Neji noticed Fugaku staring at Hinata and immediately took a step forward to block Hinata.
He looked at the two Anbu vigilantly and asked:
"Who are you?"
Anbu ninjas usually don't appear on the street.
The two also looked strange, and they didn't have the typical dark and serious feeling of Anbu.
"The yellow-haired man from Anbu!"
Naruto was very excited when he saw Minato.
Since the last time the other party had a heart-to-heart talk with him and treated him to delicious ramen, Naruto had a great fondness for the Anbu 'uncle' with the same hair color.
"Hello Naruto!"
Minato greeted with a smile. Just seeing Naruto now made him feel happy.
"Naruto, do you know him?" Sasuke asked.
Seeing this very strong yellow-haired Anbu back made Sasuke surprised.
He thought the other party was lying to him before, but he didn't expect the other party to actually appear now.
But Sasuke was no longer obsessed with Minato now.
No matter how strong the other party was, he definitely wouldn't be able to match his ancestor Madara!
And because they were both Uchiha, the Ancestor was definitely more suitable for him.
However, the burly black-haired Anbu next to him seemed strange.
Strangely familiar?
"Right! This Anbu uncle saved me and even treated me to ramen. He's a good guy!"
"Don't worry, everyone!"
Naruto patted his chest to testify for Minato and said with a wide smile.
"You've also signed up for the war?" Minato asked proactively.
"Yes! It's a pity that I failed."
When talking about this, Naruto became depressed again.
"Is this a war? Why are ninjas your age so active?" Minato was a little confused.
The Third Ninja World War in his time was almost like a meat grinder.
It was so tragic that almost no one was willing to take the initiative to join.
They were all sent to protect the village or ordered to do so.
This kind of scene in Konoha where everyone actively signed up to join the war was truly amazing to Minato!
"There's a big reward! A lot of money! Enough for me to eat ramen for years!"
Naruto waved and gestured excitedly.
He originally imagined that after he became rich, he would be able to live a heavenly life where he could eat ramen every meal.
"Is money enough?" Minato was surprised.
Is the Will of Fire passed down from generation to generation of Hokage so useful without a pile of money?
"Also, aren't those enemies the bad guys who invaded Iwagakure Village? What's wrong with beating up the bad guys?"
Naruto didn't have a specific understanding of Akatsuki, and only thought that he was a simple bad guy.
The person who could unite the five major villages and even make Kakashi-sensei consider him an enemy must be a bad guy!
It was just a perfect mission in Naruto's eyes!
"..."
Minato was silent, not knowing what to answer.
Not all ninjas have the same awareness as Naruto.
Most ninjas struggle their whole lives not just for a little money, rice, oil and salt, but for survival.
For them, talking about nonsense about the Will of Fire is useless.
They just want to make money now!
As long as you give them enough money, you can beat anyone you want, and they won't even frown!
Orochimaru understood this keenly and was willing to spend money, which mobilized the fighting spirit of the entire Konoha.
"Naruto, are you poor?" Fugaku suddenly asked.
Naruto was stunned for a moment, then touched the back of his head and said with a dry smile:
"Right! I'm poor, otherwise I would eat ramen every day!"
Fugaku was surprised.
He knew Naruto's parents here had passed away, but he shouldn't be so poor, right?
Didn't Mito's huge inheritance fall into Kushina's hands?
Kushina even showed off in front of his wife Mikoto for a long time.
Why is Naruto so poor?
Fugaku glanced at Minato next to him, his eyes seeming to wonder, why is your child so miserable? Is something wrong?
Minato clenched his fist and then released it.
So, he turned to Sasuke and asked: "You also want to sign up for the fight? Is it also for the reward?"
"No. I have an enemy on the other side that I have to kill. I have to go!"
Sasuke's expression was firm, and although his murderous intent was weak, it was very strong.
Needless to say, it must be for revenge on Itachi!
Minato also knew that the Uchiha Clan here had been wiped out, and knew about the deadly feud between Sasuke and Itachi.
As brothers, they made a fuss and it also made Sasuke an orphan of the Uchiha.
Minato could only lament the impermanence of the world, and also turned to look at Fugaku.
The two looked at each other, both filled with helplessness and bitterness about the future.
As long as one of them survived, or Kushina and Mikoto survived, they would definitely take good care of the other orphans.
Unfortunately, they all died.
This resulted in Sasuke and Naruto being more miserable than others, comparable to a pair of brothers in distress.
No wonder they were attracted to each other.
"Sasuke, take Naruto to eat some good food!"
Fugaku took out a wad of cash and handed it to Sasuke, asking him to take Naruto to give him more gifts.
If you don't eat enough good food at this age, you won't be able to grow up in the future!
Sasuke didn't rashly accept the money, but looked at Fugaku with suspicion. He always felt something was wrong with this Anbu ninja?
"I know your father and have fought with him. Don't worry."
Fugaku wasn't ready to recognize Sasuke, let alone be exposed in front of so many people, so he could only explain it like this.
After hearing this, Sasuke felt a little more comfortable.
He calmly took the money and nodded proudly as a thank you.
Although he didn't know who the other party was, Sasuke still felt his kindness.
For him, it was already very valuable.
"You and my father, exactly?"
Sasuke raised his head, ready to ask more questions about this strange masked man.
But Minato next to Fugaku interrupted first:
"Sorry, we still have missions, let's go first. Let's talk next time."
"You are all the future of the village, so you must pay attention to your own safety."
After saying that, Minato took Fugaku and disappeared instantly.
Their speed was so fast that Neji and the others were stunned. None of them could see the trajectory of the two Anbu uncles.
Are all Anbu so strong now?
Seeing the kind Anbu uncle leave, Naruto felt a little regretful, but then quickly cheered up.
He hugged Sasuke and looked at the cash in his hand with bright eyes.
This money was enough for him to eat every day for the next month.
"I want to eat."
"Eat, eat, eat, all you have in mind is eating! I'll take you to eat after I'm done registering!"
Sasuke snorted, still arrogant.
At that moment, Jiraiya slowly came from a distance, grabbed Naruto, and said hesitantly.
"Eh? Just now, I clearly felt a familiar atmosphere here? Naruto, do you know who has been here?"
❀❀❀
Minato left with Fugaku precisely because he felt Jiraiya.
Their disguise could fool ordinary people. But someone like Jiraiya definitely couldn't hide it.
And Jiraiya-sensei's personality was like that. There's a high probability that after recognizing them, he wouldn't be able to hide it at all.
Only then did he deliberately avoid him.
Besides, time was limited, and Minato also wanted to see Orochimaru, the Fifth Hokage here, to seek advice.
*WHOOSH!*
Minato teleported to the Hokage's office with Fugaku, and there was no place in Konoha Village where he couldn't teleport.
Orochimaru, who was preparing the troops, wasn't too panicked when he saw the two Anbu suddenly appear.
He had already seen the First and Second Hokage, so it wasn't surprising to see the Fourth Hokage.
"Flying Thunder God? Is that Minato?"
"And this is Fugaku? Yes, it's been a long time!" Orochimaru asked the two of them with a smile, clearly recognizing their identities.
Minato took off his mask and replied:
"Orochimaru-san, should I call you the Fifth Hokage?"
"It doesn't matter. I'm myself, and it's just a title."
"Long time no see? But I just met you a few days ago." Fugaku replied with a smile. Facing Orochimaru in front of him, he also felt quite strange.
"Oh? The other me? That's very interesting. I'm very much looking forward to seeing him!"
Orochimaru licked his lips, filled with endless expectations in his heart.
If two, three, or even more Orochimarus could form a scientific research team, then he couldn't imagine how high they could achieve?
