The task assigned to them by Namikaze Minato was naturally to go to Tian Country and secretly inquire whether Orochimaru had an underground experimental base.
Because Orochimaru will stay in Konoha for a short time at this time, it is the best opportunity to verify the evidence that he secretly conducted human experiments. If the experimental evidence can be found, perhaps he can threaten him before he is exposed.
He stopped experimenting.
At this time, Orochimaru was the one who was ambitious and pursued immortality.
Namikaze Minato's move was to make a bet after finding the evidence to see if he really cares about the foundation of Konoha. Even if he still has a trace of feelings for Konoha, he can restrain his behavior that violates ethics and morals.
manner.
When Kirikaku and Taka heard that they were asked to secretly track down the traces left by Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, in Tian Country, they were slightly startled and full of confusion.
But the Anbu's mission made them quickly put aside their doubts and follow the order.
Both of them are experienced ANBU, and Kirikaku is one of the few people with the most seniority in the ANBU at this time. Although Taka is younger, he was also the captain of the fourth division under the direct control of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The reason why they were sent there was a decision made by Namikaze Minato after careful consideration.
Anbu are very different from ordinary ninjas. Compared with strength, what matters more is experience. Secretly searching for Orochimaru's experimental base is not something ordinary ninjas can do. They are probably the only ANBU members at this time.
The two of them are the most suitable.
After gradually coming back to his senses, Namikaze Minato looked out the window and saw that it was almost evening.
The rain had eased a lot now, and more and more villagers were walking with umbrellas on the street. If he wasn't busy at work, he would have wanted to go out and get some fresh air.
Sitting on the seat and stretching his limbs, Namikaze Minato suddenly remembered the scroll of the Three Elements Sealing Formation that had been in the drawer for almost two days, and the training scroll related to Myojin Gate, and couldn't help but sigh.
Every day, I can't even find time to practice seriously.
It's really not easy to be Hokage...
Just as he was getting ready to get off work, there was a sudden knock on the door outside his office.
Minato Namikaze sat upright in his seat quickly, and after regaining his composure, he called the people outside the door to come in.
"Lord Hokage..."
A Konoha ninja wearing a white cloak bowed respectfully after entering the door, and then took off his hood, revealing a delicate face with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"It's Riune... What's the matter with coming here at this time?" From the main seat, Namikaze Minato asked with a warm smile.
Almost like in his previous life, Namikaze Minato was very resistant to things like working overtime for no reason.
Especially when you are about to get off work and are delayed by other things.
Although he had only been in this world for three days, he always felt that the position of Hokage was not much different from that of ordinary office workers. Maybe if the ninja war did not break out and the Hokage did not need to go to the battlefield in person, the position of Hokage would be
People without great strength can do the job as long as they have some brains.
Sure enough, even the Hokage is essentially just a working man...
When Liyin heard this, she hesitated for a while, as if she didn't know what to say.
When Minato Namikaze saw that Rione didn't answer for a while, he immediately understood something. He patted the back of his head and said suddenly: "Is it for the reform plan of the Three Elements Sealing Formation?"
"Sorry, sorry, that hasn't been completed yet..."
Recalling that before, after he took a rough look at the scroll of the Three-Yuan Sealing Formation, he boasted that the transformation would be completed in two or three days. However, he did not expect that after taking it back, he would never have time to take it out and look at it.
So when I saw Liyin coming to ask in person, I felt a little embarrassed.
But what he didn't expect was that Liyin didn't come for this.
"Hokage-sama, I didn't come here for the transformation of the Three Elements Sealing Formation..." Seeing that Namikaze Minato had obviously misunderstood something, Rione hurriedly explained.
Seeing the latter's confused look after hearing this, Liyin's eyes became a little more embarrassed, and then she finally explained her purpose.
"It seems that you have forgotten that today's routine seal inspection... has not been carried out yet..."
The seal inspection is of course to inspect the four-image seal of the Kyuubi. This task was apparently assigned to the barrier class by Danzo and the two advisors, but it didn't mean much at all.
To put it bluntly, once the Nine-Tails in Namikaze Minato goes berserk, it is basically impossible for the entire sealing team to have any effective means to deal with it.
This meaningless arrangement was naturally made by Danzo.
Namikaze Minato had specifically proposed to cancel the matter after the last meeting, but he did not expect that Danzo and the advisory group had surprisingly unified opinions on this matter. They considered the importance of the dual identities of Hokage and Jinchuriki to the village.
Because of this, it is required to know the status of the seal in his body every day.
After thinking about it, this request seems to be extremely normal.
As a senior executive, how can you not pay attention to whether the seals of the jinchuriki and the tailed beasts are stable?
This also resulted in Liyin's daily routine inspection turning into an errand.
"Don't worry, there is nothing unusual today..." Namikaze Minato responded perfunctorily while sorting the documents on the table as usual.
All he wants now is to get off work as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Rione had a hint of disappointment in her eyes. She had a strong thirst for knowledge, but she was actually very interested in the Jinchuuriki's sealing technique.
According to her character, if the jinchuriki's identity were changed to another person, I'm afraid she would force the seal to be inspected no matter what...
Minato Namikaze arranged the table in a hurry, and when he looked up, he found that Rione was still standing where he was, and was slightly startled.
Then he smiled helplessly and asked again: "Is there anything else? Captain Liyin."
Liyin originally wanted to leave, but after holding it in for a long time, she finally couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "Hokage-sama, is there really nothing wrong with the Jinchūriki seal on your body?"
"I heard that it is difficult for a Jinchūriki without a special physique not to be affected by the power of tailed beasts..."
After doing this for a long time, this woman's curiosity came over again.
Namikaze Minato felt helpless. In order to get rid of him quickly, he didn't care about anything and answered truthfully: "Speaking of influence, there is actually some."
"When I am mentally sleepy or overtired, the Nine-Tails' chakra will erode my consciousness, but for me, this impact can be easily dealt with."
"...Really? Such a Kyuubi is too despicable..."
After Liyin heard this, she was obviously surprised.
According to general experience, most tailed beasts will take the opportunity to erode the will of the jinchuriki's body when the jinchuriki is angry or out of control, and then turn into a tailed beast and go on a rampage.
But the characteristics of the nine tails in Namikaze Minato's body are obviously somewhat different.
This was something he only discovered in the past two days. Since the last time he cared about time and space, he was driven out by Yin Jiuwei in a sneak attack, and he has never entered it rashly again.
Instead, he chose to immerse himself in it, study and understand the sealing technique of the first generation, and then directly fight with it.
Defeat the Yin Nine-Tails in one fell swoop, and then master the Nine-Tails' chakra mode.
