From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

Although Tachibana had no such thoughts, the close relationship between the two of them still deeply hit Minato Namikaze, the fragile heart of this little warm-hearted man (suck-up). Until that day, Minato finally couldn't suppress his emotions, and took the initiative to find Tachibana and revealed his feelings.

At that time, Hatake Tachibana just shook his head with amusement. There was nothing he could do. These kids in the ninja school were too precocious. At this age, they are still elementary school students on Blue Star... They are not even junior high school students!

At the same time, Tachibana continued to explain to Minato.

Well, this is also the beginning of the two of them becoming friends with a bond...

-

Looking at the pair of enemies in front of him, Hatake Tachibana smiled and looked at them and said with emotion:

"Minato and Kushina, I never expected that! The three of us would be assigned to a team."

"Yeah... But being able to be teammates with Tachibana really makes people feel unexpectedly at ease." The yellow-haired boy, Minato Namikaze, just smiled gently.

"Yeah! Tachibana, who do you think will be our team leader, Jonin sensei?" Kushina also joined the topic impatiently.

Hearing this, Ju just scratched his head. He guessed it, but he certainly couldn't tell these two people...

But in the next second, the yawning, unkempt, sleepy-looking white-haired young man wearing a ninja forehead protector appeared in the infinite perception system and slowly walked into the Ninja School.

Hatake Tachibana also shook his head somewhat helplessly. Jiraiya, who was in his twenties, really looked unreliable...

But it seems that Jiraiya won’t be very reliable when he gets older in the future?

Thinking of this, Ju shrugged with relief.

...

Jiraiya pushed open the door and slowly walked into the classroom. He looked at the girls and boys in front of him. They stared at each other for a few seconds. Jiraiya, who was late for a long time, grinned at them a little awkwardly, and then explained:

"I'm sorry! I just finished a mission yesterday, and I drank a little too much with Tsunade-chan when I returned to the village..."

"Well, let's not talk about this! Hello, I'm Jiraiya, a jonin. I see there's no one else in the classroom. You three should be Tachibana Hatake, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki!"

"Please take care of me in the future! Hahahaha...By the way, this is also my first time to lead a Genin student."

Ju nodded indifferently.

Minato Namikaze maintained his usual humble attitude and responded to Jiraiya very politely:

"It's okay, Mr. Jiraiya. Please take good care of me in the future."

Kushina looked around at the two white-haired guys, and suddenly stuck out her tongue at Jiraiya.

"You are also a white-haired uncle. Are you Tachibana's older brother? Don't be late again next time!"

"Uh..." Jiraiya turned his head and glanced at Hatake Tachibana who was standing aside with an expressionless face, and said softly to Kushina:

"No! Big brother Tachibana is much better than me. Although I also have white hair, we are not relatives."

"Oh, is that so? Then don't be late again next time, you white-haired guy!" Kushina changed her expression very quickly and yelled at Jiraiya with a sour face.

Jiraiya: "..."

After the few people met, Jiraiya prepared to follow tradition and take them out for a big meal.

This is also what Jiraiya learned from his senior ninjas. In order to be a good team leader, Jiraiya was not without any preparation!

When they heard that there was a free meal, no one had any objection. Even Kushina, the hot pepper, was obviously in high spirits.

After walking out of the Ninja School with a few people, Jiraiya and his group went straight to the barbecue restaurant of the Akimichi clan. However, halfway through the journey, Tachibana unexpectedly discovered something in front.

Orochimaru and Tsunade are already waiting on the roadside!

With Jiraiya beside him, Tachibana already knew that the three of them must have made an appointment in advance, and taking the three of them out for a meal was just a side job.

But even if they were the future Three Ninjas, Tachibana didn't care. It's not like Tachibana hadn't seen these three guys before, but he had always used Infinity to observe them in the dark. This was the first time they had met officially.

Ju was very calm. Anyway, even if these three guys were tied together, they couldn't beat him...

He just doesn't want to be too high-profile and attract too much attention for the time being, but if there is any need to take action, Tachibana is never afraid to expose his strength.

Well, those who took action included but were not limited to the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Nabe Kage Shimura Danzo.

As for the other two senior leaders in Konoha Village you mentioned, they are Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En.

please!

Tachibana even dared to fight the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, so what kind of people are these two... Just don't get involved. If they really come, just beat these two old men to death. They don't have the strength but are trying to imitate others to fight for power.

