My older sister is Kushina

In the Hokage's office, Minato Namikaze and Hanamichi Uzumaki continued their conversation.

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "I have carefully considered the two core issues I just mentioned. We cannot rush to resolve them. Whether it is Shimura Danzo and the Root organization or the Uchiha clan, they all possess very powerful forces in the village. We need to plan carefully to resolve these two core issues."

Minato Namikaze: "Indeed, my current strength is too weak. If I force any action, it may cause chaos in the village, which would be counterproductive."

From the moment he became the new Hokage of Konoha, Minato Namikaze shouldered a heavy responsibility. He was the inheritor of the Will of Fire and the guardian of Konoha. His goal was to build the ideal Konoha. However, he knew that he still had a long way to go to achieve this goal. He also saw the internal conflicts in Konoha and hoped to resolve them, unite all forces, and create a strong and peaceful Konoha.

To some extent, he was an idealist.

However, he is not someone who abandons reality for ideals. He longs to change Konoha, but he needs to gather enough power first.

Whirlpool Flower Path nodded: "We can prioritize first."

Minato Namikaze looked at Hanamichi Uzumaki and asked, "So, who's the main character and who's the secondary character?"

Without hesitation, Uzumaki Hanamichi stated his thoughts directly: "I think we should first resolve the issues between Shimura Danzo and the Root organization."

Minato Namikaze: "Danzo Shimura, the Root organization, and the forces behind them are almost on par with the Uchiha clan. With our current strength, it will be difficult to solve this problem first."

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "Indeed, but we can team up with others."

Minato Namikaze wasn't surprised, and asked thoughtfully, "You mean the Third Hokage?"

Minato Namikaze had already considered dealing with Danzo Shimura and the Root organization. Among the forces in the village, the only one who could suppress Danzo Shimura was probably the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Although the Third Hokage had relinquished the position of Hokage, he still held a lot of central power, and many high-ranking officials in Konoha still followed Hiruzen Sarutobi's lead. If they could unite with the Third Hokage to suppress Danzo Shimura and the Root organization, it would indeed become much easier.

However, Minato Namikaze also had concerns. If he joined forces with the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the village might become dominated by one power. Currently, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were barely maintaining the balance in the village. Once the balance was lost, it might become one-sided.

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "That's right. The Third Hokage is currently an important figure who can suppress Shimura Danzo. If we can win his support, the problem between Shimura Danzo and Root should be easier to solve."

"I've actually considered this, but..."

Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment, then left his words unsaid.

Uzumaki Hanamichi guessed what Domino Minato was thinking: "Are you worried that if Shimura Danzo's problems with the organization are resolved, the Third Hokage will become the only one in power?"

Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "That is indeed possible. However, as the former Hokage, I believe the Third Hokage will prioritize Konoha. In some ways, it would be a better outcome than eradicating Shimura Danzo. But that is only a possibility. Dealing with Shimura Danzo and the Root organization is also an opportunity for us. If we handle it well, it can make us stronger. In addition, I have another idea."

Minato Namikaze showed a hint of curiosity.

Uzumaki Hanamichi didn't keep them in suspense any longer and continued, "Besides joining forces with the Third Hokage, we can also join forces with the Uchiha clan."

Minato Namikaze looked surprised: "A coalition with the Uchiha clan?"

The Uchiha clan, who control the Konoha Police Department and are responsible for the village's security, seem to wield considerable power. However, this is actually a result of the Second Hokage's strategy of sowing discord, which has led to the Uchiha clan being increasingly marginalized.

Uzumaki Hanamichi nodded: "Since the Second Hokage, the Uchiha clan has been constantly marginalized, which is the main problem facing the Uchiha clan today. If we unite with the Uchiha clan, we may be able to gradually eliminate the estrangement between us. Of course, we also need to be wary, as the power of the Uchiha clan could plunge the village into disaster at any time."

Minato Namikaze pondered for a moment, then spoke after a brief silence: "If we could eliminate the divisions within the Uchiha clan, that would be ideal, a win-win situation. However, we're afraid we'll have a hard time understanding the internal dynamics of the Uchiha."

Whirlpool Flower said, "Perhaps there is someone who can help us."

Minato Namikaze's expression shifted: "Uchiha Shisui?"

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "Yes, Uchiha Shisui has been a member of the first squad of the Anbu for some time now. I have been secretly observing him, and he is someone who has a great chance of joining our side."

Minato Namikaze's eyes flickered slightly: "If we can bring Shisui Uchiha into our camp, with his current potential, he will definitely be able to secure a place in the Uchiha clan in the future."

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "That's for sure. He has already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and he can now be considered a core member of the Uchiha clan."

Minato Namikaze: "Indeed, he's only so young and has already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. It's said that members of the Uchiha clan awaken unique special abilities after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan. I wonder what kind of ability Uchiha Shisui has awakened?"

Kotoamatsukami!

Uzumaki Hanamichi was naturally aware of Uchiha Shisui's awakened special ability, but he couldn't tell Namikaze Minato right now: "I'll find an opportunity to ask him."

Minato Namikaze: "Yes, if we unite with the Third Hokage and the Uchiha clan, we do have the power to deal with the trouble caused by Danzo Shimura and the organization. However, Danzo Shimura is also quite strong. If we fight to the death, it may cause considerable turmoil in Konoha."

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "Yes, but if we can find something to hold against Shimura Danzo and the Root organization, we might be able to handle it much better."

Minato Namikaze: "It won't be that easy to find evidence against Danzo Shimura and the Root organization."

Whirlpool Flower said, "Well, we do have a clue that we can use now."

Minato Namikaze thought for a moment: "You mean the missing persons cases?"

Uzumaki Hanamichi nodded and said, "Yes, the destruction of the secret base confirms that Root and Orochimaru are the masterminds behind it. If we thoroughly investigate the missing persons case, perhaps I can find some useful evidence to target Shimura Danzo and Root."

Minato Namikaze: "That is indeed a good option, but this matter should probably be investigated secretly first, unless we can find crucial incriminating evidence."

In the office, Hanamichi Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze chatted back and forth, planning their future.
