Namikaze Minato didn't understand what Haruki meant, but the confidence in his words was obvious.
Could it be?
He was extremely smart, and he quickly thought that Haruki's confidence was either because he had someone to rely on, or because he had ninjas secretly protecting him.
But he prefers the latter.
Because Haruki is one of the two jewels of Konoha.
Medical ninjas are quite rare.
Tsunade once formulated three principles to protect medical ninjas.
Simply put, no matter what situation we encounter, we must ensure that the medical ninja is the last to die.
This is even more true in a war.
Medical ninjas will not be allowed to go to dangerous places.
Namikaze Minato took a deep breath and asked: "Teacher, is there someone protecting us?"
Haruki shook his head and said: "Without protection, even the Hokage-sama doesn't know that I'm going out on a mission, so how can I get protection?"
Namikaze Minato's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The first two years were the most intense period of war between Konoha Village and Sunagakure Village.
Originally, they wanted to finish the battle in one battle under the leadership of the Third Kazekage, who is known as the strongest Kazekage, and the two siblings Chiyo and Ebizo, but they could not win for a long time, so they could only turn to the current local war.
Although the situation has eased, Sunagakure Village is still the enemy.
One can imagine what happened to him and Haruki.
Qingshu didn't explain either.
He couldn't help but smile when he saw the sand ninja moving forward cautiously.
The visitors were not afraid of his strength, but worried that he would escape.
In the past few years, even though he has not killed a single Suna ninja, his role is no less than that of any jounin.
Many Konoha ninjas who should have died were saved by him.
"Don't worry, the teacher won't harm you."
Qingshu's calm voice rang in his ears.
Namikaze Minato felt a little more at ease.
"Teacher, do we want to set a trap?"
"No need to waste time."
Qingshu pointed to the body on the ground and said, "Let's do some more meaningful things during this time, such as going to class."
"..."
Namikaze Minato twitched the corner of his mouth, he realized that Haruki was big-hearted, but this way, he felt safer.
"Do you know why they became bandits?"
Haruki really started class.
Namikaze Minato subconsciously looked towards the base camp which was still burning.
The flames mixed with the tragic scene made people think of the word hell for no reason.
"It's war."
Namikaze Minato thought for a moment and gave his answer.
"Yes, they used to live and work in peace and contentment like us, but the war displaced them. If they couldn't survive, they had no choice but to resist. But they are not ninjas, so they can only attack the civilians who are keeping their peace."
Haruki's eyes were calm and he asked again, "Minato, what do you think is the relationship between the Fire Country and Konoha Village?"
Namikaze Minato hesitated and said: "They should be allies."
ally?
In the original work, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire seemed to be on equal footing with Naruto in the early stage, and even vaguely superior to Naruto, but later he became a ruthless tool man.
When choosing a new Hokage or being asked to give money, they will probably only say the words "Me too" and "I agree".
"To be correct, Konoha is the military organization of the Country of Fire and has a certain degree of independence. The Country of Fire provides economic support to Konoha, and Konoha provides protection to the Country of Fire."
Qingshu followed the script and explained the original explanation.
"Minato, do you think the Hokage should protect the Leaf Village or the Fire Country?"
Namikaze Minato's expression was startled.
He had never considered this issue.
In other words, no ninja would consider such a problem.
The people who died the most in the Second Ninja War were not ninjas, but civilians from the Land of Rain.
But no one cares.
"Both should be protected?"
Namikaze Minato's tone was a little uncertain.
"Protect? What are we protecting? This devastation is the result of our protection?" Qingshu asked.
Namikaze Minato couldn't help but said: "This is not just our Konoha's fault."
"You are right, it is the problem of the whole world."
Haruki looked at the blue sky in the distance and the sand ninja that was gradually approaching.
"Minato, if you become Hokage one day, will you only protect tens of thousands of people in Konoha Village?"
"Of course not."
Namikaze Minato followed his line of sight and could already clearly see the Suna Ninja's face. He suppressed his nervousness and said, "I will also try my best to protect the civilians of the Land of Fire."
