Chapter 434 434 Konoha begins internal strife

Konoha Village, inside the Hokage's office.

The fourth generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the root leader Shimura Danzo, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Mito Monen, and the Minister of Education Koharu.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has been in office as Hokage for a year, and now the core power of Konoha has gradually been controlled by these four people.

As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen does not need to stay on the front line all the time, but sits at the rear and commands the battlefield.

But there is another important reason, and that is that another shadow-level powerhouse appears in Konoha.

Golden flash - Namikaze Minato!

He was born as a commoner, and with his excellent talent and hard work, he became a shadow-level powerhouse before he was twenty years old.

Now on the battlefield, the enemy is even more frightened.

It can be said that he has taken over White Fang's position perfectly.

More importantly, he was born as a civilian ninja!

What are the benefits of being a civilian ninja?

That is, he will not put the interests of the family first like the family ninjas do, but put the interests of the village first.

This is the ninja Sarutobi Hiruzen wants.

When Izuna was in power, the most important people were family ninjas.

But because of his powerful strength and methods, he is enough to suppress all family ninjas.

It's a pity that Hiruzen Sarutobi isn't at that level.

He couldn't control those big families.

The method adopted was the suppression proposed by Danzo.

Don't let them get arrogant.

Fortunately, among the people who died after Uchiha Izuna, no matter Senju, Uchiha, Hinata, Kaguya... there was no decisive strong person in these families.

Let the big family have insufficient background.

After more than a year of rectification, Sarutobi Hiruzen basically secured his position as Hokage.

Fortunately, for more than a year, Kirigakure still kept his promise and really didn't attack Konoha.

Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for Sarutobi Hiruzen to secure this position.

The four of them sat together and had a discussion about the current war.

When the meeting was about to end, Danzo suddenly said with a grim look on his face: "Hiruzen, the Kaguya clan has been a little uneasy recently."

As soon as these words came out, Hiruzen Sarutobi went to sleep with Koharu, and the expressions of Mito Kadenyan and the three others changed slightly.

Kaguya, this clan was the diehard party of Uchiha Izuna back then.

This clan has always been as warlike as Uchiha, and they greatly admire Uchiha Izuna's powerful power.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen came to power, after all, the Uchiha and Hinata families were as skinny as a camel, bigger than a horse, and were difficult to manage.

With the thought of eating persimmons and picking up weak ones, after Sarutobi Hiruzen came to power, the first one to suppress was Kaguya.

This strength is at the upper-middle level, and he was a diehard fan of Uchiha Izuna in the past.

Originally, when Uchiha Izuna was in power, the Kaguya clan was highly valued.

There is even someone in their clan who has served as the captain of the ANBU.

But after Hiruzen Sarutobi came to power, the Kaguya clan was gradually excluded from the core circle of Konoha ninjas.

The abolition of the Ninja Club reduced Kaguya, a once first-rate ninja clan, to a second-rate or even third-rate level.

But the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey is really good.

The attack on Kaguya made the other ninjas quiet down a lot.

"I will handle this matter, don't act rashly, Danzo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen decided.

"Your methods are too naive."

Danzo Shimura's answer did not give the fourth generation Hokage much face.

But he does have this qualification.

After all, the person who contributed the most to Sarutobi Hiruzen's rise to power was Danzo.

Although these credits are basically of a shady type.

…

In the north of the Kingdom of Fire, the battlefield of the Kingdom of the Moon.

To be honest, the situation in Konoha in the northern battlefield was not good this year.

Even the second tail of the Jinchuuriki of the ally Moon Country was snatched away by the Kumogakure army led by the Fourth Raikage.

Fortunately, Namikaze Minato was like a savior from heaven, reaching the movie level last year.

And through the Sealed Book, he learned the Flying Thunder God of the third generation Uchiha Izuna.

Unparalleled on the battlefield, it can be said that except for the Fourth Raikage, no one in Kumoyin Village can be his opponent.

Only this year, the situation was barely restored.

After repelling Kumogakure, Namikaze Minato was not idle either.

After receiving the Hokage's order, he immediately rushed to the battlefield of Earth Kingdom.

At the same time, the superiors assigned him a new task - to lead three students, Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito, and Nohara Rin.

Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha were from famous families, but their parents were both dead, and Obito Uchiha was not the heir of a high-ranking Uchiha. He was the same as Kakashi and could only be regarded as a lower-class family.

Nohara Lin is an out-and-out civilian.

The Watergate Class was thus established.

But they did not easily go to the rooftop of Konoha Ninja School to introduce themselves like the future Kakashi Ban.

Instead, he came to the frontline battlefield where he was fighting Iwagakure to introduce himself.

Namikaze Minato will take time to teach the three, but he will not let them go to the battlefield at the moment.

Instead, he is responsible for a series of less dangerous tasks in logistics.

On a lawn at the northwest border of the Land of Fire, Minato Namikaze summoned everyone with a smile on his face and said:

"First of all, let's introduce ourselves, the teacher comes first,"

Namikaze Minato smiled as before and continued: "My name is Namikaze Minato. I am good at the blinking technique and the Rasengan. These are the ninjutsu of the Third Hokage. Haha... I like Kushina's cooking. There’s nothing particularly annoying, my dream is to become a ninja like the Third Hokage, Uchiha Izuna-sama.”

"Oh! Teacher too?"

Uchiha Obito, wearing goggles, shouted excitedly: "My name is Uchiha Obito! I like grandma's cooking, but I hate... guys with dead fish eyes."

Speaking of this, Uchiha Obito and Kakashi glared at each other.

Adjusting his goggles, Uchiha Obito continued: "The dream is to surpass all previous Hokages, of course, including the third generation known as the [Strongest Hokage]! Then, carve my face on all previous Hokage On the face!"

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

Nohara Rin applauded in a dignified manner, which made Obito Uchiha blush and touch the back of his head.

"My name is Nohara Rin. I don't have anything special about what I like or dislike. I am good at medical ninjutsu. My dream is to become an outstanding medical ninja like Tsunade-sama. From now on, I will heal everyone's injuries."

"It's amazing. Medical ninjas are also very important."

Namikaze Minato nodded in approval, focusing on Kakashi at the end.

At this time, Kakashi has become a chuunin.

But he made an exception and joined the genin class.

"My name is Hatake Kakashi. I like things... saury. I hate people who break the rules and delay. My dream is..."

After a moment of silence, Kakashi said in an indifferent tone: "There is no special dream."

Uchiha Obito said disdainfully to himself: "Tch! Why are you pretending to be cool?"
