Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 23: Tsunade is too idle, let her move

The next day, as Hinata Yu expected, Uchiha Yamaru took a leave of absence and did not come.

Shadow clones will cause cumulative fatigue. He has been practicing physical skills since he was young, and he only dares to use five clones for training at most. Uchiha Yamaru's operation can only be said to be courting death.

Not everyone is Naruto, who has the physical bonus of the Uzumaki clan and the Nine-Tails Chakra as a guarantee.

In the morning, with the help of Kushina's Nine-Tails Chakra, he was fine in his training, and he could even create more clones.

But after tasting the sweetness, Uchiha Yamaru obviously did not increase his attempts at all after returning home, but directly created the largest number of clones to practice.

And then...he lay dead.

For a few days, no one took it seriously at first, thinking that Uchiha Yamaru was in trouble, and Minato's clone couldn't help but offer to go and visit him.

I didn't expect to get such an answer from Yu.

"I warned him."

Hinata Yu faced Minato's shadow clone and explained calmly, "But he didn't listen."

"..."

Yaowan looked at your calm and indifferent expression, it would be strange if he could listen to you, he would just remain unconvinced and maintain practicing with more clones than you.

Minato smiled and shook his head, "You will be members of a team from now on, so get along well with each other."

"I don't think I ever provoked him." Hinata Yu said, "I just stated the facts."

"..." Minato was silent again.

Strictly speaking, that's true, but your expression and the facts are the biggest provocation to him.

"I didn't expect that Yu has an interesting personality." Kushina laughed secretly at the side, "I think he can handle Kakashi."

Glancing at Kushina, Hinata Yu said nothing.

Everyone is disguising themselves to some extent and wearing a mask all the time, but he doesn't feel tired.

But occasionally showing your true self can gain more trust.

Because when a person shows a different side of himself in front of another person, it means that he has opened up part of his heart to that person.

And sincerity... is the best weapon.

However, he did not deny that it was easy to get along with the Minato couple and the Pill, especially the latter.

In this ninja world where cannibalism is everywhere, Uchiha Yamaru, who always wants to defeat him, seems very naive.

Because he is upright.

"Kakashi..."

Thinking of his disciple, Minato's shadow clone's eyes dimmed a little. His gaze fell on Hinata Yu and he changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, there is something I haven't asked for your opinions on yet. My Shadow Guard will be a standard three-person team. What do you think of the other person?"

"Lord Minato, the Shadow Guard is the team that protects your safety. You don't need to consult our opinions." Hinata Yu frowned.

"The problem is that there aren't many suitable candidates among Konoha's current Jonin and Special Jonin. I've already selected them once."

Although he fooled the advisor with the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato really hasn't found a suitable person among the younger generations of Konoha.

That’s right, junior.

The prerequisite for him to find the Shadow Guards is that they must be ninjas under the age of 16.

Flying Thunder God has great strategic significance, and Minato also wants to leave a legacy for Konoha. Originally, he planned to teach it directly to his disciples Kakashi and Obito.

However, the latter died in battle and the former became depressed.

This plan has to be interrupted.

So he planned to teach the younger generations of Konoha, and also put his mind at ease.

Minato: "You and Yamaru both have great talents. If the third person is too bad, it will be inappropriate from all angles."

In his mind, Yu and Yamaru will be the backbone of the village in the future and the elites among the jonin.

If the gap between the third person and him is too big, the sense of disappointment in the future will overwhelm him.

"Do you want to train younger generations?"

Hinata Yu understood Minato's thoughts and reminded him directly: "After your name of Yellow Flash spread throughout the ninja world, many of Konoha's jonin wanted to learn Flying Thunder God."

"But until now, no ninja has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. Yamaru and I haven't mastered it either."

"In that case, why can't we choose other directions for training? Yaowan and I don't know any medical ninjutsu. If you get hurt, Hokage, we won't be able to treat you."

"If the third person is a medical ninja, it will surely be of great help as well."

