Naruto: My and Obito's mutual redemption

Minato silently slowed down his pace. He knew that the two children had not been back to the village for a long time and were probably immersed in memories. He smiled slightly. Even if the two of them had stirred up the ninja world outside, they were still just children when they returned to the village and returned to his hands...

"Hello, Hokage-sama!"

"Hokage-sama is here to inspect our work again! You've been working so hard!"

"...The Fourth Hokage-sama... is so handsome."

"..."

Minato received compliments along the way. He felt helpless at this moment, but he couldn't turn a blind eye to it, so he still patiently waved to everyone.

Obito looked at Minato's high popularity, curled his lips, and said meaningfully: "Oh, our Hokage is so handsome... He is so popular!"

Yuyan's mouth curled up, the village still looked pretty good. Although it had just experienced a war, the newly appointed Minato was obviously very popular with the villagers. After all, such a young and promising Hokage would make the future of the village more promising.

Hearing Obito's teasing, Minato smiled awkwardly and explained: "Haha, don't look at me like this, in fact, the work of Hokage is still very hard... Well, you two should help me a little more~"

"Of course. Obito wants to be Hokage anyway, so just treat it as getting familiar with the job in advance."

Yu Yan said with a smirk on his face. He knew that being a Hokage was not an easy job. The endless piles of documents to be processed every day made people's scalps numb. It should be said that this kind of work is indeed inefficient, but it can hold power in one's own hands.

The third generation old man is really good at doing things. He can leave the work to Minato, but he has to hold the power in his own hands. He lets the old man be the only good guy. No wonder he relies on Danzo so much...

Obito nodded in confusion. Although he didn't know what the job of Hokage was, what Yuyan said made sense. It would be great if his childhood dream could come true... Anyway, he and Yuyan were still young and had plenty of time. When they had enough fun, they would return to the village to become Hokage... Yeah, perfect!

While chatting and laughing, they had already arrived at the door of the Hokage's office. Yu Yan knew who was in the room without even looking... Minato knocked on the door a few times before slowly opening the office door.

Sure enough, Sarutobi Hiruzen was standing in front of the window, staring into the distance. Even though he had stepped back, the old man was still wearing a Hokage robe and his Hokage hat, leaning against the window and smoking a cigarette. When he heard the door open, he slowly turned around, with one hand behind his back and the other still holding his pipe, looking at the three people with a smile.

"It's really you, good kids. It's great that you're still alive... When you disappeared, the village sent many people to look for you. What a pity... But fortunately, you're back in the village now. Welcome home..."

Listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's speeches, Yu Yan was a little speechless. While secretly complaining in his heart, he still had that harmless smile on his face...

"We are back, three generations of grandpa..."

Obito followed behind Yu Yan and nodded to the old man of the Third Generation. He was not good at dealing with this kind of situation. This seemingly harmonious but actually oppressive atmosphere made him very uncomfortable. If he wanted to interrogate someone, could he just do it quickly? Why bother with this? Although he had heard Yu Yan say before that the Third Generation was not as upright as he seemed, combined with this faint pressure, Obito was more convinced of this...

In addition to the Sandaime, there were two old men sitting on the sofa. They looked to be in their sixties, about the same age as the Sandaime.

Although he didn't know these two old guys, Yu Yan already had an idea in his mind. There were not many people who could sit in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen. These two were probably the dragon and phoenix of Konoha, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu.

"So they're all waiting... It only took us a dozen minutes to get here from the village gate. These old guys reacted pretty quickly... Now all we need is Danzo, and the few old guys from Tobirama's team will be here soon."

Yu Yan looked around the room, thinking silently in his heart that he had nothing to explain, and no one present could threaten him anyway.

After a round of polite exchanges, Yuyan and Obito sat down on the sofa on the other side of the room, waiting for the Third Hokage to ask questions.

"So... now tell me about your experiences..."

Finally getting to the point... Yu Yan pinched his chin, thought for a moment, and then explained briefly: "Obito and I were seriously injured and fled, and have been hiding in the dark to recover. Now that our injuries have healed and our chakra has recovered, we can return to the village..."

