Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swordsmen Begins from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Chapter 130: Tricking Minato Namikaze
With the activation of the Seven Days Breathing Method, Tamura Hao swung his sword wildly, greatly improving both his strength and speed, especially his explosive power. He cut through the flaming fists that were bombarded in front of him one by one, and fought against Might Dai.

But he didn't plan to fight any further, not only because the two men in the tower came out, but also because Mighty's chakra was attacking the Gate of Shock.

Mighty Dai can still hold on if six doors are opened, but if the seventh door is opened, he will definitely kneel.

Moreover, the oxygen stored in the red blood cells is almost exhausted, and the supply provided by breathing alone is far from enough to keep up with the consumption.

This is a flaw in the Seven Day Breathing Method.

"Guang, stop, I can't go on."

Without any hesitation, Tamura Hao jumped back and signaled Uchiha Guang to stop.

Uchiha Guang paused, looked up and found that two figures had appeared on the tower at some point.

"Sister, Brother Jiraiya!"

When Rope Tree, who survived the disaster, saw the two people, he was overjoyed. They were his sister and his elder brother Jiraiya.

"Young girl, it's not good to be so murderous."

Jiraiya stepped forward and looked at his disciple first. After making sure that there was no serious problem, he looked at Uchiha Hikaru, very surprised and confused.

How come this person has the Sharingan?

Isn't it said that the transplanted Sharingan cannot be closed?

"Little ghost, is this the secret technique you created?"

Tsunade formed four shadow clones by hand seals to treat the wounded, and then she came in front of someone with a very unfriendly look.

My younger brother was almost chopped to pieces just now.

There were also many casualties among the candidates from the village. Now there are only six people left who have walked here, and all of them are injured.

You should know that there are thirty-two candidates from the village entering the Death Forest.

Of course, the candidates from the other four major ninja villages also suffered heavy losses. This Chunin exam was too tragic.

"It's still far worse than the Eight Gates. Judging from Uncle Dai's appearance just now, he should be able to open one more. It's shameless for the Hokage to let someone like Uncle Dai participate in the Chunin Exam."

Tamura Hao complained without fear and directly said that Sarutobi Hiruzen was shameless.

"You and that little girl are not weak either."

Jiraiya retorted. Although he also felt that it was not good for the teacher to let Might Guy in, he was on Konoha's side after all, and the Third Hokage was his teacher.

"I'm twelve years old. Hikaru is fourteen this year, which meets the standards for the Chunin Exams. Uncle Dai looks like he's at least forty."

Tamura Hao also refuted, wanting to pin the label of shameless on Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This way you can explain to Lord Danzo that it’s not that I’m not good enough, but that your good friend broke the rules. If you want to blame someone, blame your good friend.

"I'm only twenty-five."

Might Guy, who was being treated by Tsunade's shadow clone, corrected him helplessly. He was really only 25 years old this year, but he looked a little older.

Tsunade and Jiraiya both looked over, both speechless.

You look so anxious!

"This is troublesome. Only Dai's team is still safe."

Looking at the six people left on their side, Jiraiya felt a bit of a headache.

One of Minato's teammates is gone, and two of Nawaki's teammates are gone. According to the exam rules, they will be eliminated.

Now only Mighty's team is left, and the results are a bit poor.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Jiraiya turned his head in confusion and found that the little devil appeared in front of Shengshu. He punched him and beat him into a pig's head in a short while.

"I hate it most when people scold me!"

Tamura Hao, who finally put away his fist, had a grim look on his face. He, Tamura Ritian, would not tolerate any sand in his ears. Don't think that you can get away with it by calling me a despicable bastard just now.

"Little devil, you want a beating?"

Tsunade, who saw this scene, had a frown on her forehead. He's my brother. What do you mean by beating him in front of me?
"He was too reckless. Two of his teammates were injured because they were protecting him, which led to him not being able to retreat in time when facing Guang's Fire Style and being killed.

If this kind of reckless and brainless person really goes to the battlefield, he will definitely die. Let him learn a lesson now so that he can live a few more days in the future, so that Grandma Mito won’t have to send her son away with her old age.”

Tamura Hao said naturally that beating your brother was for your brother's own good, and even brought up Uzumaki Mito. Tsunade's eyebrows twitched when she heard this, but she couldn't refute it.

My brother was a bit reckless in the previous battle, which is indeed not good.

"My brother doesn't need your discipline!"

With an unhappy glare, Tsunade turned and walked towards the tower.

"You must be the Fourth Hokage secretly trained by the Third Hokage, right? Let's formally introduce ourselves. My name is Tamura Hao, and we are the same age."

Tamura Hao walked up to Namikaze Minato and gently extended his hand to indicate that he wanted to shake hands. They were all good friends.

