With top-tier fighters like Akira Hatake, Minato Namikaze, Kakashi Hatake, Sakumo Hatake, and Kushina Uzumaki, Konoha could easily wipe out a major nation in a short time!

And don't forget, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, was also captured. When the Four-Tails is extracted from his body and sealed into a Konoha ninja, Konoha will gain another top-tier fighter.

With such an advantage, even Akira Hatake didn't know how he could lose!

Akira Hatake refused to believe that the four hidden villages could continue to be so stubborn when they were almost wiped out!

Even if the Kage of each of the major hidden villages wanted to lead their village's ninjas to fight Konoha to the death, the Daimyo of the four great nations would absolutely not agree.

That's how those in power are; their own lives are far more important than the future of a country.

Even if those in power have a long-term vision, the four daimyo of the four great nations are definitely not included in it.

"We must create a peaceful environment for our children and grandchildren!"

After the heavy breathing subsided, someone finally couldn't hold back and shouted out loud.

"We will risk the lives of one generation to create a better future for our next generation and the generation after that!"

"We are the victors now, and the losers must pay the price!"

"They started the war, and now that we've won, we must show them the cruelty of war!"

"agree!"

"I agree with the Fourth Hokage's proposal!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

The rising tide of calls for war, and the continuous stream of votes in favor, brought a broad smile to Minato Namikaze's face.

He knew this was a sure thing!

Moreover, it not only stabilized the internal situation of Konoha, but also completely seized control of the village's discourse.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet."

Minato Namikaze raised his hand and pressed down, and the conference room immediately fell silent. "Since the majority of people voted in favor of this resolution, then this resolution is officially in effect."

Minato Namikaze put the documents aside and looked down at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Third Hokage, is there anything else you'd like to add, or perhaps you'd like to change the decision you made on behalf of the Sarutobi clan?"

Minato Namikaze said this because he wanted to give Hiruzen Sarutobi one last chance.

After all, the combined strength of Hiruzen Sarutobi's clan and his three staunch allies should not be underestimated.

At the very least, the combined strength of these four families already represents one-fifth of Konoha's core fighting force...

In order not to cause too much damage to Konoha's foundation, Minato Namikaze decided to give Hiruzen Sarutobi a way out and let him honestly accept reality.

"Fourth Hokage, there's nothing I want to change!"

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi was not grateful. On the contrary, he disliked Minato Namikaze even more because of his radical ideas.

Hiruzen Sarutobi always felt that Konoha, under the leadership of Minato Namikaze, would one day become the biggest instigator of ninja wars.

The difference in their ideologies and governing strategies made it impossible for Hiruzen Sarutobi to back down or accept Minato Namikaze's goodwill.

Minato Namikaze's expression turned cold, then he sighed inwardly, having already made his decision.

"If that's the case, then so be it. I hope the Third Generation will stick to his ideas as always."

Minato Namikaze's almost confrontational words made Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turn even more ashen, and in the end, unable to bear it any longer, he could only turn and leave.

However, when Hiruzen Sarutobi reached the door of the conference room, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

What about his three staunch allies?!

"Fourth Hokage, our Shimura clan is willing to hand over all the ninjutsu books in our clan."

"Fourth Hokage, our Utatane clan is the same, and I must apologize to you for my previous shortsightedness!"

"Fourth Hokage, my Mitokado clan is the same. Please forgive our previous recklessness."

ally?

It's just an alliance of interests; once there's a greater temptation of profit, the alliance will naturally fall apart.

Compared to the waning Hiruzen Sarutobi, the rising star Minato Namikaze was naturally a better choice.

Moreover, the Shimura, Utatane, and Mitomon clans clearly understand that Konoha, which currently holds an absolute advantage, will definitely realize all of Minato Namikaze's previous topics and ideas!

Since that's the case, for the sake of their family's future, they have no choice but to follow the crowd, even if it means being targeted by the Uchiha clan in the future!

"you……!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was angry, but also frustrated. He wanted to point at his former ally and yell at him, but the words he wanted to say turned into a sigh.

"The choice is yours, but I hope you won't regret it!"

After saying his last words, Hiruzen Sarutobi pushed open the door and left the conference room, his lonely figure gradually disappearing into the distance.

"The third generation may be tired or unwell, after all, he is already very old."

After Hiruzen Sarutobi left, Minato Namikaze immediately drew everyone's attention back with a single sentence.

"Next, let's move on to the next topic."

After flipping through the manuscript in his hand, Minato Namikaze looked up and said, "I want Sakumo Hatake, Fugaku Uchiha, Hiashi Hyuga, Shikaku Nara, and Kakashi Hatake to be in charge of negotiating peace with the defeated nations. What do you all think?"

"agree!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

"..."

