Naruto: I can synthesize psychic beasts

Even Rin, who was using the Palm Fairy Technique, couldn't help but burst out laughing, thinking that Obito was so cute and silly.

Although Minato Namikaze felt a little speechless, he shook his head slightly and still patiently explained to his "illiterate" disciple.

"Although it is attributeless chakra, the Rasengan is the ultimate form of chakra. Like any ninjutsu, there are risks involved in learning and using it. If you are not careful, you will suffer backlash."

What Minato Namikaze didn't say in the end was that with his disciple's talent, it was still too difficult to successfully practice the Rasengan and control such fine chakra.

He turned to look at Kakashi, who had an indifferent expression on his face, and a hint of surprise flashed in his sky-blue eyes again.

"Just by watching me demonstrate it once, he instantly understood the principle of this technique and was able to perform it. Kakashi, this guy, his talent in ninjutsu is really terrifying!"

Minato Namikaze could only admire that the other party's ninja talent was indeed better than his own.

.......

Leisure time always passes quickly.

It was dusk in Konoha Village.

Minato Namikaze disbanded the training team and prepared to go home to go out for dinner with Kushina.

"After all these years, I still haven't eaten the food cooked by Kushina..."

He shook his head slightly, his expression somewhat emotional.

But at this moment, a strong figure suddenly flashed from a distance.

"Teacher Jiraiya? When did you come back?!"

Turning around completely, Minato Namikaze asked with a look of surprise.

"Hahaha... I just came back from Hot Spring Country collecting some writing materials!"

Namikaze Minato's smile remained unchanged. As for the material, it was probably just peeping at girls bathing...

As a disciple, he didn't know how to complain about his teacher's habit.

After chatting for a while, Jiraiya's expression gradually became serious.

"Minato, you are the commander of the Iwagakure battlefield this time, you have to do it!"

"why?"

Minato Namikaze's expression changed slightly and he asked in confusion.

......

Chapter 356 Death of Yahiko

"If you want to become Hokage, you must demonstrate your achievements and strength. Once you possess both, reputation will naturally follow. With you being the most popular candidate, it will be a natural progression for you to take over the position of Hokage!"

"But, from what I've seen, the Third Master and the advisory elders don't seem to have any intention of letting me take on this position..."

Namikaze Minato knew that the higher-ups were simply wary of his youth. So, after successfully reaching a partnership with Kumogakure, at the village's morning jonin meeting, there was no suggestion that he should be considered for the position.

"Minato, you're just too soft-hearted! Sarutobi-sensei is fine, but you don't have to pay attention to the thoughts and attitudes of those advisory elders! Orochimaru rarely shows up now. I guess he sensed that Sarutobi-sensei wouldn't pass the Hokage position to him, so he was disheartened for a while. You know Tsunade too. After the deaths of her lover and brother, she was hit hard. She's been wandering around, unwilling to return to Konoha, this sad place."

Jiraiya's voice paused slightly, his expression becoming more serious.

"You should have known long ago that the teacher has no interest in the position of Hokage. I also know that my personality is not suitable for the position of Hokage. As your teacher, Minato, I know your dream best! With my help, I am fully confident that I can push you to the position of the Fourth Hokage! But you must not give up, you must be brave enough to fight for it! As for Sarutobi-sensei, I will naturally take care of it for you."

Although he knew that his teacher was trying hard to pave the way for him, Minato was still a little hesitant.

After many battles, he gradually emerged on the battlefield and gained the attention, trust and support of the village leaders. His reputation in Konoha Village also suddenly reached a new height and showed a trend of continued growth.

He was also overconfident and said some things that were premature.

"Perhaps I have become difficult for the Third Generation to control..."

Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly.

Seeing this, Jiraiya snorted coldly.

He always looks like a good guy, but once he frowns, he gives people the feeling that he cannot be easily shaken.

"Sarutobi-sensei is good in every way except that he's too obsessed with power! Although it may be a bit rude to say this, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi-sensei, is to blame for the heavy casualties the village has suffered!

The Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki next door was helpless; he was the sole proprietor of the Iwagakure Ninja Village. But we in Konoha are full of talented people, and our teacher has no such scruples. But not only did he not cherish them, but in order to consolidate his position and ensure that the village could develop completely according to his ideas, he actually attacked the ninjas of his own village. No wonder Tsunade was so disheartened and never wanted to return to the village again!

