Watching Kumogakure and the other four leave, Namikaze Minato said, "Let's go too."
"Minato-sama, why didn't you just..." Sakamoto Izawa had a puzzled look on his face, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "Are you trying to tell me why I didn't take the opportunity to kill the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki?"
Sakamoto Izawa nodded.
At this time, Uchiha Makoto took over the words at the right time, "Because if Minato-senpai kills the Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails, we will completely attract Kumogakure's anger, and they will give up the fight with Iwagakure and continue fighting with Mu Ye Kai Zhan.
And with the enemy's speed just now, although Minato-senpai can deal with it, there is no way for the few of us to survive after the enemy is enraged. "
After Uchiha Makoto finished explaining, Sakamoto Izawa turned his attention to Namikaze Minato again.
Namikaze Minato showed admiration and nodded: "Cheng's analysis is very reasonable. What Konoha wants now is to end the war and make peace, not to forge new hatred with Kumogakure.
Not killing the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki also tells Kumogakure that even if Konoha goes through successive battles, it will still be easy to deal with Kumogakure.
Their movements were discovered today, and the mission has basically been completed.
Moreover, I said that I will take many of you back. "
"Lord Minato, I simplified the problem." Sakamoto Izawa looked ashamed.
Namikaze Minato smiled, "Let's go back to the village first and report this matter to the Third Generation. We have conveyed Konoha's intention. The rest depends on Kumogakure's reaction."
"yes!"
"yes!"
...
The mission ended beyond Uchiha Makoto's expectation.
It seems that it ended very easily, but in fact, the risk of this mission is very high.
It was only because of Namikaze Minato, an extremely reliable teammate, that they could win so easily.
When I came, I was in a good mood, and when I returned, I felt like I was returning.
Two days later, Uchiha Makoto and others followed Namikaze Minato and returned to Konoha unscathed.
They went directly to the Hokage Building to report back to the Third Hokage.
A group of six people came to the Hokage's office. After Namikaze Minato recounted what happened during the mission to the third generation, the third generation nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Minato, you did a great job on this mission."
"This is all the credit of Minato-senpai." Uchiha Makoto was determined to win. After all, he didn't do much this time except following and leading the way.
"Uchiha Makoto, I remember that you were promoted to Jonin not long ago, and your performance this time was also very good." The third Hokage showed approval. He looked through the mission records and felt a little bit about Uchiha Makoto's performance. Accident.
Uchiha Makoto smiled very humbly and said: "Sandaime-sama, you have oversold me."
Originally, the third generation only asked him to follow Minato on this mission because of the shortage of Jonin in the village and seeing that Uchiha Makoto's performance was not bad. Unexpectedly, Uchiha Makoto's performance was amazing.
Minato spoke highly of him in the mission records, which made the third generation take him even more seriously.
"You go and collect the reward for the mission first. Minato will stay." The third generation nodded and handed the certificate of completion of the mission to Uchiha Makoto and others.
After obtaining the mission completion certificate, Uchiha Makoto's system panel immediately showed the mission completion message:
[Current mission: 1. Complete the first S-level mission (1/1), completed]
[Task reward: 1. Obtain special skills "The Way of Wuji" and "Wind Control Swordsmanship"]
After the five people left, Sandai asked Namikaze Minato: "Minato, what suggestions do you have for Uchiha Makoto's next arrangements?"
"Sandaime-sama, I think Uchiha Makoto deserves special attention for training, and I recommend him to join the Anbu. With his quality, he is also capable of serving as a squad leader.
But this matter can wait until the end of the war. Although the battlefield is cruel, it can also train talents better. "Namikaze Minato said seriously, obviously after careful consideration.
Hearing this, Sandai pondered for a moment, nodded and said:
"Minato, you have thought carefully. In this case, you will not send him to the Kirigakure battlefield.
From now on, Uchiha Makoto will be your subordinate and will be deployed by you during wartime.
As for joining ANBU, it will be your own decision from now on. "
"Yes, Sandaime-sama." Namikaze Minato looked serious, and then he saluted respectfully. He naturally understood the Sandaime's hint.
He also knew something about the main force of the Uchiha Makoto clan being sent to the Kirigakure battlefield, and naturally raised objections. However, others spoke softly at the time and naturally could not influence high-level decisions.
Whether it was because of his personal relationship with Uchiha Fugaku or because of Uchiha Makoto's excellent qualities, Namikaze Minato wanted to train him well.
