Chapter 104: Hokage's Enlightenment

Of course, it’s about Black Zetsu.

Xiayou has not informed Minato and the others yet.

It doesn't make much sense to say it, after all, Hei Jue can't be caught now.

On the contrary, it is more likely to cause panic and even various other accidents.

After all, as long as [Uchiha Madara] is a big threat, it is already strong enough.

It was too early to let Minato and Konoha know that the person they would eventually have to deal with might be the 'god' from thousands of years ago. But it was done too hastily and was overthrown.

In this era, ninjas still respected the legendary gods.

Even someone as powerful as Madara still respects the stories of gods recorded on stone tablets by his ancestors.

And just then.

Another figure rushed to the battlefield.

Uchiha Fugaku, belatedly arrived.

This was not intentional, after all, he had made a round trip and was already here at full speed.

It's just that the battle on Minato's side ended too quickly!

He defeated Nagato in two rounds, and forced Obito and the others to flee in defeat in four rounds.

Before he arrived, everything was settled.

…

"Water...Hokage-sama!"

"Jiraiya and Lord Orochimaru..."

"Where are the enemies?"

"Who is this?"

Fugaku looked at Xia You and was also startled by the pair of [Reincarnation Eyes], but he was very sensible and did not act rashly.

Minato and the others are all here.

Even if he is truly an enemy, it is not his turn to take action.

"The enemy has been defeated and the remainder have fled."

"As for sir, I'll explain it to you later."

Minato responded simply.

Although Fugaku was curious, he didn't rush to ask.

He always knew how to advance and retreat appropriately.

And I heard that Minato had defeated the enemy and won.

He was even more excited, and even his stern face could not help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth.

good!

very good!

I, Fugaku Uchiha, am indeed the strongest angel investor!

It was not in vain that I had put all my wealth and life on Minato.

This time, there was no longer any obstacle to Minato's ascendancy. In the next few decades, our Uchiha clan will also be stable!

…

"Chief Fugaku!"

"Where's Tsunade? Where's the teacher's body?"

Jiraiya asked worriedly, he didn't expect Fugaku to come back so soon.

"It has been handed over to the main force, it should be safe!"

"What? The Third Generation, he..."

Minato was startled. After he achieved the perfect Jinchuuriki, he flew directly to the battlefield here.

I haven't gone to see the main force yet, so I naturally don't know the news that Sarutobi Hiruzen has been killed.

"That's right... Teacher, he was killed by Nagato."

"It's still my fault. Nagato killed Hiruzen-sensei just to stimulate me..."

Speaking of Sarutobi, Jiraiya felt sad again.

My heart is also full of regret.

Minato was also a little intolerant.

He had always known that Sarutobi Hiruzen had many shortcomings.

He is indecisive, indulges Danzo, is too harsh on other wealthy clans, is a bit greedy for power...etc.

But putting aside the status of Hokage, these are just shortcomings that many people have.

No matter how perfect a person is, it is impossible for him to have no shortcomings; even Senju Hashirama-sama has various small shortcomings.

There is no one who is either a good person or a bad person!

Things in the world are not so pure and absolute...

Generally speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen is still a good Hokage, at least to Jiraiya and other apprentices, and to most of the villagers.

In the past few decades, under his governance, Konoha has experienced frequent breakdowns in terms of military force; but the overall economy and people's livelihood have still made considerable progress.

And when the village really needs his protection.

Sarutobi will still decisively join the battle. Unlike the other Danzos, the last Konoha ninja will not die!

therefore.

Minato was generally quite grateful to Sarutobi, the Third Hokage. Even if he never fully delegated his power, Minato never thought of fighting with him.

He was even willing to lie dormant for a while, waiting for Sarutobi to grow old and let go of his power naturally.

Even before this battle, he never thought of killing Sarutobi Danzo and the others. I just want to quickly force them to step down and delegate power in order to integrate Konoha and deal with the crisis.

…

Orochimaru was also slightly sighing.

As for sadness, there is still a little bit of it.

But more in his heart was the emotion about the fragility of life.

As strong as the Third Hokage, he will still die if he is killed!

That old man, Ninjao, who was known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu", actually died like this...

no!

I must not die in such a hurry. I haven't finished studying all the ninjutsu in the world, so I must speed up the research on [Fuji Reincarnation]!

Strive to reach the realm of immortality as soon as possible!

"snort!"

"What's so sad? This is the fate of ninjas."

"As Hokage, it is the greatest honor for the old man to die on the battlefield!"

Orochimaru's heart was still warm, and he was the first to speak to comfort Jiraiya and the others.

Although this sounds a bit strange.

"Yes, the old man died protecting the village!"

"It's a good ending!"

Jiraiya wiped away his tears and nodded in agreement.

