It is extremely confidential, and its functions completely overlap with those of the Dark Department and the Root Department.
Once upon a time, it only had to obey the orders of its creator, Minato Namikaze!
And now...
Times have changed!
The codename that Minato Namikaze had prepared for himself was [燯], which means the first natural number, the origin of the Ran organization, and also symbolizes "fire" - his title was originally Yellow Flash, but...
He was later persuaded by Fang Yan to change his code name.
Fang Yan said, "It is difficult to burn the ashes after drowning, and the remaining fire is burning even though the stars are not extinguished."
This sentence depicts the scene where the spark has not yet been extinguished, implying hope and persistence.
Fang Yan also said, "The sound of the north wind has died down in the south mountain, who will stop the elegant calls of the time?" - [extinguish] symbolizes the endless inheritance of the will of fire.
At that time, Minato Namikaze thought his words made sense, so he decisively adopted this code name.
Now it seems...
【灭】means to go out, when people leave and the tea gets cold.
——Fang Yan sees things further than himself and can consider issues from a macro perspective that is higher than that of the Hokage.
However, this guy has an innate bad taste and never says similar things too bluntly or hurtfully, but only hints at himself in this way.
Inside Naruto's body, Minato Namikaze can perceive the outside world to a certain extent.
Unfortunately, his chakra is limited, so it is impossible for him to observe the outside world without blind spots at all times.
He can only stay awake for a very short period of time. Most of the time, he remains dormant, as if taking a nap - only when the Nine-Tailed Fox is released will he appear to reinforce the seal.
so……
Minato Namikaze knew about the unfair treatment Naruto suffered in his childhood! "Father? Son?" No matter how slow Naruto Uzumaki was, he realized through Minato Namikaze's self-narration that he, as the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, was actually the orphan of the great Fourth Hokage! If it weren't for Fang Yan, after knowing his true identity and what his father had done, the first thing he would do at this moment is to rush up and punch that handsome blond uncle to let him know how miserable and hard his life was.
But now...
Naruto is living a good life. Not only is he powerful and famous at a young age, but he also has comrades-in-arms who are worthy of his trust, and he is loved and cared for by his teacher.
I have a happy life and I am very satisfied to be able to live like this forever. Naturally, I have no right to blame the father who gave me life.
only……
The Fourth Hokage, whom he once admired, had a status and image that was merged with his own father, which made Naruto timid and afraid to step forward: "Father...Father?"
Naruto's cowardly attitude made Hinata unconsciously think of her past self.
There is no family affection, only awe.
Naruto's reaction hurt Minato Namikaze.
In Minato Namikaze's opinion, such an attitude was even more sad than stabbing himself.
He took the initiative to step forward and gave Uzumaki Naruto a hug: "It's my fault as a father - I'm sorry, Naruto!"
"This is my first time being a father too. I don't know anything and I made mistakes..."
Fang Yan's fingers passed over Naruto, Hinata, Sasuke, and Gaara: "Then, I'll ask for your full assistance in guiding the healthy growth of Konoha's new generation!"
"The Fourth Shinobi World War is in full swing now. These young people lack experience and need your guidance."
Gaara did not stand up to correct that he was not from Konoha.
In terms of [stance], he is very open-minded.
Anyway, he doesn't care whether it is Konoha, Sand Village, or even the Ran organization, as long as he listens to his teacher.
"Okay!" Minato Namikaze agreed firmly.
Hearing this, Fang Yan raised his Zanpakuto blade and stabbed forward.
Phew!
The former Fourth Hokage had the same relieved expression as the Nine-Tails on his face, and after getting used to it, he asked in confusion, "What is this?"
He is famous in the ninja world for his speed and can dodge any kind of attack.
The reason why he did not avoid it was based on his trust in like-minded people.
Fang Yan performed the operation unhurriedly, and responded slowly: "I am using eight kinds of secret techniques, including the forbidden technique of Six Paths Devouring and the soul secret technique of Soul Binding and Soul Slashing. The principles are quite complicated."
"The purpose is to help you shape your physical body, and to nourish and warm your consciousness with a constant supply of fresh chakra and life energy!"
"Because dozens of plant cells are used, mainly red lotus, green lotus leaf, and white lotus root, so..."
"Your new body is essentially a [lotus root body] - a genuine [vegetative person]~"
"If the body is injured, as long as the cells are stimulated to divide, it will heal instantly!"
As everyone knows, Fang Yan doesn't do charity.
While reshaping the body for Minato Namikaze, he was also using the soul secret technique, Soul Binding Zanpaku's Power of All Myself, to analyze the various methods mastered by the other party.
[Flying Thunder God Technique], [Flying Thunder God Stage 2]...
[Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roar], [Myoboku Mountain Version of the Spirit Summoning Technique]...
The mysteries, insights, and experiences of various ninjutsu flooded into Fang Yan's mind and were controlled by him.
Phew!
Fang Yan, who had reaped a great harvest, suddenly drew out his long sword.
In an instant, Minato Namikaze felt his body become many times heavier and solid.
Even the divine robe, Konoha forehead protector, and three-pronged kunai seemed to be part of his "flesh and blood".
Namikaze Minato pinched his face curiously and said happily: "What an incredible method - I would like to call it [The Art of Creation of Living Beings]!"
"My skin feels quite elastic. Is it really made of plant cells?"
Fang Yan said dimly: "Strictly speaking, you are not a complete Namikaze Minato - most of your soul is sealed in the belly of the god of death along with the Yin Chakra of the Nine-Tails."
"I will find a chance to solve this problem later. Whether to revive my sister-in-law depends on your performance~"
Uzumaki Kushina is clearly also a strong laborer!
Hearing this, Namikaze Minato blinked and said absentmindedly: "Resurrect Kushina..."
"I will try my best to reunite Naruto and his mother as soon as possible!"
He knew that Fang Yan was definitely not talking about Impure World Reincarnation, but a higher level of resurrection similar to his own state.
——Jiraiya once said: "Compared to the Fourth Hokage, everyone except Fang Yan pales in comparison - he is the most ninja-like person in history, with superb ninjutsu, clear thinking, great popularity, and he is as handsome as me!"
Such five-star reviews are enough to illustrate Minato Namikaze's overall quality.
Having accomplished the two goals, Fang Yan said contentedly: "This soul journey is officially over, let's go back together!"
Bang! He swung the long blade in his hand suddenly.
The next moment, the space was torn apart.
Everyone left Naruto's soul space.
Not long after, Hatake Kakashi, who was summoned by Fang Yan, stepped into the tent.
"hiss……"
He gasped when he saw the familiar figure stretching his limbs.
“Fourth…Fourth-generation?” Kakashi’s eyes widened, his pupils trembling, full of astonishment, “You are still alive?!”
