Chapter 505: I’ll Take Care of Everything
Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 505 I'll Take Care of Everything
"Is it that serious?"
Minato simply responded, but he still didn't completely let go and talked to Hatake Sakumo about the Hokage topic.
After all, the war was not completely over. During this period of time, he was in Mt. Myoboku and had no idea what the outside world had become, so there was no way to explore such things in depth. Faced with Hatake Sakumo's heartfelt true feelings, he could only focus on listening.
However...
Minato also silently judged in his heart.
It was not that he had never heard Hatake Sakumo say this before. When he chatted with Aoba on the Hokage Rock, Aoba had said something similar.
Compared to Hatake Sakumo, Minato was more willing to believe in Aoba. Even he himself could not say why. He just felt that Aoba would not harm him.
"Because of this Third Ninja World War, your sudden rise will inevitably fall into the eyes of Konohagakure's higher-ups. At the moment, some people hope that Konohagakure's regime will be replaced, and some people do not want Konohagakure's regime to be turbulent. But no matter if it is those people, their attention will be focused on you. The moment you return to Konohagakure, you will directly be involved in the fight for Konohagakure's rights."
Hatake Sakumo remind Minato of what he was worried about. He had experienced such things before. He could be said to be an experienced person. The feeling of being sandwiched by multiple parties was like being used as a gun by many people. It was for this reason that he especially ran over and said these words to Minato.
He truly didn't want Minato to make the same mistake he did.
However.
He could see it.
Minato had not completely trusted him!
"Sakumo-sama, I don't know if you can believe me when I say this, but I can say responsibly that I have no intention of getting involved in any power struggle. If I want to become Hokage, I also want to be Hokage in an upright manner. Moreover, my purpose in becoming the Hokage is to make Konohagakure better. If this process makes Konohagakure worse, then everything is meaningless." Minato shook his head and said. After all, he was still young, and his imagination about the Hokage position was still in the dream stage.
"Minato, maybe no matter what I say now, you won't give a direct response. But I still have to remind you that you must be careful after returning to Konohagakure, especially Sandaime-sama, and I support you in becoming the Fourth Hokage. You understand these two points are enough. I won't say anything else." After saying these words, Hatake Sakumo directly stood up and walked toward Konohagakure's ninjas. Right now, Konohagakure's ninjas were busy dealing with the corpses. There were also many of Sunagakure's corpses that were valuable. He immediately stood up to help.
After Hatake Sakumo left.
Minato did not leave.
Instead, he quietly sat in his original position and stared at Hatake Sakumo's back while in deep thought.
"What happened?"
After seeing Hatake Sakumo leave, Kushina immediately walked over and came to Minato's side, staring straight at Minato. She faintly felt an abnormal fluctuation in Minato's emotions.
"It's a long story." Minato shook his head helplessly.
"If it's a long story, just make it short." After smiling at Minato, Kushina sat directly next to him, where Hatake Sakumo was sitting.
"Sigh..."
Minato slowly sighed and looked at Kushina.
"It's not about the battlefield."
"Sakumo-sama suddenly came over and told me that he supported me in becoming the Fourth Hokage."
"He also told me to be careful of Sandaime-sama."
"I don't know what his purpose is."
"That's why I don't dare to answer him."
Minato used a very simple word to tell Kushina about Sakumo's purpose in looking for him. He really had nothing to hide from Kushina. After all, she was his closest person.
"Why did Sakumo-sama suddenly tell you this?" When Kushina heard this, she was stunned for a moment and a little confused about what was going on.
"I'm not very sure either. According to Sakumo-sama, I was very similar to him in the past." Minato said in a low voice while pinching his chin.
"I understand." Kushina nodded and said, "Sakumo-sama must have established some prestige during the Second Ninja World War, but he was treated unfairly, so he specifically came to remind you."
"But... should I believe him?" Minato was still thinking. Right now, he was indeed a little confused. He had not returned for a long time. He had just come back and participated in two battles, and Hatake Sakumo had come to say these things. This made him not dare to believe him.
"We can't not believe it, nor can we believe it completely. Everyone has their own purpose in doing things. Right now, we still don't know what Sakumo-sama's goal is, so there is no way to completely determine what he wants to do!" Kushina said in a low voice. She was completely on Minato's side, so the suggestions she gave were all based on what was beneficial to Minato.
"I think so too." Minato nodded and said, "Since Sakumo-sama has taken the initiative to look for me, it means that my current situation is not as good as I imagined. I not only have to guard against the village higher-ups, but I also have to guard against Sakumo-sama until I see what is really going on."
"Yes, let's look at it from another angle..."
Kushina began to analyze quickly. She was still relatively smart, and this problem was not that difficult.
