Starting the fourth generation Hokage

After completing the task, Kakashi quickly resigned, and suddenly only Namikaze Minato and Kabuto were left in the office.

Of course, there is a blue toad next to the table who is taking a nap with a scroll on his back...

Kabuto looked very reserved, secretly looking at the environment in the office, and finally his curious eyes fell on Toad Xi.

"It seems like you and Kakashi get along pretty well..."

Namikaze Minato put down the scroll in his hand, turned to look at the short-haired boy in front of him with gentle eyes and smiled.

Recently, Kakashi's autistic state has significantly eased, which is obvious to all. Even his good friend, Metkai, specifically told Namikaze Minato about this the last time he came over.

In order to guide Kakashi, the original Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato also took great pains.

In addition to arranging for him to be Kushina's escort during her pregnancy, she also made a special effort to understand his interpersonal relationships.

I heard that Chuunin Metkai had a special relationship with Kakashi and was very close, so he made an agreement with him to report on Kakashi's current situation every once in a while.

Metkai had just arrived two days ago.

At this time, Namikaze Minato's eyes turned to Kabuto again, only to find that the child still looked quiet and silent.

As a last resort, he had no choice but to take the initiative and ask: "You completed the mission very well this time. I heard that you left the orphanage voluntarily. Do you want to go back now?"

"Can I... go back?"

When he heard that he could go back, a look of surprise suddenly flashed across Kabuto's eyes, and he obviously couldn't believe what he heard.

After coming out of the orphanage, he thought he had basically said goodbye to the director and the children in the orphanage who had lived together for several years. Let alone going back, it would be a blessing if he could see them again in the future.

After all, after entering the root, he has been instilled with the concept of what a root is.

"The so-called "roots" have no names and no emotions. They have no past and no future. They only have missions in their hearts. What supports the big tree of Konoha Village behind it is something deeply rooted in the earth... We wait" Root" will."

In the first lesson before the training, the root member named Terai said this to him.

Seeing that Kabuto was finally moved, Namikaze Minato finally understood his inner thoughts and said with certainty: "Of course, you no longer belong to the root."

"Your new identity is that of a member of the Leaf Village."

When he heard the word "Konoha Village", Kabuto suddenly felt confused.

At this moment, the office door suddenly opened from the outside, and a blond woman wearing an ANBU costume and a cat-face mask hurried in.

When she saw Kabuto standing in the office, the woman couldn't hide the joy in her eyes, but she still didn't forget the etiquette, and first bowed to Minato Namikaze on the main seat.

"Lord Hokage..."

"You came so quickly, Nonou." Minato Namikaze just smiled and nodded, and stopped interrupting the conversation between the two.

Of course, he informed the pharmacist Nonoyu about Kabuto's return today, so she came over after hearing the news.

"Dean? Is that you?"

Looking at the familiar figure of the woman, Kabuto recognized the Anbu's identity even though it was hidden by armor and mask.

Hearing this, the pharmacist Nonoyu also took off his mask, showing a worried look. After carefully checking his pocket, he found that he didn't seem to be injured. He finally took a breath and said with a smile: "I'll be back safely when I get back." good"

Then she gently stroked Kabuto's head, and Kabuto's dull face finally showed the same joy.

Sure enough, the only place Kabuto longed for, and the people he cared about most in the world, was the orphanage and the pharmacist Nonou.

Later, Nonoyu mentioned that the orphanage had been merged into Konoha. Kabuto was slightly surprised when he heard it, but he didn't show any objection.

"Director, Hokage-sama has agreed for me to return to the orphanage. I can live with everyone again."

"Really? Then you have to thank Hokage-sama."

Yakushi Nonou smiled lovingly, and then like Kabuto, he once again cast a grateful look at Minato Namikaze.

At the same time, he continued: "The decision to move the orphanage to Konoha is also the decision of Lord Hokage."

"In the future, with the protection of the village, everyone no longer has to worry about safety issues."

Yakushi Kabuto perked up after hearing this, and for the first time his face showed sincere gratitude. He suddenly bowed solemnly to Namikaze Minato: "Thank you very much, Hokage-sama..."

Seeing this, Namikaze Minato felt a little embarrassed and could only smile: "I just accidentally learned that there is such a place outside Konoha that shelters children displaced by the war."

"As Hokage, I have an obligation to represent Konoha and help you."

At present, it seems that this wave of good feelings towards me should be almost full.

But this was only the first step. He knew very well that Kabuto Yakushi had amazing talents in both medical ninjutsu and scientific research technology.

If you just save him from Danzo, then at most it will eliminate a huge hidden danger for Konoha and the ninja world in advance.

And his purpose is naturally not limited to this.

After a thought, Namikaze Minato saw that the time was almost up, so he cut to the chase and asked, "I have already investigated and found that the children in the orphanage are generally between five and ten years old."

"At this age, normally you are old enough to enter a ninja school."

"Kabuto, do you want to become a Konoha ninja?"

This question was obviously a bit unexpected. Even Yakushi Noonoyu did not expect that Namikaze Minato would suddenly ask this.

The situation in the orphanage is actually very special, because basically all the children have lost their families due to the war, so most of the children are resistant to ninjas.

This made Noonoyu a little worried whether the issue of Namikaze Minato would arouse Kabuto's resentment.

Namikaze Minato was actually aware of this at this moment, and explained instead: "This is not mandatory..."

"All children in orphanages are free to choose."

"Of course, becoming a ninja actually requires talent. So even if you are determined to enter a ninja school, you must meet the school's admission standards..."

"I just heard from Kakashi that you have the talent to become an excellent ninja, so I wanted to ask you if you are willing to do so."

After Namikaze Minato finished explaining, he looked at Kabuto with his eyes twinkling like Yakushi Nonou's, waiting for his answer.

In fact, this kind of thing cannot be forced.

Kabuto Yakushi in the original work, from the moment he stepped out of the orphanage, he lived his whole life to find the meaning of his existence.

At this time, if you have achieved comfortable living conditions, you may not choose to enter the world of ninjas again.

After all, being able to live peacefully in Konoha and being a civilian is actually very happy.

Kabuto was obviously hesitant and fell silent for a moment.

Just when Yakushi Nonou and Namikaze Minato felt that he might refuse, Kabuto's eyes under the frame suddenly flashed a look of determination. He first glanced at Nonou who was smiling lightly next to him, and then Looking at Namikaze Minato, he turned to say seriously: "Hokage-sama, I want to become a ninja..."
