A certain scientific Naruto

Just because someone knew how to use the magical technique of Flying Thunder God, the Konoha ninjas ran away, leaving Kumogakure alone to clean up.

For Minato, it is impossible to catch him without a lot of arrangements in advance, unless he doesn't want to leave. In fact, even arrangements are not very useful. Basically, all barrier seals are useless against Flying Thunder God's techniques. It didn't work, he was still able to run away when he needed to.

In the brief but fatal confrontation, Yuyi also made his own attempt, but unfortunately he failed, and the consequences of his failure were quite serious.

This was probably the most serious injury he had ever suffered in his life. According to the diagnosis of an authoritative medical expert named a pharmacist, it will take about three months for Hagoromo's injuries to fully recover, and it is expected that he will have difficulty moving within one or two months, so it is best not to move at will.

Originally, Hagoromo planned to voluntarily resign from his duties as Minato's guard, but now it seems that there is no need for it. He can't just lie down and carry out the mission. That would be too dedicated... Although in a sense, this situation should also be classified Because it was Yuyi who "voluntarily" resigned.

Frontline Hospital.

In a ward, Hagoromo was leaning on the bed.

Judging from various factors such as strength and connections, he belongs to the privileged class that should be despised, so he can have a ward to himself.

Yuyi stared at the monotonous and uninteresting scenery outside the window, which seemed a bit boring. He had been in this semi-disabled state for a week.

Considering the overall medical environment and basic conditions on the front line, as well as Hagoromo's own injuries, he will probably be sent back to Konoha soon.

It was the first time that I had experienced the treatment of being escorted, although Hagoromo would definitely not be the only patient who would return to Konoha by then.

Just when Yuyi was thinking about something, someone knocked on the door a few times outside, and then walked in without waiting for Yuyi's response.

"Minato-senpai, are you very free these days? By the way, do I still have the right to privacy?" Hagoromo said quite speechlessly.

Because of the injury, Yuyi's voice sounded different from usual, and it felt a little weird.

But the number of times Minato came to visit him in the past few days was really too much.

However, in his current state of being unable to take care of himself, why does he need privacy?

"In terms of leisure, I have indeed been free these days, and a lot of work has been handed over to other ninjas."

A ninja like Minato shouldn't be able to take time off anyway, right? He was still handing over work, so he wouldn't have to skip work just to visit Hagoromo, right?

However, Minato did not explain this point first, but continued, "I just received a letter from Kushina. I told her about your injury before, so I was severely reprimanded."

"This has nothing to do with senior. The injury was caused by my own carelessness. I will explain it to Kushina-sensei when I get back," Hagoromo said, feeling a little sorry for Minato being scolded.

"...but Kushina-sensei sometimes acts like a mother-in-law."

"That's what you said, I didn't say that."

kindness? What's going on with this gesture of quickly drawing a clear line? Maybe Minato won't betray me, right?

Yuyi suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said.

However, in just a few days, the news came back and forth. Is it an urgent package for Kushina?

"Let's not talk about this matter for now. I'm here to tell you today that I will return to Konoha with you in a few days." Minato took the topic back to the main topic.

"Together?" Hagoromo reacted immediately. Was Minato really handing over frontline work?

"Did anything happen on the front line or in Konoha?"

It was probably only for this reason that Minato left the battlefield and returned to Konoha.

"If you want to talk about a change, it is indeed a change. We have just confirmed some important information. I think I will probably stay in Konoha for a long time from now on."

"Stay in Konoha? Return to Konoha, but what about the war?"

"After supporting evidence from all parties, we have received definite news. Ai, the jounin of Kumogakure we met a few days ago, has now officially taken office as the Fourth Raikage..."

"When we encountered each other, it was probably his last routine patrol. After all, with an identity like 'Shadow', it will no longer be possible to freely move around on the front lines."

"In addition, his younger brother, the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki, was seriously injured at the same time, so now the strong threat Kumogakure poses to Konoha in terms of high-end combat power has been greatly eliminated, so..."

"So we don't need you on the front line." Hagoromo said for Minato.

"It probably means this. With Jiraiya-sensei here, there shouldn't be any problems. And it depends on the Sandaime... In short, I still have a lot to learn, and my main job will be in Konoha. .”

In fact, if Orochimaru was willing to stay here at that time, there is a possibility that Minato would have stayed in Konoha since the end of the Iwagakure War to follow the Third Hokage School's plan to govern the village.