"There are only two results for this problem. One is that what Sakumo-sama said is true, and the other is that what Sakumo-sama said is false."
"Let's analyze it separately..."
"If what Sakumo-sama said is true, then we have to be careful of Sandaime-sama. And also, Sakumo-sama may have failed to become the Fourth Hokage for some reason."
"But if what Sakumo-sama said is false, then it is possible that Sakumo-sama wants to use you as a gun to cause conflict between you and Sandaime. It is best to use you to force Sandaime-sama to lose the Hokage position and you are not qualified to inherit the Hokage position, as a result, Sakumo-sama will become the Hokage."
"So..."
"I think you are right!"
"Not only do we have to guard against Sandaime-sama, we also have to guard against Sakumo-sama!"
"Most importantly..."
"It's best if we don't take the initiative to do anything. When we return to Konohagakure, we should wait and see. It's best if we can find someone we trust and understand what has happened recently..."
After Kushina said this, she suddenly stopped. She widened her eyes and looked at Minato.
The moment they looked at each other, they could see the same meaning in each other's eyes.
"Yamanaka Aoba!"
"Yamanaka Aoba!"
Minato and Kushina said the same name almost at the same time. Now, the person they trusted the most was Aoba.
In addition to Aoba, Minato had many good friends in Konohagakure. However, it had to be said that the ninjas of the same age like Nara Shikaku were all on Hiruzen's side. If they talked about Hiruzen, they might end up being backstabbed. After all, most of them were loyal to Hiruzen. The person Kushina had a good relationship with was the Uchiha Mikoto. However, in the political field in Konohagakure, the Uchiha clan had never been a good existence to refer to.
So almost the same time, Minato and Kushina thought of Aoba together.
Aoba's identity was even simpler.
Although he was a ninja of the Yamanaka clan in name, he was not valued and had nothing to do with Hiruzen.
As for Hatake Sakumo's side.
Aoba might not know Hatake Sakumo.
No matter which angle one looked at it from.
Aoba was relatively the one with no background, and his relationship with Minato was good and belonged to the trustworthy one.
All of a sudden.
Minato and Kushina reached an agreement.
Of course.
Aoba had a relatively high position in the hearts of these two people. One of the very important reasons was that Aoba reminded them to go to Mt. Myoboku to practice senjutsu.
They did not know where Aoba heard this from.
However, Aoba's suggestion made the two of them undergo a complete transformation.
This made Aoba more trustworthy!
At least Minato and Kushina understood that Aoba would not harm them, otherwise, there would be no need to take the initiative to help them become stronger.
"I understand what to do!"
Minato and Kushina looked at each other. There was a huge tacit understanding between them now. Many things did not need them to speak completely, and the other party could already guess more than half of it.
"At this stage, I will still focus on Kumogakure's ninja army to help Konohagakure get through this difficult stage. After returning to Konohagakure, I will go talk to Aoba. Maybe I can find a way in his suggestion!"
Minato slowly said.
He trusted Aoba very much. In addition to Aoba's own brain, he agreed very much.
Before the beginning of the Third Ninja World War, Minato had discussed something similar with Aoba on the Hokage Rock. At that time, many of Aoba's views seemed very novel to him. It was completely beyond his expectations, but he felt that it was very reasonable.
Because of this.
Regarding Aoba's point of view.
Minato still approved of it very much.
"I think it's possible." Kushina immediately nodded. Her thoughts were similar to Minato's, and she felt that Aoba was a reliable person.
"But..."
"I want to say..."
"Minato."
"You don't have to worry too much about Kumogakure's ninja army!"
"I still have my trump card that I haven't revealed yet!"
"If it really doesn't work..."
"I can take action too!"
Kushina grinned at Minato, her smile shining with a brilliant light. Her brows were filled with strong confidence. Ever since she started practicing in Mt. Myoboku, it was like she had opened up a new world. She was very confident in her own combat power and could do many things that could help Minato.
"No need."
Minato shook his head without hesitation. He raised his right hand and gently stroked Kushina's red hair. His movements were very gentle, and his blue eyes revealed a gentle warmth.
"I know that you are strong, and you still have trump cards, but I hope that there will never be a day when you reveal them!"
Minato's voice was gentle, no different from the love words spoken between lovers.
So.
When these words fell into Kushina's ears.
It made her heart tremble and a warm current surged from her heart.
Her eyes suddenly turned red.
This voice sounded very gentle, and it was also a firm promise given by Minato. This made Kushina suddenly think of that moonlit night, and she felt a strong sense of happiness wrapped around her.
"I'll take care of everything."
Minato's palm once again stroked Kushina's red hair. His movements were very light and slow. It could be seen that he cherished this girl very much. Under Minato's movements, Kushina's cheeks were slightly red, and she revealed a shy look.
