Pirates: I will first max out the domineering color if I am not dead

Namikaze Minato was silent for a moment: "The war is not over yet, small-scale wars are still going on."

"So, according to the Third Hokage, Lord Xia Le and his men may need to stay there for a while."

Kakashi grinned, as if mocking: "Teacher, don't become someone else's puppet."

Namikaze Minato shook his head and looked at the other party seriously: "Don't you believe me, Kakashi?"

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course I believe you, Minato-sensei."

"The Uchiha clan's problems are complicated."

"But I promise, I will take care of this!"

Namikaze Minato said solemnly.

"it is good!"

Kakashi nodded and left.

It was seven days before Minato took over as the Fourth Hokage.

The news reached the northwest border, to the Konoha base.

"What did you say?"

"Minato took over as the Fourth Hokage?"

When Uchiha Fugaku heard the news, he jumped up from his seat.

Yes, he just jumped up.

The passion I had some time ago was like a bucket of urine poured over my head. I calmed down completely and even trembled with anger.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you old fox!!"

Fugaku started cursing in the tent without any mercy.

During this period of time, he was so ambitious that he came up with at least ten ways to compete for the position of the Fourth Hokage.

But he didn't expect that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen would cut off his firepower and do everything before he returned to Konoha.

Inside another tent.

"Patriarch Fugaku is scolding the Third Hokage, what's wrong with him?"

Shisui said with a curious look on his face.

"Haha, losers in the struggle for power usually look like your clan leader."

"To describe it in four words, it's furious!"

Xia Le said with a smile.

Itachi glanced at his teacher, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.

"Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to act like this in front of your teacher, Itachi!"

Xia Le said with a smile.

"What I want to ask is, teacher, do you really have no idea about the position of Hokage?"

Itachi blinked curiously.

These words stunned everyone in the tent.

Xia Le was also slightly surprised when he heard this.

"It seems that you are very aware of your father's recent troubles."

Itachi smiled shyly.

"The position of Hokage?"

Xia Le began to think carefully.

Everyone was listening and waiting attentively.

"If I had to describe it in one sentence, that would be it."

"How could a man who was once the master of the world be interested in the position of village chief?"

"hehe!"

"If there's anything of interest."

"Of course he is the king of the whole world!"

Shisui's eyes widened, "You want to be the Kage of the Five Nations?"

"I can only say that I am slightly interested."

“But not big.”

"I don't take power very seriously."

Xia Le shook his head and said.

"So what are you interested in?"

Itachi asked.

"strength!"

"I am only interested in the powerful forces in the world I live in!"

"Because strength is the greatest guarantee for the safety of yourself and those around you!"

Xia Le said with a smile.

Everyone was stunned, and then began to think about something.

Chapter 498 Orochimaru’s Sage Mode

Looking at the expressions on the faces of the little guys in front of him, Xia Le smiled and continued.

“When people live in this world, they must understand what is their most precious thing.”

"Family, friendship, and love."

"Dream, freedom!"

"Wait, wait, wait. These are things worth protecting with your life."

"Instead."

After a pause, Xia Le seemed to be mocking her.

"The so-called Will of Fire!"

Shisui sat there blankly, it was the first time he heard such a theory and he felt like he had come into contact with another level of knowledge.

The fixed mindset formed by being a ninja was rudely broken and re-established.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Elder Xia Le said was right.

After teaming up with Nagato and others, Shisui deeply felt the birth of something else.

It's not just cold missions, but full of friendship between companions. Everyone cherishes each other's existence and is willing to give their lives for each other.

And what Xia Le said about working hard to gain strength was precisely to protect this friendship.

"The Uchiha clan is not a race full of hatred and negative energy."

"The reason why we have more hatred is that we cherish family, friendship, and love more than anyone else."

Xia Le said with a sigh.

Shisui listened in a daze, agreeing inexplicably in his heart.

"Shisui, if there is an irreconcilable conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan, what will you choose?"

Xia Le suddenly asked.

"Village group, family?!"

Shisui was stunned and fell into deep thought.

Soon, his expression became conflicted, and it was obvious that this choice was very difficult for him.

"Of course I choose my family, Brother Shisui!"

"Nagato, Yahiko and Konan are all family."

"They are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect us."

"And the village is using us to secretly fight for power and profit!"

"The village doesn't love us at all!"

Uchiha Itachi said in a baby voice.

Hearing the three-year-old Itachi's words, Nagato and the others, who had been silent all laughed in surprise.

Xiaonan stretched out his finger and scratched its little nose: "Our little weasel has his own thoughts!"

"Humph, I am also a ninja who has experienced life and death with you guys!"

"Don't underestimate me!"

Itachi said proudly, his hands on his hips.

These words caused everyone to laugh again.

Xia Le sat there and nodded with satisfaction. The young Itachi's thinking had obviously been corrected by him.

"I know how good my family is to me, and I cherish the friends around me."

"But let me take action against the village."

Shisui was in trouble.

Xia Le didn't say anything more.

He knew very well that for Shisui, a kind and responsible child, Konoha already had considerable weight in his heart.

However, Konoha's actions this time have obviously offended Fugaku's self-esteem.

All the preparations he had made were turned into nothing after Minato Namikaze succeeded as Hokage.

No one knows what will happen inside the village when this team returns.

It can be said that Fugaku, as the clan leader, was originally neutral, but with the revival and rise of the Uchiha clan, his ambition gradually made him lean towards the hawkish faction.

This time the Hokage incident has completely pushed him towards the hawkish perspective.

But even so, everyone could not rush back to the village, because the war was definitely not over and was still going on.

time flies.

Fugaku finally calmed down. Faced with the established facts, he had no choice.

Moreover, Namikaze Minato has already sent a messenger. As long as they return to the village, the duties of the guard team can be handed over to the Uchiha again.

This can be considered a compromise and transaction in a sense.

After all, if Uchiha controls the guard team and adds the Akatsuki team, his say in Konoha will not be small.

Although before, under the instruction of the Third Hokage, the villagers were not very willing to send their children to the Akatsuki team, but this team has now developed into a very strong team.

Fugaku's anger was calmed, which also meant that the potential conflict between the two sides was temporarily eased.

In the leaves.

The Anbu scattered throughout the Uchiha clan's territory were withdrawn.

However, the Uchiha elites led by Fugaku and others are still on the battlefield and cannot return.

Obviously, this was something the Third Hokage had deliberately considered.

Give Minato Namikaze some time to adapt and completely consolidate his position.

And at this moment, a major event happened in Konoha.

"What? Orochimaru defected?"
