I am Uchiha, starting the S4 season

Chapter 68 Dynamics of all parties [asking for monthly votes]

Konoha.

In the scorching heat of August, sparrows were chirping in the woods.

Training Course.

"Mikoto, you're amazing."

Uzumaki Kushina was breathing heavily, looking at Uchiha Mikoto who was slowly putting away her ninja sword across from her, and she couldn't help but sit down on the lawn exhausted and said helplessly.

But Uchiha Mikoto smiled and shook her head after hearing this.

"When I was Kushina's age, I wasn't this powerful."

"Misaki-san, please stop comforting me."

Family members know their own business. Although the Uzumaki clan is also strong, the sealing technique has little combat capability in the early stage. It can be said that it lacks power compared with ordinary ninjutsu in the early stage.

"Kushina, you misunderstood."

However, Uchiha Mikoto smiled and shook her head, revealing a hint of envy.

"Kushina's chakra capacity has been praised several times by Ye Ye. Kushina, while practicing the sealing technique, you can specialize in an attribute ninjutsu."

Uchiha Mikoto was not trying to comfort her, she was truly envious. The Uchiha clan's chakra was not weak, but there was a gap compared to the Uzumaki clan.

Especially since Uzumaki Kushina had previously sealed the Nine-Tails' chakra, causing the chakra in her body to enter a surge mode.

"Should we specialize in one attribute ninjutsu first?"

Walking in front of Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Mikoto narrowed her eyes and revealed a gentle smile, stroking her red hair skillfully and whispered:
"Kushina has so much chakra, it would be a shame not to practice ninjutsu."

Although the two of them did this often, every time Mikoto combed her red hair, Kushina felt shy.

"Sister Mikoto."

Looking at the somewhat shy Kushina, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but let out a gentle smile like an older sister.

"Kushina's red hair is so pretty, no wonder Ye said it looks good."

Instantly, Uzumaki Kushina's face turned even redder, but she was not the type to not fight back when teased. She suppressed her shyness, raised her head, showed her little canine teeth and said unhappily:

"Misaki-sister, the night you mentioned said it yourself, look at the face first, if the face is beautiful, everything else will be beautiful naturally."

Facing Kushina's counterattack, Uchiha Mikoto opened her innocent eyes and seemed a little confused and said:

"That's right?"

Right? Uzumaki Kushina's eyes widened. What kind of brain circuit does this Uchiha have?

Uchiha Mikoto looked innocent and said with a smile:

"When I chose Ye, besides the fact that Ye is a genius, the most important thing was his appearance. Isn't that normal?"

Uchiha Mikoto didn't lie. After all, who has feelings for someone the first time they meet? Who doesn't first appreciate and like the appearance before having feelings for them later?

Uchiha Mikoto's words left Uzumaki Kushina speechless. She didn't know how to refute it. It seemed that what she said made sense.

At this time, Uchiha Mikoto looked at Kushina's speechless appearance, but a cunning look flashed in her eyes. She gently stroked the red hair beside her ear and teased in a dark whisper:

"Kushina is really cute. When I was with Ye last night, I transformed into Kushina."

In an instant, Uzumaki Kushina's face turned red like a tomato. Although she had a hot and straightforward personality, she was inferior to Mikoto, who was three years older than her and had experienced more.

It's totally not on the same level.

"Misaki-sister, you..."

Her face was flushed and her eyes were about to shed tears, which made Uchiha Mikoto smile in an indulgent manner.

"Kushina is so cute."

Faced with Mikoto's teasing, Uzumaki Kushina was immediately defeated and could only use the method of changing the subject, which is what women are best at, to tickle her.

"Mikoto!"

Pretending to be calm, Uzumaki Kushina yelled and threw Mikoto on the lawn. Her unyielding character made her blushing and she began to tickle.

"Misaki-san, I'll let you tease me."

Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto at the training ground had innocent smiles on their faces. This kind of feeling is also extremely precious to ninjas.

……

Inside the Hokage's office.

The light of the setting sun shone into the office through the glass. A masked Anbu knelt on one knee and reported respectfully.

"Hokage, these people are spies from the Kumogakure Village. They have been disguised as merchants for more than a year. Because they are not strong, they have not been contacted... They have been keeping an eye on them..."

"According to the request, the target Uzumaki Kushina has special chakra and has been revealed to these people..."

Listening to the report from the Anbu, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting on a chair, gently pressed down the Hokage's hat, exhaled a puff of smoke after a while and then spoke.

"According to the plan, the Anbu and Root will cooperate along the way to mobilize the Intelligence Department, the Police Department, and the ninjas in the village. As for the defense of the Senju clan, don't worry."

"Yes!"

Just as the Anbu were about to leave, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly raised his head with a determined look.

"At the same time, guide the Chuunin Namikaze Minato to discover this matter."

"Yes!"

After the Anbu disappeared, Sarutobi Hiruzen was the only one left in the empty Hokage's office. At this moment, he raised his head and looked through the window at the three portraits on the Hokage Rock, his eyes gradually becoming firm.

"Teacher, for the sake of Konoha's stability, the power of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki cannot be shaken!"

Everything went according to plan, even Minato Namikaze knew it, but it was also part of the plan.

He has already ordered the Anbu to guide him. If Namikaze Minato cannot find him, or hesitates at the last moment, then he will lose the qualification to be trained.

"Hiruzen!"

With a bang, the door was pushed open and Danzo Shimura walked in with a gloomy face and started to argue without saying a word.

"You are too merciful. In this situation, we should just take advantage of the opportunity to clean up the mess and use our people as Jinchūriki candidates."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was already used to Danzo's dissatisfaction, so he waited calmly until the other party finished speaking, then he slowly said:
"Danzo, you are too impatient. What do you know about this kind of thing?"

After hearing this, Shimura Danzo couldn't help but snorted coldly and sneered disdainfully: "Any calculation of human means is not as good as the Root!"

Danzo Shimura never trusts others. Relatively speaking, he believes that control is the safest way.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen is good at winning people's hearts. He always believes that it is better to win over people's hearts than to control them by means.

Just as the two were arguing, Mitomon En and Utane Koharu walked in calmly.

"Danzo, Sarutobi was right to do this."

"Yes, if everything goes well, this brat Minato Namikaze will capture the heart of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. A brat of this age is blind to love, and the only one who will be disappointed will be the Senju."

Utane Koharu very much agrees with Sarutobi Hiruzen's plan. In her eyes, as long as it succeeds, there will be a rift between Uzumaki Kushina and the Senju.

Mizuto Kado En beside him also nodded, looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with appreciation, and said with emotion:
"This child, Namikaze Minato, is sincere, and I believe in Hiruzen's vision."

Konoha F4 was three against one, and Danzo Shimura could only snort in frustration.

"Hiruzen, you will regret this!"

However, this time Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, "Danzo, this is why I am the Hokage."

"Hiruzen, you!"

This time, Danzo Shimura was so angry that he glared at her. It was so infuriating.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two looked at each other and smiled.

As long as Uzumaki Kushina makes the right choice, then Namikaze Minato, the sincere and sunny boy, will become the rope they use to bind the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and control him firmly in their hands.
