Hokage: Starting With Uzumaki Kushina

Orochimaru suggested Chiba to accept the position of Genin leader and explained to Chiba why he did so.

Chiba became serious after hearing this.

Orochimaru was right.

Even if he found Karin's mother, why would Konoha choose Karin's mother and give up Uzumaki Kushina, who had already been trained.

Chiba had thought things too simply before, and always thought that if Karin's mother was found, the problem of Uzumaki Kushina would be solved.

Chiba nodded and said, "I know, Orochimaru teacher, I will lead a team of Genin."

Orochimaru said to Chiba, "I know you will agree after I explain, so I have already informed Teacher Sarutobi in advance. You don't need to lead a team of three, you only need to lead one person, but that person must be your disciple."

"Disciple..." Chiba murmured.

As a disciple, Chiba would have to teach the other party real skills in person.

However, the escape techniques that Orochimaru taught him other than Wind Style were enough for teaching.

Chiyu promised, "I understand, Orochimaru, I will choose a Genin as my disciple."

"Well, I'm glad you understand. Three Genins may become a burden to you, but it's not certain that a disciple will be. You can choose carefully when the time comes. When do you plan to leave?"

"I plan to leave for Konoha now."

"Okay, this is the current situation summary of the country of soup, you can give it to teacher Sarutobi for me."

Orochimaru took out a scroll and threw it to Chiyu.

Chiyu caught the scroll and said goodbye to Orochimaru, "I will give it to the Hokage, so Orochimaru, I'm leaving."

"Go."

Chiyu returned to his room, put on the backpack that he had prepared early in the morning, and left the camp.

Not long after walking, Chiyu heard a familiar voice.

"Chiyu."

Chiyu turned around and saw that it was the yellow-haired man. Chiyu felt troubled.

The yellow-haired man was naturally Namikaze Minato.

Namikaze Minato came to Chiyu in the blink of an eye.

Chiyu pulled the corner of his mouth: "You are really haunting, don't tell me you are here to see me off."

Namikaze Minato showed a very sunny smile and said: "No, didn't I tell you before? I also want to go back to Konoha, and it seems that you are going back to Konoha today, so let's go together, just in time to have a companion."

Chiyu made a "tsk" sound, looked at Namikaze Minato and asked: "Namikaze Minato, let me ask you a question, are you a sissy? Do you need a companion to go back to Konoha."

Namikaze Minato's expression froze, and he said helplessly: "It's really hard to hear a good word from you."

Chiyu no longer paid attention to Namikaze Minato, and walked forward on his own.

Namikaze Minato didn't care, and followed Chiyu behind him, heading towards Konoha.

On the way afterwards, the two of them didn't say a word, just took care of themselves.

Four days later.

Because Qianyu traveled very quickly, he only needed to travel one more day to reach Konoha.

Chiba wanted to see Uzumaki Kushina as soon as possible, so she planned to travel overnight and return to Konoha as soon as possible.

Just when Chiba was about to rush on the road under the cover of night, Namikaze Minato suddenly asked: "Chiba, if I had chosen to help Kushina at that time, would we have become companions?"

Chiba looked at Namikaze Minato in confusion.

Namikaze Minato looked at Qianyu with twinkling eyes and continued: "The only conflict between you and me seems to be that one time. I didn't know that Kushina was so important to you. In fact, I also regretted it at that time. If I could have stopped it at that time, They bully Kushina, maybe we will be very good friends.”

Chiba looked at Namikaze Minato calmly and suddenly sneered: "No, Namikaze Minato, even without that incident, we would not have become friends, because we are two different people, and I still wish you would not help Kushina."

Namikaze Minato frowned and said: "Why? Mr. Jiraiya and Mr. Orochimaru are also two people with completely opposite personalities. They can also become friends who give each other their backs. Why can't we?"

Qianyu shook his head and said: "It's really ideal. The two of us are fundamentally different from Master Jiraiya and Teacher Orochimaru, because I hate you from the bottom of my heart."

Namikaze Minato wondered: "Why do you hate me? There must be a reason to hate me, right?"

"So what if I tell you? So, don't force things that cannot be forced. We are just people who happen to live in the same village, that's all."

Qianyu picked up his backpack and moved forward.

Namikaze Minato stood there, looking at Qianyu's retreating back, unable to understand.

After a long time, Namikaze Minato came back to his senses and sighed.

"Teacher Jiraiya, it seems that I really can't become friends with Qianyu."

...

Because Qianyu traveled all night, Qianyu arrived in Konoha at noon the next day.

Chiba did not go to look for Uzumaki Kushina immediately, but went to the Hokage Building, handed the scroll Orochimaru gave him to Sarutobi Hiruzen first, and also took the letter of appointment to the Land of Grass.

Chiba came to the office in the Hokage Building and knocked on the door.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice came: "Please come in."

Chiba opened the door and went in, and was surprised to find that in addition to Sarutobi Hiruzen, there was a man about the same age as Sarutobi Hiruzen also in the office.

He has brown hair, neat sideburns, two slender eyes, with cunning and deep gazes. There is a fork-shaped scar on his chin, his face is slightly gloomy, and his wrinkles are deep, giving people a sinister and scheming feeling. .

Although it was his first time seeing him, Qianyu immediately recognized the man in front of him.

Hokage assistant, root leader, Shimura Danzō.

Qianyu greeted the two of them respectfully: "Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama."

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that it was Qianha, and his original serious expression suddenly became kind: "It's Qianha, I haven't seen you for a while, and you seem to have grown up a lot. I have always been paying attention to you, in the country of Yu. The battle with Cloud Shinobi was very active and completed many very difficult tasks.”

Chiba flattered her out of habit: "Thanks to Mr. Orochimaru's teachings and Mr. Hokage's trust, I have been able to grow to where I am now."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded happily.

Unexpectedly, Chiba, who was disliked by everyone back then, would grow to this point and become a very reliable Konoha Shinobi practitioner.

Although the current situation in Konoha is very bad, outstanding ninjas such as Chiba, Namikaze Minato, and the new generation of Ino-Shika-Chō have gradually shown their prowess.

With these new seedlings, Sarutobi Hiruzen became more and more confident about the next war.
