"Awesome!" The seven or eight-year-old child shouted loudly.

On the training ground, the blond boy smiled shyly and softly.

Getting a perfect score was something many kids in the class could do, but for a non-Uchiha commoner to be able to use a kunai like an Uchiha, that was pretty impressive.

The average Uchiha doesn't.

"Minato! That's amazing! Looks like he's ranked first again this year." The boys shouted, while the girls around looked at Minato shyly.

Born in the twenty-fourth year of Konoha, Namikaze Minato was seven years old.

He entered the ninja school at the age of six and has been studying for a year.

The daily life in the ninja school is ordinary and ordinary. Minato is just an ordinary civilian child with a little talent.

All this time, Minato would have thought that life would continue like this without any change.

Until this day, daily life was a little different.

"Minato, wait a minute." When school was over, the teacher called Minato mysteriously.

As the teacher waved, Minato came to the teacher in confusion.

"Minato, you go to the seventh training ground. There are people waiting for you over there. You have to behave well." The teacher said happily.

The seventh training ground?

Minato looked well-behaved, but he wasn't actually a particularly well-behaved child.

In this regard, as a ninja school student, he can carefully observe the clues, realize that Kushina has been kidnapped, and boldly and meticulously follow him all the way, fighting against ninjas as a weak ninja student. This ability can be seen Come out with a lot of stuff.

"What are you doing there?"

One of the things that Ninjas know is that information is life.

"Good thing." The teacher didn't care and glanced at Minato.

Ordinary children would not ask this kind of question. The teacher is the authority, and the school has been instilling the idea of ​​obeying authority. Even if they are not willing, the students of the Ninja School will obey.

And it's not like Minato couldn't explain this kind of thing.

"There is an adult who wants to accept you as his disciple, so you should behave well."

"Sir?" Minato asked, "Which one is it? Is he a jounin?"

"You'll know when you go there." The teacher said, "Little devil, don't try to trick me. Ninjas have rules, so don't underestimate me."

Minato smiled shyly at the teacher and said, "Oops, I've been seen through. Isn't this what you have always taught me, teacher?"

"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly." The teacher said.

"Ha!" Although he wanted to run away handsomely like the ninjas he had seen before, Minato didn't know how yet, so he could only respond energetically.

After bidding farewell to the teacher, he ran quickly through the village and arrived at the seventh training ground outside the village.

In the Ninja School, the school is so big, and the playground is repaired very frequently. These training grounds outside the village are occasionally used for students' training.

Minato has been here several times, so he is familiar with the place.

However, there was no one on the training ground.

Is it because you arrived too late and have already left?

Standing in the training ground, Minato didn't know what to do.

"Ah..." Minato looked at one place and exclaimed in a low voice: "Insects."

At this time, from the forest and grass beside the field, large groups of insects flew out like mist, and then squirmed and formed human shapes in front of Minato.

There was a classmate from the Aburame clan in the class, and that child often carried a small bottle of bugs. Minato had already recognized these parasitic bugs.

Minato stared at the parasites.

The parasite made no other moves.

There was silence for a moment.

At a certain moment, the insect swarm started to move, suddenly dispersed without warning, and rushed towards Minato.

Minato moved subconsciously, using his taijutsu to quickly retreat.

Being surrounded by a swarm of insects, without even thinking about it, Minato knew the bad consequences.

Since there is no ninjutsu for large-scale destruction, Minato can't do anything about these bugs in the current situation.

"Can we just run away?" Minato said loudly.

Test the insect's reaction.

Gu Yan

The swarm didn't answer.

Seeing this, Minato immediately turned around and ran away. He quickly jumped up and down and plunged into the dense forest.

The scene turned into a chase, with Minato moving quickly through the woods without any hindrance, using his foot-holding skills.

Simply using chakra to increase the explosive power of the feet is a superficial technique.

The basic steps of stepping on trees and treading water are not taught in school, and Minato doesn't know them either.

Being able to step on branches and move forward quickly in the forest, I have to say that my reflexes are very good. If I don't pay attention, I will slip and fall, let alone move forward quickly.

And with the speed of the parasitic bugs, some of them can't catch up with him.

Much smarter than Tsunade's reaction as a child.

As he ran, Minato looked back from time to time, observing the situation until he was completely freed and there was no shadow of insects behind him. He stood on the tree and stopped, clasping his knees and breathing heavily.

The all-out explosive sprint is a bit uncomfortable for a child.

"My skills are pretty good, but my physical strength is worrying." At this time, a female voice commented behind Minato.

when! ?

Turning around sharply, Minato looked at the black humanoid form formed by a swarm of insects not far away.

The color of the human body surface changes, forming the figure of a woman.

It looks a bit familiar. Memories of my childhood are rolling through my mind, but I still can't remember where I saw it.

"My lord, who are you?"

"Aburame Mushi-hime." Meiji said, "From today on, I am your master."

"Huh?" Minato was a little confused. Is that it? Did he pass the test or something?

"Follow me." Mei Ji didn't have much, and the swarm of insects dispersed and flew away.

Seeing this, Minato followed the swarm of insects.

The two came to the river.

The insect swarm formed the appearance of Mei Ji and said: "First, please introduce yourself, name, interests, dreams, etc."

"But I don't know you yet, sensei." Minato said.

"You know the name. My hobby is raising insects, and my dream is to fly into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun."

It feels like it's been a long time since I've said this.

Meiji couldn't help but feel happy when she remembered her original intention.

"Eh!?" Hearing this, Minato was even more confused and looked at Mei Ji who hesitated to speak.

"It's your turn." Meiji urged.

After hesitating for a while, Minato decided: "Namikaze Minato, your hobby is feeding ants, dreaming or something, maybe living a carefree life, right?"

"Aren't you going to be Hokage?" Mei Ji confirmed.

"Hey, why do you want to be Hokage?" Minato asked back.

"Don't you want to?" Mei Ji thought there might be something wrong.

"Speaking of which, when I was a child, I thought that being Hokage would allow me to have many friends to play with." Minato said, "But now I feel that making friends depends on sincerity, and it doesn't matter if I am Hokage or not."

"Don't you think Naruto is handsome?" Mei Ji said.

"It's a bit handsome, everyone thinks so." Minato said, "But it's impossible for everyone to want to be Hokage. I would rather be a ninja who is Hokage. It would be great if a friend can become Hokage, so that I can Feel happy.”

"Being Hokage is not important. What is important is that everyone is happy."

This kid is a bit precocious.

Normally, Mei Ji doesn't particularly care about this guy's daily life, so she doesn't really know what he looks like.

"Yeah."

"What matters is whether everyone is happy."

Hearing this, Minato nodded.

"You are happy when you are poor." Meiji said, "Naively, it is difficult to be happy without money."

"Huh?" Minato looked at Miki and blinked his big eyes.

Master, what should I say...

Minato felt a little bit bad.
