From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 88 I Won't Give You to Others (1w1)

By the time Sawara Kiri finished processing the remaining documents, the sun was already setting.

Even though there were only a handful of documents, in this age without computers, all the various paper logistic statistics lists and other data had to be compared one by one by the human eye.

It was not until then that Sawara Kiri roughly guessed that Orochimaru must have piled all the most troublesome tasks on him at that time.

"Really."

"You are such a grown-up, yet you still bother with a minor like me."

He muttered a few words to himself.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion which was requisitioned as a combat camp, he wandered around Platycodon City twice. This city, which had entered a wartime state, no longer had a normal business environment. Only some brave merchants gathered from all over with trucks to sell food and sundries in the outer city area.

Naturally, there were spies among those people.

However, the large-scale war environment in each ninja village is like this. Without a dedicated logistics force and overall management department, they can only rely on money to purchase from various places, and the price is very expensive.

Sawara Kiri bought a basket of fruit from the merchants in the outer city, and also caught a thief who had obvious traces of chakra in his body.

After handing him over to the patrol unit, he walked towards the wounded ninja rest area behind the north city.

"Minato, I'm here to see you."

Sawara Kiri walked into the room with an apple in her hand and placed it on the bedside table.

"do you feel better now?"

Minato Namikaze was lying on the hospital bed, his face still as pale as could be seen.

Seeing that it was Wu Jun who came in, she unconsciously smiled with relief and waved at him:

"Mist-kun."

"The doctor said that I need to continue to rest for a while to recover my mental energy. I may have some difficulty in moving."

After saying this, he hesitated for a moment, and like a good kid who accidentally did something bad, he asked cautiously, "Did Lord Orochimaru succeed?"

Sahara Kiri waved his hand nonchalantly: "Of course, after all, it's the three of us who jointly testified."

"Although it looks a little strange, I don't think I'll investigate further."

He lied without changing his expression.

Upon hearing this, Minato-kun heaved a long sigh of relief.

Minato Namikaze, who has dreamed of becoming Hokage since he was a child, is not a good boy in the traditional sense. From the range of his friends, it can be seen that he also has some little thoughts of his own.

However, from the fact that he was recognized as a disciple by Jiraiya and chosen by Sarutobi Hiruzen as the next Hokage, it can be seen that Namikaze Minato was absolutely obedient to traditional class concepts and the orders of superiors and subordinates among ninjas.

It was hard for him to imagine tampering with the battle report like what happened today.

It was not until Sawara Kiri asked him sincerely that he reluctantly agreed.

"but."

Namikaze Minato looked at him in confusion: "Mist-kun, why do you have to hide your strength?"

If it was before, Minato could still understand it, after all, the village did owe him some treatment at that time.

But after becoming a jonin, all the treatment Sawara Kiri received was up to standard.

If Kiri-kun was still brooding over past sufferings, Minato felt that as a friend, he had to fulfill his responsibility and give him some advice.

He thought so.

However, Sawara Kiri's answer made him stunned.

“Because it’s inappropriate.”

Namikaze Minato raised his head and looked at him in confusion.

Sahara Kiri sat on the bed by herself, picked up the kunai on the bedside, and slowly peeled an apple: "Minato, what do you think a very powerful ninja means to the village?"

"Of course."

He subconsciously wanted to answer "It is a very powerful help."

However, Sawara Kiri interrupted in advance:

"Think about it carefully."

Minato then stopped talking and looked a little thoughtful.

He is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is very smart, both as a ninja and as a simple person.

He is actually very clear about the relationship between his identity, responsibilities and obligations.

Now, he is the disciple of Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, the lover of Kushina, the only Jinchūriki of Konoha, and the closest friend of Choza Akimichi, Shiwei Aburame, and Jaguar Inuzuka.
This series of identities are like dense nodes, connecting to each other to form a network, forming a circle of relationships called the 'Hokage family'.

As a commoner without any bloodline, he is in a key position that connects the past and the future.

Because of this, his talents can be nurtured, his gifts are allowed to be released, and he can get the corresponding resources whenever he needs them.

