Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

"Minato-sensei."

After the conversation, which was so solemn that it didn't look like a party at all, Hatake Kakashi stood next to Namikaze Minato, watching Jiraiya's figure gradually disappear into the spacious streets of Konoha, his mood seemed a little unstable. asked:

"Jiraiya-sama...could it be that when he was investigating the 'Gen' matter, those two people used genjutsu? It was Nagato, the leader of 'Akatsuki', and the one who was the leader of Akatsuki when he was still in the village. Uchiha Shisui, who is famous for his talent in illusions..."

"Unfortunately, although Mr. Jiraiya is not good at using illusions, as a sage who possesses magic, he is still very powerful in fighting illusions. In this era, it is almost impossible for anyone to use illusions to tamper silently. His cognition and thought.”

Namikaze Minato shook his head and sighed, with a rare solemnity and solemnity on his handsome face, "Furthermore, according to the information Jiraiya-sensei obtained from Sunagakure, a series of events launched by the 'Root' organization The actions and motives do seem very suspicious. It is not unusual for Jiraiya-sensei to make such speculation based on the available information."

"...But this eye is just a 'gift' that Obito entrusted to me before he died in the battle. It's just a three-magatama Sharingan. What is there that is worthy of others' peeps?"

Kakashi Hatake raised his hand and touched his left eye with a complicated look on his face. The feeling as if he was standing side by side with his best friend Uchiha Obito slowly calmed down his agitated mood and said with something like After the anger burned out, he fell into an endless emptiness and muttered to himself.

"Sa, who knows? If we can figure this out, the distance between the Root organization and us won't be too far."

Namikaze Minato was also very curious about this. After standing with Kakashi in the evening breeze for a while, he turned his head, looked at his disciple's side face and asked:

"Feeling stressed, Kakashi?"

"It can't be possible, Minato-sensei."

Even with half of his face covered by a mask, Kakashi Hatake's dejected expression was obvious, "Among the people who were attacked and killed this time, there were several seniors at the elite Jonin level who were far more powerful than me. The only member of the 'Root' organization who faced off against the investigation team, Red Sand Scorpion, was also a monster with the power to single-handedly kill a village of shadows...

When I think that the Sharingan that Obito entrusted to me was actually targeted by such a dangerous group of people, I can't help but worry. How can a person like me really guard my companions and what they leave behind for me? something? "

"Why do you always think about protecting something with one person's strength, Kakashi?" Namikaze Minato gently put his hand on his disciple's head, and his strong and warm palm truly gave someone a peace of mind. The belief passed on, "You are a ninja of Konoha. When you want to protect something, the entire Konoha will be the power you can borrow, right?"

"...But I'm not the only one in Konoha, Minato-sensei." Kakashi Hatake's mood was still low, "When everyone needs to use the power of the village to protect something, there will always be someone who is in trouble for various reasons. He was unable to get help for such reasons, and ultimately lost what he wanted to protect... Obito walked like this, and Lin also walked like this, right?"

"Kakashi..."

Namikaze Minato wanted to say something to comfort Hatake Kakashi, but when he thought of the passing of Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin, the words of comfort were on his lips, but he couldn't say it.

In the battle of Kannabi Bridge, he arrived at the last moment and rescued Hatake Kakashi and Nohara Rin who were surrounded by Iwagakure's Jonin.

But when Nohara Rin was taken away by Kirigakure and made into a three-tailed Jinchuuriki, and finally fell to death under Hatake Kakashi's Raikiri, neither the teacher nor the other ninjas in Konoha gave him any advice. Kakashi Hatake provided even a little help, and even now, how Kakashi Hatake escaped from the siege of Kirigakure is still a mystery full of questions.

Under such circumstances, I told Kakashi Hatake that the village could lend you its power to help you protect the things you want to protect. It was really a lack of consideration.

"Sorry, Minato-sensei, you have to hear some unpleasant and frustrating words again," Hatake Kakashi pulled down his forehead protector and hid the Sharingan given to him by Uchiha Obito. He walked into the darkness, then bowed slightly to Namikaze Minato, and said in a low voice: "If there is nothing else, I will go back first... I just heard this kind of news, Kushina-sama should also be very happy I need some help from you, teacher."

"Safe travels."

"Um."

