Master, Please Become a Hokage

He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Minato Namikaze knew that the next step was to get everyone to accept the return of the deceased.

Regardless of whether the Third Hokage ordered it or not, bringing the dead back to the world was unacceptable to most people.

Minato Namikaze understood this very well.

But with the memories of his previous life and the future, he knew...

Once the Impure World Reincarnation was used, people would gradually accept its existence...

Therefore,

Regarding the election for the next Hokage, Minato Namikaze did not feel certain of winning.

Because he knew that the pressure on him was immense.

Young Master Sarutobi Ryo was his biggest competitor.

Once he mastered the Eight Inner Gates, he would no longer be an ordinary ninja.

The limit of the Eight Inner Gates even far surpassed things like Sage Mode.

With Young Master Ryo's talent, it wouldn't be long before he could open all Eight Inner Gates.

Of course, he wouldn't directly activate the Eighth Gate unless it was absolutely necessary.

But even if he only opened up to the Sixth Gate... he would become an extremely troublesome existence.

Most Kage-level ninjas wouldn't be able to withstand a few moves under the Sixth Gate.

A few top powerhouses would be instantly defeated and crushed in one round when facing the Seventh Gate of the Eight Inner Gates.

Only Lord Hashirama and Madara Uchiha could confidently say they had the power to contend with the Seventh Gate...

After all, the amplification and power output were simply too exaggerated...

Remembering Guy's battle with Six Paths Madara in his previous life...

Shadows began to flicker in Minato Namikaze's eyes.

He knew very well.

Young Master Ryo's talent was even above Might Guy's.

So when he used the Seventh Gate, he would inevitably be stronger than Guy...

In a few years, even without using the Eight Inner Gates, Young Master Ryo might be able to blow the Nine-Tails out of Konoha with a single blow, just like the Third Hokage... to that extent.

If the Eight Inner Gates were added on top of that, it would be simply terrifying...

Minato Namikaze was filled with anxiety about the Fifth Hokage election.

He believed that only with the return of the Second Hokage could everything be changed.

From a political standpoint, to crush his opponents...

Young Master Ryo had made a fundamental political mistake.

But with that being the case.

Obito's side would also be somewhat problematic.

But it wasn't a big problem.

Back then, the Second Hokage was able to appoint Kagami Uchiha as his Hokage guard.

So Obito could still become the same kind of existence.

It's just... Obito's dream of becoming Hokage would never be realized again.

Because once the Second Hokage appeared, he would never allow the Uchiha clan to become Hokage...

However, this matter was not without a solution.

As long as everything was settled, the Impure World Reincarnation was dispelled, and the Second Hokage returned to the underworld...

Obito could continue his dream...

What Minato Namikaze was thinking about at this time was not entirely the question of whether the Uchiha were evil.

Because he really liked Obito as a disciple.

And believed that Obito had the qualifications to become Hokage.

What Minato Namikaze was considering... was actually the issue of the Fifth Hokage election.

If he could never become Hokage.

Then, even if Naruto was born on time.

Facing a father who was not the Hokage, Naruto... might not have the dream of becoming Hokage.

Would Naruto, who didn't want to become Hokage, still be that Naruto?

Considering all of this, Minato Namikaze decided that this time... he would no longer hesitate.

He must make up his mind and seize the position of Fifth Hokage.

"This matter... is no small matter..."

Mito Uzumaki said somewhat vaguely.

Obviously, this required careful consideration.

The next few days would probably be spent carefully thinking and researching this matter...

After all, the return of the dead was a major event that would cause huge waves, and without careful advance planning, there would be huge problems...

"Danzo, Tobirama's techniques are still in your hands, right..."

Mito Uzumaki looked at Danzo Shimura.

As a ninja who inherited Tobirama's dark side, Danzo had done a good job all these years, diligently taking the blame for Konoha and enduring all the darkness.

And after Tobirama passed away.

