Chika looked at Minato's tearful face and instead of comforting him, he asked curiously.
"Minato-senpai, I'm very curious why Kushina-sensei would agree to let you place the Flying Thunder God Seal."
Before he could finish his words, Minato covered his mouth and said, "Okay, Chika, let's not talk about this issue anymore. It has already touched upon the core secret of the Flying Thunder God Technique."
What could he say? Did he just carve it on impulse when he couldn't help himself?
Kushina was mad at him for a long time because of this.
If Kushina knew that he accidentally exposed this secret, he would really be doomed.
Chika looked at Minato with disdain.
It seems that Minato is not a serious person either, as he was able to engrave the Flying Thunder God Seal on that part of Kushina-sensei.
Yes, how could the disciple chosen by the lecherous sage Jiraiya from among such a vast crowd be an ordinary person? He must have some extraordinary qualities.
Minato couldn't stand the perverted looks from Chika and Kakashi anymore, so he said, "Let's go to the Third Hokage to accept the mission! If we don't go now, the Third Hokage will be off work soon!"
After saying that, he walked towards the Hokage Building on his own.
If he didn't have to take Chika with him to report to the Third Hokage, Minato would have wanted to teleport away on his own.
Along the way, Minato looked a little depressed. After all, the gentleman image he had maintained for many years collapsed.
Not only that, the secret Flying Thunder God Seal is also a handle that will always be in Chika's hands.
Minato was afraid that Chika would use this secret to exchange for his Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
It was not until they arrived at the Hokage Building and met more and more ninjas that Minato cheered up and his usual smile returned to his face.
Greeting the ninjas passing by.
"It's Minato, are you here to take on another mission? Minato is really working hard!"
"No, no, I just want to save more money."
"Minato, let's have a drink together after we get back from the mission. I heard that a group of new people came to Konoha Kabukicho(red light district), hehehe."
"Ah, I'm not good at drinking, so I can't accompany you, sorry!"
His warm smile and gentle tone made all ninjas who came into contact with him feel good about him.
Only Chika was behind, muttering to himself.
"Sanctimonious, hypocritical, and a scoundrel."
[Negative emotions from Namikaze Minato, emotion value +20!]
[Negative emotions from Namikaze Minato, emotion value +30!]
[Negative emotions from Namikaze Minato, emotion value +50!]
Tear!
Sure enough, this kind of person who won't break down easily, as long as you touch their pain points, it can really harvest their emotions one after another.
Knock knock knock.
"Come in!"
Chika and the other two walked into the Hokage's office.
Hiruzen took a puff on his cigarette and said with a smile, "Minato is here."
"Lord Third Hokage, Minato's team is here to receive their mission." Minato replied respectfully to Hiruzen.
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen nodded in satisfaction.
As his only disciple at present, Hiruzen likes Minato more and more the more he looks at him.
"Well, that's right, Minato, you are much more sensible than Jiraiya. This guy actually went to the Land of Hot Springs to get material for his novel, and he still doesn't know how to come back to share some of the burden with me, his master."
Speaking of Jiraiya, Hiruzen had a look of disappointment on his face and sighed in his heart.
It was said to be material for a novel, but how could Hiruzen not know the nature of his own disciple? It was obvious that he went there just to peep.
But this is not the reason why he sighed.
The real reason is that he, an incompetent disciple, has only learned the basics of peeping so far.
He is still studying pinhole imaging and bush squatting techniques. He is really uneducated.
How can these two techniques be as high-end and classy as the telescope technique?
This child is irredeemable!
Thinking of this, Hiruzen said to Minato earnestly: "Minato, your teacher is already useless, you must not learn his lack of self-respect, otherwise I will stand up for Kushina!"
Although Hiruzen said this, he also felt regretful in his heart. Jiraiya did not pass on his unique skills to such a talented person as Minato.
Alas, we can only look forward to the next generation.
Thinking of this, Hiruzen could only look at Kakashi.
This look also noticed that in addition to Minato and Kakashi, Chika was also there.
But what surprised him was that Kakashi and Chika were staring at Minato with an inexplicable look, and Minato's forehead was covered with sweat under such a look.
What was going on?
Did he say something wrong?
Minato was so embarrassed that he could only change the subject and said, "Third Hokage, I need to discuss something with you."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Hiruzen roughly guessed what it was and looked at Chika.
Minato said, "It's like this. Because Kushina is still in detention, Chika doesn't have a team, so I want to temporarily transfer him to my team and make a team of three. Do you think it's okay?"
"Chika."
Hiruzen nodded, smiled kindly at Chika, and then said: "No problem, I agree. You will lead Chika during the time that Kushina is in solitary confinement."
"By the way, Minato, what level of mission do you want to take this time?"
Hiruzen asked Minato again.
Minato breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hiruzen finally got back to the point, and said, "It's all at the command of the Third Hokage."
"Okay, then I'll pick a task that's suitable for you."
Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction. He liked the leading ninjas like Minato who were not picky about missions.
He pulled out a dozen missions from the files on his desk and began selecting ones suitable for Minato's squad.
"Well, considering that there are only three people in your team, and Chika just graduated not long ago, let's just do this B-rank mission!"
As he spoke, he put the other tasks back to their original places, leaving only the next task scroll in his hand, which he then handed to Minato.
Minato took a few steps forward, took the mission scroll, and after taking a quick look at it, he understood what the mission was.
The mission is not complicated. It is probably just to go to a Konoha base in the Kingdom of Rivers and bring back information about the Kingdom of Wind.
"Third Hokage, then this mission will be handed over to our Minato team."
After Minato roughly understood the requirements of the mission, he said to Hiruzen.
"Well, go ahead. You have plenty of time for this mission. You can rest well at home tonight and set off tomorrow morning."
When Hiruzen saw that Minato had accepted the task, he waved his hand and let Minato, and the others retreat first.
