As soon as Namikaze Minato said this, not only the gatekeeper ninja was stunned, but everyone present was also stunned.
Even Aoba didn't expect Namikaze Minato to say such straightforward words.
Not to mention Xiaonan.
"I...I...I..."
This was the gatekeeper ninja, and he was dumbfounded at that time. He looked at Minato blankly, and his whole body was stunned.
Is this something he will resolve with people willing to not
Not at all!
The gatekeeper ninja was stunned after hearing Namikaze Minato's words.
If anything, he definitely didn't want anyone to take away his memory.
It's not that there is anything shameful in his memory, but this process will make him feel very humiliated.
But he understood that now that things were at this point, he could only use this method to prove himself.
This is not to say that Namikaze Minato was cruel to his demands.
It is true that what he did before was not in place.
If he hadn't been lucky at that time, he would have brought Konan into the Leaf Village and introduced him to the Ichiraku Ramen Noodle House, and then he would be seen by Namikaze Minato, and he would be caught on the spot.
It won't become what it is now.
only…
In fact, there are many problems here.
For example.
If he didn't prove his innocence in this way, he would be unable to defend himself. In fact, to a certain extent, if Qingyu could read his memory and give him a clean slate, it would make him quarrel with him. Namikaze Minato is in a relatively peaceful state. As long as Namikaze Minato can be reassured, he can continue to be our ninja in the future.
This gatekeeper ninja is not that greedy for this position.
He also has his own considerations in his heart.
If a person is accidentally mistaken for a mole, it will be a stain on his entire ninja career.
As a ninja, he would not allow this to happen.
So even if he can't explain it anymore, he has to find a way to explain these things clearly. He absolutely cannot be suspected in such a situation. In fact, it is not that he has contributed to Konoha Village, but there is absolutely no harm. , but everything happened at this time point, which made him very embarrassed.
"I do."
The gatekeeper ninja said feebly. In fact, deep down in his heart, he didn't want or like this, but he also knew that this was the only way he could choose at the moment. He even said that this was not a choice, but that he could only do this. , he had no choice at all.
And if you read the memory now, you can still give him a piece of innocence, so why not
only.
Although all rationality tells this gatekeeper ninja that it is a very good thing for him to have his memory read now, he still has a very uncomfortable feeling. This is a sense of humiliation that is completely incapable of self-determination.
"good."
Namikaze Minato nodded immediately, agreeing with the gatekeeper ninja's response. He felt that the latter's performance was still very good.
As long as you can actively admit it and have your memory read voluntarily, you can still make a contribution in this matter.
Namikaze Minato feels that Aoyu's thinking is very reasonable, because at this moment, if he privately reads the memories of Konan or anyone in the Akatsuki organization trio, then the next things will be very different. There is a very passive situation, because everyone in the Akatsuki trio can be said to be a disciple of Master Jiraiya, and he himself is also a disciple of Master Jiraiya, so he privately imposes on the disciples of Master Ziranye. If he doubts and forcibly reads the memory, he will follow the truth.
With this approach, no matter whether he finds something or nothing, the final result will not be very good.
As long as the third generation clearly knows about this matter and wants to use this point to target him, then in the next few days, this whirlwind of public opinion will sweep across the entire Konoha Village and intensify.
Through the incident between Orochimaru and Danzo, Namikaze Minato has already received some inspiration, because if the incident between Orochimaru and Danzo was planned by the third generation, then the third generation is very good at stirring up public opinion.
Even Namikaze Minato was already thinking about the time when Hatake Sakumo was accepting the half-sleeved Hokage robe, and it seems that the trend of public opinion may have shifted in this direction.
All of a sudden.
After being reminded by Aoyu, Namikaze Minato understood that this matter was not that easy, and he still needed to be careful. If the other party specifically brought out the Akatsuki trio just to lure him into a trap, then If he acts rashly, he is likely to fall into the opponent's trap.
But this gatekeeper ninja is different.
This gatekeeper ninja was originally a ninja of Konoha Village, and his status was not high. In the next period of time, Namikaze Minato will become the fourth generation Hokage.
If he reasonably suspects that this gatekeeper ninja may have some communication with the outside world, and wants to ensure that there is no problem with this person by reading the memory, there is no problem at all in doing so.
Even if the third generation discovered it, if they wanted to know about the storm of public opinion through this incident, they would not be able to create any waves at all.
Because this matter itself is closely related to the security of Konoha Village, no one in the village hopes that such a thing will happen, and such a case has happened before. There were spies among the Anbu of Konoha Village. At that time Spies are also screened out by reading memories in large batches.
At that time, no one said a word of criticism.
So this kind of thing actually has lessons learned. You can refer to it before. The third generation did the thing of investigating every Anbu ninja, but it didn't arouse everyone's disgust, let alone Namikaze Minato, who just suspected a person. Just gatekeeper ninjas.
So this kind of thing won't cause too much trouble.
In addition, Namikaze Minato now wants the gatekeeper ninja to personally say that she voluntarily has her memory read. Although this willingness is not a complete resource, as long as the other party expresses this wish, then Everything will still be compromised in terms of harsh criticism.
In other words, for this purpose, as long as the memory of this gatekeeper ninja is read, there will be no backlash at all.
Regarding this, Namikaze Minato felt that this method was still very feasible.
