From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

Then die in front of him, after all, men can travel through time...

Well, it’s just that if you can avoid death, you’d better not die. After all, you have destroyed the plot of the original world. Try your best to bring a brand new and beautiful ending to this world. This is what Ju wants to see.

-

Looking at Hatake Tachibana who was clinging to the window sill of his house, Namikaze Minato, who was lying on the bed, was also a little confused. If it weren't for his faster reflexes than ordinary people, the kunai he had just held in his hand would have been thrown out.

"Tachibana, what are you doing?" Namikaze Minato looked at Hatake Tachibana with a strange expression and said.

"There's no time to explain. Your wife has been kidnapped by the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village! If you don't rescue her, they will soon leave Konoha Village..." But before Hatake Tachibana could finish his words.

Minato Namikaze had already put on his clothes without him noticing, and in a flash he jumped out of the second-floor window of his house.

Minato, who was in mid-air, still had enough energy to ask Hatake Tachibana, who was hanging by the window:

"Tachibana! Which direction is Kushina?"

Tachibana was just stunned for a moment, Minato's speed of changing clothes was really fast...

Even he almost didn't see it clearly. This Minato kid is worthy of being the fastest man in the future ninja world in the original work.

Well, as for the fact that Minato automatically defined "wife" as Kushina, Hatake Tachibana was too lazy to complain and just pointed to the southeast of Konoha Village.

"Go that way, Minato, be careful..."

But before Tachibana could finish his words, the little yellow-haired figure of Minato Namikaze had disappeared from Tachibana's sight.

Feeling a little amused, Tachibana Hatake shook his head.

Immediately afterwards, Ju followed slowly.

...

Looking at the red hair on the ground, Minato breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the direction he was chasing from was correct, and he was able to allow Kushina to secretly leave her hair behind, which also means that Kushina is fine now.

Moreover! Among the group of Kumogakure ninjas around Kushina, there should be no jonin-level ninjas, otherwise Kushina would not have the opportunity to leave these traces.

After figuring out the trick, Minato sped up a bit and quickly chased after Kushina.

Then, the plot returned to the starting point again due to the influence of Hatake Tachibana...

Minato Namikaze, who made a handsome appearance, only chased all the way to the outside of Konoha Village until he caught up with the group of Kumogakure ninjas.

It was until this time that the genius ninja from the Ninja Academy, Minato Namikaze, who was greatly underestimated by the village!

Only then did he fully reveal his strength.

In just a flash of light and shadow, three senior Chunins from the Hidden Cloud Village fell at the feet of the ten-year-old boy in front of them without any ability to fight back!

This unparalleled nerve reflex speed is the most powerful plug-in that God has given to Minato Namikaze, the future Fourth Hokage!

In Minato's eyes, the movements of ordinary people seem to be almost in slow motion, which is one of the reasons why Minato can be so at ease.

This ability is somewhat similar to the ability that Tachibana once mastered in the Demon Slayer world. Of course, in terms of these physical talents, the current Tachibana Hatake will only be stronger.

The "Flying Thunder God Technique" that matched Minato in the future brought his physical talent to the extreme. It can be said that before Tachibana came to this world.

Minato Namikaze is the man who best suits this ninjutsu!

And the future Minato's mastery of "Flying Thunder God" can even be said to have completely surpassed the man who once created this ninjutsu - the second generation Hokage "Senju Tobirama!"

Of course, this effect can be achieved.

In addition to his physical talents, Minato's smart and calm mind and superb combat IQ are also indispensable.

Under the moonlight, the blond and handsome Minato Namikaze jumped up holding Kushina...

The soft moonlight shone on Minato's face with a gentle smile. Somehow, this "beautiful scene" in front of her made Uzumaki Kushina mesmerized.

Looking at this face, the red-haired girl thought to herself: It turns out that Minato is so handsome...

-

Looking at this heartwarming scene, Tachibana Hatake, who had been following Minato Namikaze, smiled knowingly. Then he turned around and returned to Konoha Village, one step faster than the other two.

However, when Hatake Tachibana just arrived at the village entrance, he ran into his good brother, Hatake Sakumo!

Looking at the big brother who was leading dozens of Anbu ninjas with such a fierce momentum, even Tachibana, a man who had lived for several lifetimes, was somewhat moved at this moment.

Shuomao caught sight of his younger brother's figure at a glance, and his eyes lit up instantly!

The next second, the Konoha White Fang appeared next to Hatake Tachibana.

"Ju! You little brat, since you are safe and sound, why didn't you leave a mark for me? I thought you were kidnapped by those bastards from the Hidden Cloud Village!"

Looking at Hatake Sakumo's slightly blaming tone, Tachibana just smiled gently and spoke to comfort him:

"Brother, I'm fine. Those bastards from the Hidden Cloud Village can't kidnap me..."

"Trash?" Upon hearing this special title, Hatake Sakumo's face instantly became strange.

The trash his little brother was referring to were the two incomplete bodies of "suspected to be jonins from the Hidden Cloud Village" that were now placed in the morgue of the Anbu, with the remaining chakra inside the bodies having reached the jonin level?

Looking at his good brother Hatake Sakumo who had a strange expression and was hesitant to speak, Hatake Tachibana just shrugged his shoulders. He was not going to hide his approximate strength from Hatake Sakumo.

It’s just that his good brother, Hatake Sakumo, never asked him before, which led to today’s misunderstanding.

"Those two ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village came to capture me, but they didn't seem as strong as me, so... I killed them all." When Tachibana Hatake said this, his face was so calm.

Even though he already had some guesses in his mind, when Hatake Sakumo really heard this answer, he still couldn't help but be shocked for a moment!

...

In fact, before this, Hatake Sakumo really felt that he had overestimated his younger brother.

