Chapter 3 Adequate Preparation

After collecting his thoughts, Namikaze Minato walked to the position of Hokage and sat down.

Then he fell into deep thought again. Since he had to make preparations in advance, it would be best to do everything possible.

It was not a trivial matter to temporarily change the location of the barrier outside the village. At least this matter had to be notified to Sarutobi Hiruzen early tomorrow morning.

Moreover, tomorrow evening was probably the due date of Kushina. If he wanted to temporarily change the location, he had to choose a new place, set up the barrier, and finally redeploy the Anbu guards. From discussing with the Third Generation to issuing orders, this series of things was extremely cumbersome and took a lot of time.

So now we need to race against time. Thinking of this, Minato suddenly raised his head and shouted to the empty place in front of him in the office: "Linjiao, are you there?"

Bang.

Before he finished speaking, a puff of smoke suddenly rose above the open space, and then a half-kneeling Anbu ninja appeared on the ground.

This is a brown-haired man wearing a monkey mask. His body shape is similar to that of Minato Namikaze. He is a senior member of the Anbu at about 35 years old.

"Hokage-sama, what do you want?" The man codenamed Linjiao spoke in a low and soft voice.

After years of being in the Anbu position, the coldness and indifference of most Anbu ninjas and the tasks have disappeared from this experienced ninja.

Minato Namikaze did not expect that the Anbu ninjas on duty in the Hokage Building today were so efficient. He was a little surprised and couldn't help but praise: "You came very quickly..."

As he said, he lowered his head and found a list of names in the documents on the table. After confirming a few groups of names, he said seriously: "Emergency order, except for the fourth team directly under the Third Generation, notify all idle Anbu members who are not on the mission to gather in the office in half an hour..."

"Yes."

As a senior Anbu, Linjiao received the order from the Hokage at this time, and obviously did not hesitate at all. After responding, he immediately used the instant body technique to disappear in the open space.

After conveying the order, Minato's eyes turned to the list again.

The list in his hand, which was clearly stamped with the word "top secret", listed the groups and names of the members of the four ANBU teams.

After gradually sorting out the memories in the body of the former Namikaze Minato, he knew that the specific organization of the Konoha Anbu was that the Anbu had a total of 70 people under normal circumstances, four teams, and four team leaders were in charge of four classes, each class had four people, one team leader and three members.

Since he took office, the fourth team in the organization of the Anbu has been directly under the Third Hokage.

Whether Sarutobi Hiruzen's move was to assist the Fourth Hokage or not to completely delegate power, it was a matter of opinion.

So he just explained in the order to summon all other teams except the fourth team of the Anbu.

Although it was already late at night, in just over ten minutes, all the idle Anbu members who were summoned gathered in the Hokage's office. However, looking around, it seemed that there were less than 20 people. Obviously, most of the Anbu members should be on a mission at this time.

But these people are enough.

Although at least two Anbu teams are needed to set up the barrier, Minato has other ideas.

Ten minutes later, all the Anbu members have received their respective tasks, and the crowd quickly dispersed.

In the office, only Lin Jiao and an Anbu with short black hair, a cat-faced mask, and a white windbreaker stayed.

"Xiang, when was the last time Master Jiraiya appeared in the village?" Namikaze Minato had already sat back in his seat, his mind running fast, and his hands were also writing something very quickly.

"Lord Jiraiya?" Xiang was slightly stunned, then after thinking for a while, he frowned and replied: "The last time was probably more than three months ago."

"More than three months ago? Then is there any way to quickly contact Lord Jiraiya?"

"I'm afraid there is no way." Xiang hesitated a little, secretly glanced at Minato who was still writing on the desk, and then said: "Usually, Lord Jiraiya reports directly to the Third Generation."

"Moreover, the mission is usually assigned by the Third Generation."

Xiang didn't know why Minato Namikaze suddenly asked about Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, especially intentionally or unintentionally asking about Jiraiya's mission. This undoubtedly made him, the former Third Generation's shadow guard and confidant, the captain of the Anbu, a little embarrassed to answer.

