Chapter 141 Minato’s Characteristics Beyond His Strength
Minato's sudden appearance completely surprised Hagoromo.
So at this time, he was still quite depressed. It was not that he had any resentment towards Minato's appearance. After all, he was here to help, but this could not hide the fact that the cooked duck had already flown away.
Still a big duck... Well, this way of describing it is a bit awkward, young duck?
As for Hagoromo's slightly persecuted paranoia and the belief that he was under surveillance, this unreliable conjecture was only fleeting, and its irrationality directly denied this possibility.
He is a well-established Third Generation sect, and he has no anti-ninja, anti-Japanese, or anti-Konoha tendencies. Not only does he work conscientiously every time he performs a mission, but at least he hasn't messed up anything, and Konoha can't do it. Keep an eye on him.
Besides, even if you were to spy on someone, would you need to use a ninja of Minato's level? Especially in this period when combat power is precious?
To put it bluntly, only in peacetime can you have time to engage in internal fighting. This is the legendary thing that you can survive when you are full. Now at this time, external pressure is overwhelming. The proud Uchiha has to go to the battlefield obediently. He can die. It all depends on his ability, and Danzo, who always wants to make big news, has to keep the bad water in his bladder.
As for the Mark of the Flying Thunder God on Hagoromo's body, well, let's keep it for now. Maybe it can be used to save lives someday. Minato rarely does bad things, but this time there is a one-in-ten thousand chance that Hagoromo will catch him. Just got on.
"An enemy that allows you to use such a move against an enemy must be quite extraordinary..."
"Hagoromo, please introduce the situation here."
After some turbulent emotions calmed down, Minato immediately asked about the situation here.
"Minato-senpai met Kakashi before?" Hagoromo didn't answer Minato's question immediately, but asked instead.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Minato would fly directly to him...
So Kakashi moved very quickly.
"Yes, he is now bringing the news to Lord Orochimaru on the island. I have already heard what he said in general... I was originally not far from here, and I happened to meet Kakashi on the sea." Minato said.
Not only did Hagoromo begin a collective evacuation after suspecting Kirigakure received the signal, Minato also had the same idea, which is why he came to this side of the sea to search, and that's why he met Kakashi so quickly.
"Previously, Kakashi and I did catch up with the ninjas gathered by Kirigakure. A rough visual inspection showed that among them..." Hagoromo reported the names of the ninjas he had identified earlier.
"Basically, the enemy's strength is above the elite Jonin..." After Minato heard these names, he immediately made this judgment.
"Yes, so we did not get too close to the enemy at that time, but chose to retreat directly... However, our whereabouts were still exposed for some reason, so the Kirigakure ninjas came to pursue us. Considering that the ninjas who came to pursue us might be one of the enemies. The strongest among them, so I asked Kakashi to take the information back temporarily, and then stay alone to face the enemy."
Hagoromo continued, "Facts have proven that my judgment was correct. The enemy chasing after me is probably Kirigakure's Yagura."
As he spoke, he also tried to wave the weapon left by the enemy.
Minato's eyes turned to that special ninja tool. This thing, similar to a unique weapon, could indeed help confirm the identity of the user.
"This weapon... really should belong to Yagura." Minato said. If the identity of the enemy was this person, he would probably understand why Hagoromo used such a move.
"That move of yours... Raizono Shigekuni..." Minato seemed to want to say something, but he stopped talking.
He was actually just sorry that such a ninjutsu already had a name.
Let's put it this way, Minato is a bad namer.
There is nothing wrong with that in itself, everyone has things they are good at and things they are not good at.
But he also has a naming habit.
The combination of these two things is a bit fatal.
Fortunately, Hagoromo chose the name at random, otherwise what if Minato named the railgun "Armstrong Spiral Acceleration Armstrong Cannon"?
At this time, Minato finally understood that his sudden appearance actually caused Hagoromo to miss an excellent opportunity to eliminate a powerful enemy.
It's a pity that the opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back.
After Minato arrived here, Hagoromo's attack missed, and the release of "Thunder Release" was stopped to prevent accidental damage, Yagura instantly merged into the sea water and disappeared.
It was impossible for Yuromo to sense the enemy's whereabouts, but it was expected that he would not come back, and he should have simply escaped.
Minato's impressive appearance, as well as his yellow hair and other physical features, were enough to scare away Yagura.
Under normal circumstances, when Yagura is in full condition, he probably wouldn't mind trying to fight the rumored golden flash, but at this time, because of the last attack, he has already recognized that Hagoromo has the same strength as himself. , if we add the famous Namikaze Minato, can he win? It was impossible anyway, so he sized up the situation and chose to run away.
"Minato-senpai, what should we do now?" Hagoromo asked.
Although Minato did not have the authority to command the overall operation, it was clearly his decision at this time.
In Minato's eyes, Hagoromo played with Yagura's weapon a few more times, and then he probably felt it was too uncomfortable, so he threw the thing into the ditch again...
Minato's eyelids twitched unconsciously.
Congratulations to Konoha Chuunin Shiraishi Hagoromo for earning the title "Ninja Tool Abandoner".
In fact, for Hagoromo, he will kill the enemy if he can, and kill with force if he can. But he doesn't force him if he can't kill him, and he doesn't feel it's a pity if the enemy runs away... Essentially, he is not lacking in motivation, but The purpose is unclear.
To quell troubled times? To achieve peace? To be honest, he hadn't thought much about this kind of thing, because he always felt that it was someone else's task. For him at this time, being a ninja was just like clocking in to work.
This understanding will last until he experiences certain changes before it changes.
Facing Hagoromo's problem, Minato was also a little conflicted. In fact, it was almost obvious what happened to Byakugan at this time, and the mission could be ended here.
The Byakugan has always been in the hands of the same ninja. He was a Kirigakure detective ninja named Ao. It was he who launched the final blow against the ninjas of the Hyuga clan, and it was he who then returned to Kirigakure with the Byakugan after receiving the precious trophies. he.
Minato thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Hagoromo, you return to the Country of Whirlpool, and I will go and take a look at the situation ahead."
He still decided to go forward to investigate, but there was basically no possibility of further fighting, so there was no need to bring Hagoromo with him.
As for Minato himself, no matter what kind of enemy he faces, he can choose to leave at any time.
