Konoha: Uchiha, I can become stronger by causing trouble

When the child leading the way saw the middle-aged man, he took a few steps forward and handed the coin in his hand to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at the coin carefully, his face relaxed slightly, but still alert, and then made a few gestures towards Minato.

Minato followed suit and made a few different hand gestures.

At this step, the docking is completed.

Minato and the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"You are one day later than expected."

"Sorry, I took a detour because I didn't want to conflict with the Sand Ninja."

The middle-aged man nodded, then took out a scroll and handed it to Minato. He said, "This is the information you need for this mission. Please keep it!"

"sorry to bother you."

Minato took the scroll and continued, "Now that the information has been transmitted, we will take our leave!"

The middle-aged man nodded and did not try to persuade him to stay. This base was extremely secretive, and the sooner he left, the less likely he would expose the place and the safer he would be.

Seeing this, Minato said no more and led Chiga and Kakashi away from the dilapidated temple.

"Okay, we have obtained the intelligence scroll, and the mission is almost half completed."

After leaving the dilapidated temple, Minato turned around and said with a smile.

Qian He's eyes lit up: "So, we can go to the hot springs now?"

"Ok!"

Chapter 56 Red Sand Scorpion

"The hot springs in the River Country are great, much better than the environment in our Konoha Village!"

Qianhe had a towel on his head, his whole body soaked in the water with only his head exposed, and spoke lazily.

The hot spring is surrounded by a lush bamboo forest. In the night, only the surface of the hot spring reflects the bright moonlight, sparkling.

The hot steam rises up, carrying with it the smell of sulfur and the unique moisture of hot springs, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland.

Kakashi appeared beside Chiga and replied: "That's because you haven't been to the Land of Hot Springs. The hot springs there are really comfortable!"

"Really? Then let's go to the Land of Hot Springs to experience it if we have a chance."

Chiga said, and then saw the ninja dog Parker swimming past him using the doggy paddle.

"Hey, Kakashi, why did you let Puck in here?"

"Spiritual beasts are also our partners. What's wrong with taking a hot spring bath together? You can also put your crow feathers in!"

Kakashi said nonchalantly.

"Have you ever seen a crow taking a hot spring bath?"

"I have seen it." Kakashi said confidently.

"."

Looking at Kakashi who was lying with open eyes, Chiga was helpless.

I just didn’t expect that my first hot spring bath would not be with a young lady, but with a dog.

Qianhe turned his head and asked Minato on the other side: "By the way, Minato-senpai, what does the information say?"

Because the intelligence scroll in this mission was not an important secret, Minato opened it and read it on the way.

This is also to ensure that if there is an emergency or the scroll is lost, Minato can go back and explain it in person.

Minato said, "The intelligence says that the previous Daimyo of Wind Country has passed away, and the new Daimyo of Wind Country is a playboy who only knows how to enjoy himself. He seems to be dissatisfied with the fact that more than half of his annual financial expenditure is spent on Sand Village, and wants to cut the funding for Sand Village."

"They even want to abolish the establishment of ninja villages, learn from the River Country, and hand over all commissions to other countries. They even mentioned Konohagakure."

"It seems that he is a pro-Konoha daimyo. Such a daimyo must be well protected and not be killed by their own people."

Qian He also laughed when he heard this.

He also remembered this great name.

In the anime, the ninja from the Sand Country had already said this in the plan to destroy Konoha.

Because the Daimyo of the Land of Wind cut the funding for the Sand Village, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa had to use ninjutsu to continuously refine gold sand from the desert to subsidize the village, and even pushed the Daimyo for funding in order to demonstrate his strength.

I didn't expect that the daimyo of the Wind Country had this idea as soon as he came to power.

As for why it has not been carried out now, it is probably because he has just come to power and is not stable enough, so it is not appropriate to cause discord with the Third Kazekage.

During the reign of the Fourth Kazekage, because the Third Kazekage was missing and the Fourth Kazekage came to power in a hurry and his foundation was unstable, the daimyo had the opportunity to cut funding.

"Don't be happy too soon. The existence of the ninja village is to maintain national security. If the funding for the Sand Village is cut, ninjas will leave and there will be no strong military force to maintain it, which will lead to national unrest."

"The Daimyo's proposal to cut Sand Village's funding is not a wise choice. Even if the cut is not successful, there will be a rift between Sand Village and the Kingdom of Wind."

Minato continued.

Kakashi asked doubtfully, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Minato shook his head and explained, "Good is relative."

"In the short term, due to the lack of funds, Wind Country will increase its efforts to accept commissions from various countries, which will lead to more intense competition between us and Sand Ninja for River Country commissions. In the long run, if the rewards for Sand Village from commissions can offset the amount cut by the daimyo, then it will be fine. But if it is not enough."

"War, external war! And the best choice is the rich Fire Country." Qianhe said softly.

After all, when internal conflicts cannot be resolved, they will only lead to greater external conflicts.

At this point, Chiga and Kakashi both fell silent.

Chiga knew that the Third Shinobi World War was indeed about to begin, which was also the battle that made Minato famous.

"It's too early. The entire Wind Country is not under the control of this new daimyo. And such a short-sighted daimyo will surely give the Sand Village a headache."

Minato smiled silently. Men, when talking about national affairs, are full of opinions and can talk eloquently.

