Namikaze Minato was poisoned and was on the verge of death, but fortunately Tsunade was in the village and was able to pull him back from hell.
Kushina was waiting outside the door of the operating room, feeling uneasy.
Hashirama also came. He sat on a bench nearby and quietly looked at Kushina who was pacing back and forth.
"You are the second jinchūriki of the village, right?"
"……yes."
"So, have you met Mito?"
"Mito...Mito-sama?" Kushina was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered the relationship between the person in front of her and Uzumaki Mito.
"Yes, it was Mito-sama who brought me to Konoha...it was also Mito-sama who decided to make me the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki."
Hashirama nodded when he heard this. The Uzumaki clan had a special physique and was indeed an excellent candidate for jinchūriki.
He said: "Becoming a Jinchuuriki is a very hard thing, especially for women, and it has been hard on you for so long."
"...No, Mito-sama taught me a lot, and I am very grateful to her for bringing me to Konoha." Kushina said, looking towards the operating room again.
Hashirama pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you tell me about Minato?"
Kushina was silent for a moment and said, "Aren't you afraid that everything I say about my relationship with Minato is false?"
But Hashirama smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I just think you are talking about Minato in your eyes."
Kushina walked to the bench opposite him and sat down. After thinking for a long time, she said: "Minato, he has dreamed of becoming Hokage since he was a child..."
And at the same time.
Tobirama arrived at Sarutobi Hiruzen's home alone.
It was Biwako who opened the door. When she saw Tobirama, she thought she was dazzled.
After hearing the news of Sarutobi's death, Lake Biwa didn't look too sad.
"For him, death would be a relief."
In the living room, Biwako sat opposite Tobirama and said with lowered eyes.
"In the past few days, he has had sleepless nights. People come to him every day to discuss some matters. I can feel his pain."
"Since he died for the village, it was also his long-cherished wish."
Tobirama asked her about the current Sannin of Konoha.
Lake Biwa said: "Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru are the ones we watched grow up, especially Orochimaru. Hiruzen put the most effort into him. Orochimaru has shown extremely high ninja talent since he was a child.
Hiruzen has always been training him as Hokage."
"This child's parents died young, and he is withdrawn and introverted. Although Hiruzen paid special attention to him, he was never able to get into his heart. Gradually, Hiruzen began to feel that Orochimaru was not suitable to be Hokage, until Jiraiya
student, the appearance of Namikaze Minato..."
Tobirama sat there and listened quietly, gaining a better understanding of the relationship between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru.
Because it couldn't be changed, I chose to replace it.
It may be a good thing for the village, but for Orochimaru, it means abandonment. Since then, there has been this extreme and extreme fourth generation Hokage.
At this time, it is meaningless to judge right and wrong, both of them are already dead.
Tobirama sat at Sarutobi's house for a long time, and also met Hiruzen's youngest son Asuma. After learning the news of his father's death, the child couldn't accept it and burst into tears with grief.
This is how a young man should behave. Thinking of the expressionless face of Hinata Makoto, who is the same age as Asuma, he can't help but frown.
Mito Menyan, Koharu and Akimichi Kaifeng came to sleep.
"Teacher Tobirama...it's really you!"
The three old men were all excited after seeing Tobirama.
Tobirama felt emotional in his heart. His former students were now older than him. Only then did he clearly realize what his elder brother said. Their experience might be richer than his own, and he should also put these things into practice.
Treat people as independent individuals.
Several people gathered together and talked for a long time. At first they were talking about some past events, but later Tobirama asked them to talk about the situation in Konoha all these years after his death.
They talked about the First Ninja War from Hiruzen Sarutobi to the Third Ninja War, telling some major events that happened in Konoha and some famous ninjas that appeared, such as the Sannin, White Fang, and Golden
flash……
When Tobirama asked them about Hinata Makoto, the three of them fell silent.
It's not that they don't want to say it, it's that they know too little.
The only thing that is clear is that the young patriarch of Hinata has a strong ability to handle government affairs. He took care of all the village's post-war matters, big and small, by himself, and he took care of them very well.
In terms of personal strength, he showed it once in the war with the Kumo ninja. Tobirama was surprised that Hinata could actually fly and seemed to be able to perform a more special illusion.
What Tobirama really cares about is that this Hinata is really a powerful figure!
There used to be two largest ninja armed forces in the village, one was the ANBU directly under the Hokage, and now it is completely in the hands of Hinata.
As for the other Konoha Guards, their authority was severely reduced by the Hokage not long ago. Now there are only a dozen or so people left doing some errands for the villagers, but it has improved a lot of Uchiha in the village.
image inside.
Moreover, many members of the Hyuga family hold important positions in the village and control all power in the village.
Now that Orochimaru is dead and Namikaze Minato has become a sinner, there is no other candidate for Konoha's next Hokage besides him.
Tobirama wanted to support the selection of another Hokage, which made the three scheming old men present look embarrassed.
It can be said that unless Hinata is really dead now, or the two brothers can be fully resurrected and regain power.
Otherwise there would be no other chance at all.
As for the Tsunade Tobirama was thinking about, she did have quite a reputation in the village, but it was just a reputation.
Hinata Shinya was once the hero who helped the village defeat the Kumo ninja, which was witnessed by countless ninjas at that time.
But seeing Hinata really rise to the top like this, Tobirama felt really unwilling to do so.
At first, at the beginning of the trial meeting, this Hinata was still very subtle. After the situation was finalized, this guy took off his disguise directly in front of them, unabashedly showing the attitude of a politician.
If he continues to maintain a humble and respectful attitude, Tobirama may still think that this person is a good junior.
But if we want to compete with this Hinata, there must be a suitable Hokage candidate. If Tsunade doesn't want to, who else can she choose?
Jiraiya?
He is also a student of the Sandaime, but this Namikaze Minato incident will inevitably affect him.
The night gradually deepened, and after rejecting Biwako's invitation to stay, Tobirama came out of Sarutobi's house and found that he had nowhere to go.
Senju no longer exists in this village, and the ancestral home has long since become someone else's home.
Tobirama wandered around, and finally came to the only remaining Sandaime Hokage rock. Looking at the brightly lit village below, it seemed that there was no place for him.
