"Senior Shan, thank you for accompanying me on this trip, and it's such a dangerous thing."
He found a relatively clean and spacious place, Minato checked around, and then made an apologetic "please sit down" gesture to a middle-aged Konoha Ninja next to him.
"I'm really sorry. After all, Lady Tsunade is no longer here. In case of emergencies, I have to ask Senior Shan."
"It doesn't matter, this is the job of our medical ninjas."
The middle-aged man who was called "Shan" responded with a smile,
"Minato you, Fourth Hokage must be very troubled if you encounter such a thing during the general election."
"This..."
Minato was a little helpless. The dry food and water bottle he had just taken out also stopped in mid-air.
"Actually, this is what the teacher means. I don't have it myself..."
"Well, I know, that's not what I meant, but there is nothing that Jiraiya and the Third Generation Masters can do to ask you and Orochimaru to run for Fourth Hokage."
Shan also took out the dry food and water bottle and started eating.
"The power of the Senju Clan's direct line has been severely depleted after World War I. Now it relies entirely on collateral support. If you make a wrong step, all your efforts will be wasted. Among the new generation, White Fang is dead, Tsunade has run away, and Jiraiya is of a casual temper. In this way, the only ones who can take on big responsibilities are you and Orochimaru. It's a pity..."
He took a bite of the dry biscuit in his hand,
"Now Orochimaru is gone too, Fourth Hokage, you have to be the one, otherwise there will be big trouble."
"..."
Minato took a bite silently for a while, then said softly,
"Isn't it too unfair? After all, it has been decades."
"Just because you think so doesn't mean everyone else thinks so..."
Hearing Minato say this, Shan also showed a forced smile full of bitterness. Obviously, he didn't agree with this matter.
"And even if 'we' can all think this way now, 'they' may not be able to let it go... After that incident, didn't the village guard against 'them' for decades?"
He sighed,
"This is fate. I don't know how many years ago it was destined..."
"That's right, but I don't believe this life can't be changed!"
Minato seemed to have decided something. He ate up the dry food in his hands and drank a large mouthful of water.
"Although there are people in the village who stick to traditions, there are also many people like Sunsenpai, so as long as you work hard, there is nothing you can't do."
"Having such an idea means that you are very suitable to be Hokage."
Looking at Minato who had regained his energy, he smiled kindly,
"For the Shadow of a Village, his responsibilities are far more important than his rights. You will become a good Hokage. I hope this problem can be solved by your hands."
"Then I'm afraid it will cause even more trouble for seniors."
Minato also smiled, very brightly, he raised the kettle in his hand,
"Please give me more advice in the future."
"Haha, okay, if you really need me, just ask!"
Shan laughed loudly, raised the kettle and touched it hard to Minato, which was regarded as an oath.
After that, the two chatted about their daily life, rested for a while, and then got up and started on their way again.
At this time, the news of Orochimaru's defection has begun to leak to the top officials of various countries. After all, spies are available in every village. Orochimaru's defection has taken hundreds of elite ninjas away from the village. Such a big thing cannot be hidden from anyone.
Among other things, not only Minato and Shan were rushing to Takigakure, but other villages also sent backup personnel one after another. After Minato and the others entered Land of Waterfalls, they had already encountered several groups.
At this time, the war was not over yet, and ninjas from all over the world were still in a state of high nervousness. If Minato had not become famous in Shinobi World, and the experts sent by various countries were also knowledgeable masters, and knew Yellow Flash, Minato Heshan would have already started to fight against people.
There is no need for Minato. Although Shan is a medical ninja, his combat power is also invisible. If the medicine man surname did not have the ability to protect himself, he would have died out in the troubled times. The medicine man of Konoha just chose a different development path from the relatives of Sunagakure.
These two people are very dangerous, very powerful, and difficult to mess with at a glance. Others know Minato, but they don't know them, and they won't come up and do anything just because there are few of them...
In this way, they arrived at the large waterfall outside Takigakure smoothly and "calmly".
"We're here!"
Minato wiped the sweat from his forehead,
"Finally arrived in time. The conference is not over yet. Everyone is still in Takigakure. They should be safe."
"Well, Takigakure is presiding over the conference and will not let anyone undermine its neutral stance. As long as our people don't come out, they will be absolutely safe."
Shan looked around carefully and soon showed an expression of admiration.
"This waterfall is good. No wonder Takigakure, who is also good in strength, has been able to maintain neutrality."
"This is Master Yakushi Zen from Konoha."
Several figures appeared from the edge of the cliff, and the leader bowed slightly towards the two of them.
"A country naturally has its own way of survival, but you two seem to have arrived a little too late."
He looked at Minato kindly in front of him with some surprise.
"The conference has entered the final semi-finals."
"This happened suddenly, please forgive me."
Minato nodded,
"I'm really sorry to trouble you."
"Okay, please follow me."
The leader of the team, Waterfall Ninja, said nothing after seeing this. He repeated the work he had done before the conference started and led Minato into the venue in a friendly manner.
Arriving at the venue, I asked for the direction of the Konoha delegation. Minato was kind, thanked me, and hurried over...
