When you first got me involved, you made up so many short stories for me, with all sorts of literary and martial arts things happening one after another, but I really can't write this kind of thing.
In the end, Hanzo led people to open up a road. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. The muddy land greatly hindered the travel of ordinary people.
The powerful summoned beast, the Salamander, was now pulling rocks or corroding some hard ground. Hanzo was practicing cutting techniques with water escape, looking like the foreman.
Nagato and Konan were also overwhelmed by other messy things, and young people had no experience in dealing with these things.
In the past, when the teacher was around, it could be done in no time. They thought it was just a simple signature, but it turns out there are too many tricks involved.
Hanzo can only manage ninjas, because ninjas' obedience and abilities are many times greater than those of ordinary people.
Just follow the simple instructions and wait for a good result.
But ordinary people think differently from ninjas. They worry about many things that seem meaningless to them.
The gap here always causes a hidden sense of resistance in the implementation of government orders. Even if they are living a miserable life, what if they are even more miserable after the change?
There are always such people in every world. The credibility of Akatsuki organization only grew during the two years of war and has not yet radiated to the entire country.
They are clearly incapable of managing the entire Rain Kingdom. It seems that even if power were really in their hands, they would not be able to use it, and many things are stuck here.
Noah’s return meant he was our savior, so we quickly went to invite him back to take charge of the work.
"You guys..."
Akatsuki held a brief meeting, and Noah felt deeply that Akatsuki was short of manpower.
There are too few talented people. When will Obito and Danzo be able to show some strength?
Akatsuki is short of people.
The Akatsuki organization was operating with difficulty in the Rain Land, Obito was still waiting for an opportunity in the Ninja World, and Konoha Village had also undergone significant changes at this time.
Even though his power was restrained by the Council of Elders, Minato Namikaze still grew in the cracks.
Being able to become a disciple of the Three Ninjas from a common ninja, and being able to win the heart of the person he likes since childhood, Minato Namikaze's talent is reflected in all aspects.
The Fourth Hokage didn't go to the Ninja School very often, and it seemed that the Third Hokage was more sensitive about this matter. However, the funding for education was gradually increasing, and the assessment of teachers was more cautious.
This made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel particularly comfortable and felt that he had not chosen the wrong successor.
The Sandaime hasn't completely let go at this time. There is fear, reluctance, and a strong desire to continue contributing his abilities to Konoha.
Namikaze Minato took full account of the feelings of his senior Kage and often praised many of the strategies he used during his time with Hiruzen.
For example, medical ninja, for example, the will of fire.
Therefore, the previous and next generations of Hokage got along very well, and with the support of the Third Hokage, the time for him to obtain full authority was constantly advancing.
He did not drastically reduce the rights of Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, but instead stripped them away slowly.
Only Danzo took drastic measures. All experimental plans related to the tailed beasts were deleted, human experiments were directly shut down, and even many positions in the Shimura clan were removed.
Danzo was furious but helpless. He could only keep moving out at the risk of being robbed by the evil hand.
Without much substantial support from the other three elders, he really couldn't defeat the current Hokage.
This simple differentiated straight hair works very well, and it seems that Konoha is transitioning in a very smooth manner.
In terms of ability and emotional intelligence, he is truly among the top Hokage of all time.
He also usually makes a point of walking around the village, and each time he does so he always gains quite a bit of popularity, and it is also a very obvious move for the promotion of civilian ninjas.
They are not restrained by the families behind them, so they can choose to stand in line more decisively.
At least there are already many Chunin level people who are firmly following the Fourth Hokage.
The large ninja clans were also moving closer to him in order to express their loyalty, but their methods were rather reserved, and Minato was also constantly accepting their allegiance.
At this moment, he had already begun discussing with Fugaku, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, the matter of arranging candidates for the Anbu.
"Isn't Shisui too young?"
"It's okay. I've experienced war and I believe in Shisui's abilities."
Minato's smiling method of promoting Uchiha's integration, being directly under the Anbu is a sign of trust.
Fugaku also felt relieved that the Uchiha finally returned to the village.
Finally, the two of them briefly discussed the issue of caring for pregnant women.
The birth boom after the war also happened in Konoha. Kushina has been confirmed to be pregnant, and the joy of this has made Minato's face full of smiles recently.
The birth of a new life...
When Fugaku walked out of the Hokage Building, he happened to pass by Kakashi who had returned to hand in a mission.
It seems... that foreigner with the Sharingan is a little different.
Inside the Hokage's office.
"Kakashi, is there anything different about the Rain Country?"
Chapter 40: There is no problem in the Rain Country
Minato Namikaze had just seen off the Uchiha clan leader and then continued to deal with Anbu matters.
In addition to changing a group of people, the style of doing things also needs to change.
Finding a new ANBU chief was a priority, the Sandaime had enough manpower, but it was normal for the new Hokage to support his own cronies.
For example, he also needs to consider the candidates for his own Hokage guards.
Although Minato Namikaze does not think that there is anyone in Konoha who can protect him now, he basically has nothing to fear when he has no worries once he activates Flying Thunder God, but the rules still need to be followed.
The original duty of the Shadow Guard created by the Second Hokage was to train strong men, but starting from the Third Hokage, it was basically a form of showing the majesty of the Hokage. The Fourth Hokage followed the tradition of the Third Hokage.
Shiranui Genma, the same foot, Diewashi... Although their strength is average, their loyalty is guaranteed.
It would be nice if we let them form a small team, which would take care of the civilian ninjas while also liberating the village's combat power.
