[Naruto : Yellow Flash] Chapter 586 - 590
🕑 Added 2025-03-10 01:00:05 +0000 UTCChapter 586 I love you
At this moment, deafening cheers resounded throughout Konoha.
Under the Hokage Building, countless pairs of eyes were staring at the figure wearing a hokage robe on the top of the building.
He is so young and handsome.
However, in the Ninja World War that just ended, the blond man shined brightly, and with his unparalleled speed, he shocked the five countries.
Now, he has become the fourth Hokage of Konoha Ninja Village!
Although Minato is young, most people believe that under his leadership, Konoha will become more prosperous.
Just like in the war, he gradually led the disadvantaged Konoha to the final victory.
"From today on, you are the Hokage's teacher."
At the front of the Hokage Building, Sakumo glanced sideways at Jiraiya beside him and chuckled.
The first time he met Minato was at the Ninja Trial held by Konoha before the outbreak of the Second Ninja World War.
After that trial, Sakumo was just amazed at Minato's talent.
If Sakumo hadn't known that Jiraiya had already accepted him as a disciple, he would have wanted to teach Minato.
Jiraiya also showed a look of joy, but then he shrugged and said: "Although Minato is indeed my disciple, he was able to become Hokage not only because of my teachings."
As a teacher, Jiraiya did not teach Minato for a long time. Most of the time, he relied on himself to practice.
However, the so-called talent of a ninja does not only refer to ninjutsu and strength
. Minato has undoubtedly surpassed all the strong men of Konoha, including the third generation.
But his ninja way and will were undoubtedly inherited from Jiraiya.
Whether in the past or now, this kind of guidance of will is more important than teaching ninjutsu.
"You're lucky enough to have some self-awareness." Tsunade spat.
Jiraiya, Sakumo, Tsunade and others are all seniors who watched Minato grow up. Although their personalities and styles of doing things are different, there is no doubt that Minato learned the most precious things as a ninja from them.
Among the crowd, Uchiha Yoruki was also looking at Minato on the top of the building.
His expression was indifferent, just like when he was in ninja school.
But gradually, a smile appeared on that young and handsome face.
This smile attracted the attention of several people nearby, whose eyes flickered and they looked stunned.
In their impression, Minato and Uchiha Yoruki have been rivals since ninja school.
Now that Minato has become the Hokage, according to Uchiha Yoruki's previous personality, he should be very unconvinced or even angry.
Now, he actually smiled?
And how could such a sight be hidden from Uchiha Yoruki, who possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan? The latter's expression suddenly turned back to indifference, and his gaze turned away.
This startled the people who were looking at him at the moment, and they quickly looked away.
"But, it still seems a little unbelievable that our classmate became Hokage."
One of them said, but at this time, behind the crowd, a tall and beautiful female ninja came over and chuckled.
One raised her beautiful eyes, looked at Minato on the tall building, and said, "Didn't you guys notice it? I noticed it a long time ago."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Come to think of it, the first time I noticed Minato was because of her."
One of Minato's former classmates said, now moving his gaze towards Kushina who was standing at the front of the crowd with Jiraiya, Sakumo and the others.
As soon as this person finished speaking, the people around him shifted their gazes, nodded, and said, "Me too, Minato's expression at that time was really scary, I have never seen him like that before"
What they were referring to was the incident that happened in school on Kushina's first day of school.
Since then, Minato had given everyone the impression of being extremely gentle.
But that time, he was like a wild beast whose reverse scale was touched, revealing his true nature in front of everyone.
"It was also from that time that they seemed to have been together forever."
Takenouchi Rin said that during the Ninja Trial, if it were not for Kushina and Minato's intervention, she would have been eliminated by her senior who had become a Genin.
From that time on, there seemed to be an inseparable connection between the two
, and when they stood together, they were like the most perfect masterpiece of God.
On top of the Hokage Building, Minato turned his body slightly and looked at the Sandaime and the three elders not far behind him.
The Sandaime chuckled at him and nodded slightly.
The remaining elders, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, smiled bitterly, but Danzo's eyes were as gloomy as ever.
"Thank you."
Minato said to the Sandaime and the others, then turned around again and looked towards the Hokage Building.
