The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

This person was none other than Minato Namikaze.

When the servants led Minato to the yard where Souji was staying, Minato noticed Souji's unusual dress at the first sight.

"This? Cangsi, what happened? What's wrong with you?" The scene in front of him left Minato dumbfounded.

It is now the end of March and almost April, and Cang Si is actually wearing winter clothes, covered with a blanket, with a heater lit next to him, lying in the sun, leisurely drinking tea, and eating fruits and cakes.

For a moment, Minato thought he was in the wrong place, had entered the wrong door, and saw someone he didn't recognize.

Now

It can be said that the image of Tsukasa is completely different from the impression that Minato has!

In the past, every time Minato came to find Souji, as long as Souji was in his original form, he would definitely have been training all the time.

What's going on today?

Have you started retirement so early?

Minato's mind was in a mess for a moment.

"This is definitely not the Souji I know!" This thought popped up in Minato's mind.

However, Souji still had no idea what Minato was thinking.

After all, the lazy life he had been leading during this period of time had made Cang Si's entire nerves lazy.

The kind of person who can lie down but never stand, who can open his mouth but never stretch out his hands, and who can close his eyes but never roll his eyes around.

"Hey, Minato, long time no see. Didn't the Hokage assign you any tasks today? How come you have time to come and see me?" It was not until Minato walked close to Cangsi and blocked part of the sunlight in the sky that Cangsi slowly opened his eyes and said lazily.

After saying that, Cang Si also wrapped the blanket around himself a little tighter.

Minato was stunned for a long time, and only came back to his senses after hearing what Cang Si said.

"Cang Si, are you okay?" Minato asked after looking at Cang Si with a hint of worry in his eyes.

After asking this question, Minato glanced at the fireplace next to him and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"Am I under an illusion?" Minato fell into self-doubt.

"Well, you can tell from my expression, something must have happened..." Souji didn't want to hide his situation from Minato.

Moreover, after resting for such a long time, Cang Si also felt satisfied. He felt that he could not continue to be so decadent.

In short, Cang Si now just wants to find a way to solve his problem as soon as possible.

If this drags on for another half a year or so, Cang Si is afraid that his bones will rust.

"What happened, Cang Si, is there anything I can help you with?" Minato is always the most gentle. After Cang Si admitted that he had a problem, the first thing he thought of was to help, and he even forgot the original purpose of coming to Cang Si.

After straightening up from the recliner, Souji considered how to explain to Minato.

And Minato just kept looking at Souji quietly.

"Well, about half a month ago, there was a little accident when I was developing ninjutsu, which caused the ice escape to go out of control, and finally hurt my soul..." After sighing helplessly, Cang Si told him about his experience during this period.

"How could that be? Although there are certain risks in developing new ninjutsu, how could one allow one's soul to be damaged?" Minato asked with his eyes wide open, looking incredulous.

"I wanted to integrate the power of Yin Escape into Ice Escape so that my Ice Escape would have the ability to harm the enemy's soul, but I didn't expect to hurt myself." Having said that, Cang Si touched the back of his head awkwardly.

After listening to Souji's explanation, Minato couldn't bear to look at it and covered his cheek with his right hand.

"Cang Si, I can only say that you are really brave. You dare to do such a thing." At this moment, Minato didn't know what to say to Cang Si.

Although I have always known that Cang Si likes to stir up trouble.

But he always thought that Cang Si was very sensible and would only interfere in other people's affairs. He didn't expect that this time he would even interfere in his own affairs.

Are they having so much fun that they can't tell friend from foe?

"Hahaha, what an accident, what an accident. I didn't expect that I would be the one who got caught in the end." Cang Si gave an awkward but polite smile.

Souji's smile was greeted by Minato's fierce glare.

This also made Cang Si shrink his neck subconsciously.

Minato usually doesn't get angry, but if the time comes for him to get angry, the consequences will be serious.

"The power of Yin Release plus Ice Release, no wonder it can cause damage to people's souls. If it succeeds, I believe your strength will be improved to a higher level." Seeing Cangsi's retreating eyes, Minato did not say any more words of blame.

"Yes, yes, that's what I thought." Cang Si nodded vigorously.

"But you failed." Minato glanced at Cangsi

Then he sighed.

Minato used the calmest tone and said the cruelest words to Souji.

"Puff! Minato, can't you be more tactful in your words?" Cang Si felt as if Minato had stabbed him hard in the heart.

After saying this, Cang Si exaggeratedly stretched out his hands and covered his chest.

"I'm just stating a fact." Minato already knew Souji's character very well, so he didn't care what Souji did.

"Okay, okay, but I won't give up. Hiss, it's so cold." Cang Si first declared that he would never give up, and then, as the blanket slipped off, Cang Si couldn't help but gasp.

Although the air nowadays doesn't seem very cold, the coldness comes from the soul.

"Cang Si, you guy, I knew you would say that. You are not yourself if you give up so easily. It was the same when you awakened Ice Escape." Having said this, Minato also recalled how Cang Si once desperately wanted to awaken Ice Escape.

Cang Si at that time was exactly the same as he is now!

For the sake of strength, he is willing to injure his own body.

However, when Cang Si awakened the Ice Escape, he only suffered some external injuries, not even internal injuries.

Now, he has directly skipped the stage of physical injuries and reached the stage of spiritual injuries.

The gap in between is not as simple as just crossing two steps.

The soul is the foundation of a person. Even if the body of many people dies, the soul can still survive.

