Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 151 Tobirama Senju: Why aren't you married yet?

Minato Namikaze's words have essentially settled the matter.

When something this big happens, someone has to take responsibility, and all of this happened under the management of Shuimen.

Moreover, according to his own words, he does not intend to shirk responsibility but rather to take the initiative to assume it, which is indeed what a qualified Hokage should do.

His choice only caused immense heartache for the Third Hokage and others, and even for Tobirama Senju himself.

"He can take responsibility proactively, doesn't shirk it, and has a good personality. This kid is a qualified and suitable Hokage."

Tobirama Senju nodded inwardly, but soon he couldn't contain his anger.

Danzo.

Tobirama Senju had always thought that he wouldn't hate anyone to the extent that Madara Uchiha did, but now he realized that he had underestimated human nature.

Danzo, his former disciple, has truly reached this level, to the point that he hates him so much that he wants to go back in time and simply leave Danzo behind to cover the retreat!

He really didn't know how Danzo had managed to twist his personality to such an extent, but he guessed that it was probably due to the actions of his other good disciples.

Bonds are a very important thing, something his elder brother has always emphasized, but Tobirama Senju never felt that such feelings were of any use in leading a village.

Feelings can exist, but they should never be indulged, otherwise they will lead to unimaginable bitter consequences, just like what is happening now!

"Why."

With a helpless sigh, Tobirama Senju was emotionally opposed to the young Fourth Hokage's decision, but rationally he knew he had to support him.

Because Konoha really needs someone to take responsibility, especially since Danzo caused such a huge mess this time. He actually naively thought he could take down the Uchiha with three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan.

If it were his own elder brother, it might not be a problem, but even for Tobirama Senju himself, he would have to consider the abilities of these three.

Of these three, one of them even mastered his own Flying Thunder God Technique.

"I think we can put this matter aside for now. After all, the selection of the new Hokage takes time and requires more preparation."

Yuri's feelings were actually quite complicated. He had already guessed that this situation would happen, but when Minato Namikaze actually said those words, he still shook his head.

However, he had a clear conscience. Just as Minato said, he had already made the suggestion, but Minato himself refused.

"The most important thing right now is to deal with the problems left behind by Danzo, and also the details of his alliance with that mysterious Uchiha."

That guy then attacked Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi. If I hadn't spotted Hyuga Hizashi's signal flare, I'm afraid...

It was clearly your doing!

The somewhat heavy topic was glossed over by Yuzhi, but when Hikaru and Shisui heard Yuzhi's words, they both felt a little uneasy.

Shisui lowered his head, not daring to look any longer. However, he was thinking about something. He now understood why Haori had said that she wanted to become the Fifth Hokage.

"So, you've seen through everything all along."

Hikari, however, didn't care about any of that. Whether Hagoromo was an ordinary Uchiha, a clan head, or the Hokage of Konoha, it was all the same to her.

This guy is still the same boy who dug himself out, still the same pervert with weird fetishes, and still the same guy who talks nonsense all the time. Nothing will change.

"Did that guy attack Hinata?"

Jiraiya had long wanted to avoid discussing these sad topics, so he immediately picked up where Haori left off.

"Haori, do you know what his purpose is?"

"I don't know, but both Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi are injured, and it seems like a piece of flesh was ripped out of him. I'm afraid that guy is trying to do some kind of experiment."

Yu Zhi shamelessly spoke up, since if the matter was pinned on Obito, there would be no way to prove it, but this time he could also produce some things in a reasonable way.

"However, I have also gained some insights, which I would like to share with you all."

"What is this?"

The Third Hokage spoke with some curiosity, but Tsunade seemed to have thought of something, and she immediately got up and walked over.

"Tsunade-senpai told me to keep a close eye on that guy's hands, and I've remembered that this time."

Yu Zhi smiled, unfolded the scroll in his hand, and the next moment an arm appeared in front of everyone.

"This is…"

Tobirama Senju was the most perceptive; he immediately sensed that this arm was unusual, containing his elder brother's aura!

"Although he ran quite fast, Hikari had already defeated him before attacking Hyuga."

Seeing everyone's gaze, Yuzhi smiled and shrugged.

"And I just happened to get a good deal, plus Tsunade-senpai's words, so..."

However, I think this should allow us to conduct better research on that guy, right?

