From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 342: The desire for power can devour people’s hearts

In fact, Kevin's original plan did not include any intention to contact Minato Namikaze.

During the war at Konoha's Kamubi Bridge, Uchiha Obito was targeted by the hidden Black Zetsu and Uchiha Madara. This was an event that had been known for a long time, so Kevin went there.

However, what they caught were only two White Zetsu clones that died deep underground.

Uchiha Madara might be afraid of me because of his old age, but he would never have such a mind or thoughts.

So...Nohara Lin became the next target.

After the Flying Thunder God technique was performed, he was ready to wait for Uchiha Madara's next move.

In addition...at this point when the second batch of students are about to graduate, it can be foreseen that the size of the Rain Country is no longer sufficient to expand the school.

Expanding outward and liberating and enlightening the mind have become things that must be done.

With a sharp knife in mind, the desire to kill arises naturally. In a world without the Otsutsuki, it is natural to think that using force to open a path is the most convenient option.

With the Flying Thunder God Technique and the domineering aura that can repel chakra, there is currently no force in the world that can stop him.

So even if he came to Konoha in person, or even to the Hokage Building, he had no fear.

But a word from Minato Namikaze changed Kevin's mind.

They advocate the use of force and are indifferent to life. It seems that unknowingly, the so-called divinity is growing naturally and unnoticed.

Knowing that the consequences of using force are unpredictable, they still naturally choose to use force to overcome everything.

……

Konoha, commercial street.

In an izakaya, Kevin and Minato Namikaze asked for a private room.

However, as he passed a corner of the hall, Kevin looked around.

"call……"

Sighing, Kevin reached out and was about to put his hand on Minato Namikaze's shoulder, but the other party tensed up and turned around to take action, but Kevin anticipated everything.

"Shh."

The two disappeared from the spot.

The two people who had just lowered their heads to drink in the hall also suddenly looked up.

"Time and Space Ninjutsu."

"One of the three ninjas, Jiraiya's disciple. With the approval of the Hokage, he mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Second Hokage."

"So we've been discovered?"

"Not necessarily. Go back and report to the captain. Everything about Minato Namikaze needs to be reported."

"It's a critical moment once again."

"Silence."

……

The outskirts of a training ground in Konoha.

Kevin and Minato Namikaze appeared in the woods.

"You should know about being monitored, right?"

Kevin looked at Minato Namikaze with a puzzled look on his face: "After knowing my identity, you still have no scruples... Are you upright? Or are you stupid?"

Minato said seriously, "They are all ninjas from the village. Although they are on special missions for some reasons, they are not enemies."

This was said so naturally that for a moment even Kevin couldn't tell whether it was true or not.

Although he became the Fourth Hokage with the help of Sarutobi Hiruzen after the Third Ninja World War, he should not be naive in any way.

Those in power... having a pure heart is not a compliment.

"What do you want to talk about, sir?"

Minato thought for a moment and bowed slightly: "It was just a natural reaction of my body just now. I'm really sorry."

Kevin waved his hand.

After a while, he thought of the entrance to test.

"You brought back two of the three disciples. Among them, Hatake Kakashi's father, Hatake Sakumo, died. Do you know?"

Hearing this Minato frowned.

"I have heard about what happened to Sakumo-senpai. Although it is a pity and it does violate the ninja's principle of putting the mission first, I don't think that senior did anything wrong."

"It is said that?"

"Any questions?"

"If you only heard about it, then your opinion of me is too low."

Kevin looked at the man who would be known as the Sun in the future.

He is very sunny, and there seems to be no trace of darkness in him.

Thinking of this, Kevin continued: "During the Warring States Period, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan were at war. At some point, the clan leaders of both sides knew that their sons had become friends with the other's sons... What do you think these two clan leaders would do?"

Minato frowned and thought about it.

His thoughts had already been led along after Kevin's explanation.

He didn't notice it, but Kevin knew why.

Using force to make people submit will only make them realize the importance of force, but using force to prove one's position is the most appropriate thing to do.

After a while, Minato said, "During the Warring States Period, the relationship between ninja clans was like the relationship between countries today. In addition, as the clan leader, he will definitely put interests first."

