Chapter 115: Farewell, Namikaze Minato (Edited)

"It's great that you're back safe and sound. Now that you're back, we can discuss our next moves," Nodding to Tsunade, Sakumo ordered the ninja outside to bring two more chairs.

Tsunade wasn't too polite and sat down.

Naito didn't want to be part of any meeting, but seeing this, he shook his head before casually sitting down as well.

The meeting started directly.

However, Danzo's face, from the moment Tsunade returned, turned ugly, and even his voice seemed to become a little hoarse when he spoke.

The moment the meeting ended, Danzo immediately turned around and left.

The others also left, leaving only Naito, Tsunade and Sakumo.

"Take off your mask, Tsunade can tell who you are," Sakumo smiled and looked at Naito, unable to resist patting him on the shoulder after Naito took off his mask, "Well done."

This compliment was extremely sincere.

In his opinion, the fact that Naito had risked saving Tsunade alone was even much more important than Naito assassinating the elite assassination squad that infiltrated near the Konoha camp.

Originally, Sakumo cared more about his teammates, not to mention that Tsunade's status was special.

"What Naito did was more than just saving me," On the side, Tsunade looked at Sakumo and couldn't help but speak softly, while looking at Naito with a glint in her eyes.

Immediately after, Tsunade briefed him on the whole process of the events, including the encounter with the Sunagakure ninjas, and how Naito was able to defeat Chiyo.

At first, Sakumo thought that even if Naito did something surprising, he would not be surprised, because he had already received too many surprises from Naito.

However, when he learned that Naito had defeated Chiyo, the Third Kazekage's advisor, he was still surprised.

Speaking of defeating Chiyo, he had the confidence to do so.

But... how old is Naito?!

He didn't even turn eleven yet!

What does it mean to defeat the Third Kazekage's advisor?

Sakumo felt that he could no longer estimate how strong Naito would become in the future, and even saw in Naito the shadow of the First Hokage of Konoha, Senju Hashirama, who was revered in the ninja world as the 'Ninja God'.

When Sakumo sent the news of Tsunade's rescue at the hands of Naito to Konoha, Naito did not forget to ask Sakumo to add that he needed the second stage of Kumogakure's Lightning Element Chakra Mode.

Of course, it was better if he let the village help him find it.

However, it was difficult to obtain the second stage of the Lightning Element Chakra Mode, as Konoha was currently at war against Amegakure, Sunagakure and Iwagakure.

Naito didn't hold out much hope either.

Removing his mask and cloak, Naito stepped out of the central tent.

Without the mask and cloak, Naito was just a Konoha Genin, not the Konoha Anbu codenamed 'Yujin', who slaughtered the troops of Iwagakure and Sunagakure.

The back-to-back battles had left Naito slightly mentally tired and, after stretching his body, Naito walked around the camp to relax his mind.

The sky was cloudy, but it was not raining.

The camp was crowded with ninja, many of whom glanced at Naito and didn't bother to look at him again.

What Naito didn't expect was that, after walking through the camp, he would run into an acquaintance.

Namikaze Minato!

Naito was surprised when he saw Minato in the camp, was Hiruzen willing to let Minato go to the battlefield?

However, when he saw Minato delivering some supplies, Naito's expression showed a hint of understanding.

It seems that Minato was now a Genin and is now on the team responsible for protecting the transportation of battlefield resources.

Things like pills and medicinal materials can be sealed and transported in scrolls.

However, ingredients that are used for cooking, as well as some weapons that are used on the battlefield, cannot be sealed in a scroll and brought at the same time.

Because the quantity is too large.

Therefore, these things are not particularly important, even if they were ambushed they would not affect the battlefield, that's why they sent Minato, a Genin.

In general, no one will rob them to get some ordinary supplies.

"Naito? You're really here," Minato also noticed Naito, after being a little surprised, he smiled and greeted Naito.

Naito graduated before him, then he never heard any news about Naito, and when he came to the Rain Country, he finally met Naito.

He admired Naito for the fact that he was participating in the battlefield right now.

"Yes," Naito also nodded softly to Minato.

Minato was surprised to see that Naito was not wearing a Chuunin uniform.

I didn't expect Naito to be on the battlefield for so long without being promoted to Chuunin.

"I just graduated from the Ninja Academy and now I'm in charge of supply transport for a while.... Naito, you... You must be about to become a Chuunin, right?", Minato nodded slightly to Naito, but there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Chuunin?

Naito was a little surprised, then he couldn't help but smile and say, "I don't know about that, but right now I'm still a Genin."

"I didn't expect to meet you here again, and we're both Genins, Naito, how about a rematch?", Minato looked at Naito with a defiant expression.

"Well... let's forget about that," Naito couldn't help but smile, suddenly, with a flash of his figure, he came next to Minato and patted his shoulder, saying, "I have something to do, let's talk again next time."

After that, Naito simply turned around and left.

On the other hand, Minato was stunned in his place, his expression was full of disbelief, he couldn't move for a while.

What is this speed!?

Even some of the best Jounins he had seen were not as fast as Naito.

Minato's reaction speed was one of the best in this world, and because of this, Minato's surprise was much greater than other ninja.

He could react at Naito's speed, but his body was not yet ready to move as fast, let alone dodge!

The speed of his body could not keep up with his reactions, in other words, if Naito was an enemy, he could easily kill him!

It was only after a while that Minato recovered from the surprise and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I didn't expect the gap to get even bigger, I thought I had made it smaller.... Naito's speed is incredible, how did this happen, is it because he hasn't participated in the battlefield?"

Thinking about this, Minato could not help but nod his head, estimating Naito's talent, even if he will participate in the battlefield, it would be impossible for him to participate in the battlefield without being protected.

However, once he thought of Naito's terrifying speed, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

"Speed... Speed... Speed...", Looking at the direction in which Naito went, Minato couldn't help but whisper these words over and over again.
