Lurking in Konoha, part-time Hokage

A new day.

Hanekawa arrived at Tsunade's house early.

As expected, she didn't get up.

He opened the door, walked into the living room, stopped in front of her room, and raised his hand to knock on the door.

After a while, the door was opened.

Tsunade closed her eyes, as if sleepwalking.

Hanekawa raised his head subconsciously, and his pupils couldn't help but tremble.

Because she had just gotten up, Tsunade's pajamas were askew, slipped over her shoulders, and hung in the air, creating a stunning scene.

"teacher."

Hanekawa turned around and reminded, "You change your clothes and I'll cook."

"Um."

Tsunade responded vaguely.

After a few seconds, she yawned and opened her eyes.

Tsunade then pulled up her pajamas and suddenly noticed a large area of ​​fair skin exposed.

Did that kid see something?

"Forget it, he's just a little kid anyway."

Tsunade raised her eyebrows and said nonchalantly.

She turned back to the room, quickly changed her clothes, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Not long after, the two of them sat at the dinner table.

"Where should we meet Minato-senpai?"

Hanekawa handed Tsunade a pair of chopsticks and asked.

"Right here."

Tsunade casually took out a kunai and said, "At eight o'clock, Minato will show up."

"Is this the Flying Thunder God Kunai?"

Hanekawa looked at this kunai, which had the mark of the Flying Thunder God and the four words, Sword of Ninja Love.

"Um."

Tsunade explained, "Minato can teleport to any place where the Flying Thunder God's mark is left. Of course, there are chakra restrictions."

“It’s so convenient.”

Hanekawa said with emotion.

"It's convenient, but it's too difficult to learn. There are only two people in the entire Konoha Village who can do it."

Tsunade shook her head and said, "It's almost eight o'clock, let's eat."

"I'm starting!"

Hanekawa clasped his hands together and began to smile.

At eight o'clock sharp, a slight spatial distortion appeared out of thin air in the living room.

Namikaze Minato's body then appeared.

Different from his usual attire, he put on a gray tights and vest, and also put on a mask.

"Tsunade-sama."

Namikaze Minato greeted with a smile on his face, "And Hanekawa, good morning."

"What are you doing wearing a mask? Take it off."

Tsunade looked at his mask, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"ANBU ninjas are not allowed to take off their masks during missions."

Namikaze Minato refused and said, "This is a rule."

Hanekawa remembered that in the theatrical version of "The Lost Tower", he was indeed wearing a mask.

But when he met Uzumaki Naruto later, he still took it off.

A tauren warrior will not take off his mask unless he is a pure love god of war.

"what ever."

Tsunade didn't try to persuade her anymore, stood up and said, "Let's go."

Hanekawa locked the door and ran out of the village with them.

"Loulan is located in the Kingdom of Wind. We may encounter ninjas from Hidden Sand Village, so we must be careful."

Namikaze Minato warned, "If you encounter one, try to avoid fighting."

Hanekawa thought of the Red Sand Scorpion.

He is the grandson of Chiyo and can be called the strongest puppet master in the ninja world.

During this time period, I wonder if the Third Kazekage was killed and then defected.

It was precisely because of his actions that the third Kazekage disappeared, eventually triggering the Third Ninja War.

After entering the Kingdom of Wind, the environment suddenly changed.

The strong wind swept, the yellow sand flew, the heat wave rolled, and all you could see was desert.

"Put this on."

Namikaze Minato handed Hanekawa a windbreaker.

"Thank you Minato-senpai."

Hanekawa put on a dustproof windbreaker and put on the hood, and immediately felt much better.

"There are many environments in the ninja world that are worse than the desert. You have to learn to adapt."

Tsunade said casually.

"Yes, teacher."

Hanekawa nodded.

“It feels really good to have a student.”

Namikaze Minato saw this and said with a smile.

"You can apply to the old man to be a team teacher."

Tsunade paused and said, "Maybe you don't need to apply. In two years, he should take the initiative to find you."

"Why?"

Namikaze Minato was slightly startled and asked.

"There are many talented students in Hanekawa's class."

Tsunade explained, "Of course the old man won't miss it."

Namikaze Minato suddenly understood.

If the Hokage lineage wanted to add new talents, he was the most suitable teacher.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen was already old, and the Sannin of Konoha already had students.

Only he didn't.

"I wonder which three students Hokage-sama will assign."

Namikaze Minato immediately thought of Hatake Kakashi.

Apart from Hanekawa, he has the most talent and the strongest strength.

Moreover, he is still the son of Hatake Sakumo, so it is impossible to assign him to an ordinary teacher.

Of the rest, he felt Sarutobi Asuma was the most likely.

He is the son of the Hokage after all.

"Hanekawa can't give it to you anyway."

Tsunade chuckled lightly and said.

"I don't dare to steal Tsunade-sama's student."

Namikaze Minato heard this and showed a sunny smile.

But because they were wearing masks, neither Tsunade nor Hanekawa could see it.

The three of them continued on their way.

The next morning, they finally arrived at their destination.

