The two sides of the battle were in chaos.

Sarutobi Hiruzen recommended Minato Namikaze to become the fourth Hokage.

Danzo recommended Chiba, who was more prestigious than Minato Namikaze.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen left Danzo speechless with just one sentence.

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with gritted teeth.

The Fire Country Daimyo half-covered his face with a fan and asked, "What do others think?"

Everyone except Danzo nodded slightly.

Danzo now understood.

Utatane Koharu and Mitomon En were on Sarutobi Hiruzen's side. The three of them had already communicated and isolated him.

The Fire Country Daimyo announced: "Then the Fourth Hokage will be Minato Namikaze."

...

After returning to Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen summoned Minato Namikaze alone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Minato Namikaze who was kneeling on one knee in front of him with a serious expression and asked: "I have always believed that you are the successor of the will of fire. I want to entrust the future of Konoha and the future of the ninja world to you. Are you willing to accept it?"

Minato Namikaze replied seriously: "I will try my best to respond to the trust of the third generation!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly: "I originally planned to hold the succession ceremony in a better environment, but the road ahead of you is still very bumpy..."

Minato Namikaze said with a firm look in his eyes: "I am mentally prepared!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled: "I believe you can do it. Next, you will prepare for the succession ceremony. Now I will tell you what you will do after you succeed."

Minato Namikaze listened to Sarutobi Hiruzen's instructions.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Next, after you become the fourth Hokage, the first thing you have to do is to appease the Uchiha clan. Now, because of Chiyu's targeting and our deliberate blindness, the Uchiha clan is very dissatisfied with us.

So when you become Hokage next, you should appease the Uchiha clan as soon as possible. You can praise them verbally, but don't promise them anything in substance.

Chiyu's targeting of the Uchiha clan was authorized by Danzo and me. The Uchiha clan is now like a cancer growing on Konoha. We must solve the problem of the Uchiha clan as soon as possible."

Namikaze Minato's eyes flickered.

He had long guessed that Chiyu's targeting of the Uchiha clan must not only be due to Chiyu's hatred with the Uchiha clan.

After all, when Chiyu was on the battlefield, it was already a clear revenge on the Uchiha clan, but there was only one time when the Konoha high-level expressed criticism of Chiyu.

But it was just criticism, and there was no other substantial punishment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued, "Next, after I step back, Danzo and I will continue to work on the Uchiha clan's problem and solve this hidden danger of Konoha.

And Minato, you will prepare to clean up your own team and form your own guard team.

After the Uchiha clan's problem is solved, you need to solve the problem of the Root.

After you take over as Hokage, you will definitely come into contact with the Root, but you probably don't know much about this department.

The Root is the Anbu training department. This organization is located under the shadow of Konoha, and its roots are deeply rooted in the darkness. Its biggest goal is to secretly eliminate those who will hinder the prosperity of the village. The obstacle of Rong.

Therefore, the Root is more hidden than the Anbu, and what it does is more shady. If there are some things that are inconvenient for the Hokage to do, then the Root will do them. The Root is the most direct and effective sword of Konoha, and it will eliminate all threats inside and outside the village with the attitude of "rather kill by mistake than let go".

But now the Root is an independent organization, led by Danzo independently, and even I cannot directly intervene in the affairs of the Root.

After the problem of the Uchiha clan is solved, you have to prepare to solve the problem of the Root and regain control of the Root in your hands as the Hokage. "

Namikaze Minato nodded, indicating that he understood.

After taking a puff of his pipe, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued, "The next thing is about Danzo. Danzo... How should I put it? Danzo is an extreme person with tough means, but he is truly doing good for Konoha.

But he has always had an obsession, that is, Hokage. Danzo supports Orochimaru and Chiba, and he is most likely to get involved in the position of Hokage, so he is likely to cause trouble for you later.

But don't worry, I will keep an eye on him, and you can govern Konoha according to your own ideas and rhythm."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said a lot, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

Put the teacup

After putting it down, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked casually: "Minato, the conflict between you and Chiba seems to be very deep, right?"

Namikaze Minato said seriously: "Don't worry, Lord Hokage, the conflict between us is nothing compared to Konoha! I will adjust it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said solemnly: "No, I want to remind you to be careful of Chiba. Chiba is like Orochimaru. He is very mysterious and seems to be very loyal to Konoha on the surface, but I can feel that Chiba is not as loyal as he seems. He just wants us to think that he is very loyal to Konoha, so as to relax our vigilance against him.

Chiba and Orochimaru are the same kind of people. They do things very extreme. It is not clear what he is thinking.

You can Employ Chiyu as a subordinate, Chiyu is very qualified and a very capable general, but you must not trust him! If necessary... you can take measures to suppress him in advance.

Chiyu is very strong now. I saw the shadow of Uchiha Madara in him. If Chiyu is not controlled, it is very likely to cause great losses to Konoha.

However, with Kushina in Konoha, you don’t need to worry too much about Chiyu getting out of control, so you must be cautious about Kushina’s arrangements.

It can be said that Kushina is crucial to keep Chiyu loyal to Konoha on the surface. "

Minato Namikaze was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to be so afraid of Chiyu.

However, Minato Namikaze thought about it carefully and he should be afraid of Chiyu.

Chiyu now has a title.

He destroyed half of the Hidden Mist Village and killed the Blood Eyed Shura of the Third Mizukage.

Looking back at Chiyu’s record, Chiyu’s record is quite gorgeous.

Compared with Chiba, Namikaze Minato felt that his record was not good enough.

Namikaze Minato nodded and said, "Hokage-sama, I remember everything you said."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said, "Well, then you go back first. Being a Hokage is not a rush. I will help you."

Namikaze Minato promised, "Yes, thank you for your trust, Hokage-sama. I will definitely work hard for Konoha!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled gently, "I believe you will do it. Okay, go."