"With such complete materials, I think there shouldn't be any problems."

Tsunade nodded directly, while Tobirama Senju now understood the real reason for summoning him. He truly hadn't expected the situation to have become this serious!

Where on earth did this guy get his older brother's cells?

"And everyone, there's something I think we should discuss."

Just as everyone was staring blankly at the arm, Yuzhi continued to speak.

"A wandering Uchiha is not good for either Konoha or the Uchiha clan. Moreover, what he has done over the years has been excessive. We need to define him."

"What are your thoughts, Hagoromo?"

Minato nodded upon hearing this. He knew that Yuki didn't want that guy to contact the current Uchiha clan, so that someone wouldn't use that as a pretext to attack him later.

Of course, no one would dare to do that, but it's still necessary to clarify some things.

"I think we can make it public that even if it was just one Uchiha clan member who caused so much trouble because of his hatred for Konoha."

Haori stroked her chin and gave an answer, which puzzled Minato and the others, while Tobirama Senju snorted coldly.

"hatred?"

Minato hadn't yet realized what this meant, while Haori smiled and nodded.

"He has Wood Release, and so does Danzo. Moreover, Danzo also has the Sharingan, so it can be seen that Danzo secretly kidnapped him many years ago and used him to conduct some verification experiments."

The experiment was a success. This guy inherited the power of the First Hokage's Wood Release and, due to the great stimulation, awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Possessing both abilities, he decided to take revenge on Konoha because the Root of Konoha had caused him such great pain.

The reason he cooperated with Danzo was probably because Danzo created him and made some promise, and he was just going through the motions; otherwise, he wouldn't have failed to save Danzo in the end.

After all, everyone knows his abilities; it would be very easy for him to take Danzo away.

"."

Yuzhi's words left everyone present looking at each other in bewilderment, although such an explanation could not change the fact that Minato had to take responsibility.

But isn't it a bit excessive for Haori to take the blame even after Danzo dies?

It has to be said, Hagoromo really has the talent to be Hokage.

"So, everyone, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yu Zhi couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

The group looked at each other, and finally Minato, as the Hokage, nodded and spoke.

"Let's arrange it that way then. I'll release the information immediately."

The Third Hokage simply nodded silently; after all, Danzo was meant to be a scapegoat.

He's caused such a huge mess that even if he dies, he'll likely have to shoulder some of the blame.

"Are you alright, Obito?"

In a forest outside Konoha Village, Black Zetsu looked at Obito, whose face was gloomy, and couldn't help but offer words of comfort.

Actually, he never had high expectations for Obito's operation this time, after all, that Uchiha had three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan!

Even if Uchiha Haori's eyes couldn't hold on, there were still Uchiha Hotaru and Uchiha Shisui, who were the ones who had brutally beaten Obito.

And this proved to be true. As expected, Obito was beaten up once again, but this time the situation was relatively better.

Perhaps his three years of training paid off, because at least he didn't break his hand again.

Why?

Blackie had absolutely no hope for Obito, but Obito himself couldn't accept it.

"Why is that woman so strong? Why is she able to be so strong? Why does she always stay by Uchiha Haori's side? Why?"

He recalled being brutally beaten by that woman, even though he had experienced it many years ago, and had been beaten even worse years ago.

But the situation remains the same, especially since that woman's words keep piercing his heart, making it even harder for him to accept.

Am I really that bad? Am I really no better than anyone else?

"Don't be discouraged. Just because he can't beat them now doesn't mean he can't in the future. Their eyes won't last forever."

Black Zetsu subconsciously offered Obito a word of comfort, but when he saw the look in Obito's eyes, he also found it difficult to remain composed.

It seems a bit inappropriate to continue using one's eyes to tell the truth. Over the years, Yuzhi and the others have never been stingy with their use of their eyes.

But now even Black Zetsu himself can't understand why these three people's eyes can still hold up even now?

Normally, shouldn't they be blind?

Did they really use Obito's arm?

Although Black Zetsu was filled with such speculations, he still needed to calm Obito down.

"You have to believe me. Just look at Uchiha Haori. You should know what kind of person he is. He's a guy who loves to show off."

Normally, he would use his strongest power, the fifth stage of Susanoo, to deal with Danzo. But what did he do?

"He only used the third stage of Susanoo."

