Blind Uchiha and Platinum Star

Chapter 169 Chapter 160 Seven: Naruto's 'Inheritance'

After stamping the last document report in hand, Minato couldn't help but sighed softly.

However, this slight sigh seemed to have attracted the attention of the old man in the house, and he asked concerned: "After working hard, Shuimen, do you feel a little tired?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was smoking a pipe with a smile on his face as if gloating.

"Well, after all, the war has just ended, and there will inevitably be a lot of things that require Hokage to make a final decision."

"Only when you really sit in this position, do you know that Konoha's Hokage is actually not that easy to handle. It's better to get used to it as soon as possible."

It seems that after retiring from the position of Hokage, he has not had the slightest impact on him, even because he has a little more leisure, he looks younger than before.

When Minato heard the words, he also turned his head to look at the third Hokage, and said with some embarrassment: "Ha, I will work hard and get used to it."

In the days following his tenure as Hokage, he was nothing more than a ruthless stamping machine.

In fact, most of the documents sent to the hand are things that can be confirmed, and reading it again is just like catching bugs.

But if you want to say nothing, you don't care about opening the cover, but there are a small number of applications with obvious problems.

In Minato's eyes, none of the problems that Konoha really needs to solve have been submitted to him.

There's not even room for discussion.
This makes Minato inevitably fall into some self-doubt.

While meditating, Minato suddenly tilted his head slightly, and a figure appeared in Hokage's office.

"Master Hokage, a report from Anbu."

Minato didn't speak, but quietly turned his head to look at the Third Hokage who was still standing there even though he didn't have a seat.

Sensing the gaze from Minato, Hiruzaru Sarutobi slightly closed his eyes and said:
"Let's talk, and I am no longer Hokage, Minato, you have to take over all of this as soon as possible."

Minato turned to look at Anbu who bowed his head and touched the ground with one knee, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Take it all? But I don't even know the name of this Anbu in front of me.

How to take it over?
In the end, Minato could only nod in response:

"Yes, please tell me."

However, that Anbu seemed to be a little hesitant.

"Yes, news from Kirigakure"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned slightly: "But it's okay. Don't embarrass the old man."

Anbu's head sank again after touching the ground on one knee: "Yes, I'm very sorry, Hokage Junior and Fourth-sama."

"There is news from our latent spy mission in the direction of Wuyin. In recent months, the civil strife in Wuyin Village has gradually subsided, and there is also an unexpected news."

"Say."

"I found out that Mist Ninja had assembled a large number of ninjas for some reason, but it didn't look like they were preparing for war."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi's brows deepened: "A large-scale ninja has been assembled. It doesn't look like preparations for war. Does it mean the same large-scale harassment tactics as before?"

Kirigakure and these guys are really annoying like flies.

"Master Sandaime, that doesn't seem to be the case." Anbu hesitated, as if it was because the following information was a bit hot.

He sorted out his thoughts a bit and continued:
"They were scattered to a very high degree, as if they were looking for something, and even made our members almost exposed at one point."

"Afterwards, Uchiha Shisui used Sharingan to subdue one of the teams, and used illusion to torture their mission."

After a short pause, Anbu still uttered the news that he dared not confirm.

"Uchiha Shisui told us that Kirinin did this because the three-tailed and six-tailed beasts in the village are now missing."

"All?" Ri Zhan was a little surprised.

"According to Zhishui, it is true."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi thought about Xiao Xu: "Let's step back, find a way to inform Anbu in the direction of Kirigakure, and bring back as much information about the tailed beast as possible without revealing his whereabouts."

"Yes."

The third generation held his back with one hand, and stroked the pipe with the other. This was a thoughtful gesture he had developed into a habit.

A few months ago, due to the sudden civil strife in the country of water and the outbreak of the Iwanin raid war, the peace contract between Konoha and Kirigakure that had been negotiated to be signed was aborted.

After that, Kirigakure continued to invade the eastern coastal area of ​​the Fire Nation with harassing tactics, so that Konoha had to fight east and west, and almost pulled out a supply line across the Fire Nation.

Casualties and material consumption are not insignificant.

It turns out that among them, there is also the reason for the disappearance of the tailed beast?
But isn't that the case.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked back slightly at the young man sitting on the seat of Hokage.

Sure enough, his expression was a little cloudy and uncertain.

"Minato, I'm sorry about Kakashi and Rin."

"But as Hokage of Konoha, you can't be depressed by it."

In Kakashi's report, Lin was planted with three tails by Kirigakure Anbu in her body, which was a vicious plan to directly attack Konoha.

But this vicious trick was broken by the little girl who seemed inconspicuous at first glance.

"That soft-looking little girl is undoubtedly the successor of the will of fire. You don't need to feel sad about it. Your students are all heroes of Konoha."

According to Minato and Kakashi's report, Rinna's body is suspected to have been recovered by Kirigakure.

If it could be said that he still had fantasies about his life before, then the news from Anbe at this moment can undoubtedly conclude that Rin Nohara, an excellent Konoha ninja, is dead.

Although the Tailed Beast is a transcendent and almost immortal existence in the ninja world, it will still disappear for a short time with the death of Jinchuriki.

Even if it will be born again in the ninja world in a way that the world cannot understand, the place where it was born is not easy to test.

Therefore, the disappearance of the three tails can almost show that before Kirigakure had even had time to pull the tail beast from Lin's body, the little girl had completely died.

As for the tailed beast, it also escaped from Kirigakure's control.

It's certainly not good news for Watergate.

But the information that Konoha Kirikage lost not only Sanwei, but also Liuwei is undoubtedly great news.

This means that the Land of Water and Hidden Fog Village lost the final 'hole card' that was gifted and sold by the first generation.

It only needs to put a little pressure on it, and the peace contract that could not be signed before can probably be written again.

And maybe even the money in the contract can be slightly modified by Konoha.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked slightly sideways at the newcomer Hokage who was still somewhat silent.

Minato, this is your first chance to make a name for yourself.

Don't act in a way that disappoints the old man.

Minato finally sighed slightly:

"Sorry, Lord III, I'm a little hesitant."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled lightly and said:
"It's okay, this is your merit, Minato."

"Just as everyone in the village loves you, Hokage must also love everyone in the village, let alone his students."

"Love is the foundation of your ability to take on the role of Hokage, and you must not abandon it."

Before Hirizaki could say the turning point of the next sentence, Minato silently replied:

"But a ninja is to endure what others can't bear, especially for Hokage, right? Master III."

The smile on Sarutobi's face was extremely gratifying: "That's right, Minato, your savvy and determination have always been greatly admired by this old man."

"You will definitely become a great Hokage."

However, Minato unconsciously whispered in his heart, 'savvy' and 'determination'?

I might, I still need a little bit of determination.

His eyes turned slightly: "Master Sandaimu, about the situation at the root that I mentioned earlier."

Ri Zhan frowned slightly, and comforted him: "Don't worry about Minato, I will leave it to the old man for the time being. You are not ready to confront them yet."

"I'll take care of it."

Against.them?

Minato could only nod his head and said, "Then I ask Mr. III to work harder."

But what he said was like this, but he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing in his heart.

Who am I supposed to fight against?
