Chapter 255: For Konoha’s Minato Namikaze! "This...is this still our village?!" Under the moonlight, when Konoha's highest alarm was lifted, figures walked out of the shelter pits one after another, looking at their village with dull eyes. The whole village looked like it had been hit by a hurricane, with devastation everywhere, just like the scene after a natural disaster. Especially starting from the direction of Konoha's main gate, countless buildings have collapsed. "Home! My grandma is still at home." A Konoha villager couldn't help but burst into tears, and the next moment countless cries echoed over Konoha. This night is a night that Konoha will never forget! The Nine-Tails appeared in Konoha. Although Uchiha Yai managed to drive the Nine-Tails out of the village in time, the catastrophic power of the tailed beast still caused huge casualties to Konoha. The difference is that the ninja casualties were much less, and the losses were more economic. "The police department has set up a temporary shelter in the mountains behind the Hokage Rock... everyone..." "Hokage has ordered all mid-level and low-level ninjas to help with disaster relief..."
Under the bright full moon, Konoha had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery that night. Uchiha family. "Master Ye, since our family is located in the center of the village, there were not many casualties..." "The police officer who was on patrol outside at the time happened to suffer a loss..." Uchiha Ye sat at the top, and the elite Uchiha members below reported excitedly one by one. This night made the entire Konoha clearly aware of Uchiha Ye's terrifying strength, and also exposed the Uchiha clan's other pair of Mangekyō. "The police department must not let down its guard..." As the police department's orders continued to be issued, the entire Konoha began to operate at high speed. Until late at night, the lights in the police department were as bright as day. "Teacher Ye!" In the office, a half-grown child appeared, holding a baby in his arms, with a hint of sadness in his eyes. "Itachi, you're here." The person who came was Uchiha Itachi, who was holding the future second pillar. At this time, he was only a five-year-old child. In the huge conference room, pairs of elite Uchiha members with triple-magatama Sharingan looked at the child in confusion, somewhat puzzled. At the same time, there are confidants such as Hatake Kakashi, Aburame Shiguro, Might Dai, and Yuhi Shinku, all of whom are at the level of Jonin. "Itachi, take care of Sasuke." Uchiha Shisui stepped forward and spoke comfortingly, and at the same time said to Uchiha Ye in a deep voice: "Teacher Ye, Sasuke's mother was very weak after giving birth and unfortunately died last night... Now Lord Fugaku has not yet..." Although Uchiha Itachi had become a disciple of Uchiha Yaguni a long time ago, he had not received much instruction due to the war in the past two years and was just taught by Shisui. However, from the red book that was visible from the ninja tool bag on Itachi's waist, it was obvious that he had been taught correctly.
"Since Itachi is here, then everyone should sit down first. This night is not only a disaster for the Nine-Tails, but also a disaster for us Uchiha and Konoha!" As the important members arrived, the barrier that suddenly appeared around them made the pupils of everyone in the conference room shrink. Barrier! Everyone was secretly shocked, and even the Uchiha clan members showed doubts. Who is this barrier guarding against? And this meeting, could it be! ? Some people were shocked, some were frightened, and some were excited, all kinds of emotions were there, but more people calmed down and thought that with Uchiha Ye's current momentum, there was no need to do this at all. However, Uchiha Ye, who was at the head of the group, looked around at everyone with a gloomy look on his face. "Everyone, after sealing the Nine-Tails, another piece of bad news came!" As Uchiha Ye's face turned gloomy, Uchiha Yashiro slowly stood up, sadness and anger on his face, and slowly revealed the crow on his shoulder. "Mr. Fugaku's summoned beast just sent back information that he was ambushed on his way back to the village a few days ago..." Everyone below was shocked. Although Uchiha Fugaku's strength had not opened the Mangekyō, it was definitely not weak. However, when Uchiha Yashiro took out a bloody and ferocious eyeball from the mouth of the crow summoning beast, the faces of everyone present changed drastically. "kaleidoscope!" The kaleidoscope in the test tube would not lie, but it revealed a strange black and purple color, and the face of Aburame Shiguro below suddenly changed. "According to the latest intelligence, Master Fugaku was ambushed by one of our own people, and was poisoned by nano-poison insects..." As Uchiha Yashiro's voice echoed, everyone's eyes turned to Aburame Shiguro. Just when his face changed drastically and he wanted to explain something, Uchiha Ya at the top sneered. "Nano-level poisonous insects! Everyone knows that only Aburame Shiguro has mastered this power. The enemy is trying to provoke a fight among us!" Uchiha Ye directly denied the possibility of Aburame Shiguro with a cold shout, and he nodded with an unpleasant expression below: "I have no reason to attack Captain Fugaku, and the Aburame clan has always maintained friendly relations with the Uchiha..." However, before he could continue explaining, Uchiha Ye dropped another