"That's right, he couldn't hold on any longer, that's why he's like this!"

Seeing that Obito was still hesitant in his answer, Black Zetsu immediately made the final decision. Regardless of whether it was true or not, Obito needed this "yes" right now.

Black Zetsu knows Obito all too well; he should just go along with what this guy wants.

"It seems that's really the case."

Obito hesitated for a while, but after thinking about it for a long time, he gradually accepted Black Zetsu's idea after automatically ignoring the thought that "there is no need to deal with Danzo".

After all, Uchiha Haori, the thief who stole everything from her, is just a show-off!

Look at how much the entire Hidden Leaf Village is praising this guy now; he'll never miss an opportunity to show off.

"That's right, so you don't need to worry too much."

Seeing that Obito seemed to have calmed down, Black Zetsu nodded to himself. It was good that he was behaving himself; it would save him a lot of trouble.

"Besides, if I just hold on a little longer, I won't need to worry about Obito so much."

Black Zetsu muttered to himself, wondering whether this operation was meaningful to Obito, and whether he had truly figured out Haori's background.

But he knew one thing: he had achieved his goal, because he had found a suitable candidate!

"Uchiha Itachi."

Itachi Uchiha was essentially abandoned by the Uchiha clan, yet this guy already possessed the Sharingan with three tomoe at such a young age.

Black Zetsu even noticed that this guy's eyes seemed to be nearing their limit, and if he took another step forward, he would definitely be able to activate the Kaleidoscope!

Moreover, he was filled with hatred. If he made good use of this kid, would he be any worse than Obito?

"However, he is currently imprisoned, and it will take some effort to get him out, and..."

Black Zetsu glanced at Obito out of the corner of his eye. He was now seriously suspecting that Hagoromo and the others had used Hashirama Senju's cells or cells from Obito's arm to enhance themselves.

However, all of this needs to be thoroughly investigated, and if it is true, it further proves that Obito is a guy who is more trouble than he's worth!

Although he has always been, because of this incident, Black Zetsu will probably need to make some adjustments and plans.

"It seems you're really going to take control of this entire village this time?"

Walking back to the Uchiha clan, Hikaru glanced at Haori, who had a smile on her lips, and couldn't help but tilt her head and ask with amusement.

The "dividing the pot" meeting has ended, and what Minato and the others still have to say is no longer relevant to Hagoromo.

They had a busy day and naturally needed to go back and rest. However, they were well aware of the potential consequences of what had happened that day.

Even Hikaru, who has little interest in these messy things, seems to have seen a glimpse of Haori's future.

"Who knows? Although I really want to say that if I were to compete for the Hokage position now, it would probably be me whoever takes the crown, there are still some things we need to see."

Haori tilted his head, then, not caring that Shisui was still behind him, he reached out and took Hikari's hand.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you become Hokage or not, but becoming Hokage does make it easier to do certain things, such as fulfilling someone's wishes."

"I didn't force you to do it."

Guang raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips, but shook his head dismissively.

"Right? I seem to remember someone yelling at me and almost crying."

Yuzhi blinked and smiled as he spoke, but before he could finish, Hikaru grabbed his collar with one hand.

"Who are you talking about? Shouldn't you think carefully before you finish speaking?"

"Two seniors, there are people watching over us."

Seeing the two people in front of him acting so recklessly, Shisui felt somewhat embarrassed and could only helplessly offer a reminder.

But his heart was also boiling with excitement. He didn't think much about the past between Yuzhi and Hikaru. His mind was full of Naruto.

He really didn't think anyone in Konoha could challenge Yuki to compete for the Hokage title, which meant that the Uchiha were truly going to produce their own Hokage!

The Uchiha clan's desire to produce a Hokage is nothing new; this long-cherished wish has existed since the founding of Konoha.

However, for various reasons, this matter has never been successful, not even by Shisui's grandfather, Uchiha Kagami.

Now that he sees an opportunity, how could he not be excited?

Although nothing is certain yet, and even Yuzhi is keeping a low profile, he still can't suppress his excitement.

"Um?"

However, just as Haori and Hikaru were bickering and Shisui was pondering the matter of the Hokage, Shisui suddenly noticed Uchiha Mikoto waiting at the door of Haori's house.

"senior…"

Shisui knew why the former clan leader's wife had come, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He also felt regret about Uchiha Itachi's situation.