In other words, is the Third Hokage ready to help Minato take over? Sandai is only in his mid-fifties now, is he a little anxious?

Or was it to subdue different voices for Minato while his reputation was at its peak?

"In addition to my personal relationship, my wedding date with Kushina is coming soon..."

"Returning to Konoha should be a good thing, for Kushina-sensei too... The Fourth Hokage sounds much better than a name like Golden Flash."

In any case, Golden Flash is only a young leader and an S-class elite monster, and can theoretically be killed alone; while the Fourth Hokage is a world BOSS-level monster, with ownership of a base and countless soldiers and generals. If you want to defeat him, you must form a group.

"No, no, the Hokage's position is still a little far away from me, and what exactly this matter is about is still uncertain. We have to wait until we return to Konoha first."

Still far? Not far away.

Hagoromo made conjectures based on what he knew, and then thought about Minato and Kushina's wedding date. If nothing changed, Minato's appointment as the fourth Hokage should be a matter of time.

"That's fine. If we return to Konoha together, I don't have to worry about safety issues. The future Fourth Hokage will be my guard, so safety is guaranteed." Hagoromo's words were obviously meant as a joke.

In fact, when it comes to scaring people, Naruto's reputation is not as good as golden glitter. Furthermore, the road back to the Fire Country from the Land of Fields should be classified as a safe rear route. Based on the current surrounding situation of the Fire Country, they should not encounter any enemies.

Unless someone is targeting Hagoromo's life.

Theoretically, a good person like Hagoromo... well, theoretically this possibility is not ruled out, because Hagoromo is a "notorious" person in the ninja world. God knows whether several villages will jointly launch a bounty on him. The bounty will definitely not be low, maybe it will be between the Shichibukai and the Yonko.

"Will Akimichi-senpai and Aburame-senpai return to Konoha together?" After thinking about it, Hagoromo asked again.

"No, they will still stay on the front line. Now that the situation in Konoha has stabilized, ninjas with the strength of Ding Zao and Shi Hui are more effective if they stay on the front line. With the number of ninjas we maintain on the front line now, High-end combat power should not be withdrawn excessively."

"Is this an order from the Sandaime?"

"right."

Since it is the third generation's order, it means that those internal disputes that Hagoromo did not know the details of have been calmed down, the bottomless war of the Hokage has been completely settled, and those who should be peaceful must also be peaceful. Come on, in this case, as long as Minato stays in Konoha, his safety is indeed more guaranteed. If he also brings Akimichi and Aburame with him, he will indeed have excess combat power...

Besides, Minato was not the kind of ninja who couldn't live without his guards.

"What about the guard?"

In fact, what Hagoromo wants to ask is the next arrangement with himself. Although he is now semi-disabled and will be transported back to Konoha, what happens after that.

"Including you, all three of my guards will be replaced in the future. Now the new guards are still looking for candidates. The third generation means that they will choose from young ninjas..."

In fact, Hagoromo was not originally on the list of replacements, but considering that he would be on the streets for a long time, the Third Hokage had to find someone to fill his vacancy in a passive sense.

"As for the arrangements for you, we will probably have to wait until you recover from your injuries."

"Then when will we return?"

Minato did not explain the specific arrangements, because they have not been arranged yet. After all, Hagoromo is now and will be seriously injured for a long time, so there is no need to worry about this matter.

"Just in these few days."

Indeed, within these few days...

One day after that, Hagoromo was gently carried to a carriage by the medical ninja sisters, and then he returned to Konoha with the other sick and injured ninjas.

The ones responsible for guarding the injured were some of the ninjas who regularly returned to Konoha to rest, and Minato was among them.

Hagoromo was still being cared for, and the carriage moved very gently. After all, with his current injury, he could become Iron Man just by pressing a lightbulb in the hole in his chest. It was definitely not suitable for bumpy rides.

The group of people set out early in the morning, from the time when the sun was shining in the sky and the flowers were smiling at him, until they walked to the west where the sun was about to set. During this period, Hagoromo paid little attention to the journey. He was immersed in a certain emotion and couldn't extricate himself.

In fact, every frontline ninja has been on this journey many times, and Hagoromo is no exception. It is so familiar that it cannot be more familiar, but this slow state often makes people think about some things that are not there.

But except Yuyi himself, no one knew what he was thinking.

No one but himself knows what he will do next.

In short, Konoha is not far ahead.
