Walking out of the Hokage Building, Akira Tsubaki looked a little gloomy.
"Hey, what did Lord Danzō tell you? Is it about a mission?"
Obito leaned over, looking like a curious child.
"Nothing."
Akira Tsubaki was not in high spirits and walked away alone.
"Huh? Something's wrong with him," Rin wondered.
In the past, Akira Tsubaki was just too lazy to care, but just now, he seemed a little lost.
"Maybe he was reprimanded," Kakashi guessed.
Yard.
Back home, Akira Tsubaki lay on the wooden chair, looking very preoccupied.
Half an hour later.
His expression changed, and he looked in one direction.
"Damn it, let me pretend for so long."
At this moment, how could Akira Tsubaki look disappointed? It was a calculated performance.
"I can't go to Minato-sensei yet, because I'm not sure if Danzō has sent other monitors."
Thinking this, he went back inside, took out a pen and paper, and began to record the characteristics of the Gravity Orb (Jūryoku Dama).
"First, the Chakra required for this technique is extremely large."
"Second, once the Gravity Orb is thrown, it immediately releases a terrifying gravitational force, attracting and pulling all surrounding matter."
"Third, I am not affected by this gravitational force, and I can transport Chakra through the air."
"Fourth, once I stop sending Chakra, the Gravity Orb will explode immediately."
"Fifth, the exploding Gravity Orb does not distinguish between friend and foe. Even I, the caster, have to flee from the explosion's range."
Stopping his pen, Akira Tsubaki read it again.
Then he crumpled up the paper and burned it.
He had memorized the technique's characteristics; there was no need to leave evidence.
Noon.
Akira Tsubaki took to the street with his hands in his pockets.
After buying a few skewers of Dango (meatballs), he strolled to the residential area.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
He knocked on Kushina-senpai's door, but no one answered.
"I forgot, Kushina-senpai should be at the bathhouse."
Happy Hot Springs Bathhouse!
When Akira Tsubaki walked into the shop, his eyes were blinded.
Women.
The shop was full of scantily clad women.
"Huh? Brat, this place only accepts women. What are you doing here?" A middle-aged woman in a tank top turned her head and reminded him.
"Only women?"
Akira Tsubaki was slightly taken aback.
Good grief. That's a good idea for attracting customers.
"Huh? Akira?"
Kushina, who had just finished recording at the front desk, looked up and saw Akira Tsubaki at the door.
In the reception room.
"Kushina-senpai, can you help me make an appointment with Minato-sensei?" Akira Tsubaki explained the purpose of his visit.
"You want me to help you schedule a date with Minato?" Kushina looked puzzled.
Why not just go directly to Minato himself? Why the roundabout approach?
"Eight o'clock tonight, at the barbeque shop."
After leaving those words, Akira Tsubaki left in a hurry.
"It's strange," Kushina felt baffled.
8:00 PM.
In the box of the barbeque shop.
"I heard from Kushina that you're looking for me. This must be very important," Namikaze Minato looked serious.
Akira Tsubaki arranging an appointment through Kushina was enough to indicate the matter was critical and that there was a risk of being discovered.
"It's about you, Sensei," Akira Tsubaki lowered his voice.
"Tell me."
"Danzō asked me to be his spy on you."
"Um?"
Namikaze Minato looked surprised.
He thought for a moment.
"It must be related to the killing of the three Root Ninjas."
"Sensei, you are taking the blame for me," Akira Tsubaki was a little embarrassed.
After all, he did the deed himself, but Danzō thought Minato-sensei was responsible.
"You admit that you did it?" Namikaze Minato smiled knowingly.
"Huh?"
"In the future, don't say such things again."
In fact, from the very beginning, Namikaze Minato had suspected his student, which is why he asked Akira Tsubaki to burn the bodies.
"This matter should pass soon," Namikaze Minato reminded him.
Failure on the front line would certainly lead to disastrous consequences.
At this critical juncture, Minato believed Danzō would not investigate him too closely.
"Go back and practice hard. You might be sent to the battlefield at any time."
Akira Tsubaki thought Minato-sensei was a Crow's Mouth.
They discussed the battlefield at night, and he received his orders the next morning.
Early Morning.
After receiving the urgent assembly order, Akira Tsubaki rushed to the village square, not even having time to eat.
"Huh? Kiki, do you have teammates?" Seeing Ibiki Morino in the square, Akira Tsubaki greeted him.
As a result, Ibiki Morino turned his head to the side, with an expression of 'I don't know you.'
"Hey, that Dead Last is calling you by your nickname," Hayate Gekkō said with surprise.
Being called a nickname by a Dead Last? Can you bear it?
But the truth was, Ibiki Morino endured it.
"Hayate, they might have a close relationship," Yūgao Uzuki guessed.
Seeing Kiki ignore him, Akira Tsubaki found another acquaintance.
"Anko, why are you so listless? Where are your teammates?"
Seeing the lonely Anko, Akira Tsubaki chuckled.
Then.
He noticed Anko was crying.
This...
Akira Tsubaki remembered.
Anko's Sensei defected!
No wonder.
Out of humanitarianism, and to ensure Anko didn't reveal the secret of the three Root Ninjas, Akira Tsubaki once again invited her to join Team Minato.
"Are you really willing to let me join?" Wiping away her tears, Anko was overjoyed.
Since her Sensei defected, her teammates abandoned her, and other teams were unwilling to accept her because she was branded by Orochimaru.
Unexpectedly, Team Minato was willing to accept her.
"However, if the team wants to increase personnel, it needs the approval of the elders," Anko was a little worried.
"Isn't that a trivial matter? I'll go find Lord Danzō later," Akira Tsubaki looked calm, speaking in a relaxed tone.
As Danzō's undercover agent, it's time to use his influence.
Hearing this, Kakashi and the others looked suspicious.
"Akira, since when did your relationship with Danzō get so good?"
As time passed, more and more Ninjas gathered in the square.
Akira Tsubaki realized that almost all the Genin teams from his class had arrived.
"It seems the scale of this mission is huge~~" Kakashi marveled.
"Is it possible that we're going to the front lines to fight Sunagakure?" Obito asked nervously.
"Probably not," Anko thought for a moment and replied.
"Oh? Do you have insider information?"
"I just overheard someone say that it seems to be against the vanguard of Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village)."
Kumogakure? Vanguard?
Akira Tsubaki was slightly surprised.
"So, Kumogakure has already passed through the Land of the Moon and the Land of Hot Water?"
He suddenly thought of Minako and hoped she was safe.
Glancing at his Attribute Panel, Akira Tsubaki's eyes shone slightly.
