Naruto: My and Obito's mutual redemption

"I'm fine, Obito..."

Yu Yan knew that Obito was worried about him, so he smiled at him, then stood up and said to the three of them: "This is my private matter after all, if you..."

"We're with you."

Minato didn't hesitate and immediately interrupted what Yu Yan wanted to say. As Hokage, he had the obligation to find out what happened in the Daimyo's mansion. As a teacher, he had to help his students when they were in trouble, even if it was just standing behind him.

Kakashi said nothing, but stood up and waited, obviously intending to tag along.

Not to mention Obito, Yuyan knew that he would follow her no matter where she went.

Yuyan's mood improved. He didn't need to think too much. No matter what the situation was with his mother, he was only Qianshou Yuyan now.

"Anyway, let's go check out the situation first..."

After saying this, they prepared to leave. Although he didn't know what had happened to the Aoki family, Yu Yan had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, but he didn't know if it was different from what he thought.

Ninjas move much faster than ordinary people, especially with the Kamui Sharingan...By borrowing the power of space, they arrived at a manor in the north of the city effortlessly.

Just when they arrived here, Mr. Yamada Jiro also came here breathlessly. At this time, he even disguised himself... He looked like he had nothing to do with the samurai of the daimyo prefecture, but just an ordinary resident.

When he saw several people appear, a look of joy flashed in Yamada Jiro's eyes. He hurried over and brought them into the manor.

"Young Master... Uh, Master Yuyan, this is the only base of our Aoki family at present... The conditions are a bit simple, I hope you don't mind..."

Jiro Yamada wiped the sweat off his face and introduced it to Yuyan carefully.

Yuyan felt very uncomfortable when he heard Yamada Jiro, an uncle who was much older than him, constantly calling him with honorifics and titles. However, he was too lazy to correct him at this time, and instead looked up and observed the surrounding buildings...

It is called a manor, but in fact it is just a dilapidated building. How come this so-called Aoki family... Well, Yuyan really can't imagine what connection the people living here have with the Daimyo Prefecture.

"I won't go into details... The master is in the house, I'll go and report..."

Just as Jiro Yamada was about to push the door open, the door of the building opened. An old man who looked about the same age as Jiro Yamada walked out, bowed to the people and said, "No need, the master is inside, just go in."

After saying that, he turned around and walked inside with a few people, giving a brief self-introduction as he walked.

"I'm Taro Yamada..."

"Uh..."

Well, that's it. Compared to Jiro, Taro obviously speaks less and is calmer.

Minato frowned and frantically thought about this surname in his mind... Aoki family, he had an impression of it, but... what exactly was it? He couldn't remember where he had seen it...

After passing through a dimly lit corridor, they finally arrived at a room deep in the building. After the Yamada brothers reported to the inside of the house at the same time, they opened the door and motioned for them to go in.

What came into view was a typical Japanese-style home, with an old man lying in a wheelchair, looking at the few people. It was hard to see his expression in his cloudy eyes, but the moment he saw the few people, his expression was obviously a little excited.

“You’re here…”

The voice that spoke these words sounded extremely old, as if he would die in the next second... Obito's scalp went numb when he heard it, and even though he often helped the elderly, he couldn't help but be shocked.

When Minato saw this old face and carefully identified it, his expression suddenly became somewhat unbelievable...

"You are... the former daimyo?"

"It is me... My name is Aoki Yuzen, and I am the former daimyo of the Land of Fire."

"this..."

Minato now remembered that the surname Aoki was the surname of the original daimyo family, but the records said that the daimyo died of illness and handed over power to his adopted son. That adopted son seemed to be the current daimyo...

"You are the current Hokage, right? I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Don't mind my appearance. My time is coming to an end. Now my only wish is to find my daughter's descendants. She was alone when she left... It took us many years to find her whereabouts, but unfortunately by then it was already..."

The old man looked painful as he began to explain what had happened that year.