These words made everyone present look over instantly, their eyes fell on Namikaze Minato with subtle expressions.

"Hey, hey, hey... don't talk nonsense, it can kill people."

Jiraiya's expression changed and he warned in dissatisfaction.

Tamura Hao seriously deceived: "Master Dodai's analysis must be correct. You Konoha has only captured one Uzumaki clan member, Uzumaki Kyupin, and Namikaze Minato seems to be pursuing her.

This is obviously an attempt to create a husband-and-wife combination like the first Hokage and Mito-senpai, which is paving the way for Minato.

Moreover, Minato has no family ties behind him, so he is suitable for being controlled by the Third Hokage and others as a puppet to continue to maintain their..."

Before he could finish his words, he was covered by Jiraiya. Jiraiya really didn't dare to let the kid continue talking, as it would bring trouble to Minato.

Minato Namikaze's face turned dark and he glared at someone unkindly.

The relationship between me and Jiupin is pure, without any messy stuff mixed in.

"Little boy, I'll treat you to a feast in the village!"

Without further ado, Jiraiya picked up the young man and took him away.

Minato Namikaze looked at his bandaged arm and jumped up to follow.

The others looked at each other, and left with different thoughts in mind to deal with their injuries, waiting for the next preliminaries.

On the other side, Tamura Hao was brought by Jiraiya to the so-called banquet venue. He looked up at the big words "Ichiraku Ramen" and a frown appeared on his forehead.

"Is this what you call a feast?"

Tamura Hao really didn't want to eat Ichiraku Ramen. It was okay to eat it once, but if he ate it again, it wouldn't be that fresh.

"Don't be fooled by the small size of this shop, the handmade craftsmanship is first-class and the prices are reasonable. Everyone who has eaten here says it's good."

Jiraiya put his arm around the boy's shoulders and dragged him inside, praising the deliciousness of Ichiraku Ramen.

"I know that. Tsunade brought us here for a meal last time. You two really are teammates. You cook in exactly the same way."

Tian Cunhao, who was dragged to sit down, couldn't help but complain, and then said to his hand: "Boss, it's the same as last time."

He immediately took out a towel and wiped his face vigorously. He had just been covered by that guy's face. God knows if that guy has the habit of masturbating.

"Okay, Master Jiraiya and Minato-chan, are we going to follow the old rules as well?"

The hand that was busy kneading the dough asked, "Those who came are all acquaintances." Minato Namikaze, who was sitting down, responded.

"Hand-to-hand, big brother, just like before."

"Tsunade has also brought you here to eat?"

Jiraiya was stunned, he really didn't know this.

"Tsunade is addicted to gambling. She is so broke that she can only come here to eat the affordable Ichiraku Ramen. You are not as poor as her, right?"

Tamura Hao was puzzled. This person should not be short of money. Even if he bought those masterpieces, it would not cost much.

"Tsunade borrowed all my money!"

With a bitter face, Jiraiya looked as if he couldn't bear to think back on the past.

In front of Tsunade, you can't even protect your money.

"Lick the dog!"

I gave him a look of disdain without any concealment. He deserved to be single until he died.

"Kid, you've gone too far!"

The sound of a bootlicker made Jiraiya's hair stand on end. This kid was really too much.

Did the dog eat your rice?
"Incompetent rage!"

The look of contempt remained, and he then looked at Minato Namikaze on the other side.

"Minato, let me tell you, if you want to become the Fourth Hokage, you have to curry favor with the Third Hokage. He needs a genius like you who has no ties to anything to be his puppet to maintain the interests of their faction.

Look at how fiercely their faction has fought with the Senju faction over the years. They wanted to kill each other, and they must be worried about repeating the same mistakes and being targeted by the future Hokage.

Even if he doesn't consider himself, he has to consider his family members after he leaves behind, so he will definitely select his successor strictly.

You are very lucky to be chosen by him when you were in school, but you can't be careless. You were just chosen, and you haven't become the Fourth Hokage yet.

Look at Orochimaru, who was known as the most proud disciple of the Third Hokage, but in fact the Third Hokage had already given up on him.

Because his personality is too strong and difficult to control, there is a high probability that he will have conflicts with the Third Hokage's group after becoming the Fourth Hokage in the future.

Orochimaru also understood the Third Generation's intentions and realized that there was no future in following the Third Generation, so he is now following Shimura Danzo..."

Namikaze Minato wanted to run away after hearing this, but unfortunately someone grabbed his shoulders and even used lightning chakra to shock and paralyze him, so he couldn't run away at all. The hand that was kneading the dough also looked up frequently, asking, "Is it really okay for you to make up stories about Hokage?"

