Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

But it doesn't matter!

Obito is also his student, so of course he will take good care of him.

"So that's how it is!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes gleamed. "Minato, you're right. Obito is a good kid."

“Back when he was in school, he often helped elderly people on the street.”

"Although the Uchiha clan has a bad reputation, Obito's reputation is quite good."

"Like Shisui, he is an Uchiha who possesses the Will of Fire."

“Kind-hearted Uchiha like this should be properly nurtured by our village.”

"I plan to transfer Obito and Kakashi to the Anbu for proper training."

"Jade must be carved to become a useful object, right? What do you think, Minato?"

Yes.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was genuinely interested.

That's understandable!

After all, this is the Mangekyou Sharingan, the ultimate power of the Uchiha clan.

As a Hokage who values ​​power immensely, Hiruzen Sarutobi was naturally unwilling to give it up easily.

He is confident.

If Obito is brought to the Anbu, it won't take long to mold him into my own image.

He even started to regret it a little.

The reason Obito was placed in Minato's team was simply to appease the Uchiha clan, and because Obito was relatively simple and kind, he was easier to control.

If he had known that this guy had the potential to unlock the Kaleidoscope, how could he have been willing to hand him over to Minato Namikaze?

After all, it's Minato Namikaze.

To Hiruzen Sarutobi, he was merely a puppet he was training.

Although they wanted Minato to become Hokage, they did not want him to wield too much power.

therefore.

He naturally couldn't bear to hand over a kaleidoscope like Obito's to Minato.

Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to try and see if he can trick someone into getting his hands on it.

As for Kakashi...

That was just an extra.

On one hand, it was to cultivate a bond with Obito, and on the other hand, it was also a convenient way to win over Hatake Sakumo's former supporters.

see it?

I've already transferred Kakashi to the Anbu!

What is the Dark Division?

The Hokage's true confidant, and also the department with the greatest authority among Konoha's many departments.

With so many benefits, Hiruzen Sarutobi was naturally tempted.

Especially considering...

There's already some lingering resentment between him and Minato.

and so.

He certainly hoped to poach all the promising people around Minato Namikaze.

As for Minato Namikaze...

Just be content to be a puppet Hokage; you shouldn't dabble in things like power.

It's just a pity.

If it were the old Minato Namikaze, he probably wouldn't have thought twice and would have agreed immediately.

After all, they had entered the shadows.

For his disciples, this is also a good place to belong.

Basically, as long as they don't die young, ninjas from the Anbu (Anbu) can at least become mid-level leaders in their villages in the future.

Minato Namikaze was kind-hearted and would never hinder his disciples' progress.

But not now!

Having fully grasped the darkness within the village, Minato would never send his disciples into the Dark Side.

after all.

The current Hokage Anbu is led by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

· ········Requesting flowers····· ······

Given the current state of darkness in the village, who knows what fate awaits my disciples in the future?

Entering the shadows is possible!

Once I become Hokage, there will naturally be many more opportunities like this.

and so.

There's no need to rush.

Having thought of this, I didn't hesitate.

Minato Namikaze immediately shook his head, rejecting the offer outright.

"Lord Hokage, I'm so sorry!"

"Although what you said makes a lot of sense, I also hope that those disciples can grow into pillars of the village."

"But not now."

"They are still too young. Let's wait until they grow up a few more years."

"After all, missions involving contact with the secret service are still too dangerous for them."

"As my own disciples, I naturally have some selfish motives; I don't want them to die young!"

.... ...... ...

"So, that..."

"I hope that the Hokage can forgive us a little."

Minato Namikaze spoke humbly.

after all.

Even if you feel contempt for him, he is still the Hokage.

Although he was a direct descendant of the Hokage and his master was Jiraiya, he himself was only a Jonin.

So, there's no other way!

Before truly seizing power, he still had to choose to lie low.

Even if one wants to change the village, one must wait until becoming Hokage and having a sense of righteousness before one can slowly plan ahead.

As for now, it's time to calm down.

Wait!

Use stillness to control movement, and remain unchanged to respond to all changes.

At most, you can make more friends, win over more supporters, and cultivate more confidants.

Anyway, it's Naruto.

You don't need to do anything yourself, you can just wait.

For the sake of his own power, Hiruzen Sarutobi would naturally send him to become Hokage.

"Oh, I see." Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes slightly. "What you said makes sense. Let's talk about it later."

"It's getting late tonight, Minato, you should go home and get some rest too."

"I'm tired too!"

"The negotiations with Iwagakure were already exhausting, and then the Uchiha clan started causing trouble."

"We finally managed to deal with the Uchiha, and now Danzo is causing trouble again."

"Seriously!"

"I'm really getting old!"

"The future of the village belongs to you young people."

"Someone as old as me really can't take it anymore."
