Hikaru Hokage

Obito's attitude towards admitting his mistake was quite correct.

"It was Kushina-sister who enlightened Obito later."

In order to increase Hino Hikaru's trust in this apology, Nohara Lin briefly explained the development of yesterday's events.

"It is the most painful thing for those who see their companions die with their own eyes, Kushina-sama said so, so yesterday... I am really sorry!"

Obito bowed his head again.

"Do not……"

Will Uzumaki Kushina enlighten Obito like this?

Although it sounds reasonable, but...

Hino Hikaru always feels like laughing.

"What surprises me is not that you will apologize, but that you are not late today?"

If I remember correctly, Obito in the original novel should be late today.

This was what surprised Hikaru at first.

Has the world line begun to change?

"I……"

Uchiha Obito scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It seems that the rumors are indeed not credible."

Hino Hikaru smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Um……"

After being stunned for a second, Obito reluctantly grasped Hino Hikaru's extended palm.

"The rumors are indeed unbelievable. How could I be late every time I go on a mission?"

Even he knew that Hino Hikari's action of reaching out represented forgiveness.

And he also understood the connotation of what he just said.

"With soil..."

"It's a shame that you can say such things without changing your name."

At this time, even Nohara Rin and Kakashi couldn't help but smile.

"Welcome to join us, Hikaru Hino."

After seeing Hino Hikaru accepting Obito's apology, Namikaze Minato also sent his greetings seriously.

-

"That brat Onoki is really boring."

somewhere underground.

After listening to the information from Black Zetsu coming from the ground that a large-scale war broke out in the Ninja world, the already old Madara Uchiha slightly raised his eyelids.

"But wars always seem to be started by boring guys like this."

Boring, childish, and timid, this is Uchiha Madara's evaluation of Onoki, the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village.

"Where is the Uchiha brat I chose now?"

"They are already on their way to the mission, and are probably almost at the border area of ​​the Fire Country now."

"I don't have much time. After I die, I'll leave the rest of the plan to you."

Uchiha Madara looked at his "clone"——

Hei Zetsu's whole body was pitch black.

"Understood, my master."

Black Zetsu replied respectfully.

-

"From today on, Kakashi is a true Jonin. Due to Konoha's current serious lack of combat power, and in order to improve the efficiency of completing tasks, we will now be divided into two groups, Lin, Obito and Hino. The three of you will form a new action team with Kakashi as the captain, and I will be alone."

"It's incredible that someone like Kakashi can actually become a Jonin..."

As soon as Namikaze Minato finished speaking, Obito started to complain somewhat unhappily.

"I'm also surprised that you became a chuunin."

Kakashi responded mercilessly.

"I represent the elite Uchiha clan. Sooner or later I will surpass you. After I open my Sharingan, you will know what the gap is!"

"Even if you don't rely on the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan are all elites, right? On the contrary, even if you have a Sharingan, it probably won't be of much use."

"What did you say!?"

"Really, stop arguing..."

Seeing that the two companions were beginning to "fight" again, Nohara Lin quickly ran between them.

“We are already close to the national border, so you’d better be careful.”

Although it is quite fun to watch the disciples having fun, you still have to be serious when the mission should be serious.

Especially now that we are almost entering the dangerous area where we will fight the ninjas of Iwagakure Village.

Namikaze Minato reminded everyone while spreading the map on a nearby stone.

"This is the current offensive line of the Earth Kingdom invasion, and their advance has arrived..."

"The battle front has actually advanced much further than before?"

Looking at the map and the enemy's current advance, even Obito exclaimed.

"Yes, the current situation is quite critical. After sending you to the Country of Grass, I have to rush to the frontline battlefield immediately."

"The enemy's advance is so smooth, which means their rear support is in place, right?"

Nohara Lin also began to understand the importance of their mission.

"Yes, so the only bridge in this place, the Kannabi Bridge, is our mission target, and when a large number of ninjas are sent to the front line, it is completely feasible for a few elite ninjas to sneak in to complete the task of hindering the enemy. "

It's just that the danger is quite high...

Even now that he has set out, Namikaze Minato will still be worried about several of his disciples.

"Infiltration mission?"

Kakashi was also a little nervous, after all, it was his first time as captain.

"Well, Kakashi, the goal of your team is to sneak behind the enemy, find the Kannabi Bridge, destroy the bridge used by the enemy to transport materials, and then evacuate quickly."

"Yes!"

But Kakashi's desire to achieve merit is far greater than his current nervousness.

So his current mood is probably a little more excited.

"If you want to blow up the bridge, you need to use the detonating charm, right?"

There are no "nuclear bomb" ninjas here. It's not easy to blow up a thousand-meter bridge.

Hino Hikaru was also initially puzzled as to why a bridge would impede ninjas until he discovered the size of the bridge.

The ninjutsu of ordinary ninjas cannot repair such a bridge.

"I have it in my backpack."

Namikaze Minato pointed to his bag.

"After you complete your infiltration, I will find a way to join you and complete the bridge bombing mission at that time."

"I see."

Sure enough, the one who ultimately defended the bottom line was Namikaze Minato.

Hino Hikaru's doubts were finally resolved.

"Anyway, Kakashi is the captain now. I will be with you until we reach the Country of Grass, and then we will split up."

Namikaze Minato said as he took out a special kunai from his pocket and handed it to Kakashi.

"Today is a very important day for Kakashi, so this is a congratulatory gift. I hope you will find it useful."

"Thank you."

Kakashi accepted the teacher's kindness.

"This is the gift I prepared, Kakashi."

Nohara Lin also took out the gift she had prepared long ago, an emergency medical kit.

She put a lot of effort into it.

Kakashi also nodded his thanks, and then extended his hand to Obito, who was watching the show.

"What's the meaning……"

Seeing Kakashi's hand reaching out to ask for a gift, Obito felt a little embarrassed, but he still kept a straight face as he was unwilling to bow his head in front of Kakashi.

"I-I don't have a gift for you!"

"Oh, I didn't expect anything from you anyway."

Kakashi shrugged nonchalantly.

"You guy..."

Obito gritted his teeth, but after all, he was in the wrong, and it was hard for him to say anything more.

"Um, do you need a gift from me?"

Looking at the happy Minato class in front of him, Hino Hikaru suddenly became interested in getting involved.

"what gift?"

Kakashi saw that Hino Hikari's hands were still empty.

"A piece of advice and a story, but I'll save the story for later. Let me tell you the advice first."

"advice?"

Not only Kakashi, but also Obito looked over curiously.

"Well, the advice is - after defeating the enemy, don't forget to do the last hit."

"That's it?"

Kakashi was quite boring.

He thought that this insignificant ninja would say something useful.

For example, related to his father.

"Okay, the mission officially begins now, everyone cheer up, we are going to cross the border to the Country of Grass!"

Seeing that the gifts had been given out, Namikaze Minato once again seriously reminded everyone not to let down their guard.

Because ahead——

He had sensed that enemy reconnaissance ninjas were approaching in their direction.

Chapter 20 No matter how you look at it, you will be destroyed by the group.

"I really envy these chakra-rich ninjas."

After a moment's awareness, Hino Hikaru also discovered the ninja ambushing ahead——

More than 20 chakras that give the same feeling.

There is no doubt that it is a shadow clone.

But a ninja who can create so many shadow clones at once is already at the level of a jounin in terms of chakra volume.

However, with the yellow flash around him, Hino Hikaru thought for a moment and still didn't pull out his ninja sword from behind, but just took a kunai in his hand as a precaution.
