"To sum up, Minato believes that the impact of pushing the cause of the incident to the outside world is far better than telling the truth directly."
In a conference room in Hokage's office building, Kushina Uzumaki, dressed in black, was telling Third Hokage and two Konoha Advisor what happened last night in detail, and finally she explained how Minato Namikaze handled the incident.
"Although such an approach will appease Konoha internally and have a certain effect of sharing the same hatred with the enemy, but... it is likely to cause the war that has gradually subsided to revive again." Mitokado Homura said.
And more importantly...
"More importantly, Kushina, you should not spread such news while discussing with us."
Kushina Uzumaki's character is similar to Tsunade to a certain extent. Faced with such accusations, she said unceremoniously, "This is Fourth Hokage's last order."
Then she glanced at Third Hokage, and the implicit hint was undoubtedly that these two old guys were older.
Third Hokage took a few puffs of cigarette, and then said, "It is not easy to judge whether the impact of last night's incident is worse, whether it is an internal problem or an external problem. However, since Kushina has made such a decision, then the matter can only be handled in this way."
As expected, Third Hokage demonstrated the traditional artistic ability of "harmony". Fortunately, Kushina Uzumaki had already created a fait accompli in advance, otherwise I don't know what would have happened.
"So, does Minato really think that the masked man last night was Madara Uchiha?" Third Hokage asked.
"Space-Time Ninjutsu, who is familiar with Konoha's barrier, is not inferior to Minato, and is enough to control Nine-Tails's pupil power... Minato thinks That person is Madara Uchiha, and he believes that although the other party failed to capture Nine-Tails this time, Madara Uchiha will one day make a comeback." Kushina Uzumaki said.
"Impossible! Madara Uchiha was defeated by First Hokage, and the body was also transported back to Konoha, who was killed by the second generation..." Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu denied it in unison, explained in the same words, and then stopped in unison.
Madara Uchiha's body has been sliced and studied by Second Hokage, but for the sake of ancestors, they, their former disciples and subordinates, cannot arrange Second Hokage.
"Ahem, if you think about your age, it is impossible for Madara Uchiha to live to this day and age." Third Hokage said.
"But regardless of whether it is Madara Uchiha or not, the truth about the murderer can only be found out from Sharingan and Uchiha..." As he said, Third Hokage glanced at Kushina Uzumaki, and then added, "Secret investigation."
Third Hokage is equivalent to acquiescing to the handling method of Fourth Hokage. There is a saying Third Hokage actually said well. No one knows whether the consequences of identifying Kumogakure as the murderer are worse or identifying Uchiha as the murderer.
However, just after Third Hokage made his decision, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Shimura Danzō stepped in.
"What's the point of this hypocritical way of dealing with it? Since Uchiha and Sharingan caused the problem last night, is there any problem in holding Uchiha Clan responsible? Is there anything to hesitate about? Hiruzen, don't be too weak."
"..."
To be honest, Hokage and Konoha Advisor are meeting to decide the next course of action for Ninja Village. What does it have to do with you, the leader of the root? Do you have any say here?
However, Shimura Danzō just walked in like this, looking like he was ready to participate in the discussion... No, he should look like he was ready to lead the discussion.
It can be seen that the two Konoha Advisor and Shimura Danzō still have different ways of doing things. The two Konoha Advisor are characterized by being conservative. They think Konoha's original rules are good and perfect, and any action that violates the original rules is bad; but what about Shimura Danzō? Bad, insidious, and always trying to cause trouble. He feels that he is the wisest and smartest, and he makes the most correct decisions.
So after Shimura Danzō joined, the originally harmonious discussion immediately became tit for tat.
So in the end, Third Hokage had to use his own authority, "Danzo, now we can only deal with the problem in this way. This is Fourth Hokage's will and the policy recognized by Third Hokage. You can have opinions on this, but your opinions can only be reserved."
After the accidental death of Fourth Hokage, the supreme power of Konoha naturally returned to the hands of Third Hokage. Although for him, what he just said was quite rude, but as a top leader, it is actually still a little soft.
After Third Hokage said such words, Shimura Danzō had no choice but to shut up anyway, so the debate ended there. However, it is difficult to say that Third Hokage acted vigorously and resolutely. In fact, it was Kushina's first move that prompted Third Hokage to be resolute, otherwise Third Hokage was likely to fall into a state of "difficult choice syndrome".
Just when Danzo was a little unable to get off the stage, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.
"Lord Hokage, Chunin Yuhara are here."
"Come in."
So Yuhara, Chunin, stepped into the room full of Konoha bosses, and at this time he didn't know why Third Hokage summoned him.
"Lord Hokage."
Yuhara said hello. At this time, he was still on crutches, but he was fully dressed, and he also had his own ninja tool on his back.
After seeing the iron bump behind Yuhara, Shimura Danzō took a deep look at him.
Because Yuhara had contact with both Masked Man and Nine-Tails last night, Third Hokage and others actually summoned him to ask about the incident. However, since Kushina had already told the story very clearly, it was of little significance to ask Yuhara again.
After skipping the questioning process, Third Hokage said, "Yuhara, I have issued a hush order regarding Jinchuriki. This matter is absolutely prohibited from being disclosed to anyone. Can you understand?"
Yuhara nodded, "I understand, Lord Hokage."
The thing about Jinchuriki certainly does not refer to Kushina Uzumaki, but to the fact that his son Naruto Uzumaki has also become Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and Konoha owns two Jinchuriki. It should of course be top secret information.
There is nothing wrong with Yuhara's attitude. Third Hokage nodded, and then continued, "The second thing is, in view of your extraordinary performance last night, I think Chunin is an extremely inappropriate level for you, so here I use the Hokage command to make you a jounin."
As for Yuhara's performance last night, it does show that he is capable of becoming a Jonin. However, the problem is that this direct upgrade method is somewhat unconventional.
So someone immediately expressed their dissatisfaction, and Shimura Danzō said, "Hiruzen, this is against the rules. All appointments of jounin must go through strict assessment. Your method of directly appointing jounin will lead to the abuse of power, and you will make a very bad start..."
Regardless of Danzo's intention for saying this, there is actually nothing wrong with what he said. Hokage should indeed act in accordance with the rules, but...
Just listen to Kushina Uzumaki say, "Well, in addition to Chunin who passed the Jonin exam can become a Jonin, there is another benchmark... If anyone can defeat Nine-Tails with one move, then he can also become a Jonin."
Shimura Danzō stopped talking now. He realized the fact that it was difficult to prevent a ninja with Yuhara's strength from becoming a jounin.
Strength is the foundation, everything else is just tricks.
As for Yuhara, he is really suffering at this time. Please, how can he have the ability to knock down Nine-Tails with one move? He was clearly knocked down by Nine-Tails with one move before.
"Yuhara, accept the appointment." Third Hokage said.
Yuhara took a deep breath, "Yes, Lord Hokage."
In short, this can be considered as a wish. Even at this time, Yuhara's treatment is better than that of the savior. The Genin who saved the world did not directly jump from Genin to become a jounin, but Yuhara just kicked Obito and fed Nine-Tails a pill, and actually got the super promotion.
Well, this may be because the specific environment is different. At this time, Konoha is surrounded by strong enemies and needs more strong players to support the field; and after four Ninja World Wars, Konoha is already invincible.
After obtaining the status of Jonin and exiting the conference room, Kizuna came to Yuhara again and whispered in his ear, "Master Biwako Sarutobi has turned the corner."
Yuhara was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
From today on, his relationship with Mrs. Hokage and old Mrs. Hokage has become very good.
