The Wood Industry High-level Council was convened twice in just three days... This was unprecedented even during the war, and the reason for these two meetings was all because of one person, Ashes!

Last time it was because of Ashes, this time it was brought about by Ashes. It can be said that he is really a troublesome guy. Even so, he has to pay attention and have to be serious...

After all, the information sent by Ashes is so important! It makes people nervous!

There was silence in the conference room, as the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato and his three staff quietly looked at the documents in their hands.

Mito Kadoyan snorted coldly, threw the information in his hand on the table, and said disdainfully, "What an arrogant person. They actually want to challenge the entire ninja world with just a few people. Who do they think they are?"

?Six Paths Immortal?"

Koharu, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Mito Kaden who was sitting next to him, snorted and said, "Isn't it true? Have you forgotten Jiraiya's disciple who came from nowhere and has the Samsara Eye?"

After saying this, Suzuan Xiaochun frowned slightly, knocked the information in his hand and said with a serious face, "And... the leader of this organization does not look like a fool, whether it is infiltration, intelligence collection or

The preparations before the battle are very complete, this is only what Orochimaru can see, who knows what else is hidden behind this, or...whether Orochimaru is hiding something from us."

Hearing Suzanne Koharu's words, Minato frowned deeply and said with a serious face, "Are you questioning Lord Orochimaru?"

"Shouldn't it be right? Let's not talk about whether Orochimaru is a traitor now, Minato... As the Hokage, you can't just trust others, even if you are one of your own!"

Namikaze Minato slightly flattened his mouth and turned his gaze to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had never spoken...

The retired Sandaime took a puff of his cigarette, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled and said, "Well... this is quite expected. I can probably guess that this is their purpose... from the deception three years ago.

From Sagakure's invasion of Konoha to the time when the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki was transferred more than ten years ago, it can be seen that the core of their actions is the tailed beasts, and all tailed beasts..."

"It is true, but...now that Lord Orochimaru can get this plan, it means that they have already started to take action. In this case, shouldn't we notify people from other major countries to take precautions as soon as possible?"

Looking at the impassioned Minato, the three mature staff members all chose silence. No one responded to Minato's words...

The scene became a little awkward for a moment. Minato scratched his head and looked at the three silent staff and asked awkwardly, "Why...shouldn't I say it? This kind of disaster is likely to sweep the entire ninja world.

Shouldn't we..."

After all, he was the Hokage who was promoted by himself, there was no way Sarutobi could just leave Minato there~

Interrupting Minato's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a serious face, "No, you are right, it should, very much should, but the problem now is time and method, when to say it, and in what method to say it, this is now

The most critical issue is…”

"I think the most critical issue now is our Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, Naruko... That child must be protected immediately, and must not be caught by people from this organization! If you want to take care of others, you must first take care of yourself!"

"You don't have to worry so much about Naruko. Naruko's own strength is already very good now. Plus she has Lord Ashes following her, so there will be no problem. The most critical thing now is the international situation."

"I think this is a good thing. We can suppress this information for the time being and wait until people from this organization make trouble before publishing it. In this way, we can use this organization to attack other countries. After all, now...

It’s not very peaceful over there in the Kingdom of Thunder…”

Looking at the three aides who started to talk away from him, Minato couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He was still not suitable to be Hokage. At this time, he should have shown his performance, but he couldn't think of these twists and turns.

Going around...

As if aware of Minato's embarrassment, Sarutobi suddenly chuckled, turned his head and said lightly to Minato, "Speaking of...have you heard any other news from Ashes-sama? After all, this is Ashes-sama getting information from Orochimaru."

Brought..."

Minato smiled bitterly, shook his head helplessly and said, "No, Master Ashes just gave me this information and didn't say anything else. He didn't seem to care much about this matter..."

Hearing this, Suzanne Koharu couldn't help but chuckle, shook his head and said, "This is not like the behavior of Ashes-sama~ You must know that when Kushina was captured by people from the Kingdom of Thunder, Lord Ashes

But he was so excited that he ran to the Land of Thunder to kill the Eight-Tails and cut off two fingers of the Third Raikage. Why does he act so indifferent now? Isn't he afraid that Naruko will also be taken away?"

