Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 265 Kushina Uzumaki

Of everyone present, the only one who disliked Minato Namikaze was probably Danzo Shimura, who had narrowed his eyes and a gloomy gaze.

"This kid might have a chance this time!"

After carefully observing Minato's sincere attitude, Shimura Danzo began to make his plans.

His reputation reached its peak after defeating the Cloud Ninja's AB combination, and also after his victory on the battlefield in the Land of Grass. In one battle, he took down 4 or 50 Jonin from Iwa, successfully bringing Iwa to the negotiating table to sign a peace agreement with Konoha.

It brought peace to Konoha.

With Sarutobi having diverted Orochimaru and Jiraiya, no one could stop him from becoming Hokage.

If we take advantage of this opportunity...

"In any case, I hope to ensure Rin Nohara's personal safety."

Undeterred by the Third Hokage's and Elder Utatane's words of comfort, Minato Namikaze continued his pleading.

He knew this matter was of utmost importance, involving the balance of power among several major ninja villages. Although he was naive, he was not stupid, and his only request was to ensure the other party's safety.

The Third Hokage's intention was to hand over the Three-Tails to appease the situation, and at the same time, to see if they could use this incident to sign a ceasefire agreement with the Hidden Mist Village.

However, this raises concerns about Rin Nohara's safety.

How should the Three-Tails be handed over to the Mist Ninja? If the Mist Ninja breaks their promise and uses the Three-Tails' power on the battlefield again, who will be responsible for the resulting casualties?

If these problems are not resolved, Nohara Rin will not be able to leave Konoha alive.

"Minato, don't worry, I'll handle it properly..."

"The Three-Tails absolutely cannot be handed over to the Mist Ninja!"

Before the Third Hokage could finish speaking, Shimura Danzo interrupted Hiruzen Sarutobi.

This caused the third generation leader to frown.

However, he didn't say much more.

"We should leave the Three-Tails in the village; that way, we'll have an ace up our sleeve!"

It's probably impossible to force the Three-Tails to remain in Konoha's hands, but he still wants to try. What if Konoha withstands the pressure? That way, he'll have the resources to fight the Nine-Tails.

Furthermore, we could also try to utilize the Three-Tails Jinchuriki to create some trouble for the opponent.

"Absolutely not!"

As soon as Danzo finished speaking, the Third Hokage rejected his opinion.

"The balance of the Tailed Beasts is a rule established by the First Hokage, and it cannot be broken!"

Seemingly to strengthen his argument, the Third Hokage added, "Furthermore, the puppet control talisman that the Mist Ninja placed inside Nohara Rin is extremely sophisticated; we can't bypass it!"

From the perspective of the Third Hokage and the others, the puppet talisman inside Rin Nohara's body was a means set up by the Kirigakure to control Rin, and they didn't think of anything else.

"Hmph... Since Nohara Rin is unreliable, let's find another Jinchūriki."

Nohara Rin is just a Chunin; compared to the Three-Tails, she's utterly insignificant and can be discarded without a second thought.

It just so happens that Nohara Rin is a disciple of Namikaze Minato, and since he was having a headache about how to control her, wouldn't replacing her with someone else solve all the problems?

"this……"

This left not only the Third Hokage but also the elders present looking at each other in bewilderment, wondering whether Danzo's suggestion was feasible.

Honestly, if a Three-Tails fell from the sky, how could these Konoha high-ranking officials not be tempted? It's just that the other party's situation really doesn't allow them to do so.

As for Danzo's opinion, it's not that they're unaware of it, but how can such a thing be discussed openly? Only someone like Danzo could speak so frankly.

After all, these people still have some sense of shame.

boom!

A loud bang was heard, and then the entire conference room door was flung open.

Even the conference room trembled with the loud noise.

"Kushina Uzumaki, who let you in?!"

Upon seeing the figure appear at the door, before the Third Hokage could even speak, Shimura Danzo began to reprimand him in a very impolite tone.

"Come talk to me again when you become Hokage!"

Kushina, who burst through the door, didn't bother to pay any attention to the gloomy old man.

This old man had cast a long shadow over her childhood. Seeing how rude he was, she immediately shut him down with a single sentence, leaving him looking pale.

"Kushina Uzumaki, how dare you talk to me like that? Are you even a Konoha ninja?!"

His face was ashen. He really had no good way to deal with this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. The opponent's strength was simply incomparable to that of his Root subordinates.

His original idea was that after the other party came to Konoha, he should be put to his care and training so that the other party could become an excellent weapon.

It's ridiculous that back then, Mito Uzumaki protected her and even let her attend the Ninja Academy. After Mito Uzumaki passed away, Hiruzen Sarutobi took good care of her.

Now that they're older and have become more independent, they don't take him seriously at all.

Even her boyfriend wanted to take her Hokage position.

"I just heard someone say they want to abandon Lin, and I disagree!"

As soon as she entered the conference room, Kushina Uzumaki made her intentions clear.

Moreover, she was not alone at this moment. Nohara Rin's petite figure was following closely behind her, her face pale and her expression sorrowful.

She had just been waiting with Nohara Rin in the hallway outside. Nohara Rin might not know it yet, but with her exceptional perception, she knew exactly what had happened in the conference room.

Upon seeing that wicked old man, Danzo Shimura, and hearing him offer such an opinion, how could he possibly control his fiery temper?

What will Rin do if the Three-Tails is moved away? She can't survive without the Three-Tails.

"These are not things a Jonin like you should be worrying about!"

"Shut up!!!"

Seeing that the old man was still rambling on and on, Kushina Uzumaki, unable to bear it any longer, unleashed a furious roar at him.

Combined with the Nine-Tails chakra within her, a violent gust of wind pressure rushed towards the opponent.

Unprepared, Shimura Danzo was blown backward by the gust of wind until his back hit the back of the chair, finally stopping his fall.

Not only him, but everyone present was overwhelmed by the sudden burst of chakra from Kushina Uzumaki, making it hard to breathe.

Even the glass in the doors and windows couldn't withstand the pressure and started cracking.

"Kushina! No one wants to abandon Nohara Rin, calm down~"

As one of the few people present who could withstand the opponent's chakra, the Third Hokage adjusted his hat, which had been blown askew, and offered words of comfort.

After she finished speaking, she didn't forget to give Nohara Rin a kind smile.
