Chapter 222 Konoha's flowers need baptism

Seeing Orochimaru agree, Jiraiya even covered his mouth and snickered.

And winked at Minato.

Sure enough, Minato still has a way to seduce this lazy snake!

Of course, the current situation does not allow Konoha to be overly cheerful.

Before controlling the Jinchuuriki of Takigakure Village, Konoha will be the passive party, while Obito is the active party.

The Konoha family has a great cause and has advantages, but naturally it also has weaknesses.

If Minato was alone, how could he be afraid of Obito, a barefoot man?

"alright."

"Let's talk about the next topic."

Minato took the time to discuss an issue.

As for what I discussed with Jiraiya before, how to "reasonably and legally" annex the Rain Country... not... into Konoha's territory.

This would allow Konoha to further wean itself from economic dependence on the Fire Nation.

Everyone was very surprised after hearing this.

Who would have thought that his seemingly kind-hearted Hokage Minato-san would be so ambitious?

Having just become the Hokage, have you already begun to consider annexing territory and stripping the Fire Nation of control?

OK OK!

Shouldn't this be strongly supported?

They are not afraid of Hokage's ambition, and they even wish that Minato would be more ambitious and annex more land and people!

It is much better than an aging Hokage who is obedient to others but strikes hard at home.

Not to mention making a big cake.

As long as you are a part of Konoha, who wouldn't like it?

They all wish that Konoha's cake gets bigger and bigger so that they can get a piece of it.

"Then who will entrust the management of the Kingdom of Rain to?"

Fugaku asked with burning eyes.

This is a big, lucrative job. Even if you are not greedy for anything, you can still gain a lot of political reputation and additional benefits.

It is very helpful to stabilize Uchiha's voice in Konoha.

Again, he had already given birth to two sons, but Rizu gave birth to a daughter directly.

He was inevitably a little flustered!

"Most matters will be left to Konan, the former ninja of Rain Ninja Village."

"What? Handing it over to the enemy? Isn't that inappropriate?"

"Konan is my former disciple, and I have convinced her. And as a former ninja of the Rain Ninja Village, she is indeed better able to win over and appease the Rain Ninja Village than anyone else in Konoha."

"If something goes wrong with her in the future, I am willing to be the first to take responsibility for it!"

With Jiraiya's support, it was hard for others to say anything.

Anyway, everyone knows that it doesn’t matter who is assigned to manage.

The important thing is that the economic benefits generated by the Rain Country can be fed back to Konoha in the future.

From this point of view, sending a leader who does not belong to Konoha to manage can also reduce some of the fights caused by the distribution of interests.

Is this also Hokage-sama’s intention?

Rizu is still thinking deeply;

Fugaku knew Minato better, and he felt that Minato probably didn't think it was that far away.

"But this Xiaonan was once an enemy."

"Forget it, Jiraiya. Minato, you won't trust her so easily, will you?"

Uncle Snake's reminder made Jiraiya lose his temper.

What do you mean you have no brain?

It makes oneself seem to have forgotten justice and bent the law for personal gain.

Is my dignified Toad Immortal that kind of person?

"Of course I won't be gullible."

"In addition to Xiaonan, the village will also send a group of ninjas to accompany her back to the Rain Ninja Village."

"He is responsible for assisting management and monitoring her."

"In addition, Kakashi, Shisui..."

"exist!"

"ah?"

Kakashi and Shisui, who had been listening, also reacted and quickly agreed.

"The two of you are also responsible for accompanying Xiao Nan back to Yu Ninja Village to closely monitor and record her behavioral characteristics."

"yes!"

Shisui was very excited and agreed loudly and excitedly.

I can finally contribute to the village!

In contrast, Kakashi was a little hesitant. He obviously wanted to go to Takigakure Village and redeem Obito who had turned dark.

"Teacher, I..."

Minato naturally saw through Kakashi's intention, so he said:

"Obito and the mastermind behind it were the Akatsuki organization founded with the Rain Ninja Village as its base some time ago."

"There should be some relevant information left there. I hope you can dig into it."

"Moreover, if they know that Xiaonan has returned to Yu Ninja Village, they may rush to silence him."

"So you also need to do your best to protect Konan, as Konoha's agent in managing the Rain Country."

"Do you understand?"

"yes!"

If you hear a clue that Obito is there, you might even encounter Obito.

Kakashi suddenly felt energetic, his previous depression was gone, and he was immediately full of energy.

I wish I could fly to Yu Ninja Village right now.

"This...could they be too young..."

Fugaku glanced at Shisui, a little worried.

This kid is only nine years old. Is he about to go to the battlefield and perform a high-risk mission in another village?

"If you are younger, it will be easier for you to move around in the Rain Ninja Village."

"I believe they can complete the task!"

Minato said with rare certainty, full of trust in the two of Kakashi.

