"Don't overthink things during the day," Minato said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, I'm a Konoha ninja."
Kaze patted his shoulder, a smile appearing on his somewhat haggard face.
Hearing him say this, Minato secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In any case, Sarutobi Hiruzen was a hero of this operation. If he were to be suspected or even shelved for some reason, it would be a blow to the Konoha ninjas in the Land of Hot Water.
But now it seems that Sarutobi Hiruzen's awareness is very good.
"That's right, and with your current strength, Hiruzen, I might not even be your match."
That's a bit much.
Kaze still knew his own limits. With just the strength of the Third Kazekage puppet, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat Namikaze Minato.
He was the one who used the Flying Thunder God Technique to break through Sasori's use of the Third Kazekage puppet's Iron Sand.
"Minato, don't flatter me. I can't handle the Flying Thunder God Technique," Kaze waved his hands repeatedly.
Minato smiled and didn't say much. He was a humble person.
"Minato, let me ask you a question. It might be a bit abrupt, and you don't have to answer," Kaze asked.
"Oh?"
Kaze leaned closer to him and whispered, "Minato, do you want to become Hokage?"
Hearing this, Minato was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head a little embarrassed. "I guess most of the Konoha ninjas aim to become Hokage, right?"
"You know that's not what I mean." Kaze's expression became meaningful.
Minato pursed his lips and put away his smile. He understood what Kaze meant.
He was talking about the current competition for the position of Hokage. Signs of it had already appeared in Konoha, or rather, they had appeared even before Konoha White Fang died.
After a slight silence, he finally nodded.
If he could become Hokage, who wouldn't want to?
"What about you, Hiruzen?" Minato asked in return.
"Me? I'll support you," Kaze said directly.
"Huh?" Minato was stunned.
The Hokage position isn't a good one. If Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't die, one's actions will be restricted.
And if Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't die, it will be difficult to get rid of Danzo, and the remaining elders will be the same.
This kind of troublesome thing is more suitable for Namikaze Minato.

PS: Let me say something. It will be on the shelves on August 1st. Theoretically, it should be able to explode with 20 updates. I hope everyone will give some support, thank you.
Chapter 123: Dear Nephew
"Konoha ah......"
Standing outside Konoha, Kaze looked at the tall Konoha gate.
During the war, the village's defenses were also quite well done. It went through four checks in total from the Land of Hot Water back to the village entrance.
To be honest, Kaze didn't have much of a feeling for Konoha. At most, it was the not-too-bad impression of Konoha in the anime.
Mixed reputation is Kaze's fair evaluation of Konoha.
The praise refers to the period from the beginning of Konoha's founding to the end of World War II, when Konoha successfully withstood pressure from all sides, and the appearance of heroes who shook the ninja world one by one.
The destruction, needless to say, is Sarutobi Hiruzen's almost absurd acquiescence to the leader of the Root after his old age, which led to Konoha experiencing too many twists and turns.
But no matter what, Konoha is currently the most suitable place for him to stay.
In order to stay here, and to stay here peacefully, Kaze had to make some preparations.
He took a deep breath.
After the last check at the gate, Kaze, disguised as Sarutobi Hiruzen, entered Konoha.
It could be clearly felt that the entire Konoha street had become somewhat empty, lacking a lot of vitality.
Although the war did not affect the village thanks to the efforts of the Konoha ninjas.
However, the emergence of the war still greatly affected the lives of ordinary residents, and the residents were also very concerned about the front-line battle situation.
To this end, Sarutobi Hiruzen set up a bulletin board under the Hokage Building, and often posted some front-line battle reports on the bulletin board for the Konoha residents to understand.
However, in order to prevent unnecessary panic, most of the published battle reports were relatively positive ones.
Kaze walked on the street and could clearly feel some doubtful and curious gazes falling on him.
Just when he was puzzled, a cute little girl of about four or five years old, with slightly staggering steps, ran up to him shyly.
"Excuse me... are you Sarutobi Hiruzen-sama?"
Her flickering eyes were full of agility.
"Uh... I guess so." Kaze squatted down and gently rubbed her little head.
"It's Hiruzen-sama!"
Suddenly, the little girl shouted towards the entire street.
Immediately afterwards, many people came out of the houses beside the street, looking at Kaze with respect, enthusiasm, and a trace of awe.
"Hiruzen-sama! Thank you for your contribution in the Sakamoto battle! My husband was able to survive." The speaker was a woman, holding the little girl just now, her face flushed, looking a little excited.
"Hiruzen-sama! Thank you, thank you, for avenging my son!" This time it was an old woman, wiping her tears as she spoke.
"Hiruzen-sama! You are a hero of Konoha. I will also become a ninja like you in the future to protect everyone and protect the village!" A little boy clenched his fists, looking excited.
"Hiruzen-sama......"
"Hiruzen-sama......."
Kaze was surrounded, and everyone was talking about their gratitude.
