Konohagakure.
"How did you fight against a guy like Onoki?"
As soon as they returned to Hokage Building, Minato asked casually.
The situation just now was really dangerous, not because he was worried that Yuuji could not win, but because he was worried that it would cause a new war.
Right now, the most extravagant thing for Ninja World was trust. The slightest conflict between the higher-ups could easily lead to a new war.
After experiencing the Third Ninja World War and losing the Sannin and Kyuubi Jinchuriki, Konoha was unwilling to easily start a war.
"En, I also did not expect that the Third Tsuchikage would hire a group of mercenaries to search for my whereabouts and then personally dispatch himself... It seems that this guy really wants to get rid of me."
"Moreover, Yondaime-sama. I have entered the Country of Earth this time to save Yakushi Nono, she has been a spy for Konoha for many years. I can not let such a person die no matter what."
Yuuji answered.
"Yakushi Nono, I see. It seems that she is also a spy sent by Danzo-sama when she was alive..." Minato nodded with a gratified expression. At this time, he summoned an Anbu and ordered him to bring Yakushi Nono over.
Such an excellent ninja, who used to be a member of Root, worked hard and made a lot of achievements. Now that she had returned, Minato, the current Hokage, wanted to meet her.
"Yondaime-sama, it's already so late. Do you still want to work?" Yuuji looked at him.
"There's nothing I can do. After all, the war has not completely ended. There are too many things to deal with. I don't even have time to accompany Naruto." Minato scratched his head helplessly.
"I see. It's really hard," Yuuji said.
"By the way, the daimyo has given up on searching for Kazuma. Although Kazuma deserves to die, he is still a daimyo person. This matter can be considered over," said Minato.
"The Daimyo is really persistent. After investigating for such a long time, you finally gave up..."
After leaving Hokage Building.
Yuuji had no intention of meeting up with Yakushi Nono. In record, after this thousand-faced spy completed this mission, she would have to leave the root.
It was enough for him to pull the other party back, lest the other party was killed by Iwa ninja.
Yuuji looked up at the deep night sky, full of leisure and vastness.
The bright moon was shining brightly, shining on the earth.
Walking on the street, there were people who looked at him with respect from time to time.
"Hey, isn't that person..."
"That's right, it must be!"
"The strongest genius since the establishment of the village, the hero of the Third Ninja World War, I heard that he even fought with the Third Tsuchikage and stop a border war!"
"Amazing! He is really powerful!"
Many people pointed at Yuuji with awe.
On the other hand, Yuuji smiled and nodded at the people along the way, causing waves of exclamations.
After returning home.
"The next period of time, I should hide for a while..."
Yuuji pondered silently and then began to test Kabuto and Yamato's homework.
Time flew by.
During this period of time, under the governance of Fourth Hokage, the situation in all aspects had stabilized and calmed down, and the severely exhausted military strength was also steadily improving.
As the most critical part of the conflict in the village, the Uchiha clan and the higher-ups of Konoha had also eased up a lot under the efforts of Minato.
The main thing was that they had to ease it. Now, the powerful combat strength of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku, Kazue, and Shisui, made the village dare not act rashly just by this force.
Without Danzo, Koharu and Homura, the two of them would at most dare to close the door and force each other to talk. After leaving the door, they closed their mouths tightly and did not dare to let out a fart.
Fortunately, there was Yuuji, this important bridge.
Leaving Fugaku aside, Kazue and Shisui were very close to Yuuji, which made the higher-ups of the village feel a little relieved.
On this day.
Yuuji calculated the time and went out. He planned to observe the results of his experiments, so he turned around and walked into Ramen Ichiraku.
"Boss, a bowl of ramen."
"Oh! I haven't been here for a while!" Teuchi greeted him warmly.
Yuuji smiled and nodded. He found a seat and casually sit at it.
A little yellow hair with a whisker was sucking the ramen one by one.
Fourth Hokage's son, Uzumaki Naruto.
There were even Anbu ninjas silently guarding Naruto. When they saw Yuuji, they did not stop him.
"Hey, kid, aren't you afraid of dying from eating so much?" Yuuji took his ramen and smiled faintly.
"Hmph, uncle, you are so annoying."
The blonde raised his head and glared at Yuuji.
"What a fierce guy..."
Yuuji chuckled, but he was not angry.
