Chapter 154 The Fourth Hokage Appears
When Tobirama helped Hashirama resurrect, the Third Hokage was also preparing to resurrect the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.
Because Namikaze Minato died after being sealed with a ghoul, his soul had been eaten by the God of Death.
If you want to resurrect him, you must first liberate his soul from the belly of the God of Death.
Orochimaru already had a solution for this.
Just like in the original plot, Orochimaru and his party came to the forbidden area of the Uzumaki clan - Namendo.
He wore a mask representing the God of Death, and after sacrificing the soul of a condemned prisoner, he successfully allowed the God of Death to cut his belly open and release the soul of Minato Namikaze.
And he himself used the snake's skin-shedding technique and the snake-flow substitute technique to successfully deceive the God of Death and avoid having his soul cut off by the God of Death.
The shinigami who had made a loss-making business was almost driven crazy by Orochimaru's shameless operation.
But what can He do?
He couldn't do anything to Orochimaru, he could only return to the Pure Land with endless anger.
"That's it now. With Minato's own soul as the medium for his reincarnation, we can now begin to resurrect him."
After saying that, Orochimaru began to form seals with his hands, and used the Earth Reincarnation to resurrect Namikaze Minato.
"Um?"
As soon as Namikaze Minato opened his eyes, what appeared in front of him was the Third Hokage, Orochimaru, Kakashi and others.
The Fifth Generation Jiraiya did not come to the Namen Hall with Orochimaru this time because he had to deal with official business and be in charge of Konoha.
"Minato, welcome back."
After taking a puff of cigarette, the Third Hokage looked at Namikaze Minato with a very complicated expression.
Originally, Orochimaru wanted to resurrect Minato and his wife at once.
But the Third Hokage was a little afraid of facing Kushina, and wanted to resurrect Minato first, and then resurrect Kushina after telling him what happened over the years, especially Naruto.
In this way, with Minato as a buffer in the middle, Kushina shouldn't be able to kill him, right?
"Sandaime-sama, what is going on?"
"Kakashi, go talk to Minato about the situation."
"Yes, Sandaime-sama."
Seeing Kakashi pulling Minato aside to explain the situation, Orochimaru spoke with a smile and asked the Third Hokage: "Old man, do you think Minato will blame you for treating Naruto like that?"
It can be seen from the increased frequency of the Third Hokage's smoking that he is feeling uneasy at this time.
"I believe Minato, he is the Hokage of Konoha, he should understand me."
"Yes, he is Hokage, a Hokage who died for his wife and left his only son in your care."
Orochimaru didn't care at all about his teacher's face that was gradually darkening, and continued: "It's your problem, old man, too. You promised Minato that you would take good care of Naruto, but what happened? I'm embarrassed to say it."
"Orochimaru, do you think I'm too old to teach you a lesson?"
"Haha, besides complaining to the second generation, what else will you do?"
Orochimaru sneered, "Instead of thinking about how to teach me a lesson, it's better to think about how not to be beaten to death by Kushina."
Minato's gentle nature might make him understand the Third Hokage.
But Kushina's temper is very violent.
When she was still in ninja school, she got the nickname Blood Red Pepper because of her bad temper.
When she loses her temper, not even Minato can restrain her.
Once she learned that her precious son was treated like that by the Third Hokage, even a few broken ribs would be minor.
"So Orochimaru, do you have any good suggestions?"
"I think it's better if you don't resist forcefully. You may not be able to defeat Kushina now."
Thinking about his age, the Third Hokage had to admit that he was really old.
The body's functions have seriously deteriorated, the amount of chakra is only two-thirds of its peak, and the recovery speed has dropped to an outrageous level.
In this way, even if he can be evenly matched with Kushina in a short period of time, over time, he will definitely not be Kushina's opponent.
"If that's the case, why not try to sell it miserably."
"Selling it miserably? What a way to sell it."
"It's very simple. At your age, if you can't retaliate when you are scolded or hit in front of Kushina, and you will burst into tears all the time, the most she can do is hit you a few times to vent your anger. After all, beating an old man is not a crime. What a glorious thing.”
"It has to be you, Orochimaru, you are the only one who can come up with such a cunning and good idea."
Orochimaru rolled his eyes and did not continue talking to the Third Hokage, but came to Kakashi and Minato.
It just so happened that Kakashi had already briefly explained what had happened in the past few years.
When Kakashi talked about Naruto's situation back then, Minato's fists clenched unconsciously.
"Minato, I definitely can't bear it. You sacrificed your life for the village, but the village treats your son like this. Is this okay? This is not good."
"Lord Orochimaru, what are you doing?"
Facing Orochimaru who was provoking trouble, Minato also looked dumbfounded.
"Don't worry about me, just pretend I don't exist. You can hammer me as much as you want, old man. I won't help him."
".Sigh~ I think the Third Hokage must have his own ideas when he did that."
Being interrupted like this by Orochimaru, Minato was really embarrassed to attack the Third Hokage.
First of all, he is the previous Hokage, Jiraiya's teacher, and his master at the same time.
Secondly, he is an old man, an elder.
He can't do such things as beating elders.
But just because he can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it.
The smart Minato has already figured out why he was first to be released from the Impure World.
Isn't it just to persuade Kushina?
As a junior, he will certainly persuade Kushina and prevent the Third Hokage from being killed.
But everyone knows how terrifying Kushina is when she is furious, and he loves his wife very much, so it is impossible for him to be violent with Kushina.
Then it is reasonable that he can't persuade Kushina at that time, right?
The group quickly returned to the village.
According to the plan, Minato will return to the laboratory with Orochimaru.
There, he will be resurrected with Kushina and Kakashi's father Hatake Sakumo.
But after entering Konoha Village, Minato suddenly said that he wanted to meet Naruto first.
And in order to leave a good impression on Naruto, his appearance must be handsome enough.
Orochimaru said he didn't care about Minato's request and his second-year idea.
It wouldn't take much time anyway, so let's meet.
As for how to make a handsome appearance, Orochimaru patted his chest and said, let him arrange it!
Orochimaru's arrangement was also very simple and crude.
He pretended to be a ninja from the enemy village who invaded Konoha, and was accidentally discovered by Naruto who was practicing.
After torturing Naruto, Namikaze Minato can make a brilliant appearance.
"Damn, who are you?"
"Hehehe, I'm the one who kills you."
Deep in the Konoha forest, Naruto was practicing how to roll balls with one hand.
At this time, Orochimaru, disguised as a ninja from the enemy village, appeared and beat Naruto in no time.
Just when Naruto was thinking about whether to use the power of the Nine-Tails, a specially made kunai "swish" inserted between him and the enemy.
Before Naruto could react, a ninja wearing a divine robe and with the same yellow hair as him appeared in front of him very handsomely.
He looked closely and saw the five characters [Fourth Hokage] written on the robe.
"Naruto, I am not late!"
