Minato Namikaze pointed at Might Guy, "Captain Sakumo, I plan to hand over the leadership of many Root ninjas to Might Guy. What do you think, Captain Sakumo?"

"I have no opinion."

Sakumo Hatake glanced at Might Guy standing beside Minato Namikaze, then nodded to Minato, "Guy is an excellent ninja, and I believe he can handle the position he's in."

"That's good."

Minato Namikaze nodded. "Minister Sakumo, from today onwards, Might Guy will be in your hands."

"Yes!" Sakumo Hatake agreed.

"Alright, besides Might Guy's appointment to the Dark Division, there's another matter I wanted to discuss with Chief Sakumo."

Minato Namikaze looked out the window, his gaze finally settling on Hiruzen Sarutobi's mansion. "The Third Hokage has been making some moves lately, and I think Minister Sakumo should take note."

"Fourth Boss, I've already sent people to follow up."

Sakumo Hatake's expression was somewhat cold. "Fourth Hokage, rest assured, no matter what the Third Hokage does, the tide will always be in your hands. The Third Hokage has no control over it at all."

"I know that, but I'm still a little worried that the Third Hokage might take a desperate gamble."

Minato Namikaze sighed, "The Sarutobi clan is definitely a major clan in Konoha, and the strength of their clan's ninjas should not be underestimated."

"Although we are confident that we can handle a series of dangerous events that may occur in the future, going too far will inevitably damage the foundation of Konoha."

"You can rest assured about this teacher."

Akira Hatake interjected, "When that time really comes, I believe the Third Hokage will weigh the pros and cons. Even if he can't make the choice himself, I will make the choice for him."

"But I'm worried about the Sarutobi clan..."

"Teacher, you've forgotten that the Book of Seals of Kirigakure and Kumogakure are in our hands."

"Ming, you mean..."

"By utilizing the sealed books of the two hidden villages, we have won over and divided a portion of the Sarutobi clan. They will definitely play a crucial role when the time comes."

"It has to be you, Akira!" Minato Namikaze was delighted. "No matter what the problem is, you always have a brilliant solution."

"Teacher, please don't praise me. You probably already had a plan in mind, didn't you?"

Akira Hatake smiled at Minato Namikaze, who nodded without saying a word.

After discussing Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze's expression changed, and he solemnly revealed the most important piece of news.

Uzumaki Kushina is pregnant!

This made Akira Hatake frown. In his mind, Kushina Uzumaki's pregnancy shouldn't have happened so early.

But upon further reflection, Akira Hatake felt relieved.

Under Akira Hatake's intervention, the timeline of the Naruto world underwent significant changes, which altered many established facts about the future.

Akira Hatake didn't have much to say about this; he could only say that he would do his best to ensure that everything in the future was under control.

"Teacher, does anyone else know that Kushina is pregnant?"

"not at all."

Minato Namikaze remained solemn, saying, "Because of Kushina's status, I haven't told anyone about her pregnancy."

"That's good."

Akira Hatake nodded. "Master, please leave Kushina's safety to me."

"I would have given it to you to do even if you hadn't told me."

Minato Namikaze nodded, then changed the subject, "However, there is still a long time before Kushina gives birth. In the meantime, I think the most important thing for you to do is to lead the Konoha ninja forces to completely defeat the Kaze and Tochi kingdoms."

"Only in this way can we focus all our attention on Kushina."

Minato Namikaze glanced in his direction. "After all, Kushina was the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, and the seal within her was at its weakest when she gave birth."

"Don't worry."

Akira Hatake made a promise: "Give me a month, and I will resolve the issues between Kazeto and Kazeto!"

"In that case, I'll leave it to you and Kakashi from now on."

Minato Namikaze strode to his desk, took out an appointment document from a drawer, and said, "This appointment document was prepared for you a long time ago, and it comes in handy today."

Reaching out to take the appointment document, Akira Hatake glanced at it twice and then closed it. "Teacher, shall I leave tomorrow?"

"That's what I meant."

Minato Namikaze nodded. "The Land of Waterfall sent us a letter requesting assistance a long time ago. I think if we don't hurry, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Takigakure will probably fall into the hands of both countries."

"Hehe, even if it falls into the hands of the Kaze and Tochi kingdoms, we can just take the Seven-Tails back."

