If you say who is the most bitter person here now, it can undoubtedly be said to be this gatekeeper ninja.
Now that he was standing here, looking around, almost everyone was something he couldn't afford to offend.
Namikaze Minato is the fourth-generation Hokage who will succeed Konoha Village. He is not only powerful, but also extremely talented. Now that the identity of Hokage has been recognized by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, he will not have any problems. Soon He will become a new generation of Hokage!
Facing Namikaze Minato...
This gatekeeper ninja couldn't even reply clearly. He could only let it go. He didn't dare to feel the slightest dissatisfaction. Now he was trembling on the ground, and his whole person was not in a good condition.
This is a kind of pressure that comes from the heart!
He knew very well that if he offended Namikaze Minato, it would almost be the same as having no future for him.
After all, he is now the gatekeeper ninja of Konoha Village. Although it is not an important position, it is still a relatively good position. It is not so easy for many other people to achieve this position!
Absolutely not to mess with!
This gatekeeper ninja's heart is still very clear. He understands the seriousness of this matter. If it weren't for Konan, he would not have done anything to dissatisfy Namikaze Minato.
Thinking of Xiaonan...
The gatekeeper ninja knelt on the ground, his heart filled with helplessness. That was a being he couldn't afford to offend!
Konan followed Nagato and Yahiko to Konoha Village. When the three of them came here, they directly called themselves disciples of Lord Jiraiya. Who can withstand this!
This gatekeeper ninja knew that whether something was true or not, it had to be taken seriously.
If it's true…
So if any problems arise due to his slight negligence, then he will not be able to explain clearly at all, and he will become extremely passive in the future.
After all, being a gatekeeper ninja is just a small position. This position cannot offend the Hokage, nor can it offend Master Jiraiya, who is the Sannin of Konoha!
Of course, if the identities of these three people are false, then after he brings Namikaze Minato over, the future Hokage will naturally punish them. Impersonating Jiraiya-sama's disciples is not a small matter.
The gatekeeper ninja had been witnessing the conversation between Namikaze Minato and the three people, and witnessed the entire process.
In his sight.
Namikaze Minato didn't do anything to these three people.
Just ask them to leave.
He didn't even say anything too harsh.
through this.
He can understand one thing very clearly!
That is, these three people may really be Lord Jiraiya's disciples. They are the younger brothers and sisters of Minato Namikaze, and the younger brothers and sisters of the future Hokage. Such an identity can almost be obtained from the performance of Namikaze Minato. kind of verification.
Thinking of this...
The gatekeeper ninja knew that a small character like him would be destined to encounter such a helpless situation. After all, his status was too low.
After Namikaze Minato left, Konan found his head and asked him to take him to Ichiraku Ramen.
This gatekeeper ninja refuses in his heart!
But he didn't dare...
After all, the girl named Konan in front of me is nominally Lord Jiraiya's disciple!
Lord Jiraiya is one of the three ninjas of the Leaf Village, and is a disciple of the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. He is also the teacher of the upcoming fourth generation Hokage Namifeng Shuimen. Such a terrifying identity is not at all like him. The gatekeeper ninja can afford to be messed with.
There is no way.
Even though he felt helpless in his heart.
But he still had to take Konan towards Ichiraku Ramen.
This is all he can do.
This is not something he can control.
only…
Now he regrets it very much.
If he had known that doing so might be suspected by Namikaze Minato, then he would definitely not have done this and directly chose to reject Konan.
After all, if you do this, you may offend Konan, or you may indirectly offend Jiraiya-sama, but compared to directly offending the future fourth-generation Hokage Namikaze Shuito, this is still worth choosing.
certainly…
This is based on knowing all the results with open eyes.
If at this time, he knew the consequences of all choices, and knew that he would definitely offend someone, then he would choose the lesser of two evils. He still understood this truth, and he would still be more willing to directly offend Namikaze Minato. Go mess with Xiaonan.
This is not unreasonable.
If Konan is offended, the other party may report it to Jiraiya-sama, or he may not. This matter can be big or small, and it is not a particularly serious matter.
Moreover, even if Jiraiya-sama is told, Jiraiya-sama may not care about such a thing, let alone a small role like a gatekeeper ninja like him.
It's just that he was lucky at the time and thought that he could avoid offending everyone in this way.
If they had not met Namikaze Minato and they had quickly left the Leaf Village without anyone noticing, and only the gatekeeper ninjas knew what was going on, and no one would tell them, then this matter might have gone away. .