"It's truly spectacular."

Namikaze Minato looked at the huge building in the distance and couldn't help but say.

"It's truly incredible."

Tsunade echoed.

Tall and thin buildings are densely packed together, forming a steel city.

Compared with the surrounding desolate desert, it is particularly shocking.

"According to the intelligence from the ANBU, Loulan was not like this before. It was because of the transformation of the new minister An Lushan."

Namikaze Minato came back to his senses and said.

It's a pity that Shi Siming is missing.

Hanekawa couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"It seems that Minister An Lushan is not bad at all."

Tsunade looked away and asked, "Should we go to him directly?"

"We have two mission targets, one is Queen Loulan, and the other is the legendary Dragon Vein."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Namikaze Minato shook his head and said, "We want to expose the true face of An Lushan for Queen Loulan, and then seal the dragon veins."

He obviously had a plan in advance, so he spoke in a very organized manner.

"Then let's divide the troops into two groups."

Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "You go find Dragon Vein, Hanekawa and I go find Queen Loulan."

"Can."

Namikaze Minato took out a Flying Thunder God Kunai and handed it to Hanekawa.

As for Tsunade, he had given one before.

"Thank you Minato-senpai."

Hanekawa put it away.

With the Flying Thunder God Kunai, at least there is an extra level of protection.

Although in the original work, Namikaze Minato is always late at critical moments.

"Let's go in."

Namikaze Minato reminded, "Be careful."

"Um."

Tsunade nodded slightly.

The three of them walked towards Loulan. As they got closer, they could better appreciate the architectural style that was different from that of Konoha Village.

"I'll take the first step."

Namikaze Minato paused and said, "After I find the dragon vein, I will teleport to you."

After he finished speaking, he jumped up and quickly disappeared among the buildings.

"Loulan is too big, so it will be troublesome to find someone."

Tsunade looked around and said, "I give you a task. You use illusion to find out the location of Queen Loulan. Remember not to make too much noise."

"OK."

Hanekawa knew that she was testing his ability again.

"Caution comes first."

Tsunade nodded slightly and said.

"Um."

Hanekawa concealed his whereabouts and walked into Loulan.

There was no one on the street, which was very strange.

After thinking for a moment, he understood the reason.

In the original work, after Naruto Uzumaki traveled through time, he happened to encounter the coronation celebration of Sara, the new queen of Loulan.

Hanekawa thought of this and walked out towards the center of the city.

Not long after, he heard bursts of cheers.

Hanekawa saw the crowd and Sara on the tower.

She is young, looks to be sixteen or seventeen years old, and has bright red long hair.

So where is Naruto Uzumaki?

Hanekawa remembered that he would run out to save the beauty heroically.

At this moment, the puppet behind Sara on the tower suddenly pushed her.

Her body became unstable and she fell down.

Hanekawa frowned slightly, and just when he was about to step forward, he saw a dark shadow running out to pick up Sarah.

His heart moved and he quickly followed.

"This little brother, have we met somewhere?"

As soon as Hanekawa arrived in front of a building, he heard a pleasant voice.

In what age are you still using this old-fashioned way of picking up conversations?

He turned his head and was stunned.

The person who saved Sara was not Naruto Uzumaki in the original work, but a beautiful and charming girl, Kurenai Yuhi.

She wore a green Jounin vest, and her long black hair was tied together to form a ponytail.

She has a delicate face and pretty red lips, but there is doubt in her ruby ​​eyes.

"We must have met."

Yuhi Hong frowned and said.

Hanekawa gave her a very familiar feeling.

"Hey! Who are you?"

Sara couldn't help but ask.

"My Queen."

Hanekawa glanced at Yuhi Kurenai and explained, "We are from Konoha Village and are here to protect you."

"Are you from Konoha too?"

Yuhi's red eyes brightened and she quickly asked, "Who is your leading teacher?"

"Tsunade."

Hanekawa thought for a while and said.

"Hokage-sama?"

Yuhi Hong's face suddenly darkened and she said, "You lied to me, Hokage-sama can't be here, and she only has one student."

She was ordered by Tsunade to hunt down Baizu and strengthen the dragon vein seal.

Hanekawa raised an eyebrow.

Did Tsunade still become Hokage?

"I didn't lie to you."

Hanekawa shook his head and asked, "Where are your teammates?"

"I got separated from him and I don't know where he is."

Yuhi Hong paused and said, "But he is very strong, so don't worry too much."

For some reason, she instinctively believed what the little boy in front of her said.

"who is he?"

Hanekawa already had a premonition in his heart.

"He is Hokage-sama's student, Hanekawa."

Yuhi Hong suddenly looked enlightened and said, "Oh! I know why you are so familiar. You are very similar to Hanekawa when he was a child!"

Hanekawa couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

What is this called?

Sure enough, his existence changed the future.

Normally, it would be Yamato, Uzumaki Naruto, Sai, and Haruno Sakura who would hunt down Centipede.

But now it is replaced by future Yuhi Kurenai and Hanekawa.

Three thousand words.