Being able to be competent for the position of captain who leads the entire Anbu, the political sense is naturally sensitive.

The Third Generation did not completely delegate power to the Fourth Generation, which was known to the top leaders. Xiang was still afraid that Minato Namikaze would ask him to take sides, especially when he heard that the Fourth Hokage asked him about Jiraiya.

In fact, how could Minato Namikaze think so much at this moment? He asked Jiraiya just to be on the safe side. If there was still an accident tomorrow night, Jiraiya could be there, which would be a great help.

In fact, if we talk about help, Orochimaru should not have defected in Konoha at this time, but Minato didn't dare to ask this scientist who was currently obsessed with human experiments and hooked up with Danzo.

He was originally a person who failed in the election for the Fourth Hokage. If he asked him to help, it would be a small matter if he didn't work hard. What if he took the opportunity to stab me in the back? I was scared just thinking about it.

"Is that so? Then there is nothing I can do." Minato Namikaze's tone was a little regretful, because he had finished writing something in his hand and happened to stop writing at this time. Then he looked at Xiang and said warmly: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll leave tomorrow's disguise mission to you."

"Don't worry, Fourth-generation Lord." Xiang's face became solemn, he bowed respectfully, and then left.

The disguise mission was naturally to disguise the original barrier. Minato originally wanted to temporarily select a new barrier and withdraw the barrier and manpower from the old site, but then he thought, if the old site is used as bait to lure Obito, wouldn't it increase the safety factor of Kushina's real birth barrier?

After all, if the old site is removed, Obito might still look for a new barrier, because he has already received the news of Kushina's birth. If he is still found, wouldn't it be a failure again?

Therefore, Namikaze Minato specifically asked Xiang to arrange personnel to disguise the illusion that the Jinchūriki is still giving birth at the old site as usual.

Soon, only Minato Namikaze and Linjiao were left in the office. Minato, who was sitting at the main seat, pondered for a while and spoke again: "It seems that I have to trouble you to make another trip. Please urgently summon my shadow guard Genma team here."

"Yes."

Linjiao still did not hesitate at all and executed the order instantly.

Each generation of Kage has its own shadow guard team. The Genma team is the name of Minato Namikaze's shadow guard team, which consists of three people: Shiranui Genma, Bingzu Leitong and Die Iwashi.

Although they need the strength of three people to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, their talent is really catching chickens, but if there is an accident tomorrow night, arranging them in advance, even if they are only responsible for transmitting the third generation Hokage and other high-end combat forces of Konoha from the village for rapid support, is also a great help.

After making these arrangements, in Minato Namikaze's view, it is still not enough. Because the worst case is not how to deal with Obito, the most important thing is to seal the Nine-Tails, which is the biggest problem.

Under the light, Namikaze Minato stood up from his seat, frowning, and after checking the letter scroll in his hand again and again, he bit his finger and used the summoning technique to search his memory.

As the smoke dissipated, a Myoboku Mountain toad responsible for communication appeared in front of him.

This was a small brown toad carrying a scroll. After it appeared, it quickly found its own position and the blond man in front of it, and then immediately said respectfully: "Mr. Minato."

"Gamamu, please deliver this letter scroll to Mr. Fukasaku of Myoboku Mountain as quickly as possible, please." Namikaze Minato's eyes were sincere, as if he entrusted the greatest reliance on fighting the Nine-Tails to Myoboku Mountain.

Gamamu was a communication toad who was often responsible for delivering letters to Minato. It was the first time that it saw the Fourth Hokage, who had always been able to deal with any enemy easily, showing such a serious expression.

After knowing the importance of the information, Gamamu was also very serious, and said firmly in human language: "Don't worry, Lord Minato."

"I will deliver it as quickly as possible!"

Before he finished speaking, he turned into smoke and disappeared.
