Shirota-sensei was shocked when he heard what the man in front of him said.
Minato was able to notice the existence of the Anbu deployed by this lord?
He knew that Anbu is a special unit directly under the Hokage, and every member was an excellent ninja, far better than him, a Chunin teacher.
Namikaze Minato is just a freshman in the ninja school. How can a child who is only seven years old have such abilities? Shirota-sensei suddenly felt a little disappointed; he realized today that he didn't understand the students in his class well enough.
At least Minato was like this; his thinking and skills were beyond Shirota-sensei's comprehension.
Therefore, he bowed his head to answer the words of the man in front of him, with some helplessness: "It's my incompetence. I didn't find out until today. I don't know enough about the students in my class."
Regarding this, the middle-aged man chuckled and said, "You don't have to be too concerned; there is no shortage of geniuses in this world. Not to mention, from your conversation with him, it can be seen that Namikaze Minato doesn't look like an ordinary ninja school student in any way."
Shirota looked at the man in front of him in awe, without any doubts about his words.
Because the man in front of him was a good example. He is undoubtedly the most dazzling genius since he was a child. He once studied under the first-generation Hokage and the second-generation Hokage, who are known as the God of Ninjas. He himself is also now at the pinnacle of ninja existence.
Even when his students were as young as Minato, they had already completed the courses of the ninja school and become real ninjas. Today, they are all heroes of the village, with high status.
It should be said that if there are students in his class who may become such characters, he should be happy.
The person in front of him is the greatest ninja in this village today.
The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen!
And before Kushina entered school, although someone had informed him that this student was unusual, the Sandaime directly sent Anbu to protect and guard her, indicating her identity is special.
Thinking of this, Shirota felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was getting heavier. Not only did the class have such an excellent student as Minato, but there was also Mikoto from the famous Uchiha family and Kushina with her extraordinary status.
The Third Hokage stared at the dim yellow sky in front of him. Suddenly, a breeze blew up outside, rustling the thick leaves on the giant tree in front of the ninja school. A few green leaves gradually fell.
He turned around, looked at Shirota-sensei, and said, "Shirota-sensei, how about finding a special teacher for the student?"
After bidding farewell to Mikoto, Minato carefully followed Kushina because he noticed that two figures were following her and the woman in the dark.
In fact, even he himself was surprised; his sight had suddenly become much stronger. According to his previous ability, it was impossible to find those two figures hidden in the dark.
Because the strength of those two people was much stronger than his current self.
He was worried about Kushina's safety. Why did such powerful people focus on her?
During this process, Minato was extra cautious, not only to prevent Kushina from discovering him but also to guard against detection by the two in the dark.
Maybe he didn't even realize it, but his skill had improved a lot faster than before.
As Kushina arrived at a homestay in the village, Minato stopped in advance, which seemed to be a sense given to him by intuition.
There were quite a few guards at the place where Kushina lived!
Therefore, including the two people hiding in the dark, they should all be protecting Kushina.
"No, I've been discovered!"
Before he had time to think about the current situation, Minato noticed that the eyes that had been paying attention to Kushina in the dark were now vaguely sweeping towards him.
His blue eyes scanned the ground and found a thinner tree stump under his feet.
Kushina's residence was located in a remote part of the village, and now that it was approaching night, there were very few pedestrians on the road.
Swish!
Two agile figures appeared on the street next to Kushina's residence and landed in front of Minato.
"Boy, why are you following us?"
An Anbu member looked at Minato and said, but at the moment the child in front of him looked a little dull. On closer inspection, he seemed emotionless.
At this moment, another Anbu member patted Minato on the shoulder.
"Poof!" Then a burst of smoke filled the air, and Minato turned into a thin wooden stake.
"Body Replacement Technique!"
The other person's eyes widened. The Body Replacement Technique is one of the three basic ninja skills, but these two Anbu never imagined that a child as young as Kushina and a freshman in the ninja school would actually know how to use it.
It was their carelessness!
They looked at the fork in the road in front of them and then remembered that there seemed to be a young man among the pedestrians passing by just now, who was now missing.
Their attention had been on Kushina, so they ignored the passing crowd.
Swish!
On a street not far from here, there was a young man running fast, as if he was in a hurry.
For the villagers of Konoha Ninja Village, this was not a strange sight.
"Poof!"
After crossing this street, Minato undid his transformation Jutsu, and a fine sweat broke out on his forehead.
Minato was secretly relieved. Fortunately, those two thought he was just a student of the ninja school, so they relaxed their vigilance. Otherwise, the low-level ninjutsu he had mastered would not have been enough to fool them.
But thinking about it now, his speed seemed to be much faster than in last night's practice.
But he didn't have time to worry about this. All the questions in his mind were about Kushina.
Although Minato didn't see the specific appearance of the two people hiding in the dark, the ninja with such skills in Konoha Village performing this kind of task could basically be confirmed as part of Hokage-sama's Anbu.
Kushina is actually guarded by Anbu? What kind of identity does she have that makes the Hokage value her so much? His mind was in a mess. Too many things had happened today. His special reaction to Kushina, and the red-haired woman who appeared in his mind several times. Who is she?
Why, when she appeared in his mind, why did he lose his rationality?
Minato couldn't solve these questions for a while, but after confirming that Kushina was safe, he quickly rushed to the back mountain of Konoha Village.