As soon as Minato Namikaze finished speaking, the meeting room was filled with unanimous support; there was no other voice.

This shows that, barring any major mistakes, Minato Namikaze's decrees will proceed smoothly throughout Konoha!

In less than a day, Minato Namikaze had already seized control of Konoha and firmly grasped the power of the Hokage.

This was due to the help of Akira Hatake and others, as well as Minato Namikaze's own reasons.

It can only be said that it was a matter of timing and fate. Minato Namikaze encountered the best era and the best people of that era...

"In that case, let's move on to the last item on the agenda."

Minato Namikaze looked around before fixing his gaze on Hiashi Hyuga. "Clan Chief Hiashi, as the head of the Hyuga clan, I believe no one is more suitable to be the librarian than you!"

Hiashi Hyuga was taken aback at first by Minato Namikaze's sudden call to name, but then he was overjoyed.

Hiashi Hyuga attended the entire meeting today, and he naturally understood the status of the yet-to-be-completed Ninjutsu Library in Konoha!

Now, Minato Namikaze has handed over the power to guard, manage, and allocate the Ninjutsu Library to the Hyuga clan, which is equivalent to giving the Hyuga clan control over the lifeline of Konoha!

This shows that they value and respect each other, and it was also a deal that the two of them had secretly made long ago.

Throughout the meeting, from its beginning to its middle stages, Hiashi Hyuga was actually holding back a lot of anger.

Last night, when Minato Namikaze was trying to win over the Hyuga clan, he clearly stated that he would give the Hyuga clan a leadership position in one of Konoha's powerful departments.

But as time went on, even after the Uchiha clan had risen from their servitude and were singing their own praises, the benefits that Minato Namikaze had promised to the Hyuga clan still hadn't arrived...

Just as Hyuga Hiashi was about to unleash his power, a huge surprise suddenly fell on his head!

"Of course! Our Hyuga clan's Byakugan can expose any unscrupulous person who dares to approach the Ninja Library without permission!"

Hiashi Hyuga was brimming with confidence, pounding his chest with a resounding thud, "Fourth Hokage, rest assured, as long as the Hyuga clan exists, we will ensure the Ninja Library remains perfectly safe!"

"Of course I believe in the strength of Clan Chief Hiashi and the entire Hyuga clan." Minato Namikaze nodded with a smile, then his gaze swept over everyone. "What do you all think?"

Minato Namikaze's question, given that he already had complete control over the narrative, was clearly redundant, but the necessary procedures still needed to be followed—that's the rule of the game.

"agree!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

Unsurprisingly, those present, though unwilling, had no choice but to raise their hands and vote in favor.

"Alright, then I announce the appointed person as the vice director of the Ninja Library."

Minato Namikaze turned his gaze to Akira Hatake, "As the vice principal of the Ninja Academy, you'll definitely have to deal with the Ninja Library in the future."

"Being appointed as the deputy director of the Ninja Library will save you a lot of effort."

Seemingly oblivious to the distressed look on Hatake Akira's face, Namikaze Minato then turned to Hyuga Hiashi, "Director Hiashi, the Ninja Library is of utmost importance. I hope you can cooperate well with Vice Director Hatake Akira."

"Don't worry, Fourth Hokage, I guarantee there won't be any mistakes!"

"Ah."

Minato Namikaze nodded, then closed his speech. "That's all for the agenda. Everyone, please sign here and the meeting is adjourned!"

Thus, Minato Namikaze's three initiatives on his first day in office were very successful!

Chapter 235 Orochimaru: Confident of reviving Rin Nohara within two years.

Minato Namikaze's first meeting after assuming the position of Fourth Hokage concluded perfectly.

Akira Hatake finally got the leisure time he had been looking forward to.

However, Minato Namikaze is different. Now he spends almost 24 hours a day in the Hokage's office, dealing with mountains of administrative affairs.

Kushina Uzumaki often lost her temper with Minato Namikaze over this, but in the end, nothing ever came of it.

Minato Namikaze was also helpless, as there were almost no people who could help him with government affairs.

Akira Hatake's lazy personality might be good for giving Minato Namikaze advice or making plans, but don't even think about asking him to handle political affairs for Minato.

Kakashi Hatake is becoming more and more like a blade. Although he can help Minato Namikaze, Minato is still somewhat uneasy about him.

Sakumo Hatake was undoubtedly the best choice for Minato Namikaze.

The problem is that Sakumo Hatake is now the head of Konoha's Anbu, and he has no fewer problems to deal with than Minato Namikaze.

After much deliberation and going around in circles, Minato Namikaze ultimately decided to take matters into his own hands.

However, not all the burdens fell on Minato Namikaze's shoulders. After Akira Hatake was promoted to vice principal of the Ninja Academy and vice director of the Ninjutsu Library, he also had many things to deal with.
