Konoha: Opening Binding Namikaze Minato

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

Inside the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat at his desk, puffing on a cigarette in one hand and tapping the table rhythmically with the other.

He silently looked through the documents on the table and said slowly: "Namikaze Enmon, um, he is actually Namikaze Minato's brother."

I mean, no wonder the two of them look so similar.

but……

Sarutobi Hiruzen first looked at Enmon's report card, and then Uminogawa's records and evaluations.

Overall, my grades are average, my talent is mediocre, there are no highlights, and I'm even a little... afraid of death.

Then his brows widened. At least Namikaze Enmon had a good understanding of the will of fire, and he was a person who knew how to cherish his companions.

If Yanmen knew about it at this moment, he would definitely have something to say, and it would be worthwhile for him to deliberately get high marks in the Will of Fire course.

In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided not to interfere with Kushina and Enmon.

Of course, the most important thing is that even if he wanted to interfere, he probably wouldn't be able to. Uzumaki Mito, the "Great Emperor", is not dead yet.

As the wife of the first Hokage, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and currently the strongest being in Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to ask or even listen to Uzumaki Mito's opinions many times.

It can be said that a large part of the reason why he was able to secure the position of Hokage back then was because of the support from Uzumaki Mito, otherwise he would not have been able to sit still.

Even if he is the heir appointed by the second generation before his death, so what, who is Uzumaki Mito? Senju Tobirama is a younger brother to her.

Well, he is a real brother!

Senju Tobirama is not afraid of Hashirama, his eldest brother, but the only thing he is afraid of is Uzumaki Mito, his eldest sister-in-law.

Therefore, as one of the six disciples of Senju Tobirama, Hiruzen Sarutobi is a younger brother in front of Uzumaki Mito.

It is no exaggeration to say that back then, if Mito Uzumaki was willing, she could succeed him as the Third Hokage at any time, and there was no role for Sarutobi Hiruzen at all.

But for unknown reasons, Uzumaki Mito did not choose to "grow a yellow robe" and instead supported Sarutobi Hiruzen as the Hokage.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen respected and feared Uzumaki Mito, and sometimes even wished that she would...

Ahem, stop, stop.

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly stopped this dangerous idea.

Although the existence of Uzumaki Mito did affect his majesty as Hokage, in any case, it was precisely because of Uzumaki Mito that he barely managed to intimidate all countries.

Even though countries are now getting ready to take action, large-scale wars have never broken out.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of cigarette and sighed: "Oh, peace..."

······

It's approaching noon.

The Hokage Building once again welcomed a guest.

This man looked a bit sinister, with a pair of dead fish eyes showing a fierce light. When he entered the Hokage Building, he walked straight towards Sarutobi Hiruzen's office. Everyone nodded to him to show respect, and no one dared to stop him.

Katsa.

The door to the Hokage's office was pushed open again. This person, like Uzumaki Mito, didn't even knock on the door, and stood out with a bold face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head with an unhappy expression, and was about to scold him when he realized that it was his good friend...comrade-in-arms.

His brows instantly widened and he asked: "Duanzo, why are you here?"

"Why, can't I come if you have nothing to do?" Danzo glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Hokage hat placed next to him, and said calmly.

Damn it, this position of Hokage should have been mine!

Humph! Just wait, Sarutobi, sooner or later I will take back what belongs to me with my own hands!

Faced with Danzo's attitude, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not angry. On the contrary, he said angrily:

"This is not like you. The Danzo I know always comes to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. Tell me, why did you come to see me today?"

At this time, Danzo was not disabled, his eyes and arms were still intact, but the "X"-shaped scar on his chin had already existed.

He stood in front of the desk, staring at Sarutobi Hiruzen with his two dead fish eyes for a long time, and then took out a scroll from nowhere.

"I have received news that Kirigakure may be taking action in the near future, but their target cannot be determined yet. What is certain at the moment is that they are contacting other surrounding countries."

"What? Damn it, do they want to start a war at this time!?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up from his seat, quickly took the scroll from Danzo's hand and started reading it.

Danzo said harshly: "It's not yet certain whether they are targeting us, but we have to guard against it. In addition, there is another news worth noting..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up at him, frowned and asked, "Any other news?"

"According to reports, the commotion in Amegakure Village has been getting louder and louder recently. Under the leadership of Hanzo, their strength has greatly expanded, and they have the potential to become the sixth largest ninja village. In my opinion, this momentum must be curbed as soon as possible.

, otherwise Yuyin will definitely become a serious problem for us!"

It has to be said that Danzo's vision is not problematic. His only problem is his obsession with being the Hokage, and as time goes by, this obsession will slowly turn into paranoia. In the end, in order to achieve this goal,

He will do whatever it takes.

And now Sarutobi Hiruzen is still the same Shinobu hero. He nodded and expressed his agreement with Danzo's statement, but as the Hokage, he cannot act like Danzo.

He shook his head helplessly: "Although I really want to do something to Yuyin Village, the current situation does not allow me to do so. If one thing affects the whole body, if I am not careful, the war will completely break out!

"

Danzo was furious, "Stupid! Do you think that if we don't do anything, the war will not break out? What should come will come sooner or later, and what we have to do is to seize the initiative!"

"It's best to take advantage of the fact that all countries are unprepared and take the initiative to destroy Yuyin Village in one fell swoop, and then capture the Kingdom of Rain. When the time comes, we will rely on the Kingdom of Rain as the battlefield. We can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat. We can take the initiative

The power will be firmly in our hands."

The more Danzo talked, the more excited he became, saliva flying from his mouth. He had even begun to imagine that Konoha, under his wise leadership, would successfully occupy the entire ninja world. Then he took advantage of the situation and proposed that Hiruzen Sarutobi abdicate and succeed him as Hokage.

However, the next second, Sarutobi Hiruzen poured a basin of cold water on him to wake him up.

"No, we can't do this. The impact will be too great. If one person is not good, we will be attacked by a group."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said seriously: "Hanzo is in charge of Rain Hidden Village, and he is not as weak as we thought. Once we are dragged into the quagmire of war in the Rain Country, the other countries, especially the four countries of Thunder, Earth, Water, and Wind, will never

Sitting back and watching, they have been coveting the land under our feet for more than a day or two, so we can only wait and see what happens."

"Even if there is a war, we cannot be the first to take action. The best choice for us is to remain unchanged in response to changes."

"With our foundation, if the war starts one day later, we will be able to increase our strength."

Compared to Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen is more rational, and he looks at the problem from a more comprehensive perspective. Danzo's argument is indeed feasible, but the risk is too great, and he cannot take the risk.

If something goes wrong, he will become Konoha's eternal sinner. How can he face the previous Hokages in the future?

Therefore, no matter what, he cannot take the lead in provoking a war.

This is true whether it is now or in the future!

"Sarutobi, you..."

Danzo was so angry that he was trembling all over. He pointed at Sarutobi Hiruzen and couldn't say a word for a long time.
