Sure enough, when everyone left, Shimura Danzo glanced at the two consultants, raised his eyes and said to Namikaze Minato: "Yondaime, we held an emergency meeting yesterday when you were not present."
"A few things were decided at the meeting, and I need to explain them to you now."
"Let's talk somewhere else..."
After saying that, Danzo looked arrogant and walked towards the door of the conference hall first.
At this time, the two consultants obviously knew something. They also nodded to Namikaze Minato and followed behind.
In the main seat, Minato Namikaze frowned deeply, and finally stood up slowly.
He looked at these three people with a tacit understanding, and vaguely felt that they might have really caused something big while he was unconscious yesterday...
Especially Danzo, this hawkish and unscrupulous guy, if the third generation dies, he will probably become more and more unscrupulous in the future.
The king of pots must be eliminated, and the roots must be completely reorganized.
But let’s take a look now. The two consultants don’t seem like people who can unite with Danzo. They should just be stubborn. If these three people really join forces to hinder themselves, then they will have to move them all.
arrive……
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed faintly in Namikaze Minato's blue eyes.
After leaving the large conference room, several people came to a slightly smaller reception room. This is usually a small reception room used by the Hokage to receive important people.
Normally, only the daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Kages of other ninja villages would use it when visiting Konoha.
However, it is generally used as a council hall for small meetings between several high-level officials.
On an exquisite row of sofas, two consultants sat side by side. Opposite the coffee table was Minato Namikaze. After taking his seat, he couldn't help but glance at the single seat next to him, where the old god Danzo Shimura was, and suddenly his heart rose.
Got a weird feeling.
It took him a long time to realize that the place where Danzo was sitting in his memory seemed to originally belong to Sarutobi Hiruzen...
"The Yondaime, first of all, I need to explain to you that because of Hiruzen's sacrifice, the position of Hokage's assistant has become vacant, and we have decided to let Danzo take over..." Mito Kadoen was the first to speak.
Will it be a big deal when it comes up?
Namikaze Minato's heart suddenly jumped. He had thought that Danzo would be impatient, but he never thought that he would be impatient to this extent...
The position of Hokage's assistant is actually very important, but not important is actually dispensable.
The main job of this position is actually to help the Hokage take care of his official duties. Under normal circumstances, it usually deals with some trivial matters, and only when the Hokage is really busy will the tasks be shared.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi was in power, and in the early days of Namikaze Minato's accession to the throne, he helped share and guided most of the affairs for a long period of time. As the new Hokage gradually became familiar with and mastered the affairs of the village,
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was in the position of assistant to the Hokage, had to share the number of official duties he had to handle, which began to gradually decrease.
So far, Namikaze Minato, who has been in power for more than a year, basically no longer needs the assistance of the Hokage to share the affairs. However, at this time, Danzo suddenly convinced two advisers to take this position...
this……
After Minato Namikaze heard this, his eyes flickered for a moment, but he did not object.
He actually had no reason to object to this kind of thing.
Actually speaking, a high-level person with certain qualifications is required to be the Hokage Assistant. Danzo was the Hokage Assistant to the Third Hokage when Hiruzen Sarutobi was still the Hokage. For a short period of time after the Second Ninja War, Danzo became the Hokage Assistant.
He indeed cooperated well with the Third Hokage on government affairs, allowing Konoha to continue to emerge with talented elite ninjas in an endless stream, supporting the reputation of the No. 1 Ninja Village, even though the village's strength continued to decline after repeated wars.
And now, Danzo, who has once again assumed the position of assistant to the Hokage, obviously wants to interfere more in Konoha's government affairs.
Then give it a try, I want to see what tricks you want to play...
Namikaze Minato thought silently, waiting for the follow-up of Danzo and the advisory duo. In his heart, he had already prepared. The day when he and Danzo openly fell out would probably come soon...
Seeing that Namikaze Minato's expression didn't change at all, Mitomon didn't think much about it, and then continued: "Besides, we want to know, why did you decide to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki on your own?"
Obviously, the question of Mito Gate's inflammation was something that both Koharu and Danzo wanted to know. At this time, they also set their sights on Namikaze Minato, waiting for his answer.
Namikaze Minato was well prepared and explained calmly: "In the Nine-Tails Incident, the damage to Konoha's strength will not be long before other major powers know about it."
"Right now, both Kumogakure and Iwagakure have not officially signed an armistice agreement with us, and internal intelligence has been transmitted. There are faint signs that these two villages are preparing for war again."
"So in order to cope with the war that is about to break out again, the village is likely to need the power of tailed beast weapons immediately. If we find another jinchūriki, it may take an unknown amount of time..."
The two advisors fell into deep thought after hearing Namikaze Minato's answer.
In their view, this explanation actually makes sense.
However, there are still people who hold different opinions, such as Shimura Danzo...
"You are too conservative, Yondaime." Danzo couldn't help but flash a hint of contempt in his only exposed left eye, and then said in a confident tone: "It's just Iwagakure and Kumogakure, but they are just defeated generals.
"
"Using tailed beast weapons in war is a sign of lack of strength."
"In the past wars, there has never been a precedent for Konoha to use the power of tailed beasts."
Although Danzo's words were a standard hawkish statement, they were true.
Konoha has always attached great importance to the Jinchuriki and the Nine-Tails. And the two Nine-Tails Jinchuriki can also suppress the Nine-Tails in the body very well, so even if the half-tailed beast goes berserk, in the Uzumaki Mito and Uzumaki Kyu
This has never happened to Shinai.
On the contrary, both jinchūriki were actively researching how to extract the power of the tailed beasts for free control, but they were unsuccessful.
While the two advisors nodded in agreement, Namikaze Minato actually sneered at Danzo's words.
Because in the third war two years ago, during a crisis when Konoha was severely lacking in enemy hands, Danzo once proposed that Kushina be allowed to liberate the power of the Nine-Tails and transform into a tailed beast like other Jinchūriki of the great powers.
Fight, but later due to other reasons, this proposal was rejected by the third generation.
If you really get to that point, you will use any means, and if you are not forced to that point, you will be blindly arrogant. This is Danzo...
Therefore, he was deeply disdainful of the old man, Minato Namikaze, who was so bold in saying that Konoha did not need to use tailed beast weapons.
Not bothering to ridicule or expose, Namikaze Minato sneered in his heart, and at the same time gave an explanation that surprised the three of them: "The reason why I decided to become a jinchuriki is of course more than that."
"Perfect Jinchuuriki, free use of the power of the tailed beasts, that is my goal..."