"A long time ago, I once promised someone that I would fulfill my promise to her on the day I became Hokage."
Minato deliberately raised his voice so that his voice could be heard even by those who were farthest away from him.
As soon as the words fell, the expressions of everyone in front of the Hokage Building became stunned.
Only Kushina, who was standing with Sakumo, Jiraiya and others, trembled slightly when she heard the words. Her beautiful eyes were filled with ripples as she stared at the blond man in the Hokage Building.
The whole place fell silent again, waiting for Minato's next words.
Under the gaze of everyone, Minato's eyes fell on Kushina, and he said with a fluctuating voice: "Kushina, I love you!"
Minato's words floated out, and most people were stunned because they didn't know Kushina.
As for those who knew both Minato and Kushina, their eyes suddenly turned to the latter.
"I said, the day I become Hokage will be the day I propose to you!"
"So, will you marry me?"
Kushina's expression flickered, and many eyes were focused on her, but she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, or even care.
Because at this moment, the only person left in her eyes was Minato.
In front of the Uchiha clan's procession, Fugaku and Mikoto saw this and smiled at each other.
The former proposed to the latter when he became the patriarch of the Uchiha clan.
Now that Minato is the Hokage, he does the same thing as Fugaku.
But there is no doubt that the former's approach is more shocking than the latter.
In fact, Minato had just become Hokage, and it was not appropriate to announce private matters in such an occasion.
In the eyes of some people, this is not in line with Minato's usual rigorous style.
But others who are familiar with him know that when it comes to Kushina, Minato will throw away all his concerns.
Minato himself knew that his behavior might give those who were dissatisfied with him becoming Hokage a chance to talk about him.
But this was his promise to Kushina, and he had to keep it.
He was confident that he could eliminate those gossips with his own abilities.
At this moment, there was only each other in the eyes of both of them.
Kushina and Mikoto have different personalities, so she responded directly to Minato.
At that moment, she was certain of the answer in her heart.
She shouted loudly, not caring about other people's eyes
"Minato, I love you and I want to marry you!"
Chapter 587
Kushina shouted loudly, with a happy smile on her delicate face.
As she finished her words, Minato's figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
The latter was equally excited. Minato, who had just succeeded as Hokage and had established his authority in everyone's hearts, picked up Kushina.
"Very good!"
At this time, the two people looked like innocent children.
In the eyes of some people, Minato's actions in public have lost his dignity as Hokage.
But no matter what anyone thinks, they don't care.
Looking at the two people laughing in front of them, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Sakumo and Suzuka, all showed joy on their faces after a brief shock.
With what they saw, how could they not see the relationship between Kushina and Minato.
What they didn't expect was that after Minato succeeded as the Fourth Hokage, he would immediately propose to Kushina in front of everyone in Konoha.
Few people think they can achieve this kind of carefree attitude.
“This guy.”
The indifferent Uchiha Yoruki's face showed some helplessness.
"I actually feel unwilling to lose to such an idiot," he murmured, but there was no displeasure on his face.
Everyone in front of the Hokage Building was in an uproar.
After the joy, Minato put Kushina down from his arms, then took her hand and suddenly disappeared from the sight of Jiraiya and others.
The two appeared on top of the Hokage Building, in front of the Sandaime and others.
"Thank you, Sandaime-sama, for agreeing to my request."
Minato said, and beside him, Kushina also followed and nodded slightly at the Sandaime to show respect.
The former of course mentioned this to the Third Hokage before taking such action.
The Sandaime looked at the two people in front of him and chuckled, "You two have contributed so much to the village. It is only right that I agree to your request."
As a Konoha ninja, Minato made great achievements on the battlefield of the Third Ninja World War.
Kushina, as the vessel of the Nine-Tails, has become a Jinchūriki for more than ten years.
Her contribution is no less than that of any other Konoha ninja.
"I will immediately order someone to prepare a wedding for you two." The Sandaime looked at Minato and smiled, "Little guy, this will be considered a reward for your exploits."
"Thank you!"
Kushina and Minato both bowed deeply to the Third Hokage. Although the latter had become the leader of Konoha, it did not prevent him from respecting his predecessors.
"But I'm afraid you don't have time to prepare for your wedding. As the Hokage, you must familiarize yourself with all matters as soon as possible."
