Hikaru Hokage

Chapter 74 Strange milky flavor【4.5K】

"What a surprise, we were just talking about business... ugh..."

"There are so many Jonin here in the village, how can we talk about anything inappropriate?"

This little girl always wants to make big news.

Hino Hikaru covered Kushina's still talkative mouth with one hand while continuing to look into the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and a group of Jonin were analyzing the ongoing war between Kumogakure Village and Iwagakure Village, as well as Kirigakure Village's recent impending moves.

As for Sand Hidden Village...

As early as the Second World War in the Ninja World, Konoha White Fang slaughtered all the young ninjas in Sunagakure Village who could fight.

Now the Third Kazekage didn't know who had killed him before he even left the village.

Discussing opponents like Sunagakure Village who are no longer on the stage will even lower their standing as the number one ninja village in the Konoha ninja world.

"Uh-huh."

Aren't you talking too?

And why does this kid have a strange milky smell on his hands?

Kushina took away Hino Hikaru's hand covering her with a look of disgust.

Finally, he remembered something and grabbed his hand again.

"By the way, let's communicate by writing."

"..."

Feeling the other person's soft little hand moving back and forth in his palm, Hino Hikaru couldn't help but feel a little pain in his balls.

Are you really not afraid of Minato getting jealous if you do this?

Especially since Namikaze Minato is only a window away from them...

However, she had clearly pricked her palm with a kunai before, but now nothing happened.

Not even a scar can be seen...

Worthy of being a member of the Uzumaki clan, worthy of being a jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails.

"itch."

The palm of the hand is a relatively sensitive place, and Hino Hikaru felt that Kushina was a little too careless.

He also replied a word in her hand, semi-rejecting her communication behavior.

"what……"

Kushina laughed for a while and then consciously covered her mouth.

However, she still stubbornly continued to hold Hino Hikari's hand and began a new round of writing and drawing on it.

Like a child who finds a new toy.

-

"Although Kumogakure is still on Iwagakure's side now, based on my understanding of Onoki, he will soon choose to stay in hiding, and may even shamelessly ask for help from our Konoha Village."

"Hokage-sama, in fact, not long ago, the third Tsuchikage sent a distress letter from Hido."

Yuhi Zhenhong handed over a secret letter with a respectful face.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even look at it, he just put it aside.

"We Konoha have never had an alliance with Iwagakure Village. What kind of help can we ask for? Don't forget, they were also invaders of Konoha a few months ago..."

Danzo who was on the side didn't know what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking, so he helped him say the above words.

"Yes."

Yuhi Mahong also felt that she shouldn’t help.

The other jounin had no problem with this either.

"What we have to consider now is that after Kumogakure has defeated Iwagakure, it will launch another attack on Konoha."

After Danzo finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again and talked about what he was really worried about.

"Hokage-sama, according to my previous investigation with Shikaku and Shiwei, Kumogakure Village does not plan to use the army to deal with our Konoha this time, but..."

Namikaze Minato glanced at the secret letter of the Third Tsuchikage that was thrown aside by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then looked at Danzo who was still standing in the center of the room.

He couldn't help but think of what Kushina said to him yesterday - Lord Hokage is actually a sanctimonious hypocrite, and he is as bad as Danzo in his heart.

Of course he did not agree with this statement and only thought that Kushina was temporarily angry.

but now--

It's okay to ignore Iwagakure's plea for help, but he actually allowed Danzo, who almost everyone in the village was shouting to beat, to appear here, and also allowed him to participate in such a major event in the village...

For the first time, Namikaze Minato realized that his understanding of the Third Hokage might not be enough.

"I know that Cloud Hidden Village plans to send a small number of elites and their younger generation of ninjas to destroy our prestige in Konoha. As for whether the army can suppress the situation, it depends on whether their elites can destroy our prestige."

Although a third Raikage died, the younger generation of Kumogakure Village should not be underestimated.

Iwagakure Village has been beaten so hard by Kumogakure that it can't even lift its head.

"So, I called you here just to let you, the younger generation -"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Namikaze Minato, Aburame Shimi, Nara Shikaku and others in front of him.

"Similarly form an elite team to stop the intruders from Yunyin Village."

The main reason is that Konoha's finances can no longer support another war.

Sarutobi Hiruzen preferred to end the fight with Kumogakure in a small-scale conflict.

"..."

It's okay to send Tsunade-sama or Orochimaru, war is not a child's play, why should you care about seniority?

Although he could understand Sarutobi Hiruzen's consideration of forming an elite team, Nara Shikaku still didn't quite understand why there was a special restriction on seniority?

The term younger generation was also mentioned repeatedly…

Ah, so it is.

Nara Shikaku glanced at Namikaze Minato standing opposite him.

The strongest among the young generation in the village is undoubtedly Minato.

It seemed that the rumors in the village that Namikaze Minato would become the Fourth Hokage were not groundless.

In this way, today started with the formation of an elite team, and in fact, the candidate for Hokage has already been selected.

"Shikaku, do you have any suggestions about forming this ninja team?"

