CH 119

Chapter 119 - Hatake Sakumo

“Then it’s settled!”

After Minato got the approval of Jiraya, he was as happy as a child.

“I must study Rasengan. Whether it takes a year or two, or even three years, I must study it all the time!”

“After my research on Rasengan is successful…”

I will study the ‘Spiralling Flash Super Round Dance Howl Style Zero’, ‘Spiralling Flash Super Round Dance Howl Style One’, ‘Spiralling Flash Super Round Dance Howl Style Two’, and ‘Spiralling Flash Super Round Dance Howl Style Three’…”

When Minato mentioned these extremely long names, his eyes flashed with excitement. It could be seen that he was already impatient.

“…”

Aoba felt a headache coming on after hearing this.

Would such a name really have a deterrent effect on the enemy?

Even your teammates wouldn’t know what you were going to do, right?

“Minato, I can see that you have improved very quickly in the past two years. Maybe it won’t be long before the teacher is no match for you.” 

Jiraiya also looked at Minato with relief. He hadn’t seen him for more than two years. After seeing Minato again, the most obvious feeling was that Minato has become more mature.

“I’m still far from Sensei!” 

Minato said modestly.

“I came back this time mainly to see you. Now that I see that you are fine, I am relieved. In a few days, I will leave Konohagakure again.” 

Jiraya said with a smile.

“Sensei, you’re leaving again?” 

A reluctant expression appeared on Minato’s face.

“I want to travel the ninja world. In the past two years, I have seen many things. These things can not be understood in the village. The feelings between people and the light and darkness in the world can only be seen with my own eyes. I know how to pass on my own ninja way.” 

Jiraya said seriously. He wanted to see the world better and firmly believed in his beliefs.

“I understand.” 

Minato nodded. He knew very well that once his teacher decided, there was no way he could change it.

“Minato, you have to believe in your thoughts and do what you think is right. I deeply believe that you are the Child of Prophecy who can cause a change in the Ninja World!” 

Jiraya patted Minato on the head and said seriously.

“?”

After hearing Jiraya’s words, a bunch of question marks appeared in Aoba’s head.

How did the Child of Prophecy become Minato?

Don’t you first think that Nagato was the Child of Prophecy?

Later on, you feel that Naruto was the Child of Prophecy…

Good fellow…

A wholesale Child of Prophecy!

For a moment, Aoba looked at Jiraya with a strange expression. He suddenly felt like he was looking at an old cheater.

As long as he saw a young man with potential, he would be accepted as a student. Then they would become the Child of Prophecy.

Maybe one day among them would bloom a brilliant light.

No wonder you wanted to travel the ninja world!

Aoba suddenly felt that he had discovered something incredible.

“Yes.”

Minato immediately stood still and looked very serious. He completely treated Jiraya’s instructions seriously.

“Don’t take it seriously; you just have to practice hard, and the future of Konoha will depend on you. “

A gratified smile appeared on Jiraya’s face. He didn’t have any intention of becoming the Hokage at all. To him, collecting materials from all over the world was far more enjoyable than doing something like being trapped in a village.

After saying that, Jiraya turned around and left the alley.

He left a proud and aloof back view for Minato and Aoba.

“Jiraya-sensei has always been so free and easy. I envy his attitude in life.” 

Minato looked at Jiraya’s back and said.

“Do you also want to write novels?” Aoba suddenly asked.

“No… that’s not what I meant…” 

Minato was suddenly speechless. He did not know if Aoba meant it on the surface or some hidden meaning. However, he thought of the novels he had read before and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

“Let’s go and help Brother Teuchi. Now that the shop has such a long queue. If we do not go, he might not be able to be to handle it.” 

Aoba said lightly. He knew that he did not have the chance to read Jiraya’s memory now, so he did not insist. Following the original plan and returning to Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House was better. Maybe there would be other gains.

“That’s right, I forgot about Brother Teuchi. Let’s go over now.” Minato suddenly slapped his head. He had just been busy talking to his teacher, and he had forgotten that the main purpose of coming here today was to help Teuchi facilitate the membership system.

Then Minato and Aoba passed through the crowd and entered Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House.

It had to be said, the current Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House was unusually hot.

…

When they entered, Teuchi was in front of the counter.

“Brother Teuchi!”

Minato was the first to come to Ramen Ichiraku. He smiled and greeted Teuchi. Then he jumped directly behind the counter.

Aoba followed behind Minato. He was not so excited; he still had to maintain his bad health.

“Minato, Aoba, you are finally here. I am tired to death.”

When Teuchi saw these two people, he quickly raised his hand to wipe his sweat. Then, he let out a long sigh of relief.

“Minato, your eloquence is good. You come to ask the customers for their needs, explain the membership system to them, and collect money.”

“Aoba, you are responsible for registering the name and amount and the distribution of the vouchers.”

“As for the rest, you two have to figure it out for me.”

“I have to hurry up and cook the ramen!”

When Teuchi saw Minato and Aoba, he immediately relaxed. He was not good at registering members. After lining up for so long, he had only registered two people. He was very busy.

“Okay!”

Minato nodded and picked up the partition next to the counter, allowing Aoba to come in. Then he casually pushed the small registry of the member to Aoba.

“No problem.”

Aoba took the small notebook and was responsible for Ramen Ichiraku’s registration.

This was exactly what he wanted to do.

The registration would let him know the names of every customer who paid.

Maybe he would catch a big fish and would get an unexpected harvest.

…

Under the division of labor, Minato and Aoba moved faster and faster, and their efficiency also increased.

Most of the people in front of the line were old people in the village.

Some people were greedy for small gains.

Some people were applying for a card for the little grandson about to attend the Ninja School.

Some people lined up to join in the fun and left after asking around.

There were all kinds of people.