Flying Thunder God Technique is an S-level secret technique. Although this secret technique is famous for its difficulty, there are countless talented people of similar age as him throughout Konoha. Is it really true that no one can master it?

It's just that I'm not qualified.

So, what if he doesn't have these qualifications but has this talent?
Almost subconsciously, he thought of Hatake Sakumo, who relied on his own swordsmanship and had almost no resources to support him, but independently grew into one of the pillars of Konoha.

So what kind of position is Hatake Sakumo in now?
"."

Minato Namikaze was lying on the hospital bed.

His brows, which were originally relaxed, gradually tightened as he thought about it.

"Mr. Wu, are you worried?"

Minato turned his head and suddenly wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.

With his current status and network of relationships, no matter what he said to Mr. Wu, it seemed to be of no use. Instead, it vaguely implied that he was ignorant of the sufferings of the world.

However, Sawara Kiri pretended not to care and stretched out a finger to block in front of him.

"That's pretty much what it means."

The apple in his hand had been peeled neatly, but he didn't pass it to Minato. Instead, he started eating it himself, biting it with a loud crunching sound.

"I haven't grown to my limit yet, but I'm already very strong, so strong that it's a bit embarrassing."

"So occasionally covering up not only provides me with a protective umbrella, but also avoids making things difficult for those above me - it's a win-win move."

"A future Kage-level expert is not the same as a fifteen-year-old Kage-level expert."

Hearing this, Minato Namikaze's brows gradually relaxed. He could understand the difference between them.

A fifteen-year-old shadow-level warrior.

It is almost certain that this person will be the strongest person in the entire Konoha in the future, and may even be a god of the ninja world like Hashirama Senju who can dominate the world.

How can the already stable upper echelons of Konoha deal with this kind of monster?
"Mist-kun, it's not easy for you either."

Thinking of this, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He is obviously the most talented and intelligent person in the village, but he has to hide his own dazzling brilliance.

At this moment, Minato-kun couldn't help but feel sad.

Sahara Kiri was chewing an apple, and seeing him like this, she also felt relieved.

This is probably what they mean when they say a gentleman can be deceived.

Things like this cannot be said by Minato himself, but should be left to guess for himself - people are always more likely to believe in their own conclusions than other people's opinions, isn't it?
However, this is only because his bond with Minato is strong enough.

If it was a stranger, Minato would definitely doubt his motives first.

However, after coming to this conclusion, Minato himself inexplicably lost some spirit. It might be because of his speculations about the bad side of the village, or it might be because he suddenly thought of his own situation.

"If I also have the same talent as Wu Jun, would the village be more likely to accommodate Wu Jun's existence?"

He thought so from the bottom of his heart.

After all, the man named Minato Namikaze was caught up in the network of the Hokage series. As long as he was strong enough, the village would naturally be able to accommodate more power.

Just like the first Hokage back then.

After possessing unparalleled strength that could sweep away the world, what would it matter if he just divided up a few tailed beasts?

Isn’t he still the invincible Hashirama Senju?

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that Minato was a little tired, Sawara Kiri left the ward.

During the time that Minato was resting, their entire team had to stay in Kikyo Castle for a while, which was considered a short holiday between wars.

Wait until the fog leaves the ward.

Minato lay blankly on the bed, still thinking about things related to strength, and raised his hand to look at his palm.

His strength is still too poor.

Whether facing the god-like monsters like before or the huge tailed beasts, the Third Raikage with strong defense was helpless.

"buzz"

Tiny chakra vortices slowly gathered in his palm, forming a tiny Rasengan.

After Wu Jun's suggestion, he already knew that the next step of Rasengan was to further add changes in the nature of chakra to this extreme change in chakra form.

He was born with only three attributes.

Fire, wind, thunder.

Among these three, he is best at wind escape and lightning escape, which are used to accelerate the body.

However, after preliminary experiments, Minato found that if these two attributes were gradually added together without the support of a huge amount of chakra, it would probably only become a half-baked level of technique.

In terms of power and speed, it may not be as good as the 'Flying Thunder God + Rasengan' combination he has created now.

