The two of them were very close.

It's not that Kushina thinks highly of herself, but her existence is indeed very important to Konoha. If something goes wrong with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, it can destroy half of Konoha.

"Don't worry, Kushina, if I can, I will save some people."

Minato Namikaze didn't want to make his wife sad, and tried to persuade her.

"No, you have to protect yourself."

Kushina shook her head. Compared with her best friend, her husband is more important. Besides, she is not as confident as her husband that this war will go smoothly.

She has the Nine-Tails in her body. When she first met Lu Lin, the Nine-Tails had already reminded her that Lu Lin was very wrong and asked her to stay away from Lu Lin.

At that time, I didn't understand why the Nine-Tails had such a big reaction. Now I think it should be that Lu Lin's strength is enough to threaten the Nine-Tails.

At that time, he was able to scare the most powerful tailed beast. After so long, Kushina didn't think that Lu Lin's strength had not changed at all.

"Don't worry, Kushina, I will definitely come back safely."

Minato Namikaze didn't think so much, just thought that his wife was concerned about him, and carefully hugged Kushina in his arms.

Although the news that Minato Namikaze became the commander this time was not spread, some people still knew it.

Bang!

The door of the Hokage's office was suddenly pushed open, and Danzo walked in angrily:

"Hiruzen, I don't agree to let Minato be the commander-in-chief this time!"

Since Orochimaru no longer participated in the fight for the position of Hokage, Danzo has always been confident that it is a sure thing for him to become the next Hokage.

But after all the calculations, he didn't expect a civilian ninja to appear.

In fact, this is not a big deal. He is just a civilian ninja. As the head of the Root and a high-ranking official of Konoha, he has many ways to suppress the other party's reputation in the village.

But the trouble is that this guy has become the husband of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!

In this way, some of his small actions are not easy to continue, because Sarutobi Hiruzen has personally given him orders, and someone has been watching him.

Afterwards, Danzo could only watch Namikaze Minato's reputation in the village getting higher and higher, and the voices of becoming the fourth generation Hokage became more and more.

This time, the five major ninja villages besieged the Tea Kingdom. This is a bright achievement. Almost everyone believes that this war is a military achievement that is delivered to the door. Danzo is even more reluctant to give this opportunity to Namikaze Minato.

"Namikaze Minato's qualifications are not enough, and his war experience is not much. He is not qualified to be the commander-in-chief."

Since his debut, Namikaze Minato has only participated in one Ninja World War, and he participated as a captain. He is not even a deputy commander.

Therefore, Danzo can attack in this direction and try to dispel Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision.

"This war is not difficult at all, and it is just right for Minato Namikaze to exercise more."

He saw what his old friend was up to at a glance, and said lightly:

"Besides, Minato's strength is enough to be a commander, and there is Nara Shikaku to assist him, so don't worry."

Danzo's face was a little ferocious. Is he worried? After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth:

"Minato Namikaze is still young and has many opportunities to gain experience. Let him serve as deputy commander this time, and the commander-in-chief must be replaced!"

As he was talking, the elders of the Hokage also walked in.

"We agree with what Danzo said, let Minato Namikaze serve as deputy commander first, and he can become the commander-in-chief next time there is a war."

Utatane Koharu said, and Mitomon En nodded in agreement naturally.

Although he was the Hokage, if the elders united to reject his decision, it would be difficult for Sarutobi Hiruzen to make a decision on his own.

"Koharu, Kado En, do you understand what you are doing?"

He didn't expect that these two people would stand next to Danzo this time.

"Huruzen, Danzo is right, Namikaze Minato is indeed too young now."

Tanane Koharu said, and Mito Kado En also chimed in.

"You..."

Looking at the two, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly had a headache. He didn't know what benefits Danzo gave them to make these two people speak to him.

Looking at the hesitant Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo felt much more comfortable. He knew that as long as there were many people who opposed him, with Sarutobi Hiruzen's temperament, he would definitely hesitate and even cancel his own decision.

Strategies.

So before coming here, he found Utatane Koharu in advance and promised her many benefits, such as how much investment he would make in the Utatane family after he became Hokage, how much benefits he would give, etc.

He didn't need to go to Mitomon En, Utatane Koharu would naturally go there in person to talk.

"If Minato can't take the position, what good options do you have?"

Looking at the two elders who "betrayed" him, Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly.

"Let's take Orochimaru. He has enough qualifications and experience, and his prestige among ninjas is also enough."

Danzo said, he didn't say himself, and he knew very well that Sarutobi Hiruzen would never let him take the position of commander-in-chief.

In his opinion, since Orochimaru has given up the fight for the position of Hokage, no matter how high his reputation is, it will not threaten him, not to mention that he has some things about Orochimaru that cannot be seen in the light.

Human experimentation, this is something that the entire Konoha must avoid.

"Orochimaru..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo deeply. He didn't recommend himself, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen a little surprised.

However, Orochimaru is suitable. Regardless of his strength, the identity of the Hokage's disciple is enough, which is more suitable than Namikaze Minato.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen always felt that his old friend was hiding something from him.

"Okay, call Orochimaru over."

Since Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru went out, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt more and more that he could not control his disciples.

Jiraiya was okay. If he really gave a death order, he would listen to it more or less. Orochimaru and Tsunade were different. Tsunade was the princess of Konoha, and the first and second generation Hokage were her grandfathers. He could not force her too much.

Orochimaru is very opinionated and firm in his own opinion. Although he was once the fourth Hokage that Sarutobi Hiruzen favored, unfortunately, his disciple experienced some bad things later, which made his personality unsuitable for the position of Hokage.

He felt that he would be more suitable to become the root of Konoha.

While Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking, Orochimaru in the laboratory also got the news.
