Minato Namikaze

Chapter 45 Minato Namikaze

The Forest of the Aburame Clan.

Aburame Shiki was resting under the shade of a tree, taking the opportunity to review his tasks.

With Orochimaru's help in researching the Soul-Parasites, we can put that aside for now.

Seeing Orochimaru struggling to the point of sudden death, Shiatsu Aburame could hardly bear it.

Soul energy flowed continuously from the Pure Land, nourishing his soul. It also provided sustenance for the Primal Gu, accelerating its regeneration.

Aburame Shiatsu's clones [Blue], [White], [Red], and [Black] continuously spread and assimilate insects throughout the ninja world.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Aburame Shiki found that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, so he decided to take a day off and relax.

You've worked so hard for so long, what's wrong with taking a rest!

Planning all this must be exhausting, you know?

Aburame Shiki was lazily resting under the shade of a tree, sensing his surroundings.

A gentle breeze rustled through the grass, the leaves whispered, and everything was so beautiful.

At that moment, the two walked towards Aburame Shiki.

"Hmm, that's Lady Aburame Shii, and next to her is... Minato Namikaze?!"

Aburame Shiki recognized Minato Namikaze by his striking blond hair.

This is quite normal. Shiatsu Aburame and Minato Namikaze are teammates, so it's not strange for them to get together occasionally.

Seeing this, Aburame Shiki stopped sleeping. He stood up and waited for Aburame Shiki and Namikaze Minato to arrive.

"Shiichi, this is my teammate, Minato Namikaze, a very reliable ninja."

Aburame Shiki introduces Minato Namikaze to Aburame Shiki.

"Greetings, Minato-senpai. I am Shizuka Aburame. I have heard of you before. The teachers at the Ninja Academy have spoken of the legendary Yellow Flash. My classmates and I admire you greatly. Your Flying Thunder God Technique is truly amazing."

Minato Namikaze felt a little embarrassed when he heard Shiatsu Aburame say that.

"Zhiwei often praises Zhiyi in my ear. It's not easy for someone as picky as Zhiwei to praise you like this."

"How vibrant and energetic!"

Minato sighed.

In fact, both Minato Namikaze and Shiki Aburame had a vague feeling that Shiki Aburame's chakra reserves were not weak.

"Zhiyi, your abilities are even better than I imagined. You've really grown up."

Aburame Shii pushed up his glasses, satisfied that he could speak; he hadn't expected Aburame Shii to improve so quickly.

"I am very grateful for the guidance of Master Danzo. I am happy to serve the village and be able to make my contribution."

Aburame Shiki explained, "I've been training at the Root Clan for the past few months, and it's only recently that I've been able to return to the clan, so I want to take a break."

Minato Namikaze nodded in agreement. "Indeed, you need to be serious during training, but you also need to balance work and rest. Taking a break occasionally is a great thing."

Minato Namikaze's tone was full of approval, which easily aroused people's goodwill.

"Minato is right, there's no need to be so tense."

Aburame Shiki agreed, saying that he had mentioned Aburame Shiki to Minato many times in order to get to know each other.

The reason I brought Minato to the place where Shizuka Aburame was was to create an opportunity for us to meet.

Minato Namikaze wanted to win over Shiatsu Aburame, and the Aburame clan was happy to see this happen.

The person beside Shiki Aburame is different now. He is no longer an ordinary member of the Aburame clan, but a disciple of Danzo the Dark Ninja and the next leader of the Root organization.

This identity is worth many people spending resources to cultivate.

Minato Namikaze has a natural advantage in winning over Shiichi Aburame.

Because his teammate was Shiki Aburame, the Aburame clan also invested a lot of resources in Minato Namikaze.

Aburame Shiki is the designated leader of the Aburame clan, and she has a very good relationship with Aburame Shiki. They are a natural bridge between them.

"Minato-senpai, I've heard that your Flying Thunder God Technique can kill enemies in an instant."

"I asked you curiously," said Shiki Aburame.

"It's not that easy."

Minato Namikaze gave a wry smile.

Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato Namikaze is very fast. However, he is still somewhat lacking when facing truly powerful opponents.

This shortcoming doesn't refer to the Flying Thunder God Technique, but rather to Minato Namikaze himself.

Minato Namikaze knew his own limitations. While the Flying Thunder God Technique was indeed fast, he lacked a matching ninjutsu, and his attack power couldn't keep up. This put him at a significant disadvantage against physically powerful enemies.

Minato Namikaze can avoid being caught when using the Flying Thunder God Technique, but the moment he swings his kunai to attack, the enemy may react.

Minato Namikaze moves using the Flying Thunder God Technique, but attacks with kunai.

If the attack fails to kill the enemy, then Minato Namikaze will face a desperate fight from the enemy, which is very dangerous.

Therefore, the safest way for Minato Namikaze is to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, constantly looking for weaknesses and seeking an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

therefore--

Minato Namikaze had always wanted to develop a ninjutsu that could be used in conjunction with the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he had not been able to complete it for a long time.

"Minato-senpai was already very strong. At the Ninja Academy, my classmates and I all hoped to become like Minato-senpai."

Upon hearing Shiatsu Aburame's words, Minato Namikaze smiled again.

"Let's cheer each other on!"

Minato Namikaze's goal was to become Hokage, both for himself and for his girlfriend Kushina.

Becoming Hokage was always Minato Namikaze's dream, and he had been working towards that goal.

Kushina, being the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki, faced many restrictions, essentially confining her to a certain area.

Furthermore, the people he could come into contact with were strictly regulated. If Minato Namikaze hadn't been Jiraiya's disciple, he probably wouldn't have been qualified to be Kushina's lover at all.

If Minato Namikaze became Hokage, Kushina could be given more freedom.

Thinking of his red-haired lover, Minato Namikaze smiled happily, his resolve growing even stronger.

"I want to become Hokage."

To become Hokage, one needs followers and supporters.

Even if a Root heir like Shizuka Aburame can't become a like-minded partner, it's still important to maintain a good relationship.

Minato Namikaze has already been making moves, for example, he has a good relationship with Fugaku of the Uchiha clan.

Aburame Shiki and Namikaze Minato had a very pleasant conversation, and it must be admitted that Namikaze Minato is a very charming person.

He always inspires confidence in others, and people are unconsciously influenced by him, just like the sun.

I also got to eat some barbecue at Minato Namikaze's restaurant, and I had a great time.

Aburame Shiatsu has a very good impression of Namikaze Minato. He is a renowned and powerful figure, a friend of your elders, and someone who cares about you. It's natural that you would develop a good impression of him.

Minato Namikaze may have had other motives, but that doesn't mean he wasn't gentle and kind.

and--

If the position of Hokage were replaced by a naive and innocent person, the entire village would suffer.