The Sandaime straightened his expression and said to Minato.
Upon hearing this, Minato nodded. This was his duty as the Hokage.
"I'm sorry, Kushina." He then looked at the person next to him with an apologetic look on his face.
"No, you have done enough for me. Becoming Hokage is the dream of both of us. For my sake, you have to work diligently and conscientiously."
Kushina smiled softly at Minato.
"Kushina"
Minato's heart trembled. What bride in this world wouldn't want her groom to accompany her?
Even Kushina was no exception, but she knew better what Hokage meant.
Minato couldn't help but hold Kushina's hand tighter, his deep blue eyes filled with tenderness.
The Hokage succession ceremony came to an end, and the crowd gathered in front of the Hokage Building gradually dispersed.
At the top of the building, Minato and Kushina left temporarily, leaving only the Sandaime and several high-ranking officials of Konoha.
"He just became Hokage and he's like this. Sooner or later, the Konohagakure will fall in his hands!"
Danzo said in a deep voice, and the expressions of the two senior advisors, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, were not very good.
Minato's approach was indeed inappropriate.
"The Fourth Hokage is the hero of the war that just ended, and Kushina is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. The two of them have contributed so much to this village. Shouldn't they get some rewards from us high-ranking officials?"
The Sandaime turned his eyes and said slowly: "Now that the war has just ended, there are not many tasks and important matters to be dealt with in the village. At this time, the joy brought by a grand wedding can release the tense nerves of the ninjas who have just experienced the war."
"Sometimes, even us old guys from the old days have to be a little flexible in our thinking, don't we?" Sandai said with a chuckle.
Hearing his words, Mizuto Kado En and Koharu Utatane's eyes froze for a moment, then they looked at each other and their eyes became calm, obviously agreeing with the Sandai's words.
"snort!"
Danzo snorted coldly, then turned and left
Two days later, it was the wedding day of Minato and Kushina.
Today, the entire Konoha is decorated with lights and colors. This is not an order from Konoha's top leaders, but a decoration made by the people and ninjas of Konoha on their own initiative for the Fourth Hokage.
The couple's wedding was held on the largest lawn in Konoha.
A large crowd gathered on the lawn, most of whom were ninjas. They had changed their usual attire and were now wearing formal dresses.
Even Itachi, who was only two years old, was no exception.
"Kakashi, you're so slow, the wedding is about to start."
Just when the wedding was about to begin, Kakashi arrived at the wedding scene. Seeing him coming, Shisui smiled.
"Um, sorry." Kakashi responded.
"We haven't finished our training for today yet. How about you spar with me again after the wedding?"
Shisui said that the last time he fought with Kakashi, although the latter was always at a disadvantage, until the end, there was still no winner.
Relying on the double magatama Sharingan, Shisui can suppress Kakashi, but the latter is strong. Although the Sharingan is strong, it also brings greater burden to the body in battle.
"Okay." Kakashi agreed to Shisui cheerfully.
"Brother Shisui, Brother Kakashi, can I watch your fight from the side for a while?"
Just then, Itachi, speaking in a childish voice, came up to the two of them.
Both of them were stunned when they heard this.
"There's no problem." Shisui exclaimed in astonishment. He and Kakashi knew their limits, so even if Itachi was watching, he wouldn't hurt him by mistake.
Although their speed is far inferior to that of Minato's level, it is definitely not weak.
No matter how amazing Itachi's talent was, if he wasn't strong enough, watching the two fight would not benefit his training at all.
"What are you talking about, little brats?"
Jiraiya had stood behind Kakashi and Shisui without him noticing, and as he spoke, he placed his hands on their heads and chuckled.
Shisui and Kakashi were both stunned, and just when they were about to answer, the atmosphere around them suddenly became quiet, and then everyone turned around one after another.
Several people also looked over. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the two figures who were gradually approaching here.
Chapter 588: Happiness and Pain
Under everyone's gaze, Minato and Kushina slowly walked over.
Looking at the two of them, everyone's eyes were filled with a feeling of amazement.
They were wearing extremely exquisite dresses.
Although Minato seemed to lack the heroic spirit of a ninja without the ninja forehead protector, he looked younger and more handsome. The gentle smile on his face made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.
