The Master of Konoha's Legacy

"Boom."

Kakashi instantly turned into smoke, which was also a clone.

"Looks like you guys are working together quite well," Minato Namikaze said in the deserted open space, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over two patches of grass.

"Whoosh~"

Suddenly, four fuma shurikens shot out from the jungle, coming from four different directions.

Does it also come with special ninja tools?

Minato Namikaze remained unfazed. As the Fuma Shuriken approached, he lightly jumped, stomping with both feet, each step landing precisely on the center of the shuriken.

He dodged the four Wind Demon Shuriken at just the right moment.

Minato Namikaze, who had leaped into the air, began to fall under the influence of gravity, but when he fell to a point parallel to the Fuma Shuriken...

Minato Namikaze was surprised to find that these Fuma Shuriken were all connected to chakra wires.

Moreover, these chakra wires are contracting, and if I land like this, I will immediately be entangled by them.

That's a brilliant tactic.

Thinking of this, Minato Namikaze casually pulled out a kunai and slashed at the chakra wire.

Although it cannot be cut, it can use kinetic energy to accelerate its descent.

At this moment, in the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi was using his telescope technique to watch the Minato team's assessment.

"As expected, Kakashi and Tunan have both reached the Chunin level."

It would be a waste to only assign D-rank missions to a squad like this.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his cigarette, and suddenly his eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Oh? So he's also learned Lightning Release. It seems this kid's ninjutsu talent is even higher than I thought."

On the other side, Minato Namikaze continuously slashed at the chakra wires, freeing his body from its bound state.

Just as Minato Namikaze was about to hit the ground.

Kakashi emerged from the soil below, his face cold and stern.

With his right hand, he thrust the short blade at Minato Namikaze's arm, while simultaneously reaching out with his left hand to grab the bell hanging at Minato's waist.

Minato Namikaze smiled slightly and swung his kunai downwards with his right hand.

"Clang~"

Kakashi used his short blade to block the kunai, then thrust it forward with force.

Minato Namikaze flew back into the sky.

"Lightning Escape, Earth Walk".

"Crackling and popping~"

It was only then that Minato Namikaze realized that the Fuma Shuriken had not landed on the ground, but had instead embedded itself in the surrounding tree trunks.

Furthermore, several kunai connected to chakra wires were suspended from various directions on the previously erected chakra wires, forming a net.

Right now, Minato Namikaze has a net of lightning above his head.

Seeing that Minato Namikaze was about to walk right into the trap, Kakashi's lips curled up slightly beneath his mask.

Uchiha Tonan strained his Sharingan to observe the movement of chakra within Namikaze Minato's body.

This is the original body, and there has been no sign of it using the Substitute Technique so far.

Minato Namikaze shouldn't be this weak.

Throughout the entire process, Uchiha Tonan was assisting Kakashi and did not reveal too much of his strength.

Minato Namikaze may be young, but he's definitely more than that.

Suddenly, Uchiha Tonan's pupils contracted slightly.

"The assessment is over, you have passed."

Minato Namikaze appeared atop a Fuma Shuriken, looking down at the two below with an appreciative gaze, and said:

"This assessment mainly tested your teamwork skills, and your performance far exceeded my expectations."

"If it weren't for your insufficient mission records, your strength alone would be enough to make you Chunin."

Have you learned the Flying Thunder God Technique so early?

Uchiha Tonan narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled, and bowed to Namikaze Minato:

"Minato-sensei, you flatter me. In a real battle, Kakashi and I would have been defeated long ago."

Minato Namikaze scratched the back of his head and said:

"After all, I am a Jonin. When you reach my age, you may be much stronger than me."

Alright, to celebrate the formation of Class 9, I'll treat you all to ramen.

Kakashi expressionlessly sheathed his short blade and glanced at Uchiha Tonan.

To be honest, Kakashi didn't want to eat ramen. Having failed to snag the bell this time, Kakashi was eager to get back to training and improve his strength.

However, Uchiha Tonan said happily, "Then Kakashi and I won't stand on ceremony."

Kakashi shrugged indifferently when he saw that Uchiha Tonan had agreed.

"There's still half an hour until lunchtime. You guys go to the newly opened Ichiraku Ramen on the commercial street first. I'm going to pick someone up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato Namikaze disappeared from their sight.

[Chapter 41. Nine-Tailed Fox's Warning Leads to an Unpleasant Ending]

noon.

Kakashi and Uchiha Tonan sat in Ichiraku Ramen waiting for Minato Namikaze.

Uchiha Tonan looked around at the layout of Ichiraku Ramen.

However, it was rather ordinary and even a bit rustic.

As for what netizens in my previous life said about Otsutsuki Ichiraku and the like.

Uchiha Tonan had no intention of exploring further.

If it's fake, that's fine, but if it's real, then you're just asking for trouble.

Soon, Minato Namikaze arrived at Ichiraku Ramen, accompanied by a female ninja wearing a green vest and with a full head of red hair.

Minato Namikaze pointed to the female ninja next to him and introduced her: "Tunan, Kakashi, let me introduce you. This is Kushina Uzumaki."

However, Kushina was not reserved at all and was very outgoing.

He shoved Minato Namikaze aside, rushed up to Kakashi and Uchiha Tonan, and curiously looked them up and down:

"Is this the rumored new generation genius of Konoha?"

Hello, I'm Kushina Uzumaki.

Kakashi simply nodded indifferently.

Uchiha Tonan glanced at Uzumaki Kushina and smiled gently, "Hello, my name is Uchiha Tonan, and I am a disciple of Minato-sensei."

Minato Namikaze scratched his head with a smile and said, "Have a seat."

"Is everyone here? What would you like to eat?" Tada walked out of the kitchen and handed the menu to everyone.

Kushina raised her hand and shouted, "Large tonkotsu ramen!"

He glanced at Minato Namikaze and added, "Two bowls."

Uchiha Tonan didn't look at the menu, but simply smiled and said:

"Me too, but please use less seasoning."

I personally prefer lighter food, thank you for your help.

Kakashi said calmly, "I'm the same as him."

"Okay." Shou Da nodded, put away the menu, and walked towards the kitchen.

Before long, four bowls of delicious-looking tonkotsu ramen were placed in front of the four people.

"I'll start eating first." Kushina couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks and take the lead in eating.

Suddenly, the Nine-Tails' voice echoed in Kushina's mind.

"Kushina."

"Hmm, what's wrong with Kurama?"

"I sensed that the brat harbored deep-seated evil intentions."

Upon hearing this, Kushina stopped holding her chopsticks and then quietly shifted her gaze to Kakashi.

At this moment, the Nine-Tails within him reminded him: "It's not that white-haired one, it's that Uchiha brat."

Kushina frowned as she watched Uchiha Tonan, who was eating slowly and deliberately, and thought to herself:

"Are you kidding me? Tu Nan looks just as gentle as Minato."

"My senses are not wrong; his evil chakra makes me very uncomfortable."

But compared to the evil thoughts in his heart, it's nothing.

He looked over.

"What's wrong, senior? Is there something on my face?"

Uchiha Tonan stared at Kushina with a puzzled look on his face, while pulling out a tissue and wiping his face.

That look in your eyes is really strange.

After Kushina dies, will I be able to inherit the power of the tailed beast within her?

That is a problem. If it can be inherited, wouldn't it be possible to kill a few more Jinchuriki and become a natural Ten-Tails?

If it could be reinforced cyclically...

Thinking of this, a strange meaning flashed in Uchiha Tonan's eyes as he looked at Kushina.
