Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it

"Why do I still need to go?"

Faced with Shingetsu Seiun's question, Namikaze Minato calmly closed the document in front of him and explained.

"This mission requires me to stay by the Daimyo's side. Ordinary Jonin are not qualified to handle such an important task, so you are the most suitable."

Minato Namikaze said, "Don't worry, the reward for the mission is very generous."

Shenyue Xingyun doesn't care about mission rewards!

He's in the Anbu now; once the office door is closed, he wouldn't trade it for the Hokage title. If there's anything, the Anbu squad leader will handle it; if there's nothing, Uzuki Yuhi will come to help him. It's like living the life of a god.

But it's different when you're on a mission outside the office.

Especially accompanying the daimyo, it doesn't sound like an easy job.

"Lord Hokage, I think the younger ninjas need more training through missions."

Shingetsu Seiun tried to dissuade Minato Namikaze from his idea: "I think Kakashi is quite good."

"He's young, energetic, and most importantly, quite capable. Why don't we let him go?"

Minato Namikaze raised his eyelids slightly, his expression unchanged.

Looking at the serious-looking Shingetsu Seiun, he thought to himself: You seem to be only two years older than Kakashi, right? The latter even graduated earlier.

How dare you say the word 'young'?

“No, Kakashi’s strength is not enough to oversee such a mission.” Minato Namikaze shook his head and rejected Seiun Kamizuki’s suggestion. He emphasized, “Missions related to the Daimyo are always the most important, and they even affect Konoha’s funding for the following year.”

"Therefore, this mission cannot be completed without you. As for Kakashi, I have other plans."

Shingetsu Seiun glanced at the calm-looking Minato Namikaze.

understood.

I understand.

You just want me to go on a business trip, right?

Oh man.

Minato Namikaze met his gaze defiantly. He thought to himself: I'll make sure you get as far away from this village as possible!

This mission to accompany the daimyo wasn't even initiated by the daimyo himself; rather, it was the daimyo who, upon learning the news, offered to assist him by saying that there was a very talented young ninja in the village who could help him with this mission.

His only goal was to keep Shinzuki Nebula as far away from him and Uzumaki Kushina as possible.

Distance creates a sense of security.

Only when Shingetsu Seiun leaves the village can he sit comfortably in the Hokage's office chair; otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease leaving the house.

"In that case... alright then." Shingetsu Nebula accepted the task.

There was nothing he could do; he was now the captain of the Anbu, and he couldn't refuse the mission assigned by the Hokage.

Especially at this crucial moment when Minato Namikaze had just stirred up tension.

Going away for a while will also help Minato Namikaze relieve some of his tension.

Shenyue Xingyun asked, "Is the mission just for me? Are there any other people going?"

Minato Namikaze: "There are also six special Jonin."

"You'll be in charge of unification then."

"You lead the team and set off as soon as possible."

Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "How about this, I'll leave tomorrow afternoon."

"There's also a personal matter."

Minato Namikaze felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

Private matters?

What private matters could you possibly have?

"No! We can't keep the daimyo waiting. We have to leave tonight. It's only morning now. You have plenty of time to deal with whatever needs to be done."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Alright."

He was just saying it casually.

According to his guess, once he gave the reason that he had "some personal matters," Minato Namikaze's progress in returning home using the Flying Thunder God Technique should be pushed forward a bit more.

However, his plan failed!

That afternoon, Minato Namikaze took half a day off, citing the reason that "Kushina is not feeling well and needs care."

He didn't go to work all afternoon!

The others didn't seem to think anything of it, but they were a little surprised that the Hokage had started taking leave recently. Only Genma Shiranui, who knew a bit of the inside story, was filled with emotion.

The Hokage was forced into this situation.

As evening fell, Shingetsu Seiun, having settled his personal matters, left Konoha with his team. Shiranui Genma, who had been keeping watch on the barrier team, confirmed the result and immediately ran to Namikaze Minato's house, imitating three bird calls.

