Naruto, the strongest Uchiha from signing in

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe, the tobacco burned quietly, wisps of smoke lingered, his cloudy old eyes were like a famous sword, seeing through people's hearts

"How about Hatake Kakashi? The son of Konoha White Fang, he also made many contributions in this war."

Mito Kado En recommended him, and Danzo nodded slightly. Hatake Kakashi is indeed a talent, but it's a pity that his teacher is Namikaze Minato, otherwise he would probably accept him into the Root.

"Hatake Kakashi has another mission recently. He is qualified to lead the team independently. The ninja team that signs the peace treaty with Kirigakure must be the elite of the elite. Won't your Root send someone?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said loudly, changing the subject. The tentative meaning in his words was almost obvious. The Root's actions recently were too blatant.

"Forget about the roots. After a war, talents will be lost. Since you don't have a suitable candidate, how about I recommend an outstanding talent, Uchiha Kagetsu, how about it?"

Mito Kado En and Utatane Koharu looked at each other. If Uchiha Kagetsu went to Kirigakure, I'm afraid the peace treaty ceremony would immediately turn into a declaration of war ceremony.

"It just so happens that the conditions of the Hidden Mist Village include returning the seven ninja swords, and they will notify him to make the necessary compensation conditions later. After all, they are personal spoils of war."

While he was talking, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly interrupted. This trick that showed his true colors immediately made Danzo's veins bulge.

"After Uchiha Kagetsu's mission is over, he will be assigned to work under Namikaze Minato. I heard that he is a friend of Uchiha Obito, so I think he will be happy to replace Obito."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's purpose was obvious, and Danzo's face became more and more ugly. He knocked the cane in his hand heavily and asked sternly

"What do you mean? Monkey!"

Let Uchiha Kagetsu replace Uchiha Obito and become Namikaze Minato's subordinate. This is clearly to win over the Uchiha and want Uchiha Kagetsu to help Namikaze Minato take over as the Fourth Hokage.

"Nothing, just want to ease our long-standing relationship with Uchiha, let the new era's affairs be handled by the new era's people, we old guys should take this opportunity to step down and trust those outstanding children."

Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed, ignoring Danzo's cold expression, and turned away

"Since the monkey has decided, let's just execute it. There is really no more suitable candidate besides him."

The two Hokage advisors turned and left. Danzo snorted coldly and walked away quickly with his cane.

The sky was gloomy, the stars were dim, and outside the Konoha Village, there was a dark corner that no one could notice.

"It seems that Sarutobi is determined to nominate Minato Namikaze as the Fourth Hokage, so we should prepare early."

A burst of laughter made Danzo confused, and he turned his head to look at the figure with cold and hard lines, which was hard to make people like at first glance.

"What are you laughing at? Orochimaru"

"For him, he even gave up his most proud disciple, me. As expected of Sarutobi Sensei, he is really a heart of stone."

"In order to achieve our goal, the means we use have to become tough and dirty. The necessary preparations have been completed. I will not give up easily. The position of Hokage......"

The smile was cold. The one who held the power of Konoha was not limited to Konoha. It was not the character of a snake to let him give up the prey easily.

A snake that could give up its prey would have to be full and couldn't eat anything else. But Orochimaru's appetite could not be satisfied by a mere Hokage.

Two flowers bloom, each with its own beauty.

In the Hokage office building, in the mission release hall, Kazuki, who was resting and practicing the new Mangekyō Eye Technique, twitched her mouth. She wondered if the Third Hokage had Alzheimer's disease.

"Huh? You're crazy to ask me to be the envoy for concluding a peace treaty!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyebrows kept twitching, and he looked like he knew it would be like this. He coughed twice, and Minato beside him explained softly.

"One of the conditions for the Kirigakure to agree to the peace treaty is the ninja swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. The Third Hokage and I have always believed in Kagetsu's ability. If Kirigakure has bad intentions, it can easily leave the Land of Water, right?"

With a gentle smile on his face, Minato, who kept praising Kagetsu's ability, spoke seriously. If it were an ordinary Uchiha, he would have lost himself in this exaggerated praise and would have wanted to swear allegiance to Konoha on the spot.

But is Kagetsu an ordinary Uchiha? Can he just say a few nice words to get away with it?

"Don't give me that crap. Where's Kakashi? Can't you just let him go? I'm busy lately and don't have time to go out on missions."

"Only you can complete this mission. Hatake Kakashi is carrying out another mission."

After saying this, Huayue narrowed her eyes and tried to ask

"What mission?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Namikaze Minato looked at each other, sighed, and said softly.

"Recently, no, there have been signs a few years ago that someone is conducting some kind of inhumane experiments, and many children have gone missing near the village. Kakashi is tracking down......"

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could finish, Huayue laughed in his heart, thinking of his annoying teacher who had not appeared for a long time.

"I understand. I will go to Kirigakure......."

The unexpected conditions made the Third Hokage frown and ponder. Namikaze Minato smiled gently. After getting the promises of the two, Huayue went home to pack her bags and rushed to Kirigakure.

"What do you think? I didn't expect him to make such a request. It really surprised me."

"What's wrong with that? With Kagetsu's experience on the battlefield, those young shoots that represent hope will grow stronger, Third Hokage."

Namikaze Minato smiled gently, which was so different from his serious and cold appearance on the battlefield that it was enough to make everyone smack their lips.

"I always feel that it's not that simple. Uchiha Kagetsu, even I can't see through it. If you want to ease the relationship between Uchiha and the village, your other apprentice, Uchiha Obito, is actually more suitable."

"The truth is often not what one would like to hear. Speaking of which, you and Kushina......"

Minato coughed, the Third Hokage smiled and turned away

"If you have your own child, you must inform us as soon as possible. The childbirth of a Jinchūriki has been no trivial matter since the establishment of the village. Do you understand?"

"It's a pity that it was during wartime. It's a pity that I didn't get to drink in your wedding wine, hahahaha......"

The old and frivolous Sarutobi Hiruzen left his desk, leaving Minato with an embarrassed face. At this moment, Sarutobi suddenly wanted to walk around the village and experience the hard-won peace in the village.

A few days later, the sea breeze was gentle, the sun was bright, and the lone boat drifted with the waves and sailed into the lingering thick fog.

At the border of the Water Country, looking at the Mist Ninja blocking in front of him, a light laugh sounded under the mask of the three-eyed demon fox, with an inexplicable meaning.
