Chapter 50: Hokage Worker
The task assigned to them by Minato Namikaze was to go to the Land of Fields and secretly check whether Orochimaru had left an underground experimental base.
Because Orochimaru would stay in Konoha for a short time, it was the best opportunity to verify the evidence of his secret human experiments. If they could really find the experimental evidence, they might be able to threaten him to stop the experiments before they were exposed.
At this time, Orochimaru was the ambitious Orochimaru who pursued immortality.
Minato Namikaze wanted to take a gamble after finding the evidence to see if he really cared about the foundation of Konoha. Even if he still had a little affection for Konoha, he could restrain his unethical behavior.
When Linjiao and Ying heard that they were asked to secretly track down the traces left by Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, in the Land of Fields, they were slightly startled and full of confusion.
But the mission of the Anbu made them quickly put their doubts behind them and leave.
Both of them are experienced Anbu, and Linjiao is one of the few most experienced people in the Anbu at this time. Although Ying is younger, he was also the captain of the fourth team directly under Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The reason why they were sent there was also a decision made by Minato Namikaze after careful consideration.
Anbu is very different from ordinary ninjas. Compared with strength, experience is more important. It is not something that ordinary ninjas can do to secretly search for Orochimaru's experimental base. Among the Anbu members at this time, probably only the two of them are the most suitable.
After gradually coming to his senses, Minato Namikaze looked out the window. It was almost evening.
The rain was much lighter at this moment, and more and more villagers were walking on the street with umbrellas. If he was not busy with work, he would have wanted to go out for some fresh air.
Sitting slumped in the chair and stretching his limbs, Minato Namikaze suddenly remembered the Three Yuan Sealing Array scroll and the practice scroll related to the Myojin Gate that had been placed in the drawer for almost two days, and couldn't help sighing.
Every day, there is no time to practice seriously.
Being a Hokage is really not easy...
Just when he was about to get off work, there was a knock on the door.
Minato Namikaze quickly sat up straight, and after regaining his composure, he invited the person outside to come in.
"Hokage..."
A Konoha ninja wearing a white cloak bowed respectfully after entering the door, and then took off his hood, revealing a delicate face with a somewhat embarrassed look.
"It's Rin..., what's the matter with you coming here at this time?" Minato Namikaze asked with an effort to squeeze out a warm smile.
Almost like in his previous life, Minato Namikaze was inexplicably resistant to overtime.
Especially when he was about to get off work and was delayed by other things.
Although he had only been in this world for three days, he always felt that the position of Hokage seemed to be not much different from that of an ordinary office worker. Perhaps if the Ninja World War had not broken out and the Hokage did not need to go to the battlefield in person, the position of Hokage could be filled by anyone who did not have strong strength as long as he had some brains.
Sure enough, even the Hokage was essentially just a worker...
Rin hesitated when she heard this, as if she didn't know what to say.
Minato Namikaze saw that Rin did not answer for a while, and suddenly understood something, and slapped his head and said in a daze: "Is it for the transformation plan of the Three Element Sealing Array?"
"Sorry, sorry, that is not completed yet..."
Remembering that before, after he had roughly read the scroll of the Three Element Sealing Array, he claimed that the transformation could be completed in two or three days, but he did not expect that he would never have time to take it out and read it after taking it back.
So when he saw Rin coming to ask in person, he felt a little embarrassed.
But what he did not expect was that Rin was not here for this.
"Hokage-sama, I am not here for the transformation of the Three Element Sealing Array..." Rin saw that Minato Namikaze obviously misunderstood something, and hurriedly explained.
Seeing the latter's puzzled look after hearing the words, Rin's eyes became more embarrassed, and then finally explained the purpose of the visit.
"It seems that you seem to have forgotten that today's routine seal inspection... has not been carried out yet..."
The seal inspection is of course to check the four seals of the Nine-Tails. This task is apparently assigned to the barrier team by Danzo and the two consultants, but it is not very meaningful at all.
To put it bluntly, once the Nine-Tails in Minato Namikaze's body goes berserk, the entire seal team basically cannot have any effective means to deal with it.
This meaningless arrangement was naturally made by Danzo.
Minato Namikaze had specifically proposed to revoke this matter after the last meeting, but unexpectedly, Danzo and the advisory group had surprisingly consistent opinions on this matter. They demanded that they must know the seal status in his body every day on the grounds that the dual identities of Hokage and Jinchūriki are important to the village.
On second thought, this request seems to be extremely normal.
As a senior executive, how can you not pay attention to whether the seals of Jinchūriki and Tailed Beasts are stable?
This also led to Rin's daily routine inspection becoming a chore.
"Don't worry, there's nothing unusual today..." Namikaze Minato responded perfunctorily while sorting out the documents on the table as usual.
He was now only thinking about getting off work as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Rin's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment. She was very curious and was actually very interested in the Jinchūriki's sealing technique.
According to her personality, if the Jinchūriki's identity was changed to someone else, I'm afraid she would force the seal to be checked no matter what she said...
Namikaze Minato tidied up the desk hastily, but when he looked up, he found that Rin was still standing there, and he was stunned for a moment.
Then he smiled helplessly and asked again: "Is there anything else? Captain Rin."
Rin wanted to leave, but after holding it in for a long time, she finally couldn't help but ask curiously: "Hokage, is there really no problem with the Jinchūriki seal on you?"
"I heard that it is difficult for a Jinchūriki without a special physique not to be affected by the power of the tailed beast..."
After a long time, this woman's curiosity came back.
Minato Namikaze felt helpless. In order to get rid of him quickly, he didn't care about anything and answered truthfully: "To say that there is an impact, it does exist."
"When I am mentally sleepy or overly tired, the Nine-Tails' chakra will erode my consciousness, but for me, this impact can still be easily dealt with."
"...Really? Such a Nine-Tails is too despicable..."
After hearing this, Rin was obviously full of surprise.
According to general experience, most tailed beasts will take the opportunity to erode the will of the Jinchūriki when the Jinchūriki is angry or out of control, and then turn into tailed beasts and run away.
But the characteristics of the Nine-Tails in Minato Namikaze are obviously different.
This is also a situation he discovered in the past two days. Since he was driven out by the Yin Nine-Tails in the last time in the space of time, he has never rashly entered it again.
But he chose to calm down and comprehend the seal technique of the first generation, and then directly fight with it.
Defeat the Yin Nine-Tails in one fell swoop, and then master the Nine-Tails' chakra mode.
