After Third Hokage and Jiraiya separated, they slowly returned to Hokage Building with heavy steps alone.
The night is as dark as ink, and the outline of the building looks particularly lonely under the Moonlight Clan.
He pushed open the door of the office. The lights inside were dim, as if even the air had solidified.
He sighed softly and lit a cigarette. The weak Kakkō danced in the darkness, and the smoke was filled with smoke, just like the heavy thoughts in his heart.
The sudden betrayal of Minato and Jiraiya caught him off guard. Their behavior disrupted all his plans and put him in a dilemma.
However, even Jiraiya stood on his opposite side, which made him reflect on whether his views on Uchiha Iori were affected by prejudice.
He sat at his desk, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously, deep in thought.
In the eyes of Second Hokage and him, Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan has always been an unstable factor.
Not only will Mangekyō Sharingan be turned on, Uchiha Clan will give birth to a very powerful shadow-level ninja, breaking the balance of strength.
It is also because of the extreme situation when Mangekyō Sharingan opens its eyes that most of the holders are mentally paranoid and can easily become a hidden thunder. This is an important reason why the village has always been wary of Uchiha.
However, when Third Hokage thought of his friend Kagami Uchiha, his heart softened again. Uchiha was not all crazy, there were always some good people or even saints.
If Iori is really not carried away by Mangekyo, then Uchiha Clan might be able to truly integrate into Konoha this time.
His eyes shone with a complex light in the dim light, hope and doubt intertwined, and he struggled repeatedly.
Because Iori is active, Konoha's losses from Third Shinobi World War are not that big, and Third Hokage does not have to take the blame and resign, but if this delays the time, it will actually benefit Iori.
We cannot let Uchiha become Hokage. This is the final bottom line for Third Hokage.
Third Hokage took a deep breath of the cigarette, and then slowly exhaled it. The smoke slowly spread in the air, just like the thoughts in his heart, gradually became clear.
When the smoke dissipated, the struggle in his eyes also dissipated. Since Minato has been chosen as his successor, he can only believe in him.
"Minato, I hope you will be the same this time as in the past and will not let me down!" Third Hokage muttered to himself, but finally chose to give up and let Minato decide the future.
The first ray of sunlight in the morning filtered through the gap in the curtains and gently fell on Kushina's face.
Kushina got up early and started busy preparing breakfast with skillful movements.
Minato As a wife slave, naturally she will not let her work hard alone and join her. The two of them cooperate tacitly in the kitchen, and the air is filled with the aroma of food and the warmth of home.
Since Minato Namikaze came back, the number of Anbu personnel monitoring Kushina has been reduced to a minimum, making her feel free and relaxed for a long time.
Although as Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she has long been accustomed to being monitored by Anbu, but no one likes this feeling of being monitored.
If Nine-Tails was not quickly defeated by Minato after going berserk in the past, it proves that Minato has the ability to quickly control Nine-Tails.
Otherwise, even if Minato comes, the monitored Anbu will not change much.
Hokage must be responsible for the village. No matter who he is, he must be treated equally. Nine-Tails is too dangerous. No matter who is Jinchuriki, no one can escape the surveillance of Fate.
This is the reason why Minato must become Hokage. It is not only a childhood dream, but also a realistic consideration.
Only Hokage can decide Jinchuriki's future, and Minato cannot place his wife's safety on others.
After eating breakfast, Kushina took Minato on the road to the Senju Clan land.
Since Mito Uzumaki passed away, she rarely sets foot there again.
Mito Uzumaki's death and Tsunade's long absence from the village have made the place once full of family love become strange.
In her heart, she prefers to be with Minato and Minato's disciples, that is her new destination.
However, when Kushina thought of Obito, her mood couldn't help but feel depressed again.
Minato was keenly aware of this, reached out and held her hand to give her support.
After crossing the street, Kushina suddenly stopped and looked at everything in front of him in surprise.
After not having set foot in it for just a few months, Senju Clan's clan had changed beyond recognition, completely different from the deserted place in her memory.
The streets that used to be empty are now filled with the sound of people, and countless ninjas are busy shuttling through the clan area, like a vibrant hive.
Minato and Kushina looked at the busy Tsunade, a little embarrassed to interrupt.
Tsunade was keenly aware of the sight. She raised her head and looked at Kushina and Minato standing at the gate of the clan.
She smiled slightly, handed over the task at hand to the ninja beside her, and walked towards them.
Kushina watched Tsunade approaching and couldn't help but asked curiously, "What happened? Why are there so many people in the clan suddenly."
Tsunade's brows wrinkled slightly, looking a little irritated.
She explained, "I plan to reorganize Senju Clan. Originally, I didn't plan to gather so many people. But after I raised my banner, many branches that left back then wanted to come back."
"In the past, some tribesmen did not live well after leaving. Now that Senju Clan has reorganized, they want to come back. It is impossible for me to push them out."
In the past, not all of the ninjas who remained anonymous due to Second Hokage's policies were willing. Some simply didn't have the courage to stay.
After Tsunade chose to reorganize Senju Clan, these people returned to Senju Clan Compound with great enthusiasm.
Tsunade and several Senju jounin are working overtime to check the information of the ninjas who left. Some of them have died in the battlefield, leaving only their children.
In the past, it was okay if there was no Senju, but now that Senju Clan has been reorganized, it can no longer sit idly by.
Kushina looked at the busy Senju crowd, feeling a little embarrassed, and said softly, "Then I will come back to you in a few days."
Tsunade waved his hand, indicating to Kushina that it would be okay to just say it.
Kushina took a deep breath and slowly stated the purpose of this trip. "Minato's disciple Obito Uchiha died in Kannabi Bridge, and one of his eyes was given to Kakashi before his death."
"Although we asked Uchiha Iori to mediate, we are still worried about the Uchiha Clan's attitude, so we came to talk to sister Tsunade."
Hearing this, Tsunade showed a smile on his face, "You don't know, right? Iori is now the patriarch of Uchiha."
Although the news that Iori became the clan leader is no longer a secret, Minato has just returned from the front line, and Kushina doesn't have many friends, so they don't know the news yet.
Tsunade continued, "He is very curious about Sealing Jutsu. If you want, you can take Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu to visit him."
"You can exchange some essentials of using Sharingan with him. As a foreigner, Kakashi may need these methods to reduce his burden."
Kushina asked with some concern, "Is he also willing to give the essence of Sharingan? Isn't he worried that this will encourage the trend of Sharingan transplantation?"
A sharp light flashed in Tsunade's eyes, and she replied calmly, "He doesn't care. If someone dares to do this, kill his entire family. If you kill a few more, no one will dare."
"As for methods such as deception, he has his own way to determine it."
