"Ming, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation instead of letting you deceive me again."
As soon as Hatake Akira finished speaking, Namikaze Minato frowned, and his eyes flashed with loss, disappointment, gloom, and other colors.
"Whether it is true or not, you will know it once you try it, teacher."
Hatake Akira immediately got into the mood, and at a glance, he did have some of the qualities of a charlatan.
Of course, Hatake Akira's current age is a flaw, and he looks like a charlatan no matter how you look at him.
However, if one day Hatake Akira gets old and loses his job, holding a flag and going to the streets to tell fortunes would be an excellent way to make a living.
"How do you want to prove it?"
Minato Namikaze decided to give Hatake Akira a chance. After all, Hatake Akira was the person he truly cared about and the disciple he once truly recognized.
"It's very simple. I will predict something that will happen soon or has just happened, and then I will trouble Minato-sensei to investigate it. Whether it is true or false will be clear."
Hatake Akira put three copper coins into the tortoise shell, blocked the openings at both ends of the tortoise shell with his hands, and shook his arms, and the sound of the copper coins colliding was endless.
This lasted for three seconds, then Hatake Akira released his right hand, and all the copper coins in the tortoise shell fell to the ground, immediately forming a hexagram.
After a glance, Hatake Akira was mumbling some nouns that Minato Namikaze could not understand. If he listened carefully, Minato Namikaze could understand some of the words.
But when these words are put together, Minato Namikaze becomes blind.
"Teacher, the cat kept by the wife and daughter of the rich businessman in the village has run away again. The cat is hiding in the third tree to the left of the middle of the fifth row on the east side of the eighth training ground."
"I hope you didn't lie to me."
Minato Namikaze looked deeply at Hatake Akira, then disappeared from the spot in a flash.
"I'm not lying to you. I'm really too lazy to calculate such trivial matters."
After Minato Namikaze left, Hatake Akira whispered.
Ming Shiyin, the support hero in Honor of Kings, has a really strong ability in divination. At least when it comes to small matters like this, he is always right.
Even if the wife and daughter of the rich businessman who lost the cat did not come in person, as long as Akira Hatake had some information about them, he could easily figure it out.
After all, when Team 8 was carrying out Genin missions, they often went to find cats for the wives and daughters of wealthy businessmen.
After a while, Minato Namikaze came back with a strange look on his face, with a few cat hairs hanging on his arms.
"I found the cat at the location you mentioned. It is indeed the cat we were looking for when we were carrying out the Genin mission before." Namikaze Minato's tone was much better, "But I always feel that this kind of thing..."
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, we can just try again."
Hatake Akira didn't expect Minato Namikaze to believe it at once. This kind of thing would require anyone to try it over and over again before they would be convinced.
Following the same method, after shaking for three seconds, Hatake Akira finished another divination.
"Teacher, we are cleaning the upper reaches of the river this morning. In five minutes, a child will fall into the water. Although his life is not in danger, your presence will save him some suffering."
This time, Minato Namikaze did not hesitate and disappeared in front of Hatake Akira again.
Six minutes later, Namikaze Minato came back again, with an even more strange look on his face, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes as he looked at Hatake Akira.
In order to verify the truth of what Hatake Akira said, Namikaze Minato deliberately hid after arriving at the location. When he saw the child fall into the water, he did not rescue him immediately, but waited anxiously and patiently for a moment.
The result was naturally as expected, the child who fell into the water was rescued, but he also developed a fear of water.
If I take action myself, will I...
Just when Minato Namikaze was thinking about something, Hatake Akira spoke.
"Teacher, you didn't interfere, did you?"
Hatake Akira was confident, "Are you thinking, if you intervene, will everything be different?"
Like a charlatan, Hatake Akira almost stroked his beard as he spoke, "You are just like me before. After knowing the results of some things, you always hesitate whether to change them or not."
"Is change... really that easy?" Namikaze Minato said in a low voice, "Can the predetermined trajectory of fate really be predicted and changed in advance through divination?"
"Yes!" Hatake Akira said with absolute certainty, "After making every possible calculation, human power can overcome nature. It's just a matter of changing one's own destiny. It's really easy."
"What if I say I don't believe it?" Namikaze Minato raised his eyebrows.
In fact, Minato Namikaze had already believed it, and he said this just out of anger or because he wanted to confirm it again.
Hatake Akira didn't say anything, but instead made another divination.
"Teacher, take three steps forward and look up at the sky for half a minute."
"Are you blaming me again?" Namikaze Minato immediately frowned, and thought of the time when Hatake Akira was plotting against him. He was still very unhappy.
"Since you still don't believe it, then I will naturally make you believe it." Hatake Akira smiled, but there was a hint of mischief in his smile.
Minato Namikaze didn't say anything else, but took three steps forward according to Hatake Akira's instructions, then looked up at the sky.
Half a minute later, a bird flew by and some sticky, slightly smelly excrement fell from the sky.
pat.
Feeling the coolness and soft touch on his face, Minato Namikaze was stunned. He reached out and touched it in disbelief, and finally looked at Hatake Akira with red eyes.
"bright!"
"Ahem, teacher, don't be anxious..." Hatake Akira hurriedly comforted Minato Namikaze who was about to get furious.
