Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

At night, after dinner.

Kushina returned home first.

Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Yi were strolling on the streets of Konoha.

After the two chatted for a while, Uchiha Yi glanced at Minato and naturally talked about the Root's false information.

Uchiha Yi lowered his voice and said: "Senior Minato, Danzo doesn't seem to have been punished."

After hearing this, Minato Namikaze sighed softly and his expression became complicated.

He looked up at the moonlight, was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Hokage-sama may have some concerns, so..."

"Hokage-sama has worked with Danzo for so many years. The Hokage should know very well what kind of person Danzo is. The fact that Danzo can be so presumptuous is due to the Hokage's connivance."

"The village's top brass... there are things I don't understand."

"Sakumo-sensei's suicide was also done by that guy Danzo. I will never let him go."

"Yi, you..."

"Minato-senpai, do you think the current village is truly in line with the Will of Fire? Why do I only see the sacrifice of young people?"

"I also know about the problems of the village... But don't worry, Konoha is the village I love deeply. I will definitely change everything. Please believe me."

"Minato-senpai, can you really change this?"

Uchiha Yi raised his head slightly and glanced at Minato with a complicated look in his eyes.

"I, I don't know either."

After a moment of silence, Minato adjusted his breathing, then raised his head, a firm determination flashed in his eyes, "But I will try my best, even if it means my life."

After saying that, Minato reached out and patted Yi's shoulder, and said firmly: "Believe me, Yi, believe in the will of fire, I will try my best to change all this!"

Looking at Minato's determined face, although Uchiha Yi did not comment in his heart, on the surface, he nodded slightly, as if he was convinced by Minato.

But he knew in his heart that Minato's style of doing things was too upright and idealistic.

Some things cannot be changed without drastic measures.

……

the next day.

To celebrate Minato's discharge from hospital, Minato's team invited Uchiha Yi's team to dinner.

"Teacher Minato, your injury healed so quickly? I saw you unconscious that day and thought it was very serious." Obito said while eating.

"I've fully recovered! Don't worry, everyone." Minato smiled.

"By the way, there's such a big problem with the intelligence on this mission, doesn't the Root have any explanation?" Inuzukagawa looked dissatisfied.

"It is said that the four Root members committed suicide out of fear of punishment, but..." Kakashi's eyes flickered, and he had many guesses in his mind.

"Ah? They committed suicide?" Nohara Lin exclaimed, very surprised.

When Obito heard this, he stopped what he was doing, frowned slightly, and uttered a few words after a long while: "Even if the intelligence we found is wrong, there is no need to..."

"Hmph, it's not an intelligence error, Obito, do you think they really committed suicide?" Kushina snorted coldly, gritting her teeth.

"Hokage-sama summoned me to explain the matter. He was very sorry for the Root's mistake and also punished Danzo." Minato said in a low voice, his expression slightly solemn.

Listening to the discussion of several people, Uchiha Yi had a very cold expression and said nothing.

The village leaders will definitely not make the truth of this matter public.

If the news that a high-level advisor framed the soldiers on the front line were to spread, it would be a severe blow to the prestige of the village's top brass.

The final result was that the four Root ninjas could only take the blame, and Danzo's responsibility was for not managing his subordinates well enough.

This is what is called considering the overall situation.

Given Minato's personality, the Third Hokage could have just given him a few words of instruction and the matter would have been over.

"By the way, Yi, there is one more thing."

Namikaze Minato changed the subject, looked at Uchiha Yi, patted his shoulder, and said: "Hokage has officially approved your promotion to the rank of Jonin directly under the Hokage, and you will be listed in the Anbu as a squad leader."

"Direct jonin? Anbu captain?"

Uchiha Yi was slightly startled, with a look of doubt between his brows.

When Namikaze Minato told the news, Obito, Inuzuka River, Hinata Shiori and the others did not react much.

In their opinion, Uchiha Yi's strength has already surpassed that of ordinary jonin, so it is not surprising even if he serves as the captain of the Anbu.

"Oh? You're so young and you're already serving as a jonin directly under the Hokage. The younger generation in the village are really amazing now."

At a table not far from Minato Namikaze and his companions, a middle-aged man had a very surprised expression. He was wearing a ninja hat, a black tight combat suit, and a green jonin vest on the outside.

"Shinku-senpai?"

Minato recognized the man and greeted him.

This middle-aged man is Yuhi Shinku, a veteran jonin in the village.

"red?"

Obito glanced around and recognized the curly-haired girl opposite Yuhi Shinku.

"Hello everyone, long time no see."

Kurenai Yuhi stood up with a gentle smile on her face and waved to Obito and the others.

Her red eyes stayed on Uchiha Yi's face for a moment longer, and she said with a smile: "Yi, I didn't expect you to be a jonin so soon. You are worthy of being the most powerful one in our class."

Uchiha Yi smiled and nodded slightly in greeting.

In this life, he was promoted to Jonin earlier than Kakashi, and at the age of 12, he became the youngest Jonin in Konoha's history.

"A direct jonin is not just any jonin."

Yuhi Shinku is nearly forty years old and is one of the few older jonin in Konoha Village, so he is very familiar with the village's hierarchy.

"Direct jonin are not under the jurisdiction of any department, they report directly to the Hokage. Not even the advisory elders have the authority to transfer them."

"This status is much higher than that of an ordinary jonin."

Looking at the young man not far away, Xi Ri Zhenhong felt a little emotional.

It is obvious that the Hokage attaches great importance to Uchiha Yi and has already incorporated him into the core of the Hokage lineage.

Serving as the captain of the Anbu means becoming a direct descendant of the Hokage.

A disciple of Konoha White Fang.

It seems that this young man is very likely to inherit Shumao's original position in the future.

After listening to Yuhi Shinku's explanation, the people present finally understood what the direct-subordinate jonin meant.

"He seems very impressive. I have to keep working hard and not fall too far behind Yi!" Obito muttered with envy on his face.

"Hmph, with your ability, you may not even have a chance to be promoted to a jonin." Kakashi snorted coldly and said mercilessly.

"You underestimate me again, Kakashi!" Obito glared at Kakashi in dissatisfaction.

"Who told you to be so ignorant?"

"Damn it, Yi really recognizes my strength!"

"Idiot, can't you even understand politeness?"

Watching the two bickering, Kushina chuckled, "Obito needs to work harder. With Kakashi's strength, he should be promoted to a special jonin soon."
