Chapter 117 Young Minato

"Hei Ze, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing Black Zetsu standing still, Obito asked.

Black Zetsu dispersed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and then said: "I am thinking about how to deal with the Konoha Ninja Village. Kushina and Minato are too powerful. There is no hope for us to capture the Nine-Tails."

"Then do you think of any solution?"

Hei Jue shook his head: "I can't think of any good way, but Bai Ye may have a way. Let's go over and share this information with Bai Ye first."

When Byakuya was mentioned, Obito's expression changed instantly, and he turned to Black Zetsu and said, "I don't need his help. One person can weaken Konoha's strength, and it only takes a year at most."

Black Zetsu glanced at Obito and shook his head: "Although you have inherited Madara's ability, the Kyuubi is not an ordinary tailed beast. To be on the safe side, it's better to tell Byakuya."

"I said, I don't need it!" Obito's tone gradually became cold.

…

A few days later.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was time to hold a high-level meeting.

As the fourth generation Hokage, Namikaze Minato received a number of Konoha high-level officials in the meeting, including the leaders of the root organization Danzo and Orochimaru, the Hokage's assistants Mito Kado and Koharu, as well as the semi-retired third generation Hokage. .

However, the Third Hokage seems to have stepped down as Hokage and become a member of the advisory board of elders, but he still dominates high-level meetings.

Although Namikaze Minato respected the Third Hokage very much, he was still a little dissatisfied.

After all, he is the current Hokage of the village, and the third Hokage is already the previous one.

Considering that he had few capable people under his command, Namikaze Minato could only endure it for the time being. Whenever he raised a problem and came up with a solution, he would always ask the third generation for his opinion.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Although he was selected as the Fourth Hokage based on his merit and popularity, his power and prestige are far inferior to the Third Hokage who has been the Hokage for decades.

The so-called fourth generation era has not come at all, and now it still belongs to the third generation era.

To become a real Hokage, Namikaze Minato feels that it will take at least three to five years, which is one of the few good news. After all, he is still very young, less than thirty years old.

Thinking of this, Namikaze Minato took out the outline and looked in the direction of the Sandaime.

"Sandaime, I plan to form an escort team to ensure Kushina's safety."

"Sandaime, Iwagakure has sent envoys for peace talks. Should we ask for land from Iwagakure, or simply ask for war compensation."

"Sandaime, the troops from Kirigakure Village have withdrawn from the border of Fire Country."

"The Sandaime, Amegakure Village has sent an envoy, hoping to trade with us in the border area and learn from Konoha's advanced experience."

Namikaze Minato's request made the Third Hokage very satisfied, thinking that he had chosen the right person.

Namikaze Minato was worthy of being the Hokage he had chosen, and he was loyal to him. He actually didn't care how the Fourth Generation dealt with these matters, but he had to ask him for instructions.

This scene also fell in the eyes of other high-level officials in Konoha.

Koharu and Mito Kadoen didn't react much when they went to bed. It was impossible for them to become Hokage, but no matter who the Hokage was, they couldn't live without their two advisor elders.

To a certain extent, the Third Hokage is also a member of the advisors and stands with them.

In comparison, Orochimaru and Danzo were quite dissatisfied. Orochimaru could not stand the controlling desire of the Third Hokage. Coupled with his doubts about the Hokage's election, he began to wonder if the teacher had done something.

Danzo is much simpler, he just hates that he is not the Third Hokage.

If Orochimaru was successfully elected as Hokage, he should be the one who succeeded in gaining power, but his darkness was not as dark as that of the Third Hokage, so he lost the Hokage election.

Noticing the strange looks in Orochimaru and Danzo's eyes, the Third Hokage chuckled:

"Minato, it's a good habit for you to ask advice from us old people, but now that you are the Hokage, you can make your own decisions as long as it doesn't go against the interests of the village."

"No..." Namikaze Minato shook his head slightly: "I'm still too young. I need to listen more to the teachings of the Third Generation, otherwise I will do bad things with good intentions."

After hearing this, the Third Hokage nodded with satisfaction.

This high-level meeting also ended in an unusually harmonious state, although nothing was discussed at the meeting and the results were reached.

After the meeting, Namikaze Minato returned to the Hokage's office with instructions from the Third Hokage.

Throwing aside the Third Hokage's comments, Namikaze Minato did not deal with the work immediately, but looked at Konoha outside the window and fell into deep thought.

At the age of twenty-four, he has become the supreme leader of Konoha Ninja Village through his record and strength, but he has only just begun on his journey to the top.

In the month after becoming Hokage, he visited high-ranking officials and the head of the ninja clan.

In a very short period of time, he quickly learned how to fight among high-level officials.

In addition to forming cliques to build hard power, the competition between high-level officials also involves standing on the moral high ground and using the village and righteousness to suppress competitors.

Frankly speaking, this was a little different from the Hokage he imagined.

The Hokage in his impression was an upright person who would sacrifice his life to protect the village and couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes, but the reality was completely opposite.

In the village propaganda, the image of the Third Hokage was glorious, without any stain.

But after becoming Hokage, he learned that the Third Hokage might have deliberately allowed Danzo to develop the Root, and there were countless darkness hidden in the village's Anbu and Root.

In addition to inflicting conspiracies on enemies, many conspiracies were also aimed at their own people.

This made Minato Namikaze feel a little tired, and he also understood why Tsunade left Konoha and why Jiraiya teacher was unwilling to be Hokage.

Jiraiya teacher had long seen the dark side of the village and was unwilling to get too much contact.

However, he was more confident than Jiraiya teacher, and believed that as time went by, he would sooner or later make Konoha a new look.

Retracting his gradually divergent thoughts, Minato Namikaze began to arrange work.

The guard team must be established, and two Anbu teams must be sent to take turns to protect Kushina.

The peace talks on the Iwagakure side must at least win a considerable amount of compensation, otherwise he would not mind going around the Iwagakure Village to let the Iwagakure feel the charm of the Flying Thunder God.

The Kirigakure Village can no longer drag it out, and only by signing a treaty quickly can they avoid diverting conflicts.

As for the envoy sent by the Hidden Rain Village to request trade... Namikaze Minato fell into deep thought and finally decided to agree to the request for mutual exchange.

He heard that the recent reforms of the Hidden Rain Village were going well and successfully solved the problems in the Hidden Rain Village.

If he could gain reform experience from Yahiko, it would be of great help to him in reforming Konoha in the future.
