Chapter 162 Guarding

Hokage Building.

Hokage's office.

"Kakashi cuts the lightning? Interesting."

Minato raised the corners of his mouth and laughed secretly at the report about Kakashi in front of him.

With Minato's intelligence, he could guess the truth in an instant.

It must be that Kakashi was practicing his thunder escape at a high place, which caused the thunder escape chakra to attract lightning and strike down.

"Fortunately nothing happened."

Minato was completely relieved after seeing the report that Kakashi was safe and sound.

However, just because the body is fine does not mean that the mind is fine too.

Minato talked about Kakashi when he was chatting with the Third Hokage a few days ago.

Minato originally thought that Kakashi would be able to forget his inner pain to some extent before inserting Kakashi into the ANBU, but recently he heard rumors about Kakashi's cold blood, and Minato was worried that this would in turn tear Kakashi's psychological trauma.

In this regard, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's suggestion is to appoint Kakashi as Kushina's bodyguard, temporarily stay away from the work of the ANBU, and observe the process of human beings giving birth to new life, which may trigger his touch.

Thinking of this, Minato ordered the guards hiding in the trees outside the window to summon Kakashi.

"Genma, go call Kakashi..."

"And Che."

Outside the window, a young man holding a thousand books in his mouth immediately became serious, half-crouched on the tree and replied: "Yes, Hokage-sama."

With two whooshes, Shiranui Genma left in an instant, much faster than the average ninja.

During the Chunin Exams, Minato had taken a liking to Genma's reaction speed.

Therefore, Genjian was arranged as his bodyguard, along with Mingzu Leitong and Ziyi Washi.

In fact, for Minato, the guard didn't mean much.

It's not that Minato is invincible, but Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique is enough to allow Minato to escape from any dangerous situation.

The three so-called escorts were actually the inheritors of the Flying Thunder God's Technique carefully selected by Minato, and they were considered to be half of Minato's disciples.

Genma quickly found Kakashi and Che and informed them of the news of Minato's summons.

So Kakashi and Che came to the Hokage's office.

Kakashi was wearing an ANBU suit and carrying a ninja sword. He had a serious face under the mask, while Che was wearing casual clothes with his hands in his pockets and a relaxed look.

Minato looked up and saw the completely opposite states of the two white-haired boys in front of him, and couldn't help but said: "Kakashi, you are too tense sometimes, you can learn from Che."

Kakashi looked at Che silently, and Che raised his eyebrows at Kakashi playfully.

Kakashi felt a little aggrieved in his heart. He was obviously a standard ninja. Besides, he was not as strong as Che to easily face the enemy.

But facing Minato's words, Kakashi nodded in agreement.

"I'm not criticizing you, Kakashi."

When Minato saw Kakashi's look, his eyes softened instantly, and then he said in a commanding tone.

"Kakashi, drop all tasks now."

Kakashi said blankly: "Is there something wrong with me?"

"There is no such thing. I have a special task to give you." Minato said with relief, "However, this matter is confidential."

"Kushina is pregnant."

Minato's expression softened involuntarily, his eyes filled with love for Kushina.

Kakashi paused in surprise before giving a dull congratulations.

"Congratulations."

Che also smiled and congratulated on the side.

"Thank you," Minato responded with a smile.

Then Minato became serious and his tone changed.

"However, the energy used for sealing by a female Jinchuuriki during pregnancy will be transferred to the fetus in her belly."

"Therefore, the seal of the tailed beast will be weakened. Based on this, I would like to ask you to be Kushina's bodyguard during the ten months until the birth to protect her."

"Yes." Kakashi lowered his head and said yes, unable to see the expression behind the mask.

However, the tone has already changed.

Kakashi was naturally moved.

Regardless of the fact that Namikaze Minato was here to heal Kakashi's soul through the birth of new life.

Just the fact that Minato entrusted him with such an important task was enough to move Kakashi.

"As for Che."

Minato turned to look at Che, and Che was mentally prepared to protect Kushina.

After all, Kyuubi is a double-edged sword for Konoha, and it will hurt itself if it is not careful.

"You don't need to guard Kushina all the time like Kakashi."

"I just need you as a last resort."

"After all, you are very powerful, enough to suppress the Kyuubi."

Che immediately agreed after hearing the words, and then took the initiative to propose: "I can also apply a enchantment spell to the birthing place to prevent outsiders from entering."

Minato nodded upon hearing this.

"The Jinchūriki's delivery will naturally be handled by the barrier class. However, since it is the barrier technique you proposed, Che, it is probably extraordinary."

"Okay, I will tell you the location of Kushina's birthing site in advance and let you set up the barrier in advance."

The barrier Che mentioned was indeed extraordinary.

To be precise, it is not actually a barrier technique in this world.

It is a special enchantment technique mastered by the magic world, the tent.

The tent can exert different effects, including but not limited to restricted entry and exit, visual blocking effects, natural camouflage, etc.

The tent is usually not used for defense. It is generally used to prevent the warlock's exorcism of cursed spirits from being seen by non-warlocks and to protect the minds of non-warlocks.

But by imposing conditions on the account, you can achieve effects similar to defending or trapping enemies.

And Che is going to make a trust-style tent that has both defense and camouflage effects.

The entrusted account means that the power of the spell is placed on the talisman nail, so Che needs to keep the account running.

"But I haven't used it for a long time. To be precise, I haven't used it since I came to this world."

"You still need to review it in advance and consolidate your field."

"Although my field does no harm, I am still good at catching people."

Che was thinking about it in his mind.

In this way, Kakashi became personally responsible for Kushina's safety. No matter whether it was cold or hot, he was always lurking near Kushina to protect her secretly.

Even if it was already the depth of winter, Kakashi would brave the snow and hide in the nearby streets and alleys to guard Kushina silently when she went shopping.

Che, on the other hand, studied the enchantment technique between missions and successfully regained control of the account and domain.

However, these two skills cannot be used unless there are special circumstances, because fighting techniques and ninjutsu are enough.

Unless it's to protect something.

In the previous life, perhaps it was to protect non-warlocks.

In this life, he was picked up to protect the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Konoha Village, in other words, to protect Konoha.
