The fifth generation of Konoha Village was booked by me

In Konoha Village, in a mysterious bunker under the Hokage Rock, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat inside and looked at the report in his hand, with a very strange expression on his face.

Not only him, but the expressions on the other three people in the office with him also looked a little strange.

Fortunately, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan moved to bed. Although such information shocked them greatly, they also knew that this matter actually had little to do with them, so they could still remain calm.

Danzo Shimura's face looked very disgusted at this time, because he never expected that Natsuhiko, a boy from the Senju clan, would actually do such a terrible thing in Sunagakure Village!

More than a hundred sand ninjas, including at least two Anbu brigades and their captains, all fell in his hands.

What kind of strength is this?

Danzo Shimura didn't know, but he knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi was probably very confused now. If this information was submitted by other ANBU members, they might not believe it easily.

But the problem is that this information was passed back by Murashima Takumi and others!

Murashima Takumi was personally promoted by Sarutobi Hiruzen and has been the head of ANBU to this day. Anyone in Konoha could deceive Sarutobi Hiruzen, but Murashima Takumi would never do it.

Because this guy is a pure tool, a perfect ninja!

"This kid is really interesting." After being silent for a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly sighed quietly: "I didn't expect that he was so perfect. It seems that I still underestimated him."

"This brat is an extremely uncertain factor, Hiruzen." Danzo raised his head and glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then he said extremely seriously: "I'm afraid his strength is beyond your control, right?"

Faced with Shimura Danzo's question, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not answer.

Because Danzo Shimura was right about this, Natsuhiko's strength was indeed slightly beyond his control.

The information transmitted by Murajima Takumi was delayed, and he also obtained more information, so this information also recorded many things in more detail.

For example, among the people Xia Yan killed, except for those killed by him using ninjutsu, the others basically only had one fatal injury!

This shows one thing, that is, Xia Yan, a kid, has reached an extremely high level of mastery of the Flying Thunder God.

In addition, Natsuhiko seems to have fought against Chiyo.

Because Murashima Takumi and the others were in the River Kingdom and close to the Wind Kingdom, one of them found a place that was completely in ruins, with chakra fluctuations everywhere, and deep pits all over the ground.

Especially since this place has been cleaned up, they still found many puppet fragments.

The battle was like that, and one of the warring parties was using a puppet. I am afraid that everyone would think of Chiyo immediately.

Or maybe it was the person they met last time who looked like a scorpion in the Third Brigade!

No matter who the opponent was, the damage caused by this battle was very terrible, and Murashima Takumi and the others did not find any trace of Natsuhiko being captured in Sunagakure Village.

Therefore, they concluded that Natsuhiko might have won the battle and had now run out and returned to Konoha.

This kind of strength was indeed beyond Sarutobi Hiruzen's imagination, and it did make him feel that this kid from the Senju clan was not so easy to control.

"It seems that you also agree with my statement." Danzo looked at the silent Sarutobi Hiruzen and couldn't help but continue to say indifferently: "I have long said that you should hand him over to me, and I will make him a A qualified ninja belongs to Konoha, but you..."

"Okay Danzo, you overstepped."

Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted Danzo, and he shook his head calmly.

“Actually, you and I both know the potential of this brat Xia Yan.

Although he has reached this point faster than we imagined, it is not that unexpected.

And don’t forget, everyone always has their own desires and their own prices.

By coincidence, I kind of knew what this kid was thinking, and I also roughly knew what his price was.

So, that’s it for now! "

What is Xia Yan's desire?

That is the Hokage. He wants to eventually become the Hokage and change the status quo of the Senju clan by continuing to rise to the top in Konoha.

And his price is not an embarrassing thing for Sarutobi Hiruzen, because Sarutobi Hiruzen can completely afford such a price!

The easiest way to control a person is to give him what he wants, but not give everything.

Through constant exchange of interests and constant guidance, this is the best way to control. Sarutobi Hiruzen is very skilled in this approach.

"You..." Danzo choked on Sarutobi Hiruzen and was speechless for a moment, but soon he asked angrily: "Does he want the ANBU minister? He wants the Hokage? Will you give it to him?"

"Of course I can give it to him, as long as it's in my interest."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded indifferently. He didn't know that Natsuhiko had said similar words to him a few days ago.

"So what if the ANBU minister gives it to him, so what if I give him a promise as the Hokage?

The exchange of interests is never a shame. It can make Konoha stable and better. This is the key.

Besides, the current Hokage is not me. "

Danzo was speechless when he heard what Hiruzen Sarutobi said, because he knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi could say this, which meant that he had already planned to do it!

During the Third Ninja War, the reason why Hiruzen Sarutobi was willing to give up the benefits that Konoha deserved from the winner of the war, and even gave Iwagakure a lot of preferential treatment, was to allow Konoha to get a long-term and stable recovery time.

Taking too much, he was worried about Iwakaku's rebound.

Even if Iwagakure agreed, he was worried that such a loss would weaken Iwagakure too much, making them appear powerless when facing Kumogakure.

After all, although Kumogakure's madmen have temporarily ceased war with Konoha, they have not signed any agreement.

No one knows when these lunatics will suddenly come back to cause trouble for Konoha!

Stability is the key. It is more in line with one's own interests to exchange one part of the benefits for another. Sarutobi Hiruzen will never miss it.

"The stability gained by this method is worthy of you!" Danzo Shimura thought of this and stood up directly: "Do you really think you can control that kid? You will regret it sooner or later."

