Nara Shikaku nodded solemnly, and then sat back in his seat. The specific personnel transfer will not be implemented until the meeting is over.
At this time, after glancing at the people with different expressions on the conference table, Namikaze Minato tried to find some flaws in Danzo's expressionless face, but the Pot King had half of his face covered, and most of the time only his left side was exposed.
His eyes are slightly squinted, and coupled with his cunning and cunning character, it is really difficult for people to see the clues...
Even so, when he thought about the subsequent death of Hizashi, Namikaze Minato hesitated. After a long time, he decided to follow what he had in mind and wait until he personally verified Kumogakure's truth before considering whether to increase the number of troops.
Thinking of this, he pondered and said: "Wait a minute, Captain Shikaku, I think we should delay the dispatch of additional troops to the front line of Grassland..."
…
…
Night time.
In the Hokage Building, the main body, Namikaze Minato, returned from Mt. Myoboku in a somewhat depressed mood.
Recently, the practice of immortality has obviously entered a bottleneck period. It is true that it is not that easy to reach the ultimate realm of immortality.
You know, Namikaze Minato's talent for physical training is by no means mediocre. But even so, he actually faintly felt that the barrier on the road to the extreme realm of practicing senjutsu made it difficult for him.
A sense of transcendence.
Perhaps, this is the shackles of bloodline...
Sighing slightly in his heart, after sending Toad Rhino away, Namikaze Minato suddenly found a graceful figure standing next to the desk, and couldn't help but be slightly startled.
"Lord Hokage, you are finally back."
This female ninja, who was wearing a black robe and an Anbu mask, immediately said respectfully after seeing Namikaze Minato appear.
After thinking for a moment, Minato Namikaze finally remembered that this woman dressed as an ANBU was the pharmacist Nonou who he deliberately kept by his side without assigning any combat missions.
However, every morning he went directly to Mt. Miaomu in his original form, leaving behind a photo of his clone working in the office.
So when Nonoyu appeared here, his identity was somewhat unclear.
Because up to now, his shadow clone has not been released. The appearance of Yakushi Noonoyu here is probably an arrangement made by the shadow clone Minato for her.
The main body, Namikaze Minato, opened his mouth and was about to say something.
In a certain room in the Hokage building, in the conference hall, the shadow clone Minato finally ended the meeting. At this time, he noticed that the handover time had already passed, so he immediately canceled it after Danzo, the advisor and others left.
The technique turns into smoke.
At the same moment, the main body Namikaze Minato immediately received all the information that the shadow clone experienced today.
This information also includes the work arrangements for pharmacist Nonoyu today.
When Minato Namikaze received the experience and information of the shadow clone, he was also accompanied by a sense of fatigue. After all, this was the only drawback of the auxiliary ninjutsu of the shadow clone.
"...Thank you for your hard work, Qing."
When he learned from the shadow clone that he had arranged to handle simple government documents for Nonoyu, he suddenly felt dumbfounded.
As an ANBU, there's not much you can do if you avoid dangerous combat missions.
Especially since it is still wartime, there are basically no missions that do not require combat. Three of the four ANBU units under his command have been sent out of the village at this time, either patrolling the border or participating in special combat missions.
Therefore, it is indeed not easy to arrange some work for Nonoyu that does not require fighting...
Returning to his seat, Minato Namikaze casually flipped through the pile of documents handled by Nonou today, and found that all of them were completed very well. Perhaps because he had experience in espionage, he was very interested in information.
Pharmacist Nonoyu seems to be very handy and talented in handling documents.
"Today's work was done very well. I didn't expect you to be so comfortable with this kind of clerical job for the first time."
"Then I'll leave it to you tomorrow..."
Namikaze Minato was very satisfied with the work that Nonoyu had completed today, and he raised his head and smiled in approval.
However, the pharmacist Nonoyu under the mask looked stunned and hesitated to speak.
After a pause, he finally couldn't help but asked cautiously: "Does Hokage-sama want me to continue doing this kind of clerical job tomorrow?"
Namikaze Minato didn't think much and nodded.
"Lord Hokage, I heard that on the front line of Grass Country, the Iwa Ninja and Konoha are in a state of anxiety.
The remaining teams 2, 3 and 4 have all been dispatched outside the village to perform war-related tasks. Are there no combat tasks that I need to be dispatched to perform? "
After hesitating for a long time, pharmacist Nonoyu finally asked the doubts in his heart.
The tasks Minato Namikaze had assigned to him during this period were a bit too comfortable for the ANBU position. In fact, even clerical jobs were tried for her today...
This made her feel confused.
"Well, there are no such tasks for the time being..."
Minato Namikaze, who was sitting on the seat, felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Nonoyu said.
He could only smile and say perfunctorily.
Although he was separated by a mask, he could still feel that the eyes Nonoyu was looking at him at this time were definitely full of confusion and incomprehension. Sure enough, such a different arrangement of tasks for her would sooner or later be noticed by her.
arrive.
Under such circumstances, he couldn't say that he deliberately didn't arrange dangerous tasks for her in order to tie Kabuto tightly, right?
Thinking like this, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but change the topic quickly, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest early..."
"...Yes, Hokage-sama."
In his heart, Namikaze Minato's words obviously did not dispel Nonou's confusion.
But since Lord Hokage said this, of course she couldn't question it.
After bowing, pharmacist Nonoyu quickly left.
In the office, Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Nonou leaving.
This is not going to work. It seems that sooner or later, we have to find a way to find a reason for Yakushi Nonoyu to work peacefully as a civilian and stay away from dangerous combat missions.
After cleaning up the desktop casually, Minato Namikaze was about to leave the Hokage's office and go home from get off work.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the office door.
Namikaze Minato, who had just stood up and left his seat, felt helpless. If nothing else happened, today would probably be another day of overtime work...
Namikaze Minato, who had already begun to get used to this kind of situation, had no choice but to sit back again.
After regaining his composure, he immediately called the people outside the door to enter.
What surprised him was that the person who came in was Nara Shikaku, who had just left the meeting.
After Shikaku entered the office, he looked up and saw Minato Namikaze on his seat, but he scratched the back of his head and said with an apologetic smile: "Hokage-sama, I'm really sorry to bother you so late."
"But I have some doubts about what happened at the meeting this afternoon, so I want to discuss it with you..."
