Konoha owes Uchiha a Hokage

Minato, who had just returned from the battlefield, ate in a hurry and was about to go back to his room to rest and relieve his fatigue, when he saw Kakashi waiting outside the door of his room.

"What do you want from me, Kakashi?"

Even though he was very tired, Minato still looked after Kakashi, a junior.

"Minato-sensei, can you guide me in my training?"

Kakashi bit his lip under the mask, hesitated, and finally stated his purpose.

If he wanted to catch up with Uchiha Yu as soon as possible, he felt that his hope was very slim.

Although his father, White Fang, was also a great strong man, swordsmanship required long-term practice over time and could not make leaps and bounds in strength in a short period of time.

He didn't know many people who could teach him ninjutsu in other aspects. There weren't many choices, and the best one was Minato.

The reputation of Golden Flash resounds throughout the ninja world, and he is the idol of all young people in Konoha Village.

"Of course. Although the battle has been fierce recently, I will still take time to guide you and Yu."

Minato agreed without any hesitation.

I believe that anyone who is not selfish will not refuse to mentor talented juniors.

Putting aside personal relationships, improving the strength of the younger generations in the village also enhances the overall strength of the village, so why not do it.

"Minato-sensei, what I mean is, can I become your official disciple?"

Kakashi was not satisfied. What he wanted was not Minato's casual guidance, but the one who would become Minato's true disciple and inherit the mantle.

If it weren't for a formal master-disciple relationship, it would be impossible to learn each other's core ninjutsu.

If it was just for ordinary guidance, Kakashi could ask anyone for guidance. Any chuunin and jounin would be more than enough to guide him now, so why bother waiting at the gate of Minato for more than an hour?

Minato was silent. For him now, he has not thought about the matter of accepting a disciple, and he also felt that it was a bit too early. After all, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was far from qualified to accept a disciple.

"Can I ask why?"

Minato asked after a moment of silence.

Generally speaking, when it comes to accepting disciples, the master selects them and sends them to their doorstep. There are really not many.

Since Kakashi was able to reach this point, there must be a reason.

"Because I'm too weak"

Kakashi lowered his head and said in a low voice.

Because he was too weak, he could only watch his father being forced to death.

Because I am too weak, I can only look at the backs of others, and the gap even widens.

Because he is too weak, he cannot even protect himself on the battlefield and needs others to save him.

Unlike the decadent and depressed Kakashi in the early days, Kakashi was somewhat affected and stimulated by the existence of Uchiha Yu, so that he was no longer the depressed man who indulged in those narrow thoughts. And with ambition.

Taking the initiative to seek Minato's apprenticeship was his first step.

"If you just want power, then I can't agree to it."

When Minato heard this, he shook his head and rejected Kakashi.

If Kakashi was just addicted to power, Minato would not look down on him.

No one knows what people who are addicted to power will do in order to gain power.

Even if you have power, what you will do is completely unpredictable, but based on past experience, it is definitely not a good thing.

Kakashi lowered his head, disappointed.

No one knows how determined he was to wait at the water gate for more than an hour.

But if Minato refused, he had nothing to do. He couldn't force others to accept him as his disciple.

Kakashi bowed to Minato and prepared to leave.

After taking a few steps, Kakashi was a little unwilling and stopped.

"One day, I will let those who slander my father know that those who do not know how to cherish their companions are the real losers. Those who cannot protect their companions are not worthy of being called ninjas."

This was Kakashi's biggest feeling when he was saved by Uchihaha from the young ninja.

His father's death once made him feel that ninjas were born for tasks, and ninjas who broke the rules were useless and unworthy of being called ninjas.

But Uchiha Yu broke this common sense.

Two people were attacked at the same time. Normally, it would be good if he could escape for his own life, and he would not care about others.

But Uchiha Yu not only ignored it, but also risked his life to save him.

This shocked his soul greatly.

Even if Uchihaha did this because of his strength, Uchihaha undoubtedly broke his cognition.

He saw in Uchihaha the shadow of the man he was most proud of.

So much so that he wanted to work hard to improve his strength, catch up with Uchiha Yu, and have the qualifications to stand with him

After saying that, Kakashi left without looking back.

"and many more"

After taking a few steps, Minato stopped him.

Kakashi paused, then stopped.

"Then, let's get started after you're healed."

Minato looked at Kakashi's back and showed a smile as bright as the sun.

He hadn't seen such an interesting child for a long time.

There is no doubt that Kakashi's desire for power is very strong.

But the reason why he wanted strength was not to show off his strength and win, but to prove himself and chase a certain goal.

Minato, who probably knew something about Kakashi, easily figured out the whole story and knew that he had misunderstood Kakashi.

Since this was the case, Minato's worries no longer existed, and Minato became looking forward to accepting a talented disciple like Kakashi.

Kakashi couldn't believe his ears, and it took him a long time to react.

"Thank you Minato-sensei"

After reacting, Kakashi immediately turned around and bowed deeply to Minato, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

He finally saw the hope of catching up with Uchiha Yu, and finally saw the hope of proving himself.

Yu, just wait, I won’t be pulled away too much by you

"This is my first time as a teacher. If there is anything I don't do well in the future, please forgive me."

Minato helped Kakashi up and patted his shoulder to get vaccinated in advance.

"I believe you, Minato-sensei"

Kakashi said solemnly.

Kakashi left, taking with him Minato's promise and the hope of chasing Uchihaha.

He needed to recover from his injuries as soon as possible before he could accept Minato's guidance.

Minato looked at Kakashi's leaving figure and couldn't help but wonder in his heart what kind of magic Uchihaha had, which made Kakashi cheer up again and become more motivated.
