Starting the fourth generation Hokage

The sky is clear and cloudless.

The scorching sunshine at noon is scorching everything on the earth. It is midsummer, the hottest time of the day.

Konoha Village still has a prosperous atmosphere, with business travelers and villagers walking between the streets. If you put aside the scorched earth of Konoha Gate and the small ruined streets behind the gate, Konoha Village at this moment is not as peaceful as before. There is no big difference.

At this time, in Konoha Hospital.

In a quiet ward with complete facilities, elegant layout.

Namikaze Minato slowly woke up, his blue eyes staring at the ceiling for a few seconds before he gradually recalled what happened before he fainted.

Thinking of Kyuubi, he hurriedly opened the white quilt covering himself. Peel off the blue tight top and look towards your abdomen.

Then a spiral sealing technique was discovered. On the periphery of the black seal formed by the technique, there were four crooked tadpole-shaped independent marks.

Feeling that the Kyuubi inside his body seemed to be sleeping peacefully for the time being, Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the four-image seal created by Jiraiya was not very pretty, but it was still effective. The performance came out.

"Hokage-sama?! Are you awake?" A woman's surprised voice came from outside the ward door.

Namikaze Minato turned around and saw Riane in a white windbreaker.

She seemed very surprised that Namikaze Minato could wake up so quickly. After quickly pushing the door open, she came to the hospital bed. She first took stock of the former's mental condition, and then said with a faint smile: "Jirai My lord, the seal seems to have been completed very smoothly."

"Is there anything else unusual about your body right now?"

Namikaze Minato looked at Rine's concerned eyes and tried his best to squeeze out a gentle smile, expressing that he had no physical abnormalities due to the Kyuubi, but in his heart, he felt a little strange.

As a member of the barrier class, why does Riyin appear here?

But before he could learn more, the door to the ward was opened again, and then a man with two scars on his left face and a pineapple headband walked in.

After confirming that Namikaze Minato's complexion was fine on the hospital bed, his eyes clearly felt relieved.

"It seems that I came here just in time..." Nara Shikaku laughed at himself in embarrassment, then walked to the bedside, and while speaking, he respectfully handed over a document in his hand, and at the same time said: "Hokage-sama , this is the casualty report from yesterday’s Kyuubi incident.”

"In addition, the advisor and others are waiting for you to wake up."

"If you are okay, there will be a high-level meeting at 5 p.m., and you must be present..."

Namikaze Minato smiled helplessly and had no choice but to take the report document.

For such a big thing as the Kyuubi Incident, high-level meetings afterwards were of course indispensable, but judging from Nara Shikaku's tone, the consultant seemed very anxious.

And I’m afraid the afternoon meeting won’t be short.

The reconstruction of the destroyed area of ​​the village, the legacy of the sudden sacrifice of the three generations, the accountability of the Uchiha clan and the Kaleidoscope problem of Fugaku, as well as the problem of him making the decision without authorization and becoming a Jinchuuriki, will probably all need to be resolved urgently by then.

While Namikaze Minato was quickly reading the documents and reports, Rione on the other side seemed a little dissatisfied and couldn't help but said: "Captain Shikaku, Hokage-sama has just woken up, and you haven't even done a recovery check by the medical staff. You are just like this Are you anxious?"

Nara Shikaku was scolded and could only smile awkwardly.

Although he didn't know where the inexplicable complaints from the newly promoted Captain of the Formation Squad came from, he was afraid of women and trouble, so of course he would not choose to refute anything.

What's more, as a jounin captain, he will probably have more work dealings with the barrier class in the future, so there will be no need for disputes.

At this time, Namikaze Minato had basically finished reading the casualty report quickly.

Looking at the rows of numbers and the list of countless victims on the back page, his heart was still a little heavy.

Although this time the Nine-Tails Rebellion was compared to the original work, because it was prepared in advance and under orderly command, a fierce battle with the Nine-Tails was fought, but death was always unavoidable.

As a jounin, the backbone of the village, more than forty people died in this battle. As for the number of special jounin and chuunin sacrifices, it is even greater.

According to memory, the number of official Jonin in Konoha at this time was less than three hundred.

