Hokage that started as a commoner ninja

Chapter 29 New Ninjutsu
Early the next morning, Minato Namakaze came to Hokage's office, feeling nervous but not showing his face, knelt down on one knee and said, "Master Hokage!"

Being invited to Hokage's office by members of Anbe early in the morning, Minato Namikaze was a little nervous.You must know that Hokage-sama is busy with things, and Minato is just a slightly talented ninja, so why can he be summoned by Hokage alone?

For example, when the Second Hokage was alive, even the disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen, except Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya, rarely had the opportunity to meet the Second Hokage, let alone meet alone.

"Could it be that I did something wrong." Minato Namikaze wondered in his heart, "Or, what secret mission does Hokage-sama arrange for me?"

"Minato is here, get up!" The Third Hokage spoke kindly, "Your teacher wrote a letter, saying that he has something to do recently and he can no longer be your mentoring jonin. But he will occasionally find time to come back to teach you later."

Hearing that it was Jiraiya's letter, Minato felt relieved and calmed down, and asked: "Master Hokage, does Jiraiya-sensei have any missions, is it dangerous, and how long will it take to come back?"

"It's some private matter, there's no danger, don't worry!" Third Hokage looked at Namikaze Minato, who was immediately worried about his own safety, and thought to himself: "He is indeed a gentle child."

"Mr. Ni recognizes your character and talent, and guarantees that you will learn a ninjutsu." Said, Sandai Hokage handed a scroll that had been prepared a long time ago to Namikaze Minato.

"Remember, you can only study here. If you can't learn this time, you can come anytime later." Sandai continued.

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato opened the scroll, and saw "Forbidden Art Flying Thunder God Art" written in the middle of the scroll.

Minato said in surprise: "Master Sandai, my meritorious service is not enough to exchange for this ninjutsu?"

"Haha...don't worry, Jiraiya will bear the part that is not enough. You can just study. This is Jiraiya's gift for you to be promoted to Chunin." Hearing this, the third generation smiled heartily.

"By the way, I almost forgot. Congratulations, Minato. From today onwards, you will be a Konoha Chunin."

Four days later, the order to grant Hatake Sakumo and Kato the half-sleeved Hokage was finally approved by the daimyo.Kato Duanya has been discharged from the hospital early and returned to his home.

"Teacher, it's a rare honor to be awarded the Naruto half sleeve, shouldn't you be happy?" Mu En happened to be a guest at the invitation of Kato Dan at this time, but found that Kato Dan didn't seem happy.

"Hey, I have always been working hard with the goal of Hokage. But now, my injuries have greatly reduced my combat power, and I have basically lost the hope of becoming Hokage. My heart is empty." Kato's will is a bit low.

Before being discharged from the hospital, Kato Dan, accompanied by Tsunade and Mu En, performed the "spiritualization technique", and found that when the spiritualized body left the body, it was difficult for the chakra left in the physical body to provide continuous consumption of the two "kidneys".At most half a moment, the spiritual body must return, otherwise it will end in serious injury and death.

In addition, the "kidney" part cannot be impacted, resulting in a great reduction in combat power in a head-to-head confrontation, not to mention the decline in the amount of chakra after the injury.Everything means that Kato is getting farther and farther away from the front line, and the biggest possibility in the future is to do some rear work in the village.

"However, teacher, I got Hokage half-sleeves, and my dream of becoming Hokage is half completed. Afterwards, as long as my apprentice becomes Hokage again, it will be considered as half of my completion. In this way, I have completed the whole dream." Kato Duan swept away his depressed state, stared at Mu En with bright eyes and said seriously: "Mu En, go and become Hokage, for our dream."

"So you're waiting for me here. Teacher, why are you doing this? I'm not interested in taking the seat of Hokage." Mu En said solemnly: "Besides, I never think that Hokage of Konoha is that seat. I think that Hokage of Konoha is a kind of inheritance of will, the spirit of protecting the village and comrades-in-arms, and the spirit of sacrificing life and forgetting death for the compatriots."

"In my heart, as long as he inherits this will, no matter what position he is in, he is a qualified Hokage, and you are the inheritor of this will. Teacher, you are the Hokage in my heart."

"Okay, okay, Mu En, you are really good." Kato Duan's blood boiled for a moment, and he stood up and praised Mu En again and again: "I wanted you to work hard with Hokage as the goal, but now it seems that I am narrow-minded."

After finishing speaking, Kato Duan took out a ninjutsu scroll and handed it to Mu En, and then said: "Take it, treat it as a gift from me to promote you to Chunin, and ask me if you don't understand anything."

Mu En took the scroll, and seeing the four big words "Spiritualization Technique" on it, she couldn't help being taken aback, and said in surprise: "Mr. Duan, this is your family's inherited ninjutsu. Is it appropriate to pass it on to me like this?"

Family ninjutsu is a guarantee for the enduring inheritance of a family, and it is generally not passed on to people outside the family.

"Before me, no one in the Kato family could practice this ninjutsu for several generations. After me, it will take several generations for anyone in the family to practice this ninjutsu. You have the talent to practice this ninjutsu, so why should I cherish it and be stingy with mere ninjutsu." Kato Duan said.

"Besides, since you call Tsunade a teacher, then I have to fulfill the responsibility of a master, and I will teach you everything I know. From now on, I will not only be your guide, but also your real master."

"Or, you don't want to learn this ninjutsu, and you don't want to worship me as a teacher?" Kato Duan teased.

"Of course I have to learn, thank you, master." Mu En hurriedly collected the scroll when he heard this, as if he was afraid that Kato would break it and take the scroll back.

Seeing this, Kato Duan laughed, very happy.

Generally speaking, there are two ways for ninjas to obtain ninjutsu: one is the ninjutsu inherited from the family, which needs to be practiced by members of the family and the approval of the family elders or patriarchs; the second is to use the guaranty of the jōnin to use the task merits to exchange for practice in the village. Ninjutsu of A level or above must be guaranteed by elite jōnin or Konoha high-level senior ninjutsu above elite jōnin.

Mu En has accumulated a lot of merits in doing missions since graduation, but even with the guarantee of the ninja, he can't exchange for a few B-level ninjutsu. If he wants to exchange for A-level or above ninjutsu, he still needs to continue to work hard to accumulate meritorious deeds.

Ordinary B-level ninjutsu has little meaning in exchange for Mu En. Only A-level or above ninjutsu can give Mu En some inspiration.Therefore, Mu En's original plan was to accumulate some mission merits, and then beg Kato Duan to guarantee A-level ninjutsu for him.

Now that the "spiritualization technique" that Mu En envied for a long time is in front of him without any merit, he will naturally not miss this opportunity.
