Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

"Lord Hokage, I'm ready!"

Orochimaru took a few steps back, then slammed his palm on the ground.

To everyone's astonishment, a coffin slowly rose from the ground.

The coffin lid was opened, and the body of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, appeared before everyone.

Minato's body was very well preserved, and the people of Konoha recognized him at a glance—he was the Fourth Hokage of Konoha!

Before they could react, Naruto suddenly burst out of the crowd, shouting as he ran.

"dad!!!"

Apart from a few high-ranking Konoha officials who knew the truth, everyone else was completely bewildered. All they could think of was…

"Who is Naruto calling 'Dad'? Is it the Fourth Hokage?"

Naruto ran to the coffin, his trembling hand reaching out to touch Minato's face. Someone shouted angrily...

"Naruto! What are you doing?! How dare you disrespect the Fourth Hokage!"

Qianhe glanced at the man, then raised her hand and pulled him in front of her.

"Grabbing him by the neck," Qianhe said coldly.

"Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage, is there anything wrong with what he did?"

These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

"What?! Naruto's father is the Fourth Hokage? Isn't he the son of the Nine-Tailed Fox?"

"This can't be true, can it? I've never heard of this before!"

"Impossible! How could the Hokage's child have turned out like this?"

Chiga was annoyed by the noise of these people. He threw the person he was holding into the crowd and said coldly,

"Shut up, everyone!"

An aura of pressure erupted, and the previously noisy crowd immediately fell silent.

Sasuke stood in the crowd, looking at Naruto, and murmured,

"Naruto's father was actually the Fourth Hokage?"

Thinking of Naruto's childhood experiences, Sasuke clenched his fists involuntarily.

"Why? Why did they treat Naruto like that? Why didn't Konoha announce this to the public sooner?!"

After much thought, Sasuke pictured a figure wrapped in bandages in his mind.

"It's that damned Danzo again!"

Chika didn't look at the crowd again. He wanted Minato to see for himself how the Konoha he was protecting treated Naruto.

He came to Naruto's side, patted him on the shoulder, and then looked at Minato in the coffin, activating the Rinnegan.

Although Tsunade and the others did not see Chiga's Rinnegan, they still felt a terrifying pressure that made them feel suffocated.

Chiga's Rinnegan shone with a brilliant purple light. He clasped his hands together and let out a low shout.

"The Reincarnation Technique of the Underworld!"

Chapter 318 Minato's Resurrection

Inside the coffin, Minato's body was enveloped in a milky white halo. Gradually, his skin turned blood-red, just like he looked in life.

Everyone was completely stunned, but Chiga's actions did not stop.

He reached out, and a ball of blue energy floated out from his sleeve and attached itself to Minato's body.

Minato's eyes trembled slightly, and Naruto called out "Dad" in a trembling voice. At Naruto's call, Minato suddenly opened his eyes and stepped out of the coffin.

He first looked around blankly, then looked at Naruto in front of him.

Naruto could no longer hold back and threw himself into Minato's arms, crying out for his father with all his might, as if he wanted to call back everything he had missed over the years.

With tears in his eyes, Minato responded to Naruto again and again.

This scene moved everyone present, even Orochimaru, who remained solemn and no one dared to utter a sound to disturb him.

Once Naruto had calmed down a bit, Minato gently pushed him away and turned to look at Chika.

He placed his fist against Chika's chest and whispered,

"Thank you, Chika!"

Chika pouted and gave a soft snort.

"Tch, I've already said, you should take care of your own child. I don't have the time for that!"

Minato shook his head and chuckled, saying,

"You're still the same old arrogant person!"

"Hmm? You've gotten too cocky, wanting to go back to your coffin again, huh?"

"Ahem, what I mean is that you're still as loyal and devoted as ever!"

Chika had already closed his Rinnegan, so he could only roll his eyes at Minato. He pointed to his divine robes and said,

"I'm Hokage now. What do you, the former Hokage, have to say? If you want to be reinstated, I can give it to you right now."

Minato shook his head and said calmly,

"No! Let whoever wants to be Hokage be it, I just want to be a good father right now!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto's emotions, which he had just suppressed, surged up again, and he kept wiping away his tears.