"That's it?" Qingshu chuckled, "If you just provide protection, they will still live in poverty. If you want to truly solve the problem, you must do more."
Namikaze Minato's face was a little confused.
His education never told him how to do it.
"There are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of civilians in the Fire Country. They are just like you, but they lack opportunities. If these civilians become ninjas, even the most ordinary genin will set off a storm and form a vast ocean."
Namikaze Minato imagined such a scene and couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
He suddenly understood Qingshu a little bit.
But precisely because of understanding, I felt different emotions of confusion and shock.
He also quickly realized how difficult it was, it was even more troublesome than becoming Hokage.
"Shh." Qingshu raised his index finger and said with a smile, "Today's class is over."
With a flash of white light, a dozen ninjas from Sunagakure Village surrounded them.
"Master Haruki, long time no see. You may never have imagined that you would fall into my hands, right?"
The leader of the Sand Ninja looked proud, catching him was a great achievement, "Do you still remember me?"
Qingshu thought for a moment, raised his head, and suddenly realized.
"Oh, I remembered, you are the guy who fought against Konoha White Fang and ended up being chopped half to death."
The Sand Ninja leader's smile suddenly froze.
He said angrily: "Asshole, Arimura Nobu! My name is Arimura Nobu, the person who killed you today!"
Qingshu said calmly: "Why should we remember people who are about to die?"
"Hmph! It's hard to talk when death is imminent."
Arimura Nobu took a deep breath, his expression changed like a Sichuan opera, and he laughed suddenly, "I want to see if your other parts are so hard today?"
After he finished speaking, a group of people also laughed.
Qingshu remained unmoved.
When You Cunxin saw that he had no reaction, he suddenly felt that he was a fool.
"Stop laughing!"
He waved his hand suddenly to stop the ninja behind him, looked at Haruki and said:
"As expected of the two jewels of Konoha, people who have gone through great storms are still so calm until now. I am somewhat impressed. If you and Princess Tsunade hadn't turned the tide and cracked the poison of Lord Chiyo, you Konoha would have been defeated long ago.
.It’s a pity that such a person died in my hands.”
Haruki was too lazy to talk to him anymore and took out a kunai from his bag.
"Kunai? Are you kidding?"
Arimura Nobu said mockingly, "A medical ninja picked up the kunai. It seems that Haruki-sama is not as calm as you, so let me give you a ride!"
Invisible wind and waves swirl.
A moment.
The huge chakra blew away the remaining wood ash in the bandit camp, and flew into the sky layer by layer.
Namikaze Minato suddenly trembled.
At this moment, he deeply felt the strength of the Jonin opposite him.
Without understanding Qingshu, he couldn't help but feel worried.
"Minato."
Qingshu stood in front of him, his expression unchanged, "Look clearly."
"What?"
Because of the sound of the wind, Minato Namikaze shouted loudly.
Haruki casually raised his hand, and the kunai flew towards the center of the wind pressure.
Arimura Nobu showed a cruel smile.
Wind Escape·Wind Blade!
A-level ninjutsu.
He let go of his hand, and the wind in front of him expanded rapidly in a very exaggerated manner, bursting out with frightening fluctuations.
The transparent wind became countless blades.
But Kunai still passed through the wind curtain.
You Cunxin was slightly startled.
But then he ignored it. Although I don't know why this kunai didn't turn into pieces, Haruki could definitely turn into pieces.
But the next moment.
As if the clouds broke through the sunrise, a white flash of light shot straight into the sky.
Haruki suddenly appeared above the kunai.
Arimura Nobu looked at him without even changing his mind.
The brilliant silver chakra condensed in Qingshu's hand, like a blue star on a summer night, and then hit his head.
The skin breaks open, the bone marrow explodes, and flesh and blood fly.
The kunai turned back again.
The white flash disappeared in a blood mist and appeared in another blood mist.
Minato Namikaze looked at this scene in shock.
Kunai is like a reminder of death.
Death, only death.
In the end, there was only a white flash in his eyes.
Haruki stopped in front of Namikaze Minato, holding a kunai on his index finger. He smiled slightly, without any blood on his body.