Kushina's pretty face was lightly made up. Just as Minato had said before, she was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her. Her beautiful long red hair fluttered in the wind, making her look like a fairy walking out of a painting.
Behind the two of them, there were more than one maid of honor and bridesmaid.
They were also dressed in gorgeous clothes, but all eyes were focused on the two people in the front.
Looking at the guests on the lawn, Minato and Kushina seemed to have a telepathic connection. They turned around and smiled at each other.
Looking at the happy smile on Kushina's face, Minato's heart was filled with waves.
The memory that he didn't want would still come to his mind involuntarily.
Thinking of the bitter smile on Kushina's face at that time, his mood was no longer calm.
However, that was just his previous thought.
Now he can face that memory, because it is just a memory.
The person smiling sweetly in front of me is the reality.
This time, he will definitely protect this reality.
The tenderness in Minato's eyes became even stronger, he slowly stretched out his hand and held Kushina's hand.
The latter smiled sideways at him.
For Minato, Kushina's smile could calm all the irritable emotions in his heart.
Soon both of them turned their heads around. In the heart of the road they were walking on, the Third Hokage stood with his hands behind his back. He looked a little old, and there was also a big smile on his wrinkled face.
At this moment, a tall figure appeared beside the Sandaime, it was Jiraiya.
Both Minato and Kushina's parents died early, but to them, Jiraiya and the Third Hokage, as their teachers, are their relatives.
There is no need to say more about the relationship between Jiraiya and Minato. Although the Third Hokage sent people to bring Kushina back from the border of the Land of Fire and made her a jinchūriki, it was a helpless move.
He had to do it for the sake of the village.
Kushina didn't blame him at all. Instead, she was very grateful, because if she hadn't come to Konoha, she wouldn't have met her destined person.
Minato is the light of her life, so even though she bears the fate of being a Jinchūriki, her heart is filled with love.
On their path to growth, the Sandaime did everything they could.
Although Minato’s efforts are the most important to the current situation, if it weren’t for the Sandaime, Minato wouldn’t even have the chance to work hard.
The Sandaime and Jiraiya, the master and disciple, looked at each other and chuckled.
The boy and girl have become so outstanding without anyone noticing.
As elders, nothing can make them more gratified than this.
For everyone present at the wedding, the trauma caused by the war was gradually filled with happiness.
This is what life is like, growing up with pain, this is the Ninja.
Land of Rain.
Drip.
Under the gloomy sky, dense raindrops continued to fall.
This country seems to be crying, and it has been like this for years and has never changed.
At this time, somewhere in the Land of Rain, the land was covered with scars, as if an extremely fierce battle had just broken out.
The smoke of war was gradually fading away, and
the devastated land was gradually healed by the falling rain, and the corpses of ninjas were scattered everywhere.
Judging from their costumes, in addition to the ninjas from the Rain Village in the Land of Rain, there are also the Anbu costumes of the Konoha Village.
The faces of these dead were filled with fear and horror.
Before they died, they seemed to see the Rakshasa from hell.
In the center of the devastated earth, the ground was crushed by some powerful force.
“Hoohoo.”
At the edge of the broken earth, a red-haired man was gasping violently. He knelt on the ground with an extremely ferocious expression on his overly white face.
"Nagato."
At this time, the purple-haired woman fell beside the man, her voice sobbing.
But she also looked at the man's younger brother with a worried look. There were many holes in his clothes.
In front of Nagato was Yahiko's corpse.
There were water marks on his face, and as the rain fell more and more heavily, it was hard to tell whether they were traces of rain or tears.
"ah!!"
Looking at Yahiko in front of him, Nagato kept roaring like a mad beast. As he roared, the rain falling around him seemed to be shaken away.
The heart-wrenching pain almost made Nagato lose control.
He stretched out his palm, which was shaking violently.
“Huahua!”
At this moment, Nagato sensed something and immediately raised his eyes. In front of him and Konan, the space began to twist in a vortex, and a figure covered in a wide black robe emerged.
Konan was shocked and said, "It's you!!"
Nagato's eyes were fixed on the person in front of him.
"Now you should be able to understand what I said a little bit, right?"