"We can consider taking the other clan leader's son hostage to achieve our strategic goals, whether it's to boost morale or force the other party to rescue us."

Kevin smiled.

"It seems you are not stupid."

"Then as the son of the clan leader, the interests of the family are equivalent to the interests of the current village, which is also the mission."

"Do you think that the two friends should cooperate with their father to hold each other hostage, or even kill each other?"

This made Minato stunned.

Friends, tasks, interests...

After the three parties became entangled, he could no longer give an answer quickly.

In the past, he was just a ninja of Konoha. He only needed to study and train hard in the Ninja School, complete his tasks hard after graduation, and complete his training when practicing with Teacher Jiraiya.

He mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, and the name of Golden Flash resounded throughout the ninja world. This was the result of his hard work.

Everything is in accordance with the rules and there is no need to think too much.

"Take Hatake Sakumo as an example. It is obvious that the sons of the two clan leaders were wrong. They betrayed their own clans and should be blamed by everyone. They should even apologize."

Kevin's voice sounded again, and Minato Namikaze did not object to this point of view.

But the next moment, Kevin's smile was strange and meaningful.

"But if I tell you... when the two sons of the patriarchs were ordered by their father to contact each other and ambush behind, they simultaneously threw stones to warn each other."

"And... when one of them is named Senju Hashirama and the other is named Uchiha Madara, do you still think they should commit suicide to apologize?"

After he finished speaking, Minato Namikaze stood there in a daze.

Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, of course he knew who these two people were.

They ended the Warring States Period and established the Ninja Village system, ending the chaos of the Warring States Period. They are known as the two heroes of the Warring States Period and are also the founders of Konoha.

"In the thirty-eighth year of Konoha, Jiraiya, one of the current three ninjas of Konoha, gave up his mission and chose to save his teammate Orochimaru."

"In the 23rd year of Konoha, Sarutobi Sasuke chose to abandon the mission and chose to save the clan leader of Ino-Shika-Chou's generation."

"Konoha..."

A series of documented intelligence records made Minato Namikaze look more and more confused. After a while, Kevin finished talking about the only part of the intelligence records of the Rain Country.

As the war center among the three major countries, the records they have are only a small part.

"So now what do you think is the real cause of Hatake Sakumo's death?"

Kevin looked at Minato Namikaze.

The golden flash shook his head slightly, frowned and said nothing.

He really doesn't know.

The image of the Third Hokage has always been tall in his eyes. Although the village is sometimes inhumane, there is definitely a reason for the existence of the system.

For example, Kushina must stay in the preparation site for the seal, and another example is Kushina's hometown, the Land of Whirlpools.

"People's hearts are fickle... Power will become people's desire, and foolish people will attribute everything to their own principles."

Kevin exhaled. "He was in the way, and was thrown out as a shield. The function of a shield is to block arrows. If it can withstand the attack, it can continue to be used. If it can't withstand the attack, it will be shot through."

"The name of Konoha White Fang is known throughout the ninja world, and the village's ninjas have great trust in him. During this period, the war in Konoha was intense, and the trust of the Third Hokage was gradually eroding."

"Rumors spread throughout the village that the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was responsible for the defeat. Who do you think was considered the Fourth Hokage at that time?"

Minato murmured, "Sakumo-senpai?"

Kevin: "Let me tell you another story... As a disciple of the Sannin Jiraiya, you must be able to investigate some of Konoha's documents, but the secrets in them will definitely not be recorded."

"After the death of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, led his disciples to Kumogakure to form an alliance. The Kinkaku and Ginkaku in Kumogakure rebelled and hunted down the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama and others."

……

"Sarutobi Hiruzen was the first to speak and chose to cover the rear, followed by Danzo. The position of the Third Hokage was handed over to Sarutobi Hiruzen by Senju Tobirama himself."

"Several years later, Sarutobi Hiruzen became the Third Hokage, and Danzo became one of the decision-makers, forming the Root, which is the so-called Darkness under the Big Tree."

……

After the story was told, Minato Namikaze's expression was very interesting.