****
The reward for this S-class mission was as high as 30 million taels. Originally, Uchiha Makoto and others were prepared to share some of the reward symbolically. After all, this mission was basically a win, and the key battles were left to Namikaze Minato.
However, at the strong request of Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Makoto and the other five people each took three million ryo.
"This mission was a near miss. Juro and Tou and I are going to have a drink to calm down the shock. Fousuke, will you come with us?"
After walking out of the Hokage Building, Sakamoto Izawa said to Kosuke Maruboshi who was about to leave.
This mission allowed him to see the strength of Maruboshi Kosuke, and after hearing some of his deeds, he no longer looked down upon him in the slightest.
"Me? I just..." Maruhoshi Kosuke was about to refuse, but Sakamoto Izawa grabbed his arm, "It's rare to relax, Minato-sama, are you coming too? I heard that the food at a newly opened izakaya is very delicious. , the service is also very good! There will be no new tasks these days, let’s just drink all night long!”
"Do you want to drink?" Namikaze Minato was stunned for a moment, waved his hands repeatedly, and said with a smile:
"I have to go home and tell Kushina first, otherwise she will be angry if she knows that I didn't go home after knowing that I went back to the village.
It should be okay to drink with you, but drinking all night and staying up all night is definitely not okay! "
"Huh? Is Minato-sama so powerful that he is afraid of his wife?" Sakamoto Izawa looked surprised and had a weird look on his face.
"Ah, ha...haha." Namikaze Minato scratched his head and smiled.
Compared with the serious, strong and reliable appearance, Namikaze Minato at this time made Sakamoto Izawa feel more close to him, maybe he could empathize with him.
"Izawa, what are you so proud of? I watched you grow up, and I don't know you yet? Who was kicked out of the house last time after staying out at night and stayed at my house for two days?" Juro Watanabe stood beside him. Timely last hit.
"Can loving your wife be called scary? If you keep talking about drinking all night, you will definitely be the first to leave!" Ogata continued.
"Juro-senpai, Dou-senpai, how can you reveal my background in front of Lord Minato? I don't want to lose face?" Sakamoto Izawa's face turned red and he looked a little angry.
Uchiha Makoto on the side was smiling, but he didn't expect that these people all had tracheitis.
He had never considered these things before. After all, he preferred practice and the feeling of becoming stronger than these.
But it's fun to hear these interesting stories occasionally.
"Huh? What are you kidding about, Cheng?! Let me tell you, no matter how gentle a woman is before marriage, she will change after marriage. Even if you have a handsome face that makes men jealous, it's useless. If you don't believe me, just look at Minato-sama. If you are so strong, you still have to go home on time." Sakamoto Izawa saw the smile on Uchiha Makoto's face and immediately said anxiously: "Don't believe it, you will know when you get married in the future."
"Haha, Izawa-senpai, I'm definitely not laughing at you, I just thought of happy things." Listening to Sakamoto Izawa's pitiful tone, thinking of the arrogant look on his face when he just performed the mission, The contrast was so great that the smile on Uchiha Makoto's face grew even wider.
"You are obviously laughing at me and you haven't stopped!" Sakamoto Izawa said angrily. As he spoke, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something, "You will come over for a drink later. I want you to know how powerful I am! "
"Hey! Izawa, don't mess around. I remember Cheng is not an adult yet." Watanabe Juro reminded.
The smile on Uchiha Makoto's face did not change, "Sorry, Izawa-senpai, you can eat, but not drink, because my 15th birthday is still more than seven months away."
"Hmph!" Sakamoto Izawa looked depressed. He originally thought that since his strength, resourcefulness, and appearance were not as good as those of a junior like Uchiha Makoto, it would be great if he could win back a victory at the wine table, but this wish also came to nothing.
Minato Namikaze took out the electronic watch from his backpack and looked at the time, and said, "Everyone, Kushina probably hasn't prepared dinner yet. I'll go home and tell her first, and then we'll gather at the izakaya and go back early."
As a family man, Namikaze Minato basically stayed at home with his wife when he was not on a mission. Of course, necessary social interactions were still indispensable, as long as he reported in advance.
Feeling the harmonious atmosphere in this temporary team, Uchiha Makoto felt very relaxed. Because they had experienced life and death crises together, the team also had more tacit understanding.
Of course, perhaps more important is the resonance between married men that brings them closer together.
Seeing the strength of Namikaze Minato made Uchiha Makoto, who had been somewhat relaxed due to the surge in strength, more aware of the gap between himself and those top ninjas.
However, when he saw the mission reward information displayed on the system panel, Uchiha Makoto's eyes lit up with joy.