Fugaku no longer objected to this.

Being able to include Shisui in such a significant future policy and being trained by Minato is a great thing for Uchiha.

It's much better than being pushed to the edge of the village by Konoha F4.

As for our Hyuga Hiashi clan leader, he was still brainstorming frantically, thinking about the young ninjas that the Hyuga clan had not yet reached the right age.

It would be better to quickly insert them in and communicate more with Kakashi and others.

…

Soon, this pre-war supreme meeting ended.

Everyone quickly dispersed and prepared to go.

However, Kakashi and Shisui were left alone by Minato.

"Kakashi, Shisui..."

"This is not a simple mission. In addition to the counterattack of the remaining forces of the Akatsuki organization, the hatred and assassination of the Rain Village itself are also likely to occur."

"During the mission, there will be life-threatening dangers at any time. Do you understand?"

Minato warned seriously.

"Understood, I promise to complete the mission!"

"I will also complete the mission at my death!"

Kakashi and Shisui were both excited and high-spirited.

Minato shook his head and sighed in his heart, seeing that these two chicks did not understand.

But it's not a big problem.

As long as he doesn't act on impulse, Kakashi's current strength is already the first tier under the Kage.

With the assistance of the more rational Shisui, they should not be afraid of assassinations from most of the Rain Ninjas.

As for Obito himself?

Minato knew him very well. When he took away Kakashi's Sharingan last time, he was reluctant to hurt him.

Even if Kakashi met Obito in the Rain Village, he would not die.

Maybe.

He could also use this relationship to maintain the progress of Konoha's transformation and governance of the Rain Country.

This is the real reason why Minato asked Kakashi to carry out this task.

Anyway, Kakashi has little use staying in the village recently, and he is extremely anxious.

It is better to send him to the Rain Village, which can not only train him, but also be safer than staying in Konoha.

As for Shisui?

The future Uchiha genius! Naturally, he must be cultivated as soon as possible.

They are all flowers of Konoha!

They need to experience a little rain and dew, and the baptism of the storm, and finally they can thrive!

…

"By the way. Kakashi, you should also study this thing carefully."

Minato handed over a scroll.

Kakashi took it and opened it, and was immediately surprised:

"What is this?"

"The secret ninjutsu of the Land of Lightning: "Lightning Chakra Mode", also known as "Lightning Armor"!"

"It's this secret technique! Teacher, how did you get it?"

Kakashi was overjoyed. This is the secret technique of the Hidden Cloud Village, and only the successive Raikages are qualified to practice it.

Once learned, you can wrap powerful lightning around your body for attack or defense, and you can also gain extremely fast movement speed and strong damage-free ability. It can be called the strongest ninjutsu!

"Of course I got it from the Hidden Cloud Village."

Minato didn't elaborate. This was actually given to him by Lord Tobirama of the No. 2 Ninja World.

It was also one of the gains from his destruction of the Hidden Cloud Village.

It's just right for Kakashi to practice.

Minato, who has a faster and more defensive Kurama mode, naturally doesn't need this Lightning Armor.

But Kakashi, who is proficient in and already good at Lightning Release, is a perfect match.

Once mastered, it will be enough for Kakashi to easily enter the level of Kage!

In addition to the exchange of information, the exchange of various knowledge and ninjutsu is also one of the great advantages of the parallel ninja worlds!

"Teacher, you..."

Kakashi was very moved, and imagined the teacher's silent care and dedication to him.

Even, the teacher might have killed the Fourth Raikage just for himself?

"Practice well. After mastering the "Lightning Release Chakra Mode", you can also improve your dynamic vision and reaction speed to a certain extent. It is likely to make up for the lack of Sharingan, allowing you to master [Raikiri] more perfectly."

"I know you are eager for more powerful power, but you must not abandon your ninjutsu in order to gain power!"

Minato patted Kakashi and encouraged warmly.

Before, due to a series of changes in the Three Wars and the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he really didn't have much energy to take care of and guide Kakashi.

But it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about his disciples.

Like Kushina, Minato has always treated Kakashi and the other two as his own children.

This time, he escaped the fate of an accidental tragic death.

Naturally, he had to let Kakashi return to the right path and not let him fall into negativity alone.

"Teacher, thank you!"

Kakashi's eyes were red and he bowed solemnly to thank him.

Shisui beside him was quite envious. He also wanted to have such a teacher!

"Okay, you guys go and get ready."

"We will leave early tomorrow morning. Remember to pay attention to your own safety."

"Yes!"

"Oh! By the way, remember to go to Orochimaru before you leave. He said he can help you transplant a normal eye. It is not good to fight with one eye all the time."

"Ah? This..."

Kakashi's legs softened. He felt that the snake uncle's laboratory was more terrifying than hell.

He didn't want to go!

…
