Naruto: I Borrow from the Future

Minato Namikaze blinked.

He almost missed Qingye's 180-degree turn.

However, judging from the outcome, Qingye seems to be willing to agree to his request.

"...A two-person team?"

Minato Namikaze hesitated slightly.

Aoya shrugged and explained, "Kakashi and I are both Jonin, isn't that normal?"

Two Jonin, plus a Chunin as a burden, even if he's a medical ninja, he's still a burden.

"Besides, if I team up with Kakashi, the missions we take on will definitely be more difficult. Letting Rin stay with us will only make things more dangerous."

"Furthermore, Rin's medical ninjutsu can be used to treat the wounded in the rear, which will maximize her value."

Qingye slowly began to recount her story.

Minato Namikaze nodded as he pondered.

It seems that this approach is indeed more appropriate.

This way, Lin will definitely be safer in the main camp.

"My thinking was limited. Thank you, Aoya."

Minato Namikaze sincerely thanked him: "Well, I wonder if there's any ninjutsu you'd like to learn, Aoya? Just tell me, and I'll do my best to help you."

Even the Flying Thunder God Technique, if he reports it to the Third Hokage, it shouldn't be impossible for him to teach it.

But he couldn't guarantee whether Qingye could learn it.

"Hmm...no special ninjutsu is needed."

Qingye frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Minato, I'm somewhat interested in your self-created ninjutsu, the Rasengan."

"Is the Rasengan the only one?"

Minato Namikaze couldn't help but confirm again: "Is that all? Aoya, you can choose a more valuable ninjutsu."

His light-filled popsicle, which unleashes a whirlwind, is Jiraiya's Double Shiki-jutsu, a rare technique indeed.

However, compared to the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Four Symbols Seal, and the Eight Trigrams Seal that he also possessed, it was far inferior.

"Rasengan will do."

Qingye confirmed.

He probably won't find the other skills easy to learn, so he might as well borrow chakra later to learn them.

As for the Rasengan...

He wasn't very interested in making Rasengan, but he was very interested in Boruto's invisible, throwable version of Rasengan infused with lightning chakra!

"……All right."

Minato Namikaze was somewhat helpless and could only silently remember it.

Let's make it up to them elsewhere in the future.

……

Outside Konoha Village.

Qingye noticed Kakashi's noticeably unusual gait, then looked at his calves and the footprints on the ground, raising an eyebrow: "Kakashi, are you doing weight training too?"

"Um."

Kakashi stared at Aoya, his competitive spirit rising within him.

He was considered the number one genius among his peers since childhood, but now he has been surpassed!

How could he possibly tolerate this?

We must catch up with Aoya!

When Kakashi saw Aoya asking Gai for advice on weight training, he followed suit and added weights to his legs as well.

"good."

Qingye gave a thumbs up: "Remember to make sure the load is easy to take off, otherwise it might affect your performance in an encounter."

"Of course I know that," Kakashi said in a muffled voice.

On the other side, Nohara Rin took out a medical kit, opened it and showed it to everyone: "This is a gift to celebrate us becoming teammates, and also to celebrate Aoya's promotion to Jonin. There's also a talisman that I specially obtained inside."

Qingye: "..."

Why does this amulet look so familiar?

Did you go to the same shrine?

"Uh, what's wrong?"

Seeing Aoya's reaction, Nohara Rin panicked a little. Had she given him the wrong thing?

She had noticed the style of the names Qingye had given to the ninja cats and thought that the other person might like this kind of thing, so she prepared it specially.

"No, I like it very much. Thank you, Lin."

Qingye took out the amulet and put it away, then placed the medical kit in the backpack behind her.

Then, turning to look at Kakashi, he reached out his hand.

"..."

Kakashi turned his head somewhat awkwardly: "Do you still want a gift for your Jonin promotion?"

When he heard from Minato-sensei that his new teammate was Aoya, he naturally had no objections, but after that, he didn't think much of it.

Gift for Jonin promotion...

Come to think of it, Obito still owes himself a Jonin promotion gift.

Thinking of this, Kakashi felt a little gloomy: "I'll make it up to you later."

"Then I'll look forward to it, and hopefully it won't disappoint me."

Qingye smiled and took out a map: "Ahem, this is the new squad. I'm the captain, and you'll be following my orders from now on. Anyone have any objections?"

Kakashi and the other person nodded.

Having personally experienced the battle at Kannabi Bridge, they knew all too well the extent of Qingye's strength.

"Our destination this time is the Land of the Sea."

Qingye pointed to an archipelago on the southeastern coast of the Land of Fire on the map.

The Land of the Sea is an archipelago nation located overseas from the Land of Fire, situated between the two great nations of the Land of Fire and the Land of Water, and relatively closer to the Land of Fire.

This latest attack by Kirigakure is aimed at the Land of the Sea.

Currently, of the four main islands of the Land of the Sea, the largest main island and another island, Oni-kai Island, are still under the control of the Konoha ninjas, but the other two main islands, Taro Island and Jiro Island, have been occupied by the Kirigakure ninjas.

Their three-person team was going to the main island of the Sea Kingdom to provide reinforcements.

At that time, Rin will stay at the Konoha camp on the main island as a medical ninja, while he and Kakashi will take on missions as a two-person team.

"Now we're going to the dock on the border of the Land of Fire, and from there we'll set sail for the Land of the Sea."

The three of them set off immediately.

After traveling for half a day, they successfully arrived at the border of the Land of Fire.

The weather was perfect that day, clear and cloudless, with even the sea calm and still.

Ahead, the Konoha ninja stronghold near the dock was clearly visible in the autumn sunlight.

"etc!"

Kakashi suddenly stopped them, his nose twitching: "There's a smell of blood!"

"...Kakashi, your nose is really sharp."

Aoya glanced out of the corner of his eye; the stronghold was still thirty or forty meters away. "Could it be that you also have the blood of the Inuzuka clan?"

"..."

Kakashi rolled his eyes.

"Hey you, come out!"

Aoya became wary and shouted, "If you want to fool us, at least one of you should be disguised as a lookout ninja, right?"

Now we can't even see a sentry post.

Clearly, something happened at the outpost on the dock ahead!

"Hehehe..."

A clear yet alluring girlish voice rang out: "You're quite vigilant. Speaking of which, are all the male ninjas in Konoha this handsome? You're much better than us in Kirigakure in that respect."

As they were speaking, a cloud of mist swept over them.

A dozen or so figures could be faintly seen through the mist at the outpost ahead.

"This fog..."

Qingye narrowed his eyes.

Based on the other person's voice, he deduced their age. Also, the chakra color was clearly abnormal under the Sharingan's vision, distinctly different from the chakra color of the Hidden Mist Technique that Aoya had seen in the Hidden Mist battlefield before!

The identity of the person opposite is already quite obvious.
