The corners of Shen Ye's mouth curled up slightly. He clenched his fists and lightly tapped them together as he slowly walked toward Might Duy.
Might Duy still had no idea what was going on. He hurriedly quickened his pace to greet Shen Ye, only to be met with a sharp rap on the head.
With a thud, Minato and Shikaku watched Might Duy get hit and instinctively raised their hands to cover their own heads.
"You actually went to the Ninja Academy first thing in the morning. I don't know whether I should praise you for being diligent or call you foolish."
Might Duy scratched his head, unable to understand why he had been hit. They had only just met today, and he had not provoked any of them.
Seeing the innocent look on his face, Minato could not help stepping forward to explain.
"Really? The chance to pour out the fiery blood of youth was right in front of me, yet I went to the classroom alone to study like an idiot. How tragic, how lamentable."
Shen Ye could not help bursting into laughter at Might Duy's dramatic movements, though he was not mocking him.
"Alright, then let's set off quickly. We can still reach our destination before nightfall."
"Everyone, hold on to me. I already left Flying Thunder God markings outside the village, so we can teleport directly over a great distance."
Shen Ye gave Minato a thumbs-up. With such foresight, it was no surprise that he would one day become the Fourth Hokage.
Besides, whether in terms of identity or status, Namikaze Minato was an excellent fit.
Flying Thunder God Technique!
They directly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the village. When their bodies reappeared, they were already in the forest outside the village.
