Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Konoha Ninja Village.

After attending the two-hour high-level meeting, Namikaze Minato dragged his exhausted body back to the Hokage's office.

After returning to the office, Minato Namikaze did not deal with official duties as usual, but looked out the window. Looking out the window at the peaceful and peaceful village, Minato Namikaze fell into deep thought.

Just at the high-level meeting just now, Namikaze Minato was attacked by other high-level officials.

Although the advisors and elders assisting the Hokage did not openly oppose him, they began to oppose the reform policies he had formulated in the past few months.

The faction led by Danzo believed that he was too indulgent towards Uchiha.

Uchiha's decision to stay in the security force was made by the Second Hokage. Even though you, a young boy, have become Hokage, you cannot violate the ancestral laws established by the Second Hokage.

The Third Hokage and his leader are accustomed to the previous set of rules and believe that maintaining the status quo is enough. There is no need for drastic reforms. What should we do if there is an irreversible crisis?

If it were just these objections, Namikaze Minato could barely ignore them and continue to implement the set of reforms he formulated.

Although the consultant elder is an old man in the village, he has been in a high position for too long and his thinking has gradually become rigid.

But the ninjas who were skeptical of the reform were not only the advisory board of elders, but also his friends, his subordinates, and Uchiha Fugaku, who had just reached a cooperation.

This made Namikaze Minato begin to doubt whether his reforms were right or wrong.

After all, the silence of his friends Shikaku, Choji and others could be attributed to the pressure from the family behind them, but the opposition of his civilian ninjas and some Uchiha ninjas made him unable to understand.

Reforming the rhetoric of Konoha's major departments is obviously beneficial to their future development.

However, these people did not support him. Instead, they fished in various ways during the implementation, delaying the implementation of the policy, which directly caused the reform to do more harm than good.

Thinking of this, Namikaze Minato sighed softly, recalling his meeting with Yahiko a few months ago.

At that time, after hearing that Yahiko encountered difficulties during the reform, he still felt a little contemptuous in his heart. He thought that unlike Yahiko, the reform would go very smoothly with the support of the Third Generation.

But what I didn't expect was that the biggest 'resistance' in the reform was the Third Hokage and his companions.

It is difficult for the Third Hokage to attack as the senior who nominated him, and it is impossible for his former companions to demand anything.

On the contrary, at the root where Danzo and Orochimaru are, reform measures can be implemented smoothly, and the progress is pretty good.

However, according to Yahiko, it is inevitable to encounter some difficulties during the reform.

As long as you have the ability to face these difficulties, if you can't, you can only use special means.

Sometimes it is easier to deal with political opponents than the difficulties themselves.

Namikaze Minato didn't know where Yahiko learned these methods from, but he had to admit that Yahiko's words made some sense and were very consistent with the style of the Third Hokage period.

During the Third Hokage period, Hokage always showed the bright side, while the dark side was left to Danzo, forming two opposite and complementary sides of light and shadow.

However, he doesn't like these methods.

The Hokage's responsibility is to protect all his companions in the village, so how can he attack the ninjas of the same village, let alone let others bear his dark side.

Of course, the most important thing is that Namikaze Minato can't find a ninja to act as a white glove.

Although Danzo, the leader of the Root Organization, is a good candidate to take the blame, Danzo is the white glove used by the Third Hokage after all. It is impossible for him to completely trust Danzo and must be severely suppressed.

Among the many ninjas he knew, the only one who had the ability to act as the dark side of Naruto was his own student Kakashi.

But Kakashi has been in the darkness for too long and can no longer touch the darkness of the village.

After pondering for a long time, Namikaze Minato still couldn't think of a suitable candidate, so in the end there was only one choice. He himself would be the bad guy, showing the toughest attitude and offending everyone. .

Naruto is Naruto and does not need to be divided into dark and light parts.

He was determined that the reforms he was carrying out were for the benefit of the village, so there would be nothing to fear.

Thinking of this, Namikaze Minato's eyes became much firmer, he turned around and looked behind his desk, and began to issue Hokage's warrants one after another.

A few hours later, all the jounin in Konoha's major departments received the Hokage's warrant.

In the Hokage's warrant, Namikaze Minato used an extremely tough attitude, requiring the heads of major ninja clans and departments to implement the reforms promulgated two months ago.

Regardless of whether they, the Jonin, object to it or not, reforms must be carried out as required.

Unless he retires as Hokage, he will never give up reform as long as he serves as Hokage for one day.

Faced with Namikaze Minato's tough words, the jounin of various departments could only bite the bullet and implement reforms.

They originally wanted to fight a protracted war with the Fourth Hokage and delay the reform again and again until Minato Namikaze gave up on the reform, but they did not expect that Minato Namikaze was ready for a protracted war.

Although they were unwilling to reform, they were also unwilling to offend the young and energetic Fourth Hokage.

What's more, if they are not the head of the department, their deputy has been waiting for a long time and is ready to take their place at any time.

As for impeaching the Fourth Hokage, it's not like they haven't thought about it in their minds.

But at this moment, apart from Minato Namikaze, there is no other candidate suitable for the position of Hokage, and no one is more suitable for the position of Hokage than Minato Namikaze.

After all, although it takes the consent of most of the senior ninjas to become a Hokage, the key is still hard power.

At the moment when the Third Hokage resigned, Minato Namikaze was the strongest ninja in the village. The title of Golden Flash and his record on the battlefield of Iwagakure were the best proof.

Moreover, all of them, the senior ninjas, knew that the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki Kushina was the wife of the Fourth Hokage.

After receiving the order from the Hokage, the contemporary Pig, Deer and Chou combination was stunned for a moment, and then ordered the family ninjas to strictly implement the orders of the Fourth Hokage.

They were watching before, but after seeing Minato's tough attitude, they also made their choices.

They knew the benefits of reform, but they were worried that Minato would be influenced by the advisory elders. Although Minato was the Fourth Hokage, the retired Hokage was still the Hokage and maintained most of the power in the village.

Minato Namikaze's actions to reform the department were not only for the village, but also to gather power.

Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza and others have good personal relationships with Namikaze Minato, but they will not choose to stand on the side when the situation is unclear, unless they have a great advantage.

In their opinion, the final winner of the contest between the Fourth Hokage and the Third Hokage must be the Fourth Hokage, because youth represents everything.
