Chapter 236 Minato Namikaze is really troublesome
"I have decided to agree to the Mizukage's request. Only in this way can peace be achieved."
Contrary to Kyosuke's expectations, the Third Hokage did not haggle and readily agreed to the Mizukage's request.
The Mizukage nodded and announced on the spot: "The war between Kirigakure and Konoha is now over."
The Konoha and Kirigakure ninjas around them had different ideas about the conditions for peace, but everyone felt relieved that they could avoid fighting.
After the meeting, both parties went home.
Inside the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane began their conversation.
The three of them had serious expressions and were not happy about achieving peace with the Mist Ninja.
"Now that the war with the Mist Ninja is over, we can move on to the next step."
After Mitokado Homura finished speaking, Utatane Koharu continued, "I have prepared a list of personnel, all of whom are ninjas who have distinguished themselves in the war."
The Third Hokage removed his pipe from his lips and spoke cautiously: "This is Minato Namikaze's first time serving as a commander of the ninja army, so he may lack experience. I plan to appoint Shikaku Nara as his deputy."
On the desk in front of the Third Hokage, a map was unfolded, and Mitokado Homura gently pointed to the location of the Land of Rivers.
“As long as we can defeat the Sand Village and reclaim the Land of River, Minato Namikaze will gain a lot of prestige, and the obstacles to succeeding as Hokage will be smaller.”
The handover of the Hokage position is a very troublesome matter. Not only do you have to appease the various interest groups, but you also have to make Minato Namikaze perform meritorious service to win over the people.
After discussing the details, the three parted ways and began preparations for war.
If you pay attention, you'll notice that although the war with the Mist Ninja has ended, a tense atmosphere still pervades the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and not a large number of ninjas have returned to the village.
By this time, Kyosuke had arrived at the Uchiha clan's encampment and found Uchiha Shisui.
Shisui was seriously injured when he was ambushed by the Mist Ninja last time, and he has been recuperating ever since.
Kyosuke first practiced Sage Mode, and then went with the Third Hokage to negotiate with the Mizukage, so he didn't have time to visit Shisui.
Now that he had time, Kyosuke arrived at Shisui's doorstep empty-handed.
Shisui was wearing a light black kimono and looked to be in good spirits. She smiled when she saw Kyosuke.
"Captain, you've arrived."
He led Kyosuke into the courtyard, and the two sat down on the corridor. Shisui served Kyosuke some fruit and snacks.
Kyosuke picked up an apple, took a bite, looked at the lush green bamboo groves on both sides of the courtyard, and heard the rustling of the bamboo leaves in the breeze. He felt a sense of peace in his heart.
Kyosuke enjoyed this feeling; he didn't have to lie or pretend to be someone he was not, which made him feel very relaxed.
The same goes for Shisui; he doesn't have to deal with those stubborn clansmen and can quietly accompany his friends—such opportunities are rare.
Kyosuke enjoyed the scenery and ate fruit, while Shisui sat quietly beside him. The two of them stayed like this for several tens of minutes.
After finishing the last pastry, Kyosuke took a sip of tea and slowly stood up.
"Shisui, I'm relieved to see you're alright. Let's call it a day; I need to go back to my cultivation."
Upon hearing Kyosuke's words, Shisui got up and saw him off. When he reached the door, he suddenly saw Kyosuke stop.
Zhi Shui glanced at the doorway and saw a small figure, and couldn't help but smile.
"Itachi".
These past few days, whenever Itachi had free time, he would come here to see Shisui, asking him about training and inquiring about what was happening on the battlefield.
This is what a weasel looks like when it was a baby. It has big eyes and long eyelashes, and it's really cute.
I really want to pinch his little cheeks hard!
Kyosuke raised his head slightly, revealing a malicious smile, and looked down at Itachi, his voice full of mockery and pride.
"Hehehe, kid, you're too late. I've already eaten all of the Shisui family's snacks."
Itachi was only slightly surprised by the teasing, and then greeted Kyosuke respectfully.
"You must be Shisui's captain, Uesugi Kyosuke. I am Uchiha Itachi, and I often hear Shisui talk about you."
Kyosuke smiled and nodded: "Not bad, not bad. I am the current Konoha Jonin and the future Konoha Hokage, Uesugi Kyosuke."
As he spoke, Kyosuke raised his right fist to his chest and began to bluff: "Itachi, you have to have your own judgment. Don't just believe whatever Shisui says. You can believe what he says about me, but don't believe what he says about me."
As Kyosuke continued his rambling, little Itachi's expression gradually became awkward, unsure of how to respond.
Fortunately, Shisui came to the rescue in time, asking, "Captain, you should leave first. I'll give Itachi some guidance on his training."
Kyosuke didn't linger; he smiled, waved, and left.
Behind them, Shisui and Itachi exchanged a few words.
"After a while, my father plans to send me to the battlefield to gain some experience."
"Sigh, the clan chief is really strict with you..."
Kyosuke clicked his tongue in amazement. Itachi looked even younger than Shisui had been back then, yet he was going to the battlefield. These Uchiha geniuses really had it tough.
I don't know why the Uchiha clan is doing this. Are they so desperate to become Hokage that they've started a crazy internal competition?
For the next period of time, Kyosuke did not take on any missions, but continued to practice his immortal arts.
That noon, as usual, he went to Kushina's house to cook and eat. Then he saw Minato Namikaze walk in, and Kyosuke's eyes immediately lit up.
"Minato-sensei, let's have a match!"
Since learning Sage Mode, Kyosuke has been thinking about fighting Minato Namikaze and getting his guidance.
Unfortunately, Minato Namikaze seems to have disappeared during this time; he can't be found at all.
Kyosuke assumed he was on a mission and didn't think much of it.
In fact, Minato Namikaze was summoned by the Third Hokage to focus on studying strategy and tactics.
This appearance is also because I need to see Kyosuke.
Minato Namikaze smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Hehehe, I haven't had time lately, let's talk about the match later. I'm here to ask you for a favor."
"I refuse!"
Kyosuke's expression changed swiftly, and he turned his head away coldly.
Past experience has shown that when Minato Namikaze asks for his help, it always ends up being a lot of trouble.
Kyosuke hates trouble.
Rejected cleanly by Kyosuke, Minato Namikaze stared, speechless.
Kushina, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed Kyosuke by the neck, scolding him in a fierce tone.
"You brat, you come here every day to freeload, and you even want my sealing technique! What right do you have to refuse?! Just say yes!"
It has to be said that Kushina is really strong; she can easily lift Kyosuke up.
Kyosuke is the kind of person who responds to force but not persuasion, and he immediately shouted, "Okay, okay! I promise, I promise! Put me down!"
Kushina threw Kyosuke to the ground and then started scolding Minato Namikaze.
"You're a terrible teacher, you can't even control your apprentices! Oh, and whatever you have to do, wash the dishes before you leave!"
Under Kushina's supervision, Minato and Kyosuke washed pots and pans, swept the floor and wiped the tables, and only left after everything was tidied up.
"Minato-sensei, what's wrong?"
Kyosuke followed Minato Namikaze to a training ground. Just as he asked a question, he saw three people walking towards him.
