In the Hokage's office, the high-spirited Namikaze Minato was sitting in his chair, rigorously processing a large pile of documents in front of him. He is now a mature and business-savvy Hokage, and the entire Konoha

Minato, a government official, is now able to complete it on her own with ease.

This is the reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen chose to retire. After all, he is getting older and the new Hokage has matured day by day. It is enough for him to act as a staff member and assist Minato~

After tapping a seal on the document in his hand, Minato suddenly raised his head, looked ahead and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

As soon as Minato finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Uchiha Itachi who came to report the news...

Minato was aware of Itachi's existence before he appeared. It can be seen that sitting in the office as Hokage over the past few years has not diminished his superb skills~

Looking at the smiling Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Itachi pondered for a moment and then said lightly, "Hokage-sama, Miss Naruko and Sasuke are back..."

Hearing Uchiha Itachi's words, Namikaze Minato's expression suddenly changed, and the hand holding Akiko began to tremble slightly, as if his daughter was some kind of savage beast...

After a moment of silence, Namikaze Minato stumbled towards Itachi standing in front of him and asked, as if he was harboring some kind of luck, "Then... is that person back?"

Uchiha Itachi's masked face nodded slightly, confirming Namikaze Minato's question.

After receiving the affirmative answer, Namikaze Minato took a deep breath, stood up from the chair, and paced around quickly, with a look of panic on his originally gentle face...

"What should I do... what should I do... I'm back, what should I do now? How should we explain to Lord Ashes... It's over, it's over, Konoha Village won't be demolished by him..."

Looking at the irritable and anxious Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment and then asked softly, "Hokage-sama, do you want to call the elders over..."

Hearing Itachi's words, Minato couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and then he hurriedly turned to Itachi and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Hurry...go and call the elders, my wife and Lord Kagami as well! The situation now is extremely urgent!"

"

"Take the order!" Itachi nodded slightly, and then disappeared from the place with a teleportation technique...

Not long after, in a quiet conference room, Minato Namikaze sat at the head with an anxious look on his face, and the elders including Sarutobi Hiruzen also sat on the left and right...

The door to the conference room was pushed open, and Kushina and Uchiha Kage walked in together. Looking at the four Konoha executives sitting in the conference room, Kushina frowned slightly and asked, "What the hell?"

What happened has made you so anxious that even Master Jing has to call you..."

Looking at the frizzy Kushina who came in through the door, Minato sighed softly, smiled bitterly and said, "Kushina, your precious daughter is back."

Hearing Minato's words, Kushina couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked in surprise, "Really? Naruko is back? Where is she now?"

But when Kushina saw the tensed faces of the elders and Minato, a bad premonition arose spontaneously, and she asked with a worried look, "What on earth... happened? Could it be that something happened to Naruko?"

!”

Minato smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said calmly to the concerned Kushina, "No... Naruko is very good, very good, but the problem now is... Ashes-sama is also back with her."

Hearing this, Kushina couldn't help being stunned, and then she seemed to remember something. She looked at Namikaze Minato who was sitting in the conference room with a melancholy look on her face, and the elders on both sides frowned and said, "Ah

...So you are worried about this! Why, aren’t you going to tell Uncle Ashes about this?”

"Things are not as simple as you think. If Lord Ashes finds out, he will definitely be angry. Kushina, you also know what will happen if Lord Ashes is angry, right?"

Uchiha Kage, who was following Kushina, snorted softly, found a seat and sat down casually, put the long knife that he never left behind on the table, and looked at Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen who were not far away.

Said "So... what do you want us to do? Help you stabilize Teacher Ashes? Monkey, do you think I will go against the teacher? Or... do you want to go against the teacher?"

Looking at Uchiha Kagami who was sitting not far away, and who was even more powerful than Minato, the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly, smiled wryly at Uchiha Kagami, shook his head and said, "Everyone sitting here knows that and

That person will suffer the consequences of opposing him, so no one will want to oppose him. What we want now is just to make him calm down and not take his anger out on the Konoha Ninja Village..."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a serious look on his face, Minato nodded slightly and said, "Kage-sama, you should also know what will happen if Ashes-sama loses his temper. You have been with Ashes-sama for the longest time. I

I want to ask you...if there is any way..."

Uchiha Kagami looked at Minato with a serious face, lightly shrugged and said, "Yes~ Of course there is a way. Isn't it just a matter of finding a way to get the person back?"

Looking at Uchiha Kagami who even started to make sarcastic remarks, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a sip from the pipe in his hand, exhaled and said slowly, "For three years, I have never stopped looking, but... that lady is like a human being.

