Kushina for me even though I want to vote for Minato. my reason- I feel like saving Kushina would be smart since you’ll eventually have orochimaru attack during the chunin exam and he will eventually go against the Hiruzren, which is where the old man dies, he’ll also get his mom. For the dad, if he was to be saved then I don’t think orochimaru would even have a chance against him in fight unless Minato was gravely injured, hiruzen was still the hokage like the anime. It’s your fic though, you can do what you want with it
