The change in title seemed to mean that Minato's attitude had become more helpful. Nonoyu took a deep breath, recalled the rumors coming from the capital, tried his best to restrain his trembling heart, and replied calmly:
"No more than a month at most, I will definitely come back."
After receiving a clear reply, Minato let go of his hand, then bowed slightly to Nonou and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Sister Nonoyu, I was rude just now."
"It's okay, it would be great if you could help."
Smiling gently at Minato, Nonoyu seemed not to want to waste even a second. He nodded at Kushina, turned around and left the Hokage's office quickly.
In the empty corridor, only the clicking sound of high heels hitting the ground was left, which first became more and more intensive, then became weaker and weaker, and soon returned to calm.
Obviously, Nonoyu has gone far.
In the Hokage's office, Minato and Kushina looked at each other for a while. After a while, Kushina reacted first. She saw her face full of gossip, poked Minato's side with her elbow, and whispered:
"Hey, Minato, do you feel something's wrong?"
Inadvertently glancing at Kushina, looking at his girlfriend's excited and searching eyes, Minato spread his hands helplessly and replied:
"Maybe it's an emotional issue. To be honest, this is the first time in my memory that Ms. Nonoyu's character has behaved like this."
"Tell me, could it be that your teacher is having an affair?"
Perhaps Kushina's words were too straightforward, and Minato couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He looked helplessly at his girlfriend who had a look of determination on her face, grinned with toothache, and quickly waved his hands, giving a conclusion.
:
"Okay, Kushina, stop guessing and hurry up and help me handle the documents."
Seeing that Minato avoided the topic in silence, he ran behind the desk in three steps and sat down on the Hokage's chair. Kushina curled her lips, the spirit of gossip dissipated a little, and walked over as well.
.
There were not too many documents on the table, and they were very different from the first few years when Lei Luo took office. Minato felt that this might be related to the teacher's continuous promotion of important subordinates and the gradual delegation of power to talented ninjas.
Like Hinata Tamaki, Uzumaki Makoto, Fugaku, Shikaku, Nasuki, Jiraiya, Tsunade, including myself, Konoha's famous masters now hold a power that cannot be underestimated and share the worries of Hokage.
The most important thing is that after several years of experience, the leaders of all parties have become familiar with the work at hand, and their office efficiency has naturally increased. Things that they did not understand before and needed to ask the Hokage for instructions can now be handled by themselves in accordance with national strategies.
.
Like Minato Namikaze, since he followed Rai Luo, he first carried out extremely difficult assassination missions, and then spent a long time in the Ninja Army system. After Lei Luo became Hokage, he worked in the Secretariat and intelligence
I have stayed at the base, and occasionally visit the base...
With such a resume, he only needs to understand the Constitution of the Land of Fire as soon as possible, clarify his own powers, and strictly implement Konoha's general development strategy. There is no problem in leaving the rest to his subordinates.
After so many years of training at the grassroots, middle and high levels, the heir to Hokage naturally has the ability to manage the village. If Nonoyu hands him the position of acting as Hokage, there will definitely be no trouble.
Speaking of which, after the changes of the times and the close integration of the Fire Country regime and the ninja forces, the meaning given to the title of Hokage has become more and more complex, which ultimately led to today's Hokage, whose work content is different from that of previous generations of Hokage.
Fundamental differences.
The more Minato dealt with the documents at hand, the more he realized the existence of this difference:
There are a lot less things going on in the village, traditional ninja tasks have almost disappeared, and there are not many foreign matters. Most of the information in the documents is concentrated in the Land of Fire, and it is mainly related to national policies.
In other words, there are either projects here that require Konoha to produce ninjas, or there is a military region there that needs Konoha to increase the number of instructors and step up training for a new batch of ninjas who have passed the third generation chakra reagent.
Today's Konoha is like the heart of the Land of Fire, constantly delivering a large amount of blood called ninja and ninjutsu knowledge and education to the whole country, allowing the entire country to run with vigor.
In short, after the conclusion of the First Five-Year Plan, the Second Five-Year Plan has been quietly rolled out, and is being carried out in conjunction with the national level.
The Prime Minister and the Hokage are connected, the government and the military are separated from each other but integrated with each other, jointly executing the will of the country, executing the direction instructions of the Supreme Prime Minister, and being responsible to the Congress. This is generally the situation in Konoha today.
And this situation has also derived some things...
In the heart of Konoha, where the security department is stationed.
In the large and spacious training hall, bright incandescent lights emitted from the ceiling enveloped the entire venue. Various training equipment were placed around it. The ninjas of the security department were either exercising to build up their strength, or sparring in pairs.
The scene was once noisy and lively.
There is also a ring set up in the center of the training hall. It is a cube in shape and has an area of about two hundred square meters. The surface is made of gray-white metal, which seems to show the strength of the ring invisibly.
At this moment, there were two ninjas, a man and a woman, fighting each other rapidly in the ring. Their fists and kicks were going back and forth, which was dazzling and caused the onlookers to exclaim from time to time.
Bang bang bang bang...
The wind roared, and Kakashi quickly raised his right arm to protect his face, and then a heavy punch struck him. After a brief body collision, the boy felt his arm go numb, and a huge force suddenly spread throughout his body.
He frowned slightly, stepped back, and performed a backflip to open a distance of five meters. After releasing the incoming force, Kakashi took a breath and realized that subsequent attacks were not coming one after another. He raised his head and squinted.
He raised his eyes and stared at the blond woman in green robe not far away.
"Kid, if it's only to this extent, I advise you to admit defeat as soon as possible, so as not to be seriously injured and hospitalized later!"
A confident shout came, with a faint smile of victory. Kakashi looked at the woman's raised arms, clenched right fist, and fluttering green cloak. For a moment, he felt extremely tricky.
.
Today's opponents are different from those in the past.
If you want to win, physical combat won't work.
I guess you need to use some brains.
Only taijutsu is allowed in the taijutsu arena. Using any ninjutsu is considered cheating. Even ninjutsu such as strange power and eight gates of armor are illegal.
Just now... was Tsunade really that powerful, or was she just using a little bit of strange power? What angle should I use for my next move to bring down Tsunade?
On the other side, realizing that Kakashi was not responding, Tsunade felt impatient, and immediately decided to show off a little more strength, defeat Kakashi as soon as possible, get her honor, and...win the gamble.
