Looking at Minato's expression, Nagase instantly knew what he was thinking and shook his head.
"It was difficult to get her to join your ANBU. She simply got tired of the darkness she saw in the Root, so she quit and built an orphanage to help war orphans."
Seeing Nagase say this, Minato couldn't help but reveal a look of pity.
He is now eager to recruit talented people.
There was no way, the gap in his new Anbu was still too big, and many secret operations in the village were still being carried out by the third generation's Anbu.
Some people may be curious, Konoha is the strongest hidden village in the ninja world, with so many ninjas, can't you transfer some ninjas to the Anbu
Although it sounds ridiculous, it is really like this in Iruma's Konoha.
First, Konoha had just experienced the Third Ninja World War, in which it suffered heavy losses, with ninjas at all levels, from middle to lower levels, suffering heavy losses.
Second, Konoha actually does not lack capable Anbu. It is the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze who lacks Anbu. The Third Hokage's Anbu are very complete.
Under such circumstances, if Minato wanted to transfer a large number of powerful ninjas into the Anbu, there would definitely be problems in other departments. The Third Hokage would definitely not agree, and neither would other senior officials.
The reason is simple. It is unnecessary. It is not as if the Anbu is short of staff. Why should we transfer ninjas to the Anbu at the expense of other departments
Minato also knew this, and he had no choice but to train the new generation himself.
That's why when he heard that there was a retired ninja that Danzo couldn't forget, he thought of recruiting him into the Anbu.
Seeing Minato's disappointed face, Nagase smiled and said, "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Give me two or three years, and I guarantee that your new Anbu will be reborn."
He has a training system from the pirate world, as well as a system of points, so he can train talents very quickly.
Minato nodded and asked casually, "How did Kakashi perform on this mission?"
"It was fine in the beginning, but I exposed myself at the very end. Although it was an unexpected situation and I was able to remedy it, it was indeed a bit wrong. But overall it's not bad," Nagasawa commented.
"Sorry to trouble you, but I am obviously his teacher." There was a hint of apology in Minato's words.
Nagase waved his hand to show that he didn't care and said, "It's okay. He has to help me anyway. Besides, Kakashi is really talented. If he is trained well, he may become a general of the Anbu in the future."
After talking about Kakashi, the two chatted about some family matters, such as Minato saying that Kushina's cooking was getting more and more delicious.
Yongze just smiled faintly at this and said, "You laugh at me for being single, and I laugh at you for being henpecked. We are both the same. Big brother, don't make fun of the second brother."
… … … … …
… … … … …
After leaving the Hokage Building, Nagase did not return to the Anbu, nor did he go to find Kakashi and the others. Instead, he came to the dumpling shop alone.
He walked up to Boss Watanabe in a familiar manner and said, "Watanabe is the same as always, you know."
Boss Watanabe smiled and said, "Okay, Nagasawa-kun, wait a moment, I'll make it for you."
After a while, Nagase's three-point meatballs with added ingredients were served.
It was already afternoon, just after the lunch rush, and there were not many people in the store. Boss Watanabe simply sat next to Nagase and asked with a smile:
"Nagazawa-kun, are you out on a mission? You haven't come to buy dango from me in two weeks. At first I thought there was a new and better dango shop opened in the village."
After saying that, the boss stood up, took a glass, filled it with water and placed it on the table where Yongze was sitting.
Nagase finished a portion of dango, picked up the glass and drank a sip of water, then laughed and said, "Let's go do the mission. Boss Watanabe, you must have confidence. Your dango is absolutely invincible in Konoha."
Boss Watanabe stroked his mustache and said, "Really? But some customers seem to think my dumplings are too sweet."
Nagase said disdainfully: "That's because they don't know how to appreciate it! If dango is not sweet, then it's still dango. People like that can't comprehend the true charm of dango."
Boss Watanabe laughed dumbly twice, "Nagaze-kun, your taste is indeed beyond the reach of most people."
Yongze showed a proud look on his face, and said like a lonely master: "The truth is often in the hands of a few people."
After hearing this, Mr. Watanabe thought for a while and sighed, "Mr. Nagase, you always say philosophical things in strange situations."
After eating, Nagase packed some normal dumplings as usual and walked towards the orphanage.
The mission is completed, so you have to relax, show off in front of the beauty, and check whether the tool you booked in advance has grown crooked.
When he arrived at the orphanage, Nagase found Nono was teaching the children in the orphanage in the classroom, teaching them how to read.
Nagase did not disturb Nono, but just stood quietly outside the door with the meatballs in his hand, waiting for the get out of class to end.
If he went in, the class would probably be disrupted for a while, because once the children start moving, it would be difficult for them to calm down.
Nono didn't let Nagase wait too long. After about ten minutes, she said that the get out of class could end early and said to the children with a smile:
"Your brother Yongze is here to see you, why don't you invite him in?"
Then, a large group of children rushed towards the dumpling in Nagase's hand.
After dividing the food and getting rid of some of the children who were pestering him, Nagase came to Nono.
"How do you feel? The village subsidy for this month should be delivered to you tomorrow." Yongze said with a hint of teasing on his face.
He still remembered Nono's indifferent expression at the beginning.
Nonoyu obviously remembered his attitude at that time, and his face turned red, but he still thanked Nagase earnestly:
"Thank you, Yongze. With the village's subsidy, things will be much better in the future."
Although being slapped in the face is not pleasant and is very shameful, if this is the result every time, Nono hopes to receive more slaps in the face.
"It's okay, it's just a small favor. After all, although they are war orphans, they are also part of Konoha and the Land of Fire." Nagase said with a smile.
Nagase noticed that Nono had been looking at him and couldn't help but jokingly asked, "Why, you don't recognize me after two weeks of not seeing me?"
Nono said honestly: "I wonder if you are the Fourth Hokage in disguise."
"Oh?" Nagaze became interested.
"I heard that it was the Fourth Hokage who managed to make the orphanage an official Konoha property, and it receives a monthly subsidy. But Nagase, you..."
"Just an ordinary Chunin, right?" Nagase smiled and continued what Nono had not finished saying.
"But no one has stipulated that ordinary Chunins can't be friends with the Hokage. Minato and I have been good friends since we were in the Ninja School."
Nono looked at Nagase with different eyes. Wow, he turned out to be the legendary relative.