"Teacher, this bird's droppings shouldn't affect anyone, but after I found out about it, I pinned this matter that has nothing to do with you on your head. Once you do what I told you, the established facts will change."
"It's a small matter, but I have the ability to predict it. As long as I predict it and make all preparations in advance, everything will develop as I expected."
Hatake Akira's last words stunned Minato Namikaze for two full minutes. When he finally came to his senses, there was already apology in his eyes.
"Ming, I shouldn't have doubted you."
"Teacher, I actually didn't predict what happened today." Hatake Akira answered irrelevantly, "The unpredictable future is like the changes in people's hearts. You never know when an accident will happen."
"So, teachers don't need to blame themselves. What we need to do is to make the best possible preparations to deal with any unexpected changes that may occur in the future."
"Why don't you just say you don't care, or forgive me?"
Minato Namikaze was speechless at Hatake Akira's long speech. Hatake Akira had to make something extremely mysterious out of something that could have been just a sentence.
"Understand, this is what charlatans are like."
"..."
Namikaze Minato lost his temper, but then he remembered something. He approached Hatake Akira mysteriously and whispered in his ear.
"Ming, please help me predict when your master's wife and I will get married, when we will have a child, and whether the child will be a boy or a girl.
If it's a boy, will he be like me or your master's wife? If it's a girl, will her personality be like me or your master's wife?
Or in other words, my future child, in terms of appearance, personality, and talent, will be more like me or more like your master's wife."
Good guy!
She is really worthy of being called Yongdaimei!
After listening to Minato Namikaze's series of tongue-twisting questions, Akira Hatake felt a little confused and hurriedly took out the speech he had prepared in advance.
Chapter 79: The major weakness of the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Hatake Akira knew exactly what would happen to Minato Namikaze and Kushina in the future.
Although the future timeline is confusing because of his existence, many established facts cannot be changed.
Namikaze Minato will definitely marry Uzumaki Kushina, and their child will definitely be the reincarnation of Ashura, and the child's name will probably be Uzumaki Naruto.
After making a divination very casually, Hatake Akira pondered for a moment and said two ambiguous sentences.
"Teacher, your marriage to Master Kushina is very happy. The child is a boy. As for who he looks more like, it is impossible to tell."
"Is that so?" Namikaze Minato nodded with a smile. The happiness and longing on his face made Hatake Akira feel jealous.
"Ming, can you tell me what Konoha will look like in the future according to your predictions? And what will I look like?"
After a brief absence, Namikaze Minato returned to the topic. He was very curious about what role he would play in the future of Konoha according to Hatake Akira's "divination".
"You will be the Yondaime Hokage of Konoha in the future, but your situation is not satisfactory, and you can even say it is very frustrating."
Akira Hatake only planned to tell half of it. Many things will not only lose their mystery after being said too much, but the more they are said, the more loopholes there will be.
Divination is something that is always vague and unclear. If you explain it in too much detail, there is a chance that Minato Namikaze will become suspicious again.
"And then?" Namikaze Minato was a little anxious about Hatake Akira's half-answered attitude.
This is human nature. After all, everyone wants to be foreseeable and predict the future results that are within their reach.
"Teacher, you need to know that even if I can calculate many things, the results can only be known by me."
"Why?" Namikaze Minato couldn't understand.
"Because the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, and because the more people know about it, the more turbulence in the future will be." Hatake Akira gave a very sufficient reason, "and predicting the future also requires me to pay a certain price."
"The price?!" Namikaze Minato's eyes widened, and he looked up and down at Hatake Akira's body with concern. "What is the price? Is your life in danger? Will it cause irreversible damage to your body?"
Minato Namikaze's rapid-fire questions made Hatake Akira feel warm in his heart.
"It will just reduce some life expectancy, which is not a big price to pay."
"Not a big deal?!" Namikaze Minato said in a somewhat high voice, "You think the life span issue is a small matter?"
"Teacher, it's nothing more than living two years less. I'm still young and it won't be a problem at all." Hatake Akira pretended to be indifferent and waved his hands at Minato Namikaze heartlessly.
"Try to use your divination ability as little as possible in the future." Namikaze Minato finally said what Hatake Akira expected, and Namikaze Minato felt somewhat guilty at this time.
"If I had known that divination would cost you so much, I would not have said anything just now..."
"Teacher, don't worry too much. I will definitely use my divination ability less often in the future, and I will never use it unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Well, if you say that, I feel relieved."
Minato Namikaze nodded, and after the misunderstanding between the two was resolved, he returned to his previous attitude towards Hatake Akira.
"I'll let you off for plotting against me. Also, I'll ask Master Jiraiya to help Kakashi contract with the Toad Clan of Myoboku Mountain as a summoning beast. The chances of success are very high."
"Thank you, teacher."
"Don't thank me yet. Although the probability is very high, I can't guarantee 100% success. Everything still depends on Lord Jiraiya." Namikaze Minato was worried that he was speaking too confidently, so he quickly gave Hatake Akira a shot of prevention.
"I know." Hatake Akira nodded, "Teacher, just do your best. If it doesn't work, there's still me."
"You... you are really becoming more and more difficult for me to understand."
