Unceasing Visitors

The matter of lending can be set aside for now. Qingye went to welcome Minato Namikaze in.

"Jonin Minato, what business do you have with me?"

Minato Namikaze smiled warmly, "Just call me Minato. With your strength, Qingye, I'm sure you'll surpass me by a long shot before long."

"You're too kind, I'm still far from it." Qingye felt a flush of shame.

His current strength was due to cheats.

Minato Namikaze, on the other hand, had never relied on cheats since he was born!

This guy was only 22 years old!

Even the Sannin at this age could only be defeated by Hanzo, earning the title of "defeated ones," yet Minato Namikaze had already made a real name for himself in the ninja world!

Minato Namikaze shook his head, looking at the young man before him, who was the same age as Kakashi, and sighed, "I'm not exaggerating. For you to capture Kitsuchi alive at your age, your future achievements will definitely surpass mine."

What was he like when he was twelve?

He could only save Kushina from a few Kumogakure Jonin.

But this young man opposite him, during the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, not to mention Kitsuchi, who knew how many Jonin he had killed!

The scene of him reaping the lives of Iwagakure Ninja like cutting grass amidst a sea of fire and dense thunderclouds still made him feel shocked!

Was this the true genius of the Uchiha clan?

It could only be said that they truly lived up to their reputation as a clan that had been passed down for thousands of years!

"Let's not talk about that. Minato, is there anything I can help you with?"

"This..."

Minato Namikaze looked a little hesitant, "It's about Obito."

He had learned about his three disciples' previous situation from Kakashi and Rin.

Rin was captured by an Iwagakure Jonin, and then Obito directly abandoned the mission to rescue his comrade. Kakashi hesitated for a moment before following.

As a teacher, he was pleased with his disciples' choice.

But as a Konoha Ninja, Obito and the others' choice indeed went against Konoha's requirements for ninja.

After listening to Minato Namikaze, Qingye suddenly understood:

"I get it. Yes, Obito... and Rin too, they are all excellent ninja who contributed to this war. We should acknowledge heroes."

To put it bluntly, Minato Namikaze had come to coordinate their stories.

To compare notes and help gloss over the mission report of Team Kakashi.

This kind of thing was common during wartime, and Qingye was happy to do him a favor.

Minato Namikaze's eyes lit up, he took half a step back, and bowed very seriously, "I thank you on behalf of Obito and the others, Qingye-kun!"

"It's nothing, they are all my classmates from the same year, and Obito is even from my clan."

Qingye said dismissively.

"There's one more thing, I need to remind you, Qingye!" Minato Namikaze's expression became much more serious, "It was Kitsuchi who personally assigned your team to the Kannabi Bridge mission!"

After speaking, he saw that Qingye had no reaction at all.

"Uh, you know who Kitsuchi is, right?" Minato Namikaze wanted to explain.

"I know, he's the second-in-command to Danzo Shimura, the leader of Root." Qingye scoffed.

Given his outstanding performance over the past few months, it was normal for Danzo to notice him.

However, this made little difference to Qingye.

In this life, Qingye's parents, whom he had never met, had a father who was an elite Jonin with three tomoe and had served as a squad captain in the Konoha Military Police Force.

His mother's strength was slightly weaker, and she was mainly responsible for the Uchiha clan's industries such as Explosive Tags and ninja tool manufacturing.

More importantly, both of them were members of the Uchiha clan's hawk faction!

Qingye could be said to be a descendant of the Uchiha hawk faction, born with a clean slate and a strong background, someone who was on Danzo Shimura's blacklist from birth.

It was only a matter of time before Danzo noticed him.

Now that his achievements in the Kannabi Bridge mission had been reported, perhaps a dramatic scene was already unfolding in the Hokage Building!

Besides!

Who did Danzo think he was?

He had already been targeted by Uchiha Madara, and in the future, there might even be an Obito with double Mangekyo Sharingan!

Moreover, he had captured Kitsuchi this time... especially since he was an Uchiha, he would definitely become a thorn in the side of the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki!

Compared to these people, what was Danzo?

He wasn't even high on the list of people who were after him!

"It's good that you have it figured out." Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly remembering something, Minato Namikaze added:

"Oh right, Qingye, you're still a Chunin right now, aren't you?"

"With Qingye's combat record and mission history during this period, you should be able to apply for the Jonin exam after returning. How about it, do you need me to submit a recommendation letter for Jonin for you?"

Qingye blinked and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Minato."

After seeing Minato Namikaze off, it wasn't long before a small head suddenly popped out from the entrance of the tent.

"Qingye?"

Yūhi Kurenai poked her head in, "Can I come in now?"

"... You're already in, okay?"

"Heehee, don't mind the details."

Yūhi Kurenai gave a playful smile and walked in, looking slightly regretful.

She thought she might get to see Qingye without clothes.

"I just saw Jonin Minato go past here, was he looking for you, Qingye?"

"Mm, he was looking for me."

"Ah? Could it be another mission?"

Yūhi Kurenai's expression changed; the previous mission had almost given her psychological trauma.

"It's not that."

Qingye thought for a moment and said, "Mm, Minato Namikaze wants to become Naruto, and he came over just now to try and win me over, hoping for my future support."

"... Huh?"

Yūhi Kurenai's mouth fell open.

What was all this about?

How did it suddenly involve something as big as the position of Naruto?

"Did he really come to talk about something like that?" Yūhi Kurenai asked incredulously.

"He didn't say it directly, but that was the gist of it."

"That's nice..." Yūhi Kurenai couldn't help but sigh, pulling up a chair to sit down, fiddling with the small vial of blood on the table. "Qingye, you should be able to be promoted to Jonin after you return."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"It is a good thing, but... I just feel like I'm so superfluous in our squad." Yūhi Kurenai said dejectedly.

You noticed too?

Qingye almost blurted it out, but managed to restrain himself.

Seeing that Qingye hadn't replied, Yūhi Kurenai looked up and met Qingye's eyes for a few seconds, feeling a little annoyed. "Hey, shouldn't you refute me at a time like this, or at least comfort me a little?"

Don't act like you're directly agreeing!

"Fine, I am a bit superfluous!"

Yūhi Kurenai simply gave up on herself.

In their squad, Qingye was the core combat power, Hyuga Himon mainly played a reconnaissance role, and that support position was also very important.

As for her, she specialized in Genjutsu...

She even felt like Qingye deliberately left the interrogation and intelligence work to her.

"Don't say that."

Qingye tried hard to think of comforting words. "Being able to help me reduce my workload and consume less Chakra is also very important... Mm, and also, Kurenai, you haven't dragged the squad down, and your cooperation is completely fine!"

Yūhi Kurenai blinked.

Not dragging the squad down is considered a merit now?

It sounded a bit ridiculous, but it didn't seem entirely unreasonable.

Especially when she thought about Kakashi's squad... At least I wasn't captured by the Iwagakure Ninja!

But that didn't seem like something to be proud of either, did it?

After comforting Yūhi Kurenai's minor emotional upset and seeing her off, it wasn't long before another voice came from outside.

"Qingye, is it convenient for me to come in now?" Nohara Rin asked politely.

Qingye: "..."

Is this ever going to end?

Why are there so many people wanting something!