During the turmoil, his son and daughter were missing. When he found his daughter's whereabouts, he found only two graves. But he also learned an important piece of information, that is, his daughter left descendants, and they are likely still alive...

So he has been looking for it all these years, but unfortunately the Aoki family is no longer the so-called daimyofu. As early as more than ten years ago, the daimyofu had become another family, so he has never been able to find people on a large scale.

"More than a decade ago...what was the situation in the Daimyo Prefecture? Why didn't you seek help from the Shinobi Village? The Sandaime-sama should have helped you..."

Minato could not understand the ins and outs of these things at all. There were too many doubts and too little information. After listening to the words of the former daimyo, Minato became even more confused.

"Because this is the Daimyo's family affair..." the old man said, glancing at Minato calmly, and then said, "Just like the Daimyo has always used the Ninja Village as a tool, the Ninja Village will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Daimyo. As long as there is no invasion by foreign enemies, the power struggle within the Daimyo has basically nothing to do with the Ninja Village. It's like, everyone is the same, just give money..."

Although this old man had retired a long time ago, there was a tone of superiority in his speech.

Minato looked at the old man with some surprise. It turned out that the relationship between the ninja village and the daimyo's mansion was so clear... This argument made some sense. After all, if the ninja intervened in such a matter, there would be no point at all except for the death of a large number of people.

After listening for a long time, Yu Yan roughly understood that the old man was the previous daimyo, and his adopted son was the current daimyo, but the handover process was not very beautiful, and the adopted son drove him out of power. Then he fell into bad luck, and even his mother suffered... In order to avoid the power struggle, he ran away from the daimyo's mansion alone.

Although I don't know how this old man is still alive, I'm afraid he won't live much longer. Although this old man is my grandfather in terms of blood relationship, I have never had a good impression of such a high-ranking person...

There was no other way, Yu Yan could only patiently ask: "I've been listening for a long time, but I still don't know why you want to see me?"

Hearing Yu Yan's words, the old man's eyes gradually became excited, and he said in a trembling voice: "Come back and inherit the glory of the Aoki family... and drive that bastard out of power now!"

"..."

Kakashi was speechless. Although this was someone else's business, he wanted to complain. Why did you just throw this kind of task to someone else... Not to mention that your family has nothing left, even if you are the current daimyo, would Yuyan really care about your boring power struggle?

But the old man said it well. Since the Daimyo Prefecture and the Ninja Village are just using each other, from the perspective of the Ninja Village, there is really nothing to get involved in such family affairs. It is just a fight between a group of ordinary people.

"It can't be done."

Yu Yan was very disappointed. So this is the kind of people the so-called Aoki family is... He suddenly understood why his mother ran away desperately. This kind of guy is simply amazing. He would talk about inheriting the glory when he disagrees with others. He puts pressure on others. It's really annoying.

"No, no... Only you can inherit the Daimyo Mansion. The current Daimyo Mansion has been taken away by someone... As a child of the Aoki family, you have the responsibility to take it back for the family... cough cough cough..."

As the old man got excited, he began to cough violently and looked even more listless.

"I do not want!"

Yu Yan didn't want to stay any longer, and continued, "I am an independent individual, and I have never had any family. Even if I do, it is only the Mori clan. My last name is Senju, not Aoki. If there is nothing else... we will take our leave first."

After saying that, Yu Yan was ready to turn around and leave. Although there are still many doubts that have not been solved, the tone of this old man is really uncomfortable. Although the current daimyo is not a good guy, it is because of these guys that my mother had to flee the daimyo's mansion.

"The Aoki family still has some remaining assets hidden away, and they can help you accomplish all this... What's wrong with you becoming a daimyo yourself after you succeed? You can own the wealth of the entire Land of Fire!"

The old man saw Yu Yan was about to leave, his eyes full of disbelief, is there anything more important than power and wealth in this world? In his impression, with this legitimate identity, he can have wealth by himself, isn't this good?

"Thank you, I don't care..."

After that, Yu Yan walked out of the room, leaving the old man with a shocked expression...