bombshell. "And tonight the Nine-Tails suddenly appeared, and I found traces of the Sharingan's Mangekyō pupil power control!" With a bang, the faces of the people below changed drastically. At this moment, countless people thought of the nano-poisonous insects killing Uchiha Fugaku first, and then the Mangekyō controlling the Nine-Tails! This! Uchiha Ye sneered and chose to take the initiative. Since you want to say that Uchiha has a grudge against controlling the Nine-Tails, then he will expose it first. He really didn't expect that Fugaku would awaken the Mangekyo before he died. "Father!" Only Uchiha Itachi's eyes were trembling below. No matter what, he was still just a child now. First he lost his mother, and then he received the news of his father's death. It was a heavy blow to him! "I've said before, this is not just a disaster for the Nine-Tails, it's a disaster for the entire Konoha! There's something wrong within us Konoha!" As Uchiha Ye's angry voice echoed, the faces of the people below changed drastically, and many of them even felt their scalps tingling! This bombshell, is this something they can say or hear? “It is the incompetence, indulgence and greed of the old and foolish leaders that have caused the disaster today. Behind us on the battlefield are a group of children who are shedding their blood to protect the village! And behind the village we are protecting is a group of termites lying on top, greedily taking advantage of it!"
At this time, Uchiha Ye slammed the table angrily, looked at Aburame Shihei and shouted: "We just won the war! Some people can't wait to persecute our Konoha heroes. Captain Fugaku was killed! It's obvious that he was killed by one of our own people! However, it caused hatred between the Uchiha and Aburame, and there was the Nine-Tails Rebellion tonight. These people thought we had shaken their interests, and they had lost their way..." As Uchiha Ye's voice echoed, the ninjas below all looked grim. What on earth was going on... However, the next moment, when Uchiha Ye took out another piece of evidence, countless people's faces changed. "Tonight, during the Nine-Tails disaster, a mysterious person controlled the tailed beast. Although he didn't leave this person behind, he still left behind..." As a pale severed hand appeared, countless people's faces changed drastically, because Uchiha Ye took out the white liquid and dripped it onto the wooden floor in front of everyone. The next moment, the white liquid instantly seeped into the wooden floor, and then vines grew out as if visible to the naked eye. Wood Release! Sharingan! And Nano Poison Bugs! My goodness! At this moment everyone showed a look of shock, followed by fear and anger hidden in their hearts. What is this? Someone in the village is studying their bloodline! This is taboo! In the conference room, Uchiha Ye took the initiative and directly exposed these things. At the same time, a meeting was also taking place in the Hokage's office. …… "Huruzen, the Kyuubi is controlled by the Sharingan, we can't indulge the Uchiha anymore!" "Tonight's Nine-Tails, and even the Three-Tails before, I suspect it was all a conspiracy by the Uchiha!" In the Hokage's office, Konoha F4 gathered again, especially Mitokado En and Utane Koharu, who had just returned breathlessly, and spoke angrily. Shimura Danzo also showed a determined look, "Huruzen, Uchiha has hidden a pair of Mangekyō. We can't let Uchiha develop this way anymore!" Let alone them, the power displayed by Uchiha this time, even Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hesitate at all, and nodded with a gloomy face: "The reconstruction work after the Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion must be accelerated. Although the casualties this time were not large, the economic losses were huge, and…" "Immediately recall Jiraiya and Tsunade, and order Orochimaru to continue guarding the front line!" "Tell Tsunade about tonight's intelligence and send it to the Fire Country Daimyo's mansion. The Uchiha clan must monitor the Kyuubi's Sharingan!" Sarutobi Hiruzen gave orders one after another without any hesitation. Shimura Danzo, who had been in perfect harmony with him for decades, sneered grimly and nodded: "Don't worry Hiruzen, the Root won't let you down. Before, it was the Uchiha and Senju who joined forces to be powerful, but after tonight, the Uchiha will be isolated and helpless! Even the Senju will be in trouble!" After seizing the opportunity, they will naturally spare no effort to fight to the death. Political struggles have always been a life-and-death struggle. As orders were passed down from the Hokage Building, while the entire Konoha was engaged in disaster relief, some rumors were secretly circulating among the jonin class. At the same time, the Root, Anbu and some senior ninjas secretly received the mission and began to monitor the Uchiha quietly. Similarly, all the senior ninjas coming out of the police department also discovered this scene. It can be said that both sides began to be wary of each other! Inside the Hokage's office. "Hokage-sama, Uchiha Ya and Uchiha Mikoto are both in the daimyo's mangekyo, so they have no time or reason to manipulate the Nine-Tails... And it is very likely that Uchiha Mikoto's Mangekyō was awakened when the Nine-Tails destroyed the village..." At this time, after hearing the rumors outside, Minato Namikaze immediately came to the office and spoke vigorously, with a struggle deep in his eyes.