What Danzo inherited, in addition to darkness... was also... Tobirama's legacy.

Among them, was the research on Wood Release, Impure World Reincarnation, and other forbidden techniques.

Minato Namikaze was throwing out a hint, and naturally knew.

In his previous life's memories, Orochimaru, who didn't have the right to view the Book of Seals, got the research sources for the Book of Seals and Wood Release techniques... all from Danzo Shimura, who inherited the Second Hokage's legacy.

So some things didn't need to be done by himself.

As long as the things that should be done were done by those who should do them...

Each performing their own duties, each seeking their own position...

"Yes, Lord Mito..."

Danzo nodded and replied.

The legacy of Tobirama Senju was, of course, all in his hands.

Over the years, he had continued to conduct research, and even used this to win over Orochimaru.

But Orochimaru had recently split from him, acting aloof and distant.

Obviously, the two were about to break up.

As a researcher, Orochimaru was an excellent researcher.

But...

His personality made it impossible to trust him.

The research had come to a temporary end, and Danzo felt a bit of a headache.

Now that Minato Namikaze had brought it up, it was a very good opportunity.

Perhaps various research projects could be launched again...

As for the return of the Second Hokage.

It was time to restore Konoha to its original appearance.

Chapter 133. When are you going to marry Minato?

Shisui Uchiha's official joining of the Anbu heralded the beginning of a new era.

With Mikoto Uchiha's previous honorary position, Shisui Uchiha had now begun his career of carrying out Anbu missions.

Because of the increase in status, Shisui Uchiha was no longer anxious and hesitant.

He revealed confidence, and his own excellent talent began to stand out.

Although he didn't awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan like Obito.

He, who already had a basic version of the Sharingan, was still progressing at a rapid pace.

In terms of social skills, Shisui Uchiha was very good at maintaining connections on the surface.

No one who had cooperated with him or carried out missions together had anything but praise for him.

This was also the same as in the original story.

Prejudice began to slowly change.

More and more people recognized Shisui Uchiha as a ninja.

And thus began to agree to the Uchiha clan joining the Anbu.

Ryo Sarutobi believed that it wouldn't be long before the name "Shisui of the Body Flicker" would appear.

Because Shisui Uchiha possessed outstanding talent in terms of Body Flicker Technique and other techniques.

Ryo Sarutobi was also not stingy in teaching such an outstanding junior the unsealed Body Flicker Technique that he had learned from Sakumo Hatake.

Shisui Uchiha, after learning the unsealed Body Flicker Technique, would be even more powerful than in the original story.

Of course, the same would be true when he awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan one day.

There was also one more thing...

With Shisui Uchiha receiving Ryo Sarutobi's protection, things changed.

In the official Naruto novel, it was mentioned that Shisui Uchiha's father was injured in the Ninja World War.

Like countless ninjas who had devoted themselves to Konoha.

Shisui Uchiha's father was also a ninja with the Will of Fire.

However, his elderly father, who was infected due to his injuries and whose condition was worsening, possibly leading to death.

Was also relieved because Ryo Sarutobi directly dispatched Rin Nohara to help with the treatment.

Medical resources... were rare commodities in any world.

Without connections, it was sometimes difficult to get the best treatment.

Ryo Sarutobi, who knew the plot in advance, chose to change this tragedy.

The infection of Shisui Uchiha's father's injury was contained, and he recovered to health.

Shisui Uchiha, without losing his father, would have a harmonious family and could devote himself to the village without any worries.

And a complete family would also be the cornerstone of many people's mental health.

Although some people needed to experience life and death to grow more.

Not all tragedies needed to be allowed to happen.

After all, strictly speaking, Shisui Uchiha's father had served the country and was a veteran.

Under the circumstances of his injury, he needed to be properly taken care of no matter what.

As time passed.

Shisui Uchiha also slowly became familiar with Itachi, who often came to Ryo Sarutobi's residence.