As he was thinking, Minato suddenly thought of Wu-kun's technique. "That technique is called "The Technique of No Limits", right?"

“It’s not a very nice name.”

"but."

Recalling the principles of that technique, he could release a spatial barrier outside the body, as well as complete defense against any physical and chakra attacks, as well as the crimson-purple attack that was like a natural disaster and went straight through Susanoo.

Minato Namikaze began to think instinctively.

"If the space-time escape technique of the Flying Thunder God Technique is also added to the Rasengan."

“Can we achieve that effect?”

"Spatial chakra isn't something that's hard to use. It should be fine, right?"

"Also, the Flying Thunder God Technique requires hand seals, which greatly affects the battle. One hand must be free. If it can be changed to no hand seals, it would be great."

In Minato-kun's head.

Eh!
One of the little men raised a finger.

After leaving Minato's ward, Sawara Kiri walked around the injury ninja area again, visited several colleagues he had met on the battlefield before, and then returned to the barracks.

Jonin is not just a title, but also a responsibility.

Ninjas in this position often not only need to complete their own tasks on the battlefield, but also need to command others to take action.

During the battle with the Sand Village ninjas, the reason why Yamanaka Yuuma from the search team contacted him immediately after being injured was because he was one of the highest-ranking people around.

At the same time, he did not disappoint those who trusted him.

As for Yakushi Nono, after returning with Yamanaka Yuuma and others, he was left in the temporary hospital in the injury ninja area.

During wartime, the places with the greatest shortage of manpower are always the front lines and hospitals.

However, until he finished dinner and went out, Sahara Kiri did not see Uchiha Yayoi, and no one knew where she had gone.

Just as he finished dinner and was about to return to the base from the camp.

His eyes suddenly focused.

Sawara Kiri paused, and as if he hadn't noticed anything, he walked to a secluded spot on the roadside, scanned the area with his "six eyes", casually took out a few grains of rice from his pocket, crushed them and fed them to the crows that were staying on the roadside.

One of the crows hopped a few steps, picked up a grain of rice from his hand, and put one back.

After they had eaten all the food he had spilled, they all flew away in a flash.

Almost at the same time as the flock of crows flew away, the tiny grain of rice was crushed into a ball by his fingertips in his pocket.

However, when he found the right place and read all the words on the paper, he sneered disdainfully, and casually rubbed out a ball of flame, burning the paper roll to ashes.

The words on the scroll were:

"Someone will be sent to replace you soon, please prepare quickly."

"idiot."

Obviously, because someone is not in the position and is not doing his job, has not continued to provide information to the village for a long time, and is not in Konoha, the people of Kirigakure cannot intervene in the front line, so they are a little anxious.

After all, the intelligence he had been sending back to the village continuously over the years was a major source of income for the financially struggling Kirigakure.

The Kirigakure Ninja, having tasted the sweetness, naturally doesn't want to let it go so easily.

'But do those idiots really think anyone can sit in my seat?'

Although it is not obvious, for Sawara Kiri, who has gradually dared to decide his own affiliation after gaining strength and confidence, the identity of Kirigakure has become a purely negative asset for him.

"If we can take advantage of the war to destroy Kirigakure in one fell swoop."

Sawara Kiri thought to himself, but shook his head slightly.

Konoha is now gradually reaching its limits in terms of both finance and manpower.

Passive defense is not that difficult.

But taking the initiative has become impossible.

Nightfall, North City.

Since the commander-in-chief Orochimaru set an example himself, it was also to prevent the assassination team from launching explosive attacks on targeted building targets.

Even though their "Anti-Sagakure Ninja Corps" was stationed in Kikyo Castle, the Konoha ninjas still set up an accommodation camp on the open space outside the northern city area.

Everyone lives in tents.

Sawara Kiri had already gone to bed tonight. The footsteps and light and shadows of the patrol team outside were not unfamiliar to someone like him who had spent some time on the battlefield, and he did not feel disturbed at all.

Just as the night was falling, he suddenly heard a very slight sound of footsteps and faint breathing.

He subconsciously opened his "Six Eyes" and looked outside the tent.

