Volume 1, Chapter 38, Minato, why does your summoning beast Toad have a tail?
The accompanying butler originally wanted to invite Qianyue and the other two to have dinner, but when he saw that they were eating roasted rabbit, he immediately swallowed the words and returned obediently.
Minato felt confused as he watched the butler leave.
Is this person being overly enthusiastic about them?
Is it my illusion?
"Qianyue, have you noticed that these people's attitude towards us is a little too enthusiastic?"
Thinking about this, Minato nudged Chizuki who was sitting next to him with his elbow.
He remembered Jiraiya saying that Konoha did not have a good relationship with the officials of these daimyo prefectures.
But now the other party has been showing goodwill again and again, which makes people feel a little uneasy.
"Because they think we are worth winning over. Or rather, it is you, Minato Namikaze, who is worth winning over."
Qianyue replied casually while eating the cute bunny.
Win me over?
What is there about me that is worth winning over?
"Why?"
"Because your teacher is Jiraiya, and Jiraiya's teacher is Sarutobi Hiruzen. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Do you really think the people in Daming Prefecture are stupid?
If this had been any other team, these officials would have jumped up in anger long ago.
Even a big drama requiring the replacement of the escort team may begin immediately.
But the other party did not make a fuss, but instead showed kindness to them in various ways. Isn't this worth thinking about?
Qianyue didn't believe that the snobbish guy in Daimyofu would be nice to them for the sake of Uchiha.
The real reason for showing goodwill to them was the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
At this time, the three ninjas were not yet famous in the ninja world. Except for Tsunade, the princess of Konoha, Orochimaru and Jiraiya were at most known as geniuses, and their reputations could not be compared with Tsunade. However, their teacher was Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third Hokage of Konoha.
Throwing the remaining bones into the fire, Qianyue continued:
"Don't think that these officials are high and mighty in Daming Prefecture. But outside Daming Prefecture, they are nothing, including Daming Prefecture."
In other countries, the daimyo is the supreme leader of a country.
But in the Land of Fire, Danzo’s gaze can scare the Daimyo so much that he trembles. That’s the difference.
Because Konoha is not highly dependent on funding from the Daimyo Prefecture.
Even if there is a fallout with the Daimyo, Konoha will still be able to maintain its operations on its own for a short period of time.
But other villages can’t do that, that’s the gap.
Besides, would the Daimyo dare to fall out with Konoha?
I'm afraid that if they fall out, within three days they will be overthrown by other noble lords and become the new daimyo, who will rush to Konoha for negotiations.
"Hush! It would be bad if these words were heard by others."
Minato kept pulling on Chitsuki's clothes.
Uchiha Mikoto also repeatedly signaled him with her eyes to stop talking and be careful of ears.
It is true that this is the case, but this kind of thing cannot be said openly.
Otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble.
“That’s right!”
Minato clapped his hands and said to Qianyue:
"I learned the summoning technique that teacher Jiraiya left to me."
"Has Minato already signed a contract with the summoning beast? That's impressive."
Uchiha Mikoto's beautiful eyes lit up. She had always wanted to sign a contract with the Ninja Cat Clan, but unfortunately she had never found a suitable opportunity.
"Of course."
Minato couldn't help but feel proud when he received the praise, and he showed a cocky and smug smile.
He rubbed the tip of his nose with his right thumb and raised his head forward.
You kid are showing off. If I release my spirit beast, it will scare the hell out of you!
Seeing Minato showing off, Qianyue sneered:
"Could it be possible to communicate with a tadpole?"
I told you you were fat, and you really started to breathe heavily.
Others may not know your Minato's background, but I, Chizuki Yagami, don't know it too?
Even though Minato became the Eternal Sister, his name spread throughout the ninja world and he became a feared existence for countless enemies.
But the Minato during this period...can still be described as shabby.
For example, spiritualism.
Not much better than Naruto in the early anime.
“How is this possible!!”
Minato jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, his face flushed with anxiety:
"I have already successfully summoned the toad from Myoboku Mountain. If you don't believe me, just look!"
Minato quickly formed a seal, bit his finger and slapped the ground.
"bump!"
A cloud of white smoke exploded from the ground, and Chitsuki and Uchiha Mikoto looked over.
"............"
Uchiha Mikoto's eyelids twitched slightly. She raised her hand to cover her mouth. She wanted to laugh but was too embarrassed to do so.
"............"
Is this your toad?
Qianyue looked at the toad whose four legs were still paddling on the ground. It was obvious that the toad was summoned by Minato before it was mentally prepared.
This is not the point. The point is that this toad has a small tail on its butt.
In other words, this toad has not yet fully grown up.
“Puff~~~”
"Hahaha."
Qianyue couldn't help it and fell to the ground laughing, holding her stomach.
"Minato, are you trying to make me laugh to death? Is this your toad?"
"How could this happen...Is it possible that I have already succeeded? Did I not use enough chakra?"
Minato was dumbfounded, he had been practicing in secret mainly because he was afraid that Chitsuki would laugh at him.
Unexpectedly, he still made a fool of himself by summoning a toad that was not really a toad.
Looking at the little toad's sexy little tail wagging, Minato had the urge to cover his face and cry.
"Forget it, you should go back."
Minato wiped the sweat from his head and sent the little toad back with a confused look on his face, with tears in his eyes.
He wanted to show off, but he ended up embarrassing himself. Minato was a little embarrassed and yelled:
"Qianyue, don't you already have a spirit beast? Send it out and see. I don't believe you are more powerful than me."
It’s no secret that Qianyue has a spiritual beast.
Uchiha Mikoto also knew, but they didn't know what kind of summoned beast it was because Qianyue had never summoned a spirit before.
Every time, he would send them away in secret.
"Come on, this kind of low-level provocation won't work on me. I'm afraid my summoning beast will scare you if I release it."
"Hahaha."
Qianyue laughed so hard that her stomach hurt and tears came out.
Uchiha Mikoto was also out of breath.
It wasn't that she wanted to laugh, but the little toad that Minato summoned was too funny.
"It's a lie. I don't believe it."
Minato continued to use provocation, but this trick was really useless to Chitsuki.
He made the wrong decision.
The convoy continued on its journey, but Minato was depressed for the entire afternoon because of the little toad with a tail.
If the situation allowed, Chitsuki believed that Minato would definitely rush to Myoboku Mountain to ask in person.
Why is it that every time I communicate with the spirit world, what comes out is either a small toad with a tail or a tadpole?
Minato's worries were right. The crowded convoy walked for most of the day but only managed to cover one-third of the distance that an ordinary person would have to walk.
Such a slow pace would make anyone anxious.
Qianyue had to admit that the Third Hokage was a real idiot. He had the nerve to assign such a task to a team of newly promoted Chunins.
It's okay during the day, but the night is the most difficult. There are too many people and the camp is very large. The three of them need to separate and set traps, patrol, and check for possible enemy situations from all directions.
"Mikoto-san, you go and rest. Minato will take care of the first half of the night, and I'll take care of the second half."
At night, Qianyue arranged some rest time.
The next day, the convoy continued its journey, and Qianyue jumped onto the truck full of goods to rest and get enough rest in case she was too tired to keep watch at night.
In this way, the convoy slowly approached the border of River Country.
At the Fire Country border outpost, the ninjas inside are still holding their posts.
In the dark night, a large number of Sand Villagers entered the territory of the Land of Fire under the cover of darkness and gradually approached the outpost.