"The things I have decided have basically proven him right over the years." Sarutobi Hiruzen also stood up: "To control a person does not necessarily mean to completely brainwash a person like you. This It is inconsistent with long-term policy.”

"So, what's going on with Takumi Murashima?"

"Tokai? He is an excellent and perfect ninja, that's all."

...

While Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others were looking through the information, Namikaze Minato was also checking some information.

Unlike the complete information obtained by Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, the information he obtained was information that was relatively fragmented and had a certain delay.

After all, a lot of information will not be passed to him immediately, but will be reviewed first by people like Sarutobi Hiruzen and others who are closer to the ANBU.

In the end, it was decided that the information would be handed over to him as soon as possible, and the information would be handed over to him later.

After all, Namikaze Minato is also the Hokage, completely cutting off the contact between the ANBU and the Hokage, and even covering up the information, this approach can be regarded as rebellion!

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew the rules, and he would not do such a stupid thing, but it would be good for him to delay the submission of information for no more than one day.

He could make good use of this day to get more things for himself or make more preparations.

That was the case this time, but this time in addition to Natsuhiko, there was also Kakashi who also followed.

Although they never saw Kakashi's description in the intelligence, it was Natsuki alone from beginning to end.

They thought that in order to allow Kakashi to evacuate better, Natsuhiko took the initiative to divide his troops into two groups, attracting the enemy himself while Kakashi escaped from other places.

But they didn't know that Kakashi had separated from Natsuhiko long ago and was hiding in the Country of Grass.

Therefore, Kakashi continued to transmit the information he collected to Minato Namikaze through the ninja dogs. Even if it was not so accurate, it was still very important.

"It's incredible. This boy Xia Yan's talent for the Flying Thunder God seems to have reached an unimaginable level."

Although there is not much intelligence information, the intelligence collected by Kakashi also has many interesting things to say.

That is, the enemies Xia Yan faced were basically killed instantly, and they only had one fatal wound.

According to this description, it is obvious that Xia Yan uses the Flying Thunder God Technique, and his Flying Thunder God Technique has reached an unimaginable height!

"In addition, Natsuhiko and Kakashi actually caught that woman in Ye Cang. It seems that the harvest this time is really big."

Namikaze Minato naturally knew about this woman Ye Cura, but he really didn't expect that this woman would be caught so easily.

And just when their mission had just begun and they had just entered the Kingdom of Wind, they encountered a sudden attack by this woman.

According to what Kakashi said now, Natsuhiko asked them to bring this woman back, and it is completely conceivable what they will do in the future.

No matter which village it is, it will be interested in this kind of blood inheritance limit, and they will do whatever it takes to get it in their hands for research.

Namikaze Minato is also a person who has experienced a cruel war. Even though deep down he feels that it is not good to do so, he has learned a lot during this period.

That is, for the benefit of the village, it is necessary for him to make some decisions that are against his personal wishes.

Just like they need to make some deals with guys who everyone seems to be bad guys when necessary, sometimes they also have to abandon some guys who everyone seems to be good guys.

There was nothing that could be done about it, and there was nothing Namikaze Minato could do to change it.

"Xia Yanli's contribution this time is really too great, and the impact and damage he caused to Sand Hidden Village was also unexpectedly large. How should such contributions be rewarded?"

Namikaze Minato was very troubled by this matter, because he really didn't know how to reward Natsuhiko for his outstanding performance in this mission.

The first point is that Natsuhiko has become the captain of the ANBU, especially since his appointment time has not even come for a month.

The result is that under such circumstances, he achieved such a major achievement, no matter who he was, it would be a headache.

Is it possible that the position of ANBU Minister should be handed over to him at this moment?

Obviously this was impossible, even if Namikaze Minato wanted to he couldn't do it, because the ANBU really wasn't his decision.

Putting down the information in his hand, Namikaze Minato shook his head. Since he couldn't do anything, why not wait and see what the Third Hokage and the others planned to do?

Until now, ANBU had had very few opportunities to speak, and even if he issued an order, it might not be effective.

Instead, a lot of counterarguments will be presented to him, forcing him to give up many of his original ideas.

He could feel as if a pair of hands were pulling him, moving forward on a path with the Third Hokage and others as the core of his thoughts.

In fact, sometimes Namikaze Minato will seriously think about why he sat on this Hokage for what purpose?

Now it seems that it is just the Sandaime and the others who intend to create a person who is in line with what they think is the best direction for Konoha and who firmly believes in their ideals and continues to move forward.

"What's the difference between this and a puppet?"

Namikaze Minato shook his head helplessly. He would not deny the series of stability that Hiruzen Sarutobi had made for Konoha, nor would he deny that under the leadership of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Konoha was indeed growing steadily.

But everyone is an independent individual, and everyone has their own ideas.

Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen's idea is correct, it does not apply to everyone, and it does not apply to every critical time point in Konoha.

Do we have to let our own people be wronged in order to pursue stability blindly?

For example, why after defeating the Earth Kingdom, he did something that seemed to be good for Konoha, but it greatly damaged Konoha's morale.

Just like Uchiha, why don't you try to let them return to Konoha, but keep monitoring and isolating them, and even watch them drift away?

Namikaze Minato sighed helplessly. He could see the benefits of Hiruzen Sarutobi doing this, but he could also see the disadvantages of doing so.

It's just a pity that the former Hokage firmly believes that he is the most correct choice, and he may not listen to himself at all.

And as the current Hokage, he has naturally become the least authoritative Hokage...