That's right, when Namikaze Minato considered the strength of the Shadow Guard, he chose them from among the not-so-powerful ninjas.
The roster was deliberately chosen to contain ordinary ninjas without any bloodstains, and their potential can basically be seen at a glance.
Shiranui Genma, a special jonin. The same as him, a special jonin, and Diwashi is even a chunin.
The above information is their information more than ten years later, but there is basically no change in their positions and abilities.
The Fourth Hokage still had a sharp eye, and more than a decade later, these three were still famous among the Konoha ninjas for their Flying Thunder God Formation.
This team currently plays almost no key role in the outside world.
Other powerful jonin are needed to carry out missions outside or defend against enemy forces, so it would be a waste to use them to protect himself.
Kakashi returned when he was checking to see if there were any special jonin that Konoha hadn't arranged for.
After all, he was his disciple, so the Fourth Hokage asked Kakashi to report to the Hokage's office first.
As a result, the moment he saw his disciple, Minato Namikaze noticed something different. It seemed that the haze on the boy had been dispelled a little.
The young man's anger began to rise slowly. It turned out to be a correct choice to go on a long journey to carry out a mission and improve his mood.
"Kakashi, how did the mission go?"
"The mission target has been successfully delivered to the Rain Country."
"So what's the situation in the Rain Country? Have the Rain Ninjas given you any trouble?"
Minato was still very curious about the situation in the Rain Country. He officially rose to prominence during the five or six years of the Third World War.
He had been to almost all the frontal battlefields in other countries, but the Rain Country, the site of three wars, happened to be something he had never been to.
And Hanzo of the Salamander is a strong man that Jiraiya rarely describes to his disciples. After all, it is indeed shameful to fight three against one and lose.
A few years ago, the Sannin was still a slightly insulting title.
It was only recently that Jiraiya brought a Rain Ninja apprentice sister to the Fourth Hokage, which made him a little curious about the Rain Ninja.
It is said that there are two more junior fellow apprentices in the Land of Rain. I don’t know if Kakashi has met them.
Kakashi was about to answer about what he saw and heard in a foreign country when he suddenly remembered what Mr. Adam had said to him before he left.
Sometimes the saying that it is a disaster for a small country to even bear the attention of a big country, as well as the content such as the compensation given by the top leaders to themselves, suddenly got a bit stuck.
In a mere rain country, farming and studying wouldn't be much of a change.
Kakashi, who had done a lot of psychological preparation, blurted it out for some unknown reason.
"The Rain Country is just normal, nothing special. The rainy weather has been going on for a long time."
After he finished speaking, he regretted why his heart was influenced by a person from another village. It didn't seem appropriate to change his words now.
Minato also understood the concise answer. He didn't expect Kakashi to see anything, as the small country has been the same for so many years.
Resources limit their development, and a real dragon cannot be raised in shallow water. The Salamander Hanzo is an outlier in the ninja world, and the operation of implanting the poison sac into the body is also very impressive.
"You seem to be a little better now. By the way, Kakashi, would you consider joining the ANBU?"
"Anbu?"
Kakashi didn't expect to get this answer in the end. In the past, he didn't care whether to go to the Anbu or anywhere else, but after listening to Noah's story, he inexplicably wanted to think about something seriously.
So he didn't agree immediately, but Minato was such a smart man.
Seeing that Kakashi had other ideas, he changed his words again, fearing that he would burden his disciple.
"It's my fault. I just finished my mission and should go back to rest. If you want to join the Anbu in the future, feel free to come find me."
"Yes."
"Kakashi."
"Ok?"
"Go check on Kushina more often when you have time. She's worried about you."
Namikaze Minato believed that the birth of a new life had magical power, and he hoped that his only disciple could truly get out of it with the help of this emotion.
To be honest, Minato Namikaze was not a bad person to Kakashi.
This is also because he is the most promising one among the next generation of Konoha.
The other ninjas either died in the Third Ninja World War, or those who survived were not as talented as Kakashi.
So if Kakashi can come out and understand the meaning of fire, then he may very likely be the next Hokage.
After all, he is the only disciple of the current Hokage, so it is a bit risky to choose him from outside.
Perhaps the child named Shisui from the Uchiha family is also a good choice, but the Uchiha surname is the biggest obstacle.
The current situation in Konoha does not allow a member of a large family to become Hokage, as that would be too unbalanced in terms of power.
Not only other ninja clans were unwilling, but even civilians were unwilling.
As for the Uchiha, the two sides can even join forces to exclude this arrogant family. This is the current situation in Konoha Village.
Maybe in another ten or twenty years, if the ninja's voice changes, there may not be such great resistance.
Of course, at that time at least the third generation would have to be dead, what if they could survive?
Kakashi left the Hokage Building and walked quickly back home. Even returning to Konoha Village did not give him the sense of security he wanted.
He washed off the dust and knelt before his father's shrine.
"I am back."
He picked up the broken White Fang blade from the altar, and felt a little suffocated when he saw the broken sword that no longer had any luster.
He casually swung a few swords in the air, but they were not fast enough, steady enough, or fierce enough.
It is no different from a kunai, except that it is slightly stronger in chakra conduction. Using it this way is an insult to the reputation of this sword.
How can I wield this sword without cutting off the enemy's will? Perhaps I am just a coward when it comes to kendo.
You can't protect what you want to protect, and you can't cut off what you want to cut off.
But is this really a question of putting down the knife?
You remembered that when he put down the dagger, he planned to use Obito's eye to carry on his will, but in the end he still failed to protect anyone.
