Chapter 167 Handover and Aftermath, Leaving Konoha
Later in the night.
The Third Hokage finished the aftermath work and returned to his home.
As soon as he took off his combat uniform, a circle of spiral ripples appeared.
"who?!"
The Third Hokage was extremely alert, clasped his hands together, and began to form hand seals.
When he looked at the spiral waves and saw Uchiha Yufeng, he paused.
Then he remembered that tonight Uchiha Yufeng finally froze the bodies of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki and took them away.
"Yufeng, where did you take the bodies of the Fourth and Kushina today?"
"The Fourth Hokage and Kushina usually take good care of you. You can't do anything that goes against the Fourth Hokage's will at this time!"
Watching the Third Hokage start chattering again, speaking of the Will of Fire.
There was a flash of impatience in Uchiha and Feng's eyes, and they interrupted directly.
"I know what you mean, Sandai. I didn't do anything special. It just happened suddenly, so I had no choice but to do this.
I came here today to give you an explanation. Come with me to my space first."
"Your space?"
The Third Hokage's eyes paused slightly.
"Third generation, don't resist."
Uchiha Yufeng said softly.
A Mangekyō Sharingan appeared in the eye socket, and the space in front of his eyes distorted, emitting a vortex and suction force.
Thinking about Uchiha Yufeng's words, and his past feelings towards the Fourth Hokage and Uzumaki Kushina.
The Third Hokage finally chose to believe Uchiha Yufeng.
No resistance was made.
Immediately afterwards, the space turned, and the Third Hokage was received by Uchiha Yufeng into the Kamui space.
As soon as it hit the ground.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment around him, the Third Hokage was slightly dazed.
"Is this what Uchiha Yufeng just mentioned, the so-called space?"
Before Sandai could think, a familiar voice came from behind him.
"Three generations."
The Third Hokage turned around immediately.
Seeing Minato Namikaze looking weak, the Third Generation was overjoyed.
"Great, Minato, Kushina, you're not dead?!"
Minato Namikaze smiled and did not answer the question.
He looked at the Third Hokage with an unprecedented seriousness in his eyes.
"Third generation, the Uchiha clan member who attacked our village and summoned the Salamander summoning beast was the Uchiha En who disappeared on the battlefield before.
However, this Uchiha has changed his personality, and his eyes show no affection for the village at all.
According to Uchiha Yufeng, he should have undergone special training with Uchiha Madara.
It is very likely that Uchiha Madara left a backup plan for Uchiha En before leaving.
The specific back-up plan is unknown. It could be a jutsu, or it could be the enormous eye power that once shocked the ninja world.
As for his subordinate, a black and white creature, he is called Black and White Jue.
Judging from the intelligence of this sneak attack, it has the ability to use Wood Release and control other people's bodies. This is the one that attacked Kushina this time."
A glimmer of understanding flashed across the eyes of the Third Hokage, and he put the whole thing together in his mind.
"I am now convinced that the most dangerous people in the prophecy that Jiraiya-sensei mentioned are them.
According to the prophecy, whether it is our Konoha or others, I am afraid that in the future, there will be a bloody storm in the entire ninja world."
Hearing this, the Third Hokage was stunned.
"Is this the prophecy of the great toad immortal?"
Namikaze Minato nodded.
The Third Hokage was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. It was obvious that this incident had a great impact on him.
After all, this matter has been elevated from Konoha to the entire ninja world.
"Third generation, actually, I asked Yufeng to bring you here this time, in addition to answering your questions, there is one more thing I need to discuss with you."
The Third Hokage glanced at Uchiha Yufeng, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then nodded to Namikaze Minato.
"Fourth generation, you say."
"Since Kushina and I died outside fighting the invasion of Konoha's enemies and sealing the Kyuubi, from today on we will announce to the public that Kushina and I are dead."
Hearing this, the Third Hokage was shocked.
“Minato, as the Fourth Hokage, you stabilized the war situation in Konoha during the three wars and led the entire village to victory.
Since taking office recently, his contribution to Konoha has been remarkable.
I believe that in time, the entire Konoha will become better under your leadership.
If you can return to Konoha in time at this time, you will be able to win back the hearts of the people of Konoha.
But if your death is announced.
Now is a critical moment because the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Salamander and an unknown summoning beast are attacking Konoha.
Without you, I'm afraid the major families will become restless, and some may even go against Konoha..."
Before he could finish his words, Minato Namikaze walked up to the Third Hokage and bowed.
