Repeating it to himself, Obito nodded heavily, patted his chest with a confident face and promised: "The Fourth Generation, don't worry, I, Obito, will definitely get to the bottom of this evil cult."
As a Konoha chuunin, although Obito is nominally under the leadership of the fifth generation Namami Feng Minato, his behavior is always closer to the fourth generation Lei Luo, and the tendency is extremely obvious.
This is not only due to Lei Luo's attitude towards him after awakening Kaleidoscope, tilting resources, and decisively resurrecting Lin. This series of measures successfully aroused Obito's goodwill, but also...
Obito's own ideals are at work.
The Uchiha boy who is unwilling to be ordinary, as long as he sees an opportunity, he will definitely find a way to seize it. Obito's goal is the Prime Minister of the Empire, and who can help him achieve his goal, and who can provide him with an opportunity...
There is no doubt that only fourth generation adults can do it.
After all, even if Lei Luo is no longer the Hokage, this only proves that the Prime Minister does not have that much energy to take care of specific matters. He is still the helmsman of the huge empire of the Fire Country.
After the reform, Konoha, Roots, and Military Regions, including all domestic and foreign armed forces, are all under the leadership of the three departments of the Congress, the Cabinet, and the Judiciary. The Hokage is naturally a part of this political system.
In a sense, the Fifth Generation is still essentially a subordinate of the Prime Minister.
It's just that Lei Luo will no longer command Minato at will. At the same time, he will not allow the Congress and the Judiciary to interfere in the management of the village, giving Minato a lot of autonomy to try to ensure that Konoha will not be eroded by capital forces.
Although Obito doesn't understand the essence of capitalism or the connotation of the system of separation of powers, he does know one thing, that is, living with the fourth generation of adults will definitely have a better future than living with the fifth generation of adults.
The sky is big and the earth is big, Mr. Prime Minister is the biggest.
"Obito, the Evil God Cult is not simple."
"So, I suggest you be more cautious."
Noticing that Obito seemed to be very swollen, Lei Luo gave a faint reminder. At that moment, the two of them walked out of the Hokage Building and met a middle-aged man in black who came quickly and waved to him.
"In addition, you also have a teammate, or captain."
Looking along Lei Luo's line of sight, after seeing the man's appearance clearly, his slightly unhappy expression was replaced by surprise and astonishment. Obito couldn't help but exclaimed:
"On behalf of the Hokage... no, Master Cang, you..."
The man in a black trench coat was none other than the former Hokage and the current Minister of Intelligence, Uchiha Ao. He first nodded respectfully to Lei Luo, then turned to look at Obito, who was full of surprise.
"Obito, I am your captain for this mission."
"Next, please take care of me."
Uchiha Aoi was smiling and had no intention of looking down on Obito, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. His words not only reflected full respect, but also revealed the aura of a leader who was neither humble nor overbearing.
Regarding the fact that Lei Luo arranged for him to serve as the Minister of Intelligence, Uchiha Ao was both excited and frightened in his heart. This was because both the Ministry of Roots and the Intelligence Department were currently served as ministers by Uchiha clan ninjas. This phenomenon...
If you think about it casually, you will know that he is very feared by those in power.
No one knows what Lei Luo thinks, and no one dares to ask. Uchiha Cang and Fugaku have been in the officialdom of the Fire Country for a long time. Although they are grateful to Lei Luo for his unreserved reuse, at the same time...
We also try our best to maintain the tacit understanding we should have, whether it is work or life. If it is not necessary, we almost never contact each other. Even if we meet on the street, we just say hello and forget it.
As for Lei Luo's plan... He promotes talents purely based on ability. Unfortunately, Fugaku and Cang are top-notch, have made enough contributions, and have extremely rich work experience. If they are not allowed to take the position, who will be?
Besides, many tasks like this kind of intelligence work are very dirty, and people such as Jiraiya, Tsunade Nezuki and others are completely unable to do it well. Lei Luo understands this very well, so naturally he can only appoint the best.
"Cang, Obito is very capable. For this mission of yours, first of all, you need to plan a plan of action, and secondly, you need to teach Obito some real skills. I won't go into details. You should already know it."
Uchiha Ao nodded clearly. Seeing that Lei Luo had nothing to add later, he accepted the task in a deep voice. Finally, he called Obito over, exchanged a few polite words with each other, and Uchiha Ao and Obito left together.
Watching the two Uchiha ninjas, one big and one small, walk away, Lei Luo stood there for a while until his back disappeared, then turned around and left, walking along another street.
Along the way, many Konoha villagers saw Lei Luo and stopped to say hello respectfully. It wasn't until Lei Luo nodded and walked away that they started talking in low voices with the acquaintances around them.
"It's really surprising that Hokage-sama passed on the fifth generation position to Minato-sama when he was only in his thirties."
"This shows that Hokage-sama is not a man who loves power."
"Shh... we can't call you Hokage-sama now, you should call him Yondaime-sama."
"Is there anything you can't say?"
"Yes, Hokage-sama will always be Hokage-sama. In my heart, the Hokage-sama who has achieved today's achievements should enjoy this title for life."
"You're right, if Minato-sama wants to achieve what Hokage-sama has achieved, he won't be able to achieve it even if he works hard for more than ten years."
"Do you have any misunderstanding about the word achievement? It can't be achieved by relying on qualifications, right?"
Regarding the faint chatter coming from the streets and alleys behind him, Lei Luo's face did not waver, and even his heart did not have any waves. He just walked forward silently, nodding slightly when he saw hello and forgetting it.
After experiencing countless storms and waves, Lei Luo has already passed the age where he would be excited when others judge him. After Guanghui's analysis, he now knows what his pursuit is.
Walking through the streets and alleys, witnessing the comfortable life of Konoha villagers, Lei Luo seemed to be infected. His pace was no longer as hasty as before, but became leisurely, and his mood became much calmer.
By handing over the position of the Fifth Generation to Minato, he no longer has to worry about the affairs of the village. There is no war, and the work of the prime minister can be left to the staff. Lei Luo, who has nothing to do and is light-hearted, has a rare experience of what life is like.
Peace...this sweet taste is really refreshing.
Thinking about it, a smile appeared on the corner of Lei Luo's mouth. Unknowingly, he walked to the door of a large courtyard, took out the key and unlocked it, stepped into his new home, and soon found the person who was taking care of Linglong.
Guanghui.
After opening the door, he changed out of his Hokage robe and put on the black kimono hanging on the hanger. Lei Luo stepped into the entrance hall and carefully stood behind Guanghui.
"How is your daughter?"
Looking at the little Linglong wrapped in swaddling clothes on the tatami, Lei Luo asked with a smile. Without waiting for Guanghui's answer, he stretched out his fingers and pinched his daughter's nose.
Unexpectedly, the sleeping pink face quickly wrinkled its brows, as if feeling discomfort at the tip of its nose, and burst into tears, which immediately made Lei Luo extremely embarrassed.
