Chapter 153: The Shadow Guard's Escort Mission

For now, Minato Namikaze's Shadow Guards have a far greater symbolic role than actual role. After all, if an enemy that even Minato Namikaze can't deal with appears, Liu Yu and others will be tantamount to committing suicide. At present, except for Liu Yu, the strength of the other three members of the Shadow Guards is still too weak.

Minato Namikaze probably has another consideration for passing the Flying Thunder God Technique to a few people, that is, he doesn't want them to repeat the tragedy of Obito and Rin, and hopes that they can successfully escape when facing too powerful enemies.

There are actually advantages to selecting the new generation such as Shiranui Genma into the Shadow Guards. Because they have experienced war too early, they appear to be more mature and have a faster understanding of things. If they are well trained, they may grow into powerful ninjas.

Although Shiranui Genma and the other three are only at the level of Chunin now, they are only in their teens now and have a lot of room for growth. The three are already very good among ninjas of the same age. After all, not everyone is as perverted as Kakashi and Liu Yu.

In the original work, if Minato Namikaze had not died early because of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, under Minato Namikaze's training, perhaps Shiranui Genma and the other two could really master the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Becoming a member of the Shadow Guard does not mean that Liu Yu will no longer accept other tasks. The tasks that Liu Yu is currently performing are basically issued by Minato Namikaze himself, and more of them are about the village's secrets.

After demonstrating the reverse summoning of Sankazuki Munechika in front of Minato Namikaze, Liu Yu also told Minato Namikaze the secret that Sankazuki Munechika can open the ancestral shrine space.

In other words, once Liu Yu encounters an enemy that he cannot defeat, he can also return to the ancestral shrine space through Sankazuki Munechika, and then return to Konoha through the Black Stone Boundary Monument. In this way, the danger of Liu Yu going out to perform tasks is greatly reduced, after all, if he can't beat him, he can still run.

Regarding whether to tell Minato Namikaze the secret that Sankazuki Munechika is the first key to the Black Stone Boundary Monument, Liu Yu hesitated for a while, and finally Liu Yu decided to believe Minato Namikaze. It was because of knowing the secret of Ryuu Mikazuki Munechika that Minato Namikaze allowed Ryuu to give up practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique.

However, it was also because he no longer worried about Ryuu's safety that the level of tasks performed by Ryuu was getting higher and higher, and the enemies he encountered were getting stronger and stronger. However, so far, Ryuu's tasks have been successfully completed, and Ryuu has not encountered any enemies who need to escape back to Konoha through the ancestral temple space.

"Are you ready?"

In front of the main gate of Konoha, looking at the four people ready to go in front of him, Minato Namikaze asked with a smile.

"Ready!"

The four people replied with full energy.

"In that case, let's go!"

Minato Namikaze replied with a smile, and then he walked out of the gate first. The Konoha ninja guarding the gate cast a look of endless respect on him.

"Yes!"

Several people replied in unison, and then followed the pace of Minato Namikaze. Among them, Shiranui Genma, Bizuki Raito, and Die Iwashi were full of excitement on their faces, and even Ryuu couldn't help showing a hint of excitement.

Finally, I don't have to be so busy anymore. In the past two months, I have been busy carrying out various tasks issued by Minato Namikaze, which has exhausted Liu Yu. According to Minato Namikaze, those who are capable should do more work.

This time, the task is much easier, because this time their task is to escort Minato Namikaze to the Land of Fire to meet the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. The escort target is Minato Namikaze, and this mission looks like a sightseeing tour.

As the highest leader of the Land of Fire, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire needs to maintain close contact with the highest leader of Konoha, the Hokage. In addition to the endless powerful ninjas in the village, the financial and various material support of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is also indispensable for the growth and development of Konoha Village to become the first ninja village in the ninja world.

It is precisely because of the support of the Land of Fire, the country with the richest human resources on the continent, that Konoha Village can become the first of the five major ninja villages.

As the highest leader of the Land of Fire, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has a huge influence on Konoha, and even the appointment of the Hokage of Konoha Village needs to be recognized by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Although the daimyo will not oppose the election of the Hokage in Konoha Village, and his appointment of the Hokage is more nominal, the influence of the daimyo on the village cannot be ignored. For the personal safety of the daimyo of the Fire Country, Konoha Village has always selected powerful ninjas to go to the capital of the Fire Country to perform escort tasks.

When Namikaze Minato succeeded to become the fourth generation Hokage, because he was still in the war and busy with affairs, the daimyo of the Fire Country only sent a message to express his agreement with Namikaze Minato's succession, and the two sides did not meet.

Now everything in Konoha is on the right track, and it is time for Namikaze Minato, as the Hokage, to meet the daimyo of the Fire Country. It just so happens that the annual Fire Emperor Festival of the Fire Country will be held soon. On such an important occasion, the daimyo and the Hokage are suitable to attend the grand celebration together.

Namikaze Minato is going to the capital of the Fire Country to meet with the daimyo, and the shadow guards who have been formed not long ago will accompany him. It is not difficult to understand why the three people, Shiranui Genma, are so excited. As the Hokage's guard, escorting the Hokage to meet the Fire Country Daimyo, just thinking about it makes people extremely excited.

Under the sun, five figures walked slowly on the forest path. They were the group of Namikaze Minato who were heading to the Fire Country capital.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time we have carried out a mission since the establishment of the Shadow Guard!"

Looking at several companions around, they said excitedly.

"It's not us, it's you."

Ryūha softly corrected Bingzu Rai's mistake. Since he didn't need to practice the Flying Thunder God Technique, Namikaze Minato had arranged many tasks for him in the past two months. That is to say, while Shiranui Genma, Hiratsuki, and Iwahi were practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique, Ryūha was still working hard outside to perform the task.

Hearing Ryūha's slightly complaining words, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but feel a flash of embarrassment on his face. It's not that he wanted to trouble Liu Yu, it was Liu Yu who had to do those tasks.

"Ahem!"

Shiranui Genma coughed twice, and then gave Minami Ashira the same look with slight dissatisfaction, as if to warn him that as the Hokage-sama's guard, he needed to be more steady and not be so impetuous. Then he glanced at Liu Yu again, indicating that he wanted to learn from the captain. Even if it comes to escorting Lord Hokage to meet the Daimyo, he must remain calm. This is what a member of the Shadow Guard should be like.

"That's right!"

Iwakizhi followed Shiranui Genma's words and tried to look calm, trying to fit in with the identity of a member of the Shadow Guard.

After being reminded by Shiranui Genma and Tie Iwaki, Namashi Raido also put away his excited look and tried to look more stable, so as to be consistent with his status as a member of the Shadow Guard.

"A bunch of brats!"

Seeing how precious these people were, Liu Yu couldn't help but complain in her heart, but she forgot that she was younger than the three of them.
