Chapter 683 Holding back
On the way back to Konoha, Namikaze Minato's expression looked a little uncertain.
Facing the potential crisis from the outside Yunin Village and the internal faction struggle in Konoha, Namikaze Minato finally felt heavy pressure coming on him.
If he doesn't handle it well, Konoha Village will start internally and face the risk of major collapse!
"Master Sarutobi, he is really worried about Konoha..."
Namikaze couldn't help but sneer on his face.
Secretly contacting the high-ranking ninja clan in Konoha, trying to guide his disciple Tsunade, and guide him to seize the position of Hokage from him with the support of these ninja clan, and change the precarious situation of Konoha!
Although I know that Sarutobi Hiruzen may have good intentions.
However, he was not going to use this as an excuse to try to ease his predicament.
Although sometimes he would express dissatisfaction with certain decisions made by the third generation, it must be admitted that he did use his political wisdom and tried his best to balance the interests of all aspects in the village.
This is the side of Namikaze Minato that he feels sorry for.
In recent years, the only thing that Sarutobi Hiruzen has been widely criticized by the Konoha ninja is that his attitude towards Danzo Shimura, an old friend, seems to be too weak, which gives the root an opportunity to grow to this point.
Since then, many ninjas have fallen into panic.
Due to the root's formal style, it seriously exceeded the bottom line of what the ninja clan could tolerate. In order to protect themselves, some of these ninja clans chose to unite.
In the face of such a severe test of survival, no ninja clan can remain calm. Even the Hyuga clan, which usually keeps a low profile, has started to make small moves of its own, hedging its bets and watching the power struggle within Konoha.
In this regard, Namikaze Minato, who has an overview of the overall situation, sees it clearly!
It can be seen from this that Shimura Danzo's power in Konoha at that time brought a heavy psychological shadow to them.
Compared with the root, the other mistakes of the Third Hokage are simply not worth mentioning.
"Is it balanced? This is indeed that person's consistent style, but I don't want to continue to follow this strategy during my tenure as Hokage. Today's Konoha is in urgent need of fresh blood..."
Namikaze Minato squinted his eyes and muttered to himself.
Although he understands, he does not intend to imitate the balancing strategy of the Third Hokage, but hopes to become a more firm and decisive leader based on the original foundation.
In his opinion, in Konoha today, the Ninja clan still has too much say in the village...
And the war is a great opportunity for him to clean up the rot inside Konoha in an honest and fair manner!
At least according to Minato's observations, the Third Hokage never received support from the Uchiha clan during his reign.
Even the relationship with those ninjas was too weak in Minato's opinion.
They may be comrades on the battlefield and can cope with crises together, but when it comes to decision-making in the village, they are not partners in the same camp. It can even be said that there are political conflicts between them.
During the reign of the Second Hokage, the policies implemented had only one core goal, which was to weaken the power of the major families, improve the status of ordinary people, and ultimately concentrate power in the hands of the Hokage.
The Third Hokage looks like a good guy, but in fact he is a master of power!
He acts more radically than the Second Hokage and pays more attention to centralizing power. The Second Hokage was only weakened, but the Third Hokage directly and quietly shook the foundation of the Konoha family!
......
the next day.
As soon as the morning sun rose, Tsuna Minato walked into the door of the Hokage Building.
I saw the staff passing by the corridor stopped what they were doing, greeted him respectfully and bowed.
Looking at their uneasy and nervous expressions, it is not difficult to see that they have deeply understood the crisis facing the village.
"Good morning, Hokage-sama!"
People greeted him along the way, and Namikaze Minato always nodded expressionlessly.
"Good morning."
What's more worth mentioning is that the people who can be selected to work here have very clean backgrounds and don't have too many complicated relationships. Of course, there were also ninjas from the ninja clan, but he knew who among the ninja clan he could trust and who he needed to be vigilant about.
Gently pushing open the office door, Namikaze Minato walked straight in.
Sure enough, Shisui, the ANBU minister, had already arrived at the office early, waiting for his arrival.
"Good morning, Yondaime-sama."
Shisui couldn't help but feel worried when he saw the bloodshot eyes in Minato's eyes.
In the past two days, Minato has been working at a high intensity. Although he has not gone to the front line in person, Shisui is still really afraid that one day he will suddenly collapse at his desk from exhaustion.
"How's it going? There's nothing wrong with the candidates for today's battle, right?"
After closing the door and spending time with Shisui, Minato's face changed again, and he yawned indifferently.
"No, those ninjas...are very cooperative."
Shisui shook his head slightly.
"What's wrong with coming here so early?"
"There is something I need to report to you, Fourth Generation."
"what's up?"
"When you went to Mt. Myouki, traces of root activity once again appeared in Konoha Village..."
"Those rats in the gutter?" Minato Namikaze frowned when he heard this.
Although the dead warriors trained by Danzo were all Konoha ninjas, he had no favorable impression at all.
and.
If I remember correctly, all the actions of the root should have been terminated at the moment of Danzo's death.
The responsibilities of the root department have been fully handed over to the ANBU directly under the Hokage, and they have been almost completely disbanded.
however……
"Is it the Third Generation? Those disbanded root ninjas went to work for the Third Generation secretly?"
Namikaze Minato frowned slightly.
If this is the case, then the new rats he raised seem to be taking advantage of the opportunity he left Konoha to start making moves again.
Shisui on the side frowned and nodded slightly to Minato, obviously very dissatisfied with the wanton behavior of the third generation.
"So...how does Hokage-sama plan to deal with this matter?"
"It seems that I need to go to the nursing home in person and talk to the third generation. I hope he can stop."
Considering the current internal and external crises in Konoha, Namikaze Minato could only suppress the anger in his heart. Unexpectedly, this old man would still rather ignore the safety of Konoha and secretly do evil!
And face-to-face negotiation with that person is undoubtedly the most direct and effective way to solve the problem.