After Minato was silent for a moment, he looked at the three staff present with a serious face and said, "Perhaps it's because Ashes-sama no longer regards this kind of thing as a threat. Naruko told me before that Ashes-sama became...

Even more powerful, this seems to be...Kyuubi told her."

Mito Kadoyan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, but also a little lucky and whispered, "Can such a monster become more powerful? This is really...fortunately, we have Ashes-sama tied to Konoha."

Minato suddenly frowned, took a deep breath and continued, "This is what I'm really worried about, because Naruko also told me... Lord Ashes seems to be in a state of unrecovered injury. Who is injured by Ashes?"

The lady whom the adults call teacher even forbids Ashes-sama from engaging in unnecessary battles... Who can hurt Ashes-sama, who has become more powerful? I can't imagine..."

The conference room fell into silence once again. After a moment, Sarutobi blew out a puff of smoke, shook his head gently and said, "This is not something we should be concerned about now. It is not our turn to care about Lord Ashes' matters.

Let’s talk about things we should consider…”

Saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen once again picked up the information on the table, knocked it lightly and said, "I think this information can be divided into two parts... one part is the information about the members of the Akatsuki organization, and the other part is

It is their action strategy. Member information can be handed over to other countries through diplomatic means, but we must hold this action strategy in our hands and never give it to others easily!"

Even Minato understood Sarutobi's intention, and he handled it properly. In this way, they could be considered as contributing to the entire ninja world, and they would not attract the attention of other major countries to themselves.

Come on...

"Seconded"

"Seconded"

"Then... let's do what you said, Sarutobi-sama, but there is one question. Will this harm Lord Orochimaru, or expose Orochimaru as our undercover agent?"

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but chuckle, opened the page where Orochimaru was recorded in the information, and said calmly to Minato, "Of course Orochimaru will be fine, there is his information on it.

And it’s information from many years ago... He won’t put himself in danger! He also considered this before passing this information to us through the Hand of Ashes.”

Minato nodded slightly in understanding, and Minato nodded gently to the three staff, and then said with a smile, "Then... three adults, I will prepare and send this information to other ninja countries as soon as possible.

.”

Seeing Minato leaving with the Flying Thunder God Technique in a hurry, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed helplessly, took a long drag on his cigarette and said helplessly to the other two elder staff, "You're still a little immature."

Suzuki Koharu chuckled and then said lightly, "When you made Minato become Hokage, wasn't it because you took a fancy to his enterprising spirit? This is a good thing. What you want is a person like the First Daime who can make the Fire Country go further.

Hokage, not like Nidaime-sama, a Hokage like you, isn't it?"

Mito Katoyan on the side also nodded in agreement, "It turns out that this kid Minato did not disappoint. The current Konoha Village is completely different from the Konoha Village when you were in power!"

Hearing the flattery of the two elders, Sarutobi winced and nodded lightly, "Indeed... Minato did not disappoint. In that case... let us old bones help Minato for a while longer!"

…

"Naruko, is it really okay for me to come too? Isn't it you and Sasuke-kun that Ashes-sama wants to teach? I really want to come too..."

Looking at her nervous best friend Sakura, Naruko waved her hands carelessly and said, "What are you talking about? We are in the same team! How could Sasuke and I forget you! As for Grandpa Ashes...I have the final say!"

"

Looking at Naruko who was speaking plausibly, as if Ashes had to do whatever she said, Sakura sighed helplessly, and then said to Naruko with envy, "That's great, Naruko, daddy is

Hokage, with such a powerful grandpa, will he also become Hokage in the future?"

Naruko crossed her arms across her chest, frowned hesitantly and said, "Well...it's really hard to say, maybe it will happen, maybe it won't, and it's nothing to envy. Dad is Hokage, which means he will be very busy. I don't think so."

It was the second day after I came back, and I just met him once..."

Sasuke on the side also chuckled, nodded and said, "Hokage-sama is very hardworking. If it weren't for the efforts of the Fourth Generation, Konoha Village would not be what it is now..."

While they were talking, the three young people who hadn’t seen each other for three years arrived at the previously scheduled training ground~

Looking at the empty training ground, Naruko pouted again and said angrily, "Really, I obviously asked Kakashi-sensei to come with me, but it turned out that Kakashi-sensei was late even if he was late, why didn't even Grandpa Ashes come with me?"
Chapter completed!
