Starting the fourth generation Hokage

When Namikaze Minato saw the two of them, he also had a smile on his face, and first entrusted them with a formal task.

Akimichi Dontō and Inuzuka Paladin are currently the elite Jonin in Konoha. The war is about to begin. According to Nara Shikaku's strategic arrangement, they are about to lead a team and rush to the border of Grass Country.

For Namikaze Minato, they also have a special identity, that is, they were former comrades in the same team.

Before he was promoted to Hokage, Minato often teamed up with the two during his Jonin period and performed many missions together.

In the previous ninja wars, whether it was the battle to defeat the Iwa ninja, or the later battle against Kumogakure, or the battle against the AB brothers, the two of them were all present. It can be said that they are comrades in life and death.

After handing over the task, Inuzuka Paladin immediately invited warmly: "Minato, long time no see. If you are done with your work, let's go have a drink together..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt someone push him behind him.

When he looked back in confusion, Akimichi Tangtou said: "Hokage-sama, there are some private matters, we will wait for you outside."

After saying that, he glanced at Inuzuka Paladin reproachfully, and then pulled him out together.

Seeing this, Namikaze Minato quickly understood what was happening, and shook his head with a wry smile.

These two people are still exactly the same as before.

After tidying up, Namikaze Minato was ready to get off work and walked outside the Hokage Building.

As soon as he went out, he saw the waiting figures of Inuzuka Paladin and Akimichi Donto not far from the door, and at the same time, the sound of their argument could be heard faintly.

"Nana, how many times have I told you, Minato is now the fourth generation, and he must address himself as Hokage-sama in public..."

Qiu Daodong was nearly two meters tall. He stood under the tree, folding his arms and complaining.

Probably knowing that his words and deeds just now were not appropriate, Inuzuka scratched his head and defended, "I was so excited just now that I really forgot about this matter."

"But it's true that the three of us haven't gotten together for more than half a year."

"Tongwan, you haven't seen Minato for a long time, right?"

"Woof!"

Next to Inuzuka Paladin, squatting was a large, slightly ferocious tawny ninja dog, very intelligent.

He expressed his agreement with Inuzuka Paladin's words.

Qiu Daotangdong did not refute this matter, because it was also true.

The two of them have been away on missions for a long time. When they returned to the village a while ago, the Nine-Tails Rebellion happened. After finally waiting for the incident to subside, I didn't even have a day or two to spare before I received the order to go to the battlefield again...

"Brother Ya, Brother Tangtong, I've kept you waiting for a long time."

In the distance, Namikaze Minato's voice came, and the two immediately turned their eyes after hearing it.

Then I saw a blond man wearing a ninja uniform, with a humble smile, just like the team used to meet before each mission.

Before they could make any move, the ninja dog named Tongwan got up and ran over happily.

Shaking his huge body, he prepared to pounce on Namikaze Minato.

Namikaze Minato, on the other hand, firmly caught Tongmaru's forelimb, and as before, skillfully stopped the embarrassment of having his face licked.

There is no doubt that in the entire Konoha Village, this may be the only dog ​​that dares to try to knock down the Hokage, but it has never been successful...

"Minato, I shouldn't have disturbed you from your official duties, right?"

Inuzuka Paladin looked at Toumaru who was circling around Namikaze Minato and said with some embarrassment: "The Hokage must be very busy at work, right? In fact, I just want to invite you out to get together in private..."

On the other side, Akimichi Donato, who was following Inuzuka Palato, also walked over and said with the same smile: "Because our mission will set off tomorrow, so..."

"I understand, long-awaited team gathering?"

Namikaze Minato smiled warmly and stroked Tongmaru's head, showing no signs of estrangement or avoidance at all.

They were once an elite team, even though Minato was the youngest and the captain.

But whether it was Akimichi Dontou or Inuzuka Paladin, when they were on the same team in the past, they both treated Minato like their own younger brother and cared about him. The relationship between the three of them is not only that of superiors and subordinates, but also that of brothers and comrades-in-arms.

For Namikaze Minato, the person who still has such a relationship with him in Konoha at this time is definitely a precious existence.

Needless to say, after graduating from the Ninja School, Jiraiya led the team, the members of the team with the deepest bond. Even his classmates at the same time had very few left after experiencing the baptism of two ninja wars.

This is the case in this world with frequent wars.

As a ninja among the five major countries, if you can grow into an elite, you will inevitably face the departure of many people around you as you grow older.

Kakashi once said, the people I cherish are all dead.

Suffice it to say.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go now."

Minato Namikaze walked forward with a smile, put his arms around their shoulders, and walked towards the busy street in the distance.

Although the young ninja in the team has now become Hokage, the two of them can feel that Minato is still the same Minato. Inuzuka Paladin and Akimichi Donato are still slightly moved by this.

Later, at Inuzuka Pala's suggestion, Akimichi Toto hosted the guests and chose a barbecue restaurant to sit down...

…

There are many stores in Konoha Village.

The three of them chose a barbecue restaurant that was not very high-end. Since it was early evening, there were a lot of customers.

The arrival of the Fourth Hokage inevitably caused a sensation...

After it took more than ten minutes to finally calm down the shock, Inuzuka couldn't help complaining: "I should have chosen a store with fewer people..."

Akimichi Tōtō smiled and sighed: "I remember when Minato was still a jounin, he was already very famous."

"Every time we have a dinner party, the female clerk in the store will always come around enthusiastically."

Namikaze Minato, who was placing meat slices on the oven, felt embarrassed when he heard this. This kind of thing did happen, but it was not that exaggerated.

Speaking of being popular, Inuzuka Paladin is obviously a little envious.

However, in his opinion, Namikaze Minato's popularity was obviously not just due to fame, but his handsome and sunny appearance, that was the main reason.

Especially when he glanced casually at this moment, he saw that in the far corner, there were still many young women's eyes. When he cast his eyes on Namikaze Minato on the table, he couldn't help but take another big mouthful of lemon and said, "Sure." What a welcome.”

"I think I, Inuzuka Paladin, am still the strongest elite ninja of the Inuzuka clan today. Why am I not so popular?"

The reason why I say this is naturally because at the age of 33, he is still single.

The difference with him is that although Akimichi Dontō is tall and thick like a giant, he has actually been married and had children for a long time.

It is said that his son will be able to enroll in the ninja school in a year or two...
