A certain scientific Naruto

"Minato-senpai has been officially confirmed as the candidate for the Fourth Hokage."

When Yuyi said this, his voice was a little strange.

Because of Obito and Lin's incident, he still stayed in Konoha Village, and he looked obviously a little sad. It was obvious that the impact of this incident on him would not subside for a while.

At Kushina's house, he was sitting on the ground with his legs stretched out, his arms hanging weakly and his body bent forward. He put half of his face on the table and looked out the window.

This kind of look is indeed not the style of a ninja, but considering Kakashi's state at this time, Kushina feels that Hagoromo is much better, and... in the final analysis, Hagoromo's current appearance is just a subconscious reaction to Kushina just now It's just imitation. Even as a teacher, she has no position to criticize.

After suddenly hearing the sound of breaking porcelain, Hagoromo struggled to change the direction of his gaze, changing his face and continuing to press it on the table.

Just so he could see what was going on on the other side...probably dropped the plate again.

Why say again? In short, Yuyi has already surrendered to such a thing.

Anyway, Kushina's face has not changed at all, she is completely calm and accustomed to it, her cooking skills have not improved much, and she has probably given up treatment completely after working hard for a while.

Certain things do require talent...like being a ninja, being a ninja really requires talent.

"The whole village already knew about this matter this morning. If it weren't for the fact that Lin still had Obito, Minato would probably be happier."

When Kushina said this, the long red hair just fell down in front of her forehead. Hagoromo could only see the strands of hair and Kushina's chin and the corners of her mouth, but he couldn't see what her eyes were like now.

It was probably the kind of look that Hagororo would never want to see on Kushina's face.

If it weren't for this period, Kushina would be happier.

The Fourth Hokage's incident is worthy of happiness for Minato. As for her goal of becoming Hokage in the future, which she said when she was a child, she probably blurted it out under pressure. She is not so obsessed with "Hokage", and in After she really met Minato, she should have given up on this kind of thing long ago.

Becoming Hokage was no longer among her happiness.

What is now announced in Konoha about Minato is not just as simple as becoming the fourth Hokage candidate, but more importantly, this candidate is the only one.

It is most obvious what this means.

In fact, Namikaze Minato is not a candidate for Hokage at this time, he has become a backup Hokage, and probably the third generation will gradually transfer authority to him in the future.

There was a good reason to confirm the candidate of the Fourth Hokage after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge. At this time, Iwagakure's defeat was almost a foregone conclusion. What's more important was that Konoha and Kirigakure had previously signed a formal agreement. News of the peace agreement has also spread back, and the Watergate incident is the good news after the good news.

Due to the influence over the years, the name "Golden Flash" is known to everyone in Konoha. Coupled with Minato's own affinity and the natural closeness brought by his civilian background, basically the decision of the Third Hokage has been made in Konoha. Ye has no objections, and the lower the civilians and the more ordinary ninjas are, the stronger their willingness to support.

Of course, just basically.

"Were there no twists and turns in the process?" Yuyi quickly asked in order to prevent both parties from being immersed in those painful emotions.

Kushina paused for a moment, and then said hesitantly, "There's no big problem."

There is no big problem, just a lot of small problems, and from Kushina's hesitant expression, Hagoromo can imagine that the so-called small problems are probably not that small.

Kushina probably didn't want Hagoromo to have too much contact with some things at this time, which was considered to be protecting him in some aspects.

How could things be without twists and turns? Some old-school upper-class officials would certainly object to letting such a young person become Hokage... In fact, even if Jiraiya became the fourth generation Hokage, they would still question it, but the object of questioning would only change from age. It just becomes a certain character.

The struggle for the authority of the village chief is very fierce, especially during this period when all the major ninja villages are changing generations. This is the case for Kirigakure and the same for Konoha.

The Fourth Raikage, the Fourth Mizukage, and the Fourth Hokage all face the problem of superiority. Fortunately, Konoha has the suppression of the Third Hokage, so there will be no large-scale bloodshed.

In fact, after hearing Minato's appointment, Hagoromo's new mission came into being - for a long time to come, he will exist as Minato's guard. Basically, he will go wherever Minato goes. Unless there are special circumstances, he will not be involved in other tasks.

And corresponding to this special period when the Hokage is about to change, acquaintances who are guards, including Hagoromo, have also received a special privilege, that is, not only enemies can attack at will, but even ninjas from the same village show their intention to attack Minato. The measure is... kill them without fail.

It doesn't even matter if one or two ninjas are accidentally killed. The guard's protection range not only includes attacks from enemies, but also attacks from within Konoha.

This mission statement was written by the Third Hokage himself. Through such instructions, the dark side of the real village was exposed, and the Third Hokage also had a cruel side.

For this task, Hagoromo's first reaction was to refuse, not because he thought a ninja like Minato did not need protection, but because...

The unknown is uneasy, and the partial knowledge is frightening. He actually wants to step down from all positions and stay in Konoha to ensure that he can stay by Kushina's side when any changes occur.

Although he was very moved, he gave up such an idea in the end. First of all, he knew that it was too early. Even if Obito could really survive this time, he would judge his injuries based on the conditions that Hagoromo had seen with his own eyes on the battlefield. , it is not easy for him to recover.

So even if some of the few things Hagoromo knows about will happen as scheduled, it's not now. He still needs to wait if he wants to stop.

He was telling himself not to panic.

New techniques are also being developed, and everything takes time.

Looking at Kushina who had been working around for some reason, Hagoromo knew that it was not the right time for him to stay in Konoha.

The village will not allow a combat force like him to remain idle for no reason, especially now that the war has reached the most critical end period.

Moreover, staying by Minato's side can also gradually exert influence on him and increase his vigilance about future events step by step.

"Hagoromo? Why are you staring at me, lost in thought?"

Kushina asked after not hearing Hagoromo's response and sensing his unfocused gaze.

"Uh, it's nothing."

It's really nothing, Kushina just needs to stay like this.

Hagoromo continued, "Speaking of which, how is Kakashi?"

I casually and deliberately did not talk about such topics, but after going around and around, I still came back to this matter.

"Kakashi... doesn't look good. He was greatly shocked. After all, Obito and Rin's incidents happened one after another in front of his eyes."

"Now Minato's team no longer exists. According to Minato himself, it seems that he intends to let Kakashi join the ANBU..."

Let Kakashi join ANBU at this time? Minato may have his own considerations, but is this really a good thing? Do you still think the other person is not gloomy enough?

Could it be fighting fire with fire?

"Is this okay? Maybe it would be better for him to stay with Kai."

Because there are many differences in personality and experiences, there may not be a question of who has a stronger mind between Kakashi and Metkai. Moreover, Dai's matter is different from Lin's. Matt Dai's death can be regarded as In the past, benevolence was rewarded, but Lin only had heartache and regret.

Kushina shook her head and said, "Maybe Minato has a deeper consideration."

In fact, Hagoromo was just making blind ideas. He tried to let the more active Kai influence Kakashi, but no one can influence a person who is closed to himself.

Kakashi now wants to perish in silence. Although the reason is understandable, people in this state... To be honest, Hagoromo doesn't want to talk to him.

What has happened is called reality. Regardless of whether it is official, ignored or ignored, it is a fixed fact that cannot be changed. Everyone's attitude towards these things is not consistent. He will not stop at Yuyi.

He'll be back on the battlefield soon.