...

While Hatake Tachibana was daydreaming, a few moments later, the young versions of Orochimaru and Tsunade appeared in the sight of several people.

After a few casual greetings at the door of the barbecue restaurant, Jiraiya brought the three little ones behind him and entered the barbecue restaurant of the Akimichi clan.

Seeing the three Genin who had just graduated, Tsunade just nodded at them casually. Well, she also looked at Hatake Tachibana a few more times... After all, this appearance was still a little too eye-catching.

Except for Kushina, well...the two of them have known each other for a long time. After all, Kushina is also a member of the Uzumaki clan, and now Kushina still lives in Tsunade's grandmother's house.

Tsunade's grandmother Uzumaki Mito is also a member of the Uzumaki clan.

The reason why Kushina appeared in the Konoha Village back then was that Uzumaki Mito personally went out of the village and brought her back from the ruins of the destroyed "Whirlpool Country". Speaking of the destruction of the Whirlpool Country, we have to mention the current Hokage high-level government.

Even the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the "Land of Whirlpools", which was an ally at the time, could not refuse to send troops to support because of such short-sighted reasons as having signed a ceasefire agreement with other countries and not wanting to bring the war to Konoha?

And Tachibana believes that it is precisely because of Konoha's weak foreign policy that it can even ignore the destruction of its allies of many years, which has led to the ninja villages in other countries daring to provoke Konoha again and again!

The Konoha Ninja Village has really been destroyed by this bunch of people and has lost all its status as the largest village in the ninja world.

The principle of the lips and teeth are interdependent, these high-ranking officials of Konoha Village really don't understand it at all...

In addition to the embarrassing things happening outside Konoha Village, there are also many embarrassing things happening within Konoha Village!

The ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village were catching bloody ninjas everywhere, and Konoha Village, the largest village in the ninja world, was not left out.

For example, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kushina will be captured and the future Hyuga clan princess, Hyuga Hinata will be kidnapped.

And these Hidden Cloud Ninjas did this in the Konoha Village!

It's like shitting on the heads of all the ninjas in Konoha Village!

But what decisions did these Konoha high-level officials make?

The fact that Konoha Village did not launch any revenge was already a sign of cowardice.

But in the future, even because of the incident where Hyuga Hinata was maliciously kidnapped by the Hidden Cloud Village, the people in Konoha Village put pressure on each other...

In order to avoid war, the top leaders of Konoha Village forced the scapegoat of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hizashi, to death!

This is their explanation to the enemy... They don't care about the enemy's crimes, but they are very good at holding the villagers accountable.

Ju really wanted to point at those stupid people and ask, are these actions to avoid war?

Isn't this just telling the enemies that I am a coward and come and hit me...

Even if I lose, I won't do anything to you...

How ridiculous this is!

What good is it to have a powerful military force if you don’t have the courage to initiate a war?

Konoha, the largest village in the ninja world, is extremely cowardly. It can be said that all the recorded wars in the ninja world were initiated by other countries.

Konoha Village was forced to fight every time, and even if they won every time, apart from the death and injury of a lot of ninjas in their own village and maintaining the current situation, they didn't get any benefits at all...

All Ju can say is that he totally cannot understand the mysterious actions of these people.

-

As Tachibana was "daydreaming", Orochimaru's naturally cold gaze also lingered on Tachibana's face. To be precise, Orochimaru's gaze should have lingered on Tachibana's sky-blue eyes that were gleaming with electric light!

What a beautiful pair of eyes... Orochimaru thought secretly in his heart.

Do not misunderstand!

At this time, Orochimaru had not yet started his human experiments. His gaze was simply a scientific researcher's curiosity about the human body and chakra, the mysterious and unknown...

However, Hatake Tachibana noticed it and turned around and looked at Orochimaru for a few seconds.

...

"Hmm..." Orochimaru, with a pale face, groaned and looked at the white-haired, blue-eyed boy opposite him in horror, then quickly lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eye again.

Just because, this boy... this boy is called Hatake Tachibana!!

Just a glance at him just now made him recall the fear that had been buried in his heart for more than ten years...

Orochimaru knew that the young man must have used some kind of illusion on him just now!

A kind of illusion similar to D-level ninjutsu - called Magical Naraku Viewing Technique. Why does Orochimaru think it is similar...