Chiga had anticipated this outcome, but his words were not just polite. If Minato still wanted to be Hokage, he would definitely give up the position to him; he wouldn't even consider a village chief.

The only reason he became Hokage was to break the tradition that the Uchiha clan could not produce a Hokage.

The others finally came to their senses, staring in disbelief at the living, breathing Minato, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

Minato looked up at the Hokage Rock above, his gaze lingering for a moment on the portraits of the Third Hokage and himself, before turning away without a trace of lingering affection.

Looking at the Konoha members, Minato's face blossomed into a bright smile, like a little sun.

"Everyone, long time no see!"

Although Minato's tenure was short, the people loved him no less than the other Hokage. Moreover, Minato saved Konoha during the Nine-Tails' attack, making him a hero of Konoha.

Some people were already sobbing quietly; they had not forgotten this former Konoha Little Sun.

Kakashi stood in the crowd with his head hanging low. He really wanted to go up and hug Minato, but he felt incredibly guilty because he hadn't taken good care of Naruto.

Minato spotted Kakashi in the crowd immediately. He tilted his head and said,

"Kakashi, why didn't you even greet your teacher? Don't you recognize me?"

Kakashi's body trembled. He slowly stepped out from the crowd, and said with a guilty expression,

"Teacher, I..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? Come to my house for dinner tonight, and let the teacher hear how you've been all these years!"

These words brought Kakashi to tears. He ripped off the mask covering his right eye and choked out,

"Teacher! I'm so sorry to Naruto! And even more sorry to you and your wife!"

Minato slowly approached Kakashi and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't say that anymore, the teacher isn't blaming you."

Tsunade stared intently at Minato's face, and Minato, noticing her gaze, turned and asked in confusion,

"Lady Tsunade, what are you looking at?"

Tsunade remained silent, but a storm raged within her.

"He's alive! Minato is really alive! How did he do that!?"

Forget about Hokage and Konoha; Tsunade had completely forgotten all that. What she was thinking about was what this technique that could revive the dead was, and whether it had any limitations.

If she learns this skill, then her deceased relatives will be able to return to her side.

Many people shared Tsunade's thoughts, and they all looked at Chiga with eager expressions, their purpose self-evident.

Chiga ignored them, glancing at Minato and saying with ill intent,

"I hereby announce that Minato Namikaze will serve as the Minister of Administration."

The Administrative Department is the most powerful department in Konoha. Its function is to manage all political affairs in Konoha. To become the highest-ranking official in the Administrative Department, it is not enough to just have the ability; seniority is the most important factor.

Its highest-ranking officers originally numbered two: Mitokado Homura, whom Chiga fed to the dogs, and Utatane Koharu.

With the deaths of the two, their positions became vacant, and Minato, who had been Hokage and had a very good relationship with Chika, was naturally the most suitable candidate.

Of course, Chiga's main goal was to let Minato handle the political affairs, while she herself would be a hands-off manager.

Minato gave a wry smile and said,

"Chiga, can I not take this position as minister?"

"Hmm? You mean you want to be unemployed? Fine, but your properties have already been confiscated by the Third Hokage. Why don't you squeeze in with Naruto for now?"

"...I'll take it! I'll take it, okay?"

Minato gritted his teeth and agreed. Kakashi looked at Minato's hand on his shoulder and weakly said,

"Teacher, you're using a bit too much force..."

Having dealt with the water gate, Chiga continued,

“The former head of the Dark Division has died in the line of duty. The position of head of the Dark Division cannot remain vacant. I already have someone in mind, and I will have him take office in a few days.”

The previous head of the Anbu was someone left behind by the Third Hokage, and he had already been arranged by Chiga to "die in the line of duty." Tsunade and the others knew this, but what could they say at the moment? They could only remain silent.

However, they were still curious about who the new head of the Anbu would be. Judging from Minato's situation, they guessed that Chika was going to resurrect someone who was dead, and most likely an Uchiha!

Judging from Chiga's past experiences, he has almost no relatives in the Uchiha clan. So who will he resurrect? Could it be Uchiha Fugaku? Wouldn't the position of police chief be more suitable for him?

Qianhe didn't offer any explanation. He rubbed his forehead and said impatiently,

"I'm a little tired, let's call it a day!"