But everyone has to take responsibility for their own choices.

"Mikoto, you're here."

Haori led Hikaru over, and he smiled as he looked at Mikoto in front of him.

"Why did you come alone? Where's Sasuke?"

"Sasuke is at home. I asked Izumi to come and take care of him. With Izumi, Kimimaro, and Haku around, there won't be any problems."

Mikoto bowed slightly. She looked really tired. After all, Itachi Uchiha had caused such a big incident, which was hard for her to accept.

Although Itachi's transformation began quite early, she genuinely didn't have the energy to manage it, as she was pregnant with Sasuke at the time.

After Sasuke was born, Mikoto devoted most of her energy to the newborn child.

After all, Itachi Uchiha was already in school, while Sasuke really had no ability to take care of himself at all.

At that time, Mikoto had already noticed that Itachi Uchiha was acting strangely, and she had always wanted to have a good talk with her beloved son, but unfortunately Itachi Uchiha ignored her.

They would either say they needed to train or that they had more important things to do, their attitude was exactly the same as Fugaku Uchiha's, and there was absolutely no possibility of them communicating.

She truly never expected that Itachi Uchiha would reach such a state!

"Haori, Itachi's problem"

"Mikoto, I know why you came, but some things are not that simple."

Hearing Mikoto's words, Haori could only shake her head helplessly, but in her heart she wished that Itachi Uchiha would die sooner.

This guy is a menace. He originally thought that since this kid followed Danzo, he might be able to wipe out Danzo in the future, which would save him some trouble.

The "Night of Annihilation" he was looking forward to didn't happen, and he almost ended up with a "Night of Extermination" for himself?

Just how much does this kid hate this family?

Even though Yuzhi knew that this guy had long been trapped in his own world, only believing in his own judgment and not caring about other people's opinions, he was really beyond help when he was this extreme.

"Mikoto, you are actually a rational person, you should understand my difficulties."

Looking at Mikoto, who was bowing her head and remaining silent, Haori sighed softly before continuing to speak.

"You should have more important things to do, which is to take care of Sasuke. I regret what happened to Itachi Uchiha, but you have seen what he did."

If I hadn't discovered it beforehand and moved everyone around, have you ever thought about what he might have done? And have you ever considered what would have happened if I hadn't stopped their attack?

So what will become of the changes brought about by all of you, all of our people, and all our efforts?

Admittedly, Danzo is largely to blame, but did Itachi Uchiha never make his own judgments? Why did he prefer to trust outsiders rather than communicate with his own clan?

And why is he unwilling to look up and see the changes in the lives of those around him? He's always keeping his head down, lost in his own world. Does he really consider the Uchiha clan his home?

Yuzhi's words left Mikoto speechless. She knew that Itachi Uchiha had gone too far this time, and she even knew that she shouldn't have come to find Yuzhi at all.

But she is a mother after all, and regardless of whether she already knew the answer beforehand, she had to give it a try.

"Alright, stop thinking about him. Everyone has their own choices. At his age, we've already been on the battlefield. He knows what he's doing."

Seeing Mikoto like this, Yuzhi shook his head slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he continued to speak.

"I don't know exactly how to handle it, but I'll have Shisui interrogate him using illusion magic, so at least he won't be wrongly accused."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Mikoto nodded with some distress and helplessness, then looked up at Haori.

"You're right, I do have more important things to do now."

Perhaps I should apologize, since Itachi's current situation is largely due to my upbringing, and I should be more responsible for it.

But as a mother, I…

"Of course I understand. I never meant to blame you; it's only natural."

Yuzhi shook his head, thought for a moment, and then smiled and said.

"And please stop apologizing to me. There have been too many people apologizing to me today, so please stop saying things like that."

You are also a member of the family. You haven't lost everything. You still care about your family, and you still have Sasuke.

Similarly, you still have us; we're all family, aren't we?

Mikoto was taken aback by Haori's words, and then she felt a heavy weight in her heart.

Of course she knew about the changes in this family; she had witnessed these changes unfold. And looking at Yuzhi in front of her, she felt a complex mix of emotions.

Perhaps Yuri's demeanor towards her enemies is truly terrifying; even towards herself, she was either cruel or domineering.

But when Yuri truly considers you one of her own, as family, what she feels is completely different.