Do you think that Orochimaru, a jonin and disciple of the Third Hokage, would be affected by a mere D-level illusion?

At this time, Orochimaru already had some guesses of his own about the boy's sky blue eyes.

These eyes are definitely a blood limit that can rival the Sharingan!

This pair of eyes definitely possesses its own pupil technique!

What Orochimaru didn't know at this time was that above the three magatama of the Sharingan, there were also the Mangekyō Sharingan, the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, the Samsara Eye, etc...

"Orochimaru? What's wrong with you?" Tsunade, who was sitting next to Orochimaru, also noticed the abnormality just now and couldn't help but look at him and asked.

Hearing this, several people's eyes instantly focused on him.

But Orochimaru still lowered his head. After about three or four seconds, Orochimaru slowly shook his head and explained softly:

"I'm fine, let's eat."

Seeing that Orochimaru didn't want to say more, Tsunade just frowned and glanced at the young boy opposite, Hatake Tachibana, out of a woman's intuition!

Tsunade has already noticed that Orochimaru's strange behavior just now is definitely related to this young man, but could this kind of child be the one who could cause Orochimaru to suffer?

Tsunade couldn't figure it out. You have to know that the strength of the three of them is almost the same. If Tachibana can make Orochimaru suffer, doesn't that mean she can also suffer? ?

...

Looking at Orochimaru who looked like he was "fertilized", Hatake Tachibana couldn't help but shook his head. He didn't have any obvious aversion to this guy Orochimaru.

If Orochimaru hadn't provoked him, he wouldn't have been so bored as to scare this "little snake" that hadn't fully grown up yet.

-

As the barbecued meat with a strong meaty aroma was cooked, it was brought up one plate after another. Several people seemed to have forgotten what had just happened and started to eat.

I have to say that the Akimichi clan's research on barbecue is really impressive...

After just a sip, Ju couldn't help himself and began to use Infinite to secretly learn the Akimichi clan's inherited barbecue recipe in the kitchen.

Well, he learned to feed himself and not compete with the Akimichi clan. Their Hatake clan is small in number and there are not that many members to support.

After three rounds of drinking, Tsunade gradually let go of her heroic character!

Tsunade, whose face was red from drinking, took off her kimono on her right shoulder, exposing her arms as white as lotus roots, and started to shake the dice with Jiraiya...

-

As the sky gradually darkened, the three little ones looked at each other and tacitly said goodbye to Jiraiya, who was already drunk, and left.

Chapter 11 Yunyin Village

As a crossroads appeared ahead, the three kids who had just finished their barbecue said goodbye to each other and said see you tomorrow, then each went in the direction of their home.

But at the moment when Hatake Tachibana turned his back to his two friends and gradually walked away, his face slowly turned cold.

Feeling the conversation between the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village who were hiding behind the dark wall, Tachibana frowned and couldn't help thinking in his heart:

Is this the butterfly effect? ​​These ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village seem to have their eyes on him too...

At this time, the three of them were behind a wall near a crossroads, about eighty meters away from them.

Six men wearing the Hidden Cloud Village ninja forehead protectors were crouching in the shadows behind the courtyard wall.

Among these six people, there was only one man who was suspected to be a sensing ninja. He put his ear close to the ground and listened quietly to the movements of the target person.

After a while, when the three people gradually walked away, the "Perception Ninja" raised his head, looked at the man on his right and said softly:

"Captain Kuwagi, the second target is Tachibana Hatake. The Anbu ninja from Konoha Village hiding next to him should be one person, and he is suspected to be a Jonin."

"The target number one is Uzumaki Kushina. There should be three Anbu ninjas from Konoha Village hiding beside her. They are suspected to be one jonin and two chuunin."

Hearing this, the extremely muscular Kumogakure ninja named Sangmu nodded. It was reasonable for Konoha Village to provide these two special "blood ninjas" with a guard force, that is, Anbu ninja guards.

It's similar to their Hidden Cloud Village. Normally, most ninjas with bloodline limits would not be assigned special guards in the ninja village. Of course, unless you are like the Uzumaki clan, you may be the last surviving member of the clan and are about to be exterminated.

In order to protect this only child, it is reasonable for Konoha Village to arrange more Anbu guards. As for this child named Hatake Tachibana, he is a senior spy arranged by their Hidden Cloud Village in Konoha, and he has obtained intelligence.