"......Gone?"

"No, there is nothing special, and no valuable information. The village sent people to look for us before, but they just happened to fail to find us."

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen is an old and experienced man. He can see that Yuyan has no intention of telling him something. This kid must have a lot of things to hide... What should he do...

Sarutobi Hiruzen is the bad guy, so now it's the turn of the Hokage advisor to play the bad guy.

"Senju Yuhiko, Uchiha Obito, you'd better tell us the details of what happened in the past year. Even if you were injured on the battlefield, it is not an excuse for you to disappear for a year! Depending on the situation, I have reason to suspect that you have become spies for other countries..."

As soon as Utatane Koharu opened her mouth, she struck a thunderous blow, directly putting a high hat on Yuyan and the others, and her words were full of condemnation. It seemed that not telling him the details would be like betraying the village...

"Ugh..."

Obito, who was suddenly called out, shook his head nonchalantly, sighed, and continued to curl up on the sofa, not wanting to even lift his eyelids. Seeing Obito's disdainful attitude, Mito Kado En flew into a rage, stood up, pointed at Obito and shouted, "What's your attitude? Are you going to betray the village? I asked you to explain the problem, and this is how you explain it?"

Yu Yan felt a bit overwhelmed by what he heard. These two old guys were chattering so much. They were obviously not very powerful, but their barking was louder than the other. When he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen was calm and composed with a charming smile, Yu Yan wanted to curse them even more... What did he want to ask? Couldn't this old man speak for himself? Wasn't it a bit inhuman to put pressure on him right from the start?

However, Yu Yan and Obito did not respond and simply ignored the two angry people. Yu Yan turned his head and shouted softly in the direction of Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Hokage-sama, we have finished what we want to say. If there is nothing else, we will go back first..."

Minato stood aside with no expression, he knew that his two students were quite capable, and might even be not much worse than himself now. If they were strong, they would not be easily bullied, and it was impossible for these old leaders to start making trouble in the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked a little unhappy. These two guys were definitely not that simple. Not to mention that the strange Wood Release that appeared in the Rain Country battlefield was extremely similar to those of Yu Yan, even Obito's aura had become many times stronger...

“It’s a bit difficult...”

Yu Yan looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with no expression, and was about to pull Obito away first when a dark and old voice came from outside the door...

"Wait!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up when he heard this voice. Although he had told him to "rest" for a while, this voice at this moment was like the sound of nature...

The door opened, and it was Danzo who came in. He had a bandage on half of his head and was scanning the room with his remaining eye. Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything. He thought to himself that it wasn't his turn as a retired old man to be the villain in such a troublesome matter. Danzo was the perfect person to play the good guy...

"Danzo, you are here, come and see how this matter is handled."

Utane Koharu seemed to have found a savior immediately. She knew Danzo's methods. For someone who had experienced countless open and secret struggles and established his "roots", it would be easy for him to deal with two young boys.

Yu Yan saw Danzo's expression without any ripples in his heart. Although he could cooperate with Obito to send him to the Pure Land to meet the Six Paths Sage, but... at this time, he still had to consider Minato's face and couldn't tear his face with Danzo here...

"Elder Danzo, long time no see."

Yu Yan greeted him indifferently. Danzo at this time did not have Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, so the ability that Yu Yan feared the most was not in him, and his ordinary moves were basically useless against him.

Although Kotoamatsukami is known as the strongest illusion, it is still unclear whether it will work for Yu Yan. However, Yu Yan does not want to gamble on this possibility. Even if his soul power is strong and his illusion resistance is max, Obito does not have such a supernatural ability. Although he also has the Mangekyō Sharingan, Yu Yan does not want to meddle in other people's business.

"Hehe... Senju, Senju Yuyan, right? Your Wood Release Ninjutsu is no longer a secret. There's no need to play dumb. What did you do secretly during the time you were missing? I hope to hear a reasonable answer."

"What do you mean, Elder Danzo? I don't understand. Please explain."

Yu Yan didn't want to take the challenge. He was just pretending to be stupid, so he couldn't fight with him here. He wouldn't take any accusations, and he would refuse to admit it.