Asura's chakra was a power that made people become cheerful and friendly, which was equivalent to an enhanced version of Namikaze Minato whose hidden charm was full.
But Naruto was like this...
Was it effective?
The cells that had been implanted into this little brat's body had been stimulated by his power day and night. After two years of subtle stimulation, it seemed to have a slight effect on Naruto.
This was only the initial effect. When Naruto entered the Ninja School at the age of six and learned to refine chakra, it would accelerate the process of transformation.
Would Uzumaki Naruto... become Uzumaki Numb Face?
What an interesting thing.
Yuuji casually put a few notes on the table and enjoyed the ramen as a customer.
The taste of the ramen was indeed very good, but to Yuuji, it was far from having a strong appeal.
In the original work, Naruto liked to come to this place because Teuchi did not discriminate against Naruto. He did not insult Naruto and treated him equally.
It was really sad. If not for the forceful correction of Asura's chakra, Naruto would have already been covered by the negative emotions in his heart.
Just as Yuuji was wiping his mouth.
The Kyuubi, who was in Naruto's body, suddenly raised his head and looked outside the cage with a ferocious gaze.
"Damn it, this guy... it is actually this guy!! It was the bastard who suppressed me that night and took away my chakra!!"
Kyuubi was furious.
He let out a terrifying roar.
A faint evil aura spread out, and Yuuji, who was beside him, was keenly aware of it.
"Kyuubi... I almost forgot that this stinky fox is very vengeful." Yuuji glanced at the blondie who was chewing on noodles.
In the sealed space.
For the first time, Kyuubi pulled Naruto's will in.
"Oh, what is this place?" Naruto looked at the dim sewer in front of him and revealed a confused expression.
He subconsciously lowered his head... Yes, the bowl of ramen he was eating was gone.
"Who brought me here? I am Hokage's son!" Naruto's face sank as he shouted in a tender voice.
"Hmph, Hokage's son... Little brat, come here, come closer, a little closer..."
Swish!
Several huge tails suddenly stretched out, wanting to grab Naruto, but they were stopped by this iron cage.
"So, so big, what is this thing!" Naruto was so scared that he almost cried. He sat on the ground and did not dare to move.
He looked around, wanting to find his guards.
"Don't look for them. In here, no matter if it is Fourth Hokage or your lackeys, they will not be able to come. Only you and I... really want to eat you up."
Kyuubi's blood-red eyes emitted a strange red light in the darkness.
Yes, although Bijuu never ate people, and even the short-tempered Kyuubi did not eat people, it was not a problem to scare them like this.
Who asked the damn humans to always demonize their Bijuu?
"What the hell are you!" Naruto wiped his tears, and an inexplicable courage appeared to resist his instinct, making him try his best to calm down.
"Eh?"
Kyuubi raised his eyebrows.
'There seemed to be something wrong with this kid...' Kyuubi stared at Naruto.
In its perception, it did sense negative emotions. A large part of it came from the villagers' disgust for Naruto.
It's normal for a person to have a dark side.
However, Naruto's dark side was so distinct from his bright side. This was interesting, just like two people...
However, Kyuubi was not interested in thinking about why it was like this. He only knew that this little thing could be used as a target.
Kyuubi asked, "Little brat, do you want power?"
"No, I want ramen."
"... With power, there will be a lot of ramen to eat."
"Without power, I also have a lot of ramen to eat. I am the son of the Fourth Hokage. I am the most respected one. I can have whatever I want. Many guys scolded me behind my back, but on the surface, they don't dare to do anything to me!" Naruto's face revealed a look of innocence mixed with a sense of distance.
"..."
Kyuubi was silent for a moment, "Hmph, he's just a little brat who doesn't know anything. He's always talking about that hateful fellow..."
One man and one beast looked at each other.
After a long time, Kyuubi's voice sounded in the cage, "You can call me Kyuubi-sama. The current you are still too young and inexperienced. You don't know anything at all... Come back when you grow up a little."
Hmph, two years old little brat, you have never tasted strength at all.
"However, I can give you a little benefit..." Kyuubi revealed a sinister smile.
A small amount of chakra rolled out and wrapped around Naruto.
"Remember, be careful of that fellow next to you. This vicious fellow is despicable beyond imagination..."
"Eh? Ehhhh?"
When Naruto came back to his senses again.
He only felt that he was suddenly full of strength, and his physical strength and energy had suddenly increased by a lot.