"Third-generation, I know this will cause turbulence for Konoha for a short period of time, but with the Third-generation and Yufeng here, these are not a problem.
Facing unknown enemies, which may affect the entire ninja world, I have no choice but to do this in the face of such future events."
“I’ve seen life and death on the battlefield before, and I’ve been thinking about ways to eliminate hatred.
The arrival of Teacher Jiraiya gave me guidance.
I believe that my child Naruto will become the person predicted in the future and lead the ninja world into a new era.
By then, there will be no more fighting, no more war, no more hatred and pain between nations, but only harmony, beauty and happiness.
But before that, someone has to silently give, and I think this is the meaning of my existence now.
Third generation, Konoha will be handed over to you during this period of time."
Hearing Minato's words, the Third Hokage had a look of emotion on his face, and then he sighed.
"I understand. I will succeed the position of Hokage again and take care of the entire Konoha. When you return, I will hand over Konoha to you intact!"
Minato Namikaze smiled slightly.
"As long as it can bring long-term peace and stability to the ninja world and Konoha, this sacrifice is nothing.
Ninjas are supposed to quietly maintain peace in the dark. I have understood this principle since I became a ninja. "
The Sandai saw that Minato had made up his mind and said no more.
He asked after his eyes swept over Uzumaki Kushina.
"So what are your plans now?"
Namikaze Minato looked at Uchiha Mikaze who had remained silent until now.
“After discussing it with Yufeng, I think Takigakure Village is a good place, far away from the hustle and bustle.
Moreover, it is not far from the Fire Country, so even if there are any problems between Konoha and the Fire Country, they can get there at any time.
So, I plan to go there with Uzumaki Kushina to make a makeover."
The Third Hokage thought for a moment and nodded.
"Takigakure is also a village that was assigned to the tailed beasts, and is surrounded by four countries.
A village hidden in the middle of a huge waterfall in Taki no Kuni.
Due to its unique geographical location, Takigakure Village has never been invaded by other countries.
That's good, but I heard that there was a traitor in their village who killed some of the high-ranking officials of Takigakure and ran away. If you go there, you have to be more cautious. "
"Third generation, don't worry, I will help them!"
Uchiha Yufeng spoke at the right time.
Looking at Uchiha Yufeng, the Third Hokage's eyes showed even more relief.
"I have already thought of a reason to leave the village this time. It is because of the death of my elder brother Minato that I am disheartened."
The Third Hokage gave Uchiha and Feng a strange look.
"Yufeng, are you leaving the village?"
“I was worried about the safety of Minato Namikaze and Sister Kushina, so I stayed until now.
Finally, the matter is over. I have nothing to do recently, so I should relax. "
Hearing this, the Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that it was just a way to relax, in the eyes of the three generations.
If Uchiha Yufeng left at this time, the Uchiha clan would probably have other thoughts.
After Yufeng left, there was no one who could suppress them anymore.
"Third generation, you must keep Danzo under control while I am away."
Uchiha Yufeng said meaningfully to the Third Generation.
The Third Hokage was slightly stunned.
“Especially Danzo, I saw ambition and greed in his eyes.
If the Third Hokage returns to continue to be the Hokage, he will definitely be hated by Danzo. I think he should be more persistent in the position of Hokage than you, the Third Hokage."
After the warning, Uchiha Yufeng looked at the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage nodded. How could he not know what his partner, with whom he had worked for many years, was thinking?
The Third Hokage looked at everyone. Although he was a little surprised by what happened tonight, fortunately things were not as bad as he had imagined.
At least Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki did not really die, which is a blessing in disguise.
"By the way, regarding the bodies of Brother Minato and the others, please ask the Third Hokage to take care of the aftermath."
"I will."
The Third Hokage nodded seriously.
"Before this morning, I will take Minato and the others to Takigakure Village. I will come back after settling them down, but I have to meet Naruto before I leave!"
A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the Third Hokage, and he took out a scroll from his arms.
"The third jutsu on this scroll is the one I set up. The jutsu to send people to set up a barrier around Naruto to enter and exit is this one."
"Also, Konoha's entry and exit of the barrier remains unchanged. You can come back whenever you want..."
"Thank you Sandai!"
Minato Namikaze took the scroll and thought of Naruto who was born not long ago.
He sighed and bowed to the Third Generation and Uchiha Yufeng.
"When I'm not in the village, I'll have to trouble Sandaime-sama and Yufeng to take care of Naruto for me when you have time!"
