Chapter 465 Hokage Candidate(1/2)
Obito got up early today because he has become a jounin. According to Kakashi's experience, Mu Yue will give him a jounin gift.
Obito is looking forward to this very much, and he also wants to have a psychic beast with great potential.
At the same time, Obito was a little worried. Mu Yue had said before that he did not have any Ninja Eggs on hand at the moment, which meant that Obito's Jonin gift was not necessarily a Ninja Egg, but could also be other gifts.
Although Obito would be happy as long as it was a gift from Mugetsu, if Kakashi had something that he didn't have, Obito would still feel a little uncomfortable.
Watching Mu Yue approaching, Obito cast an expectant look.
When Obito watched Mu Yue walk up to him with empty hands, Obito felt a little uneasy.
He looked left and right and looked at Mu Yue's body, but it didn't look like there were ninja beast eggs hidden on Mu Yue's body. After all, the ninja beast eggs Mu Yue sent out were quite big, so it was quite difficult to hide them on her body.
Seeing that Obito seemed a little disappointed, Mu Yue took out the ninja beast egg from the system backpack with a thought, and a big egg appeared out of thin air in Mu Yue's hand.
"Obito, congratulations on becoming a Jonin." Mu Yue showed a warm smile and handed the Pokémon egg that only Obito could hatch to Obito.
The disappointed expression on Obito's face faded, replaced by an expression of indescribable joy.
"Teacher Muyue, thank you for your gift. I will definitely hatch the ninja beast and train him into the strongest psychic beast!" Obito said excitedly, clenching his fists.
Although he said before that "it's just that" and "I don't like psychic beasts very much", these were just words made out of anger and were not Obito's true thoughts.
The protagonist of ninja novels usually has a fierce and handsome psychic beast, usually a tiger or a lion or a flying dragon. Obito also wanted to have a handsome and fierce psychic beast like the protagonist of the novel.
"Yes, I believe it." Mu Yue smiled and nodded.
[You gave the disciple a Pokémon egg, and because the disciple was very grateful for the big critical hit, you received the reward - Water Release and Sky Cry (Mastery Level)]
As the reward information popped up, a large number of training experiences related to Tianqi appeared in Mu Yue's mind.
In fact, Tianqi Muyue had encountered it before in class, but only twice, so her proficiency was still at the beginning. Now she has mastered it directly, which is pretty good.
Different from water escape ninjutsu like water dragon bullets, Tianqi is a water escape that uses point-breaking surface. Its main focus is fast speed and high penetrating power, and because its body is as thin as a needle, it is relatively difficult to detect.
Holding the hard-earned ninja beast egg in his arms, Obito couldn't help but smile. He was imagining how tall and powerful the ninja beast would be when his ninja beast egg hatched.
Until Kakashi Shisui and the others arrived, Obito was still holding the ninja egg happily.
Kakashi walked past Obito with an indifferent expression. He obtained the ninja beast egg earlier than Obito, and the ninja beasts hatched out.
"Kakashi, how did you know that I was promoted to Jonin?" Obito couldn't help but said after seeing Kakashi.
Kakashi:……
Who asked you?
"It's not unusual to be promoted to Jonin. Look at Shisui, he became a Jonin at the age of eight. This is something worth mentioning." Kakashi said unceremoniously.
Because the Wuxiang Sword was too difficult, Kakashi never made any progress. Originally, he wanted to concentrate on training and ignore other things. Since Obito wanted to make himself miserable, Kakashi wouldn't be polite.
"Uh, Shisui..." Obito was speechless, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute.
Logically speaking, he was already the youngest person in Konoha to become a Jonin at the age of ten, but it was indeed a little less interesting than Shisui's eight-year-old.
"If you are too idle, practice more, otherwise you won't be able to advance to the second round of the next civil war. Shisui has also mastered the Breath of Fire Chakra mode." After Kakashi said this, he entered the state and started practicing.
He didn't say this just for the sake of Qi Obito. Shisui's breakthrough did put a lot of pressure on him.
Kakashi believed that if the civil war among his disciples started immediately, he would not be 100% sure of defeating any one of them.
Metkai is an opponent he will definitely not be able to defeat, and Shisui and Obito are not very confident as opponents for Kakashi.
Among them, Kakashi felt that he would have a better chance of winning against Obito than against Shisui.
Obito was speechless as he hugged the egg. Kakashi had finished saying all the good and bad things, and he couldn't even refute anything.
"Then now Shisui knows one more weapon color than me." Obito held the egg in his right hand and scratched his head with his left hand.
Although Obito's Breath of Fire is still a bit stronger, it is not strong enough to make up for the gap of an armed color secret technique.
The only thing that makes Obito happy is that they have limited chakra now. If Shisui uses the Breath of Fire chakra mode in battle, it will definitely be difficult to retain chakra to use the weapon color.
If Shisui uses the Armament Color first, the Fire Release that can be released in the Breath of Fire Chakra Mode later will be less.
Obito could only reluctantly put the ninja egg in a safe place and start training.
Being at the bottom of the civil war is really painful. Not only is it a matter of face, the punishment is also hard for Obito to accept.
The practice lasted until half past five in the afternoon.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, when Mu Yue was preparing to eat, there was a knock on his door.
Mu Yue did not open the door directly. He opened his white eyes and looked at the door, and found that the person knocking on the door was actually Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Then Muyue walked to the door at a normal speed and opened the door. When she saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, she made a surprised expression, as if she was surprised why the third generation Hokage, who had everything to do, appeared at his door.
"Sandaime-sama, please come in." Mu Yue reacted and quickly invited Sarutobi Hiruzen in.
Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the steaming dishes on the meal and smiled apologetically and said, "I'm so sorry, it seems I disturbed Mu Yue while you were enjoying your dinner."
"No problem, Sandaime-sama, have you eaten?" Mu Yue played the classic starting card.
"Not yet. There are a lot of things that need to be dealt with recently. I just left the Hokage Building." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.
"If I had time, I would have called Mu Yue, the great hero of the East Coast battlefield, to the Hokage Building to have a chat." Sarutobi Hiruzen used a joke to point out the importance he attached to Mu Yue.
"No, Orochimaru-sama is the real hero on the east coast battlefield." Mu Yue said seriously.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's words sounded nice, but he couldn't accept them all. The one who deserved the most credit must be the commander with the highest position.
"Sandaime-sama, if you don't mind, can you arrange dinner at my place? I know a thing or two about cooking."
"Then I'll have to look forward to your craftsmanship, Mu Yue." Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed with a smile.
There were many reasons why he chose to come to Mu Yue's house in person, one of which was to make Mu Yue feel better about him.
In the past, Sarutobi Hiruzen's image to Mu Yue was more of a good Hokage and a good teacher. Today, he will let go of his identity and become Mu Yue's ordinary elder. Having dinner together is a good development.
Of course, it was impossible for Hiruzen Sarutobi to agree to eat just because Mu Yue knew a thing or two about cooking. He was one of the top five ninja village hokages and had never tasted any delicacies.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was indeed very busy during the war, but even the ninja world did not fight wars every year. During peacetime, Hokage's life was very nourishing.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who didn't take it seriously, changed his expression after taking the first bite of fried meat.
With Sarutobi Hiruzen's rich vocabulary, he didn't even know what words to use to describe such delicious food. In a trance, he seemed to be a wild beast running on the prairie, and a sense of unfettered freedom surrounded his heart.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen came back to his senses, the way he looked at Mu Yue changed.
If it weren't for his extremely terrifying ninjutsu skills, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have been able to trick himself into a genjutsu.
But he knew very well that he had not been hit by any ninjutsu just now, and that immersive feeling was entirely an illusion caused by the food being too delicious.
"Muyue, you should change your modesty. This is not just a matter of knowledge, but unparalleled in the world." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed after recalling the indescribable deliciousness just now.
He retracted his preamble, Sarutobi Hiruzen had never tasted such delicacies before, a dish could actually have such a magical effect.
"Sandaime-sama, you are ridiculous. The ninja world is so vast. The term "unparalleled" is too exaggerated." Mu Yue said modestly.
"You, it would be nice if Jiraiya could reconcile with you." Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a helpless smile, and then unconsciously moved his hands to the dishes on another plate.
Next, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have entered the world of gourmet food, and he did not bring up any topics other than cooking before finishing his meal.
After finishing the meal, Sarutobi Hiruzen remembered his purpose.
"It's good to chat in this kind of environment. If it were in the Hokage's office, there wouldn't even be a place for you to sit, Muyue." Sarutobi Hiruzen joked.
"Mu Yue, please relax. I don't want to discuss any big things with you. Just treat me as an ordinary elder in the family. Let's talk casually."
The expression on Mu Yue's face softened a lot, and she seemed to be moved by Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.
"Asma has been practicing quite hard recently and has learned a lot of wind and fire escapes..."
It seemed that Sarutobi Hiruzen really just wanted to chat with Mu Yue about some domestic matters, and talked about Asuma's training.
"That kid Asuma has actually always worked hard. Although Asuma usually seems a bit rebellious and doesn't respect you, Sandaime-sama, in fact, he always wants your recognition in his heart."
Mu Yue followed Sarutobi Hiruzen's words and helped them adjust the relationship between father and son.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed slightly. He has been the Hokage for so many years. Can't he still see his son's thoughts? But sometimes Sarutobi Hiruzen is worried that Asuma will be complacent and then lower himself.
Require.
Next, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Muzuki talked about a lot, ranging from Asuma and the work of the ninja school to the situation on the battlefield and the situation in the ninja world.
"Muyue, which ninja do you think is most qualified to become the Fourth Hokage?" Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly asked.
After all, Mu Yue is a ninja born at the root. Although Mu Yue should prefer the life of a ninja school teacher and an ordinary ninja according to Sarutobi Hiruzen's observation, he knows a little about the training that a ninja at the root has undergone.
Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot rule out that Shimura Danzo used this to let Muzuki support Orochimaru to become Hokage.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't worry about this before Mu Yue went to the east coast battlefield, but now Mu Yue has become the second Namikaze Minato. Not only is he powerful, he also has considerable influence in Konoha.
Coupled with the power of Shimura Danzo and Orochimaru themselves, Sarutobi Hiruzen was worried that if it continued to develop, something he did not want to see would happen when the Fourth Hokage was elected.
Mu Yue looked thoughtful, as if she was carefully choosing the candidate in her mind.
"I think Lord Orochimaru, Lord Jiraiya, and Lord Tsunade are all qualified to become the fourth generation." Mu Yue seemed to be having trouble making a choice.
In fact, the best answer to this kind of thing is to say that the situation is serious and does not deserve to be judged. However, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already said to chat casually before, so Mu Yue would not be able to politely refuse like this.
Hearing Mu Yue's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen was almost laughed out of anger. He asked which ninja, but Mu Yue said three in one breath, referring to all three of his disciples.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen has achieved his goal. Since Mu Yue has this political wisdom, he should not be deceived by Danzo Shimura into supporting Orochimaru.
