Hokage: Starting With Saving Konan

"Um?"

Saigoji Youmu stopped in his tracks.

"What's wrong? Senior Saigoji?"

Seeing Saigoji Youmu stopped without warning, Namikaze Minato couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, I suddenly thought of something."

Saigoji Youmu shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

"Keep going."

 …

Whoosh whoosh.

In the dense forest.

The figures of Saigoji Youmu and the five quickly passed over the tall trees.

"Senior Saigoji, what's wrong?"

Uzumaki Kushina turned his head to look at Konan beside him.

Since the inexplicable stop just now, Saigoji Youmu has not said a word.

His weird performance caught the attention of Uzumaki Kushina.

Hearing Uzumaki Kushina's words, others also looked at Konan inquiringly.

Konan is often by Saigoji Youmu's side, maybe she can know something.

"I don't know."

Konan shook his head.

Admittedly, her stay with Saigoji Youmu was not short on events.

However, Konan's knowledge of Saigoji Youmu is only superficial.

She has never understood Saigoji Youmu's heart at all.

ahead.

Saigoji Youmu did not notice the comments of Namikaze Minato et al.

At this moment, all her heart is immersed in the system in her mind.

The hazy black mist dissipated a little.

The second piece, which had been hidden in the black mist, showed its true face.

The sword is very delicate and gorgeous.

It's exactly the same as what Saigoji Youmu saw when he didn't draw his first sword.

The only difference is that it is longer.

"What's going on, system."

"Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kuno, are you related?"

"They're not connected to the system."

"It's just the host's act of promoting the union of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kuno."

"It was judged by the system to meet the conditions for unlocking the second sword."

The seven swords system was briefly explained.

"What are the conditions for unlocking the sword?"

"Promote the development of the plot?"

Saigoji Youmu remembered the beep that sounded in his head earlier.

"Yes."

The Seven Swords system did not deny it.

"However, not all actions that advance the development of the plot are OK."

"Only when the intensity of promotion reaches a certain level can the conditions for unblocking be met."

"That's it."

A strange light flashed in Saigoji Youmu's eyes.

It seems that he will move more in the future.

"The second sword is unsealed, and the host gets a chance to draw it."

"Excuse me, Host, do you want to draw now?"

asked the system.

"Not drawing for now."

The most urgent task is to solve the matter of Uzumaki Jiunuo first.

As for drawing the sword.

Anyway, the opportunity has already been obtained and will not run away, so there is no need to worry for now.

 …

Early morning a few days later.

Saigoji Youmu and his team returned to Konoha Village.

The first thing a few people do when they come back is to go to Hokage's office.

Uzumaki Jiunuo being kidnapped by ninjas from other countries is a big deal.

They had to tell Sarutobi Hiruzen all about the whole story.

In Hokage's office.

"Master Hokage, that's the way it is."

Uzumaki Jiuno, Namikaze Minato, Konan, and Uzumaki Kushina told Sarutobi Hiruzen the whole story.

"I see."

"Boys, you are doing well."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's gratified eyes swept over Uzumaki Jiuno and others one by one.

When I scanned Namikaze Minato, I paused for a while.

This time, the behavior of Namikaze Minato and others was somewhat reckless.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen is more than satisfied.

This kind of quality of cherishing friendship and valuing companions is what he is most willing to see.

Because Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks.

Only such a person can inherit the will of fire and become an Excellent Konoha Shinobi.

"Go back first."

"I have something to talk to Youmu alone."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Namikaze Minato and others responded, and then left Hokage's office one after another.

"Namikaze Minato is amazingly talented and has a clean pedigree."

"It is very suitable to be cultivated as a direct descendant of the Hokage line."

Saigoji Youmu said.

The strangeness in Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze just now, could not be hidden from his eyes.

"I really can't hide anything from you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled wryly.

This sentence is equivalent to tacitly acquiescing that he just thought so.

"What do you want to tell me?"

"Nothing, just wanted to say thank you."

"No, even without me, Uzumaki Juno will be fine."
