Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 71 Minato: Do ​​you dare to take it?

Outside the Konoha Village, Minato looked at the "greeting personnel" in front of him and sighed.

Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En, and representatives of the ninja clan including Hyuga Hiashi.

And... Danzo Shimura!
“What a warm welcome.”

Minato took a deep breath and went forward with only Hinata Yu and Uchiha Fugaku.

"Two advisors, is Konoha doing well lately?"

Facing Minato's calm expression, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En did not dare to look at him and avoided his gaze. The former said:

"everything is fine……"

Utane Koharu paused, as if hoping that Minato would not focus his gaze on her, and took the initiative to introduce: "This is the envoy of the daimyo mansion, one of the twelve guardian ninjas, the Japanese horse ninja."

Kazuma smiled as he stepped forward and bowed to Minato, "Fourth Hokage, the Daimyo requests that you come to the Daimyo's residence to discuss an important matter."

Minato was not surprised by Kazuma's appearance, and said calmly: "The village has just ended the war, and there are various matters that need my attention. Can you please allow me to refuse?"

"This shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Kazuma smiled and looked at Utane Koharu and the others, "With so many capable people assisting us, it won't have any impact if we're not in the Ninja Village for the time being. Konoha didn't have any problems when you were away before."

Minato narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and Fugaku beside him asked, "Did the Daimyo give you a formal document?"

"certainly……"

When Kazuma turned his gaze to Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, he was momentarily startled.

Sharingan? Uchiha?
What happened...

In the eyes of outsiders, He Ma just paused and said with certainty: "No!"

Those present were all middle and high-level Konoha members, and none of them were weaker than the jonin, so they naturally knew what Fugaku had just done.

Utatane Koharu directly scolded, "Chief Fugaku, what are you doing? Attacking the daimyo's envoy is a serious crime."

Fugaku looked confused, "When did I attack Lord Kazuma?"

As he spoke, he looked at He Ma seriously and asked, "Sir He Ma, tell me, when did I attack you?"

"No." He Ma shook his head.

Utane Koharu's breathing stagnated, and her expression darkened. "The Hyuga clan leader is right behind me. Do I need him to open his Byakugan to take a look?"

"As for the White Eyes, the guy next to me also has them, Yu Jun, is he under the illusion?"

Hinata Yu glanced at Fugaku, opened his Byakugan, and said calmly: "No."

Seeing this, Minato couldn't help but smile.

Utane Koharu had a gloomy look on her face. She was annoyed by Uchiha Fugaku's shamelessness and wanted to go forward and remove the illusion for Kazuma.

"enough."

A low voice came from behind. Utane Koharu paused and she and Mito Kado En retreated to the sides to make room for the person behind them.

Danzo walked out from between the two and stood in front, "Let's stop this farce, Minato. The situation is now clear. You will not disobey the Daimyo's orders, right?"

It would be a good idea to teach Kazuma a lesson, so that he won't attack Konoha without knowing the consequences.

"Of course not."

Minato shook his head and signaled to Fugaku to remove the illusion. He then solemnly explained to Kazuma who had regained consciousness:
"Excuse me, Mr. Kazuma. Previously on the battlefield, Fugaku and I encountered an enemy with superb transformation skills. Fugaku was worried that you were an enemy in disguise."

Transformation?
Is there any transformation technique in the ninja world that the Hokage cannot recognize?

Be more thoughtful when making excuses!

Kazuma looked at Minato and Danzo with a gloomy face and said in a deep voice: "Then please go to the Daimyo's mansion. Mr. Danzo will manage Konoha's affairs."

"Okay, but before that, I have some questions for everyone here."

Minato looked directly at Danzo with his bright eyes, "Do you think you can be Hokage?"

After that, he looked at the ninjas behind Danzo and said, "Do you think you can be the Hokage? Or are you willing to support Elder Danzo to become the Hokage?"

What is the problem?
Most of the people behind Danzo looked at Minato in confusion.

