Naruto: I become Jinchūriki and Ophis is sealed on me!

And if it came to that, Xin wouldn't mind becoming a wandering ninja.

Should that happen, he'd make sure Ophis came back to visit Konoha from time to time, just to remind them he was still around.

Every now and then, he might drop a few Energy Bombs on Konoha and see how long they could hold out.

He could even take Kushina with him.

Xin was confident he could convince Kushina.

Not to mention, Kushina already had some ambiguous feelings toward him. If he told her about how Konoha had fueled the destruction of the Uzumaki clan and betrayed them, Kushina might not want to stay in Konoha anymore.

"Cough, cough!"

Xin spoke openly about certain threats, while Uchiha Mikoto remained unfazed, but Minato looked awkward, quickly coughing to cover his discomfort.

After all, his teacher Jiraiya was a disciple of the Third Hokage.

Logically, that put Minato closer to the Third Hokage's side, and Xin's words made him uneasy.

Besides, it was better to avoid such discussions. If someone overheard and reported it to the Hokage's office, Xin could find himself in serious trouble.

Minato didn't know Xin had Ophis as a hidden ace, so he was worried about unnecessary risks.

"Xin, not everyone has a negative view of the Uchiha," Minato said gently, choosing his words carefully.

"And besides, you're not really part of the Uchiha clan, and I'm sure Mikoto won't face any particular targeting either."

"Targeting someone like Uchiha Mikoto wouldn't make any sense to the higher-ups. It would only deepen the rift between the Uchiha and the village, and it would be shameful if word got out."

"Besides, the village's issues were with the entire Uchiha clan, not just an individual."

"I know."

Xin shrugged, pointing at himself. "But the fact that I have Uchiha blood is enough for some people. Whether I return to the Uchiha clan or not doesn't really matter. In fact, not returning might make some people even audacious."

Is it really that serious?

Minato wasn't sure.

But he trusted that Xin wouldn't be cautious for no reason.

There's no such thing as love or hate without cause.

Some things are just too complicated to explain.

"That's all I've got. Once the village sends out the official notification, we'll be a full-fledged Chunin team. We can start taking on higher-ranked missions and won't have to stick to C- rank ones anymore."

"I'm done talking. Do you guys have anything to add?" Xin asked, looking at Uchiha Mikoto and then at Minato.

Uchiha Mikoto smiled and shook her head, indicating she had nothing to add.

Xin's decision was her decision.

If you guys have nothing to say, what else could I possibly add? Let's just roll with it.

After hanging out with Xin for so long, Minato had already learned to go with the flow.