While Nara Shikaku was thinking about the true intentions of the Hokage-sama, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also staring at him.

"Suggestion... With all due respect, Hokage-sama, Dingzao and Haiichi are still recovering in the hospital. Many other capable ninjas were also in the war last month... either sacrificed or are still recovering from their injuries. In the village The current combat power is seriously insufficient, and looking at the Kumogakure Village, the team is not only led by the son of the third Raikage who is basically determined to be the next Raikage, but also the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki known as the Killer Bee, in addition to a lot of others A young and capable ninja..."

The sacrifice of the Third Raikage resulted in the Cloud Hidden Village remaining unscathed, and now they are at their most powerful.

And Konoha just wants to rely on these few...

Although Nara Shikaku didn't want to scold him as well, but among the Jonin present, except for Minato, they were basically...not good at taking out trash, but certainly not as good as Kumogakure.

Unless Lord Hokage is willing to promote people from the Uchiha clan, they will just be sent away.

But during this kind of election for Hokage, the Third Hokage probably wouldn't be able to let people from the Uchiha clan join this so-called elite team anyway.

"Well, I also know that the current combat power in the village is quite insufficient, but... there are always more solutions than difficulties."

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen also intended for Uchiha people to join, the previous incident with Danzo and the "truth" recently investigated made him extremely wary of Uchiha.

"Don't underestimate the young people in our village. For example, Kakashi Hatake and Hikaru Hino from Minato's class performed very well in the last war, so the candidates for this time do not have to be selected. As a jounin, as long as you have the ability, everyone can recommend you."

"Lord Hokage, Kakashi... still needs some time to adapt to his eyes. He was also seriously injured in the last battle with Iwagakure."

Although Kakashi now relies on the Sharingan to complete Chidori, an advanced lightning escape ninjutsu, his current shortcomings are also in the Sharingan. In short, Kakashi is not yet familiar with the power and power of the Sharingan. Before the side effects, Namikaze Minato was still not very optimistic about Kakashi.

"Then Hino Hikaru can do it. I heard that during the battle with Iwagakure, he not only personally killed an elite Jonin of the opponent, but also blocked the Tsuchikage's son Huangtu for a period of time..."

Danzo squinted at Namikaze Minato in front of him.

It always felt like Hiruzen was paying more and more attention to this yellow-haired boy recently.

Orochimaru was not even asked whether he would participate in today's meeting.

-

"Obviously I am also a Jonin, but no one mentioned me. Instead, they mentioned you and Kakashi. However, I feel that the old man Danzo didn't have any good intentions when he mentioned you."

Even if she only communicated with her fingers, Kushina still kept banging on Hino Hikari's palm.

"..."

There is a problem when a person like Danzo can be at peace with himself.

However, Hino Hikaru doesn't care what happens to Danzo now. He just wants to grab Kushina's fingers that are moving around in his hand and make her restrain herself.

There are so many things done in his hands, so fast, and he is not a robot, how can he accept them all?

"Also, can the Jinchuuriki of Cloud Hidden Village still go to the battlefield? I can't even complete the mission outside the village..."

"That's a perfect Jinchuuriki, and you're not."

"What is a perfect Jinchuuriki?"

This was the first time Kushina knew about the existence of such jinchūriki.

In her opinion, other Jinchuuriki should be just like her, pitiful people who are feared and hated by everyone.

"I'm not a Jinchuuriki, how could I know?"

Hino Hikaru felt that he had gone a bit far.

"You must know!"

But Kushina was unwilling to let this topic go.

But it just so happened that the current Hokage's office also mentioned something about the perfect Jinchuuriki.

-

"Hino is good at stealth and speed, but not good at frontal combat."

Namikaze Minato continued to retort.

Although he also felt in his heart that Hino Hikaru was indeed a ninja capable enough to fight. Hino Hikaru had performed very well in the battle with Kushina before.

Collect intelligence, find the enemy's weaknesses, and then deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

If it weren't for the limited amount of chakra, Namikaze Minato felt that Hino Hikari might even become a more talented ninja than Kakashi.

But after all, the proposer just now was Danzo.

It was Danzo who had murdered Hino Hikaru before, so he instinctively wanted to refute.

"But he did defeat the Jonin of Iwagakure."

"Why didn't Lord Danzo say that he also defeated everyone in the assessment..."

Namikaze Minato glanced at Aburame Shimi, who was standing next to him, and then continued.

"He defeated the special Jonin you assigned him."

"Nonsense, I don't have the right to arrange the Chuunin examination!"

"Deliberately killing our companions in the village and conducting cruel human experiments on innocent villagers. I think Danzo-sama is not suitable to appear here, let alone participate in such an important combat meeting."

"you……"

Danzo never expected that this yellow-haired boy would dare to say such words to him.

Moreover, after Namikaze Minato said these words expressionlessly, neither Sarutobi Hiruzen nor the other jounin expressed any opinions or views.

Everyone was indifferent, or in other words, acquiesced in Namikaze Minato's accusation of Danzo's crimes.

"Ri Zhan, you..."