Inside the room, Minato Namikaze, who had been listening absentmindedly to Kushina Uzumaki, suddenly relaxed.

gone.

That guy is finally gone.

Kushina Uzumaki, standing to the side, showed a displeased expression.

"Hey!~"

Why are you so distracted today? Did you even hear what I was saying?

"Um... I'm sorry, Kushina." Minato Namikaze's mood improved, and he readily admitted his mistake.

"What were you saying just now?"

Kushina Uzumaki was sulking, but seeing Minato Namikaze's sincere apology, she forgave him.

She said, "I was just talking about the Book of Seals."

"The Book of Seals?" Minato Namikaze asked, puzzled. "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Kushina Uzumaki: "Um... Nebula wanted to learn two ninjutsu from the Scroll of Seals, but he was too embarrassed to say so because he was afraid you would refuse."

"I thought about how he made a lot of contributions during the Third Shinobi World War, so I thought..."

"He wants to see the contents of the Book of Seals?" Minato Namikaze frowned, interrupting Kushina Uzumaki.

"no!"

Kushina Uzumaki asked in confusion, "Why not?"

Minato Namikaze: "Most of the ninjutsu in the Scroll of Seals are forbidden techniques. Not only are they incredibly destructive, but they can also cause serious consequences if not handled carefully."

Kushina Uzumaki: "Nebula is an elite Jonin."

“That won’t do either.” Minato Namikaze remained resolute.

"I haven't even said what kind of ninjutsu it is yet!" Kushina Uzumaki said, looking displeased.

"No ninjutsu will do!" Minato Namikaze refused outright.

"Kushina, your task now is to take good care of your pregnancy. Don't get involved in anything else from now on."

"That's enough, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep now."

Watching Minato Namikaze leave, Kushina Uzumaki stood there, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

She hadn't expected Minato Namikaze to refuse so firmly, or rather... to be so hostile towards Seiun Kamitsuki.

'Is it because of me?' Kushina Uzumaki asked herself. 'But I didn't do anything.'

Aside from gossiping a bit and occasionally letting their imaginations run wild, Nebula and I didn't really do anything.

Why is this happening?

After much deliberation, Kushina Uzumaki finally came to a conclusion.

You've changed.

'When we were dating, you never treated me like this.'

'...'

Meanwhile, outside Konoha Village.

Shenyue Xingyun led her team towards the capital of the Land of Fire.

The six special Jonin are outstanding young ninjas recently promoted from Konoha by Minato Namikaze. Their mission to carry out the Daimyo's mission is also intended to train and develop them.

Two of them were very familiar to Shenyue Xingyun.

One was Sarutobi Asuma, who had invited him to visit Uchiha Mikoto about two weeks ago.

One of them is Kurenai Yuhi, whom he had a long talk with just the night before last.

Upon learning that the team was led by Shingetsu Seiun, the two were delighted. Kurenai, in particular, suddenly felt an urge to urge Sarutobi Asuma to practice his swordsmanship after the team assembled.

Unfortunately, the task was time-sensitive.

According to the mission requirements, they need to arrive at the capital of the Land of Fire by tomorrow night. At the team's speed, the time for rest along the way is very tight, let alone allowing Sarutobi Asuma to practice his swordsmanship.

Chapter 318 Restraint

However, to Kurenai's surprise, not long after the group set off, when they passed through a fairly prosperous town, Shingetsu Seiun suddenly called a halt to the group.

"We'll rest here tonight and set off again tomorrow."

Upon hearing Shingetsu Seiun's words, everyone was taken aback at first, but Yuhi Kurenai quickly reacted and stepped forward.

"Nebula, we can't rest now."

"We are required to be in the capital by tomorrow night. If we don't get a night's rest, we won't have enough time."

"Don't worry, we'll make it in time," Shenyue Xingyun said. "We can set off again tomorrow at noon."

Kurenai Yuhi: "But..."

“No buts, trust me,” said Shenyue Xingyun.