It's like evaporating, no matter how we look for it, there is no trace..."

One of the elders, Mito Kadoyan, suddenly frowned, turned his head and looked at the other people in the conference room and asked slowly, "Are you sure...if that person finds out that his woman is missing, he will be furious?"

Hearing Mito Kadoyan's words, the people present who were familiar with Ashes nodded in unison...

Kushina gave a bitter laugh, shook her head helplessly and said, "Mito-sama, you don't understand Uncle Ashes. Uncle Ashes' protection of the fire-proof female sister... is beyond what others can imagine. I simply can't imagine, if Uncle Ashes knows

What will he do after losing his fireproof sister?"

For a moment, the people in the conference room fell into silence.

No one knows what to do now, no one knows how to give an explanation to Ashes now.

After all, the fire prevention girl's ashes were left in Konoha, but she disappeared without a trace three years ago. To put it simply, they lost her and could not find her back.

After being silent for a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly took a deep breath, stood up, looked at the other people in the room and said seriously, "If it doesn't work... I can only bear his anger! After all... I was

It's still Hokage, if he wants to express his anger, just let him come to me!"

Minato couldn't help being shocked when he heard what Sarutobi Hiruzen said. He hurriedly stood up and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "No, no, no! Absolutely not, Hiruzen-sama, there is still room for this matter, Ashes-sama... Ashes-sama...

Not an unreasonable person."

Kushina also nodded slightly and said, "Compared with this, Uncle Ashes will hate you guys for delaying here instead of telling him the matter as soon as possible... If it were me, I should tell the matter as soon as possible."

Tell Uncle Ashes."

"That's right. I still know a little bit about Master Ashes. If you don't want to be angered, it's better to tell him about the disappearance of the fireproof lady as soon as possible!"

After the elders and Minato looked at each other for a few times, Minato nodded slightly. It was indeed the case. Three whole years had passed. They had been looking for the fireproof girl who suddenly disappeared, but they couldn't find it. It really wasn't them.

If you don’t work hard, you will be powerless…

So all they can do now is to tell Ashes what happened as soon as possible and pray that he won't be angry with them.

Elder Su Zhuan Xiaochun sighed softly, shook his head and said slowly, "Sigh... This is also the last option. This is the only way. Let's ask someone to bring the ashes..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head gently, stood up with a serious face and said, "No, it would be better for us to take the initiative to come to the door."

Saying this, Sarutobi looked at the people in the room, and after a moment of silence, he said calmly to Uchiha Kagami and Kushina, "Kushina, Kagami, you two go with me, the rest...

Just don’t go.”

Looking at Minato who still wanted to say something, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and looked at Minato's serious "This matter is settled, Minato, don't go anywhere!"

Looking at the determined Sarutobi Hiruzen, Minato could probably guess what he was going to do... Uchiha Kagami was Ashes' disciple, and Kushina was raised by Ashes. Even if Ashes was really angry, he wouldn't do anything to her.

How are they?

And he, the former Hokage, can take on this matter alone...

The other two elders also understood what Sarutobi meant, and that's all they can do now. The rest can only be left to fate!

Looking at the decisive Sarutobi, Uchiha Kage was silent for a moment, then picked up the long knife at hand and stood up. He nodded lightly at Sarutobi and said, "Monkey, I will... try my best to appease the teacher's emotions.

Yes, let’s go.”

Looking at Uchiha Kagami who pushed out the door, and Sarutobi Hiruzen following closely behind, Kushina looked at Minato at a loss.

After sighing softly, Minato nodded gently towards Kushina and said, "I leave everything to you. You must find a way to appease Master Ashes and don't let him... harm Master Sarutobi."

Kushina took a deep breath and nodded lightly at Minato, "I will do my best!" After saying that, Kushina turned and left, chasing Uchiha Mirror and Sarutobi Hiruzen...

Looking at the three people leaving, Minato let out a long sigh and said in a low voice with a distressed look on his face, "Why did it happen like this...Who on earth abducted the fireproof lady from our protection."

Under the extreme worry of Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Kagami, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Kushina, under the guidance of ANBU, came to the place where Ashes was at this moment...

Looking at the door in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was standing at the front, swallowed softly and cautiously stretched out his hand to ring the doorbell...

But before Sarutobi Hiruzen rang the doorbell, the door in front of them was opened from the inside, and a strange woman appeared in front of them. She looked at the three people in front of them and said with a smile, "Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha
