Chapter 38
The accompanying butler originally wanted to invite Qianyue and the others to dine, but when he saw the three of them eating roast rabbit, he immediately swallowed what was on his lips and returned obediently.
Looking at the back of the accompanying butler as he left, Minato felt confused.
Is this person being too enthusiastic about them?
Is it my imagination?
“Qianyue, have you noticed that these people’s attitude towards us is a little too enthusiastic?”
Thinking about it, Minato nudged Qian Yue, who was sitting next to him, with his elbow.
He remembered that Jiraiya said that the relationship between Konoha and these daimyo officials was not very good.
But now the other party’s repeated overtures of goodwill always make people feel a little uneasy.
“Because they think we are worth winning over, or in other words, you Namikaze Minato is worth winning over.”
Qianyue replied casually while eating the cute rabbit.
Winning me over?
What do I have to win over?
“Why?”
“Because your teacher is named Jiraiya, and Jiraiya’s teacher is named Sarutobi Hiruzen. Are you satisfied with this answer?”
Do you really think that people from Daming Mansion are stupid?
If it were another team, these officials would probably have jumped up.
Even the drama of requiring the replacement of the escort team may begin immediately.
But the other party doesn’t make any noise or fuss, but instead shows kindness to them in various ways. Isn’t this worth pondering?
Qianyue didn’t believe that the scornful guy from Daming Mansion would show favor to them just for Uchiha’s sake.
The real reason for showing kindness to them was the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
At this time, the Sannin were not yet famous in the ninja world. Except for Tsunade, the princess of Konoha, Orochimaru and Jiraiya were known as geniuses at most, and their reputations could not be compared with Tsunade. However, their teacher is Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third generation Hokage of Konoha.
Throwing the remaining bones into the fire, Qianyue continued:
“It doesn’t matter that these officials are high and mighty in Daming Mansion, but after leaving Daming Mansion, they are nothing, including the name.”
In other countries, the daimyo is the supreme leader of a country.
But in the Land of Fire, a look from Danzo can make the Daimyo tremble. This is the difference.
Because Konoha is not highly dependent on funding from the Daimyo Prefecture.
Even if there is a falling out with the daimyo, Konoha can still be self-sufficient and maintain operations in a short period of time.
But other villages can’t do this, and this is the gap.
Besides, does the daimyo dare to fall out with Konoha?
I’m afraid that within three days of the falling out, he would be overthrown by other nobles, become the new daimyo, and rush to Konoha to discuss things together.
“Shhh!! It’s not good for people to hear these words.”
Minato kept tugging at Qian Yue’s clothes.
Uchiha Mikoto also frequently used her eyes to signal him to stop talking and be careful that walls have ears.
The fact is that this is true, but this kind of thing cannot be stated openly.
Otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble.
“correct!”
Minato clapped his hands and said to Qianyue:
“I learned the psychic technique that Jiraiya-sensei left for me.”
“Has Minato signed a contract with the psychic beast? It’s awesome.”
Uchiha Mikoto’s beautiful eyes lit up. She had always wanted to sign a contract with the Ninja Clan, but unfortunately she couldn’t find a suitable opportunity.
“Of course.”
After receiving praise, Minato was inevitably proud and showed a smug smile.
He rubbed his right thumb on his nose and raised his head forward.
You kid actually started shouting. If my psychic beast is released, it will scare the shit out of you!
Seeing Minato getting angry, Qianyue sneered:
“You can’t channel a tadpole, right?”
I said you were fat, but you were really out of breath.
Others don’t know the details of you Minato, but I, Yagami Qiangetsu, still don’t know?
Don’t look at it. After Minato became the eternal sister, his reputation spread in the ninja world and became a feared existence for countless enemies.
But Minato in this period… can only be described as lame.
Such as spiritism.
Not much better than the early Naruto in the anime.
“How can it be!!”
Minato was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He jumped up and his face turned red:
“I have successfully channeled the toad in Miaomu Mountain a long time ago. If you don’t believe it, just look at it!”
Making a quick seal, Minato bit his finger and slapped it against the ground.
“bump!”
A cloud of white smoke exploded from the ground, and Qianyue and Uchiha Mikoto looked over.
“…”
Uchiha Mikoto’s eyelids twitched slightly, and she raised her hand to cover her mouth, wanting to laugh but feeling embarrassed.
“…”
Is this your toad?
Qianyue looked at the toad on the ground that was still paddling with its four legs. It was obvious that Minato had channeled this toad before he was mentally prepared.
This is not the point. The point is that this toad has a
Has a small tail.
In other words, this toad has not fully grown up yet.
“Pfft~~~”
“Hahaha.”
Qianyue couldn’t help it anymore and fell to the ground laughing while holding her belly.
“Minato, do you want to laugh me to death? Is this your toad?”
“How come…it’s obviously successful? Could it be that I didn’t use enough chakra?”
Minato was dumbfounded, he had been practicing secretly, mainly because he was afraid that Qianyue would laugh at him.
Unexpectedly, something happened, and a toad that was not a toad came out.
Seeing the little toad’s sexy little tail wagging, Minato had the urge to hide his face and cry.
“Forget it, you’d better go back.”
Minato wiped the sweat from his head and sent the little toad back with a confused look on his face.
Originally he wanted to show off, but he didn’t expect that showing off turned into embarrassing him. Minato was a little embarrassed and shouted:
“Qianyue, don’t you already have a psychic beast? Come out and take a look. I don’t believe you are more powerful than me.”
It’s no secret that there are psychic beasts in Qianyue.
Uchiha Mikoto also knew, but they didn’t know exactly what kind of psychic beast it was, because Qian Yue had never been a psychic.
Each time they were sent away with secrets.
“Come on, this low-level provoking method is useless to me. I’m afraid it will scare you if my psychic beast is released.”
“Hahaha.”
Qian Yue laughed so hard that her stomach ached and tears flowed out.
Uchiha Mikoto was also out of breath.
It wasn’t that she wanted to laugh, but the little toad that Minato channeled was too funny.
“Liar, I don’t believe it.”
Minato continued to use provoking techniques, but this move was really useless to Qian Yue.
He had made the wrong decision.
The convoy continued to set off, but Minato was depressed all afternoon because of the little toad with a tail.
If circumstances allowed, Qianyue believed that Minato would definitely rush to Mt. Miaomu to ask questions in person.
Why is it that every time I get channeled, what comes out is either a little toad with a tail or a little tadpole?
Minato’s worry was right. The crowded convoy traveled for most of the day, but it didn’t even cover one-third of the distance that ordinary people would walk.
Such a slow speed would make anyone anxious.
Qian Yue had to admit that the Third Hokage was a real dog, and it was embarrassing to assign such a task to a newly promoted Chuunin team.
It was okay during the day, but it was the most difficult at night. There were too many people and the camp occupied was very large. The three of them had to separate from all directions to set up traps, patrol, and investigate possible enemy situations.
“Mikoto-san, you go and have a rest. Minato will be responsible for the first half of the night, and I will be responsible for the second half of the night.”
At night, Qianyue arranged a rest time.
The next day, the convoy continued to set off, while Qianyue jumped into the car full of goods to rest and recuperate in case the vigil at night was exhausted.
In this way, the convoy slowly approached the border of Kawano Country.
At the Fire Country border post, the ninjas inside the post are still sticking to their posts.
In the dark night, a large number of Sunagakure who entered the Land of Fire under the cover of night gradually approached the outpost.
