Naruto : Minato back to the past

"Uchiha Yoruki!?"

In front of Minato, Hiruzen's expression suddenly changed.

His reaction was already expected by the former.

Because even the current Konoha high-level officials are still wary of the Uchiha clan.

When Konoha was first established, it was Uchiha Madara who competed with the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, for the position of Hokage.

For some members of the Uchiha clan, in their subconscious, they still have not given up the pursuit of power.

It was because the second Hokage noticed this that he established the Konoha Police Force and put the Uchiha people in charge.

The existence of the police force often offends some people, and this is a way to prevent Uchiha from touching the power center of the village.

As for Hiruzen, although his attitude towards the Uchiha clan was much better than that of the second hokage, he was still on guard against the Uchiha clan.

Minato naturally knew all of this, but in his opinion, this behavior would not be able to dispel the ambitions of the Uchiha people. Instead, it would only make their resentment towards the village's top leaders grow deeper.

"Uchiha Yoruki is indeed strong enough to take on this position, but Minato, you have to know what it means to let someone from the Uchiha clan take charge of the Anbu."

Hiruzenm's face changed drastically and he said that he knew that Uchiha Yoruki was different from ordinary Uchiha clan members, but despite this, this matter still needed to be considered again and again.

"Of course I know that."

Minato said: "You should also know Uchiha Yoruki very well. From the beginning when you asked me to carry out the mission of the Land of Hot Spring with him, didn't you want to change some things?"

Minato knew very well that Hiruzen had trained him over the years, and Uchiha Yoruki was a part of it.

The purpose is that one day when Minato becomes Hokage, Uchiha Yoruki will not only be able to serve as a helper, but also become a bridge to improve the relationship between the village high-level officials and the Uchiha clan.

This was what Hiruzen thought at the beginning, but he never expected that Minato's move would be so bold.

Just now, he succeeded the Hokage and made the Uchiha clan the most important force under him...

"Haha, little guy, you are setting a trap for me..."

Hiruzen looked at Minato in front of him and a wry smile appeared on his face.

He understood Minato's approach, but his approach would definitely lead to opposition from the other elders.

This is not a good thing for Minato, who has just succeeded as Hokage.

"I know that what I am doing is somewhat against the will of the higher-ups, but if we want to change the current relationship between the village and the Uchiha, we must implement drastic reforms."

"Only when the Uchiha people feel our sincerity can the following things proceed smoothly."

At this point, Minato chuckled and said, "Besides, the Uchiha clan, like all the clan in the village, are all fellow Konoha members. I think it's time to let go of the grudges and suspicions of the past."

Minato said that although some of the Uchiha were somewhat extreme, the vast majority of them gave everything they had, fulfilled their duties as Konoha's people, and loved the village.

In the Second Ninja World War and the Third Ninja World War, among the heroes who died for the village, there were also members of the Uchiha clan.

Among Minato's acquaintances, whether it was Mikoto, Uchiha Yoruki, Shisui, or Obito, none of them were the kind of people in the eyes of Konoha's top leaders.

"Since this is your decision as the Hokage, I can only support it."

Seeing the look in Minato's eyes, a smile gradually appeared on Hiruzen's face.

Since he has handed over the position of Hokage to the young man in front of him, he should trust him.

It was like the previous Hokage trusted him.

The ideas of these old people from the old times may be a bit old-fashioned.

So, he chose to trust Minato's own judgment.

"However, if you decide to do this, you must be mentally prepared for what happens next."

Changing the subject, Hiruzen looked at Minato solemnly. Once he announced the news that the new ANBU captain was Uchiha Yoruki, he would definitely be opposed by the other elders.

Although he had the ability to solve these problems for Minato, the latter was the Hokage at the moment.

Therefore, he has to face it himself and can't go on as before.

"Certainly."

Minato smiled, but there was a hint of gloom in his deep blue eyes.

Although it has been today, he has not forgotten the leak of information about Konoha's reinforcements during the Second Ninja World War.

And today, members of the Root under Danzo secretly left the village during the period when he succeeded as Hokage.

Although it is still unclear what those people did after leaving the village, he does not intend to continue to tolerate it like Hiruzen did.

But now he is still not fully grown and cannot make any big moves in a short period of time.

But sooner or later, he will solve these problems.

"I will inform you immediately when the Anbu personnel have news." said Hiruzen.

Minato nodded and said, "I will go to the Uchiha clan this afternoon to discuss this matter with Fugaku."

"Besides, I have to confirm what Uchiha Yoruki himself thinks."

"Uchiha Fugaku will definitely agree."

Hiruzen chuckled. Whether for the interests of the Uchiha clan or Fugaku's own interests, he would agree to let Uchiha Yoruki serve as the captain of the Anbu.

Minato nodded. The only thing he was not sure about now was what Uchiha Yoruki was thinking.

Because that person has been his rival since a long time ago.

Given his arrogant nature, I wonder if he is willing to become an Anbu directly under Minato.

After finishing the documents in his hand, Minato returned to his home at noon.

"Welcome home."

Sensing Minato's chakra, Kushina looked back and smiled slightly. At this time, he was preparing lunch.

"Thanks a lot."

Kushina continued, "How's your first day on the job?"

"Yeah it's alright." Minato replied.

Afterwards, Minato and Kushina had lunch together, and after a while, Minato came to the Uchiha clan.

Minato first went to meet Fugaku and told him his thoughts.

Fugaku was shocked when he heard this.

As the head of the Uchiha clan, he naturally knew what Minato's decision meant.

But of course he was happy to accept it.

In the Uchiha clan, strength is respected, and Uchiha Yoruki, who has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, is stronger than Fugaku, so now some people in the clan are beginning to oppose Fugaku as the clan leader.

Of course, Uchiha Yoruki himself had no interest in being the clan leader, otherwise Fugaku would not have been able to become the clan leader so smoothly when he was running for the position.

Minato made Uchiha Yoruki the captain of the new Anbu, so that the voices in the clan would gradually decrease.

This was also within Minato's consideration, and it was considered as doing Fugaku a favor.

After meeting Fugaku, Minato sensed something and rushed to a corner of the Uchiha clan.

According to common sense, as the Hokage, he should summon Fugaku and Uchiha Yoruki, but in order to make the other party feel his sincerity, Minato had to do this.

Uchiha Yoruki was slightly stunned when he saw Minato suddenly appear in front of him.

He immediately came back to his senses and spoke with a little respect.

"Hokage-sama!"
