Minato Namikaze looked a bit embarrassed.
He thought his smile might not be super handsome, but at least it was good - looking.
Every time that fiery red - haired girl got angry, when she saw his handsome smile, she couldn't bear to slap him.
Why did he always feel that Satoru Hyūga's expression was a bit strange?
Satoru Hyūga hesitated for a moment and then returned an awkward but polite smile.
"Oh, so you're Kakashi's instructor Jonin? Never heard of you before!"
Just like that, the two got acquainted.
"Yeah, the war has broken out. The Hokage was worried that you might be in danger in the Grass Country, so he sent me to pick you up."
Minato Namikaze's face looked solemn.
"The Hokage is holding a meeting to deal with the war. Since you've just come back from the Grass Country and have first - hand information, if you go back now, you might still be able to make it in time."
"By the way, I forgot to tell you."
"I have a forbidden ninjutsu called Flying Thunder God. I can instantly return to Konoha. But there was no mark of mine in the Grass Country, so I had to come here on foot."
After saying that, he grabbed Satoru Hyūga's forearm and told him,
"Take a deep breath first and get ready."
"Okay."
With a swish.
The two disappeared from the grassland.
A gentle breeze blew by, gently swaying the grass.
It was like falling from a very tall building. Satoru Hyūga suddenly stepped on the ground and staggered forward a step, then appeared in a room.
Is this the feeling of spatial teleportation using the Flying Thunder God?
It felt a bit like bungee jumping. Fortunately, his stomach was empty. Otherwise, it would have been embarrassing to throw up.
Satoru Hyūga looked a bit curious as he carefully recalled the feeling just now.
"Satoru, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Seeing that Satoru Hyūga was okay, Minato Namikaze was a little surprised.
This long - distance spatial movement was beyond what an ordinary person could endure. He recalled that when he first used the Flying Thunder God for spatial teleportation, he vomited for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, his face turned red.
He was so used to space - traveling that he unconsciously returned to his bedroom. There were still some photos of Kushina strewn messily on the bed, and Satoru Hyūga was staring at them intently.
"Ah! I'm really sorry!"
Minato Namikaze immediately rushed over and lifted the quilt to cover those photos on the bed.
Satoru Hyūga couldn't help but click his tongue a few times.
"Satoru, do you want to take a rest? The Hokage is waiting for you."
Minato Namikaze blushed and said.
"No, let's go to the Hokage right away. The war is more important than anything else."
The Hokage Building.
The conference room.
There was a huge long table in the middle. The high - level officials of Konoha were sitting around it, all with very serious expressions.
At the top of the long table, Hiruzen Sarutobi crossed his hands under his chin and said in a deep voice,
"According to the information from the scouts, the main force of Iwagakure has arrived in the Grass Country. It seems that the war is inevitable."
"Humph!"
"Iwagakure has gotten bold, huh. Have they forgotten the lessons from the Second Great Ninja War?"
The person speaking had thick bandages Coiling Around his arm, with only one eye showing, a hint of cold - bloodedness in it.
It was none other than the shadow of the dark side of the ninja world, Tanzō!
"If it were just Iwagakure alone, we wouldn't need to worry too much."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a breath and spoke.
"According to the latest intelligence, the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure has been missing for a long time, and the newly appointed Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, has also declared war on Konoha."
"It seems that we'll be facing threats from two major ninja villages at the same time."
Hearing this news, most people in The conference room fell silent.
Facing two major ninja villages at the same time was a great pressure even for Konoha.
Just then, the door of The conference room was pushed open.
Minato Namikaze scratched his head awkwardly and walked in with Satoru Hyūga.
"Sorry, I'm late."
"Ah! It's Minato. You're finally here."
Hiruzen Sarutobi showed a smile.
"And Satoru is back safely too. That's great. Find a seat and sit down."
Minato Namikaze led Satoru Hyūga to a seat at the back and sat down.
Satoru Hyūga curiously sized up the ninjas sitting at the long table.
There were Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, the clan leaders of various major ninja clans, as well as Jiraiya and Tsunade of the Sannin.
After Orochimaru noticed his gaze, he gave him a slight smile.
Suddenly, Satoru Hyūga felt a cold gaze.
He turned his head and saw Tanzō.
Come to think of it, this should be the first time he's meeting this famous Tanzō, the shadow of the dark side.
Satoru Hyūga thought to himself.
The other person's gaze was not friendly, filled with sizing - up and scrutiny.
He probably didn't approach him before because of his status as a member of the branch family. Now, he wondered what the other was thinking.
Satoru Hyūga returned a cold look.
If it were before, he might have been worried about Tanzō's pressure.
But now, with Electromagnetic Force Level 4, if Tanzō really didn't know any better, he wouldn't mind building a Golden Gate Bridge.
Anyway, the shadow of the dark side is quite good at blowing up bridges.
Hiruzen Sarutobi continued his slow narration, his face looking a bit grim.
Minato Namikaze also talked about his experiences in the Land of Lightning.
Before this, he had fought against the AB brothers of Kumogakure several times. He was recalled by the Hokage because of the approaching army of Iwa ninjas.
It seemed that, apart from Kirigakure, which was still staying out of the fight across the sea, the other three ninja villages had all joined the conflict.
Satoru Hyūga showed a strange expression.
He didn't expect that, with his help, his good brother Rasa still became the Kazekage.
Calculating the time, it seemed that it was exactly when the Third Kazekage was killed by Scorpion during the period when he had tricked Kakuzu in the underground black market.
He wondered if Rasa's luck was good or bad.
After the situation analysis was completed, Hiruzen Sarutobi began to prepare for the confrontation.
He roared in a deep voice.
"On the Iwa ninjas battlefield, Tanzō and Jiraiya will lead 4,000 ninja into battle. On the Sand ninja battlefield, Orochimaru, you'll be in charge, leading 3,000 ninja. Tsunade, as the captain of the Medic Corps, will be responsible for backup matters."
After he finished speaking, the ninja whose names were called immediately responded calmly.
Except for Tsunade, who looked dejected and responded weakly.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed silently.
Tsunade developed hematophobia during the Second Great Ninja War and hasn't been cured yet. Even if she went to the battlefield, she could only be in charge of backup management.
Such a top - level combatant couldn't be fully employed.
Moreover, the number of ninja sent to the Sand ninja battlefield was smaller.
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and turned his gaze to Minato Namikaze and Satoru Hyūga.
"Minato, you'll go to the Sand ninja battlefield with Satoru for now. I'll send someone else to Kumogakure."
"Yes." Although he didn't know the Hokage's intention, Minato still replied in a deep voice.
Satoru Hyūga's eyes lit up slightly.
Hiruzen Sarutobi deliberately sent him and Minato Namikaze to the Sand ninja battlefield at the same time. He must want them to work together.
A combination of the Flying Thunder God technique and the magnetic storm sniper rifle?
Is the sneaky player going to use infinite blinks?
Satoru Hyūga's mouth curled up ever so slightly without a trace.
It seems it's time to find an opportunity to get the Flying Thunder God.
