Chapter 482 Dictatorship

In a blink of an eye, a week passed.

Konoha is still cleaning up the mess, as many buildings are damaged and need to be rebuilt.

Of the four rock statues on the Hokage Rock, only Namikaze Minato is left. The rock statues of Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju and Sarutobi Hiruzen have been smashed down.

Everyone in Konoha feels very uneasy now.

Because the orders given by Minato Namikaze were a bit too inhumane.

Obviously, the previous Minato Namikaze was not like this.

Today, almost all the villagers and ninjas of Konoha gathered under the rock statue of Minato Namikaze.

And Minato Namikaze stood on top of the Hokage Rock, looking down at the crowd below.

Behind Minato Namikaze stood Jiraiya, Hyuga Hiashi, Nara Shikaku, and other ninja clan leaders.

And in front of Minato Namikaze, kneeling were Utane Koharu, Mitokado En, and several other Konoha advisers who were not considered core senior executives.

Namikaze Minato announced: "Today, as the Fourth Hokage, I will judge the advisors of Konoha before me, and I also have several orders to give.

Headed by Utatane Koharu and Mitomon En, they abused their power and sought personal gain, causing irreparable damage to Konoha. Today they are being tried. Do you have anything to say?"

Konoha advisers such as Utane Koharu and Mitokado En did not speak. In the past week, various memory-probing ninjutsu had been used on them, which had brought their spirits close to collapse and made them almost unable to think.

Namikaze Minato glanced at Utane Koharu and the others without any emotion: "Nothing to say? Then make the judgment and execute them directly!"

Behind each of Utane Koharu, Mitokado En and the others, there appeared an Anbu ninja holding a ninja sword.

The people below the Hokage Rock all looked at Minato Namikaze in amazement.

Just kill him right away?!

"The Yondaime..."

Asuma Sarutobi wanted to intercede for them.

Namikaze Minato looked at Asuma Sarutobi with sharp eyes: "You people should know clearly what they have done. Asuma Sarutobi, I gave respect to your father, the Sandaime Hokage. If you want to plead for them, I don't mind depriving your father of the respect!"

Asuma Sarutobi stopped talking.

The ninja clan leaders here all looked at Minato Namikaze with very strange eyes. The current Minato Namikaze has a completely extreme personality from what he did before.

Many people looked at Jiraiya, hoping that he could say a few words to persuade Minato Namikaze.

But Jiraiya's eyes were dull and he looked decadent.

The Anbu ninjas attacked together, slashed their necks with their ninja swords and killed them.

Many people couldn't bear it and turned their heads away.

At this moment they clearly realized that the current Minato Namikaze was no longer the tolerant and kind Minato Namikaze.

Namikaze Minato ordered the Anbu ninjas: "Throw these bodies out of Konoha Village and cremate them."

The Anbu ninja left with the bodies of Tsukuharu Koharu and others.

Namikaze Minato then announced: "Next, I have something to announce. My wife Uzumaki Miyuki and my son Uzumaki Naruto were persecuted by Shimura Danzo and others, so that Uzumaki Miyuki is now missing and Uzumaki Naruto has been treated unfairly in Konoha."

The villagers who didn't know about this widened their eyes and looked at Minato Namikaze in disbelief.

Is Uzumaki Naruto the son of their Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze?

Then...would Minato Namikaze be responsible for the things they did before? !

Namikaze Minato continued, "This matter ends here. I will not hold you responsible for not knowing about it. However, if anyone spreads rumors behind your back again, I will arrest them directly for inciting the division of Konohagakure!

Then next, I will issue a few orders to change the current situation in Konoha!

First, from now on, there will no longer be an assistant to the Hokage. The position of advisor will be retained, but the advisor only has the power to make suggestions and does not have the power to directly participate in decision-making. In all matters, only the Hokage has the right to make decisions.

Second, disband the current assassination tactics special forces and re-establish the Hokage Guard. The Hokage Guard will only execute my orders, and the members of the Hokage Guard will have the highest authority except me.

Thirdly, all children who are 6 years old or older must enter the Ninja School, receive Ninja education, and be eligible for three graduation examinations. If they fail to pass the graduation examinations three times, they will not be able to obtain any rights or interests in Konoha!

Fourth, Konoha is fully prepared for war, and all actions are in preparation for war! I know that some ninja clans have some rules, but these rules are your rules, not Konoha's rules. In Konoha, you have to listen to me. As long as you are assigned, no matter who you are, you have to fight, no exceptions!

These four orders will take effect immediately. Next week, Konoha will officially declare war on the Sand Village. All ninjas must record the reporting list and then coordinate and be ready for the war to start at any time!

That’s all for this announcement, everyone disband!”

After making his announcement, Minato Namikaze turned and walked past the crowd behind him.

Everyone looked at Minato Namikaze's departing back in fear.

Does the current Minato Namikaze want to rule Konoha as a dictator?

Among this group of people, Hinata Hiashi was the most nervous.

Because Namikaze Minato’s fourth order may very likely mean that the Hyuga main family will also have to go to the battlefield!

Hinata Hiashi really wants to talk to Namikaze Minato, but who dares to talk to him now?

...

Chiba, who was already in the Otogakure Village at this time, was in Orochimaru's base, and saw the order announced by Minato Namikaze with Orochimaru.

Qianyu sighed: "I thought I guessed right, but I didn't expect that I guessed wrong. Namikaze Minato did not forgive Konoha, but wanted to rule Konoha as a dictator. He is really something."

Orochimaru said to Chiba: "In fact, this is the right way to do it. If Minato Namikaze chooses to destroy Konoha, then he will be left with nothing. It will not be of any benefit to him. However, he is the Hokage. As the Hokage, he is the supreme ruler of Konoha.

Namikaze Minato can use this identity to control and rule Konoha, and he can take revenge without destroying Konoha."

Qianyu nodded: "Yeah, that's true. I was a little one-sided at the time. The Sand Village is going to be in big trouble, but they shouldn't let this war start. After all, Rasa is dead, and the Jinchuriki is controlled by Minato Namikaze. The Sand Village without a leader will not be a match for Konoha."

Orochimaru said with great interest: "Yes, now it depends on what price the Sand Village will pay to appease the anger of Minato Namikaze, and what will become of Konoha in the future. Will it become the next Blood Mist Village like the previous Mist Village?"