It was just that…

Aoba saw that nearly 50 vouchers had been issued.

It was as if half of them had arrived.

However, he did not encounter any existence with the slightest bit of strength.

“Aoba, how many free vouchers do we have?” Minato suddenly asked.

“52,” Aoba answered directly.

“Understood.”

Minato nodded, then put his hands to his mouth and loudly said to the people in the queue behind him.

“Now, there are only 52 vouchers left.”

“If everyone thinks that they may not be able to get them, they don’t have to queue up anymore.”

“Those who have a chance to get them in the queue, think about the amount of value they want.”

“The next time will be a month later.”

“Those who don’t have a membership card don’t queue up to occupy other people’s seats.”

After Minato sorted out his thoughts, he loudly said to these people.

It stays silent for a while.

Then the people in the queue began to discuss.

Everyone began to re-examine the issue of how much they should have.

No one wanted to miss this opportunity.

“I want 10,000 Ryo!”

After hearing Minato’s words, the person who was currently queuing in the first place immediately made up his mind that he had to get the five free vouchers.

“I also want 10,000 Ryo!”

The big sister in the second line also said. She began to search her wallet and prepared the money in advance.

…

Gradually.

An hour passed.

All 100 vouchers were sold.

A total of 34 members were registered.

After the limited membership ended, people dispersed one after another, and Ramen Ichiraku returned to his original appearance.

Those who didn’t get a membership were upset and decided to line up earlier when the quota was distributed next month.

“Finally done.”

Minato wiped the sweat on his forehead and shouted until his throat was hoarse. Although he was very tired, his heart was satisfied.

“Yes.”

Aoba nodded lightly.

He looked at the list of names on the member book and was very helpless.

To a certain extent, this limited membership did cause the customer to temporarily lose their mind and enter a state of frenzy.

However, those who came early to line up were the ordinary people in the village and not ninjas.

Facing these people, there was no need for Aoba to take the risk of touching their heads.

After all, these people were just living cameras to him.

There was no difference between filming early and late.

It was not worth it to take the risk in front of so many people.

“You two have worked hard. I will treat you guys to some ramen. This event is very successful, and I have more confidence in future members.” 

Teuchi said with a smile. His face was full of joy, and he began to imagine himself as the richest man in Konoha.

“It’s not hard, it’s not hard, hehe,” Minato said with a smile. His heart was very satisfied, and he was very willing to do these things to help people. When he saw that the people who were helped were very happy, he would be very happy.

However, the Ramen Ichiraku entrance curtain was pulled open at this moment.

Two people walked towards them. One was an adult, and the other was a child. Both of them had silver-white hair.

The adult was wearing Konohagakure’s standard ninja uniform. He wore a Konohagakure forehead protector and carried a short knife on his back. On his left shoulder was a distinctive short white sleeve with red edges and the standard crest of Uzushiogakure.

The child looked like he had not woken up. He wore a mask on his face that completely covered his face. He looked very mysterious.

These two people were Konoha’s White Fang father and son.

Hatake Sakumo and Hatake Kakashi.

“Hello, Minato.”

After entering, Sakumo’s eyes fell on Minato. He confirmed his son’s Jonin instructor in advance through his own connections.

Only the young Jonin was qualified to be his genius son’s mentor in front of him.

As for why he had to confirm this before entering the school, the reason was very simple.

Sakumo was very clear about his son’s talent. The five years of Ninja School were nothing in front of his son.

For his son Kakashi, maybe in less than a year.

The other children in the Ninja School would need five years to graduate.

When his son graduates early. He could practice together with his designated instructor in advance.

Therefore…

When the children of other families did not know if they could pass the graduation exam to become a Genin.

Sakumo had already known Kakashi’s instructor before he even graduated.

“Sakumo-sama!”

A sunny smile appeared on Minato’s face, and then he turned his eyes to Kakashi.

Minato immediately realized. This seemingly arrogant child was his future student.

“Minato, let me introduce you. This is my son, Kakashi.” 

Sakumo pulled Kakashi into Ramen Ichiraku and came to the counter.

“Kakashi, this is Minato, the most talented elite Jonin of Konohagakure.” 

Sakumo introduced him to Kakashi. As a real genius, there were not many geniuses that could enter his eyes, and Minato was one of them.

“Hello, Kakashi.” 

Minato smiled and stretched out his hand.

“Hello.” 

Kakashi was a little cold, and he shook his hand, looking like he was forced to open for business.

“By the way, Sakumo-sama, do you want to be a member of Ramen Ichiraku? When you go out to do tasks, you don’t have to worry about Kakashi’s meal.” 

Minato suddenly said. He knew that there was no quota left, but he still had a chance to go through the back door.

“Ramen Ichiraku’s member…” 

Sakumo’s face showed a thoughtful expression, and he looked down at Kakashi, remaining silent for a while.

However, Teuchi brought up two bowls of steaming ramen at this time.

In front of Minato and Aoba.

Then the fragrance spread out around Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House. This tempting fragrance directly entered the noses of Sakumo and Kakashi.

“Isn’t this Sakumo-sama?”

When Teuchi saw Sakumo, his face broke into a smile, and his eyes narrowed into slits.

“Sakumo-sama wants to be a member, right?”

“You don’t have to worry about not having a place!”

“I have decided to choose you as our lucky customers.”

“You can get 10,000 Ryo membership cards for free!”

Teuchi said directly. He had long heard of Sakumo’s name, but the father and son did not seem to be so keen on ramen.

This time, he wanted to give them a membership card.

As long as the membership card was given. Then the two would come often.

This would have a far-reaching impact on Ramen Ichiraku.

In Teuchi’s opinion, Sakumo was likely to become the 4th Hokage in the future.

“Aoba, why don’t you go through the process of being a lucky customer? I’m going to get the camera.”
