Naruto: I, the righteous one, became the mastermind behind everything!

"The most important thing is that I, as well as Teacher Minato, Shisui, the Third Hokage, and many others, when you become our companions, we will stand in front of you, have your back, and protect you. You, support you!”

Saying that, Hoshita Shuichi extended his hand to Asuka.

Asuka looked up at Hoshita Shuichi and saw seriousness and sincerity in his eyes: "Thank you... thank you!"

She held out her hand.

Shuichi Hoshita held Asuka's soft and cold hand, and then pulled her up forcefully.

But Asuka stumbled, and in a panic, she hugged Shuichi Hoshita into her arms.

"Hug...I'm sorry, Shuichi-kun!"

Asuka hurriedly apologized and pulled Hoshita Shuichi out of her arms.

Hoshita Shuichi sniffed, a little embarrassed.

Namikaze Minato immediately spoke to resolve: "Since we have reached an agreement, let's rest as soon as possible. We will set off back to Konoha early in the morning!"

"It's Minato-sensei!"

Hoshita Shuichi and Uchiha Shisui nodded.

Then Namikaze Minato arranged: "Shisui, you come with me, Shuichi and Asuka come together."

After arranging the two rooms, Minato Namikaze left with Uchiha Shisui.

After they left, Hoshita Shuichi immediately felt a little more comfortable.

Still not thick-skinned enough!

After thinking about it, Hoshita Shuichi said to Asuka, "You can sleep on the bed, and I'll keep vigil at the door."

After saying that, he sat down cross-legged at the door.

Asuka opened her mouth, then nodded silently, turned around and lay down on the bed.

At first, his back was turned to Hoshita Shuichi, but he turned his head unconsciously and looked at Hoshita Shuichi's back through the lenses.

At this moment, Hoshita Shuichi's attention was focused on the entry tree in his mind.

Entry: Pioneer

Acquisition conditions: Develop at least 5 A-level and above ninja skills, including but not limited to ninjutsu, sealing, illusion, taijutsu and other ninja skills; if someone assists, I must at least play a key role in pioneering.

Effect: A "flash of inspiration" once a year, lasting 10 minutes. During the time when the "flash of inspiration" is activated, your understanding is maxed out and your creativity is maxed out.

Rasengan, Blue Flame Sky Blade, Blue Flame Waterfall Knife, Fire Instant Body - Step by Step Lotus, Fire Release - Buddha's Wrath Lotus.

There are 4 A-levels and 1 S-level in total.

He had already initially completed the secret of the A-level swordsmanship of the Blue Flame Waterfall Sword before going on a mission. His continuous use of it in actual combat had already announced that this move was completely finalized.

"Light up!"

Xingxia Xiuyi thought about it, and the leaves of the entry belonging to "The Founder" immediately lit up.

But it's not blue light, it's red!

So far, the first red entry is even higher than the master entry!

However, the ability to have a flash of inspiration is indeed extremely amazing. The max of understanding and the max of pioneering are directly maxed out.

"But you only get one chance a year, so you must cherish it."

After lighting up the entry, Hoshita Shuichi secretly planned: "First of all, there must be accumulation. Even if the understanding is maximal and the groundbreaking is maximal, without a foundation, it is still a loft in the sky."

"Secondly, we need to do the preliminary development of the technique first, so that this capability can be activated at critical moments."

"For example, in the direction of high-temperature rays, there is no need to waste this year's opportunity."

"This year... it's best to use it on the S-level swordsmanship mysteries and get the entry [Master of Swordsmanship]."

"Next year... if there's time, I'll be able to escape from the wind."

"Then there's medical ninjutsu..."

That night, Hoshixia Xiuyi thought a lot.

On the bed, Asuka looked at Hoshita Shuichi's back and thought a lot.

There is confusion, hope, expectation, and fear of the unknown.

Unknowingly, she fell into a slow sleep.

When I woke up, it was already dawn outside.

"Get up and wash up, we're leaving soon."

A gentle voice sounded in her ears, and Asuka was stunned for a moment.

It was the first time since her mother's death that she slept so deeply.

But then she quickly stood up and quickly went to wash up with a blushing face.