On the other side, a young man who was eating noodles put down his money and ran away with a look of horror on his face. This kind of topic is unbearable to listen to.

"Little boy, stop talking nonsense all the time!"

Jiraiya held his forehead with his hand, this kid was so annoying.

"You can't teach this. If you really let Minato grow up foolishly like this, he will probably miss the chance to become Hokage.

Being a Hokage is not just about having a passion for the cause, you need to understand the ways of the world, be resourceful, and be ruthless. You can't teach me these."

Tian Cun Hao cast a contemptuous look at him again and asked, "As an outsider, are you qualified to speak?"

"Young people should be more positive and stop thinking of others as bad."

At this moment, a deep voice sounded behind him. Tamura Hao turned his head and saw that it was Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"teacher!"

Jiraiya reluctantly stood up, regretting bringing the boy to the feast.

"Lord Hokage!"

Tamura Hao also stood up and saluted. After all, he was the village chief of Konoha, so he had to give him some face.

Without the lightning-attribute paralysis, Minato Namikaze also hurriedly stood up and saluted, feeling even more nervous.

"Everyone, take a seat. I'm here to eat noodles, too. Hand-made noodles. Give me a large bowl of miso noodles."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down on the other side of Namikaze Minato with a kind look on his face and greeted him familiarly.

There was no other way. In order to save pocket money to support the great works of those teachers, he could only come to this kind of economical small noodle shop to eat. After going there many times, he became familiar with the owner.

Tamura Hao actually sat down, and pulled Namakaze Minato to sit down with him, and continued to fool people with their arms around each other's shoulders.

"So if you want to become the Fourth Hokage, you have to understand the Third Hokage, and this starts with your Second Hokage.

When the First Hokage passed the position of Hokage to the Second Hokage, the major ninja clans in Konoha were dissatisfied. The inheritance of the position of Hokage was originally set through an election system, and the First Hokage used this to defeat Uchiha Madara and become the First Hokage.

However, the first Hokage designated to pass the position of Hokage to his younger brother, which was equivalent to privatizing the position of Hokage, which was tantamount to cutting off the hope of other ninja clans to become Hokage.

This was a big taboo for Konoha, which had many ninja clans. The Uchiha were the most dissatisfied with this, but the prestige of the First Hokage was too high, the strength of the Senju family was too strong, and the wife of the First Hokage was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so they managed to stabilize the situation.

Fortunately, the Second Hokage was smart enough to calm the storm by recruiting disciples and winning over the Third Hokage's small group in advance.

However, he also understood that this was the limit. The third generation Hokage must not be a member of the Senju family, otherwise those ninja clans would certainly not agree, and the Senju family would most likely become the target of public criticism, and even launch a coup like the Kinkaku and Ginkaku factions in our Hidden Cloud Village back then.

It was for this reason that the position of Hokage was passed to the Third Hokage instead of the Senju clan members.

It's just that those people in the Senju family are short-sighted and blinded by power. They think that the position of Hokage is their private property. Over the years, they have been fighting openly and secretly with the Third Hokage group.

This formed a vicious cycle. For their own power and interests, as well as the stability of the village, the Third Hokage and his men had to fight openly and secretly with the Senju faction, and the Uchiha faction was also restless.

It can be said that the internal situation of your Konoha Village is the most complicated among the five major ninja villages, much more complicated than the Hidden Mist Village.

The road to power is one of advancement and no retreat. If you want to continue to maintain the stability of Konoha, you can only support the faction of the Third Hokage, develop and expand it, form an alliance and annex various ninja clans. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who defy me will perish.

In the end, there will only be one voice left in Konoha. This is the only way to achieve long-term harmony and stability. This is also the only path to harmony in Konoha..."

Minato Namikaze broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and at the same time he wished he could slap himself in the face.

Why are you following me here, you idiot?

Jiraiya also had a headache because this kid was too talkative.

On the other hand, Sarutobi Hiruzen was smoking happily next to him. Although that boy spoke bluntly, he hit the nail on the head. The fundamental situation of Konoha was indeed like this. It was really not easy for him to live these years. It was no exaggeration to say that he was trapped inside and outside.

"Then there is the ninth rank that you pursued. I have to say that you have done very well in this regard. The ninth rank is destined to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, which is the most powerful force in the ninja world today.

With the support of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, your path to becoming Hokage is at least halfway to success."

After fooling around with the history of power struggles in Konoha, Tamura Hao turned the topic to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, which made Namikaze Minato very disgusted.

"I don't have that much thought about Jiupin, I just like him purely."

Namikaze Minato emphasized that he truly liked Kyuubi and that she was the most special girl in the class.

“This is not a conflict, it’s rare for career and love to overlap.

