The news that Hokage Orochimaru had died was strictly sealed. Few people in Konoha knew about it, only a few high-ranking officials and Mitarashi Anko.
The death was kept secret!
Ninjas were specially arranged to use the transformation technique to transform into the appearance of Orochimaru and wander around the village every day to calm people's hearts.
In order to prevent the death of the Hokage from causing unrest in the village.
In particular, some families must not be allowed to know the news.
The two advisors Mitomon En and Utane Koharu said several times that the Sarutobi family and the Shimura family must not be allowed to know the news that the Hokage was gone.
These two families are the strongest in Konoha now, except for the Hyuga family.
If the Sarutobi family knew that Orochimaru was dead, they would definitely nominate Asuma to be the Hokage.
Not to mention the Shimura family, Danzo's ambitions had long affected his clansmen.
Before the death of the third generation, Danzo wanted to be the fifth generation Hokage, and the Shimura family was jumping up and down for a long time.
Later, Danzo saw that there was no chance, so he retreated to the second best and nominated Orochimaru.
The Shimura family immediately followed Danzo and supported Orochimaru.
This is why Orochimaru became the fifth generation Hokage so smoothly.
"For now, there is only the fourth generation."
In the meeting room, the doors and windows were all closed, and there were only three people in the room, Nara Shikaku, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu.
Shikaku's words made the two committee consultants stunned for a moment.
Mito Kado En said: "Who are you talking about?"
Utane Koharu also looked at Shikaku with horror.
Shikaku said: "It's the Fourth Hokage, he has been resurrected by Mizuki. When Otsutsuki Pushiki attacked the village that day, the Fourth Hokage appeared and met Yamashiro Aoba."
"But since then, he has disappeared again. According to my guess, he should be in Phoenix Village in the Land of Birds now."
Mitomon Enjo said: "It would be great if it is really Minato. With him back to take charge of the situation, it will be stable."
Utatane Koharu also nodded and said: "Yes, since Minato has been resurrected, the position of Hokage is of course his. Go and invite him back immediately."
Shikaku was hesitant and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and never said it.
Men Yan frowned and said, "Shikaku, what are you hesitating about? Minato is the best candidate for Hokage. Even if Hiruzen is alive, I will choose Minato."
Shikaku sighed and said, "It's not that I hesitate, but I'm worried that even if I find Minato, he won't agree to come back."
"You also know about Uzumaki Naruto."
"As Naruto's father, you should be able to imagine how Minato feels after knowing what Naruto experienced in his childhood."
"From the Hiura-style attack on Konoha, Minato came to the village but didn't take action. It can be inferred that he probably hates Konoha."
Mito Men Yan and Utatane Koharu were silent.
Yes, as a parent, who doesn't want their son to have a happy childhood?
If Naruto was hated by the villagers just because of his identity as a Jinchūriki, Minato wouldn't think much, because the childhood of Jinchūriki is mostly unfortunate.
But Naruto is obviously the son of a hero. If the villagers knew Naruto's true identity, even if he is a Jinchūriki, they would not hate him. Instead, they would love him more because of the relationship with the Fourth Hokage.
Unfortunately, Naruto's identity was kept secret.
The meeting room fell into silence.
After a long while, Mitomon En gritted his teeth and said, "Stupid Hiruzen, Konoha's current situation is all caused by his stupidity."
Utatane Koharu said, "It's too late to scold now. When he chose to conceal Naruto's identity, although we did not agree, we did not explicitly oppose it. If we look into it, we are also responsible."
"The most urgent task is to find a way to win Minato back."
"Konoha is now in a period of transition. If Minato does not come back, the village will really fall."
" We can't let the first generation, with the body of the Impure World Reincarnation, work hard for the affairs of the village again. "
Mitomon Yan looked at Shikaku and said, "You are quick-witted. See if there is any way to bring Minato back."
"No matter what the price, Minato must come back."
Shikaku nodded and said, "I will try my best. As for whether I can succeed, hey!"
On the day the meeting ended, in Konoha Village, the topic of Uzumaki Naruto being the son of the Fourth Mizukage Minato Namikaze once again became the topic of discussion.