It was a kind of warmth, a kind of harmony.

Perhaps he was truly cruel, but it was a cruelty he had to bear for the sake of his clan and for everyone in the Uchiha clan.

She still has a lot to keep, and this family still has their children.

Such a haori is the most trustworthy!

"Yes, I understand."

Mikoto took a deep breath and then nodded seriously. As a member of the Uchiha clan, they were indeed family!

What Mikoto didn't notice was that Hikaru's gaze, which was being held by Haori, had changed slightly.

She felt like she'd heard those words before—

"I never expected to encounter something like this after waking up. Konoha is really a headache."

Under the hazy moonlight, in Tsunade's house, Tobirama Senju crossed his arms and spoke with some displeasure.

Tsunade, who was standing to the side, seemed not to have heard at all, and continued to look down at the arm that the haori had given her.

As the current head of the medical department, this matter was naturally left to Tsunade to study. However, she was somewhat annoyed that her great-uncle had come along.

Her house is never cleaned at all.

After returning to Konoha, Tsunade naturally went back to the old Senju residence, while her two disciples, Shizune and Rin, each had their own homes, so they separated.

However, the Senju clan of today is not the same as the Senju clan of the past; they no longer have as many clansmen and servants as before.

Tsunade was also heavily in debt, so she naturally couldn't hire any more employees. Besides, she was already quite busy with other things, so she simply didn't have time to sort things out.

Now the house is a bit messy, and she feels she made a mistake. She should have asked Lin and Jingyin to come and help clean it up.

Fortunately, Tobirama Senju only glanced around at the situation and did not directly question Tsunade, but looked at her strangely.

"By the way, Xiao Gang, you're not young anymore, how come I haven't seen a single man here?"

You might as well ask why your house is so messy!

Tsunade's fists hardened. She turned around and glared at her second grandfather before speaking unhappily.

"I just haven't met the right person yet. Aren't you the same? Why are you criticizing me?"

"you"

Tobirama Senju almost lost his composure upon hearing this, and he glared at Tsunade as he spoke.

"I've devoted myself entirely to Konoha. Besides, my brother already has offspring, so it doesn't matter to me. But you, why aren't you married yet?"

"The person I liked died, so what's there to say?"

Tsunade paused for a moment, then shook her head helplessly.

"He died because of the war, and we just haven't found a suitable replacement yet."

Upon hearing these words, Tobirama Senju fell silent, and after a long while, he sighed.

He never supported his older brother's decision to stop after establishing Konoha. At that time, Konoha had his older brother and Madara Uchiha, who could have easily swept across the entire ninja world.

He had foreseen the disastrous consequences of establishing separate villages long ago, and he absolutely supported Madara Uchiha's idea at the time!

Unfortunately, his only support for Madara Uchiha was opposed by his older brother, who turned out to be utterly wrong.

The war never stops because of the establishment of a village. On the contrary, the establishment of a village gives people more reasons to fight for the village, and the war will only continue to escalate.

Madara Uchiha saw this future, and so did he. It's just a pity that his older brother naively thought that he could use the tailed beasts to deter others and thus ensure lasting peace.

As a result, countless people lost their lives because of this.

"I'm sorry, if I had been more resolute back then, things might not have turned out this way."

Tobirama Senju remained silent for a long while before shaking his head helplessly.

"Never mind, it's not Grandpa's fault. And some things are not up to you to decide."

Tsunade glanced at her great-uncle, and in the end, she simply shook her head and said nothing more.

"Besides, now is not the time to think about these issues. Grandpa, look at this arm. I have a feeling there's something wrong with it."

"It's my older brother's cells, but some changes have been made to it."

Tobirama Senju didn't peek over to look; he just glanced at it and immediately gave his judgment. After all, if he had to say, he considered himself the number one person to research the power of Wood Release!

Unfortunately, he didn't know about Madara Uchiha.

"However, this change is very interesting. It seems that the person who made the change weakened the power of the big brother's cells, which allows many people to try to integrate."

I know exactly how they did it, but it's absolutely ingenious in its design and execution; you could even try it yourself.

At this point, Tobirama Senju paused for a moment before speaking softly.

"You need to think about yourself. You carry your elder brother's bloodline, and now the Uchiha have three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan. The Senju must respond in some way."

