Chapter 34 Not a Friendly Face
Chapter 34 Not a Friendly Face
A few seconds later, the explosion subsided.
The stirred-up lake waters continued to rage wildly.
Tsunade stood on the treetop, holding Minato, her eyes filled with amazement.
This power was greater than any ninjutsu she had ever seen!
Minato remained relatively calm; the power of his kick was roughly equivalent to the one Kizaru used when he first arrived at Sabaody Archipelago and shattered the mangrove tree.
The difference is that he needs time to build up his strength, while Kizaru just kicks casually.
Minato didn't know if he could inherit the monstrous physique of the One Piece world from the Kizaru figure, but judging from the fact that he inherited Hashirama's physique, it should be possible.
rustle...
Someone was moving quickly through the woods.
Soon, several figures appeared near the two.
The newcomers split into two groups. One group, dressed in gray plate armor, consisted of members of the nearby secret service.
Another group wore Chunin vests and looked similar to the ninjas commonly seen in the village, except that their clothes had a billiard paddle-shaped logo on them.
That's the Uchiha clan crest; the people who came were from the Uchiha police force.
"Lady Tsunade."
The ANBU squad leader landed on a nearby tree and nodded slightly to Tsunade: "Excuse me, what just happened here?"
"It's nothing, we were just practicing ninjutsu and made a bit of a commotion. Just report it to the Third Hokage as it is."
Tsunade said, looking at the Uchiha guards, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
"You're too kind."
The leader of the squad was a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old. He looked a bit fierce, but his tone was very humble: "Then we won't bother you any longer."
Soon, the two groups dispersed.
Hiruzen Sarutobi also received the news from the Anbu. In fact, he had felt the explosion at the Hokage Building.
"Oh dear...did they blow up the whole lake?"
According to the ANBU's report, Tsunade was with Minato at the time.
He knew Tsunade's skill level; it was far from enough to cause such destruction. So it could only be Minato.
The explosion characteristics described by the dark side were the same as those of the laser explosion he had seen before.
It seems that this Light Release Bloodline is much more powerful than he imagined!
This power, which is stronger than many S-rank ninjutsu, is in the hands of a five-year-old child.
"Kids these days are such a headache..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe: "When you arrived, the police force was already there too?"
"Yes."
The ANBU squad leader nodded: "The leader is the current young clan patriarch, Uchiha Fugaku. We arrived at the same time."
Hiruzen Sarutobi then asked, "What was his reaction?"
"I don't know."
The operative hesitated and said, "He didn't seem very happy, but his tone was very polite."
"..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded knowingly, leaning on his pipe: "That child doesn't look very friendly."
Therefore, it seems likely that the Uchiha clan will assume that Tsunade caused the explosion.
The advantage of this is that such a powerful technique will inevitably deter the Uchiha clan, keeping them at ease for a while.
The downside is that Minato's Light Release was too noisy, and the Uchiha would eventually find out who did it. At that time, some extremists might see Minato as a threat.
But this is the only suitable place for Minato to train in the village, and he can't stop Minato from training because of this.
He was worried about training outside the village, even in the vicinity of the village, since Konoha only had one Wood Release technique!
Who knows, maybe a dark-skinned Raikage will randomly spawn as soon as you leave the village and steal Minato's life...
"Sparrow, I have a task for you."
Looking at his subordinates in the Anbu, Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and said, "You should have already seen the child who was with Tsunade today. His name is Minato Namikaze, and he is Tsunade's disciple."
"That child possesses two types of blood, one of which is the same Wood Release as the First Hokage."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said solemnly, "You should understand the importance of this matter."
Sparrow nodded. Having served as a protector of Jinchuriki, he naturally understood the significance of Wood Release to the village.
"For the next period of time, I need you to protect that child."
Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment: "You are allowed to reveal your Anbu identity, but do not interfere with the target's life and interpersonal relationships. Just protect the target's safety. You can discuss this with Tsunade."
"Understood!"
Que felt a chill run down her spine. This kind of guard mission sometimes required her to sacrifice her own life to shield the target from harm.
"Okay, go ahead."
Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and began to busy himself with other tasks.
Ten minutes later, there was another knock on the door.
The bird that went to carry out the mission returned: "Hokage-sama, Tsunade-sama told me to get lost."
"...In that case, you should rejoin the team."
Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his head, feeling a sense of relief.
The fact that Tsunade sent the Anbu back indicates that Minato should already have a certain level of self-defense capability.
That's good, it saves him from worrying unnecessarily.
At the same time, the Uchiha Police Department.
As Ken Uchiha listened to the report from Fugaku, his brows furrowed slightly.
"You mean, that commotion just now was caused by Tsunade?"
"Only Tsunade-senpai and a child of about five or six years old were present."
Fugaku couldn't determine who caused the commotion, but Tsunade was clearly more likely than a five-year-old child.
"What are the child's characteristics?"
Fugaku recalled Minato's appearance: "Yellow hair, very cute."
"girl?"
"boy."
"Oh... I remember now."
Uchiha Ken nodded knowingly: "I heard that Tsunade took on a disciple before, it should be that kid, I remember his name is Namikaze Minato, he even beat up the Third Hokage's son during the entrance exam, he's a pretty good genius."
He paused slightly, then asked, "Speaking of which, are there any children in the clan who are enrolled this year?"
"no."
Fugaku shook his head: "Father wants the children of the clan to challenge him?"
"It's about being on good terms, and also about using titles when you're working. This is a police force, not home."
Ken Uchiha shook his head.
As the clan leader, he naturally couldn't be as extreme as the younger members of the clan.
Although he was also dissatisfied with the Hokage lineage's wariness of the Uchiha, it was normal for them to harbor resentment since the Uchiha had rebelled first.
Moreover, being in his position, he can better see the difference in strength between them. For the Uchiha clan now, the only result of rebellion is extermination.
Therefore, since the third generation succeeded to the throne, he has been trying to ease the relationship between the family and the village, but the effect has not been very ideal.
On the one hand, it was because the young people in the clan were too arrogant; on the other hand, it was also because there was no suitable opportunity.
The Hokage lineage is too wary of the Uchiha, making it difficult for them to be honest with each other.
But if we pin our hopes on the younger generation, it might work.
There is...
He didn't remember Tsunade being that strong.
A single ninjutsu stunt can shake the Uchiha Police Department building a kilometer away…
Are you kidding me? Does she even have that kind of ability?
