Anbu Selection

Kushina Uzumaki's words were tactful, but her meaning was very clear: she hoped Minato Namikaze would become the Fourth Hokage.

As soon as Kushina Uzumaki finished speaking, Uchiha Yue wanted to tell her that in the original story, Kushina Uzumaki Minato Namikaze the one who inherited the position of Fourth Hokage. However, since Uchiha Yue arrived in the Shinobi World, too many butterfly effects had occurred. Therefore, Uchiha Yue couldn't be certain that Minato Namikaze would be the future Fourth Hokage. After all, Orochimaru's reputation was currently at its peak, and Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze certainly couldn't be the first to inherit the position.

After a moment's thought, Uchiha Yue replied with a smile, "Kushina, isn't it a bit premature for us to discuss these things?"

Looking at Kushina Uzumaki before him, Uchiha Yue continued, "Even if the Third Hokage intended to abdicate, the situation within the village simply wouldn't allow it. Think about it, if Lord Orochimaru were to become Hokage, could he control the village's Council of Elders? Danzo Elder Mito Elder Haru, could Orochimaru possibly control Elder Lord Orochimaru? Therefore, even if the Third Hokage were to abdicate, it would only be after the village elders have stepped down."

"Therefore, even if Minato- kun really can't become Hokage, it's still possible for him to take Lord Jiraiya's place."

"Hmm, Yue, I may not fully understand what you're saying, but it certainly makes sense."

Clearly, Kushina Uzumaki wasn't someone who understood politics, so she didn't quite grasp the meaning behind Uchiha Yue's words. However, she did understand Uchiha Yue's attitude: he strongly supported Minato Namikaze becoming Uchiha Yue, and that was enough. Even Kushina Uzumaki was unfamiliar with politics Hokage, knew very well that if Uchiha Yue hadn't died before reaching full maturity, he would undoubtedly have become the most powerful person in Konoha.

According to Kushina Uzumaki's understanding, Uchiha Yue was destined to succeed Tsunade and would undoubtedly become a rising star in Konoha. Furthermore, as a member of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Yue might not even be aware of his influence within the Uchiha Clan. Therefore, Kushina Uzumaki previously felt that if Uchiha Yue supported Minato Namikaze would be fully qualified to contend for the Hokage position in a few years, prompting her to ask Uchiha Yue who he actually supported.

Immediately afterwards...

After Kushina Uzumaki took a deep breath, her gaze fell on Uchiha Yue in front of her, and she said quite seriously, "Yue, we are very good friends, so there are some things I don't want to hide from you. My dream is to become Hokage, but I know how difficult it is for me to become Hokage with my personality. However, Minato is different from me. He is someone who has the ability to become Hokage and lead our Konoha forward. I hope that if Minato has the opportunity to become Hokage, you can help him, okay?"

"Kushina, even if you don't, I'll definitely support you!"

Upon hearing Kushina Uzumaki's confession, Uchiha Yue couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, thinking that Minato Namikaze had truly found a good wife.

Few people are as considerate of their boyfriend as Kushina Uzumaki.

Furthermore, in Uchiha Yue's view of love, love is not about one-sided taking, nor is it a fairy tale woven from beauty and romance. True love should be like that of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, a natural cycle of giving and receiving. Now, the fact that Kushina Uzumaki is seeking Uchiha Yue's help for Minato Namikaze Kushina Uzumaki is enough to prove her feelings.

Then, Kushina Uzumaki received a reply from Uchiha Yue, and was naturally overjoyed.

However, when Kushina Uzumaki suddenly thought of another important matter, her gaze turned serious, and she slowly said, "Tsuki, Minato and I are actually quite aware of some of the troubles around you. Especially after seeing Hizashi's injuries, we deduced that someone is plotting against you. So, are you planning to run for Anbu? After all, our village's Anbu suffered heavy casualties this time, and as someone about to become Chunin, you have a very good chance of competing for Anbu qualifications."

"That's right, Kushina, I am indeed preparing to run for the Anbu."

As soon as Kushina Uzumaki finished speaking, Uchiha Yue answered truthfully, "I plan to run for Anbu. After successfully becoming Anbu, I will serve my master. Of course, my real purpose in becoming Anbu is to hide in the village. There are too many people who want to harm me. Those guys from Kumogakure and Iwagakure almost killed me this time. I must not be careless in the future!"

"Sigh, I knew you'd choose Lady Tsunade over Jiraiya- sensei."

Just as Uchiha Yue arrived, Kushina Uzumaki sighed and said, "Yue, if you had chosen Jiraiya- sensei, we could have continued our missions together. Now that you're choosing Lady Tsunade, it will be a little difficult for us to work together. So, even if you do become Anbu, don't forget about us!"

Then, a mysterious smile appeared on Kushina Uzumaki's lips, and she said, "And, Yue, if you can treat Minato and me to dinner, I have a gift for you!"

"Okay, then bring the gift!"

There was no need for formalities with Kushina Uzumaki Uchiha Yue; he immediately asked Kushina Uzumaki for a gift.

Kushina Uzumaki didn't disappoint Uchiha Yue. After Uchiha Yue answered, Kushina Uzumaki took out an information scroll and placed it in front of him, smiling, "Tsukito, becoming Anbu isn't that simple. Even if you have Chunin -level strength, you still need to pass the Anbu selection. This information scroll is something I stole from Uchiha Yue Jiraiya! Did you know? Jiraiya- sensei is the chief examiner for the Anbu! So, what's recorded on this scroll is the process for becoming Anbu!"

Kushina Uzumaki paused for a moment, then continued, "Moon, you have a few months to prepare for the Anbu election. Use this time to familiarize yourself with the Anbu election process! The Anbu election is much more difficult than the Chunin Ninja Exams. After all, those capable of running for Anbu are the elite of our village. So, you must be well-prepared and don't take any chances, understand?"

"Thank you, Kushina!"

Holding the information scroll given to him by Kushina Uzumaki, Uchiha Yue smiled and nodded.

Immediately after Kushina Uzumaki left, Uchiha Yue prepared to carefully observe the process of the Anbu election.

Because Kushina Uzumaki's scroll containing information about the Anbu election process was extremely important to Uchiha Yue.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle!"
