Chapter 38 - Kurama (1/2)
It's been a week since Minato came back from the mission in the Land of Stone, or rather what he preferred to call an outside world trip. He learned that he will not do another one anytime soon, with Jiraya having to go on some special ȧssignments for the war preparation.
The Sandaime proposed to him another teacher, and he specified that he will like to have somebody good at genjutsu to teach him while waiting for the return of Jiraya. Maito Dai for taijutsu training is a must, Minato was good at fuuinjutsu and ninjutsu so no trainer is needed for them with all his experience. Unfortunately, he was not really good at genjutsu, so he was fumbling around. Having somebody teach him could be a great boon.
He would have loved to have an Uchiha's trainer, for he has the Sharingan too, but he finished with a Kurama clan retired elder, not too shabby if he says so. At least, it proves that Hiruzen truly put some effort and did not send him to some random dude.
Speaking of that, from all the reincarnations stories that he read, he has it rather good. In all of them, people were hiding left and right, trying to hide from the Hokage, from Danzo, from Orochimaru, from Zetsu. But here he was nurtured by the Hokage, with those in the darkness unable to touch him. And with the Hokage having no intention to hinder his progress, on the contrary, doing all he can to help him.
'It's good to be Minato. Thanks to his attitude during the orphanage, Hiruzen already had an eye of him. Show talent coupled with his will of fire and you will be given everything'
So, here he was, in front of the Kurama clan compound, from where the Genjutsu monster Yakumo Kurama will emerge and have her potential cripple by Konoha because of the jealousy of the Genjutsu mistress.
Seeing the guards looking at him, Minato saluted them and introduced himself ”I'm Minato Namikaze”
”Oh it's you, follow me, Elder Kashio has been expecting you” Saying so, guard number one made a follow me gesture with his head and led him inside.
Looking around the compound, it was still the same style as all the others he went to. 'Well, Kishimoto was Japanese so he prioritized his country culture...Is it because of Kishimoto that this world was created or rather that he dreamed of this world? A good question indeed. Maybe somebody is writing my story? Meh, no way. Even if that was the case he would be jealous and will wish to replace me at all costs. Ehe, take that you dream stalker.'
Coughing, the guard brought Minato back to attention ”We're here”. Having done his job, he went back to guard the front gate.
Looking around the small garden courtyard, Minato decided that he should also buy a compound when he has the power to protect it, aka the power of a Fuuinjutsu master. It's good and all to buy an apartment complex, but in the end, it will not suit him for the day that he will have a family.
