Chapter 268 Midnight Discussion
Ultimately, Minato refused to take Shiro back with him. He was already exhausted enough on his own, and with Shiro as a companion, he feared he would die young.
Moreover, there must be other people rushing over from the village. He really can't handle bringing so many people.
Therefore, he just agreed with Shiro to meet here at that time, and then began to return. Time was tight, and he had no time to rest. It would be troublesome to mobilize suitable personnel in the village.
After all, Minato can't lead too many people, so he can only choose suitable and powerful ones, which is more difficult to find.
Therefore, he had to go back and plan carefully, but Shilang did not stay here. Instead, he returned to his workshop. He needed to explain some things to Azu and Ayue.
There is no need to say anything about A Yue, he just needs to be prepared for the battle. But A Zu is more troublesome. Shi Lang needs him to collect some information about the war to prepare for Shi Lang's subsequent plans.
But apart from these, there is nothing else to deal with. Shilang generally has nothing to do. After explaining everything, Shilang plunged into the study of magic again.
On the other side, after Minato rushed back to the village, he first had a casual chat with Kushina, explained Shiro's situation, and then found an excuse to separate and go to meet the third generation.
In the Hokage's office, after listening to Minato's report, the Third Hokage was thinking while smoking.
This mission is actually not difficult. If it is really as Shiro said, then he and Minato are enough, and there is no need for others to go.
But that's not how things work. It was the village that betrayed the Whirlpool Country in the first place. Now that there is a chance to save their people, it would be unreasonable for the village not to send someone out.
Minato and Shiro are one the future son-in-law and one the adopted brother, so they can both be considered their own people. Therefore, although the fighting power is sufficient, the village still needs to produce some more talents.
But this is what stumped him. If the person who went was of low status, it would not be appropriate. If the person went was of high status, there would be a lot of things going on in the village, so it would not be appropriate to leave the village. Moreover, the number of people who went could not be too large, otherwise Minato's Flying Thunder God would not be able to carry it.
That's why he was in a dilemma. Orochimaru was out on a mission and Jiraiya was out wandering around, so he couldn't find any suitable people.
At this time, the third generation suddenly realized that the village had been broken.
After Sakumo's death, he couldn't find a few people suitable for this task. Now he really regrets not stopping Danzo, which led to Sakumo's suicide.
But that was all in the past. No matter how much he lamented, the mission had to continue. After a moment of thought, the Third Generation knocked on the table with his pipe and said, "Go and invite Elder Mito."
"Yes, sir." After saying that, the Anbu who suddenly appeared disappeared again.
Just like that, Minato stood aside, while Sanrodai continued to smoke, waiting quietly by the candlelight.
"Sarutobi, what do you want from me so late at night?" After a while, Mito arrived and pushed open the door and walked in.
"Well, this is the information that Minato just compiled. Take a look." After saying that, the third generation handed a scroll to Mitomon En.
"What's the matter that requires calling me here in the middle of the night?" Mito opened the scroll and began to read it, frowning. "The Uzumaki clan? The Akatsuki organization."
After a while, Mito, who had finished reading the scroll, looked up and said as he closed it, "Since the Uzumaki clan is involved, we must take action."
"As the Hokage, you can't leave the village easily, so I'll be the one to fight this time. This is probably what you think."
"That's right, then it's settled. You'll be in charge of this mission, tentatively designated as an A-level mission. Since you're here, let's talk about another piece of intelligence."
"The little girl named Ayue?"
"Well, my idea is that since we have Shiro's guarantee, we can let her in. We can even let her become a ninja. After all, he is Sakumo's apprentice."
"I agree with this. I still have high hopes for Shiro. Besides, the little girl isn't that old. She shouldn't be a spy. However, she can't go to ninja school and must be monitored by the Anbu for a period of time as usual."
"Well, then it's settled. If this mission is successful, I will agree to Emiya Shirou's request. The four of you will complete this mission. Is there anything else you need to add?"
"Thank you Hokage-sama. No more, but Elder Mito, when do we leave?"
"No rush, it's still midnight. Let's leave at noon tomorrow. Go back and get some rest. You'll need to rest even if you're in this state."
"Yes, Elder Mito, I will withdraw first." After saying that, Minato walked out of the Hokage's office, then after returning home with a Flying Thunder God, he fell directly on the bed to rest.
He was really exhausted today. He first traveled for half a day, and then rushed back to the village overnight. He didn't get much rest in the Hokage's office as he was busy drafting intelligence. Therefore, he started to rest as soon as he came back.
However, after Minato left, the two people in the office discussed together for a long time. After all, since they were going to welcome the Uzumaki clan member back this time, the arrangements for their Uzumaki clan had to be started in advance.
Before, the Uzumaki clan only had two little kids, Kushina and Kazuki. It was obviously unrealistic to rely on them to support the Uzumaki clan. Therefore, the policies they prepared for the Uzumaki clan would be implemented later and did not take the current situation into consideration.
And the one who is brought back on this mission is likely to be a strong man from the Uzumaki clan. After all, an elite jonin is an outstanding fighting force no matter which country he is in.
Therefore, the previous policy arrangements will no longer apply after he returns, and they must deal with these matters before he returns.
This aspect is still quite difficult. At present, the village’s resources have basically been allocated, and it is a bit difficult to handle. It would be inappropriate to touch anyone’s cake. If it is just a small family, then they can just send it away.
However, this is the Uzumaki clan. Although there are few people, they once had a good relationship with Konoha, and once they grow up, their strength will be extremely impressive, so we can't treat them casually.
In the end, the two of them made a preliminary decision to give them some of the profits from the Eagle Project, which was already halfway implemented. At worst, the village's share could be reduced.
Anyway, as long as the main control of the Eagle Project is still in the hands of the village, then that little share is irrelevant. Moreover, compared to power, this is what the Uzumaki clan needs most.
After all, even if they are given control of a department now, they do not have enough manpower to take over. It would be more practical to directly give them a certain amount of funding.