The masked man said calmly, but Nagato's eyes suddenly narrowed when he heard it.
"Shinra Tensei!"
He suddenly raised his palm, and a terrible repulsive force suddenly appeared in front of him.
The masked man was unmoved by Nagato's sudden attack.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The powerful repulsive force seemed to directly penetrate the man in front of him, and then, following the direction of Nagato's palm, it stepped over Yahiko's body, and the ground collapsed in a straight line, extending for several meters.
The masked man glanced at the ground behind him that had just been destroyed by Nagato, and his scarlet eyes trembled slightly.
"Is this the power of the Rinnegan?"
Immediately, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes.
Nagato was slightly surprised that Shinra Tensei did not attack the masked man in front of him.
He turned his eyes, looked at Nagato and Konan, and said, "Do you want to know why Yahiko died?"
The expression on Konan's face instantly turned angry, and she said, "It was because the people of Konoha Village betrayed us, and that despicable Hanzo!"
Originally they thought that the current Konoha could be trusted.
But precisely because of this, they were plotted against by Konoha and Hanzo. If not for this, Yahiko would not have died.
Nagato remained silent, looking at the person in front of him.
"hehe."
After hearing what Konan said, the masked man chuckled contemptuously.
"You are really too naive."
"It is because of your naivety that Yahiko die!"
Chapter 589: Let the World Feel the Pain
"What did you say!?"
Konan said angrily, and under her wide sleeves, her hands suddenly clenched paper shurikens.
These actions of hers could not be hidden from the man in front of her, but the latter did not care and spoke again.
"All you know is that it was Konoha's people and Hanzo who plotted against you, leading to Yahiko's death."
"But you never thought about it. If it weren't for your naivety, how could you be schemed against by others?"
"In the end, you are too trusting of others."
These words immediately left Konan speechless.
Indeed, if they had been more vigilant, the current situation would not have occurred and Yahiko would not have died.
After all, you are still too young.
During the Third World War, Konoha was tolerant towards them, which allowed the civilians of the Land of Rain to avoid the disaster of being affected by the war again.
They think the world of ninja is too simple.
"Hanzo and Konoha, I will take revenge on them sooner or later!"
At this moment, Nagato suddenly raised his eyes, with a chill in them. Under the gaze of those Rinnegan, even the masked man in front of him couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
But in terms of eye techniques, even his Mangekyō Sharingan cannot compare to the Rinnegan, the eye possessed by the legendary Six Paths Sage.
However, this pair of eyes is not only possessed by the Six Paths Sage.
"Haha, the power you possess can indeed do this."
The masked man could not deny that the power of the Rinnegan was immeasurable.
The current Nagato has only just begun to realize his potential.
Even so, his current strength cannot be underestimated.
If it weren't for his ability, even the top ninjas wouldn't be able to remain unscathed.
He changed the subject and said, "But even if you avenge Hanzo and Konoha, what will happen?"
"Yahiko is dead, and death means the end"
"After you have taken revenge on Hanzo and Konoha, what are you going to do?"
Nagato's eyes brightened, and he said, "I will inherit Yahiko's will and fulfill his dream on his behalf."
"Is this Yahiko's dream?"
The masked man murmured, "Do people understand each other?"
"Do you think such a world really exists?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of Nagato and Konan in front of him flickered slightly.
"Since that is Yahiko's dream, we will definitely make it come true!" Konan said loudly.
Hearing this, Nagato nodded.
“To realize the dream?”
The masked man sneered and said, "You believed in the ninjas of Konoha, so you came here, and what is the result?"
"Yahiko is dead!"
"There is no mutual understanding between people in this world. The relationships between people are all based on interests."
"Konoha and Rain Ninja are supposed to be enemies, but they both see you as a threat, so the two enemies have united for their own benefit, with the goal of eliminating you."
"Be it Yahiko or the ninjas who died in the Ninja World War, they were all sacrificed to protect the interests of the village."
"There is no mutual understanding between such ninjas and the world."
"this"
Konan and Nagato were silent, their pupils were constricted, because what the masked man said was exactly the reality they had just experienced.
“There is only one way to promote mutual understanding among people.”
"That is absolute force!"