The gatekeeper ninjas belong to a community of interests. Bringing Konan into Ichiraku Ramen is not something he can decide alone. They made the decision after discussing it together, and felt that this way they would not offend Jiraiya. Adults, it is also possible to avoid Kaibo Fengshui Gate.
After such a thing is over, no one of them will tell it, because if this thing is discovered, they, the gatekeeper ninjas, all have a common responsibility.
In fact, God is not as good as man, no one thought that when they were eating noodles, they would meet some Namikaze Minato who wanted to eat noodles, and finally ended up in such a scene.
In addition to Namikaze Minato and Konan, there was also an ANBU ninja named Aoba who was talking.
He couldn't afford to offend this person.
This ninja didn't know exactly what kind of energy Qingyu had, but in the process, he had close contact with Qingyu for only a few minutes, but he felt that this person was extremely terrifying.
Even when he faced Aoyu, he felt that this person's oppression was stronger than Namikaze Minato.
Of course, it seems that the other party hid this matter very well.
You can't tell at all.
But as a gatekeeper ninja, he is particularly good at observing people's movements. He has met many people before, so he can feel something in people's expressions and demeanor, even in their breath.
Although he himself couldn't explain why, and Qingyu didn't act that exaggeratedly, he could clearly feel the invisible and cold aura on this person.
Can't afford it!
Don't dare to mess with it!
This is what this gatekeeper ninja thought when facing Qingyu.
He knew very well that when facing Qingyu, if he ignored or acted against this person, the consequences would be very serious, and it was very likely that he would not be able to bear it at all.
He didn't want to bear the consequences.
Now at this time, he was kneeling on the ground, watching the three people's affairs fall on him, sweating in his heart, goosebumps all over his body, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.
"I'm really not a mole!"
The gatekeeper ninja couldn't help but explain again. Although he didn't say anything substantial, the emotion he wanted to express was clearly conveyed.
It is no longer as simple as dereliction of duty.
If Namikaze Minato blamed him for not guarding the ninja gate of Konoha Village and dereliction of duty, then he could bear it, after all, he did raise such a problem.
But I directly beat him to the side of the mole, which is quite tied to Xiaonan. In this way, if there is a problem with Xiaonan, he will be a real accomplice.
This is a huge problem.
This was difficult for him to accept.
This is equivalent to saying that his destiny is bound to Xiaonan, and although he thinks there is nothing wrong with Xiaonan, who can say for sure.
The main reason why this gatekeeper ninja brought Konan into the Leaf Village was because he felt that Konan was someone he couldn't afford to offend, especially Jiraiya who was behind Konan. But if he said that Konan had no problems at all, he He couldn't guarantee it. After all, among all the things he saw, he actually felt that Xiao Xiao had something hidden in his heart.
This is not what a normal person should look like at all!
At least in his opinion, some of Xiaonan's views were contradictory, and there were indeed many inconsistencies.
For example, when the three of them first met Namikaze Minato, what they wanted to do was stay in the Leaf Village, and then they dispersed after the discussion failed, while Konan wanted to say the opposite, she Want to eat a bowl of ramen.
This kind of thing is extremely strange.
It's just that as a gatekeeper ninja, he understands that it's better to do less than to do more.
I didn't think much about these contents at all.
Being able to become a gatekeeper ninja shows that it is a ninja in itself and has some strength, but its strength is not strong. It will not go out on missions to participate in wars. Even though it has some ability to observe words and emotions, it is not as strong as its own strength. There is still something lacking.
So he knows very well...
The more you know, the more dangerous it is.
This is an eternal truth.
Therefore, this gatekeeper ninja has always adhered to the approach of doing more things than doing less things. If you don't know, don't know. Don't do anything.
Only now he was labeled as a mole.
But he couldn't accept it at all.
If this continues, his life will be in great danger.
It's not a question of job title.
Any ninja understands what kind of treatment it is to be called a mole.
"Shut up!"
Namikaze Minato looked at this ninja and rolled his eyes fiercely. He felt a little resentful in his heart. After all, it was this person who really brought Konan here.
"A guy who fails to succeed but fails to succeed!"
Namikaze Minato said angrily, he understood that if Konan really exchanged information with someone in the Leaf Village, then the gatekeeper ninja would be the primary responsibility of Jonan, but instead of holding this person accountable, he would It's better to say that none of this ever happened.
What he was worried about was not that he was seeking someone's fault in law enforcement, but that after the intelligence was completed, his road to becoming Hokage would be even more bumpy in the future.
actually.
Although Namikaze Minato asked if this ninja was a mole, in his heart he actually thought that the other person was not a mole.
Not only does he trust this person, but he also feels that if he is not a mole, the situation will be better.
