Naruto the Strongest Hatake

Chapter 178 Konoha's Light
Leaf Village.

Jiraiya, who returned from the mission, walked towards the Hokage office while admiring the pretty beauties in spring clothes on the side of the road.

"Teacher Jiraiya?"

Namikaze Minato, who was about to find Uzumaki Kushina, saw it from a distance, and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Jiraiya, you have been on this mission for a long time, but since you are back , presumably, Fu An will come back soon..."

"Fu An?"

"It is said that a few days ago, his team took on an S-class secret mission from the Kingdom of Thunder, and they have been away from the village for more than half a month..."

Zilai also had a leisurely look on his face.

After being bored for a while, he frowned and said, "He's a kid, what kind of S-level mission will he take?"

"The third generation asked him to go by name," Namikaze Minato said with a smile, rubbing the back of his head. "The third generation has always done things well. He must have a reason for sending Fuan to carry out that task..."

"What's the point? It's been more than half a month. Even the princess who snatched the name of the Kingdom of Thunder should have replied..."

"If it's a mission from the Kingdom of Thunder, it should be normal to have no news for half a month..."

"It may also be abnormal!"

Ji Lai was also in a hurry, and strode directly towards Hokage's office.

Namikaze Minato looked at his back in a hurry, shook his head and sighed with a smile: "I really can't help it, but at this time, only Jiraiya-sensei can find out what Hokage-sama is saying... I hope nothing will happen. Things are going well!"

……

……

When Jiraiya rushed to leave, Hiruzaru Sarutobi was sitting in the living room practicing calligraphy.

Seeing him so leisurely, Zilai also said helplessly: "Hey, old man, it seems that you are quite leisurely..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was stunned.

Zilai also stopped calling him that for some days.

Before and after Shuo Mao's accident, he usually called himself 'teacher' respectfully.But now, he calls himself 'Old Man' as kindly as in the past!
Time, indeed, can eliminate all barriers!

He raised his head, squinted his eyes and asked Zilai with a smile, "Mission completed?"

"I'm going out, how can I not finish it..." Saying this, Jiraiya walked in, sat down in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said, "I'll get the task-related report out for you later, I'll give it to you." I came to see you now because I have something important to ask you..."

"Do you have anything else to do?"

"Fu An."

Jilai also directly opened the skylight to speak bluntly, "I heard after I returned to the village that Fu An was sent by you to perform an S-level mission? Why did you send him to perform an S-level mission? He is just a child...and just a ninja, What do you think about sending Ninja to perform S-level missions?"

"He is an Anbu ninja. For Anbu ninjas, lower ninja, middle ninja, upper ninja, etc. are just illusory levels..."

"But Fu An..."

Seeing that the most important thing he asked was Fu An, Hiruzaru Sarutobi couldn't help feeling the deep love between him and Hatake Sakumo, so he patiently explained: "Jiraiya, Fu An is my subordinate. No one He knows his strength better than me, no, even I don't have a good grasp of his strength..."

"Explain more clearly." Zilai was also a little dizzy.

Seeing him like this, Hiruzaru Sarutobi put his pen on the Bijia Mountain helplessly, and explained: "The original intention and purpose of me sending Fu An to participate in this S-level mission has two layers. First, it is to fulfill him. Second, it is to Let him grow up quickly in the dangerous S-level missions...

But even so, when I sent him to carry out this task, I was still worried.Therefore, after they set off, they specially sent the elite Anbu, who is good at tracking, to follow them to check their situation.Once they are in crisis, the elite Anbu hidden in the dark will come forward to save them from fire and water...

Unexpectedly, the information that Anbu sent back these days surprised me.

Fu An, his growth rate is much faster than we imagined! "

"Nani?"

I don't know the details of the mission, and I am a little confused.

"This mission is confidential, I can't tell you too much... What I can tell you is that you treat Fu An as a child, a ninja. But, who knows, the strength of this 7-year-old child, It’s not inferior to most junin!”

"Nani?!!" Zilai was stunned, "You're making fun of me, old man..."

"When he comes back, you can observe it yourself!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled unfathomably, "The light on this child may be stronger than Sakumo... what I pray for now is his light, Use it in the right place! Otherwise, the brighter the light, the more troublesome it will be for Konoha! It may even destroy Konoha!"
