Naruto : Minato back to the past

the Hokage's Office.

"Minato, are you really sure?"

Sandaime looked at the handsome Minato in front of him and asked solemnly.

Although Minato had made an agreement with him a year and a half ago, Hiruzen did not want Minato to fight Sakumo.

Minato was a genius that was hard to come by in decades, but Sakumo was also a brilliant talent. Hiruzen knew the latter's strength very well. In the current ninja world, anyone who could fight him for three minutes without losing could definitely be called a strong man.

Although Minato had already gained some fame in the ninja world after the Second Ninja War, most of it was because people were amazed at his age.

Even though he had learned the "Flying Thunder God Jutsu" now, the chance of achieving the agreement was still low.

He hoped that Minato would practice for a while longer. With his talent, it would not take too much time for him to reach the level in the agreement.

There was no need to rush.

In front of Sandaime, Minato smiled and said, "Since this matter has been decided a year and a half ago, I have no reason to back down. Moreover, I don't want to break my promise to her again." Minato's expression was unshakable.

During this period, as a Genin, Kushina could only perform some miscellaneous tasks. Although she didn't say it, Minato knew in his heart that she was sad.

Kushina's talent and strength were not inferior to anyone of the same period, and they were already active outside the village as Chunin, performing various tasks.

In the past, Minato just watched her silently from a distance, and it was not until he grew up that he really understood her inner pain.

He couldn't watch Kushina go through that kind of life again, so even if it went against his originally calm temperament and did something reckless, Minato would not hesitate.

"But do you know that if you fail, it may affect your future?" Hiruzen was thinking about Minato.

All of Minato's achievements were based on facts.

From the moment he showed his wings, he shocked everyone again and again.

But if Minato fails this time, his future will certainly be affected.

Sandaime knew very well that if a powerful ninja encounters setbacks and loses his original intention during his growth process, it will inevitably have a certain impact on his future.

He was afraid that Minato could not afford the gap of failure. After all, he had been too smooth sailing until now.

There were also many external factors. If Minato failed, it would also cause him a lot of pressure.

And how could Minato not know Sandaime's intentions? He tried his best to cultivate him and paved a bright road for himself.

But for her, Minato would rather choose to take a detour.

What's more, he would not definitely lose.

"Thank you for everything you have done for me, but please allow me to be willful once!" Minato raised his eyes, his firm look remained unchanged.

Sandaimeme looked into his eyes for a moment, then retracted his gaze and said, "Since this is your own choice, I will not dissuade you anymore."

Then, he smiled bitterly again, "Speaking of which, it should have been me who should beg for forgiveness to Lady Mito. I didn't take good care of Kushina."

"As the Hokage, you naturally have to consider the overall situation. Besides, you have done a lot for us. Of course, we have to open up our future by ourselves!" Minato comforted Sandaime.

Upon hearing this, Sandaimeme smiled faintly and said, "Speaking of which, I really want to see how much you have grown in the past year and a half."

"I won't let you down." Minato replied.

The Hatake clan, the courtyard of the Sakumo family.

"Suzuka-senpai, long time no see." Minato walked into the front yard of the Sakumo family and saw Suzuka walking in the courtyard with a child in her arms.

When Suzuka saw him, he chuckled and said, "You've grown a lot taller."

Minato responded, then walked to Suzuka and greeted the little guy in her arms, "Kakashi, long time no see." The little Kakashi in Suzuka's arms also grinned when he saw Minato.

Now more than eight months old, he looks very cute, with fair skin and dark and bright eyes.

In terms of appearance, Kakashi obviously looks more like his mother Suzuka, but between his eyebrows, he has gradually developed a heroic spirit, which is undoubtedly inherited from his father.

Minato stretched out his palm and gently stroked his pink little face, and in the house in the front yard, Sakumo also walked out slowly.

"You're here." Sakumo said, "Have you seen the Hokage?"

"Yes." Minato nodded.

Sakumo also knew that Sandaime would admonish Minato, but looking at the expression in his eyes, it was obvious that he would not change.

Immediately, Sakumo turned and went into the house, and Minato followed him closely.

The two sat on the corridor in the backyard. Sakumo glanced at Minato and said, "I will not show mercy."

When Mito sealed the Nine-Tails in Kushina's body, Sakumo was there.

Because he knew the importance of Kushina's identity and for Minato's safety, even though he had a good relationship with Minato, he would not hold back in the battle tomorrow.

"I know." Minato said, and then smiled: "I am looking forward to a real battle with you, Sakumo-senpai."

Minato used to admire Sakumo very much, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he regards him as his goal in his growth.

"I don't want to be surpassed by you so early." Sakumo saw Minato's eager look beside him and smiled.

Since half a year ago, Minato has stopped sparring with him.

A long time has passed, and he is also looking forward to Minato's growth.

The next day, in the morning.

Minato walked out of the house, and Kushina was already waiting outside his door.

"Minato, today's battle, you." Kushina said, with a little entanglement in her expression.

Seeing the uneasiness in her expression, Minato stepped forward, grabbed her palm, and smiled softly: "Don't worry, it's no problem, do you believe me?"

"Of course!" Kushina said firmly.

"So, for your trust, I must do it, let's go!" Minato said, and made a seal with one hand.

Swish!

With a light sound in the air, the two disappeared together.

The scene changed, Minato and Kushina were already in a huge arena.

This was originally used as the battle field for the Chunin Exam.

The two of them appeared in the arena at the same time, and immediately the few eyes here were cast over.

Minato raised his head and looked up. At the highest point, there were four people sitting.

One of them had a gloomy face and eyes as sharp as an eagle, looking at him indifferently.