Well, Hatake Sakumo previously believed that his younger brother Hatake Tachibana, the freshly graduated Genin from the Ninja Academy, should already have the strength of an elite Chunin.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to crush the students of the same age in the ninja school!

This includes the two most powerful families in Konoha Village at this time...

The Uchiha and Hyuga clans!

His family inherited the bloodline limit - Sharingan and Byakugan respectively, but his younger brother Hatake Tachibana was able to easily overwhelm this group of bloodline ninjas!

It is very normal to be able to achieve this level and reach the level of elite Chunin.

However, it was not until today that Hatake Sakumo discovered it.

He still greatly underestimated this little brother with whom he had not practiced sword skills for a long time!

In fact, what Hatake Sakumo himself didn't realize was that every time he practiced swordsmanship with his younger brother Hatake Tachibana, he could steadily improve his swordsmanship skills.

Previously, Hatake Sakumo thought that it was all the result of his own accumulation...

In fact, it was all Hatake Tachibana, a master-level figure who had used swords for several lifetimes, who was silently teaching Hatake Sakumo some moves and helping Hatake Sakumo to perfect his own way of ninja swordsmanship.

...

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the shock in his heart, Hatake Sakumo then asked Tachibana about the whereabouts of the girl from the Uzumaki clan.

After learning from Tachibana that the girl named Uzumaki Kushina was safe and sound, Hatake Sakumo commanded two Anbu ninjas to go out of the village to meet the two.

However, Hatake Sakumo brought his younger brother Hatake Tachibana away from the crowd and came to a quiet place. After carefully observing the surroundings for a while, Hatake Sakumo spoke softly to Tachibana:

"Tachibana, you know what! The two ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village that you killed tonight were both jonin!"

Nodding, Ju admitted straightforwardly:

"I know, and I feel like they're very weak. A ninja at the level of a Jonin shouldn't be my match."

"Hmm!!!" Hatake Sakumo's pupils shrank for a moment, and he took a deep breath of oxygen. What on earth was his little brother saying that was so shocking? ?

Even the jonin isn't your match?

Has the orange become so floating...

If I remember correctly, as the eldest brother of Tachibana, his current ninja rating seems to be a jonin!

Although Hatake Sakumo believes that his strength has already opened up a large gap between him and ordinary jonin, the jonin rating is already the highest level among ninjas!

If even the jonin can't be your opponent, then who do you think can be your opponent, the Third Hokage?

Hatake Sakumo just roared madly in his heart...

After calming down for a while, Hatake Sakumo was no longer in a hurry to verify the truth, but instead began to think.

How should I report what happened tonight to the third generation?

Is it to report the intelligence truthfully?

But when Hatake Sakumo looked at his younger brother who still looked like a teenager beside him, Hatake Sakumo immediately thought of himself and his busy and dangerous ninja missions...

"Alas!" Hatake Sakumo just sighed lightly. He had already made up his mind. Hatake Sakumo did not want the Third Hokage to know about what happened tonight.

It's not that I don't trust the Third Hokage, but I think he would use Tachibana as a pawn or something.

Hatake Sakumo was just acting out of his instinct as an older brother. He didn't want the young Tachibana to accept those overly cruel ninja missions at such an early age.

Even though Ju's strength may have surpassed his.

But Hatake Sakumo was still unwilling to do so. After all, he really knew the cruel fate of being a ninja!

And now, if Tachibana, who possesses such strength, can be allowed to slowly accumulate strength starting from being a Genin, then Tachibana's ninja career will surely be exceptionally smooth, right?

If my father and mother were still alive, they would definitely support me!

Thinking of this, Hatake Sakumo became more determined in his thoughts.

...

Patting his little brother on the shoulder, Hatake Sakumo advised earnestly:

"Tachibana, you must not let anyone else know that you think you are stronger than a jonin. If it is not absolutely necessary, Tachibana, you should just be as restrained as before!"

"Don't be too exaggerated! Remember..."

But Hatake Sakumo, who originally wanted to say a few more words to persuade his younger brother, was interrupted by Tachibana's very straightforward reply.

"Brother, I can do anything! As long as you can suppress what happened tonight, I'm not a child anymore. I won't take the initiative to show off."

Looking at the extremely calm little brother in front of him, Hatake Sakumo also calmed down instantly.

Yes!

This little brother of his is not a rash person. To be honest, it has been so many years.

In daily life, it seems that it is Ju who takes care of him more...

This situation did not begin to change until two years ago, when he married Yumiko.

And to be honest, if Yumiko hadn't reminded him, he would have overlooked this point... Looking at Tachibana in front of him, Hatake Sakumo only had relief in his eyes.

Orange has really grown up...

-

A week later, after completing today's farm work (D-level task).

The trio of Hatake Tachibana, Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina all had a look of relief.

Do you know how they got here this week?

Catching cats, walking dogs, exterminating rats, plowing fields, harvesting vegetables... I did a lot of these D-level tasks.

In short, apart from fighting, there is nothing else to do.

Tachibana was already planning to send his shadow clones over tomorrow, luckily that unreliable guy Jiraiya had already told them this morning.

Starting tomorrow, I won't let them take D-level missions. This damn D-level mission, I'm going to vomit if I keep doing it...

Well, as for the kidnapping of them by the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village a week ago, it had been settled by his good brother, Hatake Sakumo, the captain of the Anbu nicknamed Konoha White Fang, the right-hand man of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In fact, Hatake Sakumo didn't do much, he just slightly diverted the direction of the investigation, mainly about why these two Kumogakure ninjas had such detailed information about Konoha Village.

And why were there so few Anbu ninjas nearby when the incident happened...

When Hatake Sakumo investigated in this direction, our Lord Nabekage was in a panic. Of course, it was difficult for him to catch Shimura Danzo.

It's just a little trouble.