Minato Namikaze looked at Kakashi Hatake with a complicated expression and left the door of his home. He exhaled a long breath. Just as he was about to turn around and enter the house, he saw Kushina Uzumaki leaning against her at some point. He walked into the entrance hall and was looking at himself with a pair of rare and gentle eyes.

"Kushina...when did it start?"

"Probably somewhere in the middle, when you and Kakashi change the topic to the second stage."

Uzumaki Kushina touched her belly, slowly walked to Namikaze Minato, stood side by side with him, and looked at the stars in the sky.

"You are really in trouble as the Hokage, Minato."

"No matter which senior Hokage you are, you will face many problems when you come to power," Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly, shook his head, and listed them all:

"When the first Hokage established the Leaf Village, no one knew how to make the new model of Ninja Village acceptable to everyone, and could only grope forward in the darkness of the Warring States Period; soon after the second Hokage took over, the first The Sub-ninja World War officially broke out; the Third Hokage was even appointed to the position of Hokage by the Second Hokage who was about to die in the battle when he was being chased by the enemy...

In comparison, my start was already very peaceful. It was not until two years after I became Hokage that a crisis emerged that posed a huge threat to the village... In this case, as Hokage, I couldn't He complained that his tenure was really disastrous. "

"Oh, I just like the way you always make people feel at ease."

Kushina took Minato Namikaze's arm and put part of her weight on him. Then she raised her finger and pointed in the direction of the Uchiha clan and asked in a low voice:

"Then, about Uchiha Shisui, do you want to tell the people of the Uchiha clan clearly soon?"

"I haven't thought about it yet."

Namikaze Minato supported Kushina's body and sighed: "For the people of the Uchiha clan, they probably cannot accept that a genius like Uchiha Shisui, who they are proud of, chose to betray Konoha and The fact that the family has taken refuge in Kirigakure, once the news comes out, the factional struggle within them will probably become intense and white-hot.

But Uchiha Shisui has already reached the position of Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Obviously, this matter cannot be hidden for too long. If it is exposed by someone with intentions at an inappropriate time, the Uchiha clan's influence in Konoha will be greatly reduced. The status will be impacted like never before, and it may even lead to the distrust of the whole village towards the Uchiha clan similar to when Uchiha Madara led the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha. "

"Then, how about just telling Fugaku alone?" Uzumaki Kushina thought for a while and gave a suggestion that was not very constructive, "If it were him, he should be able to grasp when to release the news. Bar?"

"...Uchiha Shisui was forcibly taken away by Kaguya Rei in front of Fugaku. If the fact that Shisui betrayed was left to Fugaku alone, it would be too painful for him. ”

Namikaze Minato shook his head and rejected this proposal, which was too heavy for him personally, and sighed with a troubled expression:

"It's a pity that at this time, it would be great if we could rely on Nara Shikaku's wisdom... But with his character, it is impossible to hide this kind of thing from the Third Generation and the two Hokage advisors. If they also intervene, The problem is about to become more troublesome..."

"Jiraiya-sensei, you really brought me a very difficult problem."

"But you will find a way to solve it, right, Minato?" Uzumaki Kushina confidently poked Namikaze Minato's lower back and asked with bright eyes.

"Do your best."

It was very rare that Namikaze Minato didn't make a promise that he would definitely fulfill.

Because this time, his opponent is no longer an enemy from outside the village who can be defeated as long as he kills without hesitation, but he has fought side by side to protect Konoha, contributed to the construction of Konoha together, and even smiles every day when they meet Say hello to companions.

The yellow flash can eliminate all enemies on the battlefield in an instant, but it cannot instantly break through the prejudices and conflicts in the hearts of the companions.

"And this will be the reason for your defeat, Minato-sensei."

Uchiha Obito and White Zetsu's clones stood on a mountain where the lights of Konoha could be seen in the distance. He gently threw a scroll in his hand and asked White Zetsu next to him:

"How about it? Can the sneak channels reserved by those at Root still be used normally?"

"Of course, they are one of the important components of Konoha's defense system. On the premise that Konoha has not significantly changed its defense system, trying to sneak into Konoha is like walking on a deserted road in the early morning. Simple."

"Then, let's find an opportunity and let the ninjas from the 'root' department throw in the latest information about Uchiha Shisui... We have to make Konoha itself chaotic first, so that we can better hide our purpose."

"yes."

I vomited, I ate the wrong thing today, and I kept running to the toilet...

I may have to wait until the second chapter is released first and then change it.