Orochimaru is a typical example. His Reincarnation Technique allows his soul to reincarnate again and again.

As long as he has a suitable body, Orochimaru cannot die unless his soul is destroyed.

Also, the legendary Sage of Six Paths also gave up his physical body and let his soul wander in the ninja world.

Even just giving his own power to Naruto and Sasuke would allow them to seal Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

Therefore, in the ninja world, a person's soul is definitely more important than the body!

"I don't want to either, but if I don't have enough power, how can I change the cruel future?" Looking at Minato seriously, Cang Si said this with a melancholy look on his face.

When Minato heard what Soji said about changing the future, he thought about himself, Uzumaki Kushina, and Uchiha En.

"Cang Si, actually, you don't have to work so hard. It would be best if the future can be changed. If it really can't be changed, then you can only let nature take its course." Minato said with a complicated look in his eyes.

Cang Si shook his head and did not continue talking about this topic.

There are many things hidden in Cangsi's heart, some of which he can tell Minato, but there are some that he can only bear alone.

"Forget it, just be sensible." In the end, Minato chose to respect Cangsi's decision and no longer interfere with Cangsi's determination to become stronger and integrate Yin Release into Ice Release.

"Ah, don't worry. At least I won't do anything rash until my body recovers." Cang Si said with a smile.

In order to save the Minato couple, Uchiha En, and to be able to control his own destiny in the future, Cang Si will not give up any hope of becoming stronger!

Even if more effort and sweat are required in the process, it cannot stop Cang Si's steps.

"Fuck, it's so damn cold!"

But now, the problem of frostbite of the soul must be solved first.

Chapter 197 Looking for Tsunade

After shivering, Cang Si pulled the blanket around him tighter again.

"By the way, Minato, you haven't told me why you came here to see someone today?" Cang Si asked after wrapping his whole body tightly.

At this time, Minato finally reacted and realized that he seemed to have forgotten the purpose of his visit to Souji.

"Sorry, I was shocked to see you like this, Soji, so I forgot about it." Minato said a little embarrassedly.

This is actually normal. After all, if Souji goes to see Minato one day and sees Minato dressed the same way as Souji is now, Souji's reaction will not be very good.

"It's okay, let's talk about my soul problem later. It will recover slowly anyway." Cang Si said indifferently.

Even if there is no cure, Cang Si is not too worried about his problem. He thinks it will be fine in about half a year at most.

For Souji, he was still quite curious about the reason why Minato was looking for him.

"Soji, Lady Tsunade has left." After thinking about what he was about to do, Minato's face became solemn.

"Huh? Leave? What do you mean?" Cang Si didn't react for a moment, what exactly did Minato mean.

"Tsunade-sama has developed a fear of blood, and now she can no longer stay on the battlefield to command the Konoha ninjas to fight." Minato continued to explain.

After Minato finished speaking, Souji's expression froze for a moment, and then he fell into deep thought.

In fact, Cang Si had already thought that this day would come, but the timing was just too coincidental.

Tsunade's departure from Konoha officially meant that Konoha's strength in the original work began to decline.

Starting with Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraiya will also leave Konoha one after another in the next few years.

"So, Minato, you are going to the battlefield, right?" Cang Si asked.

"Yes." Minato nodded in response.

"Which battlefield?"

"Kirigakure!"

Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in Cang Si's eyes.

It seems that Minato came to find him not just because he wanted to command a battlefield, Cang Si thought in his heart.

"What do you need me to do?" Cang Si asked calmly.

After looking at Souji, Minato didn't know whether he should continue speaking.

If there was nothing wrong with Souji's soul, Minato was going to ask Souji for help.

However, now Cang Si's soul has been frozen, and it is unknown whether it will cause any serious impact on Cang Si's body.

In this case, Minato actually felt that there was no need for him to continue dragging Cangsi into the water.

"Hey, Minato, we are friends. No matter what the matter is, since you have come to me, you should at least make things clear." Cang Si said helplessly.

Souji also knew why Minato had this reaction.

It's nothing more than that he saw that I was not feeling well and didn't want to trouble myself.

"Okay, I understand." Minato hesitated for a long time, and seeing Cang Si's expression that he must know the whole story, he finally decided to tell it.

"That's right. If you don't tell me, I promise that next time I need help, I will go to that guy Yan instead of you, Minato." Cang Si said as if it was a matter of course.

Souji's words also made Minato laugh and cry.

However, Minato also believed that Souji would definitely do what he said.

“In fact, I want you to use Mizunotsuki Jin’s identity to work with me from the inside and outside to wipe out Kirigakure’s manpower in one fell swoop.

Now, Lady Tsunade has disappeared after leaving the battlefield, and the war is developing in a direction that is unfavorable to our Konoha.

If this continues, Konoha may fail in this war, and even if it wins, it may be a pyrrhic victory!

Therefore, the top priority is to defeat a ninja village first.

Based on the information I got from you, Souji, I think this ninja village must be Kirigakure.

Of course, all this is based on the premise that you can still make a move.”

Minato told him what he wanted to ask Souji to do, as well as the serious situation of Konoha in the Third Ninja World War.

The formula was spoken out.

After that, Minato just looked at Souji quietly, waiting for a reply.

"Minato, I understand what you mean." After listening to Minato's words, Cang Si nodded, directly lifted the blanket covering his body, and stood up from the recliner.

At this moment, there was no sign of Cang Si's weakness or frostbite of the soul, if we excluded the thick winter clothes that Cang Si was wearing.

However, this little bit of coldness was still bearable for Cang Si.
