The next day, early in the morning. Looking at the clear sky outside the window, Minato, who had not slept all night, opened the window and looked at the Hokage Rock in the distance, his mood was a little complicated. He once had his own face on the Hokage Rock, fulfilling his duties and protecting the village and his family in the name of Hokage. Now, this wish has not changed but has become more profound. Minato's dream is still to be Hokage, and this time, he will not leave any regrets.
"Huh!" The air in the early morning was very cool, and Minato couldn't help but take a few deep breaths. He hadn't slept all night, but he didn't feel tired at all. The Nine-Tails Chakra subtly changed his body, making Minato particularly energetic. Because of the special nature of Chakra, Minato can have subtle sensors even if he is not deliberate in using it, and in the early morning, he can feel the beauty of life at this moment.
He continued to stick to his basic practice. After recovering his memory, judging from past experience, Minato also believed that this practice is most suitable for him for now. Then he goes to the Ninja School as usual, and Mikoto is waiting for him in the classroom. They had a good relationship in school before, and Mikoto would become a very powerful female ninja in the future, admired by many people in the village. But in the end, Mikoto, who was only 18 years old, married and had a child with Uchiha Fugaku, the heir to the head of the Uchiha clan.
The child's name seemed to be Uchiha Itachi, a very talented boy. After he succeeded and became the Fourth Hokage, he had a good relationship with Fugaku, who had become the head of the Uchiha clan. If it weren't for that incident, Itachi might have become his disciple in the future. Minato wanted to increase the relationship with the Uchiha clan through Itachi. He was a disciple of Jiraiya, who was a disciple of the Third Hokage, and the relationship between him and the faction of the Uchiha clan had always been not very harmonious.
If Itachi became his disciple, he could also use him as a bridge to improve the relationship between the two factions. Moreover, Mikoto's second newly born son might also become a close friend with his own Naruto. His name is Uchiha Sasuke. Thinking of this, Minato looked at Mikoto with a strange look in his eyes.
"Why have you become a little strange since yesterday?" Mikoto frowned slightly. Last night, Minato was unconscious in a deep alley. After waking up, he said something hurriedly and left. And this morning, there seemed to be something strange in his eyes. "Hehe, nothing," Minato chuckled, and then said, "Thank you for last night."
When he woke up last night, it was already late. Mikoto and Shirota Sensei found him together. If it weren't for them, it would probably take some time for him to wake up from the deep spiritual space. "Speaking of which, what happened to you yesterday?" Mikoto had never seen Minato skip class, and he was unconscious in a deep alley last night. "Ah? I slipped and fell, hehe." Minato laughed awkwardly. He couldn't tell Mikoto that he fainted because of awakening his memory. He didn't plan to tell anyone about his rebirth. Mikoto naturally wouldn't believe such an absurd reason, but since Minato didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't force it.
Although he dealt with Mikoto, Minato still had a headache. Last night, Shirota Sensei was there. What kind of reason should he use to explain skipping classes and fainting? Kushina still didn't come, and Mikoto, who had been sitting with her, frowned and looked at Minato. Minato was thinking about something else at the moment. Shirota Sensei entered the classroom, glanced at Kushina's seat, and said, "Kushina has asked for a month's vacation from school due to health reasons." After that, he glanced at Minato but didn't ask him why he skipped classes.
Instead, his face became a little heavy, and he said, "Before class, I want to announce something to everyone." "The wife of the First Hokage, Lady Uzumaki Mito, passed away yesterday morning." Many people in the classroom may not remember the name Uzumaki Mito, but no one would not know the name of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama. The wife of the First Hokage is definitely a big shot in Konoha today. Even the Third Hokage would have to be respectful when he sees her.
"Mito-sama is a great figure who followed the First Hokage to establish Konoha. Therefore, in order to mourn her, the village will hold a funeral for her tomorrow. All students of the ninja school must attend in funeral clothes." Shirota Sensei's voice was heavy. He was knowledgeable and naturally had an incomparable understanding of the history of the establishment of Konoha. The First Hokage and the Second Hokage had both passed away, and among those who had established Konoha, the only one left, Mito-sama, had also passed away. That symbolized the complete end of an era and truly became history.
Many students observed the gloomy look on Shirota Sensei's face, and their emotions were also infected. "Uzumaki Mito?" Mikoto murmured the name. Even though she was from the Uchiha clan, she had never heard of the Uzumaki clan. It was just that the Uzumaki surname aroused some suspicion in her. This Lady Mito had the same surname as Kushina, so there should be some connection between the two. She had never thought that Kushina would have such a great origin.
Then she observed Minato's expression. The latter did not show any emotion on his face, as if he had known it all along. Perhaps his fainting yesterday was related to this? Mikoto could not ask more. Regarding the matter of Uzumaki Mito, maybe Brother Fugaku would know something. After all, he is the son of the head of the Uchiha clan.
The course continued as usual the next day. Swish! There was a figure that shuttled quickly in Konoha. With the naked eye of ordinary people, it was impossible to detect its trace. Only a faint light could be seen. Most people took it as an illusion of getting up in the morning. Minato chose some of the more rugged and intertwined sections of Konoha. Swish! He created several shadow clones and let them scatter everywhere, constantly creating obstacles for himself.
The only one who knows himself best is himself, so the attacks launched by Minato's clones are even more tricky than those launched by Master Jiraiya at that time. When Minato dodged to another street to avoid the attack launched by a shadow clone, the ground under his feet suddenly changed drastically. The ground suddenly turned into a muddy swamp, spreading madly towards him. When he was about to retreat the same way, his retreat also turned into the same swamp. Seeing this situation, Minato jumped up on the spot, without any panic in his eyes.
At the same time, a long-lost familiar voice rang in his ears. "My favorite disciple, long time no see."
