Chapter 337 Arriving in Kyoto

"Well, my illusion skills are quite average, but after I got the spiritual transformation technique you gave me, I immediately studied it. I think I gained something!"

"Besides, that Sharingan was also transplanted by Danzo. Maybe it couldn't bring out the true power of the Sharingan."

Kakugi laughed and brushed off the topic.

"Really? Then I'll take a closer look at the spiritual transformation technique later. It really enhances mental power immediately!"

However, Minato believed what Kazugi said. After all, it was quite impressive to be able to enhance his mental power to the point where he could rebound the Sharingan Genjutsu.

"You?" Kakugi glanced sideways at Minato and said, "With your speed, others will already be dead when they see you. How can they have time to use illusions on you?"

"Haha!" Minato touched his head and said nothing more.

While Minato and Kakugi were talking, the rest of the ninjas gathered consciously, and Shiranui Genma took Danzo's right arm and gave it to Minato.

Minato sealed his right arm in a scroll and carried it while looking at everyone.

After this battle, all members of the Shadow Guard were present, except for Anko Mitarashi, who was seriously injured. ANBU A Squadron lost three ninjas and seriously injured one, all of whom were hit by Danzo's vacuum waves during the Yume Tapir's attack.

"Let's take a break for now. Medical Ninja, go treat the injured!" Minato ordered after seeing that it was still early.

"Just call me!" Kakugi patted Minato, then created a shadow clone and walked towards Anko and the injured ANBU respectively.

Minato took a closer look and couldn't help but laugh.

Two medical ninjas assigned to the ANBU squadron died under Danzo's attack. Kakuki was the only one in the Shadow Guards who knew medical ninjutsu.

Minato suddenly realized that this guy Kakugi knew a lot.

Not to mention Ninjutsu, he is also good at swordsmanship in Taijutsu, and he has also learned the Eight Gates of Dunjia.

Although the illusion is average, from the current point of view, the resistance is not low, and it is by no means a shortcoming.

There are also medical ninjutsu, sealing techniques...

Unknowingly, Kakugi has become an all-around shadow-level powerhouse.

It's really reassuring.

On the other side, Cang watched helplessly as Danzo sealed himself, and then took the armor up on the big bird.

When the big bird flew over Minato again, the ANBU ninjas and Shadow Guards all came up with a "hoorah" and stared warily at Ao and Kabuto above.

Minato waved them away and looked at Sora and Kabuto with a smile without making any move.

Aoi and Kabuto jumped down, walked slowly to Minato, and knelt down on one knee.

"Lord Hokage, Ao and Ao from the roots are ordered to come and serve you." Aang lowered his head and said, A did not speak.

"Get up." Minato nodded, looked at Ao and Kabuto's faces seriously and said, "There are no roots anymore, you will be the ninjas of Konoha from now on!"

"Yes!" Cang stood up first, and A followed closely and made the same move.

Their faces were stiff, without any expression or tone, and their movements were as mechanical as machines.

"..." Minato couldn't help but want to scratch his head.

Of these two people, one is a wood escape ninja and the other has good secret skills. They are both very good talents.

It was this brain that seemed to have been washed too clean by Danzo.

Fortunately, Minato asked and they were both young, Ao was only 15 years old and A was only 10 years old.

I'm still young, but I believe that after a period of training, I can still get over it.

"From today on, you are members of my Shadow Guard. Follow me!"

Minato thought for a while, and finally decided to take them with him first, to influence and correct them subtly.

"Yes!"

The two spoke one after another, as stiff as stone.

At this point, Minato's Shadow Guard has officially expanded to nine people.

On the other side, Kakugi and his shadow clones had basically finished treating the injuries of Anko and another wounded person.

Seeing this, Minato said: "Cang, you can use your bird to carry the wounded later, can you do that?"

Cang was startled when he heard this, and for the first time, he showed a hint of emotion.

This was the first time someone asked him for his opinion.

Standing behind Cang, A couldn't help but patted his back when he saw Cang was stunned.

"Yes!" Although it was just a light pat, Cang was instantly startled and said loudly.

His body was straight and his expression was solemn, like a soldier who had been caught doing something wrong.

A hint of distress flashed through Minato's eyes, and the smile on his face became warmer: "Very good, our two wounded will be handed over to you later."

"Yes!" Cang said decisively.

The other ninjas present still looked at Ao with some caution, and Dragonfly even quietly winked at the injured ANBU.

But none of them openly questioned Minato's decision, maybe because they didn't dare, or maybe they were simply convinced by Minato.

After taking a short rest, Minato ordered to continue on their way.

Aang was riding a big bird, carrying Anko and the injured ANBU, and followed the team in the sky.

The team's investigation was still left to two people, Hinata and Dragonfly, who were much more cautious than before.

There was also silence in the team, just silently hurrying on their way.

Fortunately, the rest of the journey went smoothly, and we didn't encounter any enemies again, and everything was calm.

After arriving in Kyoto, several ninjas greeted them outside the gate of Kyoto early, and then led everyone to stay in an elegant hotel.

Only then did Kakugi learn that Konoha also had an "office" in Kyoto.

In order not to arouse the fear of the daimyo and other nobles, the remaining ninjas in the "office" were all older genin, and the leader, Nara Iso, was only a chuunin.

Although these people are not very strong and have little room for improvement, they have a lot of experience in dealing with people and dealing with others. If nothing else, Kakugi has felt a spring-like reception since he arrived at the hotel.

These people are stationed in Kyoto all year round and are relatively familiar with the aristocrats and even daimyo of Kyoto.

The relationship between Konoha and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is well managed. In addition to the performance of "diplomat" Mito Kadobu, these people also play a role that cannot be ignored.

After a night's rest, Minato went out the next day with Kazuoki and Kakashi under the guidance of Nara Iso.

Minato did not go directly to visit the Daimyo. After all, there were still two days before the scheduled meeting with the Daimyo of Fire Country.

Taking advantage of these two days, Minato visited various nobles in Kyoto door to door and became familiar with each other.

Kakugi finally knew why Minato came to Kyoto three days in advance.

When these nobles learned that it was the Fourth Hokage who was coming, they treated each other with courtesy. There was no provocation by foolish nobles.

These visiting nobles were all carefully selected by Iso Nara. Their status and ability could help Konoha, and they were also suitable for the nobles who were visited by Minato, who was the Hokage.