After breakfast, with the gift from Kusanagi Wuwei, Hoshita Shuichi and four others left Kusanagi Village.

After galloping all the way and entering the Country of Fire, the four of them stopped to rest.

Hoshita Shuichi caught two small animals as usual, and then took Asuka to a small river to deal with them.

A handful of medical ninja tools were put away, leaving Asuka stunned.

"This one……"

Asuka opened her mouth to speak.

Xingxia Xiuyi said: "Don't worry, everything has been disinfected."

"Besides, as a medical ninja, you must be skilled in using these instruments."

"Although there is a Chakra Scalpel technique, these are also necessary before mastering this technique, although they are usually not used on the battlefield."

Asuka nodded: "I understand."

Then she also squatted aside and helped Hoshita Shuichi, watching Hoshixia Shuichi clean up the two small animals with great skill, and then went to the river to catch two fish.

Fish soup + barbecue, the taste is as good as ever.

But for Hoshixia Xiuyi and the others, things have changed.

Still four people, but different.

Different from talking and laughing in the past, this meal was eaten in silence.

After resting for half an hour after the meal, the team continued on the road.

At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after registration, Hoshita Shuichi and four others entered Konoha Village, and then came to the Hokage Building together.

Hokage's office.

The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, smoked a cigarette and listened to Namikaze Minato's report. After it was over, he couldn't help but sigh: "Sanyo is a good boy. He is the hero of Konoha. The village will arrange a funeral for him."

"Let's leave it to the day after tomorrow!"

Namikaze Minato nodded: "Yes."

Then he added: "Shisui has opened the three Magatama Sharingan."

After the rising smoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes narrowed: "At this age... you are even more outstanding than the mirror!"

"Shisui is indeed outstanding."

Namikaze Minato said: "Moreover, Shisui's character has not changed dramatically."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded happily: "This is a child with a strong will."

Then Minato Namikaze talked about Asuka again.

Sarutobi Hiruzen listened quietly, thought for a moment and then said: "Then let her follow Shuichi first!"

"After making sure there is no problem, let Kushina go see her."

Namikaze Minato also had the same intention, nodded and said: "Understood!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen then asked: "How is Shuichi?"

Namikaze Minato knew what he meant and immediately said: "Although he was affected, he was not depressed by it."

"But Shuichi is willing to go to Konoha Hospital to continue to learn medical ninjutsu in depth."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and thought: "In that case, let Shuichi go to Konoha Hospital and teach Asuka by the way."

"When the time is right, arrange for Xiuyi to go to the roots for special training, and then enter the ANBU."

"Shisui joins the Chuunin team."

At this point, Team Minato is disbanded!

……

Both Hoshita Shuichi and Uchiha Shisui had a premonition about the team's disbandment.

Originally, this matter was nothing. It was just because Kurama Sanyo died in the battle that it was inevitable to feel a little sad.

Namikaze Minato patted Hoshita Shuichi and Uchiha Shisui on the shoulders and said, "Go back and have a good rest. Come to Sanyo's funeral the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, Minato-sensei!"

Hoshita Shuichi and Uchiha Shisui nodded, and then the three of them parted.

After returning home with Asuka, Hoshita Shuichi started busy.

It was a bit reluctant for three people to live in a two-bedroom home. Shuichi Hoshishita slept in the study most of the time before, and the master bedroom belonged to the pharmacist Nonou.

Now that Asuka is here, the study is freed up for Asuka to live in. Shuichi Hoshita moves back to the master bedroom and builds a tatami.

"I have to buy a house and move..."

After cleaning for more than an hour, when the pharmacist Noonoyu came back and saw Asuka cleaning the house, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Dean!"

Seeing the return of Yakushi Nonou, Hoshita Shuichi was in a good mood and quickly introduced: "This is Asuka, who used to be from the Kingdom of Whirlpool. From now on, follow me to learn medical ninjutsu!"

Pharmacist Nonou looked at Asuka's red hair, and understood in his heart, then smiled and said: "Hello, I am Pharmacist Nonou, you can just call me Nonou."

Asuka nodded quickly: "Yes, Nonou-senpai!"
