Chapter 58: Changes in Konoha! Leader of the Jonin Squad

"What's going on?"

"Isn't the first seat on the left occupied by Lord Sakumo?"

"Why did it become Minato's jonin?"

Uchiha Fugaku saw this and clenched his hands involuntarily in his sleeves.

"Where's Lord Sakumo?"

Hinata Hiashi's face changed slightly. He thought that the reason why Hatake Sakumo's seat was vacant was because he would be late with Sarutobi Hiruzen. He never thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen had arrived but Hatake Sakumo was nowhere to be seen.

That was fine, but what was even more unbelievable was that the seat that should have belonged to Hatake Sakumo was actually occupied by Minato Namikaze at this moment, and Sarutobi Hiruzen had not expressed anything.

This was a bit confusing.

"So, White Fang is still dead!"

Although it was the first time for Hyuga Tianhao to attend the meeting, he had already known who the owner of each chair was through Hyuga Hiashi before he came.

The main seat is naturally Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The first seat on the left is Hatake Sakumo, and starting from the second seat, it is Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade.

Now Hatake Sakumo's seat is empty first, and then it is occupied by Namikaze Minato.

Combining the current timeline, Hyuga Tianhao's first reaction is.

White Fang, committed suicide.

As expected.

The subsequent development also confirmed Hyuga Tianhao's guess.

"The reason why I called you to the meeting today is mainly because I want to discuss three things with you."

"The first is White Fang."

"I think everyone here has heard about Sakumo giving up the mission some time ago. Right or wrong, I don't want to make any comments, and I don't want to hear any similar blame."

"After all, Sakumo has committed suicide."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, it was like thunder from the blue sky, making everyone attending the meeting change color except the three ninjas and Ino-Shika-cho.

Who is Hatake Sakumo?

To put it in one sentence, anyone who encounters Konoha White Fang can immediately abandon the mission and run away, and will not be punished by the ninja village.

This is the consensus of all ninja villages except Konoha.

He is also the first ninja to receive this honor since the beginning of the ninja village era.

However.

Such a powerful shadow-level strongman who is stronger than the three ninjas and dominates the ninja world, Sarutobi Hiruzen said that he was dead, and it was ridiculous suicide.

How could the ninja clan leaders present not be shocked.

"It is true that because Sakumo gave up the mission, the village suffered huge losses. This is an indisputable fact, but considering the outstanding merits of White Fang during his lifetime and his great contributions to Konoha, the village decided not to hold him accountable."

"This matter ends here."

"Don't continue to slander White Fang behind his back."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, and then did not give anyone present any opportunity to speak, and directly put an end to the death of Hatake Sakumo in an unquestionable tone.

"It is so."

After learning of Hatake Sakumo's death, Hyuga Tianhao sighed secretly.

Without Konoha White Fang, a shadow, or even a super shadow as a deterrent, he had no doubt that the Second Ninja World War, which was already nearing its end, would be in turmoil again.

What about Hyuga?

After getting rid of the shackles of a bird in a cage, where will Hyuga go in this Ninja World War that can be rekindled by anyone?

And so does he.

If the war is reignited, what role should he play?

"Why would he commit suicide?"

"It's troublesome."

"Once the news of Sakumo's suicide spreads in the Ninja World, the four major Ninja Villages will inevitably be ready to move."

"At least Sunagakure will never let it go."

"After all, Sakumo killed Sunagakure Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law."

...

The people in the conference room had different expressions, but without exception, they all had extremely complicated feelings.

As a Konoha jonin and the head of the ninja clan, and having been on the battlefield, Xiang Tianhao could think of it, and of course they could think of it too.

They were worried about the situation in Konoha and the Second Ninja World War that could revive at any time.

After all, everyone knew that in the Second Ninja World War, although Konoha had three ninjas, it was actually Hatake Sakumo who really beat all four major ninja villages to their knees.

Konoha White Fang.

As for the three ninjas, they became famous because they fought Hanzo in the battlefield of the Rain Country, not only delaying this ninja demigod, but also shattering Hanzo's dream of being a rain shadow.

But the four major ninja villages outside Konoha were all conquered by Hatake Sakumo with a knife.

As if sensing the thoughts of everyone present, Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice sounded again, echoing in the conference room.

"I don't think I need to explain how important White Fang is to Konoha."

"In order to prevent the enemy ninja village from having some inappropriate thoughts, we must find another ninja like White Fang as soon as possible to replace White Fang."

"This person is Minato."

"As far as I know, he not only learned and improved the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Second Hokage, but also mastered the sealing technique owned by the Uzumaki clan, which once made ninja villages in various countries tremble in fear."

"Except for being slightly inferior in reputation, Minato is the only ninja in the ninja village who has the potential to surpass White Fang."

"Therefore, the village decided that Minato Namikaze would temporarily take over the position of the leader of the ninja squad."

Who is the top executive of Konoha?

Is it the person sitting in the meeting room?

Three ninjas?

Hyuga?

Uchiha?

Or Ino-Shika-Chou?

All of them.

Anyone who can sit in this conference room, even the Uchiha who is targeted by Konoha F4, can be called a high-level ninja village official.

But they are only high-level officials.

They definitely have the right to speak, but they do not have the power to make decisions, and they cannot be like Sarutobi Hiruzen, who always talks about the village, and almost changed the name of Konohagakure Village to Sarutobigakure Village.

"Minato, come and say a few words to everyone."

In order to build momentum for Minato Namikaze, Sarutobi Hiruzen spared no effort, and almost bet the title of the Third Hokage on him.

"I'm sorry, I made you laugh."

"I know and understand that in terms of prestige, I am just an ordinary jonin, not as good as Lord Sakumo who defeated Sand Village with one sword. In terms of ability, I am also not as good as the three ninjas who made the demigods of the ninja world return home in defeat. But Minato still brazenly begs everyone here to give me another chance."

"At the beginning, Lord Sakumo defeated the Iwagakure army with a ninja sword "White Fang" in the Land of Earth. If Iwagakure still persists in attacking Konoha after learning of Lord Sakumo's death, If you declare war, I will also imitate Lord Sakumo and use this Flying Thunder God Kunai to cut off the Sand Village."

"Minato is not talented, I beg you all to give me a chance to prove myself."

"If I really can't convince everyone and let Konoha suffer losses, I will not only resign as the leader of the jonin squad immediately and never mention it again, but also be willing to accept any punishment from the village."

After Namikaze Minato stood up, he first looked around at everyone, then bowed, and then sincerely begged everyone in the meeting room to give him a chance to prove himself.
