Naruto: I, a decent person, have become the mastermind behind all this!

The three days of vacation passed in a flash.

April 19, Konoha 39.

Hoshita Shuichi and Uchiha Shisui met up at the old place, and after waiting for a while, Namikaze Minato appeared.

"Shuiichi!"

Namikaze Minato raised his hand and handed over a scroll.

"Minato teacher, this is..."

Hoshita Shuichi reached out to take it.

Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "I applied for Konoha-style swordsmanship from the Third Hokage."

"I see that you are already proficient in using the short sword, which is just right for you."

Hoshita Shuichi was immediately overjoyed and bowed: "Thank you, Minato teacher."

Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "I have not practiced swordsmanship specifically, so I can't guide you in specific practice."

"However, the swordsmanship of the Uchiha clan is also very powerful in Konoha-style, and Shisui will be a very good opponent for you."

Uchiha Shisui smiled and said, "If Shuichi needs anything, just ask."

Hoshita Shuichi thanked him repeatedly.

He is not polite.

After putting away the scroll, Namikaze Minato announced, "This mission is to go to the daimyo's mansion, which will take about 7 days. You make preparations and gather at the village entrance in half an hour."

"Understood!"

Hoshita Shuichi and the other two immediately dispersed.

After returning home, Shuichi checked the entry tree in his mind while packing up his things.

On the entry tree, the entry [Swordsmanship Expert] appeared.

I had not been able to trigger it before after mastering the use of the short sword, but I didn't expect it to appear now.

Entry: [Swordsmanship Expert]

Obtaining conditions: Master the Konoha-style swordsmanship designated by Minato Namikaze, and win the swordsmanship duel with Kakashi Hatake.

Effect: Swordsmanship talent is improved by 100%, and the quality of designated ninja tools is improved by 100%.

Looking at the acquisition conditions, Shuichi Hoshita didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Kakashi again!

"Fortunately, although it is a swordsmanship duel, it is not just swordsmanship that is being compared."

Shuichi Hoshita believes that if it is just swordsmanship that beats Kakashi, he is really unsure.

After all, Kakashi has the guidance of Sakumo Hatake, and his own talent is absolutely amazing.

As for why it is swordsmanship when it is obviously a knife.

In fact, in the ninja world, a knife includes a sword.

At the same time, a knife is also called a real sword.

So, whether it is a knife or a sword, it is called swordsmanship.

The Konoha-style swordsmanship actually covers a wide range, and it is just a general term.

For example, the swordsmanship of the Uchiha clan, the Hatake swordsmanship, and the Flying Thunder God Slash of the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama are all included.

There are also the three-day moon dance, the moon shadow, and the Konoha-style-Ryu, which are all very representative.

Putting the scroll into the backpack, Hoshita Shuichi went out and went straight to the village entrance. After meeting up with Namikaze Minato and others, he went out of the village and went straight to the daimyo's mansion along the road.

However, there was plenty of time for this mission, so the speed was not fast.

On the way, Minato Namikaze introduced the mission to the three people: "This time we are actually invited by the daimyo."

"Daimyo?"

Kurama Sanyo's eyes widened, and he was quite excited: "Does the daimyo already know us?"

Namikaze Minato smiled and said: "No, the daimyo wants to form his own ninja guard, and has recruited a few people, and wants to ask the village to send ninjas to exchange some things, so the third generation Hokage gave this task to us."

Kurama Sanyo was slightly disappointed, but then he wondered: "Isn't Konoha a ninja village in the Land of Fire? Why does the daimyo want to form his own ninja guard? Can't he just let the village send people?"

This is also what Uchiha Shisui wondered, and he couldn't help looking at Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze looked at Shuichi Hoshita: "Shuichi, what do you think?"

Shuichi Hoshita pretended to think about it, and said: "Hokage is Hokage, daimyo is daimyo!"

"The Land of Fire is the Land of Fire, and the daimyo is the daimyo!"

Kurama Sanyo was confused.

Uchiha Shisui was thoughtful.

Namikaze Minato said: "Although the village can send out ninja teams to take turns to protect the daimyo, it is not as useful as the ninja who directly obeys his orders."

Hoshita Shuichi continued: "Just like the Hokage has a direct Anbu, instead of giving orders to the Root."

Kurama Sanyo suddenly realized: "So that's it."

Namakaze Minato was secretly surprised: "What a keen sense of touch..."

Before the Second Shinobi World War, there was nothing. After the war, the Hokage's orders to the Root were indeed only issued through Danzo, the leader of the Root, rather than directly.

Of course, this is also normal under normal circumstances.

Just as the Hokage would not directly order Hoshita Shuichi, Uchiha Shisui, and Kurama Sanyo to perform a certain task, but would issue orders to him as the team leader, unless the team leader was not there.

But the root and Danzo now...

Namikaze Minato frowned secretly

At this time, Uchiha Shisui thought: "Just like ninja tools, borrowing others' is naturally not as good as having your own."

Hoshita Hideichi nodded and said: "That's right, and people have thoughts, which are more difficult to master than ninja tools."

Namikaze Minato smiled and changed the subject: "Okay, this is the mission situation."

"Perform well when you arrive at the daimyo's mansion, and let the daimyo know that Konoha's ninjas are the best."

"Understood!"

"Don't worry, Minato teacher, we will never let anyone look down on us!"

...

Although the topic has changed, Hoshita Hideichi's mind is still there.

The daimyo wants to train his own ninjas, so is this the beginning of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas?

This reminded Hoshita Shuichi of Sarutobi Asuma.

Then he thought of Yuan Fei Shinnosuke.

Compared to his brother, Sarutobi Asuma does seem quite rebellious.

When he was in the ninja school, Sarutobi Hiruzen came to preach about the will of fire, but this guy contradicted him several times.

But for someone who is only five or six years old, it is normal.

Kakashi didn't pull too.

"Maybe I'm the outlier?"

Hoshita Shuichi laughed secretly.

…

At noon, Hoshixia Xiuyi and four others arrived at Daming Mansion, the largest and most prosperous city in the Fire Country.

The sky is clear and the streets are very lively, making people dizzy.

Namikaze Minato was not in a hurry to see the daimyo, so he took Hoshita Shuichi and the others shopping and bought a lot of snacks.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Hoshita Shuichi and four others entered the daimyo's official residence and met the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire was slightly dissatisfied when he saw Hoshita Shuichi and the others: "The Hokage just asked you to come?"

A young man who looked no more than twenty years old, and the other three were children.

The Hokage was looking down on him and perfunctory him!

At this time, Shuichi Hoshita and the other four were all kneeling on one knee. After hearing this, Minato Namikaze raised his head slightly and said, "Don't worry, Daimyo-dono, Shisui and the others are all very good genin. They have killed many times in the Land of Rain." to one’s own enemies.”

"As for me, I am also a Jonin of Konoha. I am willing to accept any test from you, and I will never let you down!"

The name of the Fire Country was noncommittal and said calmly: "In that case, let's give it a try!"

After saying that, he covered his mouth with his fan and gave some instructions to the attendant next to him.
