Chapter 20: Mizumon Patriarch?

Namikaze Minato? Acting Chief of the Kusa Sen Clan?

"I have decided to arrange Namikaze Minato as the acting chief of your Kusa Sen Clan" This sentence kept circling in Liu Yu's mind.

Namikaze Minato is going to become the acting chief of the Kusa Sen Clan? What is the third generation planning?

The Kusa Sen Clan's current position in Konoha is very awkward. If a ninja with a strong reputation in Konoha Village serves as the acting chief of the Kusa Sen Clan, the awkward situation of the Kusa Sen Clan in Konoha can indeed be greatly improved!

When talking about the acting chief, Liu Yu made a lot of guesses about the candidate that the third generation will propose.

Is this acting chief of the Kusa Sen Clan from a civilian ninja or a family ninja? First of all, it is unlikely that the family ninja will be the one.

If the Kusa Sen Clan is handed over to a ninja from a family, it will be well cultivated. This will undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of the family, which will break the balance between the strengths of the existing ninja families in Konoha.

Politics is all about balance. One of the important reasons why the Uchiha clan was destroyed was because there was no ninja family in Konoha that could compete with them. The mismatch between the family's strength and status made the Uchiha clan feel excluded, and eventually evolved into an irreconcilable contradiction between the Uchiha clan and the Konoha high-level. Similarly, the Kusanagi clan of Kusagakure Village was destroyed for similar reasons.

Since ninjas from big families are impossible, then it can only be ninjas from civilians. Orochimaru? The third generation probably won't trust Orochimaru. Jiraiya? This guy is used to being idle, and he probably won't take over the Kusanagi clan. Tsunade? It's still unknown where she is wandering with Shizune. After thinking about it, only Namikaze Minato, who has deeply understood the true meaning of the will of fire, is the most suitable.

In terms of capital, Namikaze Minato was taught by Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, and has accumulated enough reputation in this war. Moreover, he is tolerant and kind, loves the village and his companions, and has a strong affinity, which is quite recognized by the villagers.

Now it seems that the third generation may have been preparing for Minato Namikaze to take over. Konoha suffered too much loss in this war, and has not yet gotten out of the predicament. Although the current situation is not entirely the fault of the third generation Hokage, someone has to stand up and take this responsibility. The resignation of the third generation Hokage is inevitable. It is estimated that once the war eases, Danzo and others will jump out.

Now hearing the decision of the third generation, Liu Yu began to think carefully about the reason why the third generation did this. Is it to cultivate confidants for Minato? If from the perspective of cultivating confidants, the Kusanagi clan is indeed a good choice. As a famous ninja family in the ninja world, the unique bloodline of the Kusanagi clan is indeed a capital to be proud of. Especially now that the Kusanagi clan only has a group of children left, it is easy to control. If such a group of children is well cultivated, they will be a good fighting force in the future.

After the abdication of the third generation, he did not retreat directly behind the scenes, but helped Minato handle government affairs for quite a long time. In addition to helping Minato get familiar with the work of Hokage faster, it is estimated that there are also factors that help Minato suppress the influence of Danzo and the Elders.

At the same time, it can also better integrate the Kusanagi clan into Konoha, which is indeed a feasible and good way.

"So, are you willing to let Minato temporarily serve as the acting patriarch of the Kusanagi clan?" The third generation asked kindly, but there was a hint of rejection.

To be honest, for a large family, letting an outsider serve as the patriarch of the clan, even as an acting patriarch, will make the entire family feel ashamed, and this kind of thing will never happen. However, the Kusanagi clan is now headed by Liu Yu, who does not have too many family burdens, and the group of children below will not have any objections.

If Namikaze Minato becomes Hokage in the future, it will also be of great benefit to the Kusanagi clan. Although Minato can be said to be the shortest-lived Hokage in the history of Konoha. But as long as the Kusanagi clan establishes the image of being a part of Konoha, is trusted by the Konoha high-level officials, and is no longer as ambitious as the Uchiha clan in the future, they can naturally stay in Konoha. Just wait for the protagonists to save the world in the future.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu pretended to be excited and said, "Is it really possible? Let Brother Minato be our clan leader? Won't this matter bother him?" Liu Yu deliberately removed the word "acting".

"Well, of course, Minato is a person who loves the village and his companions. Facing you, I believe Minato will not refuse." Seeing that Liu Yu had no intention of objecting, the third generation naturally replied kindly.

"In this case, then it's troublesome!" Liu Yu bowed respectfully and thanked. As a child from a big family, Liu Yu is impeccable in terms of etiquette.

"Well! There is one more thing I want to trouble you with," the third generation made another request.

"Sir, please go ahead." Liu Yu said respectfully.

"Konoha was jointly established by various ninja clans. As the ninja force 'Anbu' directly under the Hokage, it is also full of ninjas from various major clans in Konoha. In this regard, I hope that the Kusa Sen clan will not be an exception and can select suitable clan members to join the Anbu." The second purpose of the third generation was finally revealed.

The top combat power of the Kusa Sen clan is Kusa Sen Liu Yu, Kusa Sen Fudou, and Kusa Sen Nako who disappeared after the clan was exterminated. As for the suitable candidates to join the Anbu, it is only himself and Kusa Sen Fudou.

Since the Third Generation came to talk about this in person, at least there is no need to worry about Danzo's disgusting "Tongue Trouble Root Seal". Joining the Anbu can allow the Kusanagi clan to better integrate into Konoha, so Liu Yu did not want to refuse this matter. What needs to be entangled is who will join the Anbu.

"Third Generation. Can you let me think about the candidate carefully?" Liu Yu asked.

"No need, I have already talked to your brother Kusanagi Fudo before you woke up. He recommended himself and said that he would go to the Anbu as long as you are discharged from the hospital." The Third Generation said directly.

"What? You have decided everything, why are you still asking me hypocritically? Aren't you kidding me?" Liu Yu said speechlessly in his heart.

"Then Third Generation, do you have anything else to tell me?" Liu Yu asked directly with a little girl's temper.

"No, no, I came here today for these two things." The Third Generation replied with a smile.

The cool breeze blew in silence, and the moonlight slowly seeped into the ward. Liu Yu on the bed did not fall asleep, but carefully thought about the two decisions made today.

Namikaze Minato will become the acting patriarch of the Kusa Sen clan, and Kusa Sen Fudo will join the Anbu. These two things can help the Kusa Sen clan better integrate into Konoha, so Liu Yu did not reject anything in his heart. Since Konoha cannot resist the arrangement of the Kusa Sen clan, just accept it! Anyway, there is no loss.

After thinking for a long time, the girl finally fell asleep after feeling that there was nothing to worry about for the time being.
