Naruto: Minato Namikaze, born evil

Chapter 64 Catching Cats

Hematogenous inheritance is a long-term research topic.

Besides the Hashirama cell transplantation experiment, Orochimaru was unwilling to give up the research direction of natural combination.

As the successor of Wood Release, no one was more suitable for this experiment than Minato.

Unfortunately, Minato already has someone by his side.

Tsunade, Kushina…

One of these two is a top-tier medical ninja, the granddaughter of the First Hokage, and also Minato's teacher.

One was a candidate for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, possessing naturally powerful chakra capable of suppressing the Nine-Tails, and was also Minato's childhood friend.

Both of them are outstanding girls, and the relationship between the three of them is quite complicated.

Before today, Orochimaru always believed that Minato would make a choice sooner or later.

But now it seems that this kid had no intention of making a choice at all; he wanted them all!

But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem strange at all.

The key to this kind of thing is not whether you want to or not, but whether you dare to and whether you can do it!

Minato is the type who understands self-reflection and has a clear understanding of himself, so he is unlikely to avoid problems.

Moreover, he even dares to dream of immortality; he's just playing both sides. What is there that he wouldn't dare to do?

but……

If you've already stepped on two boats, then adding one more shouldn't be a big deal, right?

After all, men have three legs...

At least he believed in Minato's abilities.

Orochimaru rested the pen lightly on his chin, lost in thought.

Senju, Uzumaki, Uchiha…

Okay, that's all for now.

"hunting."

"Your subordinate is here."

A figure quietly appeared behind Orochimaru and knelt on one knee.

"Go and investigate which Uchiha girls between the ages of five and fifteen are both talented and beautiful, and then compile the information and submit it to me."

"yes!"

Then, Orochimaru summoned a female subordinate: "Tsuru."

"Lord Orochimaru."

A slender figure knelt on one knee, speaking respectfully.

"Find out which female friends Kato Dan has close relationships with, pick one who has feelings for him, and have him contribute to the population of Konoha. Remember to deal with her cleanly."

"yes!"

Although the mission was somewhat absurd, the Root organization only cared about carrying it out; whether it was reasonable or not was not something they should consider.

Orochimaru is different from Danzo. Unlike Danzo, he doesn't believe that ninjas are just tools and shouldn't have their own emotions, but he still maintains the rules that Root should have.

…………

The next day, after finishing breakfast, Rope Tree excitedly rushed out of the house.

Today he will officially begin his ninja mission alongside Kato Dan!

Filled with burning passion and anticipation for his future ninja career, Nawaki arrived at the Hokage Building, gathered with his teammates, and prepared to take on his first ninja mission.

However, he soon lost his vitality.

My first mission in life: to find my lost pet cat.

Minato's figure was hidden in the tree canopy. He watched Rope Tree, who was bent over in the bushes searching for his pet cat, and thought to himself that Konoha was a really magical place where pet cats went missing every day.

However, Konoha has many detached houses, and most cats are kept free-range, so there's no way they could get lost.

Moreover, a D-level mission starts at 5000 taels, which is no small amount.

At present, a bowl of ramen in Konoha costs about fifty ryo, and two people can eat until they're sick of it at an izakaya for five hundred ryo.

Five thousand taels of silver to find a cat? There are so many rich people in Konoha...

This is not a joke, but a fact.

Although Konoha is nominally just a village, in reality, its area and urban economy far exceed that of an ordinary city, and there are quite a few nobles from the Land of Fire living there.

After spending the whole morning, the group finally found their target cat in a small alley.

Rope Tree pounced on the cat, only to have his face scratched – a special treatment reserved for the team's center.

"Ha... I didn't expect catching a cat to be so difficult."

After completing their mission, the group left the Hokage Building, with Nawaki complaining.

"The path of a ninja is full of challenges, you know, Nawaki-kun."

Kato Dan said gently, "How about I treat everyone to barbecue to celebrate the success of our first mission?"

"Why--?"

The girl in the group drawled, "Finally, we've graduated! We don't have to go to school every day anymore. I was even planning to go shopping with my friends..."

"Why don't we invite some friends along? It's still early, we can go shopping after we eat," Kato Dan suggested with a smile.

"Huh? Is it really okay?"

The girl's eyes lit up: "Wouldn't that be inappropriate, since it's the teacher treating us?"

"Haha, don't worry, I'm a Jonin after all, I can afford to treat you to a barbecue."

As Kato spoke, he looked at Nawaki and another boy.

"You guys too, if you have friends, you can invite them too, or brothers and sisters or something. A good social circle will also be beneficial for us to carry out missions in the future."

"I'll pass."

Rope Tree waved his hand: "A barbecue restaurant can't satisfy my family. Brother Dan, you don't know, Minato is practically a reincarnation of the God of Cooking. He can make anything a barbecue restaurant has, and he can even make things they don't!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another boy nodded, "I'll pass too, I don't have many friends."

"Haha, I see..."

That kid is so slow to understand!

Kato smiled awkwardly, but couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Not far away, Minato, disguised as a passerby and pretending to read a newspaper, almost burst out laughing when he heard Nawaki's words.

Well done, Nawaki!

Once you've mastered the Rasengan, your brother-in-law will teach you the Rasenshuriken!

Minato waited until the group entered the barbecue restaurant before quietly leaving.

The day after the necklace was given away, Rope Tree was not in any immediate danger.

However, continuing to monitor him like this is not a good idea, since Minato himself also needs to train.

As he gets older, he should gradually begin to train in physical skills.

Some physical skills can be learned by the clone, but physical improvement can only be achieved through training by the original body.

After thinking about it, Minato realized he really should learn a few reconnaissance ninjutsu, so he wouldn't have to follow people around so furtively. People who didn't know better would think he was a peeping tom.

Just as Minato was pondering which ninjutsu to learn, several documents from Root were delivered to Orochimaru.

Are these the only eligible girls in the Uchiha clan?

"Yes."

"This group is a bit too masculine and too feminine. No wonder they all have such bad tempers; it turns out it's a hormonal imbalance..."

Orochimaru casually joked as he flipped through the documents in his hand.

Uchiha Mie, 5 years old, is exceptionally talented.

She's pretty good-looking, sweet and charming, but I don't know if she's Minato's type.

Uchiha Yun, 14 years old, Genin, with average talent.

He's better looking than the previous one, but his lack of talent is a major flaw. Minato deserves better.

To be honest, there aren't many ugly people in this clan, but that's not always the case; their young clan leader, Fugaku, is quite ugly...

As he continued flipping through the documents, he suddenly paused slightly, his eyes narrowing.

Mikoto Uchiha, 12 years old, Chunin, with exceptional talent.

Appearance...

Judging from his judgment as someone who's obsessed with looks, she's a stunning beauty!
