Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 419 Such a Hokage?

"Oh!"

"Too deceiving!"

"How dare the youngsters bully Konoha like this!"

In the Konoha Hokage's office, Danzo Shimura slammed the table with one hand and cursed.

He didn't care at all that the two successive Hokage were still sitting on the main seat.

As for the person he was scolding, it was naturally our Fourth Mizukage, Lord Jianchuan Tachibana.

The reason why Danzo was so excited was because of the response that Kirigakure had just sent to the joint Chunin Exam.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had also read the letter, felt unhappy.

But he still spoke up to stop Danzo from continuing to act like a spoiled child.

"Alright! What's the point of getting angry here? This is just a notice. No matter what decision we make, Kirigakure will not change it."

"What we need now is to calmly make a choice that is beneficial to Konoha."

Originally, when he heard the old man Sarutobi Hiruzen still scolding him, with Shimura Danzo's personality, he would definitely retort a few words.

However, when he saw his old teammate's equally suppressed angry expression, and the arm that just happened to be a perfect match with his.

He stammered a few words, but finally sat back down.

Until this moment, Minato Namikaze had just received the letter from Koharu Utane and read it quickly.

Only then did he sigh silently with some helplessness.

Yes.

Even though he was the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, the leader of Konoha, did not receive such an important letter until all four elders had read it.

Even when Danzo had his outburst just now, Minato Namikaze still didn't know the specific reason that made the other party so angry.

This is not the first time similar things have happened in the Hokage's office.

The list of Konoha's Anbu has not been seen yet.

The reform of the ninja school was also stopped by the principal Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The inventory of the Ninja clan's assets and land occupation was jointly resisted by the four elders.

Even such a small matter as wanting to ease the relationship between the Uchiha and the village was almost misinterpreted by Elder Danzo as a plan to wipe out the Uchiha with all his strength.

As a result, all the jonin of the Uchiha clan, except for the clan leader Uchiha Fugaku, refused to even attend the jonin meetings.

In just a few months, Minato Namikaze, who was full of confidence and ready to make a big splash.

His edges are almost smoothed out by the position of Hokage.

Even Minato Namikaze sometimes thinks so.

Compared to Danzo who often made a scene and criticized him in the Hokage's office.

Occasionally I would speak up for him.

But after stopping Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen would always say "Danzo, I am the Hokage". This was a bigger blow to his work enthusiasm.

"Perhaps it's because I'm still too young, and I can't make the Third-generation Master feel at ease?"

Constrained and restricted on all sides, Minato Namikaze seems to have no choice but to comfort himself in this way.

"Minato? Minato!"

Minato Namikaze, who was still daydreaming, suddenly came back to his senses.

Only then did he realize that the four elders were all looking at him.

Minato Namikaze scratched his head in embarrassment and quickly apologized to the four people.

"Sorry, I was distracted just now. Where were we talking about before?"

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could ask him the question again.

Mizuto Menyan, who was standing by, was the first to speak up and teach him a lesson.

"Minato, I have to say something to you about this."

"As the Fourth Hokage, everything you say and do represents Konoha."

"Whether it's a lack of seriousness in work attitude or mistakes in decision-making, it will cause great damage to the prestige of the village." Minato Namikaze, who has been "educated" countless times by several elders, has long been accustomed to it.

I don't want to explain at all at this moment. What I said will have no impact on the final decision.

At this time, after Namikaze Minato admitted his mistake, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke up to dissuade him.

"Forget it, forget it. Minato is still young after all. Who among the young has never made mistakes?"

"Isn't this the reason why we old guys exist?"

Seeing this, Minato Namikaze did not choose to refute anything, but just waited quietly for Sarutobi Hiruzen to say next.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that he had calmed the situation with just a few words, he continued to speak to Namikaze Minato with satisfaction.

"Minato, we were just asking you, should we let Kirigakure host the Joint Chunin Exam this time?"

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen was clearly asking about Namikaze Minato.

But he didn't even wait for him to speak.

Danzo Shimura, who had finally been quiet for a while, immediately spoke up and made a suggestion.

"I don't agree! We have already sent out some of the invitations for the Konoha exam! If you go back on your word now, where will Konoha's reputation be?!"

Hearing Shimura Danzo speak, Mito Kado En was not willing to be outdone.

"Face? Sunagakure has also rejected our invitation, and Kirigakure's joint exam will be scheduled on the same day as ours.

Do we have to take three or two small ninja villages with us to take the exam at that time?
What kind of joint Chunin exam is that?

"Not holding it is better than being inferior to Kirigakure!

Let those bastards from Kirigakure be the organizers. What if they use some sinister tricks to make our candidates perform poorly?

It would be better not to have any joint examination at all!"

"In fact, I think what Yan said makes sense. Besides, with Kirigakure also inviting them, Sand Village will definitely not refuse..."

Seeing that the three elders had already started arguing before he had even said a word, Minato Namikaze felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

At this moment, he even felt a little sympathy for the former Sandaime.

"No wonder Jiraiya-sensei refused to be the Hokage no matter what..."

As the quarrel between the few people intensified, the usually good-tempered Minato Namikaze finally couldn't hold back his anger.

With a 'bang' sound, the palm slammed heavily on the table.

"Let's go and join in!"

Minato Namikaze's sudden outburst immediately attracted the attention of the four people present.

"Minato, do you mean to let Kirigakure host the event? We go and take part in their Chunin Exam?"

This time, facing Utatane Koharu's question, Namikaze Minato didn't hesitate at all and replied decisively.

"That's right! I believe that Konoha's Genin will never be weaker than anyone else!"

"agree."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had never participated in the debate before, was the first to speak and express his agreement this time.

Mitomon En and Utane Koharu beside them immediately followed.

"agree!"

"agree!"

Seeing that everyone else had agreed and that he seemed powerless to make any changes, Danzo Shimura finally had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"I agree, but you have to tell Kirigakure! The number of people from Konoha taking the exam must be the same as Kirigakure!"

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, he nodded calmly.

"It's natural."

"Minato, once the time is officially confirmed, you will come up with the number of participants, right?"

"Okay... Third-generation sir..."
