When the banquet was coming to an end, Minato walked to the corner of the courtyard with a wine glass in his hand, and gently patted Yūto who was studying the universe. "Can you take a step to talk?"
Yūto took back his thoughts and followed Minato to the backyard.
Minato got straight to the point. "I would like to ask you to be Anbu Captain."
"Me?!"
This proposal was so sudden that Yūto subconsciously asked, "Why me?"
Minato said in a solemn tone, "In terms of strength, your record of defeating two Jinchūrikis alone is unmatched. In terms of consciousness, your behavior of cherishing your companions is Will of Fire."
He paused and smiled, "If you weren't still young, Hokage Position probably wouldn't have had my turn."
After Minato finished speaking, Yūto fell into deep thought.
In the original work, during the Nine-Tails rebellion, ANBU was useless in front of Masked Man.
If he becomes Anbu Captain, it will not only strengthen the alert system, but also arrange defense against Space-Time Ninjutsu in advance.
Maybe it can change the fate of Minato couple.
At the same time, Madara's figure emerged in Yūto's mind.
With the Minato couple with full combat power, they have a three-point chance of winning against that old guy.
"I accept." Yūto raised his head and spoke solemnly, "I will repay this trust with actions."
Minato smiled with relief, "Please take care of me in the future."
When the two returned to the main hall, Yūto suddenly caught a glimpse of Mikoto pulling Tsukimi to talk.
The tips of Tsukimi's ears were red, and he stuttered as he answered every question from Mikoto.
Every time Mikoto asks something about Pakura, Tsukimi shrinks back.
It was really hard for her.
Yūto felt pity in his heart.
I have to make it up to this girl tonight.
He was about to step forward to rescue him, but found that Tsunade had left the table at some point.
Yūto Vision Deterioration caused by excessive use of Mangekyō has been known to Tsunade.
He didn't know whether Nonō informed him of this matter, or whether Tsunade discovered it on his own.
During this period, Tsunade will always mix Potion with Laboratory, both before and after exercise.
A few days later, Yūto looked pale and walked into Hokage Building from Earth Flow.
He rubbed his sore waist and sighed silently.
Forget about Tsunade and Pakura, even Tsukimi followed suit...
As soon as I reached the stairs, I bumped into Genma Shiranui holding Senbon in his mouth.
"Oh, senior Yūto, why are you here?" Genma saw Yūto's face and couldn't help but ask, "You look so bad. Did you not sleep well last night?"
Yūto twitched the corner of his mouth. He must not talk about being squeezed dry. It was too embarrassing.
He laughed dryly, "Ahem, I have a lot of tasks recently."
In order to prevent Genma from continuing to ask questions, he instead asked, "What about you, why are you here Hokage Building?"
Hearing this, Genma puffed up his chest proudly, "Because I was selected by Lord Minato and became Hokage's guard."
Seeing the stinking look on his face, Yūto couldn't help complaining, "Guard? Aren't you just looking after the gate?"
"Hey!" Genma's hair exploded instantly, and Senbon almost fell to the ground, "I am responsible for Lord Hokage's safety! The responsibility is important!"
Yūto complained silently in his heart, just Genma and Chunin, if we are really in danger, I'm afraid even Minato's Flying Thunder God can't keep up...
At that time, I don't know who is protecting whom.
But he still said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, you are awesome."
After saying that, Yūto shook his head and opened Hokage's Office's door.
Minato was immersed in reviewing documents. When he heard the noise, he looked up and saw it was Yūto. He immediately showed a gentle smile, "Yūto, you are here."
Yūto thought to himself that Minato probably came to him because of ANBU's matter. Minato had entrusted him with the position of Anbu Captain at the previous banquet.
However, Minato's next words stunned him.
"Actually, I came to you this time to ask you for a favor." Minato scratched his head in embarrassment, "Land of Snow sent a distress letter over there, hoping that Konoha would send someone to rescue."
Land of Snow?
Yūto frowned and recalled the plot of the original work.
Didn't Kakashi rescue Kazahana Koyuki in the original novel? How did you find him?
"Why me?" Yūto asked directly, "Logically, this kind of task should be given to the Jonin team, right?"
Minato sighed, his expression even more embarrassing. "The village... has no money now."
Yūto:"?"
Minato explained helplessly, "The war has just ended, the village's finances are tight, and it is temporarily unable to provide enough compensation to Blond Hair to issue formal tasks. And ANBU team members all receive fixed salaries, so..."
Yūto's mouth twitched, he understood, Minato wanted to use his labor force for free!
No wonder in the original book, Kakashi and the others did a lot of tasks but were extremely poor. It turned out to be because the work they did during ANBU was not paid.
Minato saw that his expression was wrong, and quickly added, "Of course, I owe you this time, and I will make up for it in the future!"
I started drawing as soon as I became Hokage, and I am worthy of being Minato...
But Yūto then thought about it, Land of Snow might be able to get some benefits there, and Kazahana Koyuki in the original work is a potential stock, and he can make money in movies in the future.
Of course, the most important thing is Land of Snow's geothermal technology. Being able to utilize Chakra to this extent, Kazahana Sōsetsu's research and development capabilities should not be underestimated.
"Okay, I'll go." Yūto reluctantly agreed, "But next time something like this happens, remember to tell it in advance."
Minato breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly, "Thank you very much, Yūto!"
