But, it doesn't matter!

Obito is also his student, and he will naturally take good care of him.

"So, that's how it is!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flickered: "Minato, you are right; Obito is a good child."

"Back in school, he often helped the elderly on the road."

"Although the Uchiha's reputation isn't very good, Obito's reputation is quite good."

"Like Shisui, he is an Uchiha who possesses the Will of Fire."

"For Uchiha like this who are kind, they should be well-cultivated by our village."

"I am prepared to transfer Obito and Kakashi into the Anbu to cultivate them properly."

"Jade must be carved to become a useful object, right? Minato, what do you think?"

Yes.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen was truly interested.

This, it's no wonder!

After all, this is a Mangekyo, the ultimate power of the Uchiha.

As a Hokage who values power extremely highly, Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally wouldn't give up easily.

He had confidence.

As long as he got Obito into the Anbu, it wouldn't take long before he could cultivate Obito into his own image.

He even regretted it a little.

Initially, putting Obito in Minato's squad was just to appease the Uchiha, and because Obito was relatively simple and kind, he was easier to control.

If he had known that this guy had the potential to awaken the Mangekyo, how could he have been willing to hand him over to Namikaze Minato.

After all, Namikaze Minato, to Sarutobi Hiruzen, was just a puppet to be cultivated.

Although he hoped for Minato to become Hokage, he didn't hope for him to hold too much power.

Therefore.

Like a Mangekyo like Obito, he naturally wasn't willing to hand him over to Minato.

Now that there was an opportunity, he naturally wanted to try to see if he could trick him into his own hands.

As for Kakashi.

That was just an add-on.

On one hand, to cultivate the bond with Obito, and on the other, to take the opportunity to win over the supporters of Hatake Sakumo.

Do you see?

I even transferred Kakashi into the Anbu!

What is the Anbu?

The Hokage's true confidants, and the department with the greatest authority among the many departments in Konoha.

With so many benefits, Sarutobi Hiruzen was naturally tempted.

Especially considering...

Now that there were some grudges between him and Minato.

Therefore.

He naturally hoped to dig away everyone with potential around Namikaze Minato.

As for Namikaze Minato.

Just be a puppet Hokage; power is something that shouldn't be touched.

However, it was a pity.

If it were the old Namikaze Minato, he might not have thought much and just agreed.

After all, entering the Anbu.

For his students, it was also a relatively good destination.

Basically, as long as they didn't die young, ninjas from the Anbu could mix into a middle-level leadership position in the village in the future.

Namikaze Minato was kind-hearted, so he naturally wouldn't stop his students from progressing.

But, not now!

Minato, who had completely realized the darkness of the village, would absolutely not send his students into the Anbu.

After all.

The current Hokage's Anbu was led by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

... Please give flowers...

With the current level of darkness in the village, who knows what kind of fate his students would meet in a while.

Entering the Anbu is fine!

After he becomes Hokage, there will naturally be plenty of such opportunities.

Therefore.

There was no need to rush.

Thinking of this, without hesitation.

Namikaze Minato shook his head and rejected the matter directly.

"Lord Hokage, I am very sorry!"

"Although what you said makes a lot of sense, I also hope that those students can grow into pillars of the village."

"But, not now."

"They are still too young; let's wait for them to grow for a few more years."

"After all, the missions the Anbu comes into contact with are still too dangerous for them."

"As their teacher, I naturally have some selfishness and don't want them to die young!"

"So, that..."

"I hope Lord Hokage can forgive me."

Namikaze Minato said in a humble tone.

After all.

Even though he was very disdainful in his heart, he was the Hokage after all.

Although he was a direct descendant of the Hokage faction, and his master was Jiraiya, he himself was only a Jonin.

So, there was no choice!

Before truly holding power, he still had to choose to hibernate.

Even if he wanted to change the village, he had to wait until he became Hokage and had the righteousness to plan slowly.

As for now, just calm down.

Wait!

Control movement with stillness, and respond to all changes with constancy.

At most, make a few more friends, win over a few more supporters, and get a few more confidants.

Anyway, Hokage, right.

He didn't need to put in effort himself; just wait.

For the sake of his own power, Sarutobi Hiruzen would naturally send him to the position of Hokage.

"Oh, is that so." Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes narrowed: "What you said also makes sense, so let's talk about it in the future."

"It's not early tonight; Minato, you should go back and rest early too."

"I am tired too!"

"The negotiations with the Hidden Rock already made me exhausted, and then the Uchiha clan started making trouble."

"After finally resolving the Uchiha side, Danzo started making trouble here."

"Really, sigh!"

"I am really old!"

"The future of the village belongs to you young people."

"An old bone like me really can't take it anymore." ===== CHAPTER 512 =====

"For an old bag of bones like me, it's truly a bit hard to bear."
