When Namikaze Minato saw the two of them, he also had a smile on his face, and first entrusted them with a formal task.
Akimichi Dontō and Inuzuka Jōnin are currently the elite jounin in Konoha. The war is about to begin. According to Nara Shikaku's strategic arrangement, they are about to lead a team and rush to the border of Grass Country.
For Namikaze Minato, they also have a special identity, that is, they were former comrades in the same team.
Before he was promoted to Hokage, when Minato was a Jonin, he often teamed up with the two of them and performed many missions together.
In the previous Ninja World War, whether it was the battle to defeat the Iwa Ninja, or the later battle against Kumogakure, or the battle against the AB brothers, the two of them were all present. It can be said that they are comrades in life and death.
After handing over the task, Inuzuka Jaw immediately enthusiastically invited: "Minato, long time no see. If you are done with your work, let's go have a drink together..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt someone push him behind him.
When he looked back in confusion, Akimichi Tangtou said: "Hokage-sama, we have some private matters, we will wait for you outside."
After saying that, he glanced at Inuzuka with an accusing look, and then pulled him out together.
When Namikaze Minato saw this, he quickly understood what was happening and shook his head with a wry smile.
These two people are still exactly the same as before.
After tidying up, Minato Namikaze was getting ready to get off work and walked outside the Hokage Building.
As soon as he went out, he saw the waiting figures of Inuzuka Jubilee and Akimichi Donto not far from the door. At the same time, the sound of their argument could be heard faintly.
"Jaw, how many times have I told you, Minato is now the fourth generation, and he must address himself as Hokage-sama in public..."
Akimichi Tangtou, nearly two meters tall, stood under the tree, folding his arms and complaining.
Probably knowing that his words and deeds just now were not appropriate, Inuzuka scratched his head and defended, "I was so excited just now that I really forgot about this matter."
"But it's true that the three of us haven't gotten together for more than half a year."
"Tongwan, you haven't seen Minato for a long time, right?"
"Woof!"
Next to Inuzuka's jaw, squatting was a large, slightly ferocious tawny ninja dog, which was very intelligent.
He voiced his agreement with Inuzuka Juchi's words.
Qiu Daotangdong did not refute this matter, because it was also true.
The two of them have been away on missions for a long time. They just returned to the village a while ago when the Nine-Tails Rebellion happened. After finally waiting for the incident to subside, they didn't even have a day or two to spare before they received the order to go to the battlefield again...
"Brother Jaw, Brother Tangdong, I have kept you waiting for a long time."
In the distance, Namikaze Minato's voice came, and the two of them immediately turned their eyes after hearing it.
Then I saw a blond man in a ninja uniform, with a humble smile on his face, just like the team used to meet before each mission.
Before they could make any move, the ninja dog named Tongwan got up and ran over happily.
Shaking his huge body, he prepared to attack Namikaze Minato.
Namikaze Minato, on the other hand, firmly caught Tōmaru's forelimb, and as before, skillfully stopped the embarrassment of having his face licked.
There is no doubt that in the entire Konoha Village, this may be the only dog that dares to try to knock down the Hokage, but it has never been successful...
"Minato, it shouldn't have disturbed you from handling your official duties, right?"
Inuzuka Jaw looked at Toumaru who was frolicking around Namikaze Minato, and said with some embarrassment: "The Hokage must be very busy at work, right? In fact, I just want to invite you out to get together in private..."
On the other side, Akimichi Toto, who was following Inuzuka Jaw, also walked over at this time and said with the same smile: "Because our mission will set off tomorrow, so..."
"I understand, long-awaited team gathering?"
Namikaze Minato smiled warmly and stroked Tongmaru's head, showing no signs of estrangement or avoidance at all.
They were once an elite team, although Minato was the youngest and the captain.
But whether it was Akimichi Dontou or Inuzuka Gin, when they were on the same team in the past, they both treated Minato like his own brother and cared about him. The relationship between the three of them was that of superior and subordinate, and could also be said to be brothers and comrades-in-arms.
For Namikaze Minato, the person who still has such a relationship with him in Konoha at this time is definitely a precious existence.
Needless to say, after graduating from the Ninja School, the members of the team led by Jiraiya had the deepest bond. Even their classmates at the same time had not many left after experiencing the baptism of two Ninja World Wars.
Such is the case in this world with frequent wars.
As a ninja among the five major countries, if you can grow into an elite, you will inevitably face the departure of many people around you as you grow older.
Kakashi once said, all the people I cherish are dead.
It is enough to illustrate this point.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go now."
Minato Namikaze walked forward with a smile, put his arms around their shoulders, and walked towards the busy street in the distance.
Although the young ninja in the team has now become Hokage, the two of them can feel that Minato is still the same Minato. Inuzuka Jaw and Akimichi Donto are still slightly moved by this.
Later, at Inuzuka Gama's suggestion, Akimichi Tōtō treated the guests and chose a barbecue restaurant to sit down...
…
There are many stores in Konoha Village.
The three of them chose a barbecue restaurant that was not very high-end. Since it was early evening, there were a lot of customers.
The arrival of the Fourth Hokage inevitably caused a sensation...
It took more than ten minutes to finally calm down the commotion. Inuzuka Jaw couldn't help complaining: "I should have chosen a store with fewer people..."
Akimichi Tōtō smiled and sighed: "I remember when Minato was still a jounin, he was already very famous."
"Every time we have dinner together, the female clerks in the store will always come around enthusiastically..."
Namikaze Minato, who was placing meat slices on the oven, felt embarrassed when he heard this. This kind of thing did happen, but it was not that exaggerated.
Speaking of being popular, Inuzuka is obviously a little envious.
However, in his opinion, Namikaze Minato's popularity was obviously not just due to fame, but his handsome and sunny appearance, that was the main reason.
Especially when he glanced casually at this moment, he saw that in the far corner, there were still many young women looking at him. When he glanced at Namikaze Minato on the table, he couldn't help but take another big sip of lemon and said: "Yes."
What a welcome welcome.”
"I think I, Inuzuka Jaw, am still the strongest elite ninja of the Inuzuka clan today. Why am I not so popular?"
The reason why I say this is naturally because at the age of 33, he is still single.
The difference with him is that although Akimichi Tangtou is tall and thick like a giant, he has actually been married and had children for a long time.
It is said that his son will be able to enroll in the ninja school in a year or two...
