There was a constant whistling of wind in Dou's ears, and he was falling at a very fast speed.
Just as Kabuto closed his eyes tightly, preparing to endure the pain of falling from a height.
The imagined pain did not come, and a pair of strong and warm hands caught him.
Then a familiar voice sounded.
"You can't relax until the very last moment. If you fail, all your efforts will be wasted."
Kabuto opened his eyes wide, and Nagaze's familiar face entered his sight.
At this moment, Dou went from despair to surprise. He thought he was going to fall, but he didn't expect Nagase to come out from nowhere and catch him.
"Okay, I've remembered it this time, and I won't do it again next time." Dou said seriously.
Just when he was about to reach the top, he was indeed a little relaxed, which led to that unnecessary mistake.
Dou swore in his heart that he would never make such a mistake again. This time he was climbing a tree, and even if he failed, it would not be irreversible.
What if it was something else later? What if Nagase didn't arrive in time
"Very good, do you want to try again?" Nagase said with a smile.
Kabuto nodded and walked up to the tree with steady steps.
This time, Dou did not relax at all and was extremely focused. He walked to the top of the tree safely and then came down steadily.
"Well done, keep it up and you will definitely become a qualified ninja." Nagase praised.
At the age of six, he successfully completed the tree-climbing training in just two attempts, which is indeed an excellent achievement.
In fact, he had long anticipated Kabuto's ability to control chakra. After all, Nono had taught Kabuto the basics of medical ninjutsu before, and medical ninjutsu tested the control of chakra.
But children should be praised when necessary, and they should have confidence.
"Next, let me tell you about the properties of Chakra..."
. . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . .
One month later.
Nagase suddenly received an urgent message from Minato, so he came to the Hokage Building.
After knocking on the door and entering the office, Nagase saw Minato's face with his mouth crooked with a smile.
Nagase became curious. Although Minato could act funny and immature sometimes, he would usually control his facial expressions in order to maintain the demeanor of the Hokage in the Hokage's office.
And now Minato was actually laughing like a fool. Something must have happened that made him so happy that he could hardly control himself.
The question is, what could make him so happy
Nagase found out soon enough because Minato didn't keep him in suspense and told him directly.
"Nagaze, I'm going to be a father!" Minato stood up excitedly, ran to Nagaze, grabbed Nagaze's shoulders and said.
"Kushina is pregnant?" Nagase looked calm on the surface, but he was a little worried in his heart.
He was sure that he could defeat the Nine-Tails and repel Obito, but he really didn't know if he could save Kushina.
White Zetsu's Mayfly Technique can directly blend into the earth and vegetation to isolate itself from all auras, and even his Observation Haki cannot do anything about it.
With White Zetsu monitoring Konoha, Obito couldn't hide Kushina's affairs from him.
Through the contract signed between Madara and the Nine-Tails, Obito can easily release the Nine-Tails when Kushina gives birth.
If the Jinchūriki's tailed beast is extracted, he will be severely injured. At that time, even if the Nine-Tails is sealed back into Kushina's body, Kushina, who is dying at that time, may not be able to suppress the Nine-Tails. Kushina is not like Naruto, and she has nothing to do with the Nine-Tails.
'Should we go and find Tsunade...' Nagase thought.
If Tsunade could heal Kushina while the Nine-Tails was sealed inside her, maybe it would work.
"What are you thinking about, Nagasawa? Are you shocked by this news?" Minato laughed without the image of a Hokage.
"It's just a child. You'll know the trouble when you raise it." Yongze suppressed the worry in his heart and said with disdain.
"Why would it be troublesome? I think you just envy me." Minato said proudly.
"Okay, okay, really, if Danzo saw you like this, I don't know what kind of rumors would be spread about you. Did you call me here just to tell you this?" Nagase asked.
If it was just to announce the good news, a more appropriate place would be Minato's home.
"You know, Kushina is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. During a Jinchuriki's pregnancy, the energy used to seal and suppress the tailed beast is used to nurture the fetus, which will cause the seal to weaken and make it inconvenient to take action.
So I want the ANBU Team 7 to take on the responsibility of protecting Kushina during her pregnancy. This is a long-term S-rank mission."
Yongze thought about it and felt that the configuration of his own team seemed to be indeed good, with control and output, and the strength was also decent.
"Forget about them. I have other arrangements for them. I will personally protect Kushina." Nagase thought for a moment and said.
"You? But didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to reform the Anbu and provide special training to the five squads under you? If you go to protect Kushina, what will happen to the work of the Anbu?" asked Minato.
In fact, in addition to Nagase, he also arranged a lot of protection forces, and since they are in Konoha, he will also spend more time with Kushina, so Kushina is absolutely safe.
Isn't it a bit of a waste to let a master like Nagase protect Kushina alone
Although Minato still doesn't know how strong Nagase's true strength is, based on the fact that he single-handedly destroyed the Gold Organization last time, it should be about the same as he imagined.
"I will send a shadow clone to deal with the Anbu. Kushina's safety is more important. Don't forget, she is also my friend." Nagase said.
Although the Anbu reforms will help improve prosperity, Kushina is equally important.
Firstly, he and Kushina had a good relationship and he couldn't bear to see anything happen to his friend; secondly, if anything happened to Kushina, Minato might be upset.
If the tragedy of the original work is repeated, Konoha will be in a terrible state and its prosperity will surely drop significantly.
Minato thought for a moment and said, “Actually, it’s not that bad now. The time to be really vigilant is when you are close to giving birth, that’s when it’s most dangerous.
Why don't you come here in person when you are about to give birth? If you don't come then I will have to drag you here. Now you can ask Kakashi and the others to come."
"That's it." Nagaze nodded.
It is true that there is no need to worry too much in the early stages. If someone really comes, maybe there will be no need for the guards to take action, Kushina can beat those people to pieces by herself.
Nagase wanted to popularize the Six Styles among the Fourth Generation Anbu, and he planned to start with the team under his control.
So this month Nagase has been working hard to improve Kakashi and others' Six Styles level, and also taught them the advanced version of the Six Styles.
Now Kakashi and others have reached the initial level of teaching, but the learners must have a certain level of talent.
So-called teaching means giving practice methods, and then Kakashi and the others demonstrate.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, Kakashi and the others have only been learning for three or four months. It shows that they are talented enough to have reached this level.
In order to allow Kakashi and his friends to take care of both Anbu and guard duties, Nagase decided to let them draw lots to take turns.