Since the topic of tailed beasts has come up, Akira Hatake naturally thought of Rōshi, the Jinchūriki of the Four-Tails, and Yugito Nii, the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails.

"By the way, teacher, what are your plans regarding the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"I have already figured out a specific way to deal with the Four-Tails and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki."

Minato Namikaze was confident. "After the Third Shinobi World War, I will organize an assessment to finally decide the ownership of the two tailed beasts."

"That's good too."

Akira Hatake nodded, agreeing with Minato Namikaze's decision.

"So, teacher, is there anything else?"

"That's all, everyone go and get busy."

Minato Namikaze shook his head and then ordered him to leave, as he still had a lot of official business to attend to that day.

Akira Hatake and the others didn't say anything in response. After bidding farewell to Minato Namikaze, they left the Hokage's office.

Chapter 253 Madara Uchiha dies, a new curtain rises.

After his trip to Loulan, Akira Hatake's only remaining task was to end the Third Shinobi World War.

"Master Ming!"

"Master Ming!"

"Master Ming!"

On the command platform at the entrance of Konoha Village, Akira Hatake stood there, calmly accepting the fervent adulation of the Konoha ninja below.

On this day that everyone was watching, Akira Hatake had already gotten used to it.

He raised his hand as if to press down, and the audience immediately fell silent.

"Ahem!" Clearing his throat, Akira Hatake prepared to give his speech before the troops set off.

"I won't introduce myself here; I believe everyone in the village knows me."

As soon as Akira Hatake finished speaking, a burst of good-natured laughter erupted from the audience.

Ignoring him, Akira Hatake continued his speech.

"In this great battle, under the leadership of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, we achieved the greatest victory in the history of Konoha."

"We have decimated the Hidden Cloud Village, and the Eight-Tails and Two-Tails are now all in our village."

"Even the Book of Seals in the Hidden Cloud Village has fallen into our hands."

"The same goes for Kirigakure; they not only lost their wives but also their troops!"

"Unfortunately, the two countries of Fengtu are still constantly provoking war, attempting to make a last-ditch effort."

"To this, I only have one question for both Fengtu and the other two kingdoms: Why should they!"

"This war was clearly started by the Land of Wind, so why are they still trying to save face at the very end!"

"Will you agree?!"

Akira Hatake's question immediately received a response from the Konoha ninja below the command platform.

"No!"

"Defeat the two kingdoms of Kaze and Todo!"

"No!"

"Defeat the two kingdoms of Kaze and Todo!"

The unified shouts resounded through the sky. Feeling that the atmosphere was about right, Akira Hatake raised his hand again to press down.

As Akira Hatake made his move, the scene instantly returned to calm, and everyone looked up at Akira Hatake on the command platform.

"So today, the purpose of everyone gathering here is to join me in completely defeating the Kingdom of Fuuto and the Kingdom of Kazeto, and thus completely ending the Third Shinobi World War!"

"Before the troops set off, I have a few things to say to everyone."

"First, regardless of whether you survive this final battle, you will all have the opportunity to go to the Ninjutsu Library and select a Rank B Ninjutsu."

"As for the fallen heroes of Konoha, your descendants will inherit this qualification and will receive a very generous pension."

"If you have no children or descendants, then the opportunity to go to the Ninja Library to select a Rank B Ninja Technique will be transferred to your parents or siblings."

"Second, after the war ends, the top 100 ninjas who kill the most enemy ninjas will have the opportunity to go to the Ninjutsu Library again to select B-rank ninjutsu."

"As for the top ten outstanding ninjas, you will have a total of three opportunities to go to the Ninjutsu Library to select B-rank ninjutsu."

"Furthermore, you will be received by the Fourth Hokage and will receive his personal instruction!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

As soon as Akira Hatake finished speaking, the Konoha ninja below the command platform erupted in cheers once again.

The reason they wanted to become ninjas was not only because of their education, but also because they wanted to be superior in strength.

Now, Akira Hatake has shown them a clear path, a clear path that can improve their strength!

Never underestimate the power of B-rank ninjutsu. You should know that Akira Hatake is already this strong, and he often uses B-rank ninjutsu when fighting.

It can be said that B-rank ninjutsu is already considered a relatively high-level ninjutsu, and most ninjas who can master many B-rank ninjutsu are at the Jonin level.

If a ninja has mastered more than three B-rank ninjutsu, then their strength must be at least in the upper-middle range among Jonin.