In all these years, he had never heard so many secrets, and no one had ever told him about the factors behind them.

But he was able to master the Flying Thunder God Technique, and he was able to develop the Rasengan soon. He was also able to further develop the Flying Thunder God Lightning Guide based on Professor Kushina's sealing technique...

Minato Namikaze's thinking is imaginative, and his understanding and wisdom are by no means superficial.

At this moment, he thought of a lot of things, even thinking about the first question, about the death of Senior Sakumo, and he also understood the deep reasons behind it.

At this moment in the woods, both of them fell silent.

After a long time...

"gentlemen."

"Ah."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because... maybe you will be the next choice of those people."

"choose?"

"The White Fang of Konoha... the golden glitter of Konoha... don't you think they are very similar?"

During the conversation, Minato Namikaze understood what this meant.

The fourth Hokage, will he become the Hokage?
No, there is also a possibility that he will be plotted against like Hatake Sakumo-senpai.

and many more!

At this moment, Minato Namikaze's pupils suddenly contracted.

As for Obito, Kakashi and Rin, if it weren't for the Flying Thunder God Technique, they would also have to face a choice during this mission on the Kamahabashi Bridge.

Save the disciples? Or carry out the mission?

With his own personality, he would most likely choose to rescue Kakashi and Rin, but Kakashi's previous personality would definitely lead to the same accusations that Sakumo-senpai faced at that time...

Even the subordinates who were rescued blamed him for his decision to abandon the mission.

For a moment, Minato Namikaze's forehead was covered with sweat.

"Don't worry, you're not the same as Hatake Sakumo."

Kevin didn't see the other person's association and thought he was just worried about his own situation.

"As Jiraiya's disciple, from the moment the master-disciple relationship was confirmed, you were naturally labeled as Sarutobi Hiruzen."

"The Sarutobi clan was the witness of the friendship between Ino-Shika-Cho, and was also the giver of the earrings. Together with the Hinata, Kurama, and even this generation's Uchiha, Hatake Sakumo is far, far inferior to you."

Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief.

He truly felt unprecedented pressure from these sudden words.

Holding hands and laughing happily can only be a game, not politics.

"Sir...what is your purpose then?"

Kevin smiled when he heard this.

"Even compared to Orochimaru, you are much better than him in this aspect. The fact that you can ask me about my purpose proves that you have begun to learn to analyze the internal representative issues of the incident."

Kevin paused and said, "I...want to liberate this world. Not just the Rain Country or the Fire Country, but the entire ninja world."

Minato asked doubtfully, "Liberation?"

Kevin: “Liberation of thought, liberation of labor, liberation of oppression, liberation of destiny… You can understand it as change, that is, changing the world.”

At this time, Kevin looked in a certain direction in the woods.

The only one who could practice so hard, so late in the evening... was that child.

The father who had been a ninja all his life told his son at the last moment of his life: The so-called strength is not a title or power, but the ability to truly protect the people who are important to you when it is needed.

Minato also sensed Might Guy's presence at the same time.

"gentlemen?"

Kevin waved his hand: "After Matt Day's life lesson, he is more awake than anyone else."

Kevin stood up after saying that.

"Only after enlightenment can power be returned to the people. And the path to peace also follows after this."

"So I need to create a school in the Land of Fire. Before that, I want Sarutobi Hiruzen to agree. He also has to agree."

"But after meeting you, that sentence made me understand some truths that I had lost in the past. So I think maybe you are a good choice."

Minato Namikaze also stood up and wanted to say something, but Kevin raised his hand to stop him.

"Not now."

"Before that, I will come to you. After you understand what war and peace are, we can discuss the affairs of the academy."

Kevin said as he threw a kunai with his coordinates on it.

The next moment, Kevin disappeared from the spot.

Minato Namikaze looked at the kunai in his hand, then looked at Might Guy who walked out of the woods.

"Uncle...that person?"

"A friend who knows a lot of things and a lot of stories."

Might Guy's eyes were full of hope: "He seems to know my father very well."

Minato thought for a moment and replied, "If you want, I'll take you with me when he tells the story later."

Matt Guy: “Really?”