The masked man said: "Only by making the world submit to force can everyone in this world feel the same pain!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!?" Konan's face changed and he said immediately.
Nagato on the side fell into deep thought. From beginning to end, the masked man just observed his expression.
After a long time, Nagato slowly stood up, then stared at the man in front of him and said, "Tell me, what should I do?"
"Nagato."
Behind him, Konan looked worried.
Nagato turned his eyes back to look at Konan and said, "He is right. It is the current world that caused Yahiko's death and Yahiko's pain."
"So, I want the whole world to feel his pain. Only in this way can Yahiko's dream come true and the war end."
Seeing Nagato's reaction, the masked man smiled softly and said, "You have the Rinnegan. With your power, you can lead the world to peace."
"Didn't you just show this kind of power?"
The masked man chuckled. Just now, Nagato summoned the Outer Path Statue, just as Madara said.
"If we want to stand on top of the world, first we have to remove some unnecessary obstacles."
“.”
Konoha Village.
"I'm going out!"
At home, Minato gently embraced Kushina, kissed her on the forehead, and then said.
"Thanks a lot!"
Kushina raised her eyes and straightened Minato's collar.
Yesterday was their wedding day, and today, as the Hokage, Minato had to start dealing with the affairs of the village.
Unlike regular couples, they don't have that much time together.
Becoming Hokage is their common dream, and Minato and Kushina can understand each other on this point.
The two looked at each other, Minato nodded slightly, and in an instant, he disappeared from Kushina's sight.
Hokage's office.
"Fourth Hokage-sama!"
Minato appeared directly in the office. A few seconds later, the Konoha ninja who was sorting documents on the desk noticed him and said something respectfully.
"Good morning." Minato smiled warmly at him.
This reaction made the man slightly stunned, but he immediately smiled and said, "Good morning, you have worked hard."
Minato nodded and sat down at the desk. This feeling was not unfamiliar to him.
Although he was Hokage for a short time in his previous life, it was still more than a year.
He immediately picked up documents one by one from the table in front of him and began to read them.
The Third Ninja World War has just ended, so most of the documents here are about the handling of various post-war affairs.
For Minato, this was a familiar routine.
After all, in his previous life, he also became Hokage shortly after the war.
He started his first office work as Hokage in this life. In this situation, time kept passing.
The morning was about to pass, and just when Minato was about to finish processing all the documents on the desk, he sensed a familiar chakra fluctuation.
Minato immediately stood up, and at the same time the door to the Hokage's office opened, revealing the Third Hokage.
He had just become Hokage, and it was normal for the Third Hokage to be worried about the handling of some matters and come to check on him.
But things were not as Minato thought.
Because at this moment, the expressions of Hiruzen in front of him looked extremely solemn.
Chapter 590: Captain Selection
"Sir, what happened?"
Noticing the solemn expression on Hiruzen's face at this time, Minato's expression also became serious.
Although Minato is now the fourth Hokage, the way he addresses the Third Hokage and others remains unchanged.
Hiruzen at the door quickly approached Minato and said in a low voice: "From the recent information collected by my Anbu, the activities of the Root people are a bit abnormal."
"Abnormal?"
Minato was stunned, in fact, he had just succeeded the Hokage, and most of the Anbu that were previously under the Hokage were still in charge of the Third Hokage.
Therefore, Hiruzen was earlier than him in obtaining certain intelligence.
The composition of "Root" is even more special. It is led by Danzo alone, and even the Hokage does not know anything about it.
It is a potential force for the village, but it also poses a potential threat to the Hokage.
Therefore, Hiruzen dispatched Anbu to monitor the Root's activities all year round.
"Um."
At this time, Hiruzen walked up to Minato, took a deep breath, and said: "So I ordered the Anbu to investigate."
"A few days ago, it seems that a considerable number of Root members left the village and have not returned yet."
Hiruzen said that he could only turn a blind eye to some of Gen's actions.
But this time it was different. The actions of the Root were too strange. If the Anbu had not discovered that the number of Root members had inexplicably decreased in recent days, they would have known nothing about this matter.
Moreover, the time period when the Root members left the village happened to be when the village was preparing for the Hokage succession ceremony.
Danzo chose to take action at this time, obviously not wanting the Hokage to know these things.
