Chapter 23 - Welcome to the family (1/2)
Smiling at the sharpness of Mikoto, Minato nodded ”Of course, even if you're angry, revenge and destruction are useless. It's true that what's they did is bad, but in the end, all of this is a result of the village's system. Instead, we should control Konoha, and later, all the other villages.”
”But how should we do that?” exclaimed Tsume, a bit perplexed.
”For that, we must first control all the big clans of Konoha, and one of us should become Hokage. And if Danzo and those greedy elders had an accident, it would be for the best no?”
A chill went down their spines, it seems that Minato truly has a plan to control all of Konoha. Here they were thinking of proving themselves while their own classmate was preparing some domination plans.
”In the end, you're not forced to help me. You're my friend, if you want to back out, I have made some seals that will erase the last thirty minutes of your memories” Explained Minato in a serious tone. 'It was a hassle to make them. But I already asked Mito to help me with those anti-betrayal seals, if I were to ask her for more she will begin to suspect things. She only accepted because she knew I mean no harm to Konoha.'
The three of them began to talk to each other, after all, it was no joke, a wrong move and they will all be branded traitors. But in the end, it's better to control than to be controlled. And if Minato lied to them? He has no reason to do that at all, and they trust him. In the end, their small group of friends is more of a family than their own, so it's hard to not trust each other. For his strange knowledge on Hashirama and Madara, they attributed it to Mito telling him. And for how he knew so much on the time before the Rikudo Sennin? Every family has their secrets, and from what he said earlier, his family seemed to be powerful if people schemed against his mother. So it's not farfetched to think that he could have some records from that time.
”We will do it” they exclaimed in unison.
”Good, you know that even if I cherish you, I still have trust issues because of my past. My heart trusts you three but not my mind. And not even speaking of the fact that we're in a ninja village where only sealed secrets can be kept. So here” Taking 3 seals outs of his lotus tattoo, he spread one before each of them ”Mito helped me to do them, if you push chakra into those seals, you will be unable to betray me anymore. You will still have full liberty over your actions, but if you do or say anything in the goal of harming me, the seal will erase all your memories of me” 'And I will come to exterminate you, but you don't need to know that' ”And if you're caught and mind-raped by a Yamanaka, all the memories that you have of anything relating to my plans will be hidden till the person exit your mind.”
Kushina hesitated but still spoke, ”It means we can't even try to beat you?”
Laughing, Minato replied ”Don't worry about that, I speak of a real threat, not fight between friends. Even if you beat me half dead, if you can that is, it will not do anything if you do not have real nefarious thoughts against me”
Hearing that, Tsume and Kushina nodded at each other, thinking the same thing 'We will definitely beat him to the ground one day, we must have our revenge on all the pranks he played on us. All our acts of revenge till now were seen through by him, but with his training, maybe we could discover the secret to his intuition'
”And can we still go against you if someday we disagree?” Mikoto asked this sensible question.
