Chapter 114 A Day in the Life of the Fourth Hokage (Two in One)

Only someone with space-time abilities can fight someone with space-time abilities.

Obito didn't know whether Byakuya was reminding him or launching a new round of ridicule against him, but if he wanted to weaken Konoha's strength, he could only start with Minato Namikaze.

As Minato's disciple, he is very familiar with Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique.

It can be said that if Minato Namikaze was not there, the war between Konoha and Iwagakure might still be won, but it would definitely be at a huge cost.

After all, the Konoha outpost had completely collapsed at that time, with only a few people left.

Later, it was Minato Namikaze who led them to kill the Iwagakure ninjas all the way, and with his own strength, he pushed the front line forward for dozens of kilometers.

It was precisely these achievements that were recognized by the frontline ninjas and allowed him to become the Fourth Hokage.

Unfortunately, although Minato Namikaze was able to protect thousands of Konoha ninjas during the Iwagakure War, he could not protect the members of Minato's team, and he was always a step late at the most critical moment.

If I attack Minato and the Konoha Village, will he be late?

Evil thoughts came into Obito's mind, but he quickly put them aside. How could he be evil? This cruel world is just a game.

The world where only Lin exists and can enjoy a peaceful life is the real world.

Obito repeatedly emphasized this point in his mind, trying to give himself psychological hints. The Sharingan seemed to be stimulated by something and became brighter and brighter.

In order to prevent Black Zetsu and Byakuya from noticing anything unusual, Obito used Kamui and stepped into the whirlpool.

Black Zetsu glanced at Obito who was leaving, and said to Bai Ye: "Bai Ye, do you want him to deal with the Fourth Hokage?"

Bai Ye said ambiguously: "The decision is in his hands, but Senior Black Zetsu, I am a little curious about the identity of the masked man. Is he really Madara's successor? Didn't Madara leave Konoha alone back then?"

"Madara left Konoha alone...but not all Uchiha are willing to stay in Konoha."

Black Zetsu looked towards Byakuya and continued, "He is a very special Uchiha. He once had some relationship with Konoha, but now it's more of hatred."

"Black Zetsu-senpai really knows how to have fun..."

Bai Ye sighed, and then seemed to remember something, and said: "But his experience and personality seem familiar to me, as if I have seen them somewhere."

"Although he tried to appear tough, he was really conflicted inside."

Black Zetsu's face changed slightly. He almost forgot that Byakuya and Obito had met. With Byakuya's ability, it would be easy for him to remember Obito's appearance and personality.

What if Byakuya discovers Obito's true identity...

That didn't seem to be a big deal. Byakuya and Obito were both tools for him to resurrect his mother. It was enough for just one of them to play a role.

Thinking of this, Black Zetsu chuckled and said, "Really? Maybe you have really met before, but he is now Madara's successor, and his previous identity is no longer important."

"Senior Black Zetsu is right. It doesn't matter what your previous identity was."

Bai Ye nodded, agreeing with Black Zetsu's words. Identity has never been important. He almost forgot what his identity was before joining Akatsuki.

……

While Bai Ye and Hei Zetsu were discussing a shocking conspiracy, Konoha was holding the inauguration ceremony of the Fourth Hokage.

When the Third Hokage handed the hat symbolizing the power of the Hokage to Minato Namikaze, Minato Namikaze took the hat, put it on, and shouted to the audience:

"Thank you for your recognition. I am willing to protect Konoha with my life."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a warm applause from the audience, and everyone looked at Minato Namikaze.

After the handover ceremony between the old and the new, it means the end of the era of the Third Hokage’s rule and the beginning of a new era.

But no one knows whether it is the era of the Fourth Hokage or the era of two Hokage.

Without wasting any time, after moving into the Hokage Building, Minato Namikaze started working with the assistance of several advisory elders. The heavy workload made Minato Namikaze immediately realize the difficulty of being Hokage.

Even with the assistance of the Third Hokage, Minato Namikaze still worked until dusk.

After returning home, Kushina was cooking in the kitchen. When she saw Minato, she chuckled and said:
"Our Yondaime is finally back. How does it feel to be the Hokage on your first day? I remember our dream in the Ninja School was to become Hokage, and now this dream has come true."

Namikaze Minato walked towards the kitchen and helped cut vegetables while sighing, "Being a Hokage is harder than I thought. If it weren't for the Sandaime's help, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to complete the basic work today."

"It's like this at first, but you'll get used to it later. I'll also support you silently from behind."

Namikaze Minato said half-jokingly: "Thank you very much for your support, Lady Kushina."

Kushina nodded in satisfaction, "That's not bad, but our Hokage-sama should go to the table first, as the meal will be served soon."

Namikaze Minato readily followed suit, and the two of them soon came to the dining table and began to eat and chat.

Of course, it was mainly Minato Namikaze, the Hokage, who was complaining, and Kushina just listened silently, and there were also some small complaints from Minato Namikaze.

Before becoming Hokage, Minato thought the power of the Hokage was unlimited.

