Chapter 159

Chiba and Uzumaki Kushina had only been together for a few days when Chiba was urgently summoned to the Hokage Building by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

When Chiba arrived at the Hokage Building, she found that in addition to Sarutobi Hiruzen, there were also Namikaze Minato, Danzo, and even Konoha's two major advisors, Utatane Koharu and Mitomon Homura, in the Hokage's office. When Sarutobi

Hiruzen saw Chiba coming, he said seriously:"Since Chiba is here, let's get started. Let me explain the current situation to you first. The

Iwagakure ninjas have long been prepared for our counterattack against the Iwagakure ninjas in the Grass Country. Now all the Iwagakure ninjas in the Grass Country have gone to the Rain Country, so our ninja troops in the Grass Country have turned around and pursued them to the Rain Country. However,

Rasa, who has just become the official Fourth Kazekage from the Acting Kazekage, suddenly announced that he would send the Sand Village ninjas to the Rain Country to participate in our battle with the Iwagakure ninjas. The three parties are now in a melee in the Rain Village.

However, the Rock Ninja took advantage of this chaos and secretly dispatched their village's elite jonin, Toushi, to lead 1,000 Rock Ninja troops to launch a surprise attack on the Land of Fire.

Now our frontline commander of the Konoha defense force, Mimura Yeju, is leading our ninjas to resist."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Chiba and Namikaze Minato with a serious expression, and ordered:"Now, Chiba, Minato, you two work together to support Mimura Yeju! And Chiba, Kakashi has been appointed as a jonin and has been sent to Konoha by Orochimaru. He should arrive tonight. You must set out immediately after arriving."

"Yes!"

Outside the Hokage building.

Minato Namikaze smiled and said to Chiyu:"It seems that we will fight side by side again."

Because Minato Namikaze is now Uzumaki Miyuki's lover, although Chiyu dislikes Minato Namikaze, she still has to give Uzumaki Miyuki face and replied reluctantly:"Ah"

"You are still as cold as ever. Then I will gather Obito and the others to go first. We will wait for you outside Konoha Village."

Minato Namikaze smiled and used the body-flash technique to leave the place.

Chiyu returned home and told Kushina Uzumaki that he was going on a mission. Chiyu carried the backpack that Kushina Uzumaki had packed for him, left home, and waited for Kakashi at the gate of Konoha Village.

Two hours later, Chiyu waited for Kakashi who had rushed back to Konoha.

"Teacher Chiba!"

Seeing the current Kakashi, Chiba smiled and said,"Long time no see, Kakashi, I can see that you have become stronger."

Kakashi also smiled:"Lord Orochimaru taught me a lot."

Then Kakashi's expression became serious:"By the way, Teacher Chiba, how is the master's wife?"

The smile on Chiba's face became even bigger.

Seeing Chiba's smile, Kakashi realized that his teacher had succeeded, and he smiled again.

Chiba replied:"The Jinchūriki is no longer Kushina, and the dust has settled. However, this time the attack by the Rock Ninja was too sudden, and there is no time for you to go back to see her." Kakashi nodded and said

,"I know, then I will wait until the mission is completed before going to visit the master's wife."

Chiba put his hand on Kakashi's shoulder:"Let's go, let's go"...

Chiba and Kakashi found Minato Namikaze's team in a forest outside Konoha Village.

However, Minato Namikaze's team only consisted of Rin Nohara and Katsuhiko Takei, but was missing Obito Uchiha.

Minato Namikaze said to Chiba,"Chiba, you're finally here."

Chiba said sarcastically,"Wow, you're pretty fast, but where's that kid with goggles?"

Suddenly, Obito Uchiha suddenly fell from the sky and fell to the ground.

Obito Uchiha sighed,"Finally caught up." Katsuhiko

Takei complained,"Obito, you're late again. This is the umpteenth time. What time do you think we're going to gather?"

"Hi, it's because I met an old lady on the way and asked me for directions....Hey, Kakashi, you are here too!"

Uchiha Obito looked at Kakashi in surprise.

Kakashi pulled the corner of his mouth and said:"I don't want to talk to people who break the rules, and you are lying."

Namikaze Minato smiled and said:"Don't say that, Kakashi, he took the old lady over, Obito, right?"

Obito nodded vigorously:"Yeah, yes, I am telling the truth!"

Kakashi choked Namikaze Minato and said:"Guys who break the rules will be called scum among ninjas, right? Lord Minato." Namikaze

Minato laughed awkwardly twice. Uchiha Obito said unhappily

:"Kakashi, don't you have the feeling of tenderness in your heart? Every time I meet you, you always talk about rules and regulations. It's so annoying. The important thing is self-control, right?"

Nohara Rin persuaded:"Okay, it's rare for us to meet Kakashi, so don't quarrel."

Namikaze Minato said at this time:"By the way, Kakashi has been a senior ninja like me and Chiyu from today."

"What?!"

Uchiha Obito, Nohara Rin and Takei Katsuhiko all looked at Kakashi in shock.

They were all Genin, but Kakashi was already a Jonin.

Namikaze Minato suggested to Chiyu,"Since Kakashi is already a Jonin, for the sake of mission efficiency, we should act separately from them and let Kakashi lead the team, right?"

Chiyu thought about it and felt that Namikaze Minato’s suggestion was indeed reasonable. The two of them were the fastest and could get to the front line faster.

Chiyu nodded and agreed,"Okay." Uchiha

Obito asked in confusion,"What does Kakashi leading the team mean?"

Namikaze Minato analyzed,"Konoha is now unprecedentedly short of combat power, so Kakashi is the captain, and he forms a group with Obito, Rin and Katsuhiko, and Chiyu and I will be in a group."

Minato Namikaze took out a Flying Thunder God Kunai and handed it to Kakashi.

Kakashi looked at Minato Namikaze in confusion.

Minato Namikaze explained:"You have been promoted to Jonin, this is a gift for you. Although it is heavier than ordinary kunai, it is of very good quality and better than ordinary kunai."

Kakashi frowned and looked at Chiyu.

Chiyu said:"Since he wants to give it to you, just accept it."

Kakashi took the Flying Thunder God Kunai from Minato Namikaze and said"thank you". Nohara

Rin suddenly rummaged in her backpack, took out a small box and handed it to Kakashi:"I happened to bring this, so I'll take it as a gift. This is a personal medical kit, all of which have been improved and are very useful."

Kakashi took the personal medical kit and said"thank you".

Katsuhiko Takei was not familiar with Kakashi, so he did not give him a gift.

Uchiha Obito said dissatisfiedly:"Hey, Kakashi, don't you want to ask me what gift I gave you?"

Kakashi said coldly:"It doesn't matter, it won't be a good thing anyway, useless things are a burden."

Kakashi's words made Uchiha Obito's face turn red.
