The God Of Shinobi
Chapter 39 2 Options
Why do you always ask that? While in the meeting room of the Hokage's office, the father also asked the same question. Did dad know anything? Shhtt, Naruto said in his heart.
Minato looked at the boy and waited for an answer from him.
‘’Why do you always ask Sage Mode? It's a trend, huh?’’ ask Naruto.
He avoided answering her again, Minato said inwardly.
The flashback
Sandaime looked at the silent Minato. ‘’He can find the whereabouts of Anko Mitarashi who is hiding. Remain calm strategizing in desperate situations, then use Henge Jutsu in Kuchiyose so that no one realizes the Kuchiyose animal he summoned was a frog holding a sword. If the three children saw him, they would think how could the Kuchiyose animals belonging to you and Jiraiya be there.’’
But, the Kuchiyose animal that served me and Jiraiya sensei was the red Gammabunta. In addition, the frog called Naruto is orange with the mouth and eyelids in navy. When I was on Mount Myoboku, it was like Gammakichi, but the frog was a kid. As told by Anko, her frog was the same size as her Kuchiyose animal, Minato said in his heart.
‘’Yondaime-sama, everything is clear. Naruto's abilities are far above the Jounins in this village other than the two of us. That means, he was indeed a sent spy. I didn't expect Iwagakure to do an experiment like this to a kid as small as Naruto,’’ Sandaime said.
Minato simply kept silent without commenting.
‘’Naruto lives with you, right? What if you ask the boy directly? I bet Naruto will shy away from answering him,’’ Sandaime said.
Flashback off
‘’I'm just curious,’’ replied Minato smiling.
Naruto's face became tense, but he maintained his calm countenance.
‘’I'll try to talk to him,’’ Minato said.
Minato was about to walk away, but he had no time to hold the doorknob, Sandaime spoke again.
‘’Before something happened. I'll give you 2 choices. First, if Naruto admits it, the boy must be handed over to the lab to be traced. Second, if Naruto dodges to answer, then ... as the Fourth Hokage, you should have him leave this village,’’ Sandaime said.
Minato flinched and regained his composure.
‘’I understand. I brought him here, so I'll be in charge of Naruto. Shitsurei shimasu(Excuse me).’’ (Minato remembered)
‘’But, but, I can say this first mission is very memorable. The three of them have their own advantages. I'm so happy to be part of your team's squad dattebayo,’’ Naruto's smile displays a row of his teeth.
Minato just smiled and rubbed Naruto's hair, making the boy flinch. Without saying anything, Minato simply walked away. Naruto who saw it, somehow felt bad.

Chequek!
Kushina turned her head when she saw Minato coming. ‘’How? Have you spoken to Naruto?’’
‘’Iya, thanks to you,’’ said Minato smiling.
‘’Haa, that's because you said you wanted to discuss something important. So, I told him not to help me today dattebane. Then, what important things are you talking about with her?’’ ask Kushina.
Minato fell silent, making Kushina frown.
‘’Minato, why are you just silent?’’ ask Kushina.
‘’It's night, let's sleep,’’ smile Minato.
‘’Eh? But?’’ ask Kushina.
‘’Already, let's go to sleep. You'll have panda eyes later if you stay up,’’ taunted Minato.
Kushina puffed both cheeks. ‘’I wouldn't like that dattebane!’’
