"It was really lively. Hopefully, everything would go smoothly."
Hikaru took a small sip of wine and sighed.
Beside him, Namikaze Minato asked curiously, "Sensei, why didn't you accept the Hokage Lord's position? And you're absent from this Allied Forces operation too. Could some truly powerful enemy really appear?"
At this point, Namikaze Minato was still somewhat immature. He had been assigned under Hatake Sakumo to lead a small division into battle. But this so-called small division consisted of a full three thousand men, which was already quite a test for Namikaze Minato.
"Why should I take over the Third Elder's job?" Hikaru blinked and said solemnly, "Didn't you see how carefree and imposing the Third Elder was as the Allied Forces' Commander-in-Chief? Commanding an army of a hundred thousand shinobi, tsk tsk, that kind of treatment is something others couldn't get even after cultivating blessings for several lifetimes."
"..." Namikaze Minato opened his mouth, feeling utterly speechless. Still, he complained inwardly, If it were you, Sensei, you could stand in that position too. You were the one who gave everything up, weren't you?
"Enough idle chatter. Since you've been given this opportunity, make the most of it. The others are all getting old. This is an opportunity for you. Nawaki Senju has his own issues. Do you understand what I mean?"
Namikaze Minato froze for a moment, blinked, then hurriedly shook his head.
"Get lost!!!" Hikaru slapped him irritably and said in exasperation, "I've made it this clear, and you're still pretending to be dumb? Go lead your troops properly. If you don't make a name for yourself in this war, I'll kick you with my big foot!!!"
Namikaze Minato should have shone brilliantly in the Third Ninja War, but unfortunately, Akatsuki's plans had caused the Third Ninja War