It would be much better for Teacher Hiruzen to die in battle as the Third Hokage and leave a good reputation than to die in order to seal his apprentice Orochimaru in the future.

…

Xia You didn't have any feelings about this.

Even with Fugaku, they were trying to suppress the corners of their mouths that wanted to turn up.

Xiayou couldn't say he hated Sarutobi.

But today's elderly Sarutobi is indeed not as lovable as the passionate Sarutobi back then.

What's more, his death will be of great benefit to the current Konoha and the Fourth Hokage Minato!

at this point.

Not only the Fugaku clan leader, but also many of the village's big clans must have secretly clapped their hands in applause.

Of course, except for the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan.

Likewise.

After removing the obstacles of [Konoha f4] and allowing Minato to truly take charge, he can greatly integrate Konoha and greatly increase the speed of unification of the No. 4 ninja world.

It's not too late for Xia You to be happy.

pity.

Brother Nagato was not strong enough to kill Danzo as well.

It would be even more perfect if they were done together.

"Go back to the funeral and mourn. The war is not over yet, so this is not the time for you to be sad."

Xia You interrupted the sadness of Minato and others without any psychological burden.

Fugaku was secretly frightened.

Who is this guy? Dare you speak to your own dignified Fourth Hokage like this?

Minato regained his senses and started to think about it seriously.

Although Nagato died, the Rain Ninja troops were almost wiped out.

But that doesn't mean the war is over.

The majestic Konoha, one of the five great hidden villages; was attacked by a small country and a small village like this, and it ended with just defeating the enemy?

At least some response must be made to deter other countries.

Otherwise, no one will dare to scratch Konoha's butt in the future...

How can we still live in Konoha? How can it develop normally?

What's more, the war with [Yunyin Village] is not over yet, and a suitable way of handling it is also needed.

And now.

These major decisions must be made by Minato.

"Sir, do you have any suggestions?"

"You are the Hokage, and it is up to you to make your own decision. I have only one suggestion: long-term pain is worse than short-term pain."

Xia You's suggestion was very 'tactful'.

It's the same truth. Pressing Minato's head to force him to unify the ninja world will only be counterproductive.

As Hokage, you have to make many decisions yourself!

"Minato, just go ahead and do it. I will fully support you!"

Jiraiya patted Minato and encouraged him firmly.

Clan Chief Fugaku and Orochimaru next to him also tacitly chose to support.

Everyone was frank and left the decision to Minato.

Anyway, the few people present at the scene will be the new group of high-level officials of Konoha in the future. They all wear a pair of pants, so naturally they have nothing to hide.

Minato nodded and thought for a moment.

At this moment, he finally truly felt the power that the Hokage should have, as well as the heavy pressure on this power.

Every decision may affect the life and death of countless people and the future of the village...

Fortunately, he is Namikaze Minato! It's the [Yellow Flash] that is feared by the entire ninja world!

Naturally, it is impossible to be overwhelmed by pressure.

Soon, he made a decision in his mind:

"Pass the Hokage's orders to continue the pursuit with the large forces, invade the [Rain Country], and destroy the [Rain Ninja Village]!"

"Uchiha Fugaku, you have full authority to command the troops temporarily!"

"Orochimaru, Jiraiya... you stay in the village and beware of foreign enemies."

"Finally, as for the war with [Yunyin Village], I will go there myself!"

Several people were startled and then took the order.

"As you command!"

Especially Fugaku, he was immediately overjoyed and felt that he had finally survived!

The bright future of the Uchiha clan has finally arrived!

…

At this moment, it’s on the other side dozens of kilometers away.

Obito and Uzumaki White Zetsu, who had managed to escape, were emerging from the ground in embarrassment.

"call--!"

Obito was panting heavily, his mind and body obviously exhausted to the extreme.

Fighting against Minato-sensei again, he didn't dare to relax for a second; he was afraid that if he wasn't careful, he would have to eat meatballs...

Now that I was lucky enough to escape, I felt truly relieved.

"Yeah, yeah, I finally escaped!"

"That Yondaime is really scary!"

"Obito, is your teacher actually so strong?"

Uzumaki Shirazuki teased in a cowardly manner, as if he had forgotten that he was in an extremely embarrassing situation just now.

"No matter how strong he is, he can't change this hellish world. The only one who can change this world is me!"

Obito clenched his fists and said fiercely.

Although he lost to Minato-sensei again, he failed again.

But his determination and long-cherished wish remain unchanged, and he must realize the [Eye of the Moon] plan no matter what!

"Where's the [Reincarnation Eye]?"

Uzumaki Baizetsu spread his hand, revealing the other right eye [Rinne Eye] that he had taken from Nagato.

"Right eye?"
