<><><><><><>
Believe it or not, in just a short while, Kakashi will be able to surpass the strength of a Jonin.
With a few more missions under his belt, in a few years, Kakashi will become the youngest Jonin in Konoha.
As for the others like Obito, sorry, becoming a Jonin isn't just about strength; it also depends on the number of missions completed.
So, even if you catch up in strength, Kakashi graduated years ahead and has a mission count that you can't catch up to even if you try.
However, due to the time of Sakumo Hatake's suicide earlier, it closed off the genius's heart.
On one hand, it's out of remorse for Sakumo Hatake, and on the other hand, it's out of concern for Kakashi, the exceptionally gifted child.
Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen easily agreed to Minato Namikaze's request.
Among them, what Sarutobi Hiruzen hoped to see the most was Kakashi going out more and opening up his heart again.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama. I'll go prepare now."
"Hmm."
Upon hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's agreement to his request, Minato Namikaze said, and then left the Hokage's office.
After leaving, Minato Namikaze easily spotted Kakashi's figure in front of Ichiraku Ramen.
However, before Minato Namikaze could make a move, a figure suddenly appeared and grabbed him.
In a hidden corner of the street, Minato Namikaze looked helplessly at Jiraiya, who was showing his successful Rasengan. "Jiraiya-sensei, what's this?"
"Hehe, how about it? The ninjutsu you've been developing for three years, I've already learned."
Upon hearing Minato's question, Jiraiya chuckled, and the tone of boasting was quite obvious.
Minato was quite helpless about his master's show-off personality.
Originally, seeing Jiraiya's mysterious appearance, Minato thought there was something important. But the result... was this?
"Great, but Jiraiya-sensei, I have a mission, so I'll leave first."
Minato praised him, then bid farewell and left. Watching Minato Namikaze's departing figure, Jiraiya's expression stiffened for a moment.
He originally wanted to show off in front of his disciple, but he got a simple "great" in return?
Ignoring the sadness in Jiraiya heart, Minato found Kakashi very smoothly. As soon as he saw Minato, Kakashi walked up to him.
"Sensei, is there a mission? I want to go on a mission."
Looking at Kakashi's expressionless face, with a bit of dead-fish eyes, Minato couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This kid has been too depressed lately, using missions to suppress himself all the time.
This time, because Minato brought Kakashi along with him, there was a thought of letting him gain experience.
But there was also concern about him taking on missions continuously in the village.
"Yes, Hokage-sama just assigned a mission, and you're one of the members. Let's go together. Gather at the village gate in half an hour."
"Okay."
After saying that, Kakashi turned and left to prepare.
At the same time, Asuma in front of Ichiraku Ramen, watching his teacher call Kakashi away for a mission, couldn't help but feel extremely envious.
He knew just how strong Kakashi, his teammate, really was.
This mission, led by Minato, was definitely not a simple one.
So, Asuma's heart at this moment can be described as itching and unbearable.
How could a mission like this not have his presence? So, without hesitation, Asuma volunteered to join the mission. "Sensei, can I participate in this mission?"
Asuma looked at Minato Namikaze with anticipation.
Although he knew the chances were low, what if? Indeed, looking at the eager Asuma, Minato smiled apologetically.
"Sorry, Asuma. This mission is too dangerous, and I can't bring you along."
Hearing this, Asuma's face darkened slightly. But there was nothing he could do; after all, his strength was too low. He understood this reality.
"Alright, then sensei, take care."
Asuma's request turned out to be just a minor incident.
Half an hour later, the four-person team led by Minato Namikaze officially left Konoha, heading towards the direction of the ancient Land of Wind.
On the way, except for necessary breaks, the group didn't stop at all. Rushing forward, they covered the distance to the Land of Wind in just over a day.
Looking at the distant towering towers, Minato Namikaze felt a sense of nostalgia.
In the previous years when he went on missions, he had also passed through the Land of Wind.
At that time, the Land of Wind didn't look like this.
Unexpectedly, in just a few years, it seemed like a completely different place.
The four didn't speak, quietly taking out masks from their pockets, covering their ninja headbands, hiding their identities.
However, in the next moment, Minato Namikaze's heart calmed down. Because he saw a familiar face.
At this moment, Asahi was also surprised. He never expected to encounter the Minato who is as a supporting character here.
