Chapter 95: Love makes people blind, and they always want to die afterwards!
Although the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is always timid when facing Danzo in some meetings, the power he holds in his hands is real.
A daimyo is the head of a country, the apex of a country, possessing the highest administrative power and the highest military power.
The daimyo is not a virtual king who rules without rule. This is reflected in the fact that the daimyo can directly appoint the leader of the Ninja Village, the most important military power in the country.
and the right to decide whether to launch a war.
Because of some interactions between a certain person (Gintoki) and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire in the past two years, the Daimyo more or less tilted some resources towards Minato.
In some meetings, the daimyo would invite Gintoki from Minato's faction to participate, although most of the time Gintoki would just look carefree and pick his nose the whole time.
But the daimyo just likes Gintoki, and he just likes to be heartless friends with Gintoki. The daimyo is tired of the rest of the old-fashioned Konoha senior officials.
The smart Minato also learned how to gain the friendship of the daimyo by standing up for him in the meeting.
Because Minato often stood up, the daimyo was no longer afraid of the cold-faced Danzo. His favorable impression of Minato, the Hokage, was also growing day by day.
Moreover, the Daimyo of the Fire Country is actually a trouble-shy master at heart. In the past two years, he has bypassed the ministers under the Daimyo and directly handed over many of his own decision-making tasks to the Hokage.
Therefore, the power of the Hokage has been improved compared to before. At least some small matters such as interactions between Konoha and some small countries no longer require the consent of the daimyo.
Even if the ministers put the report in front of the daimyo, the other side would wave their hands and say: Oh...what the Fourth Hokage decided should not be wrong, I am optimistic about him.
This also made some high-level officials in Konoha jealous. After the Hokage reached the fourth generation, he could still encounter such a good thing!
In a sense, the power of Minato's generation of Hokage has exceeded that of any Hokage in any period. Not only Konoha, but also the management of some villages and daimyo around Konoha have been left to the Hokage!
Closer to home, it was precisely because of the friendly attitude of the daimyo that Minato dared to make the decision to go to Amegakure to participate in a meeting involving many countries.
Minato, who promised to be there, watched the very moved Nagato leave, and then proposed to Shikaku who was standing aside.
"Shikaku, come back to work at the Hokage Building."
At this moment, Nara Shikaku was flattered. He knew what this sentence meant. Although it might still not reach the decision-making level, but...
It's totally okay to have a suggestion layer where you can make your own suggestions to the Hokage!
"Hi! Thank you for trusting me, Hokage-sama!"
…
The tedious farewell ceremony that lasted all morning finally came to an end before lunch time. After all, we couldn’t go back for lunch before leaving.
It doesn't make sense, and it doesn't look good either.
Ninjas from all over the world said their goodbyes and left, fearing that if they waited a little longer it would be dinner time and the host would be embarrassed.
However, at this moment, Gintoki rolled his eyes and returned to the Miko Shrine in the Kingdom of Demons on the grounds that the Ninja World Water Spirits and Water Spirits special edition of the Demon Kingdom that he bought in the Demon Kingdom was left behind.
"That stupid brother..."
Kakashi held his forehead and complained helplessly.
"Just let me go!" Obito nodded.
"That's not what I'm talking about..." Kakashi was speechless.
Minato, who knew that Gintoki was definitely not just going back for some adult magazine, smiled and said, "Okay, let's set off first. For such a long distance, the Flying Thunder God can only bring..."
Looking at Minato who looked troubled, Kakashi waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Hokage-sama, please go back with Kushina-sama."
Shisui nodded: "Well, after all, Hokage still has a lot of work to deal with. It's better for Hokage-sama not to pay attention to us."
"Well, I'll wait for Brother Gintoki."
Obito nodded, but from time to time his eyes glanced at the graceful Lin beside him. Obito wished he could spend more time with Lin.
besides……
Obito glanced at Kakashi who was resting his hands on his head and staring at him with unmotivated eyes, and a feeling of frustration emerged in his heart.
I didn’t expect that Kakashi already had that kind of experience. As Kakashi’s opponent, I couldn’t fall behind!
Confession? Do you want to confess?!
By the way, how will Lin respond after confessing her love? What if she refuses? Can I die? If I don’t die, I feel like I can’t face Lin again!
So if you are going to die, how should you choose a way to die? It is best to choose a way that is not too painful. If it is too painful, forget it.
No, that's not right!
Obito suddenly slapped his cheek.
Why do I only think about failure? What if I succeed? What if Lin agrees to be my girlfriend? What if...
"Hey hey hey..."
Kakashi looked disgusted when he saw Obito falling into a certain state after inexplicably patting his cheek and letting out a very disgusting laugh.
Zhisui put his hands in his hands and coughed twice, but it had no effect. This "other" who was older than himself was still immersed in some kind of fantasy.
Even Lin didn't know how to react because of Obito's expression, so she quickly patted Obito on the shoulder.
"Obito."
Obito, who came back to his senses after being photographed by the goddess, also realized his gaffe, scratched his head and blushed in embarrassment, unable to say a word.
Even Obito didn't realize that what he should consider now is not the issue of failure or success after confessing, but the issue of whether he can say it out loud.
Just when Obito didn't know what to say to defend his behavior just now, Kushina's somewhat loud voice came over.
"...I told you no need! I just want to see the desert. You can go back by yourself first!"
"Kushina..."
"Huh! I don't want to go back with you!"
Kushina's attitude was resolute, she wouldn't even let Minato touch her, and she would get angry if she touched him.
Although he didn't know what he had done wrong, Minato, who should have the courage to admit his mistakes even if he had not done anything wrong at this time, was about to apologize when he saw Kushina taking the lead on the road alone!
Minato, who couldn't get Kushina to change her mind about taking the high-speed train with him even after coaxing, pi... and saying nice things for half an hour, finally gave up.
Because there was a very important meeting that required the presence of the Hokage in two minutes, so after Minato gave a few serious instructions to Shisui and others who already knew the identity of Kushina's Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, he returned to the wood with a flying thunder god.
leaf.
Of course, although Kushina could be taken back by force, Minato had a feeling that if he did that, there would be some bigger trouble waiting for him.
…
Just after nightfall, Gintoki caught up with Kushina's group who had just entered the Kingdom of Wind.
Before Kakashi, who was making a fire to cook, could say anything, Gintoki took the initiative and threw a transparent bell to Kakashi.