His expression froze.

Miss Yayoi suddenly appeared outside the door at some point, with her fingers crossed behind her back, opening and closing constantly, her lips slightly pursed, and her ponytail, which was always tied high behind her head, also fell loose, as if she was hesitating about something.

Sawara Kiri, who was about to sit up, suddenly froze and continued to lie on the ground.

At the same time, "Six Eyes" carefully looked at the palms of Yayoi's hands behind her back, and confirmed that she was not holding a kunai or a hatchet, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It doesn't seem to be that serious."

"No, actually. Maybe I'm overthinking, right?"

Sawara Kiri suddenly reacted and found that there was something wrong with his preconceived impression.

Ever since he saw Yayoi's final bond route, he subconsciously regarded Yayoi as a yandere who could go berserk at any time.

But in fact, the current Yayoi is still the same as he saw it - usually pretending to be indifferent and arrogant, but occasionally having a little temper in private, and being a person who is easy to get close to others.

Even someone like Tsunade has a "Mature Honey Princess" route, which shows that these messed-up futures tend to be extreme and are not something that will necessarily happen.

Then, it is entirely possible that Uchiha Yayoi becoming a yandere is a low-probability event, right?
After all, they have been friends for almost ten years, from the Ninja School to now. Doesn't he know who Uchiha Yayoi is?
how is this possible.

Thinking this in his heart, Sawara Kiri was about to sit up and go out to explain to her the previous misunderstandings.

However, just as there was a slight noise in his tent, the curtain was lifted by the girl, who strode in without hesitation and squeezed into the narrow space that could barely accommodate one person.

"I'll just say it"

"With Mr. Wu's perception ability, he should have noticed it long ago."

"Yayoi?"

Sahara Kiri was stunned.

Before he could sit up in the narrow tent, he saw Uchiha Yayoi walking in, reaching out his hand, gently pushing his shoulders, pressing him to the ground, and supporting his body with one hand across his neck.

Eyes facing each other.

At this moment, Sawara Kiri's brain began to work rapidly, thinking about what he had done in the past few days after he came back that would cause such a big reaction.

Nothing happened in between?
"It's ok."

In the pitch-black night, the girl's voice was softer and gentler than ever before. She leaned in close to his ear and whispered, "It's just that there are things I just forgot to solve."

In the quiet and narrow tent, Miss Yayoi's scarlet eyes looked extremely charming at this moment.

Three pitch-black magatama slowly rotated on the surface of the girl's pupils like swimming fish.

The distance between them was so close that even their warm breath could brush against their skin, and it seemed that if they moved even the slightest, their noses would collide with each other.

However, from her charming face, one could not detect the slightest abnormal emotion; she was as calm as usual.

The girl placed her fingertips on Sawara Kiri's lips.

"Is this right here?"

"A place polluted by that woman."

"I will help Wu clean it up this time. From now on, Wu must not touch that kind of dirty stuff again."

"Yayoi, I think we might..."

Sawara Kiri opened his mouth with difficulty, wanting to take advantage of this last chance to make a few excuses.

But he had only got half of his words out.

The girl suddenly bowed her head.

The sudden attack of the intruder immediately made him unable to make any sound.

The extremely deep, yet clumsy feeling of repression and entanglement made him feel a little suffocated, and his eyes widened.

The whole tent fell into deathly silence.

After a long time, Miss Yayoi slowly stood up. Her already charming scarlet eyes seemed to become even more dazzling under the nourishment of this satisfied emotion.

The girl grabbed Sawara Kiri's collar, the magatama in her eyes spun faster and faster, her voice became gentler, yet very convincing:

"I won't give you to anyone else."

"fog."

Sawara Kiri was lying on the ground, looking at the three magatama that were almost connected into a string in Miss Yayoi's eyes, and nodded silently.

Don't even dare to say a word.

You never know under what circumstances an Uchiha will open the Mangekyo that is unique to that moment.

However, he can confirm it now.

In the final bond path, the runaway yandere was indeed Miss Uchiha Yayoi in front of him.

　Second update, squeeze it dry!