"So, so amazing! The speed of eating ramen has increased!" Naruto gasped in shock as he picked up the ramen noodles.
His eating speed had doubled. He was really amazing!
"Huh?"
Yuuji put down his chopsticks. Just as he was about to get up, his movements were almost imperceptible. He casually swept a glance at Naruto.
It was very subtle, but with his level, he can still sense the slightest clue.
'Kyuubi's chakra...'
'Interesting, that is to say, Naruto who is not even three years old has actually seen Kyuubi?'
'It seemed that Kyuubi liked this kind of Naruto very much, probably because he smelled a trace of the same kind.'
'Moreover, he even secretly gave Naruto an insignificant amount of Kyuubi's chakra to hook up with Naruto...'
'Tsk, tsk, tsk.'
"Blondie, I have a student called Uchiha Sasuke. He is about the same age as you. I think you will be able to get along well."
When Yuuji left, he stretched out his hand and vigorously rubbed Naruto's yellow hair. He just rubbed it until it was a mess and chuckled.
"You grabbed my head? Let go! Let go!" Naruto picked up his chopsticks and was about to knock.
However, he missed.
Yuuji had already left.
"Uchiha Sasuke? Just by hearing his name, I can tell that he is not a good person." Naruto muttered and remembered this name in his heart.
Many Anbu ninjas who were guarding Naruto were shocked.
"Uchiha Sasuke was accepted as Yuuji-sama's student?"
"This, I have never heard of such a thing!"
"Kazue and Shisui already approaching him and now the Uchiha just handed over the son of the patriarch?"
"Report to Hokage-sama as soon as possible!"
Soon, Minato, who was talking to Yakushi Nono, received the information from Anbu.
"Oh, taking Sasuke as his third student? What a pity." Minato looked at the information in his hand.
He looked a little regretful.
Unfortunately, he was still thinking about whether he should let Yuuji teach Naruto in the future, or in a few years when Naruto graduated from the Ninja School, let Yuuji be the Jonin instructor.
After all, Yuuji's theoretical foundation was the best in the entire village, and from the performance of Kabuto and Yamato, his teaching ability was also extremely astonishing.
If such a person who was proficient in the will of fire taught Naruto, he would probably be much more at ease.
Minato thought about the matter of finding a teacher for Naruto. But as he thought about it, for some reason, he recalled, "that person" that Kushina had mentioned...
'Who could that be?'
'What does it have to do with Naruto?'
"However, it's hard to find a proper teacher..." Minato tapped his finger on the table as he silently pondered.
At this time, Nono smiled and said, "Yondaime-sama, teaching children depends on whether the child is willing or not. If the child is too resistant, it will make the teaching process very troublesome."
"I understand. Nono, you know more about children... Since you are not willing to carry out the tasks in the village, then go and do what you like. This is also what Yuuji asked. You are now the dean of the orphanage."
Minato officially signed an appointment letter and handed it to Nono in the form of issuing a task.
"Thank you, Yondaime-sama."
Nono held the appointment letter tightly and respectfully left the Hokage Building.
She planned to go find Yuuji and thank him in person.
But Yuuji had no interest in seeing her at all.
Kabuto directly stopped Nono.
"Onee-san, Nii-san said that he is not at home. Please go back." Kabuto pushed up his glasses and smiled.
"I see. It seems that my performance is a little annoying... I understand what he means. If there is anything that is not too excessive for me to do, I will do my best to do it."
Nono smiled and nodded at Kabuto. She then turned and left.
After the other party left, Kabuto closed the door and jogged back into the house.
"Nii-san, why don't you want to see her?" Kabuto asked.
Yuuji casually put down the secret scroll he took out from Root and said lightly, "Kabuto, that woman is very dangerous. You will never know whether what she said is true, which sentence is false... She is ninja world's strongest spy."
He couldn't kill her.
So, he stay away.
However, Nono was not stupid. She knew that Yuuji brought her back from Iwagakure not only to solve the problems left by the roots but also to save her, a hard-working and meritorious hero.
...
Yuuji placed the scroll on the table.
"It's not the right time yet, but it should be enough to wait a few more years."
Yuuji thought silently.
In a few more years, Naruto and Sasuke will grow up.
Yakushi Nono used will be used at that time.
"However, speaking of which, since I am Sasuke's sensei. Naruto can't be left behind... Is he going to make a move?"
Yuuji chuckled.
