Along the way, Senju Chen ignored the eyes of outsiders.
"The teacher's train of thought has reached a dead end." Senju Chen silently reviewed the conversation just now in his mind.
His extremely smart teacher could see through Danzo's conspiracy and understand the weaknesses of human nature, but he could only fail to see himself. He was immersed in the pursuit of "truth", and Hokage Position He regards it as something in his pocket, as a "tool" that can help him realize his ideal, but completely ignores that the word "Hokage" itself carries the trust of the villagers and the inheritance of Will of Fire.
Teacher Orochimaru's theory is too advanced and too terrifying. In the eyes of ordinary villagers and senior officials, it is not gospel, but taboo and evil.
And there is a person who will not let his teacher become Hokage so easily.
Shimura Danzō.
This old silver coin will definitely secretly "get rid of" his biggest competitor, his teacher.
And if this old guy, whose hands are stained with blood, who only uses conspiracy and sacrificing his companions to achieve his goals, is allowed to become Hokage, Konoha will only fall from one Uzumaki into another, darker abyss.
Then there is Minato Namikaze.
He is young, has outstanding achievements, has a sunny image, is deeply loved by the people, and is a direct descendant of Third Hokage. The orthodox Fourth Hokage in the original work.
In fact, from any angle, he is the most perfect successor.
There is no doubt about the strength of Brother Minato, Flying Thunder God Technique is the best of Shinobi World. But is his political skills really enough to suppress an old fox like Danzo and balance the intricate family forces in the village?
In the original work, Minato Namikaze only became Hokage for one year before passing away. If I changed his fate and prevented Minato Namikaze from becoming Hokage, could he no longer have such a tragedy and live happily with Kushina and the future protagonist Naruto?
This visit is more than just a reminiscence between friends.
It's more of a... close observation and evaluation.
"Chen, what are you doing? We're here!" Anko's voice pulled him out of his thoughts.
Senju Chen looked up and saw that the two of them were standing in front of an elegantly decorated Japanese confectionery shop. The three words "Amaguriama" were written in elegant fonts on the door curtain.
After buying the beautifully packaged chestnut yokan and a box of her favorite three-color meatballs on Anko's strong recommendation, the two of them headed towards their goal Earth Flow with satisfaction.
Minato Namikaze's home is located in a relatively quiet residential area of the village.
Senju Chen came here once when Minato Namikaze and Kushina got married.
There were several men's ninja uniforms and women's casual clothes hanging to dry in the yard, and there were also several practice targets piled in the corner, which were covered with scratches left by Kunai.
Everything is full of life.
"Dong dong dong."
Senju Chen raised his hand and knocked lightly on the simple wooden door three times.
Almost as soon as the knock on the door fell, there was a burst of slightly hasty footsteps inside the door, accompanied by a clear and somewhat bleating female voice.
"Come on, come on! Who is it? Really!"
With a "squeak" sound, the door was suddenly opened.
A head of fiery red hair first came into view, like the hottest flame. Kushina Uzumaki was wearing simple home clothes, an apron tied around his waist, and a broom in his hand, with a hint of impatience at being interrupted by visitors.
However, when she saw the two people standing outside the door, the impatience on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by a complex expression of shock, disbelief, and huge surprise.
The broom in her hand fell to the ground with a clang, her beautiful Shira blue eyes widened, staring at Senju Chen, her mouth opened slightly, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
"Sister Kushina, I'm back." Senju Chen had a gentle smile on his face and shook the beautifully packaged Japanese confectionery in his hand.
"Chen...Little Chen?!"
The next second, a scream with extremely high decibels resounded throughout the entire yard. Kushina rushed out like a whirlwind, completely ignoring Anko next to him, and opened his arms to give Senju Chen a bear hug that was so solid that it almost left him breathless.
"You brat!" Her voice was filled with a thick nasal sound and uncontrollable excitement. "You didn't even say hello when you left! There wasn't even a letter! Do you know how worried everyone is about you? Do you still have me as your sister in your heart, huh?!"
As she spoke, she hit Senju Chen on the back with her fists, not so much to blame, but to vent her excitement and worries about meeting again after a long separation.
"Sorry, sorry, Sister Kushina." Senju Chen let her hold him, with a helpless and doting smile on his face, "Isn't this because I'm afraid that you and Brother Minato will worry. As soon as the matter is done, I will come back to see you."
"Hey, hey, hey! Sister Kushina! And here's me! You're going to strangle Chen to death!" Anko on the side was completely ignored and protested with a dissatisfied pout.
Only then did Kushina let go of his hand, and then pulled Anko over, rubbing their heads one by one, with a bright smile on their faces, "Anko is here too! Hurry! Get in the house quickly! What are you doing standing outside!"
When the three of them walked into the house, a warm aroma of food hit their faces. The house was not big, but it was well organized and full of the atmosphere of life.
Kushina poured tea for the two of them quickly, then sat down next to Senju Chen, like a worried elder, pinched his arm and looked at his face.
"I've lost weight! I've definitely lost weight!" She concluded decisively, "Did you not eat well outside? I heard Minato say that you went to find Sister Tsunade, did you find her? How is she?"
"Yes, sister, she is very nice. I heard that you and Brother Minato got married, and sister is also very happy." Senju Chen replied with a smile, picking out some of the interesting things he encountered on the road.
"That's good, that's good..." Kushina breathed a sigh of relief, and then seemed to remember something. He leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice, with a look of gossip and concern on his face, "Little Chen, those rumors in the village... were you really 'forced' to leave by Lord Third and the others... that...?"
Senju Chen had a helpless look on his face. "How is that possible? I went out this time just to find my sister. Sister Kushina, you also know my sister's temper. I just wanted to go find her and persuade her to come back early. It's not as evil as what is spread in the village."
"I'm just telling you!" Kushina slapped his thigh and said angrily, "Those people know nonsense all day long!"
She said, cheering up again, and raised her chin proudly. "Let's not talk about this! Little Chen, during your absence, I secretly learned a lot of cooking skills from you, and I have made rapid progress! Minato I don't think I will be back until this afternoon. I will let you try my cooking skills tonight!"
"Really? That's great!" Anko cheered immediately.
The afternoon passed quickly with Kushina chattering and Anko cheering me up from time to time.
It wasn't until the setting sun dyed the window lattice a warm orange color that the voice of Gate of Opening came from the entrance.
"I'm back." A gentle and mellow male voice sounded.
Minato Namikaze walked in carrying a bag of fresh vegetables. When he saw the three people chatting happily in the living room, a trace of surprise first flashed in his blue eyes, which was then replaced by deep joy.
