Chapter 153 The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze
The Battle of Kikyo Mountain finally came to an end, with Konoha successfully repelling the combined attack of the four great ninja villages.
But by this point, Konoha had revealed all its trump cards. It could be said that Konoha had few secrets left in front of the four great ninja villages.
All parties returned to their own countries, but some people's ambitions did not subside, such as those of the Hidden Cloud Village.
During the battle at Kikyo Mountain, they witnessed the formidable strength displayed by the various bloodline clans of Konoha, which made Kumogakure extremely envious.
You should know that the Hidden Cloud Village has always coveted these ninjas with powerful bloodline abilities.
However, after this battle, they won't have any other thoughts for a while.
After the battle ended, the Third Hokage took full responsibility in the Konoha plaza. After all, it was not a glorious thing to let others attack on their doorstep. Even though they had won the battle, someone still needed to take the main responsibility.
And this person can only be the Third Hokage, because if it were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to shoulder such a huge burden, and they wouldn't be able to get rid of it even if they wanted to.
After apologizing to all the villagers of Konoha, the Third Hokage resigned, officially handing over the position to the new Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
A new Hokage has appeared. This Fourth Hokage is well-deserved, and both the major clans and ordinary villagers are very satisfied with him.
It can be said that Watergate won everyone's trust.
Of course, there was one exception: Danzo.
Leaves, roots.
"Damn Hiruzen Sarutobi! He'd rather pass the Hokage position to that spineless brat Minato Namikaze than give it to me! He's so despicable! Ugh—! Bastard!"
Enraged, Shimura Danzo roared and transformed into a desktop cleaning master, pushing everything on the table in front of him to the ground.
"You despicable monkey, you abdicated, but you still demand that I shut down all intercolumnar cell-related experiments? How despicable, do you intend to erase all these related stains after abdicating?"
He would never give up on his experimental research on Hashirama cells, and he would continue even without the Hokage's support.
"Someone come here."
"Lord Danzo."
At Danzo's command, two Root ninjas immediately entered the office.
"Has the laboratory relocation been completed?"
"Reporting to Lord Danzo, three laboratories have been successfully relocated, and Orochimaru has resumed his experiments."
Orochimaru...
An unusual light flickered in Danzo's single eye.
"What are Orochimaru's thoughts on the newly appointed Fourth Hokage? Or does he have any particular ideas?"
It's important to know that before Minato Namikaze rose to prominence, Orochimaru was the strongest contender for the Fourth Hokage.
But now, he, the Third Hokage's most prized disciple and a strong contender for the Fourth Hokage title, has been forgotten in a corner.
"Reporting to Lord Danzo, Orochimaru hasn't shown much of a reaction; on the contrary, he's been spending more and more time in the research lab."
"Heh, he really is very composed."
No matter how angry Danzo was, it was a done deal that the Fourth Hokage would be Minato Namikaze. Even if Danzo Shimura was dissatisfied, he couldn't change anything.
Minato Namikaze becoming Hokage did not cause any ripples in the ninja world. After all, the ninja world was already very familiar with this Yellow Flash of Konoha, and his becoming Hokage was not a surprise at all.
After becoming the daimyo, Tetsuya began to reorganize and develop the Land of Grass. In addition to building a new ninja academy and constructing roads to increase production, Tetsuya also personally went to Sunagakure to lead a cooperation between Sunagakure and Amegakure to begin digging waterways in preparation for diverting the abundant water resources of the Land of Rain to the Land of Wind.
This is a huge project, requiring a large amount of manpower and resources from preparation to commencement. However, these matters are not Tetsuya's concern; let the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind handle them.
The ninja world has entered a period of peace, and at least until Obito, the big boss of the ninja world, starts causing trouble, there will be no major conflicts.
At the Weasel Grave, Tetsuya returned and exchanged identities with his shadow clone to meet his adopted disciple.
On the vast grassland, Lin was practicing ninjutsu.
Besides teaching Rin Sage Mode, Tetsuya also taught her other ninjutsu. He also had his own selfish reasons, as he taught her mostly Water Release techniques to counter the Uchiha clan, who were skilled in Fire Release.
"Lin, take a rest. I have some good news for you."
"master!"
Upon seeing Tetsuya appear, Rinya stopped her training and took the water bottle from Tetsuya's hand.
"Master, what happened outside?"
Tetsuya nodded and said.
"The four great ninja villages launched a joint attack on Konoha, advancing all the way to Mount Kikyo, but their attack was ultimately repelled."
Your mentor, Minato Namikaze, became the Fourth Hokage of Konoha due to his outstanding performance on the battlefield.
"Minato-sensei became Hokage! That's amazing! I knew all along that a ninja as outstanding as Minato-sensei would definitely become Hokage."
Rin was genuinely happy for Minato becoming Hokage.
"But I also have some bad news to tell you."
"Bad news?"
Tetsuya nodded and said.
"A ninja from the Uchiha clan betrayed the village. His beloved girl died in the war, which made him hate everything in Konoha. Because of this hatred, he awakened the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, and his strength became extremely powerful."
"The Uchiha have betrayed us!"
Lin also became nervous, but she didn't even think about Obito, since in Lin's mind, Obito was already dead.
The Sharingan hero of Konoha died. How could a dead hero betray him?
"That's right. His Mangekyou Sharingan ability is very special. It allows him to enter a state of intangibility. In this state, no one can touch him, and similarly, no attack can hit him."
"What incredible abilities! Can the entire Konoha clan be a match for this rogue ninja?"
"Perhaps the people of Konoha will find a way to restrain them."
Tetsuya waved his hand and changed the subject.
"Let's not talk about that. I have some good news to tell you. I've found a way to let you temporarily return to the ninja world. However, you can only return for a short time. When the time is up, you must come back."
"Really! Can I really return to the ninja world?"
Lin was pleasantly surprised. She had been here for a long time and wanted to go back to the ninja world to see it, even if it was only for a short while.