Thinking of the senior whom he respected who committed suicide because of rumors, Jiraiya was full of dissatisfaction.

There is also her good friend Tsunade, who used to come back to the village to rest from time to time after traveling for a while, but since the incident with Hatake Shigeki, she has never returned to the village.

Shaking his head, Jiraiya temporarily put aside the worries in his heart.

"It's time for the village to make some reforms. Konoha needs a breath of fresh air! Minato, I have high hopes for you!"

"...Thank you, Jiraiya-sensei. I understand."

Seeing his disciple give in, Jiraiya's gloomy face suddenly broke into an uninhibited smile.

He slapped Minato on the shoulder and laughed boldly.

"Why are you thanking the teacher? In my opinion, you are the most suitable ninja to be Hokage. It's normal for the teacher to pave the way for you."

"Then... Is it really okay with the Third-sama?"

Minato Namikaze was worried that because of this matter, his teacher would have a conflict with his master, or even a dispute would break out.

Because the other party obviously wants to curb his prestige in the village!

Minato was confident that he was absolutely right about this.

"Don't worry! I still have the confidence to convince Sarutobi-sensei."

Jiraiya patted his chest and laughed.

.......

The land of rain.

In a canyon.

Looking at his companion who had bumped into his kunai, Nagato's mind was suddenly confused.

All thoughts of demigods and conspiracies vanished from his mind in an instant, leaving only the blood-soaked face and Yahiko's eyes filled with reluctance and determination.

He didn't react for a long time.

what happened?

Yahiko is dead?

Did I kill Yahiko with my own hands?

No! This must not be true!

This is a dream!

Pulling his hand back in fear, the light in Yahiko's eyes quickly faded as he fell limply towards Nagato.

His arms were still warm, but Nagato suddenly felt very cold.

The rain soaked his entire body, and for a moment, Nagato was shivering from the cold.

"No! No!!! Yahiko, what are you doing? Why are you so stupid! Wuwuwu..."

On the other side, Xiaonan, who was being held hostage, burst into tears instantly and struggled frantically, wanting to see his best friend.

The force was so great that Hanzo had to use more strength before he could finally hold her down.

He frowned slightly, somewhat frightened by this woman's madness, and a complex feeling flashed through his heart. After all, he was dealing with the people of his own country this time.

But in order to protect his position, he firmly believed that his cooperation with Danzo was not wrong. And the death of these young people also had its value. At least they died for the future of the Rain Country!

......

thump--

Nagato knelt weakly on the ground, and Yahiko lay in his arms, motionless.

The warmth quickly dissipated, and Nagato only felt that what he held in his arms seemed to be a piece of ten thousand year old ice.

He lowered his head and stared blankly at Yahiko's profile, despair and powerlessness filling his heart. It made it difficult for him to breathe, and his whole body was cold and trembling.

For a long time, Nagato still felt like he was living in a dream.

He gently turned Yahiko's chest, and a glaring wound appeared on Yahiko's heart.

Everything is scarlet.

boom! ! ! !

At that moment, Nagato's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip.

He reached out his hand tremblingly and touched Yahiko's heart, hoping to feel that his friend's heart was still beating.

But when I got it, there was dead silence.

Nagato's body trembled, and he looked up in disbelief.

The rain soaked his red bangs, but the Salamander Hanzo not far away slowly widened his pupils.

He saw the red-haired young man whose name seemed to be Nagato. Under his long hair that was wet into clumps by the rain, there were circles of strange patterns in his pupils.

Suddenly, a look of shock appeared on the face of Hanzo Salamander.

"Reincarnation Eye!?"

Chapter 357 Heretic Demon

After recognizing the legendary eyes, Hanzo pulled back directly, no longer caring about the hostages, and simply released the explosive fire array that he had prepared.

Nagato dodged while holding Yahiko's body, but his feet were still burned by the explosive flame formation.

Xiao Nanfei rushed over, hugged Yahiko in his arms, and let out a cry of grief.

"Yahiko! Why are you so stupid! Why are you so stupid! Wuwuwu......"

Looking at his friend covered in blood and lifeless, Xiaonan was plunged into endless grief.

Nagato still looked dazed.

But after seeing Hanzo go against his promise and release the hostages, the ninja forces hidden on the other side could no longer tolerate it. Ninjas dressed in black and wearing animal masks rushed out from the dirt slope behind them, and the moment they appeared, they threw countless shurikens at the two Nagatos in the field.
