"Haha, Minato, your junior brother is really a good person."
Kushina, who was eating haise in the BBQ restaurant and didn't look like a lady at all, admired Namikaze Minato who had a wry smile on her face next to her.
Just having a barbecue, the favorability level increased again, making Xu Yue feel a little speechless, and then ignored this guy and said to Minato
"Senior Brother Minato, although we have just come back, given the current situation, I'm afraid we won't be free for long."
While talking, Xu Yue also bit into a piece of barbecue, and the meat juice bloomed on his taste buds. Well, it tasted really good.
"Yes, although the border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth has temporarily stopped, considering the position of the Kingdom of Fire, if we cannot quickly repel the Kingdom of Thunder, I am afraid that the other two sides may appear again. stable."
Namikaze Minato has a Kage-level vision and can see the current situation very clearly.
Although the troubles of Sagakure and Iwagakure were quickly solved, the battle with Kumogakure had also reached a fever pitch.
Kumogakure's overall strength is second only to Konoha, and they are all militants. Even if they only face one enemy for the time being, the pressure is quite high.
The conversation between the two obviously stimulated Kushina again, and even the barbecue could not stop her mouth.
"Huh? Are you going on a mission again? You've only been back for a few days. Are you crazy about wanting to be Hokage?"
After muttering for a while, he seemed to think of something again, and turned around and said to Xu Yue
"By the way, junior brother, the Fourth Hokage asked you to choose between Minato and your teacher, who would you choose?"
Faced with this problem, Xu Yue didn't hide much.
"My teacher's ambition is not to be Hokage, so I will choose Brother Minato."
"Humph, even if you can speak, if you weren't..., forget it."
In fact, Kushina originally wanted to compete with Minato for Hokage, but of course her purpose was more like competing for a breath.
But after staying in the village during this period, I knew that it was impossible to compete with Minato now.
But even so, she hoped the winner would be Minato.
Originally, Namikaze Minato felt a little thorny and embarrassed by Kushina's question, and was a little worried that it would affect his relationship with his junior brother, but he was quite surprised when he heard Xu Yue's answer.
Now that he has been in contact with Xu Yue, he found that Xu Yue is also a person with a similar personality to himself, and he should not be perfunctory and deceived for this kind of thing.
"Haha, don't be surprised. I know my teacher's character very well."
Xu Yue said with a smile.
"Oh, Yuejun really understands my character."
But at this time, a soft and hoarse voice, but full of magnetic charm, came from behind, making Namikaze Minato and even the carefree Kushina's faces full of embarrassment, as they had been caught and revealed themselves.
Then he quickly stood up and greeted Orochimaru.
At this time, Orochimaru was in Konoha, but he was famous enough to compete with Namikaze Minato for the qualification of Hokage, and his qualifications were still there, and with Jiraiya's relationship, the two juniors also had to maintain enough respect.
The appearance of Orochimaru really stunned Xu Yue. With this level of concealment ability, even Xu Yue was not aware that he was standing behind him.
My Force perception is not strong, teacher.
However, compared to the embarrassment of the other two people, Xu Yue only felt a little uncomfortable because Orochimaru appeared behind him, and had no intention of taking back his words.
Instead, he turned around and said with a smile.
"Teacher, have you returned from the front line? It will be difficult for Jiraiya-senpai to be on the front line alone."
Orochimaru obviously did not pursue the meaning of Xu Yue's words. Not to mention that he himself had no ambition to be Hokage. Even the current third generation is not optimistic about Orochimaru!
This is mentioned many times in the original work.
"Your mission has slowed down the offensive of the Kingdom of Thunder. The short rest period now is just in time to change get off work with the current young people."
Orochimaru still had the same hoarse voice, and glanced at Minato as he spoke.
Obviously, this should be the intention of Konoha's higher-ups to continue letting Namikaze Minato build his reputation!
From this point, we can actually see that the position of the next four generations of Hokage is almost determined.
Behind the seeming fairness of Konoha, there is no lack of behind-the-scenes operations. This was the case with White Fang back then, and even earlier with Uchiha Madara.
But now that Orochimaru has returned, the time for Feng Shuimen to go to the front line is soon approaching.
Even if it's a repair period, Jiraiya won't be left empty for too long.
"Senior Brother Minato, it seems I have to excuse myself for today. The teacher has just come back, and I also have something to ask."
Xu Yue then also said goodbye to Namikaze Minato and Kushina, and the two of them would naturally express their understanding...
…
"Yuejun's previous statement really made me sad."
Walking in a dark passage, Orochimaru in front of him still said in his hoarse voice full of magnetic charm.
"Teacher's goal is to pursue the eternal truth. Do you also care about a position like Hokage that requires a lot of energy?"
Xu Yue, who was following behind, still had the same smile.
"Ha, Yue Jun seems to have been guarding against me. Can you let me know why?"
"Teacher, I am your most reliable assistant. Your new technique seems to be almost completed."
Xu Yue answered the question incorrectly. When facing a smart person like Orochimaru, there is no need to go through too many twists and turns, just click to the end.
Before mastering the Flying Thunder God, Xu Yue would of course have to use another method to delay time and reduce his sense of presence. But now that he has mastered this first-class life-saving skill, he will definitely not be able to confront Orochimaru now, but It is still possible to protect yourself in the opponent's hands while always being on guard.
It is precisely because of Orochimaru's character that after he learned that Xu Yue had mastered the Flying Thunder God, Xu Yue was actually much safer. Orochimaru would not waste more time and energy doing some thankless attention.
"Yuejun is indeed a smart boy. It just so happens that you should come and see my newly cultivated experimental subject this time. After so many years, the miracle in you has not been able to reproduce. It is really a pity..."
As long as he has enough understanding of Orochimaru's character, his goals and way of thinking, even if he has the coveted vessel physique, Xu Yue is sure to master the balance.
No matter what, both of them understood that since they could no longer think of Xu Yue as a container for the time being, it was obvious that win-win cooperation was better than confrontation.
Moreover, Orochimaru was still young at this time and was not in a hurry. He also had enough time and confidence to cultivate a qualified container again.
Xu Yue also made him impeccable as his deputy.
Just like in the original work, when Orochimaru became ill before Sasuke arrived, Orochimaru did not move the body of Kabuto who volunteered to become the container, but simply selected one of the fittest among the captured experimental subjects.
Moreover, Orochimaru has not suffered from Itachi yet, and he is not so enthusiastic about the Sharingan...

In return for everyone's support, all orders are worth 2200 for extra updates! There are two more guarantees to come~
As for the ethics bacteria in the plot space, I originally had some bad feelings in my heart. Since it was released, there must be some integration, so it is mainly for reference and objection. As long as there is no more objection, then the space will probably be decided next time. So far so good~
