After receiving Anbu's notice, although he was a little tired, Nagasawa quickly rushed to the Hokage's office.
Seeing the Third Hokage in the office, Nagasawa knew that the matter might not be small.
After seeing Nagasawa come in, Minato said: "Nagasawa, these are the three positions that the Third Hokage carefully selected for Kushina's delivery. Does any of these spots pique your interest?"
Nagasawa took it and looked at it. They were all very remote, and basically, there was no one around in that place.
Nagasawa analyzed it and found that there was no difference between those spots, so he randomly pointed to one and said, "This position is very good, very hidden, and it's pretty far from Konoha."
Nagasawa knew that the location wasn't the key here. White Zetsu would definitely discover the location no matter where it was.
The key was whether he could beat Kyuubi and Obito and then save Kushina.
He could repel Kyuubi, and Tsunade could save Kushina, so he and Tsunade were the key to changing the outcome of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's attack.
Then the three of them discussed the guarding personnel.
In the end, they decided to station half of the Third Hokage Anbu and half of the Fourth Hokage Anbu.
After discussing this, Third Hokage left. A Jinchuuriki's childbirth was a big thing, and there were many things to do.
They ought to set up a barrier, and the person in charge of delivering the baby was also vital...
Nagasawa was not in a hurry to leave and still stayed in the Hokage's office.
After the Third Hokage left, the atmosphere between the two became more relaxed. Minato smiled and teased,
"Nagasawa, you seem to be a little tired today. I wouldn't comment on it most of the time, but in this critical moment, you should hold back a little, you know."
Nagasawa directly flashed to Minato's side with one hand hooked around Minato's neck, and pressed on Minato's body:
"Minato, you're still teasing me even though I'm so tired because I've been thinking about how to protect Kushina."
Minato quickly apologized as he had mistaken Nagasawa for doing "something else" that made him tired. After promising that he'd treat Nagasawa some Dango next, Nagasawa finally gave it a rest.
After joking, the two also began to talk about business, such as how the Special Combat Squad was doing and the training team's assessment.
In the end, Nagasawa gave Minato a handful of Kunai with the Flying Thunder God Mark and said with a smile, "This is Hokage Assistant's personal Kunai. Even though there is no signature, it should be very popular among female Shinobi, and I'm giving it to you for free."
Looking at the Kunai that Nagasawa handed to him, the keen Minato noticed the unique mark on Kunai at first glance. Minato looked at Nagasawa in surprise.
"Nagasawa, have you also learned the Flying Thunder God Technique?" Minato's expression was a little shocked.
Although he did not think that the Flying Thunder God Technique was difficult to learn, he couldn't teach it to others no matter how hard he tried.
He tried his best to teach his personal guards, but in the end, they could only use a relatively weaker combined version of Flying Thunder God. It was useless in actual combat, and it could only be used for limited teleportation.
Even his favorite disciple, Kakashi, failed to learn Flying Thunder God Technique, and Minato gave up the idea of teaching it to others.
Unexpectedly, Nagasawa could also use Flying Thunder God Technique.
Minato quickly felt relieved. After all, it was Nagasawa. It wasn't that surprising if he could use Flying Thunder God Technique, right? Maybe he had already cultivated it successfully, but he just did not show it.
"Of course, are you surprised? With this Ninjutsu, I can assist you if something arises." Nagasawa smiled faintly.
"Of course not, it's you, after all." Minato said with inexplicable self-confidence.
Nagasawa: …
What kind of brain did Minato have to think that Nagasawa could casually learn the Flying Thunder God?
....................
......
Ever since Nagasawa killed Hanzo, Amegakure's leader was now Pain.
Obito felt that Akatsuki could not be exposed at the moment. They had to develop well first. After killing all the people who might leak the secret that day, Akatsuki began to hide in Amegakure and slowly developed.
"The location of the childbirth has been confirmed. In a cave west of Konoha, Konoha's Shinobi have begun to place seals and barriers there." White Zetsu reported the information to Obito.
Obito nodded and said, "Very good. Continue to investigate."
White Zetsu listened to Obito's orders and used Mayfly to sink into the ground.
"Aren't you going to tell Nagato about this operation?" A moss-like plant standing behind Obito asked.
Obito shook his head and said, "No, the main purpose of this operation is not to collect Kyubi. Gathering the Tailed Beast is not what should be done now. The strength of Akatsuki is not enough. This time, my goal is to weaken Konoha, causing war, causing the Ninja Realm to be in chaos again, and reducing the strength of each village so that Akatsuki can develop faster.
"If we let Nagato go, Rinnegan will be known to the public, and we might be exposed before time. This does not suit my idea."
"So that's how it is. Obito, you are really thoughtful." Zetsu praised Obito.
Obito looked at Jue expressionlessly and said, "Just in case, just call me Madara."
"Okay." Zetsu smiled.
For the sake of his mother's revival plan, he had already planned this for the last few years.
This time, he was the closest to success. Under his guidance, Madara had successfully awakened Rinnegan and summoned the Demonic Statue of The Outer Path.
Once he collected all the Tailed-Beasts, the God Tree would revive, and he would be able to use Infinite Tsukuyomi. At that time, his mother, Otsutsuki Kaguya would be revived.
He tricked Madara and Obito. Both of them were working hard to pull off the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
This time, both he and Madara were in luck as Obito was a qualified successor.
After experiencing the despair of his close friend killing his beloved, Obito had successfully transformed into a Shinobi who would do anything to achieve his goal and did as Madara wished.
Madara knew an Uchiha too well.
How much love was there in Uchiha's heart? After experiencing despair, their power would awaken. That was why he chose Obito.
Obito did not waste his intentions. He directly skipped the three-tomoe and successfully awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, obtaining a powerful Eye Technique like Kamui.
In the base of Akatsuki, a pair of blood-red Sharingan looked to the east. That was the location of Konoha.
In fact, there was another reason that he didn't tell Zetsu, and it was to take revenge on Konoha and Minato.
"Can the Yellow Flash arrive in time this time?" Obito coldly said to himself.
This time, he also wanted to let Minato taste the pain of losing his loved one.
