Chapter 34: Borrowing a Knife to Kill

Half an hour later.

Minato left Fugaku's room contentedly.

He flew back to his living room in an instant.

"How is it? Is it going well?"

Kushina immediately came up and asked anxiously.

Although she supported Minato in resisting those old men. But after the actual implementation, she couldn't help but worry.

"It should go well. I'm not sure, but Danzo-sama and the others didn't doubt it, but looked very excited."

"Humph! That old guy is naturally happy. I'm afraid he would dream of usurping the power of the Hokage."

Kushina muttered, also knowing the character of those old guys.

"Did they quarrel?"

"Yes."

"Minato, who do you think will take over your position in the end?"

"It's most likely the Third Generation, or Danzo-sama... The remaining two advisors, the probability is not high..."

"Sir, what do you think?"

Minato looked at Xia You, and he couldn't estimate who would take over.

"It doesn't matter who takes over your power as Hokage. What matters is that you can temporarily get out of it in the name of taking care of Kushina."

"In this way, no matter what happens in the village next, you don't have to take the blame."

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!"

"The position of Hokage is not so easy to sit on. When [Yunyin Village] provokes a war again, whoever takes over the power of Hokage must bear this responsibility."

This is Xia You's proposal.

Let Minato take the name of Kushina and retreat first to advance, and take the initiative to give up the power of Hokage.

Let those Konoha F4 fight for it, let them fight against [Yunyin Village].

Whether it is an ordinary person or a ninja.

Only after losing it will they know how to cherish it, and their bad nature is like this.

When they know that Konoha has lost [Yellow Flash], anyone dares to step on them, and those old guys are simply unable to lead them to victory.

Naturally, they will really miss the fourth generation Minato.

Wait until the end, Minato will attack strongly again and turn the tide.

By then, they will be able to easily control the entire Konoha and sweep all the relics of the old era, the Konoha F4, into the trash can.

This is killing with a borrowed knife!

Borrowing the knife of Kumogakure to get rid of those old guys.

"Sir, but will [Kumogakure] really launch an attack?"

"Yes, it will definitely."

Although the plot has changed, the Minato couple did not die on the night of the Nine-tailed Fox.

But as long as Minato does not show up for a long time, plus a little publicity; then other major ninja villages will think that the Fourth Hokage is seriously injured and unable to perform the power of Hokage.

At that time, they will definitely be ready to move.

Although other ninja villages may not take action immediately.

But the most powerful and the most contemptuous of Konoha, [Kumogakure], will most likely not be able to help but take the lead.

This is the original plot track.

As soon as [Kumogakure] heard that the 'yellow flash' Namikaze Minato was dead, it immediately launched an attack on [Konoha Village].

Then Konoha and Kumogakure continued the local war for three years, and then they were forced to cease fire and sign an alliance agreement.

Even this alliance truce was actively requested by Konoha.

Because not long after the alliance.

Kumogakure sent its leader again to sneak into Konoha Village and attempted to kidnap the three-year-old Hinata Hyuga. They completely ignored the covenant and wished that Konoha would tear up the agreement again and continue the war.

It can be seen that in this three-year local war, Konoha was definitely at a disadvantage.

"So that's it!"

"Hahaha, when those old guys can't beat Kumogakure Village, the villagers will know how powerful you are, husband!"

Kushina shouted excitedly, and she was eager to see that scene earlier.

"War will always kill people, if it's not necessary."

"Ah..."

Minato shook his head and sighed. If he had no choice, he really didn't want to see war again.

"Then you should find a way to unify the entire ninja world, and then there will be no war."

Minato was stunned, then laughed:

"Sir, you are joking. How can I have that ability! Being able to protect Konoha is already my greatest wish."

Xia You did not urge him.

He knew that Minato had this character, just like Hashirama, and he could not be forced.

Just guide him slowly, and when the whole ninja world can be unified, Minato will make the right choice himself.

"By the way. Sir, how do you know that Konoha will definitely not be able to beat [Kumogakure]?"

Kushina suddenly asked curiously.

"Have you forgotten who killed the second generation Hokage?"

"Do you think those old guys have the courage to fight [Kumogakure]?"

Konoha F4 may still have the courage to fight other villages.

But they have no courage to fight [Kumogakure].

In this world No. 4, Senju Tobirama did not survive. The spirit of the four Sarutobi people was defeated by [Kumogakure] that night.

Now, who has the courage to fight to the death with [Kumogakure]?

This is also the reason why, after Konoha finally begged [Kumogakure] to cease fire, Sarutobi even forced the Hyuga clan to send Hyuga Hizashi to Kumogakure, but did not dare to continue the war.

By then, will the Hyuga clan still support Konoha F4?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

"But what if..."

Kushina is still a little worried, what if Konoha really defeated [Kumogakure] under the control of those old guys.

Wouldn't Minato become a clown?

How can he return to the position of Hokage at that time?

"No one can escape the possibility. In addition to [Kumogakure], Madara, Obito and others will also take action against Konoha."

"Ah?"

"Obito?..."

Minato was a little anxious. Obito was really a pain that he didn't want to talk about.

"Minato, Kushina, why do you think Obito attacked you two?"

"Or why did he come to seize the Nine-Tails at this time?"

Faced with this question, Minato and Kushina were stunned.

Then Minato guessed:

"Was he forced by Uchiha Madara?"

"The matter between Rin and Kakashi should have stimulated him a lot. Madara took the opportunity to bewitch him into that?"

Obviously, Minato still didn't want to believe that the kind and shy apprentice would really become a villain who killed his teacher and mother.

Guess that the source of all the evil came from Uchiha Madara.

"Obito's change was indeed led by Madara."

"But his choice to control the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha was not Madara's order."

Xia You knew it very well.

In fact, Madara had died before Sasuke was born.

Now no one will give Obito orders, so why did he attack Konoha specifically?

For revenge?

Then he should kill all the Mist Ninjas who killed Rin, instead of attacking Konoha.

To capture the Nine-Tails?

[Outer Path Demon Statue] was not ready, and the other tailed beasts were not captured, so why did he capture the Nine-Tails in advance?

Are they afraid that other ninja villages don't know that an extremist organization is eyeing the tailed beasts of each family?

Once a 'strategic nuclear weapon' like the tailed beast is controlled by forces outside the five major villages and Takigakure Village, the entire ninja world will be anxious.

Just like in reality, if a terrorist organization suddenly controls a stockpile of nuclear weapons, the five rogue countries will definitely be anxious and unable to sleep!

Therefore, Obito deliberately attacked Konoha, not just for revenge or to vent his anger.