Minato fell into deep thought. Hinata Yu's idea was a standard four-man team configuration.

It’s just that the captain has become him, the Hokage.

The members include two jonin and one medical ninja. Hinata Yu also has the ability to perceive.

A very complete team.

Seeing Minato thinking, Hinata Yu continued:
"Moreover, if it is a medical ninja with extraordinary combat power, this team will have no obvious weaknesses. Now Konoha's strongest medical ninja is in the village, and it should be possible to train him."

"Anyway... Lady Tsunade seems to be free too. I saw her staying in the izakaya for the whole afternoon yesterday."

"Izakaya? For an afternoon?"

Before Minato could react, Kushina had narrowed her eyes and looked at Yu thoughtfully, "How did you know that?"

"It's just that I walked past that street twice that afternoon for something, and I saw she was always there." Yu remained calm.

"is it?"

She looked at him with a half-smile, but it was completely useless facing this expressionless man. Kushina could only look away speechlessly and turned to look at Minato's shadow clone.

"You arranged Kakashi to join the Anbu and take care of him by your side, but Rin is a bit difficult to deal with, right? Why not let her go to Tsunade-sama to learn from her?"

"She has always blamed herself for dragging down Obito and Kakashi."

"Um……"

Minato's shadow clone pondered in silence, then suddenly turned into white smoke and disappeared, leaving only one sentence lingering in the air.

"I will pass the news to the main body and discuss with the advisor to see if we can allow Lady Tsunade to reopen the medical class."

For a moment, only Kushina and Hinata Yu were left at the scene.

The former looked at the latter and suddenly smiled kindly and sincerely.

"I think the reason why you and Yaowan failed to comprehend Flying Thunder God is because you have no pressure. Let me help you."

Mikoto took her son to the battlefield to find Fugaku. Minato didn't come home often because of work, so she was already bored and anxious.

Now that Minato's shadow clone is not here, it's time for me to fulfill my responsibilities as an elder.

Looking at Kushina whose smile became increasingly presumptuous and whose body was glowing with golden light, Hinata Yu calmly raised two fingers.

"untie!"

--boom!

Hinata Yu instantly turned into white smoke like Minato's shadow clone, leaving only a piece of white paper with words written on it falling to the ground.

Kushina was stunned, and walked forward in disbelief, picked up the note and started reading it.

It would be very difficult to hide the use of shadow clones from her and Minato.

"Minato-sama, Kushina-sama, I'm sorry, I have some new insights into the Gentle Fist, please allow me to use my Shadow Clone for today's training."

"So it was a shadow clone from the beginning..."

Sighing helplessly, Kushina didn't think there was anything wrong with Yu doing this.

Flying Thunder God focuses on skills and experience. He can use his clones to learn, but his physical skills must be improved with his original body.

She put the note away, paused her gaze at a corner, and walked towards the village.

I have to spend half a day alone again.

Except that the surveillance and protection personnel were replaced by some people she was familiar with due to Minato's arrangement, other aspects seemed to remain unchanged.

After all, the people who control Konoha are still the ninja clans and high-ranking officials.

Although Minato received some support from the two clans because of Hinata Yu and Uchiha Yamaru, the Uchiha and Hinata clans had been outside the core of the village for many years and their help was limited.

The power of Hokage could never be fully taken back into his hands.

"The third generation is really a hands-off manager."

Kushina muttered.

Although the Third Hokage gave up the position of Hokage to Minato, Kushina instinctively had no good feelings towards him.

Since you have abdicated, why can't you dismiss those advisors and Hokage assistants?
To put it bluntly, is it right to keep a group of old people to disperse Watergate?

These were all the older generation of Konoha, and Minato was in no position to handle them based on either his achievements or seniority, so he had to listen to their opinions on everything.

Although she didn't know much about this kind of thing, Kushina knew that if the Hokage didn't have enough power, it would be a recipe for disaster!
