Chapter 539: Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Fugaku
Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 539 Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Fugaku
Hatake Sakumo stared at Fugaku. He was not sure what kind of thing Fugaku had run to his side at this time. But it was unlikely that he would publicly kill Minato in front of him.
However...
Everything was uncertain!
After all, the talent that Minato had displayed was too powerful!
As long as such a person returned to Konohagakure, he could not resist becoming the Hokage. Not to mention that Minato already had that idea, even if he did not, he would be pushed to the Hokage position by many ninjas.
"Sakumo-sama, I am here to thank you for saving me. If not for your help, I might have already met with misfortune." Fugaku thanked him from the bottom of his heart, but he did not know that the "Hatake Sakumo" he had met was not the Hatake Sakumo in front of him.
"Oh."
The vigilance in Hatake Sakumo's heart became stronger. These kinds of inexplicable words had already been classified as excuses.
Since I have nothing to talk about, I'm looking for something to talk about.
Then there must be some real purpose behind this.
"Is there anything else?"
Hatake Sakumo's tone became very cold. While being on guard against Fugaku, he looked at Minato from time to time. He was an experienced ninja, and he would not let Minato leave his sight. Anyone who came to attract his attention on this journey might be the bait to lure him away.
Hatake Sakumo knew that Kushina could also enter Sage Mode, but he did not know how strong she was, so he did not calculate her combat power and only added his own.
"Er..."
Fugaku instantly caught the subtle change in Hatake Sakumo's eyes. He followed Hatake Sakumo's eyes and immediately noticed the Minato.
Understood!
He understood!
At this moment, he immediately understood what Hatake Sakumo meant!
Help take care of Minato, right?
This was not a problem!
Fugaku did not feel that Hatake Sakumo had any doubts about his thanks. He saw that Hatake Sakumo was noncommittal and thought that it was inconvenient to say more here. Now, he still had to protect Minato.
He was familiar with Minato!
Before leaving Konohagakure, his relationship with Mikoto had made great progress. He felt that it would not be long before Mikoto agreed to be with him.
Kushina was Mikoto's best friend.
Then.
Wasn't Kushina's Minato his good brother?
In addition, he had a good relationship with Minato before, and now that he has awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan, he has the power to protect Minato.
"Sakumo-sama, leave this to me. You can rest assured and do other things." Fugaku immediately volunteered.
"Leave it to you?"
Hatake Sakumo frowned even more. He was just thinking about how Fugaku would approach Minato. He did not expect him to be so direct.
"You want me to go?"
The corner of Hatake Sakumo's mouth twitched. He looked at Fugaku deeply and suddenly felt that this person did not look like a good person. Let alone handing Minato over to Fugaku, he did not want Fugaku to get close to Minato.
"Yes!"
Fugaku nodded without hesitation. That was what he was thinking. He was not as alert as Hatake Sakumo. In his opinion, the people here were all brothers who had been through life and death. No one would attack Minato. The only thing he had to guard against was the possible ambush.
"Sakumo-sama, you still need to take charge of the situation here. Leave Minato to me. I can protect his safety." Fugaku said firmly.
"I'll do it..."
Hatake Sakumo sneered. He thought to himself, 'Don't say that you can protect Minato. Being by Minato's side is Minato's greatest insecurity.'
The current Minato was very important to Konohagakure.
Minato was Konohagakure's future!
He would never easily hand over the village's future to others, especially to this Fugaku who looked very strange.
"Ah?"
Fugaku was stunned for a moment. In fact, he did not want to take over Minato's protection. He only spoke like this because he received Hatake Sakumo's hint.
But...
Why was Hatake Sakumo still not leaving?
This made a lot of question marks appear in his head.
However.
Hatake Sakumo was wearing a half-sleeve Hokage robe and was the current commander of the Konohagakure Ninja Army. He had the obligation to listen to Hatake Sakumo's orders.
"Yes!"
Fugaku immediately stopped fighting. He felt that he might have made the wrong decision. Hatake Sakumo might not have meant this, but he might have other intentions.
"Then..."
"I won't disturb you!"
"I will go and guard the back!"
Fugaku's visit this time actually had nothing to do with Minato. He just wanted to express his gratitude to Hatake Sakumo, but he didn't expect that it would extend to Minato.
Suddenly.
Fugaku was ready to slow down and return to the back of the team.
"Wait!"
However, at this time, Hatake Sakumo suddenly opened his mouth. As he said this, he directly stared at Fugaku with his eyes wide open.
