Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

Chapter 56 Cooperation

The white tower that Kagura mentioned is indeed very eye-catching.

Even on the outskirts of the dense forest, many candidates could clearly see the tall tower not far away.

Just because you can see it, it doesn’t mean the distance is very close.

As the saying goes, a horse will die if it runs too far up the mountain, and the saying also applies here.

Minato and his two companions walked quickly towards the towering white tower for nearly an hour, but still hadn't reached the bottom of the tower.

At this time, screams of other candidates could be heard from time to time on their way.

Minato and others knew very well that this was the result of the instigation of Teacher Kagura.

Some of the candidates had already started killing each other to reduce their competition before they even succeeded in obtaining the scrolls.

"Those idiots..."

Hearing the sound of fighting again not far away, Minato lowered his eyelids and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

It could be said that among the candidates present, no one knew Kagura better than these three.

But even someone like Minato, who had spent several years with Kagura, still felt that he could never see this teacher clearly.

You could say Kagura is a dedicated person.

Because he always takes the initiative to take on high-risk tasks that others avoid.

Although he always carries out missions as a lone ranger, he always completes them perfectly.

But at the same time, Kagura is also a very lazy person.

As a Genin, he had seen Kagura complaining about the missions issued by the Hokage in front of him countless times.

But as long as conditions permit, he will always find opportunities to avoid personally getting involved in unnecessary tasks.

Even when leading his own disciples, Kagura seldom took action, and always gave the euphemism of giving them the opportunity to train them.

But the three of them knew very well that most of the time the teacher just wanted to be lazy.

But it is undeniable that Kagura is also a very reliable teacher.

As long as this man stood by their side, Team 7 never thought about the possibility of mission failure.

Whenever he led a mission, it seemed as if he had no fear of any enemy.

But on the other hand, this teacher also has an unreliable side.

He always inadvertently reveals his mischievous side.

During this year, these disciples have been teased by this teacher many times.

Even the provocation in his speech just now, rather than being part of the assessment, Minato believed that it was just a prank that Kagura played on impulse.

In Minato's view, his teacher was such a man full of contradictions.

But no matter what, there is one fact that will not change.

That’s Teacher Kagura, very strong!

During this year, while carrying out missions, they had never seen Kagura look anxious.

Whether he is carrying out an A-level mission, or falling into a trap or being surrounded by the enemy, this teacher always looks like he is at ease.

Although they had never seen Sarutobi Hiruzen take action.

But in the hearts of the three members of Team 7, they all believed that Teacher Kagura should have surpassed the Hokage of Konoha in strength.

In Minato's opinion, facing such a strong man, even if more than 300 people on his side attacked together, they would have absolutely no chance of defeating him.

The only thing to be thankful for is that this is not a real duel, but just an assessment.

And they didn't really want to fight with Teacher Kagura, they just had to find a way to snatch the scroll from him.

But even so, this is definitely not a task that can be accomplished by just a few people.

Only cooperation is the only way to complete this mission.

And those idiots were actually influenced by such ridiculous provocation and started killing each other in advance.

"arrive!"

While Minato was still in deep thought, Hiashi beside him suddenly reminded him.

Hearing this, Minato immediately stopped and looked forward.

Just a few dozen meters away from them, in the center of the dense forest, there was a wide flat area.

And on that flat ground, stood a huge white tower.

The entire white tower is cylindrical in shape, standing proudly in the dense forest like a giant sword.

According to visual observation, the diameter of the white tower is about 40 meters wide.

The only entrance into the tower opens towards the water gate.

At this time, veins bulged in the corners of Rizu's eyes, and it seemed that he had already started rolling his eyes.

He looked inside for a while before speaking:

"There is only one person on the first floor of the White Tower, and he is sitting in the center.

It looks like that should be Teacher Kagura."

I have to say that with the existence of the Byakugan, this kind of reconnaissance work has become much simpler.

Just as Minato nodded and was about to say something, a sound suddenly came from the grass beside them.

The three people, who were already on high alert, immediately drew out their kunai and took a defensive stance.

After a few seconds, two figures slowly emerged from the bushes.

Seeing the three people opposite with nervous faces, the person walking in front immediately raised his hands high to indicate that he had no hostility.

When they got closer, Minato and the others were finally able to see the two men clearly.

These are two young boys wearing forehead protectors with the Sand Village symbol on them.

They were the only two people in the Sand Village who had received Kagura's attention before, Rasa and Sasori.

At this time, Luo Sha raised his hands high and slowly stopped after he was a few meters away from Minato and others.

As for Scorpion, he still followed behind him with an indifferent look.

Seeing that Rasa had no hostility, Minato and the others looked much more relaxed, but they did not put down the kunai in their hands and still maintained the minimum level of defense.

Seeing this, Luo Sha didn't care, but took the initiative to speak:

“Don’t worry, we are not here to fight with you.

From what I understand, you three should be disciples of that Kagura.

In this case, I believe you are also well aware of his previous provocation and trap.

As a smart person, you should do the same as me.

If we can judge that we should kill each other right now, we will only bring about our own destruction."

Hearing this, Minato nodded in agreement.

He lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly put away the kunai in his hand.

Seeing his actions, Kushina and Hiashi beside them also silently put away their weapons.

Although Minato is a bit silly in his daily life, every time he is on a mission, he seems like a different person.

The most important thing is that the more critical the moment, the calmer he appears.

Every time he performs a mission, he always shows his superb combat intelligence and is able to make comprehensive plans for his companions.

Even Kagura was amazed at this talent.

It is for this reason that, after a year of getting along, Minato has gradually become the undisputed leader of this team without realizing it.

Even the arrogant Rizu silently accepted his status.

So after seeing Minato put down his weapon, the other two didn't think much and immediately followed his actions.

Seeing that the three people finally let down their guard, Luo Sha also smiled.

He looked at Minato, who was obviously the leader, and said:

"My purpose is simple. I am here to seek cooperation."

Chapter 57: The first collaboration between the future "Hokage" and "Kazekage"

"My purpose is simple. I am here to seek cooperation."

Hearing this suggestion, which was exactly what he wanted, Minato smiled.

Without any hesitation, he took two steps forward, stretched out his right hand, and smiled at Luo Sha:

"Very good, happy cooperation!"

Facing Minato's outstretched right hand, Rasa was also slightly stunned.

He was not lying, he really came to seek cooperation.

But he didn't expect that the young man in front of him would be so straightforward and decisive.

Smiling, he also extended his hand and shook it.

As the future Kazekage, Luo Sha is naturally not a reckless person.

After hearing Kagura's words, he immediately realized that this provocation was a trap.

The purpose is to make them weaken their own strength.

But who is he?

You have to know that in order to become a shadow, in addition to strength, what is needed more is power and strategy.

Long before the Chunin Exam, he had done advance research on the exam.

In particular, he had conducted advance investigations on some of the candidates in this Chunin Exam, especially regarding the powerful enemies he might encounter this time.