He is obviously the son of a hero, but he has been regarded as the son of a demon fox since he was a child, like a rat crossing the street.
Many people are
Regret, regret why they treated Naruto like that.
Some people even came to the Konoha Cemetery, cried in front of Minato's tombstone, and kowtowed to apologize.
There were so many people that there was a long queue at the entrance of the cemetery.
Someone else suggested writing a sincere apology letter, attaching the autographs of all the villagers, and sending it to Phoenix Village in the Land of Birds, asking for Naruto Uzumaki's forgiveness.
This proposal was recognized by all the villagers, so the apology letter was soon issued, and the villagers also spontaneously lined up to write their own signatures.
Konoha Village became very lively.
Then another news came out that Naruto's identity was deliberately concealed by the third generation.
The third generation wanted to control Naruto in this way.
The villagers of Konoha were all used by the third generation.
When this news came out, Konoha was blown up, and the villagers were furious. They wanted to rush to the cemetery and dig out the body of the third generation and whip it.
The power of public opinion is terrible, and the third generation was directly nailed to the pillar of shame.
The villagers who once loved him now hate him and spit on him.
The Sarutobi clan was unhappy. Several clan elders wanted to protest to the Hokage Building, but the clan land of the Sarutobi clan was surrounded by angry villagers, and the clan elders could not go out.
They were very angry, but they had no choice in the face of so many villagers.
They did not dare to attack the villagers, because the Anbu hidden around them were not vegetarians.
"Shikaku, why is this?" Asuma asked angrily.
Shikaku sighed: "Asuma, Konoha has reached a critical moment of life and death. We are helpless to do this."
Asuma scolded: "My father sacrificed himself for Konoha. Even if he did something wrong, his contribution cannot be erased. He dedicated his life to Konoha, and now he is dead. Is this how you treat him?"
Shikaku said: "Asuma, do you know that the fifth generation is dead!"
"What?" Asuma was shocked.
Shikaku: "The current fifth generation is disguised by the Anbu to prevent the villagers from causing commotion after knowing it."
"Asuma, Konoha is in a period of transition and no one in the village can take on the responsibility of being the Hokage. After discussing with the two consultants, the only result we got was to let the fourth generation return to the village."
Asuma was even more surprised.
"The Fourth Hokage? Didn't the Fourth Hokage die?"
Shikaku said, "He has been resurrected and is now in the Land of Birds, but because of Naruto, he is unwilling to return to Konoha. Even after his resurrection, he has not met his old friends in the village."
"He hates Konoha, and it is your father who caused all this."
"We respect the Third Hokage, and we are even more unwilling to desecrate the dead."
"But the village has come to this point, we have no choice. If the Fourth Hokage does not come back, the village will really be desperate."
"I was forced to make such a choice."
"I just hope to ask for the Fourth Hokage's forgiveness, and then come back to continue to preside over the overall situation."
Asuma remained silent, his eyes full of struggle.
On one side is his father, and on the other side is the future of Konoha. He can't decide which is more important.
Not everyone is like Uchiha Itachi, who can give up family affection for the village.
"Asuma, I hope you can understand."
Asuma's fists loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened.
At this moment, his heart was in a mess.
A series of events related to Uzumaki Naruto in Konoha spread rapidly under the promotion of Konoha's top leaders.
The apology letter to Naruto was also sent to the Land of Birds at the fastest speed.
In a few days, the apology letter was delivered to Phoenix Village.
Minato, Kushina, and Naruto all read it. The apology in the letter was indeed very sincere, and every word expressed sincere apology.
Minato and Naruto were somewhat moved after reading it, but Kushina was indifferent.
"Humph, belated affection is cheaper than grass."
"I heard that Naruto's true identity was known to people during the Chuunin Exam in Iwagakure, but Konoha was indifferent."
"Now they are suddenly playing the emotional card. I think they probably know that you, Minato, have been resurrected and want to beg you to go back."
It has to be said that women's intuition is always accurate and scary.
When they heard that there was a purpose, the touch in Minato and Naruto's hearts immediately disappeared.
Kushina looked at Minato and asked, "I emphasize again, if you dare to return to Konoha, we will divorce immediately."
"The child belongs to me!"
"Also, no visitation allowed!"
