Conquering the ninja world from capturing the white eyes

Three days later, the ninjas on the front line have returned to their respective villages one after another.

At this moment in Konoha Village, Hiruzen Sarutobi was standing on the roof of the Hokage Building, speaking to the returning ninjas and villagers.

"After everyone's hard work and my mediation, we finally succeeded in driving Kirigakure out of the Country of Fire and signed an armistice agreement with it.

"Since then, we have defeated Kumogakure, Iwagakure and Kirigakure one after another, making all invading enemies fall at our feet!

"The 'Third Ninja War' that lasted for several years has also come to an end, and we are the final victors!

"The war is over and peace has arrived. Let us join hands to create a better tomorrow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd gathered in front of the Hokage Building burst into cheers.

"Long live! Long live! Long live Hokage-sama!"

"It's over, the war is finally over!"

"Hahaha! We win again! I am invincible in Konoha!"

Looking at the cheering crowd below, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but smile.

But when he thought about his upcoming resignation, the smile on his face quickly faded.

To the villagers, he could conceal the true content of the armistice agreement and say that Konoha had won a great victory based on strength.

But facing the great names of the Fire Country, they couldn't hide it no matter what.

The compensation for Kirigakure's 1.5 billion ryo has now been known to the daimyo.

Coupled with the incident of bowing to Iwagakure before and begging for peace, there was no way he could continue to be the Hokage.

Today is the day he leaves office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen pressed his palms, and after the crowd below gradually calmed down, he continued:

"In this Ninja World War, we, Konoha, have fought against powerful enemies, and countless dazzling new generation ninjas have emerged. The most dazzling among them is undoubtedly the 'yellow flash' Minato Namikaze who is famous in the Ninja World!

"Facing Kumogakure, he defeated the powerful enemy and won the speed crown!

"Facing Iwagakure, he killed with thunder and laid the foundation for victory!

"Facing Kirigakure, he turned the tide and stopped the decline on the front line!

"It can be said that without Minato, there would be no victory today!

"I have been the Hokage for more than twenty years. During this period, Konoha has continued to grow and develop. Even after two ninja wars, it is still the number one ninja village.

"However, compared to Konoha, which is still growing vigorously, I am already old, and my strength is no longer what it once was.

"Compared to me, young people full of youth and vitality are more suitable to lead Konoha to continue to flourish.

"Therefore, from now on, I will step down as Hokage, and Namikaze Minato will succeed as the Fourth Hokage!

"Then, let us now invite the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze to appear!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked. After a moment of silence, the crowd burst into thunderous applause.

"Sandaime-sama, really, I cried to death..."

"We in Konoha are really lucky to have the Sandaime Hokage!"

"The Yondaime is indeed Minato-sama, great!"

Amidst the warm cheers, Minato, who was wearing the Hokage God's robe, slowly came to the edge of the roof and looked at the crowd below with a smile.

The next moment he raised his right arm and said loudly:

"I am Minato Namikaze, and I officially succeed the Hokage today. I swear that even if I risk my life, I will protect the village and everyone! Please give me your advice!"

As the words fell, the entire audience cheered in unison, everyone believed that Konoha would get better and better under Minato's leadership.

In the crowd, Kakashi, whose left eye had been replaced by a normal eye, saw a rare smile on his face when his teacher became Hokage.

"Minato-sensei, congratulations."

Minato on the top of the building swept his gaze across the crowd and immediately noticed Kakashi's conspicuous white hair.

Seeing Kakashi's rare smile, Minato couldn't help but feel happy.

'It seems that after these days of adjustment, Kakashi's condition is no longer so bad.'

A few days ago, when Kakashi woke up and found that the left eye entrusted to him by Obito had been taken away by the enemy, he once fell into a breakdown.

Combined with the fact that Lin died in his hands, he even had the idea of ​​committing suicide.

Fortunately, with Minato and Jiraiya patiently persuading him, Kakashi was able to stabilize his mood.

In order to restore Kakashi's energy, Minato asked Sarutobi Hiruzen at that time, hoping that the other party could get Obito's Sharingan back during the negotiation.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen ruthlessly refused this request.

According to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Ayaten had just obtained the Sharingan the night before, and the next day he discovered that the Third Mizukage was being manipulated by outsiders.

This shows that the Sharingan plays an extremely crucial role in this process.

In order to avoid similar things happening again, the other party will definitely not return the Sharingan. In this case, it is best not to mention the Sharingan.

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen refused to agree no matter what, Minato had no choice but to give up and think of other ways to help Kakashi.

In the end, he finally got Kakashi to cheer up again on the grounds that 'the stronger you become, the more chance you will have of taking back the Sharingan'.

Although the state is still far behind compared to before, it is still much better than being autistic and degenerating.

Now Minato can only place his hope on time, hoping that Kakashi can gradually overcome his heart and regain his strength.

After the succession ceremony, the crowd dispersed and Minato and others returned to the Hokage's office.

Before Minato could sit down on the Hokage's seat, Sarutobi Hiruzen said:

"Minato, I have decided on something before, but I haven't had time to do it yet. I leave it to you to do it now."

Minato asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and said calmly: "Move the Uchiha clan from the center of the village to the edge of the village."

Minato was shocked when he heard this and quickly replied:

"Obviously the truth has not been investigated clearly, why do you do this? This will only intensify the conflict between the village and Uchiha!"

From Minato's point of view, there are still many strange things about the Third Mizukage being controlled by Uchiha, and he cannot make any hasty conclusions.

And based on his understanding of Uchiha Fugaku, there was no way the other party would do such a thing.

He originally planned to use his friendly relationship with Fugaku to investigate the matter later.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision was completely contrary to his thoughts.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not intend to listen to Minato's advice and said with a stern face:

"Minato, the Uchiha clan is inherently evil and must be guarded against. Aren't you afraid that they will control you too?

"Even if the Uchiha clan is really innocent, moving them to the edge of the village will help prevent foreign invasion. You have a good relationship with Fugaku, so there should be no problem in convincing him, right?"

The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen was eager to move the Uchiha clan to the edge of the village.

On the one hand, it was because he was worried that the Uchiha clan would rebel and control him or other high-level officials in Konoha.

On the other hand, because Konoha paid a compensation of 1.5 billion taels during the armistice, he wanted to take back the land currently occupied by the Uchiha clan to make up for the losses caused to the village by the compensation.

As for this villain, it is natural that the fourth generation Hokage, who has just taken office, is the most suitable person.

Minato frowned when he heard this and said, "But..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted him:

"Before you took over, I had already agreed on this matter with other elders. It cannot be changed now. If you don't want to implement it, then I will have no choice but to lead the ANBU in person."

After Minato struggled for a moment, he could only accept it reluctantly: "No need, I'll do it."