Although Konoha has now been established and everyone lives in peace, and with those three Uchiha members still around, I've heard they've completely integrated into Konoha.

But the Senju could never lose to the Uchiha!

Besides, Konoha needs to consider the Fifth Hokage now, shouldn't you try to get one?

Although Tobirama Senju had only been awakened for a short time, he had carefully assessed the current situation.

These things were either told by the Third Generation and others, or he witnessed them himself, so they are considered relatively credible.

To be honest, he was very satisfied that the Uchiha clan could truly integrate into Konoha, especially since the three of them, including Hagoromo, were so strong. This was definitely a good thing for Konoha!

However, when the Fourth Hokage was tricked by Danzo and a huge vacancy was created in the Hokage position, he couldn't help but start to think about it.

Would Xiaogang be an excellent choice?

Although she might not be as strong as those others, if she could awaken Wood Release using the modified Big Brother cells in this arm...

"I'm not interested."

To Tobirama Senju's astonishment, Tsunade simply shook her head.

"Whoever wants to be Hokage can be Hokage, I have no interest in it, at least not now."

Moreover, Danzo has caused so much trouble. If he were to anger Hagoromo and the others because of some personal desires at this moment, what would become of Konoha?

You've probably heard that idiot Jiraiya tell you how Hagoromo performed on the battlefield in Kumogakure, right?

That bastard, he's been wreaking havoc everywhere thanks to my Flying Thunder God Technique!

As Tobirama Senju recalled the descriptions given by the Third Hokage and others, he felt somewhat uneasy. He simply couldn't understand why an Uchiha would learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.

However, he misunderstood Tsunade's meaning. He thought she was going to steal the arm for Tsunade to use and ignore the Uchiha clan.

"We will naturally not provoke them; we will provide them with the same amount of research and resources they are entitled to."

But you also need to consider this, don't you? The Hokage position still needs to be filled. You...?

"I'm not interested. You might as well ask that idiot Jiraiya; maybe he'd be able to do it."

Tsunade had no desire to discuss the Hokage issue, and even now she still didn't dare to mention that her younger brother, Senju Nawaki, had died in the war.

Besides, she wasn't really interested in Naruto. In the original story, she agreed to the role partly because she was moved by Naruto's persistence, and partly because of her deep affection for Konoha Village.

Although the situation is different now, the thought that Naruto is like a curse still lingers in her mind.

Both of her Hokage grandfathers died, and her teacher, Minato, was also walking on thin ice as Hokage, but in the end, he was still brought down, wasn't he?

She has absolutely no ambition for becoming Hokage; she might as well just drift through life as she is now.

"you"

Tobirama Senju was also annoyed, but looking at Tsunade's expression, he decided it was best not to say anything.

He knew Tsunade's temper, and there was no point in saying anything now. Anyway, there was still time before the Hokage election, so he could try slowly.

But then he suddenly remembered Jiraiya, the one Tsunade had mentioned.

"Is Jiraiya the guy with the white hair from today? Is he your classmate?"

"Yes, and her personality is very similar to the teacher's."

When faced with her grandfather's question, Tsunade simply nodded. Both of them were lecherous idiots!

Is he married?

"No. Wait, what do you want?"

"I think I should get to know this guy."

Tobirama Senju didn't answer, but instead pinched his chin, while Tsunade's eyes turned dangerous.

"Want to really understand that guy? Then go to the hospital and find out!"

-

As the first rays of dawn illuminated the earth, the leaves seemed to return to tranquility once more.

However, everything that happened yesterday is still etched in everyone's hearts, and the impact of this event is far greater than anyone imagined.

This was the first time Konoha had encountered a true betrayal. Although all of this was shattered by the merciless iron fists of Yuzhi and the others, the rumors continued to fester.

Discussions about Minato and Danzo are increasing, even though people don't dare to say anything openly, they talk about it a lot in private.

Such discussions are not good for the current Hokage, or even for the Third Hokage, but Danzo has already aroused everyone's curiosity.

"Oh no, oh no, I'm going to be late!"

"Slow down."

At Minato's house, Naruto hurriedly ran out early in the morning, biting into a piece of bread, but he didn't forget to turn around and say something to his parents.

"It's Sasuke's birthday today, I need to get there early. And Mom and Dad, remember to come too!"

"You little rascal."