On the contrary, if this person is a mole...
Then he will feel that Konoha Village has become less safe.
Namikaze Minato knew very well that since the third generation had been in power for so many years, there must be many members of his party in the village.
These problems will be solved bit by bit over a long period of time after he becomes Hokage.
After all, he can't just replace everyone when he comes up.
If that were the case, Konoha Village would not be able to operate normally, and he also knew very well that many people were not really on the side of the Third Generation. They were just on the sidelines, and they would support whoever had better momentum. .
Or maybe they actually support Konoha Village.
They support whoever is the Hokage in the village.
Just be loyal to existence, not to Naruto.
But.
Namikaze Minato had no way to distinguish these people from those others. He had no way to know who was the third generation's party member and who was a member of the village.
So in fact, in his heart, he hoped that there was nothing wrong with this gatekeeper ninja, as long as he could feel at ease.
Immediately afterwards.
Namikaze Minato turned to look at Aoyu next to him.
He knows it very well.
Only Qingyu is the one he can truly trust at the moment!
Qingyu has been a very good friend with him since childhood, and there has been a big separation between him and the family. It can be said that there is only Haru in Konoha Village. Apart from Qingyu himself, his only friend is I beat my brother with my own hands.
This is different from anyone else.
If we talk about Nara Shikaku, then he is still a member of the Nara clan. When considering things, he may stand on the side of the Nara clan. This is inevitable. After all, ninjas are originally based on family units. Many families eventually gathered together to form a village.
Almost any ninja, when encountering a crisis, will stand together with his family and tide over the difficulties together.
The same thing, if it is Uchiha Fugaku, then when considering the problem, he will definitely take more into account the Uchiha clan...
Namikaze Minato was very aware of this. This was not a special scheming, but he understood that Aoba would not have any complicated ties. It could be said that his political background was very clean, and he was a person who could be reused.
"I'm not saying he is a mole..."
Qingyu waved his hand, without any change in expression on his face, and continued.
"I mean… "
"Since Xiaonan's memory is inconvenient to read..."
"I can read his memory!"
Qingyu's eyes focused on this gatekeeper ninja. This was his solution. Through this gatekeeper ninja, he brought things to a rhythm that belonged to him.
On the way here, he had already seen the memory of this gatekeeper ninja, so he knew clearly what kind of things were in this person's memory, and he also understood that both Nagato and Yahiko had left Mu Leaf Village.
Therefore, after he makes such a decision, he can ensure that no problems will arise, so that Konan can be cleared through the gatekeeper ninja method.
This is a way Qingyu thought of.
By first building a framework to frame the matter, and then finding a solution within the framework.
This solution will cover up certain problems to a certain extent, but because it is within the framework, it does not seem to have any logical problems.
"He brought Xiaonan here. Everything that happened along the way will be witnessed with his own eyes. By reading his memory, you can see where the other two people went. This memory will not Liar!"
"the most important is… "
"This person is the gatekeeper ninja of the village. As long as he agrees to have his memory read voluntarily, he will not commit any taboos!"
Aoyu said in a deep voice that he successfully found a solution within this framework and told Namikaze Minato about this solution.
"good!"
Namikaze Minato nodded immediately. Now he was annoyed to death by these things. His brain cells were not enough. What he was thinking about was that there were too many things. This was why he wanted to find Qingyu to analyze for him. an important reason.
Now he admires Qingyu very much in his heart!
Qingyu solved the problem as soon as he came!
If there is no reminder from Qingyu and he directly forcibly reads Xiaonan's memory, it is very likely that someone will make a fuss about him and throw dirty water on him. The other party may very well set such a trap for him on purpose. .
However, if he didn't read the memory, he wouldn't know what happened at all. Now he didn't dare to believe every word Xiaonan said.
For this reason, Namikaze Minato was in a dilemma.
But.
The method proposed by Qingyu to read the memory of the gatekeeper ninja made him feel that it was the key to breaking the situation.
"Since then, it's clear whether the insider is there, and you can also clearly know the approximate location of the three people and what happened!"
Namikaze Minato nodded repeatedly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and the clouds of sadness that had just spread on his face suddenly dissipated, and a sunny smile once again filled his face.
"you!"
Namikaze Minato looked coldly at the gatekeeper ninja, his blue pupils covered with layers of oppression, and the whole person looked full of momentum.
"Are you willing to have your memory read?"
Namikaze Minato immediately launched a soul torture. When such a question fell into the ears of the gatekeeper ninja, he immediately made the latter dumbfounded and nodded helplessly.