Now he is getting more and more sober and asked Qingyu for help, because after Qingyu appeared, he immediately discovered that the core point of this matter was not any connection between Xiaonan or the trio organized by Akatsuki and the third generation, because There is no information from the outside world that needs to be secretly sent to Konoha Village, and even if it is sent in, it can be sent in a more secretive way, and there is no need to notify him specifically.
Now that Namikaze Minato had gradually calmed down, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something fishy about the output revealed in this matter.
Something is very wrong.
It's problematic no matter which angle you look at it.
It's like fishing for law enforcement.
Namikaze Minato suddenly realized that if the friendship between the three people from the Akatsuki organization entered Konoha, the village capital had any connection with the third generation, or had contact with other behind-the-scenes masterminds in Konoha Village, then they could directly enter Konoha. Ye Cun doesn't need to find him at all. Even now that the third generation is still in the position of Hokage, he can issue some passes without any problems.
So these three people did not do this, but chose to find him, hoping to use his hands to arrange for the three of them to enter the Konoha Village.
In fact, a huge problem has been thrown to him at this time.
If you don't accept it, it will be equivalent to a colleague who refuses, Jiraiya-sensei, the disciple's junior brothers and sisters, leaving no trace of favor for Jiraiya-sensei, and at the same time almost cutting off the relationship between them. Due to the bond, when facing Teacher Jiraiya in the future, my confidence will be much less.
But correspondingly, if you accept it...
Then it was equivalent to seeing this result as he secretly hid the rebellious ninja from the Rain Country in the Leaf Village.
This is definitely a very, very dangerous act.
Speaking at a young age, as long as this matter is discovered by anyone, it will bring stigma to him. Even when he made this decision, he had not yet become the Hokage of Konoha Village. This was already a An ultra vires decision.
What's more, if we look at it more broadly, if these three people are related to the Third Generation, then as long as they do any dangerous behavior when entering Konoha Village, they can all be linked to Namikaze Minato, and Namikaze Minato will be responsible. .
Namikaze Minato calmed down after hearing the words of cleaning up, and found that the trio of Akatsuki organizations actually looked for him before coming to Konoha Village. It was very likely that this was a time bomb sent to him.
Fortunately, I didn't take the bomb at that time.
Namikaze Minato was secretly glad that he had not made a wrong decision, and at the same time he understood that these three people should have chosen the second plan after he did not accept it at the time.
Xiaonan should be part of the second plan now.
Namikaze Minato's speed is getting faster and faster now. When he doesn't have to think actively, his ideas become clearer, because the main task of thinking and setting the framework has been given to Aoyu. He only needs to know that in Aoyu Just think carefully about the details of the process within the context that Yu has straightened out.
Thinking of this, he became more and more satisfied with Qingyu.
In the future, after he becomes Hokage, he may face more and more incredible things that he has never seen before, and he needs someone who can really stand on his side. And there will be no one who is likely to betray him to advise him.
To a certain extent, it was originally very difficult to find such a being, because now he couldn't tell who was loyal to him and who was pretending to be in front of him.
Apart from Aoba, he only knew Uzumaki Kushina.
However, Uzumaki Jiu is not suitable to hold any position in Konoha Village now, because when the two of them serve as high-level officials in Konoha Village as husband and wife, they will become remembered by people. taboo.
This makes it easy for people to compare the couple to the family business of the Leaf Village through association. Even when they make any decisions in the future, people will feel that the reason for their decision is not for the Leaf Village. But for their personal benefit.
Namikaze Minato didn't want such a thing to happen to him, so when he was looking for help, he effectively avoided Uzumaki Kushina. He only wanted to know that Uzumaki Kushina could silently support him behind his back. Will suffice.
So now, in his opinion, the only candidate who has no possibility of betraying him is Qingyu.
Aoba's people are like those of the same period. Although Shikaku is smart enough, he is now taking the lead as the third generation's adviser. The current Namikaze Minato does not know how many of these things are from Nara Shikaku's handiwork. It is even more unclear whether Nara Shikaku is on his side or on the side of the Nara clan when something happens.
But no matter what, Nara Shikaku is now a third-generation person. If he uses it after he becomes Hokage in the future, Nara Shikaku will be cautious about it. He will have to wait for a period of time to be sure that there is nothing wrong with this person before he can use it. Gradually, he did not rule out the possibility that Shikaku played an important role in helping the third generation return to the position of Hokage.
Therefore, whether from the perspective of loyalty or from the perspective of brains, Qingyu is the best candidate for him to choose.
Now Aoyu has played an important role in front of him twice in a row, winning the trust of Namikaze Minato even more.
"Qingyu."
Namikaze Minato nodded to Aoyu. In fact, there was one thing about Aoyu that made him very satisfied. As a staff officer, what was more important to him than other staff members was that he could read memories.
This is the unique ability of the mountain clan.
This method of reading memory can greatly help him make judgments.
Enough to play an important role in many future situations.
"yes."
Qingyu responded, got up from his seat and walked forward. When he spoke, the ramen he ordered had not yet been served.
"Watergate."
Aoba looked towards Namikaze Minato. He still had no doubts about the title of Namikaze Minato, whether it was an honorific title like Hokage or a title like a friend.
He slowly raised a finger with his left hand, and then pointed in the direction of Feng Shuimen's forehead.
"I can synchronize the memory of what I saw to you."
"That way you can see the same picture as me."
"Together we can make judgments based on the images in our memory."