Naruto is the most sensitive topic right now. By bringing it up like this, are you trying to come clean?
Danzo looked at the troops in the distance that were not coming over, and seemed to see Sarutobi Hiruzen among them. He frowned for a moment and sneered.

"Of course I can be the Hokage!" "Since I became the Hokage's assistant, I have made many contributions to Konoha. I have established an intelligence system for Konoha, trained powerful ninjas, and helped Konoha during the Second Ninja World War..."

"The ninjas behind me all support me, as do the clans behind them... Konoha can still function safely even without you."

One advantage after another came out of his mouth, as if he was proving that he was qualified to be Hokage, and as if he was putting pressure on Minato.

Minato listened to these things, which he either knew or didn't know, and just looked at him calmly, waiting for him to finish, and then he said gently: "I can become Hokage because of the support of my companions."

Along with a puff of white smoke, the Hokage hat appeared in Minato's hand, "And I will remember their names as long as I come into contact with them."

"feather."

Hinata Yu burst out with powerful chakra, which made the ninja representative in front of him instantly show a vigilant expression, but he did not do anything, just stood there quietly.

"Fugaku."

Fugaku, who originally didn't understand what Minato was trying to do, showed a look of realization when he saw Hinata Yu's behavior.

When he heard Minato calling out his name, the Mangekyō Sharingan appeared in Fugaku's eyes. Amid the expressions of fear and shock on the faces of the other ninjas, he smiled and activated Susanoo, completely not caring about the loss of his eye power.

"Kushina."

Amid the shaking of the ground, Kushina put on a chakra coat and appeared behind Minato with two controlled tailed beasts, quietly watching the ninja representatives who were subconsciously retreating.

"Sensei Jiraiya, Senior Orochimaru, Senior Tsunade."

"Oh my, this kind of scene really makes my blood boil, and you didn't even discuss it with me in advance."

Jiraiya smiled excitedly and looked at his companions, "My disciple is pretty good, isn't he?"

Remember everyone. When Minato said it, it was unexpectedly convincing.

"He inherited your strength but not your bad habits. He is indeed excellent." Tsunade nodded.

She looked at Minato's back and seemed to see many figures in him.

Staying...seems like a good idea.

"It's very good, so let me see where Minato's wind can blow."

Orochimaru glanced at Hinata Yu beside Minato and smiled.

His disciples are pretty good too...

The three ninjas exchanged glances and formed hand seals in sync.

"Psychic art!"

Three giant summoning beasts famous in the ninja world, along with the three ninjas, landed behind Minato.

At this point, He Ma's expression had become dull, his body was trembling slightly, and the fantasies in his mind turned into a broken mirror, shattering with a loud bang.

With Konoha like this...can the Daimyo really win?

"Nara Hiroyuki...Yamanaka Isshin...Akimichi Shinsuke..."

Minato called out the names of the ninjas one by one, including jonin, chunin, and genin.

Many ninjas who had come into contact with Minato thought that the other party would not remember them, but they did not expect to hear their names from Minato's mouth. They followed behind Minato in a trance, and after they reacted, they all showed excitement.

Some of them even belonged to the ninja clan that did not support Minato, but at this moment they forgot their identities and just wanted to stand behind Minato.

Looking at this scene, the third generation felt like their fantasy had become reality.

However, the one wearing the Hokage's hat was not White Fang, but Minato.

"Sarutobi-senpai."

Knowing that Minato was calling him, the Sandaime showed a smile that was both relieved and complicated, and walked among the ninjas.

After saying the last name, Minato touched the Hokage hat in his hand, his expression softened, "The position of Hokage is a responsibility to me, I need to fight with their trust."

"Then, Elder Danzo, I ask you again, can you accept this burden? Can you carry this trust?"

After saying this, Minato handed the hat to Danzo.

"If you can take it, the position of Hokage will be yours."

The midday sun shone on Minato and the Hokage hat in his hand, making Danzo feel extremely dazzling.
