The Bathroom Door.
Akira Tsubaki leaned against the door with his hands in his pockets and a calm expression on his face.
In the bathroom, Rin was naked, and her face was blank.
In this situation, will Akira Tsubaki be embarrassed?
Of course not.
He firmly believes that as long as he is not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.
What's more, it's protecting Rin's safety.
"You, have you seen enough?" Rin said weakly, her face pink.
"For your safety, I can't let you out of my sight," Akira Tsubaki was serious.
Hearing this sentence, Rin panicked, wrapped the bath towel around her body indiscriminately, and rushed out with her head down.
As a result, she hit Akira Tsubaki with a bang.
The towel fell, and she staggered.
"It's hot!"
Accompanied by an exclamation, she knelt directly in front of Akira Tsubaki.
Afternoon.
It might be because of the hot weather.
Rin took a shower several times.
"You are really close protection~~"
"Akira? Why don't you speak?"
Seeing Akira Tsubaki ignoring her, Rin's heart sank.
Am I starting to annoy him?
"Someone is coming," Akira Tsubaki turned his head and looked towards the door.
"Ah?"
Rin felt relieved immediately.
It turned out he wasn't ignoring her, but listening to the movement outside.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of footsteps outside the door gradually became clear.
Immediately, the door was pushed open, and Anko's head stuck out.
Seeing Akira Tsubaki lying on the sofa and Rin kneeling on the ground, Anko was relieved.
"The Sensei asked us to gather."
Training Ground No. 9.
Under the tree.
After waiting for everyone to arrive, Namikaze Minato threw a scroll to Akira Tsubaki.
"Let's see."
Opening the scroll, Team Minato collectively browsed it.
"The three Ninja Villages joined forces?"
"Also gathered at the Sunagakure front!"
"Isn't this too shameless?"
Anko and the others were filled with righteous indignation, thinking that the three major Ninja Villages were too despicable.
The information in the scroll was transmitted from the front line. It stated that Kumogakure and Iwagakure had appeared in the Sunagakure frontline positions.
Akira Tsubaki was not surprised.
After all, the presence of two Wood Style Ninjas in Konoha Village was sure to touch a nerve in other Ninja Villages.
"Akira, tell me your opinion…"
After Team Minato finished browsing, Namikaze Minato signaled.
Akira Tsubaki touched his chin and thought for a moment.
"When did this happen?" he asked.
"It was just sent back. I made a copy," Namikaze Minato replied.
"I see."
Nodding his head, Akira Tsubaki continued: "Iwagakure and Kumogakure should not be a large force, but a small force."
"What do you think their purpose is?" Minato pressed.
"Contain," Akira Tsubaki's answer was short.
"Contain?"
"Right! They have a Three-Way Alliance. And Iwagakure and Kumogakure are using Sunagakure to contain most of the Ninjas in our village."
Akira Tsubaki expressed his speculation.
It was a very effective, very underhanded tactic.
In Akira Tsubaki's view, Iwagakure and Kumogakure's move was to further increase the pressure on Konoha's front line.
As a result, Konoha Village could only continue to draw Ninjas and put them into the front against Sunagakure.
Speaking of this, Akira Tsubaki added another sentence.
"More than that, as long as most of the Ninja forces in the village are contained, then the large forces of Kumogakure and Iwagakure should move."
As Akira Tsubaki's voice fell, Namikaze Minato felt the pressure.
He agreed with Akira Tsubaki's speculation.
A Three-Way Alliance meant Kumogakure and Iwagakure were about to raid the Land of Fire.
But Konoha Village's power was forced to fight against Sunagakure.
This is a naked conspiracy!
Crush Konoha Village with sheer numbers of Ninjas.
"I'm going to find the Third Hokage."
Namikaze Minato took back the scroll and left in a hurry.
At this moment, the atmosphere in Team Minato seemed a bit dull.
"It seems that our Anbu assessment is likely to fail," Kakashi suddenly said.
"Not necessarily," Akira Tsubaki shook his head.
He couldn't compliment the Third Hokage's vision.
Power has corrupted the judgment of the person in power.
Hokage's Office.
Namikaze Minato hurried in and relayed Akira Tsubaki's speculation to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
After listening, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.
"Minato, if the village doesn't send more troops to the front, Sunagakure will break through."
"Instead of guarding against the coming attack, we should first stabilize Sunagakure's attack."
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke with sincerity.
To be honest, he didn't quite agree with Minato's inference just now. Because Konoha had just signed a truce with Kumogakure.
The price of this agreement was only for Team Minato to go to the Land of Grass to fight Iwagakure.
Today, Konoha had fulfilled this condition. There was no reason for Kumogakure to attack Konoha.
"I'll take my leave first."
Namikaze Minato looked disappointed and had no intention of staying any longer.
Looking at Minato's back, Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little dissatisfied.
He has come here many times to give his opinion. If I didn't know better, I would think Namikaze Minato was the Hokage!
It's truly disrespectful.
When Namikaze Minato returned to the training ground, Team Minato noticed that the Sensei looked disappointed.
"It seems that he was stunned by the Third Hokage," Akira Tsubaki muttered to himself.
"No way?" Rin was worried.
"If you don't believe me, ask," Akira Tsubaki urged.
"I won't."
Under the tree.
Walking in front of Team Minato, Namikaze Minato calmed down.
"The Anbu assessment will be held tomorrow. The theoretical booklet has been handed over to you. As for the actual combat, you can only rely on yourselves."
"Wait a minute! Sensei, did you tell the Third Hokage about Obito's disappearance?" Akira Tsubaki suddenly asked.
"I said it! But according to the Third Hokage's judgment, Obito should be a traitor to the village," Namikaze Minato shook his head.
Betray the village?
Team Minato was speechless.
As far as Obito's strength as the Dead Last goes, he betrayed the village?
Wouldn't it be safer to use him in the village than outside?
"Hehe~~ Obito's life and death, why would the dignified Hokage care?" Kakashi sneered.
"Why is the Third Hokage like this? Obito was obviously taken away by Madara," Anko complained.
"Yes," Rin agreed.
"I already told the Third Hokage about this speculation, but unfortunately he didn't believe it," Namikaze Minato was also very helpless.
He knew very well that even if he told the Third Hokage about Akira Tsubaki's abilities, the other party would still not believe that Madara had kidnapped Obito.
Therefore, Namikaze Minato still concealed Akira Tsubaki's ability.
"This is the sorrow of the little people~~"
Akira Tsubaki sighed with emotion and stood up.