"You can stay here."
Hatake Sakumo had just made this decision in an instant. After all, for him, Fugaku was right beside him, right under his nose. No matter what decision or actions Fugaku made, he could see it clearly at the first moment.
But if he were to send Fugaku to the back...
It was the same as putting Fugaku in the dark. He had no idea when Fugaku would come out next time and what he would do next...
At this time.
He was also tired.
He did not want to spend so much energy on Fugaku and was always on guard against Fugaku who might attack.
As a result.
It would be better to leave Fugaku here.
"Uh... okay..."
Fugaku was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed. His eyes were fixed on Hatake Sakumo next to him, and there were a lot of question marks on his head.
What was Sakumo-sama trying to do?
He was a little confused.
But for him.
Hatake Sakumo had saved his life.
He trusted Hatake Sakumo very much, so he did not say anything and quietly followed by his side.
Because the two of them were walking side by side.
Fugaku was also in a thinking state.
His eyes stared blankly at Minato in front of them. Along the way, he looked at Minato like this while thinking about what Hatake Sakumo wanted to express.
But...
Such a scene.
When it entered Hatake Sakumo's eyes.
It was another matter.
In his opinion.
Fugaku's attempt to distract him and approach Minato failed. After his action plan was disrupted, he began to think of other ways.
Thinking of this.
He became more cautious of Fugaku.
He decided not to let Fugaku calm down and think about these things. He also wanted to give Fugaku a few words of advice, so he took the initiative to talk about a new topic.
"Fugaku."
"Do you know?"
"In the moments we experienced together."
"I saw the shadow of the First Hokage-sama on Minato."
"At that time..."
"The First Hokage-sama used his own strength to prop up the entire Konohagakure, allowing us to stand at the top of the ninja world!"
Hatake Sakumo said meaningfully. When he said this, his eyes glanced at Fugaku from time to time, as if he wanted to understand Fugaku's next action from the change of his facial expression.
"I also have the same feeling."
Fugaku was not too puzzled by Hatake Sakumo's words. Just as he heard Minato say that they won, the excitement in his heart was no less than anyone else.
"I haven't seen him for a while."
"But Minato gives me a completely different feeling."
"His progress is too fast!"
"He is too talented!"
"If we compare him to the First Hokage-sama, I don't think it is too much. What Minato did, I think he can be the Fourth Hokage of the village!"
Fugaku sighed from the bottom of his heart. He had faintly heard before that Minato wanted to become the Hokage. But at that time, he felt that Minato was just an outstanding ninja, far from reaching the Hokage level. So there was still a long way to go. At that time, he felt that Hatake Sakumo was more likely to become the Hokage.
But...
After the extraordinary spirit that Minato displayed just now in the barrier, Fugaku already understood.
Minato was now a Hokage-level ninja!
This was his era!
"Huh?"
Hatake Sakumo only wanted to use his words to point out how important Minato was to Konohagakure and advise Fugaku not to think about attacking Minato anymore.
But...
The answer he received...
It was a compliment to Minato.
However.
When these compliments were heard by him.
It made him feel even more uneasy.
After all, those words could show that Fugaku really understood how important Minato was, so it was more likely that he would attack Minato before he returned to Konohagakure.
"Sigh..."
Hatake Sakumo sighed helplessly.
"There was once a strong Uchiha like you by the side of the First Hokage-sama, but it's just a pity that their ideas did not match and the strong man left. Otherwise, Konohagakure would become even more powerful..." Hatake Sakumo said meaningfully. If it was only the people of the Uchiha clan, they would be able to understand his words. However, his words would hurt the Uchiha clan. If not for speaking up for Minato, he would never have spoken like this.
"You mean Uchiha Madara?"
Fugaku's face suddenly became gloomy. He did not treat Madara as a hero, but suddenly thought of something strange that happened to him.
A while ago.
He had asked Aoba what he heard at that time. Aoba did not repeat it, but he remembered very clearly that Aoba said "Madara-sama".
This matter had been in his mind for a long time. He always felt that Madara might still be alive, but he had no evidence to prove his guess.
Until the Third Ninja World War.
He didn't know why he left the Ninja Army and went to the Country of Earth. Moreover, he had awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan, but he still fell under the other party's genjutsu.
Only the content of the genjutsu was not very clear to him. It seemed that there was a strange guidance that led him to move forward in that direction.
Just now, he had no time to think about it.
Now that he thought about it.
Was it possible...
The one who cast the genjutsu on him was Uchiha Madara?