"The incident in the Land of Rain... do you dare to say that those Wood Release Ninjutsu have nothing to do with you?"

Danzo narrowed his single eye slightly, as if he was looking at a thing in his pocket...

"Oh, that, who knows? I just killed some enemies... Aren't they enemies from other countries? The ninjas in our village have always been upright. Those people are vicious and cunning. They must not be from our village. Elder Danzo is a righteous man. How could he be involved in those conspiracies..."

Yu Yan felt like laughing as he spoke. This is called reading a random reply. Anyway, unless they use force, who can prove that they are the murderers of the ninjas from the same village? Besides... the people of the Root have killed a lot of people themselves, so these few are not enough.

"you..."

What do you mean by being upright? Even a ghost wouldn’t believe it.

Mizutomon Yan saw that something was not right and started to smooth things over, saying, "Anyway, you must explain today everything that happened when you were missing, otherwise don't blame us for turning our backs on you..."

Yu Yan spread his hands with an innocent look on his face, turned to the two Hokage and said aggrievedly: "We were delayed for so long because we were seriously injured and had to avoid being hunted down. Now that we have recovered from our injuries, we are able to return to the embrace of the village. It's that simple."

Minato wanted to say a few words to help Yuyan, but seeing how relaxed Yuyan was, Minato decided to stand by and not make things worse.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a bit confused. It seemed that he would not be able to get any information today. He had no evidence to prove that the two of them did not return to the village on purpose, and he would believe that they did not do anything to harm the village. However, he was afraid that there was no way to discuss the matter of Danzo's loss of troops and generals and his request for an explanation. This was not a glorious topic to discuss in detail, so he could only hold his breath...

"Oh, never mind. I believe these two little guys are good kids. Let's forget about what happened before. Now that they are back, they are still the ninjas of the village. Let's put the previous files back in place..."

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and quickly left the Hokage's office. If there were any problems that couldn't be solved at this time, then he would put them aside. As long as they didn't harm the village, he wouldn't hold anyone responsible. As for Danzo... let him handle it himself.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's calculations were very sophisticated. He would be tolerant and generous when nothing happened, and Danzo would jump out to help him solve the problem. He was a good guy, so he didn't have to do the bad things himself...

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had left, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu didn't want to stay there and make themselves bored, so they snorted a few times and turned around and left.

The plan they had planned to target the Uchiha clan has now gone to waste. Once these two guys come back, the Uchiha clan will find an opportunity again. Moreover, Yu Yan is not a simple-minded person. With him around, they probably won't be able to easily catch the Uchiha clan.

Minato nodded secretly on the spot. Yuyan and the others had always shared information with him as their teacher. Since they believed in him, he would not let them down. The future construction of the village still needed them. With their help, he would have a large share of the village's strength and would no longer be alone...

"that power..."

Minato was not interested in this, but after becoming Hokage, he gradually understood some invisible things. It was easy to say that he would become Hokage and build the village well... but the power he needed could not be easily obtained from these elders. If it touched the interests of some people, things would be even more troublesome...

"Elder Danzo? Shall I see you off? Or would you like to stay for dinner?"

Yu Yan smiled at Danzo's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and teased Danzo with his big eyes blinking. I have to say that it is really interesting to see this old man being humiliated. I am a little reluctant to kill him with a knife...

Seeing Yu Yan's "enthusiastic" smile, Danzo felt uncomfortable. He suffered such a big loss probably because of this damn boy in front of him, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything about it now. The aura released by Hiruzen and himself at the same time just now didn't put any pressure on him at all...

"Hmph! No, I'm leaving now!"

After reaching the door, Danzo turned back and said suddenly: "Senju Yuyan...you take care of yourself!"

"Take care, Elder Danzo! Come have tea when you have time!"

Yu Yan watched Danzo leave. The moment he finished speaking, the air in the office instantly dropped to freezing point... The smile on Yu Yan's face instantly disappeared, replaced by endless murderous intent...

This situation only lasted for half a second, and Yu Yan retracted it as soon as he let go, as if nothing had happened at all.