After watching Naruto hurriedly leave from the dining table, Minato smiled and spoke when he saw Kushina bringing up his breakfast.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kushina."

"Look at you, what time is it now? How come you still look so relaxed?"

When Kushina saw Minato like this, she couldn't help but frown.

She knew about what happened yesterday. Danzo had caused so much trouble and the rumors were spreading like wildfire, which made her very unhappy.

Didn't her husband, Minato Namikaze, contribute enough to Konoha? How dare that damned Danzo do this?

Furthermore, she didn't quite understand why Minato hadn't made a move. Although that guy was dead now, the consequences he brought were far too great!

Now that these things have come to light, the impact on Minato is unimaginable, but Minato seems so relaxed now, how is that possible?

"Is it easy?"

Minato paused for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

"Perhaps it's because I've figured some things out that I feel more relaxed."

"Have you thought it through?"

Kushina frowned, and suddenly she had a bad feeling.

"Minato, are you planning to...?"

"Yes, I plan to resign as Fourth Hokage. I already discussed this idea with the Third Hokage and the others last night."

Minato was actually quite conflicted about this matter, but once he made up his mind, he wouldn't change it.

He was busy until very late last night and didn't have a chance to tell Kushina and the others, but now that Kushina has asked, he won't hide it from her.

Seeing Kushina's bewildered and anxious expression, Minato smiled and then spoke.

"Don't worry, let me tell you my thoughts and some issues related to this matter, and perhaps you'll understand what I mean."

At this point, Minato began to explain in detail the impact of Danzo's actions and all the decisions he had made.

Although he seemed somewhat helpless and resentful while recounting these events, his mindset gradually calmed down as he spoke, and he returned to a relaxed state.

"is that so."

After he told Kushina all his thoughts, Kushina sighed silently.

"Damn Danzo, why did things turn out like this? And the one who should be most responsible for this is the Third Hokage, you really are something."

And Minato, are you really not going to try again? Are you really sure about this?"

"Yes, it's already decided."

Minato shook his head, stood up, walked to the window, and looked at Naruto's back as he smiled and said.

"Actually, I had already made up my mind. You know, Yuri told me a long time ago that I should kill Danzo, but I refused."

Perhaps my choice was right, because I wanted to make Konoha more stable and also wanted to fulfill the Third Hokage's long-cherished wish.

But this incident taught me that as Hokage, sometimes you really need to be decisive. I asked myself what I would do if I had to do it all over again.

Unfortunately, after thinking about it, I think I still won't take action. Maybe I'm really not suited to be Hokage.

"But you really can't blame yourself for this."

Kushina shook her head helplessly, but Minato didn't think too much about it and pulled Kushina into his arms.

"Alright, Kushina, this isn't so bad, at least I can see myself clearly now, right?"

Besides, after I became Hokage, I found that I had less and less time to take care of you and Naruto.

Everything in the family has fallen on your shoulders, even Naruto's education is entirely up to you, which is not fair to you.

Although I was very unwilling, when I finally let go, I suddenly realized what my true inner desires were.

Perhaps I really want to lead Konoha to become a better place. I have tried, worked hard, and done it, and it has been a wonderful experience for me.

Although I can no longer lead Konoha, I am still a Konoha ninja, and I will protect Konoha in my own way.

But similarly, I also need to focus my energy on other things, because…

At this point, Minato paused slightly, looked at Kushina in front of him, and then glanced at Naruto's receding figure. He suddenly laughed.

"I've said it before, you are a gift from God, Naruto, our creation."

You and Naruto are the people I cherish most right now!

Kushina listened quietly to Minato's words. After a while, she suddenly laughed and then leaned into Minato's arms.

"Alright, stop being so mushy. Hurry up and eat your breakfast. There's no Fifth Hokage yet, so you're still the Hokage."

"Finish eating quickly, then take care of the aftermath, and choose a good Fifth Hokage for Konoha!"

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Minato smiled and nodded, then ran back to the dining table and began to eat heartily. Kushina, watching Minato's behavior, couldn't help but think to herself.

"It seems like this isn't so bad, and it might even be better for our family."

While Minato and Kushina were chatting, in Itachi's cell in Konoha Prison, a black figure slowly emerged.

At Yuri's house, a figure dressed in ANBU attire gently knocked on the door.