If the Konoha Ninja Village is compared to a person, then the genin are the various organs of the human body, the chunin are the human skeleton and muscles, and every jounin is the essence and blood of the village.

This is still under preparation. You can imagine the Kyuubi Rebellion in the original work. If the Kyuubi was unprepared for the Kyuubi, the loss to Konoha would be great.

If we want to say the biggest difference between the two, it should be to avoid the disaster of Kyuubi breaking into the village and causing havoc. In the original work, when Namikaze Minato rushed back to the village, the large buildings inside Konoha had become miserable...

After closing the file, Minato Namikaze glanced at the clock on the wall. It happened to be around four o'clock.

Knowing that there was not much time, he hurriedly prepared to get out of bed and make preparations.

"Hokage-sama, are you going back to the office building now?" Nara Shikaku saw Namikaze Minato getting out of bed, and suddenly said: "That's good, I will go with you..."

Nara Shikaku will basically attend most high-level meetings.

Because he has at least two positions, one is the captain of the jonin who represents the majority of Konoha jonin, and the other is the staff officer who is the genius military strategist of Konoha.

Because the people of the Nara family generally have high IQ. Therefore, the head of the Nara family is also the only one who is allowed to discuss politics in the Land of Fire, because they are always the first to come up with the best strategy.

Namikaze Minato didn't think too much, and nodded while thinking about other things.

Who knows that Rin suddenly stopped him and said: "Please wait a moment, Lord Hokage."

The two of them couldn't help but look at him at the same time, but Rin looked like he wanted to say something but stopped. Although she already understood that Namikaze Minato was basically fine, and the physical recovery examination was probably not necessary.

But she obviously had other things to say at this time.

Nara Shikaku probably noticed something from Rin's cold eyes. After a quick thought, he suddenly said tactfully: "I almost forgot. Sorry, Hokage-sama. I'd better leave first, because I suddenly remembered that I have to go to the Intelligence Department..."

Under the surprised eyes of Minato Namikaze, Nara Shikaku quickly slipped out of the ward.

Rin showed a little satisfaction on her face at this time, and then suddenly changed to a serious expression and said: "Hokage-sama, please take a few minutes to go and see the child..."

Child? What child?

Namikaze Minato was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and said in surprise: "Are you talking about Naruto?"

"Is he also arranged in the hospital?"

Rin nodded and confirmed: "After Senior Kushina passed away, you fell into a coma last night after sealing the Nine-Tails."

"So..., I took him to the hospital without authorization."

As he said, Rin carefully looked at Namikaze Minato's face, and when he found that the latter did not show any displeasure, he was relieved.

Namikaze Minato certainly would not blame Rin for taking the initiative. If it were not for her reminder, he might have really forgotten the existence of Naruto. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but thank him: "Captain Rin, thank you very much, it really helped a lot."

"Since Naruto is here, I'll go over and take a look..."

Thinking of taking care of a baby in the future, it might not be an easy task, but now that things have come to this, he can only take care of it with all his heart.

After all, Naruto was exchanged for Kushina's life.

When Rin heard that Minato Namikaze was going to visit Naruto, she was obviously very happy to lead the way, and walked ahead with a happy face.

Minato Namikaze followed behind, and the two of them left the ward together.

Along the way, the medical ninjas and Konoha ninjas who were receiving treatment in the corridor all looked at Minato Namikaze with awe, and Minato Namikaze nodded in return.

"Hokage, has your son's name been chosen? Is it Naruto?" Rin, who was walking in front, asked at this time.

After getting Minato Namikaze's approval, Rin suddenly sighed and said, "Naruto Namikaze, what a good name..."

Minato Namikaze was stunned when he heard these four words suddenly.

In the original work, Naruto, who was without parents to take care of him, did not take his father's surname, but his mother's surname. This may be for protection, or it may be for the inheritance of the Uzumaki clan.

But no matter what the reason is, now that he has survived, the name Uzumaki Naruto seems no longer necessary.

Thinking of this, he tacitly agreed with what Rin said.

At the same time, he silently said in his heart: Then I'll call him Namikaze Naruto...