Although he was Jiraiya's disciple, he actually received more favors from the Third Hokage. It can be said that the Third Hokage was also his teacher. however! "Watergate!" Just as Namikaze Minato was trying his best to defend himself, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a tired look, looked at him deeply, and then said hoarsely: "You should have seen the power of the Mangekyō! Sealing techniques are only used to restrain the tailed beasts, but the Mangekyō can directly control the Nine-Tails... The threat of the Uchiha..." Listening to the words of the Third Hokage, Minato Namikaze felt more and more disappointed. They were all threats from the Uchiha clan. Minato Namikaze lowered his head with a dazed look in his eyes. If he were sitting in this position, could he really ignore the influence of the Uchiha Mangekyo? No! Neither can he! Because of the power of the Mangekyō and the ability to directly manipulate the tailed beasts, it is always a threat to the Hokage. It is a threat to the Hokage's authority and voice. But he understood one thing more clearly: if he had the strength of the first Hokage, would he still be afraid? "It turns out it's still the difference in strength." Under the bitter smile of Minato Namikaze, he understood the gap between the two sides, unless he could suppress Konoha. Looking at the silent Namikaze Minato with his head down, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a melancholy look and shook his head: “Minato, perhaps you are right, but this is also an opportunity. After the mourning meeting for the sacrifice of the village tomorrow, I will convene a Jonin meeting! At this meeting, I will take all responsibilities, dismiss the Third Hokage, and select the Fourth Hokage!" Obviously, the best opportunity this time has been lost due to the suspicion of Uchiha and Senju. He was even able to push Minato Namikaze directly to the position of the Fourth Hokage. "Minato, is Nako okay?" After finishing his plan for the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but show a tired look, and raised his head to ask with concern. Under normal circumstances, Minato Namikaze would be extremely grateful to this old man who had worked so hard to pave the way for him. However, when he discovered so much darkness, he only felt his hands and feet were cold. Facing the concern of the Third Hokage, Minato Namikaze's face froze, he lowered his head and said hoarsely: "Although the Nine-Tails was sealed back in time, Nako is still very weak even with the physique of the Uzumaki clan and needs to recuperate. And Naruto is also very weak due to premature birth..." When he heard that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was fine, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but nod with a look of relief. "Minato, go back and take good care of Nako. After I step down, I will slowly teach you to become a qualified Hokage. I also believe in your ability, Minato, and you will never let the village down." "Yes, Third Generation-sama!" This time, the third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, did not notice the sense of distance when addressing Minato Namikaze. As a shadow clone's white smoke flashed by, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but frown, then shook his head helplessly. It was obvious that he was somewhat dissatisfied with Minato Namikaze's use of Shadow Clone in such an important matter. At this time in Minato Namikaze's house, after the shadow clone was released, Minato Namikaze was stunned, which made Uzumaki Nako, who had just woken up from exhaustion, look puzzled. "Minato, what happened?" Looking at his wife, Minato Namikaze put his family first for the first time. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "It's okay, Nako, you should rest well, the village is fine."
However, the moment he turned his head, Minato Namikaze looked through the window in the direction of the Hokage Building, and he showed a complicated expression. “Maybe I’m not suitable for this position.” For the first time, Minato Namikaze doubted himself because he was unable to suppress Konoha and might follow the old path of the Third Hokage, who was afraid of ninjas from his own village. Moreover, the third generation still did not forget to teach him not to be anxious. He said he would step down, but he was still manipulating everything behind the scenes. "Is it true that the power of the Hokage is so hard to give up?!" Minato Namikaze had a complicated expression on his face. After coaxing his wife to sleep, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. Then, after leaving behind a shadow clone, he put on a layer of Anbu disguise and ran towards the Root base. This is the weakest moment of the Root. Perhaps he can discover some truth inside the Root's base. Tomorrow there will be a meeting of the Jounin, and a coup will begin! (End of this chapter)