Hearing this, Minato's expression began to look a little serious.
"In this case, we should immediately order the Anbu ninja to investigate this matter."
Minato frowned. The investigation of the Root could not be left to ordinary ninjas because it might involve some sensitive issues in the village.
"Of course I know that." Hiruzen nodded, and his solemn expression relaxed a little.
"How is it? Are you used to dealing with these complicated things?"
Hiruzen did not question Minato's ability, but as a Hokage, in addition to ability, what he needed more was patience.
Dealing with everything in such a large village, a lot of it is insignificant chores.
But the more this happens, the more we cannot take it lightly, and we cannot handle every matter hastily.
"Since you have entrusted the village to me, I certainly cannot let you down."
Minato said that he had almost finished processing the documents, and all that was left was to hand off some of the tasks to the ninjas in the village to carry out.
"Haha, you are still the same," Hiruzen chuckled.
In front of Hiruzen, Minato hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sir Sandaime, I just happen to have something I want to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" asked Sandai.
"I want to expand the organization of the Anbu. After all, the Anbu lost some elites during the previous war."
Minato said that during the Third Ninja World War, the fighting situation was tense and the Third Hokage ordered his Anbu personnel to participate in the war.
Although Konoha won a great victory in the war, a considerable number of Anbu elites also died.
As soon as these words were spoken, the third generation's brows suddenly frowned.
He understood what Minato meant, although the latter had become the Fourth Hokage by now, he was still lacking something important besides the authority of the Hokage.
Team.
It goes without saying that Minato's prestige in the village is now high, but even so, there are still some people who are dissatisfied with his succession to the position of Hokage.
In this situation, Minato could only coordinate slowly, but in order to deal with some sudden situations, he must have some power of his own in his hands.
Looking at the reaction of Hiruzen in front of him, Minato was secretly making some plans in his mind.
The background of his succession to the Hokage was somewhat different from that of previous generations, because the first three generations of Hokage succeeded upon the death of the previous Hokage.
Today, The Sandaime of Konoha are already alive, and together with the three elders of Konoha, they all have their own forces.
Minato, the Fourth Hokage, is the weakest among them.
Therefore, in order to consolidate his position and prestige as Hokage, he must expand the power of his wings as quickly as possible.
It's not that Minato is ungrateful. It's just that if he doesn't do something, he, the fourth Hokage, will be nothing more than a puppet.
Minato regards everyone in Konoha Village as his companions, even Danzo, whom he has always hated.
But this does not mean that he can be controlled by others.
Just like today, he learned about the abnormalities of Danzo and Root from the Third Hokage.
Hiruzen's mood was a little complicated.
But after pondering for a moment, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Now that you are the Hokage, of course I respect your decision."
"Thank you." After receiving the response from Hiruzen, Minato said respectfully.
"Then do you have any idea about the candidates for the captain of the expanded ANBU?"
Hiruzen asked, the only benefit of the war that just ended for the village was that under the baptism of war, most of the surviving ninjas had grown tremendously.
So now the ninjas in Konoha can be said to be elites.
The selection of personnel to expand the Anbu is not a problem, but the selection of the captain of the new Anbu is crucial.
His ability and strength must convince everyone.
Although there are many such strong people in Konoha, Minato does not have many choices.
The three sannins and Hatake Sakumo, who were Minato's teachers, each possessed this ability.
But if you think about it carefully, none of them can take on this position. As the founder of Konoha's medical system, Tsunade immediately began to improve the medical system after the war.
Jiraiya's personality is not suitable for this kind of position. As for Orochimaru, although he did not show it on the surface, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Minato in his heart.
As for Hatake Sakumo, he seems to be the most suitable candidate, but he has always been a capable subordinate of the third hokage.
If Minato let him take on the position of captain of his newly formed ANBU, it would be like giving Sakumo-senpai a difficult problem.
Among Minato's peers, there were only two people with such strength and prestige.
With Senju Nawaki's personality, he would definitely not be able to do what the Anbu did.
The remaining person seems to be the least likely, but he happens to be the best candidate in Minato's mind.
Minato stared at Hiruzen and said.
"Yes, I plan to let Uchiha Yoruki serve as the captain of the new Anbu!"
