Wood Leaf, Early Morning.
The members of the Sixth Guard Squad once again gathered in front of the Naruto Building and took turns to patrol.
"Thank you for your hard work."
The members of the two squads greeted each other, and then Uchiha Yan put his hands in his pockets and left.
Everyone had long since become accustomed to his appearance.
As usual, Watergate and Shinna Kushina went back together, and after sending the latter back home, the former returned to his own home.
"Huh."
A gust of cold wind blew, causing Minato to shiver. In this season that had just warmed up, the temperature was very low. He, who had been on patrol all night, didn't feel cold, but under this gust of wind, he felt a little cold.
Whoosh!
Watergate suddenly stopped, and a few Anbu flashed in front of Watergate.
Before he arrived, Watergate had already perceived Chakra.
"Namikaze Minato, Hokage-sama orders you to go to the Hokage's building." The Anbu conveyed the order, and without much words, he flashed out.
Minato wasn't surprised. Yesterday, Orochimaru had told him that Jiraiya Sensei had asked Sandaime to send him to the battlefield, and the frontline was in an emergency. Now he was asked to go there to convey this order.
Immediately, he followed the footsteps of the Anbu and arrived at the Naruto Building.
"Sandaime-sama, why don't you let me go to the battlefield?" When they arrived at the door of Naruto's office, a loud voice came from inside.
Watergate was very familiar with this voice, and it was Nobunaga.
Watergate, who was about to go directly in, stood in place, and even the Anbu who was with him didn't know what to do.
Rustle!
At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor.
Watergate could perceive, and the Anbu looked in the direction of the sound.
A young woman with yellow hair turned out to be Tsunade, but at this time, her eyebrows were raised, and she instantly appeared in front of the two.
"Tsunade -san."
"Lord Tsunade."
Watergate and the assassin immediately said, but Tsunade directly ignored the two of them, and then rushed into Naruto's office with a slightly angry face, without closing the door.
"Lord Third Generation."
Tsunade first said to Sandaime, who was a little distressed at the desk, then turned to look at Nobuyuki.
"Stinking brat, you really have guts. You actually dare to mess around in Naruto's office."
Tsunade didn't care about the Sandaime-sama in front of him at all and directly gave Rope Tree a punch.
Shinji was in pain, but he still looked unconvinced and said, "I'm not messing around, I just want to go to the battlefield like my sister and do my part as a Wood Leaf Ninja!"
"Children should just obediently hide at home. War is a matter for adults," Tsunade said angrily.
Rope Tree refused to give up and said, "But Naruto Sandaime-sama has approved Watergate to go to the battlefield, he is my junior brother!"
Watergate, who was outside the door, was startled, how did Rope Tree know that he was going to the battlefield?
Tsunade was also stunned, and immediately looked outside the door. Watergate, who was ignored by her just now, Rope Tree also followed her line of sight.
"Watergate?" Rope Tree was surprised, he didn't notice him at all.
"Come in and talk." The Sandaime-sama waved to Watergate.
"Yes." Watergate responded, then came in and closed the door, and the Anbu left first.
Tsunade and Rope Tree stopped arguing, and the Sandaime-sama stood up and looked at Rope Tree with flashing eyes and said, "Who told you that Watergate is going to the battlefield?"
"Orochimaru," Rope Tree said immediately.
Hearing this, the Sandaime-sama's eyes sank, and so did Watergate.
He seemed to remember that Rope Tree, who died in the Second Shinobi World War, was on a mission with Orochimaru.
But now, history has changed, and if there is no accident, Rope Tree should always stay in the village.
But at this time, Orochimaru told Rope Tree that he was going to the battlefield, and with Rope Tree's character, naturally, he would ask the Sandaime-sama to go.
What is that guy's purpose?
"Orochimaru!!"
Tsunade clenched her fist, if it weren't for the Sandaime-sama, with her temper, she would have rushed to Orochimaru and beat him up.
How could she not understand the consequences of Orochimaru's actions?
The battlefield is dangerous, and with Rope Tree's current strength, he could be in danger at any time.
"Knock!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Sandaime-sama called out, and someone came in.
It turned out to be … Uchiha Yan.
"Sandaime-sama Naruto -sama."
Uchiha Yan directly ignored Watergate, Tsunade, and Rope Tree, and came to Sandaime-sama and greeted respectfully.
Sandaime-sama raised his eyes, looked at him, and said, "You should know the purpose of calling you here, right?"
The latter nodded and said, "I have heard it from my father."
Uchiha Yan's father is an elder of the Uchiha Clan, and he is also a powerful elite of the Uchiha Clan.
"Then what is your decision?" Sandaime-sama asked again.
Hearing this, Uchiha Yan's dark pupils were full of indifference, and he said, "Since many elders of the village are fighting in the front line, I naturally have no reason to retreat."
"I am willing to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!"
"You also want to go to the battlefield?"
Rope Tree suddenly froze, and then looked at Sandaime-sama again, and said, "Sandaime-sama Naruto -sama, even my two younger brothers can go to the battlefield, I also want to go!"
Minato on the side frowned, he thought that Uchiha Yan would also stay in the village to avoid the fate of death in the mission of transporting supplies.
But now …
"When did I say that you can't go to the battlefield?"
Sandaime-sama said, "As long as the ninja of the Wood Leaf Clan, regardless of age or gender, as long as they are willing to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, I will not stop them!"
"Because it is the mission of every Wood Leaf Clan ninja to protect their homeland!"
When Sandaime-sama said this, he looked at Tsunade, who wanted to say something but stopped.
Even if she is worried about Rope Tree, she is not qualified to deprive him of his obligation as a ninja.
What's more, this child's dream is to protect the precious treasure left by his grandfather.
"Thank you, Sandaime-sama Naruto -sama!" Rope Tree's eyes were bright as he bowed and knelt down.
Watergate's expression was dignified, because the history he is familiar with is both familiar and strange to him.
"However, Genin cannot directly participate in the war as combatants." Sandaime-sama added, this is a principle of wartime.
It is impossible for a weak Genin to go to the battlefield to fight with enemy ninjas.
Minato and the other two nodded, understanding the logic behind it.
But Rope Tree, who was excited to be qualified to fight, suddenly became listless.
Sandaime-sama looked at the three in front of him with a serious expression, and said, "Therefore, I hereby appoint, Watergate, Uchiha Yan, and Rope Tree, as special Chunin of the Wood Leaf Clan, to participate in the Second Shinobi World War!"
