Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 708 Appointments
"Minato, you don't seem very happy?"

"Is it Obito and Rin, and those children, that worry you?"

The whispers in his ears seemed to contain a strong sense of concern, which brought Minato back to his senses, subconsciously raised his head and scanned his surroundings, only to find that he had arrived at the familiar corridor of the Hokage Building at some point.

After a moment of silence, Minato didn't look at Kushina, but forced a smile and said:
"There is no such thing. It is a good thing to develop armaments to strengthen the village and the Kingdom of Fire. What's more, haven't you heard Lin say that?"

"The reason why she sells those things is just to allow her companions to use better equipment, to reduce sacrifices, and to achieve a complete victory for the country and the village."

"Isn't this kind of will, the idea of ​​protecting your companions and the village, the embodiment of the will of fire? What should I worry about?"

He explained a lot of ramblings, and what Minato wanted to explain was that he thought Lin and Obito's behavior was normal, but was it necessary to say so much?
"You really think that's the will of fire?"

For some unknown reason, Kushina suddenly asked such a question, and Minato fell silent for the second time. He didn't know how to answer. Could it be that the will of fire was deliberately misinterpreted by some caring people? ?
Used to fool children whose concept of right and wrong has not yet formed?
The Konoha established by the first generation of Hokage, passed down to the third generation of Hokage's will of fire, is to make all the ninjas work together to fight for the interests of Konoha, and the concept of the word "companion" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and has gradually become Konoha Shinobi. beliefs of the village.

But now, something happened that even the first generation of Hokage did not expect. Konoha and the country gradually merged into one, and the new capitalist ideology began to invade Konoha subtly, which changed the thinking of many people invisibly.

Protecting companions is equivalent to providing efficient killing tools?
Protecting the village is equivalent to invading other countries?
To be united is to treat all foreign ninjas and different social systems as heretics?Such as Qiu Kou?

If we say that the original will of fire is to make the fire shine on the village and protect the new leaves from growing vigorously.

Then the current will of fire is equivalent to a single spark, a prairie fire, wishing to ignite all the new leaves.

And then, burn the whole world to ashes.

Who is it that distorts the will of fire so much, confuses these extreme thoughts with the will of fire, and then combines them with the capitalist system, with various emerging arms industries, and even with patriotism, as a way to improve national military mobilization? The brainwashing method of ability?
The answer seems to be self-evident.

With three clicks, Minato knocked on the door of Hokage's office. After receiving a female voice's response, he turned the doorknob and walked in.

In the end, he didn't answer Kushina's question either.

Just because, no matter what he thinks, Konoha, the Kingdom of Fire will only move in a fixed direction. Does anyone still care about what the Will of Fire looks like?

"Ah, Minato, Kushina, you are back."

The woman sitting behind the desk is wearing a black women's suit, which looks like an urban beauty, but with the pair of black square glasses, it adds a bit of majesty to that pretty face.

Only a little haggard, revealed in the fundus of the eyes.

Nonai Yu, representing Hokage, has been in office for more than a year.

"Well, Miss Nonoyu."

First, he greeted Nonaiyu, Minato just wanted to ask where his teacher was, but unexpectedly, Nonaiyu's next words made him froze in place:

"Minato, from now on, you are the agent Hokage."

"Also, this is an order."

After the two faint instructions, No Naiyu seemed to hate this place extremely, picked up the shoulder bag on the table, walked around the desk in less than half a second, and walked towards the door quickly.

"Wait, wait, Miss Nonoyu!"

"How is this going?"

No matter how quick Minato's reaction speed was, when he heard the appointment suddenly, he was still so shocked that he didn't react for a few seconds. It was not until Nonaiyu was about to step out of the door that he subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab the latter, so as not to let this person accidentally The former agent Hokage slipped away.

Looking back at Minato and Kushina, seeing the anxious expression of the former and the dumbfounded expression of the latter, Nonoyu smiled slightly, somewhat forcedly:

"Minato, don't you also want to be Hokage in your dreams? I have already greeted you accordingly. As long as you walk over and sit behind that desk, you will be in charge of everything about Konoha."

"Now, can you let me go?"

The shoulders exerted a little strength, but they didn't break free from the palm of Minato's grip on his arm. Nonoyu frowned, and his gaze towards Minato gradually turned cold.

Under Nonaiyu's staring gaze, Minato suddenly felt a little tingling in his scalp. Even though the strengths of each other were vastly different, this did not affect his awe of Nonaiyu, who has been handling Hokage's work all the year round, acting as Hokage-sama .

"Miss Nonoyu, is this appointment assigned by the teacher?"

Bite the bullet, Minato plucked up the courage to raise his head and look at Nonoyu, but found that the other party casually stretched out his fingers to stroke his hair, and replied casually:

"I appointed it, didn't I?"

It has to be said that at this moment, Nonaiyu is behaving differently than in any previous period, like a leader who was originally very rational, suddenly turned into a willful, free and easy woman.

Minato was obviously very uncomfortable with Nonaiyu's state, and he didn't have the clear instructions from his teacher, or rather, the appointment document written by Lei Luo handwritten by Nonaiyu, so he didn't dare to sit in Hokage's seat like this.

It's not in line with process, and...

It is likely to become a taint for some people to attack him.

Seemingly seeing what Minato was thinking, even if he didn't hear the answer, he understood Minato's attitude. Nonoyu lightly lifted his glasses, and calmly twitched his arms again, as expected, he remained motionless.

Ok……

In desperation, No Naoyu had no choice but to soften his face, and slowly said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Minato, you and I are both witnesses of the Mizukage mission. It has been ten years since we followed Lei Luo to this day." ?”

Seeing Minato nodding, Nonaiyu said again:
"Then you will do my sister a favor this time, help me manage Konoha for a while, and let my sister go to the capital to deal with an urgent matter, okay?"

"I've really held back this matter for a long, long time."

When he said these words, No Naoyu looked sincere and his tone was soft to the extreme, Minato felt a little relieved, and at the same time realized that this might be No Naoyu's private matter, and it probably had something to do with the teacher.

No Naoyu is indeed his older sister, and she has taken care of him and Kushina for so many years. Minato thought for a moment, and instead of asking No Naoyu what he was going to do in the capital, he turned his head and glanced at the desk:

"Sister Nonaiyu, how soon will you be back?"
