Chapter 101: Kumogakure Is Weak? I Laughed
At the signal of Hatake Sakumo and Nara Shikaku, Namikaze Minato, holding a scroll with the exclusive Hokage seal, walked into the conference room from outside.
"Mr. Shikaku, Lord White Fang, Lord Ryūun!"
Namikaze Minato behaved very humbly.
Although Namikaze Minato had earned the title of Yellow Flash with his Flying Thunder God Technique...
In terms of seniority, as Jiraiya's disciple, Namikaze Minato was just a junior to Aoyama Ryūun.
Although Aoyama Ryūun never cared about this, Namikaze Minato did.
"You're not in Iwagakure, what are you doing here?"
Aoyama Ryūun was somewhat puzzled.
Shouldn't this guy be on the Iwagakure battlefield, responsible for dealing with Iwagakure ninjas together with Jiraiya?
"It's like this!"
With his usual sunny smile, Namikaze Minato handed the scroll in his hand to Aoyama Ryūun.
"It is Lord Hokage's intention to swap missions with Lord Ryūun. I will be responsible for dealing with Kumogakure!"
"Hmm?"
Raising his eyebrows slightly.
Somewhat surprised, but not overly so.
He took the scroll and read it.
Three minutes later, Aoyama Ryūun smiled.
"My goodness! The old Hokage has quite the plan!"
Aoyama Ryūun was rash but not stupid.
How could he not see...
Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrangement was to let Namikaze Minato take the glory of defeating Kumogakure.
Unfortunately, this group of people underestimated Kumogakure too much.
"Not bad, Namikaze Minato. To think you've been favored by the old Hokage!"
"Lord Ryūun!"
Namikaze Minato's tone was somewhat complex.
Taking away glory that originally belonged to someone else made Namikaze Minato feel embarrassed inside.
But there was no other way.
Even though Namikaze Minato appeared gentle...
Deep down, he hoped to become Hokage.
To become Hokage, certain achievements were needed.
Namikaze Minato didn't want to give up an achievement like defeating Kumogakure.
"Hahahaha!"
He laughed boisterously.
Anger? Truly none.
"Lord Ryūun! If you..."
Namikaze Minato knew that Aoyama Ryūun was a ninja who never followed the rules.
If Aoyama Ryūun really didn't listen to this transfer order, Namikaze Minato would be helpless.
However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by Aoyama Ryūun waving his hand.
"Nothing to say, this old master agrees!"
"!"
Namikaze Minato was somewhat surprised, but mostly happy.
However, Hatake Sakumo and Nara Shikaku on the side couldn't hold back.
"Lord Ryūun!"
"Ryūun, don't act on impulse!"
The merit of defeating Kumogakure obviously belonged to Aoyama Ryūun.
Now suddenly being snatched away by Namikaze Minato, how could they be happy?
"Rest assured!"
To this, Aoyama Ryūun just smiled and waved his hand.
Wasn't Sarutobi Hiruzen building momentum for Namikaze Minato? Then this old master agrees.
Just right, Aoyama Ryūun also wanted to see...
Whether your mentality can accept such a result in the end.
"It's the same for me whichever battlefield I go to!"
Saying this, Aoyama Ryūun got down from the main seat.
Walking to Hatake Sakumo and Nara Shikaku, he patted each of them on the shoulder.
"Live well!"
These were Aoyama Ryūun's last words.
Then he strode out directly.
As for Namikaze Minato, Aoyama Ryūun didn't even spare him a glance.
Namikaze Minato himself was also clear that such behavior...
Would inevitably lead to some grievances with Aoyama Ryūun.
Namikaze Minato could accept such a result.
Soon, Namikaze Minato, having composed himself, looked at Hatake Sakumo and Nara Shikaku with a smile.
"Lord White Fang, Mr. Shikaku, let us defeat Kumogakure together!"
"..."
These people were all brought out by Aoyama Ryūun.
Facing Namikaze Minato like this...
The fact that they didn't start beating him up directly was already giving face.
"It's all for Konoha!"
Responding indifferently, Hatake Sakumo and Nara Shikaku left the conference room together.
"..."
Namikaze Minato was somewhat awkward.
But fortunately, Namikaze Minato had anticipated such a situation long ago.
So his mindset shifted quickly.
"Sorry, I must become Hokage!"
For the dream of Hokage, Namikaze Minato...
Had to say sorry in his heart.
...
On Aoyama Ryūun's side, without wasting much time, he arrived at the Iwagakure battlefield.
Ninjas led by Jiraiya and Hyuga Hiashi...
Had already been waiting for a long time.
"Haha! Ryūun, you finally came. I've heard that you simply thrashed that bunch of Kumogakure muscleheads!"
Jiraiya walked towards Aoyama Ryūun laughing loudly.
After all, when they were in the village before...
The relationship between Aoyama Ryūun and Jiraiya was quite good.
"Thank you for this matter. If you need anything in the future, you can find me anytime!"
When he arrived in front of him, Jiraiya said slightly apologetically.
Jiraiya knew about his disciple's matter.
Jiraiya was grateful that Aoyama Ryūun could give up the Kumogakure battlefield.
However, Jiraiya was not a petty person.
While grateful, he also felt guilt towards Aoyama Ryūun in his heart.
After all, this achievement originally belonged to Aoyama Ryūun.
"Nothing to be grateful for. Although I thrashed Kumogakure's high-end combat power, they aren't dead. Whether Namikaze Minato can win against Kumogakure depends on his own ability!"
Aoyama Ryūun was somewhat speechless.
Why does it seem in the eyes of this group of people...
Namikaze Minato can steadily defeat Kumogakure?
Are they this arrogant?
"Hahaha!"
Jiraiya laughed cheerfully. In his words, he was full of confidence in his disciple.
"Rest assured, Minato has learned the Flying Thunder God Technique. Dealing with Kumogakure, there will absolutely be no problem!"
"Then let's wait and see!"
Shrugging, Aoyama Ryūun said no more.
Just right, Aoyama Ryūun also wanted to see, when the ending truly arrives...
Whether these people can bear the result.