As the three of them chatted, a long time passed and they all felt hungry.

"I've finished my hot spring bath, and now it's time to go eat. I haven't had anything hot in a while."

Minato said.

Chiga and Kakashi did not object, but Kakashi looked at Chiga and asked, "Then the question is, who will pay for the meal between us?"

"No need, let me do it!" Minato said generously before Chiga could speak.

"Minato-senpai, you've already treated the two of us to a hot spring bath, and now it's our turn to pay for it. We can't let you pay alone."

After hearing this, Chiga also understood that it was indeed not a good idea to let Minato pay again. If they formed a team in the future and kept asking Minato to pay, Minato would not be able to afford to marry Kushina.

"You pay!" ×2

Chiga and Kakashi said at the same time, and then slowly stood up, not caring whether their little birds were seen by Minato.

There seemed to be a spark in each of their eyes.

Looking at the two people who seemed to be in a dispute, Minato shook his head helplessly and at the same time quickly glanced at their lower bodies.

Alas, Kakashi lost again!

After thinking for a while, Minato smiled and suggested, "Let's have a competition to see who can hold their breath underwater the longest. The loser will treat you."

This is a good idea.

Seeing Kakashi's eyes full of desire to win, Chiga simply asked Minato: "Minato-sensei, why not a comparison of size?"

"What's the point of comparing? Kakashi has already lost!"

Minato said without even thinking.

Kakashi: “.”

[Negative emotions from Hatake Kakashi, emotion value +80! ]

"Minato-senpai, you actually peeked at us?! When I say size comparison, I'm not talking about the two ounces of meat under you!"

Qianhe immediately returned to the water.

"Forehead"

Minato also understood that he seemed to have misunderstood the meaning, and quickly apologized to Kakashi: "Sorry, Kakashi, I thought Chiga was talking about age."

"Teacher Minato, just help him!" It would have been better if he didn't explain. The explanation made Kakashi even more desperate.

And even if you consider age, including the ten months he spent in the womb, he is still two months younger than the other.

Minato used a double meaning to comfort him: "Kakashi, don't worry, you are still young, you will grow up one day!"

"But Qianhe is only seven years old."

"Maybe he is gifted!"

"."

[Negative emotions from Hatake Kakashi, emotion value +80! ]

The three of them were hungry, so based on the principle of proximity, they found a snack bar near the hot spring.

Considering the huge blow Kakashi suffered mentally, Chiga generously said that he would treat the meal!

Sitting cross-legged on the tatami.

Looking at the hot food, the three of them were salivating and were ready to start eating.

However, Parker in Kakashi's arms suddenly sniffed and shouted, "Kakashi, there is a strange smell in here."

Hearing Parker's words, the three of them immediately became alert. At this moment, something suddenly broke out of the ground under Minato's feet.

Minato's face changed, and he jumped back, dodging the attack while taking out a special kunai, and yelled to Chika and Kakashi: "Go!"

Chiga and Kakashi reacted quickly and reached the windowsill as Minato moved. They jumped lightly and landed on the roof.

boom!

And just as the two left, the snack bar collapsed instantly.

The powerful explosion has attracted the attention of the people around, and they are screaming and dodging.

Chiga and Kakashi also ran along the eaves towards the outside of the town.

Chiga looked back towards Minato's position and saw two ninjas dressed in Sand Ninja costumes besieging Minato.

"Don't worry about it, let's retreat first!"

Kakashi said to Chiga.

Kakashi knew Minato's strength best, and as long as the two of them were safe, Minato could retreat at any time.

Chiga also understood this, so after just a glance, she followed Kakashi.

However, things did not go as planned. On the path where Chiga and Kakashi were running, two ninjas wearing Sand Ninja forehead protectors blocked their way.

Chiga and Kakashi stopped and looked at each other with serious expressions.

Although there were only two of them, judging from their aura, they were not simple people.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and was thinking about how to get you two away from that Jonin. I didn't expect you two to separate so easily. It seems that the relationship between you Konoha ninjas is not that good!"

"Are the ninjas of the Sand Village, one of the five great nations, only capable of such despicable means as poisoning?"

Kakashi asked coldly, otherwise he and Puck might really be poisoned by the Sand Ninja.

"You must be Hatake Kakashi, right? I originally wanted you to die quietly so that your bodies would not be damaged. After all, it is easy to damage a body in a battle, which is not easy for me to make a puppet. Even if I make a puppet, it will be a flawed work of art."

The leading Sand Ninja was none other than Scorpion of the Red Sand. He looked at Kakashi's white hair and thought that he seemed to overlap with a figure he had seen in a photo.

Suddenly, an endless murderous intent emerged in my heart.

Hearing this, Qianhe already understood who the person in front of him was, and whispered to Kakashi: "Kakashi, the opportunity has come. The other party is Scorpion of the Red Sand, the grandson of Chiyo. Do you remember what you said that night? Do you want to collect some interest first?"

"Now is not the time to joke around. Think about how to escape."

Of course Kakashi also recognized who the other person was, but he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that one of the Sand Ninjas who came was actually his father's enemy.

Even the method of poisoning in advance was aimed at them.

It seems that it was his information that appeared in the Sand Village, causing Chiyo's revenge.

He even wanted Scorpion to take revenge himself.
