Chapter 162 Guardian

Hokage Building.

Hokage Office.

"Kakashi cut off lightning? Interesting."

Minato raised his lips and laughed secretly at the report about Kakashi in front of him.

With Minato's intelligence, he guessed the truth in an instant.

Kakashi must have practiced Lightning Release at a high altitude, causing the Lightning Release Chakra to attract lightning and strike down.

"Fortunately, nothing happened."

Minato was completely relieved when he saw the report that Kakashi was safe and sound.

However, being physically safe does not mean that the mind is also safe.

Minato talked about Kakashi when he chatted with the Third Hokage a few days ago.

Minato thought that Kakashi could forget the pain in his heart to some extent and inserted Kakashi into the Anbu, but recently heard rumors about Kakashi's cold-bloodedness, Minato was worried that this would tear Kakashi's psychological trauma instead.

In this regard, the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen suggested that Kakashi be appointed as Kushina's bodyguard, temporarily away from the work of the Anbu, and observe the process of human beings nurturing new life, which might touch him.

Thinking of this, Minato ordered the guards hiding in the tree outside the window to summon Kakashi.

"Genjian, go and call Kakashi..."

"And Che."

Outside the window, a young man holding a thousand books immediately became serious, half squatting on the tree and replied: "Yes, Hokage."

With two whooshes, Shiranui Genjian left in an instant, much faster than ordinary ninjas.

When taking the Chunin Exam that year, Minato was impressed by Genjian's reaction speed.

Therefore, he arranged Genjian as his guard, plus Heizu Leitong and Diyiwashi.

In fact, for Minato, guards have no meaning.

It's not that Minato is invincible, but Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique is enough to allow Minato to escape from any danger.

The three so-called guards were actually the inheritors of the Flying Thunder God Technique carefully selected by Minato, and they were considered half of Minato's disciples.

Xuanjian quickly found Kakashi and Che and informed them of the news of Minato's summons.

So Kakashi and Che came to the Hokage's office.

Kakashi was wearing an Anbu suit, carrying a ninja sword, and his face was serious under the mask, while Che was wearing casual clothes, with his hands in his pockets, looking relaxed.

Minato looked up and saw the two white-haired boys in front of him in completely opposite states, and couldn't help but say: "Kakashi, you are sometimes too tense, you can learn from Che."

Kakashi looked at Che silently, only to see Che raised his eyebrows at Kakashi playfully.

Kakashi felt a little aggrieved in his heart. Obviously, he was the standard ninja style. Besides, he didn't have the strength to face the enemy easily like Che.

But in the face of Minato's words, Kakashi nodded to show his agreement.

"I'm not criticizing you, Kakashi."

Minato saw Kakashi's look, his eyes softened instantly, and then he said in an imperative tone.

"Kakashi, put down all the tasks now."

Kakashi said blankly: "Is there something wrong with me?"

"No, I have a special task for you." Minato comforted, "But this is a confidential matter."

"Kushina is pregnant."

Minato's expression softened involuntarily, and his eyes were full of love for Kushina.

Kakashi paused in surprise, and then he congratulated slowly.

"Congratulations."

Che also smiled and congratulated on the side.

"Thank you." Minato responded with a smile.

Then Minato became serious and his tone changed.

"However, the energy used by female Jinchūriki to seal during pregnancy will be transferred to the fetus in the abdomen."

"Therefore, the seal of the tailed beast will be weakened. Based on this, I would like to ask you to serve as Kushina's bodyguard and protect her for about ten months until the birth."

"Yes." Kakashi bowed his head and said yes, and the expression under the mask could not be seen.

However, there was already a wave in his tone.

Kakashi was naturally moved.

Regardless of whether Namikaze Minato wanted to heal Kakashi's heart through the birth of a new life.

The fact that Minato entrusted such an important task to himself was enough to move Kakashi.

"As for Che."

Minato turned his head and looked at Che, and Che was also mentally prepared to protect Kushina.

After all, the Nine-Tails is a double-edged sword for Konoha, and it will hurt itself if you are not careful.

"You don't need to protect Kushina all the time like Kakashi."

"I just need you as a last resort."

"After all, you are very powerful, enough to suppress the Nine-Tails."

Che agreed immediately after hearing this, and then took the initiative to say: "I can also cast a barrier for the birthing site to prevent outsiders from entering."

Minato nodded after hearing this.

"The Jinchūriki's birthing will naturally be handled by the barrier team at this time, but since it is the barrier you proposed, it must be extraordinary."

"Okay, I will inform you of the location of Kushina's birthing site in advance so that you can set up the barrier in advance."

The barrier that Che mentioned is indeed extraordinary.

To be precise, it is not the barrier of this world.

It is a special barrier technique mastered by the curse world, the tent.

The tent can exert different effects, including but not limited to restricting entry and exit, visual obstruction effects, natural camouflage, etc.

The tent is usually not used for defense, but generally to prevent the sorcerer from being seen by non-sorcerers when exorcising the cursed spirit, and to protect the non-sorcerer's mind.

But by imposing conditions on the tent, it can achieve a similar effect of defense or trapping the enemy.

And Che is going to make a tent of entrustment, which has both defensive and camouflage effects.

The tent of entrustment means that the power of the spell is placed on the spell nail, so Che needs to keep the tent running all the time.

"But I haven't used the tent for a long time. To be precise, I haven't used it since I came to this world."

"I still need to review it in advance and consolidate my domain by the way."

"Although my domain doesn't do much damage, I am still good at catching people."

Che was thinking in his heart.

In this way, Kakashi began to be responsible for Kushina's safety, lurking around Kushina at all times to protect her secretly regardless of the cold or heat.

Even if it was deep winter, Kakashi would brave the snow and hide in the streets and alleys nearby when Kushina went out shopping to protect her silently.

And Che studied the barrier technique in the gap between tasks and successfully regained the tent and domain.

However, unless there is a special situation, Che can't use these two skills, because the battle technique and ninjutsu are enough.

Unless you are guarding something.

In the previous life, perhaps it was to protect non-magicians.

In this life, he regained his power in order to protect the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha Village. In other words, he regained his power in order to protect Konoha.
