of Minato Namikaze, became the child of prophecy who would save the world.

Golden Flash, the Fourth Hokage, and the father of the Child of Prophecy.

Minato Namikaze has many titles in the future, but to Kakashi and the other two, Minato Namikaze is just a sunny and cheerful teacher who is always late at critical moments.

"Kakashi, Obito, Rin, I'm sorry I'm late again."

After pushing open the door, Minato Namikaze noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a bit solemn. The three seemed to be talking about some heavy topic, and Kakashi seemed to have lost his sight with his left eye.

"Teacher Minato, you're here just in time. Please help me persuade Lin. She doesn't want to be a ninja anymore."

If it were normal times, Obito would definitely complain about why Minato was late again at the critical moment, but now he was in no mood to blame the teacher, and said anxiously:

"Rin doesn't want to be a ninja anymore? Tell me what happened first." Namikaze Minato frowned, but decided to understand the situation first before he could give correct guidance.

It's war time now, and it's not easy for a ninja to retire.

Even if he submitted an application report to the Third Hokage, it would most likely be rejected. During this period, if Nohara Rin still maintained such an attitude, it would be very disadvantageous for him to take on the next task.

After hearing this, Obito seemed to have found his backbone and recounted in detail what had happened in the past few days.

After hearing the whole story, from Kakashi's team being attacked by the Iwagakure ninja to rescuing Nohara Rin and returning to the Konoha base to recuperate, Namikaze Minato fell into a brief silence.

The reason why Lin thought about retiring was not because she was afraid of death.

Instead, she was worried that she would become a burden to the team. This time she caused Kakashi to blind his left eye, and next time she might directly kill her teammates.

But this is not Lin's responsibility at all.

After thinking for a long time, Namikaze Minato said earnestly:
"Lin, do you remember the three rules of medical ninjas? There is nothing wrong with your actions, and I think Obito and Kakashi would be more willing to team up with you than with other medical ninjas."

"If you insist on retiring, I will apply for you when this war is over."

"No matter what choice you make, the teacher supports your decision..."

After saying this, Minato Namikaze left the room and returned the space to Kakashi's team.

After Kakashi became a jonin, and Nohara Rin and Obito became chunin, he was actually no longer the leading jonin of these children.

After Minato Namikaze walked out of the room, Obito couldn't wait to say:
"Lin, you need to think about it carefully. Minato-sensei is right. You need to think about this decision. Kakashi and I really can't lose you."

As he said that, Obito patted Kakashi on the shoulder, and Kakashi nodded and said, "Obito is right."

After feeling the enthusiasm of her companions, Nohara Lin felt much better: "Then I will listen to Minato-sensei and make a decision after returning to the village. However, no matter what my final decision is, we are the most important companions."

"Well, the most important companion!"

Obito agreed, but he felt a little disappointed.

Just a companion? He wants more than just a companion.

After visiting his students, Minato Namikaze found his teacher Jiraiya.

As the highest person in charge of Konoha's fight against Iwagakure, Jiraiya has a lot of things to deal with. Even though he has the assistance of the Nara clan's ninjas, many key decisions still need to be made by him.

This made Jiraiya, who was used to hanging out in places of entertainment, very uncomfortable, and he would rather fight on the front lines.

However, Jiraiya had to stay in the camp to prevent the two Jinchuriki of Iwagakure from launching a surprise attack, so he could only send his favorite disciple Minato Namikaze to fight out and destroy the Iwagakure stronghold.

Seeing Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya smiled: "Minato, you did a great job this time. After eliminating Iwagakure's stronghold in the Land of Grass, we can directly threaten Iwagakure's rear."

"It's all part of my job... I just want this war to end quickly."

Namikaze Minato smiled gently and spoke absentmindedly.

Jiraiya noticed something was wrong with Minato Namikaze, frowned and asked, "Minato, what's on your mind? Is it because of your disciples? They seem to be injured during the mission? Do you want me to send someone to check on them?"

Namikaze Minato nodded: "Something happened, but I believe they can handle it."

"By the way, they seemed to have received help from several Rain Country ninjas while on their mission. From their description, they seemed to be your disciples in the Rain Country."

Hearing this, Jiraiya's eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Tell me about it in detail."

Minato Namikaze did not keep the person in suspense and talked in detail about Bai Ye and others, and also emphasized the last encounter.

"The blue-haired girl who can use paper escape is Konan, and the red-haired boy should be Nagato, but I'm not sure about Byakuya and Uzumaki girl, they are not my disciples."

"I'm really surprised that Konan and Nagato have joined an organization."

Speaking of this, Jiraiya's eyes were filled with memories of the past. The three years he spent with Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato were a past that he would never forget.

After a pause, Jiraiya continued, "However, that Byakuya took the initiative to lend a helping hand to Kakashi. Perhaps he knew the relationship between Kakashi and the others and you and me, so the final invitation was more like a joke."

Namikaze Minato smiled and said: "Thanks to your help, teacher, otherwise my students would be in danger..."

"Okay, okay, stop joking. This has nothing to do with me."

Jiraiya's face turned serious, and he looked more dignified than ever before. He said seriously, "Minato, how are you thinking about running for the Fourth Hokage?"

"The old man has been thinking about retiring recently. After this war, he may choose a successor."

Namikaze Minato chuckled and said, "Teacher Jiraiya, please rest assured. I will participate in the election for the Fourth Hokage. As long as I can gain enough merits in this war and get everyone's recognition, I believe that the Hokage will definitely choose me."

"As long as you have confidence, as a teacher, I will definitely support you!"

After a pause, Jiraiya continued: "But if Orochimaru wins, I will also congratulate him, hahahaha."

Minato Namikaze had long been accustomed to his teacher's personality and maintained a faint smile.

However, he had already been determined to become the Fourth Hokage.