And only if you become the Fourth Hokage will you be qualified to talk about love with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, or even get married and have children.

The Tailed Beast Jinchuriki is the most important force in the ninja village and must have a deep bond with the Kage, either as a brother or sister or as a husband and wife.

Only when the Jinchuriki who controls power and the Kage who controls wisdom unite can the ninja village achieve stable development. Otherwise, if the two conflict, it will be a disaster for the ninja village.

For example, the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has very little bond with the Third Hokage, and his seniority is too high. It is estimated that the Third Hokage would have to kneel down and listen to his lecture.

This is obviously irrational, the Third Hokage certainly can't command that person..."

"Mito-sama is the wife of the first teacher, and it is only right for me to go over and listen to his teachings."

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but say something, expressing that he was respecting his elders.

“Look, look, how sincere Hokage was when he said this, even I can’t tell that he was lying, this is the strength of the Hokage.

Even though he felt a bit hurt in his heart about this matter, and wished that person would die quickly and be replaced by an obedient Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he would not show these emotions. This is the scheming required of a Hokage..."

Tamura Hao revealed the secret without hesitation, and even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was determined, couldn't help but twitch his face. Jiraiya even held his forehead with his hand, and Namikaze Minato's face became even paler, a pale white.

"My Lord, your face!"

At this time, he brought up a few bowls of noodles on a tray with trembling hands, and his expression looked as if he wanted to cry but couldn't.

It's really inappropriate for you to talk about such heavy topics in my little shop.

"My mouth is a little dry from talking so much."

Tian Cun Hao smacked his lips, picked up the bowl, drank a sip of the noodle soup, and then started eating with a slurp.

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe and ate noodles. Jiraiya glared at a troublemaker kid and then followed suit.

Although Minato Namikaze had no appetite, he had no choice but to eat along with them.

After eating the noodles, Tiancun Hao continued his deception.

"As the saying goes, only when you keep your feet on the ground can you better look up at the stars. The dream of becoming a Hokage is great, but you must have enough ability.

This ability is not only strength, but also wisdom.

You can learn strength from Jiraiya, but you can’t learn wisdom from him, he doesn’t have that kind of wisdom, you can only learn from Hokage-sama…”

"Little boy, who are you calling unintelligent? And you have to address me as sir, that's the minimum respect."

Jiraiya was so unhappy that he really wanted to pull out the kid's tongue and cut it off.

"Is a lesbian who peeks into the women's bathhouse every day worthy of my respect?"

Once again, he gave him an undisguised look of contempt. Tamura Hao really had no respect for this guy.

"Don't talk nonsense, who is the lsp?"

Jiraiya was so angry that his face turned red. This kid had such a vicious mouth.

"I know you're not old, you just look a little anxious."

Tamura Hao added a sentence, and Jiraiya felt like he had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his chest and couldn't help but spit it out.

"These were all taught by your Raikage assistant Tudai?"

After finishing his noodles, Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe and took a puff before asking. In his heart, he paid more attention to the assistant Raikage and even felt wary of him.

"Lord Dodai has in-depth research on the intelligence of each ninja village, and has done the most research on Konoha."

Tamura Hao responded honestly, saying that it was all the wisdom of Lord Tsuchidai.

"You told Minato all this in order to change him?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked again, guessing the boy's intention in explaining those things, which at the moment was definitely on Minato.

"Lord Dodai wants to see if Minato can shoulder the dark side of Konoha, and it is more in the interest of the future of our Kumogakure Village for someone like Minato to become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha."

Tamura Hao was passing the buck again, but the real purpose of fooling so many people was indeed to change Minato, to change him ideologically.

Just now, a steady stream of the power of destiny was flowing into his account, which shows how great an impact those words had on Minato Namikaze.

In the future there will definitely be a Minato Namikaze that is different from the original plot, so look forward to it!

In addition, Minato Namikaze will inevitably be hostile to some people in Konoha in the future. It would be perfect if he was killed by someone inside Konoha.

"Minato, can you shoulder this responsibility?"

After a moment's silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Namikaze Minato, whose face was pale.

Now that the topic has been brought up, there are some things that have to be discussed.

"teacher!"

Jiraiya was getting anxious, Minato was still just a child.

Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored Jiraiya and stared at Namikaze Minato.

"Minato, if you want to wear the Hokage hat, you must bear its weight. This hat is not light. The sun shines on the top, but there will inevitably be shadows underneath.

Shadows not only have to carry everyone's hopes and move forward, but also have to carry all the darkness and burdens and move forward."

Tamura Hao reached out and put the Hokage hat that Sarutobi Hiruzen had placed on the table on Namikaze Minato's head, and spoke to him earnestly.
