Chapter 30 Konoha F4 Replacement Plan
"Stop, stop, stop, you two, stop spreading some dog food!"
Xia You interrupted quickly.
"Sir, what is dog food?" Minato looked confused.
"That's not important."
After the charming atmosphere between the two was interrupted. Kushina was still very unhappy and couldn't help complaining:
"Isn't there any way to avoid all this? Isn't it too unfair to let you, who saved the village, bear the infamy?"
Minato shook his head, indicating that he had no answer.
As a Hokage and a ninja, what's fair and unfair?
There are only pros and cons, weighing and choosing.
This is also one of the principles Minato has realized as he has grown up.
"There is a way!"
As soon as Xia You opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of Minato and his two brothers.
"Sir, do you really have any idea?"
If it weren't for his wife and children, Minato certainly wouldn't want to take the blame. Once I heard that there was a way, I naturally became energetic.
"It's very simple, just expose the real murderer."
"You mean Obito?"
Minato frowned, not agreeing with this approach.
"Sir, let's not talk about whether we can prove that the masked man is Obito."
"Even if it is proven and exposed, the chance of success is not high."
"On the one hand, it is indeed difficult for an unfamiliar and mysterious enemy to become a target of hatred."
"On the other hand, Danzo-sama and the others will not agree."
Not only would I not agree.
If Minato doesn't take responsibility and doesn't divide power, they will probably obstruct it in every possible way behind the scenes.
Claiming that Watergate was just throwing out a false murderer to escape responsibility.
He even made a fuss about his dead heroic apprentice. It was really a waste of time for him to be a teacher and extremely shameless!
With their influence and channels that have been deeply involved in Konoha for many years, it is too easy to distort and fabricate key information...
Hearing this, Kushina's newly heated passion evaporated again.
"That would be easier."
"Since we're worried about those old guys obstructing us from behind, just kill them all!"
Xiayu's words shocked Minato and Kushina, and their eyes widened a lot.
This, this is too radical!
Are so-called immortals so ruthless? Is it so straightforward?
"No, no, sir, please be patient! Although their behavior is inappropriate, their crimes are not worthy of death!"
Minato hurriedly tried to dissuade him, fearing that Xiayou would directly kill the 'Konoha F4' with some magical method.
No matter how bad the third generation was, Minato never thought of killing him.
That's Jiraiya's teacher after all!
What's more, most of the third generation is still good, except for a little greed for power, and a little connivance with Danzo...
As for the other three members of Danzo, they are equally guilty and not worthy of death!
What's more, if we really kill them all.
It will inevitably cause fierce resistance from the Sarutobi clan, Shimura clan and other big clans, and even break out into a civil war in the entire Konoha village.
Can't do it, can't do it!
"Tsk! Yondaime, you are still too kind."
Xiayou sighed, never thinking that Minato would actually kill his master. The difference between humans and animals is very clear.
"Since you don't want to kill him, then find another way to get rid of him."
"Just find a way to pull them down from the core and senior management and deprive them of their positions and power."
Whether it is for [unifying the ninja world] or for what needs to be achieved after unification [no more division within twenty years].
Xia You needs to get rid of these "Konoha F4" that are holding them back!
As long as they remain at the core level, they will inevitably cause various troublesome incidents in Konoha.
It's better to let Minato take them all down early.
Save yourself the trouble in the future.
"This... I'm afraid it won't be easy!"
Minato had actually had this idea for a long time, but considering the resistance and difficulty of actual action, he had no choice but to give up.
"If they stay in that position, they will only become an obstacle to Konoha's progress. You should know that very well, Yondaime, right?"
"I know."
“But if you want to deprive them of their power, the costs may be far greater than the benefits, and the risks cannot be controlled!”
He knows those old guys' greed for power better than anyone else.
Minato's ability to handle government affairs was not comparable to that of Future Naruto.
Anyway, when he assumed the position of Hokage, he would not be homeless every day, and he would not look exhausted.
…
"How can you be sure that the cost must be greater than the benefit?"
"How do you determine how much impact the stupid things they are doing now will have?"
Xia You continued to ask.
Minato's expression turned slightly gloomy, but he was still very stubborn:
"I'm sorry. Everything you said is correct, sir."
"But, the village really can't bear another big reshuffle!"
As Hokage, Minato has always had his own considerations.
[The Third Ninja War] was indeed too tragic. Konoha, which had just ended the war, really couldn't bear another turmoil.
And there was another reason Minato didn't say.
Rulership is never about one person.
No matter how strong Minato was, even if he could kill through the ninja world, he still couldn't manage the village by himself.
He can't issue statistical tasks, calculate income and expenditure, and maintain public security environment every day...
A ninja's energy is limited, and no matter how easy the shadow clone is to use, it will accumulate fatigue.
Even if this can take away a few Danzo, Minato still has to rely on other Konoha ninja clans to manage the village and maintain the balance of the various ninja clans.
He could not guarantee that the newly appointed village leaders would be better than Danzo and the others.
Unless, he has enough time to discover or cultivate a group of new talents.
"Minato, you are playing a chess game."
"You have your plan, a more gentle and stable plan, right?"
Xia You stared at Minato and revealed the latter's thoughts.
Minato was shocked and nodded with gritted teeth.
Since he succeeded the position of the Fourth Hokage, Minato felt that he was constrained.
He was born as a civilian ninja and did not get the support of several major ninja clans. The Third Hokage did not really give him power.
Want to change the village, want to develop the village.
It's really difficult!
But Minato weighed it again and again and did not choose to seize power by force, which would hurt the village too much.
Instead, he chose to temporarily "willingly" act as a puppet and quietly develop savings.
Reached an agreement with the core senior management of the village and the ninja group headed by Hyuga, and took over the [Ministry of Education].
Gradually introduced more civilian ninjas into the school and carefully trained them.
So that the entire Konoha can gradually bid farewell to the era of the single-family clan and move towards branching out under the consideration of many parties.
New ninjutsu was developed, new escape techniques were promoted, and new ninja concepts began to collide.
He held the first school ninjutsu competition;
He held the first school ninjutsu exhibition;
New things and people are always emerging...
Just the fact that the three people of Beizu Leitong were able to contact and learn the S-level forbidden technique [Flying Thunder Array Technique] under his teaching is incredible in itself.
His "weakness" is just another way of development of "hiding trees in the forest".
The [Ninja Love Theory] he proposed has pushed Konoha to reflect on and correct the "Only Chakra Theory".
Under this "weakness".
Even if he killed through the entire ninja world in the name of [Yellow Flash]. No one in Konoha and the upper echelons thought that Minato was a big threat, and no one thought that Minato had ambitions.
He only needs to hide for a while and develop for a while.
Wait to cultivate more civilian ninjas and ordinary ninjas.
Thus breaking the deeply rooted [Ninja Clan System] and [Secret Technique System] within Konoha...
By then.
Everything will come naturally, and Konoha, this big tree, will naturally be able to break free from decay and regain vitality!
This is the path that Minato chose as the Hokage.
He never told anyone about this, and he didn't want to worry Kushina; but he didn't expect that Xia You still saw through it.
I can only say, is he worthy of being a fairy?
…
