Early the next morning, Uchihara woke up next to Hyugazo and found out.
All the members of the ANBU team, except herself, had dark circles. It seemed that something terrible happened last night, which could make both jounin and chuunin sleepless.
After briefly dealing with the traces of the camp, the team rushed back towards Konoha. Naturally, they encountered a lot of troubles along the way. But when those troublemakers saw clearly the ANBU team's Konoha forehead protectors, they took the initiative to retreat.
"Why are these bandits so disrespectful when I'm on a mission?"
Hinata Zou sighed.
Uchibo looked at Hyugazo with side eyes. That was because when they encountered bandits, they always adopted the attitude of striking first to gain the upper hand. They robbed the rich and gave to the poor against bandits and bandits.
After spending a few days, the team successfully returned to Konoha.
Without being blocked, the ANBU team entered the Hokage's office in the building and met the Third Hokage, who was taking care of everything...
Wait...it doesn't seem to be the Sandaime, but the very fast man.
The Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato!
Hinata Zang rubbed his eyes, a little unbelievable.
He was forced to join ANBU and went on his first mission. When he came back, he told me that he was a different Hokage?
Where did the Third Hokage like me go? I just ran to the Council of Advisors and Elders.
However, the fourth generation Hokage, played by Namikaze Minato, seems to be good too.
At least Asuma can't do whatever he wants with his status as the Hokage's son!
Secretly glancing at Asuma, the smile on Hinata Zou's face was even stronger, even more fascinating than Namikaze Minato.
Namikaze Minato, who was the first Hokage, took the mission briefing handed over by his disciple and read it carefully.
When he saw the team encountering the ninja swordsmen, Minato's expression changed. He was afraid that he would be unable to rescue his disciples like before.
But when he saw the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost and was killed by a team of four, a smile appeared on his face again.
Looking at Kakashi and others, there was a little more approval in his eyes.
In the report, Kakashi recorded everything truthfully and told everything he had experienced these days.
Including Hyugazo's contribution to defeating the puffer fish, as well as his previous remarks about escaping, plus some personal opinions.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Namikaze Minato looked at his only remaining disciple for a long time, feeling relieved in his heart.
Before and after the mission, Kakashi's mental outlook improved to a certain extent. It seems that teaming up with those two people helped Kakashi step out of the shadows.
Maybe after some time, he will be able to hide the past in his heart and welcome a better future.
It seems that in the future, we will have to let them perform their tasks.
Namikaze Minato thought like this and made an arrangement in his heart.
Although he is the Fourth Hokage of the village and should treat every villager selflessly, he still has selfish motives in his heart and will secretly use some power to help his disciples get out of the shadows faster.
Furthermore, Kakashi is still young and a member of Konoha's future, with huge potential.
"Hinata Zou, the big sword Samehada is in your hands, right?"
After pondering for a moment, Namikaze Minato looked at Hinata Zang with a smile and said: "That should be one of Kirigakure's seven ninja swords. If it is taken away, the village will be under pressure from Kirigakure."
"Master Yondaime, that is my trophy!"
After calming down, Hyugazo adjusted his state and said: "Even if the village wants it, it has to pay. The ninja sword is worth a lot of money, at least 10 million!"
Namikaze Minato smiled and looked at Hinata Zou, it seemed that it was the same as what Kakashi said in the briefing.
Although Hinata Zou is an outstanding ninja, his character is extremely money-loving and cautious, which makes him seem a bit weird.
However, the fact that Hinata and Uchiha were able to form a team together for three years seemed strange in itself.
"No need!"
Namikaze Minato crossed his fingers and held his chin, "Kirigakure plundered the coast of the Land of Fire, and it was his own fault that the Ninja Sword was taken away. You are right, this Ninja Sword is your trophy."
"As for Kirigakure, they can put pressure on them if they want, just to question them about plundering the coast..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hinata Zou felt much better towards the fourth generation, at least he seemed more cordial than the third generation of the old fox.
If he were a third-generation old man, he might still have to argue a lot.
After hesitating for a while, Hinata took a step forward and said: "Yondaime-sama, I may not be suitable for the ANBU position. I want to stay as a teacher at the Ninja School again. The students there need me..."
"Me too." Uchibo stretched out his hand and walked over.
Namikaze Minato smiled and said nothing, without much reaction, looking at the mask on Hinata Zou and Yin's face.
Tanuki and black cats are both very cunning animals.
Thumb, thump...
In the silent office, the only sound that could be heard was Minato Namikaze's fingers tapping on the table.
"Leave the ANBU and be transferred back to the Ninja School as a teacher?"
Hmm...Hyugazo and Uchibo came over with hope.
The Yondaime is so great, so he should be able to satisfy their small and humble wishes. It would be even better if they could become genin.
However, the next sentence made Yin and Zang feel like they were struck by lightning.
"Those are impossible. You have always been a non-staff teacher at the Ninja School, but you are also a member of the ANBU."
Smiling, Namikaze Minato glanced meaningfully at Hinata Zou and Uchiha, "However, if you face pressure from the family in the future, I can help."
"Thank you Yondaime-sama!"
Hyugazo's tone was a little perfunctory, and he guessed that the fourth generation must have been talking about the caged bird.
Uchibo, however, thought of more. He glanced at Hinata Zang expectantly and lowered his head slightly.
With a wave of his hand, Namikaze Minato signaled the ANBU team to retreat and wait for the next mission to arrive.
The frequency of ANBU missions is much lower than that of ordinary ninjas, but every mission is extremely dangerous.
Compared with other ninjas, the advantage of ANBU ninjas is that they have more opportunities to acquire ninjutsu and the rapid improvement in their status in the village.
Shortly after the ANBU team left, the office door was opened again.
The third generation, no longer wearing the Hokage hat, walked in. He had been eavesdropping openly in the room next to him just now.
After taking over the position of Hokage this month, he did not officially retire, but assisted the fourth generation as an advisory elder.
The Hokage must discuss all major matters in the village with the advisors and elders.
"Sandaime-sama..." Namikaze Minato was about to stand up, but the Sandaime looked at him and told him to sit down.
"Yondaime, you are the Hokage now. I am just a retired old man. I don't need to be as restrained as before."
"Sandaime-sama, you will always be someone I respect." Namikaze Minato said.
"As an old man, I am very satisfied to be treated like this." Sandai grinned.
Minato Namikaze smiled and talked about what happened just now, "Hyugazo and Uchibo are indeed just like the Third Generation, they are very cunning."
"Of course, they are all cunning brats... but they are surprisingly reliable!" Sandai stroked his beard.
It was he who revealed the previous experiences of Hyugazo and Uchibo to the fourth generation.