As long as you become the Hokage, you can immediately change the bad situation in the village. In fact, the power of the Hokage is indeed very great, but if you want your orders to be executed, you must cultivate your own Anbu.

Although the Anbu under the Third Hokage nominally belonged to the village, they were actually the Third Hokage's private army.

It would be fine if there was no conflict with the Third Hokage, but once a conflict broke out, these Anbu would only obey the orders of the Third Hokage, not themselves.

But it is not easy to form an army of your own.

It will take half a year or even several years, and during this period, his power will inevitably be checked and checked, and he will be powerless to do anything even if he wants to.

And finding allies is also extremely important.

Because of the master-disciple relationship, Sensei Jiraiya is his ally, and Ino-Shika-Chou, with whom he used to be a teammate, is also considered a close ally.

But these are just enough to maintain self-protection, and it is difficult to make further efforts unless there is strong support.

There are more things that the Hokage needs to deal with.

Ninja schools, exchanges with the daimyo, and the conflicts and balance between the ninja clans in the village are all things that the Hokage needs to consider. He also has to do a series of work part-time, such as issuing commissions and training talents.

Just hearing this gave Kushina a headache.

However, she knew that Namikaze Minato needed allies, so she said, "Minato, Mikoto and I have a good relationship. How about I invite her and Fugaku to my house some time? Can you chat with Fugaku?"

Minato Namikaze quickly understood Kushina's intention, which was to ask him to cooperate with the Uchiha.

He did have the idea of ​​visiting several major ninja clans in the future, and Uchiha was one of the contradictions that could not be avoided, so he nodded.

After talking about the village and the ninja clan, Kushina seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, there is one more thing. Kakashi seems to have not come out of the shadows recently. Otherwise, he could become a member of your Anbu. Well, I will go and see him tomorrow."

After hearing Kakashi's name, Minato Namikaze's expression dimmed a little.

After experiencing the wars in Iwagakure and Kirigakure, Kakashi is the only one left of Minato's squad. Rin and Obito not only died heroically, but even their bodies were not left behind.

If only he had been faster, but unfortunately he was always a step late.

This is simply a curse.

Kushina noticed that Namikaze Minato was in a bad mood and comforted him, "This is war. Not many of our classmates survived."

"When Iwagakure comes to sign the treaty, we can enjoy some peace."

Namikaze Minato nodded, and then said: "I plan to assign Kakashi to the Anbu to carry out missions. If he continues like this, it will sooner or later cause tragedy."

Kushina said with some confusion, "The ANBU are so dark, doesn't this excite him even more?"

Namikaze Minato came to Kushina's side and shook his head:

"Have you forgotten that I'm the Hokage? I arranged all the missions, and I plan to let Kakashi protect us until our child is born."

Kushina smiled and said, "I didn't think it through. It seems that being pregnant really does make you stupid."

"How could that be?" Namikaze Minato leaned over to listen to his heartbeat, then said, "Kushina, you have always been so smart, but you are a little anxious."

At this time, Namikaze Minato seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you. It is a piece of news from the Hidden Rain Village."

"What news? Good news or bad news?" Kushina looked confused.

Namikaze Minato quickly said, "This is good news. Do you still remember the three children that Jiraiya taught in the Land of Rain?"

Kushina nodded and asked curiously:

"Of course I remember, but they seemed to have lost contact with Sensei Jiraiya later on. Have you heard from them recently?"

Namikaze Minato didn't keep the secret any longer and said directly: "They established an organization in the Rain Country and recently joined the Hidden Rain Village and became the leader of the Hidden Rain Village."

"Hmm? As the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, Jiraiya-sensei's disciples are more outstanding than the other."

Kushina began to analyze seriously: "If we can establish a connection as brothers, the village will not only not have to worry about large-scale attacks in the north, but we can even have a powerful ally."

"That's not what I meant... I'm not thinking from the Hokage's perspective."

Minato Namikaze felt a little helpless towards Kushina, as Kushina always considered everything for him.

After a short pause, Namikaze Minato continued: "What I mean is that there are several Uzumaki ninjas in the Hidden Rain Village, and you still have clan members in the ninja world, so you are not alone."

"There are several Uzumaki ninjas in the Hidden Rain Village?"

Kushina was stunned for a moment. She had always been used to living alone.

Apart from Lord Mito, no one else can contact the tribesmen. After the fall of the Whirlpool Country, the remaining tribesmen either fled to other places or changed their identities.

She couldn't see any of them.

Now Namikaze Minato told her that many of her clansmen still stayed in the Hidden Rain Village. For a moment, it was a little difficult for her to accept it, but the happiness on her face could not be faked.

Kushina wished she could leave Konoha the next moment and go look for her clan members.

But the next moment, Kushina dismissed the idea. Her identity was very sensitive. She was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the wife of the Hokage.

It is very difficult to leave the village, and those old guys will not agree.

Once a large number of people are taken out, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of other ninja villages, and the Hidden Rain Village will also suspect Konoha's intentions.

After all, the relationship between the Hidden Rain Village and Konoha is not very good, and the Uzumaki clan and Konoha are also not harmonious, and they can even be said to be enemies.

The bloody facts are there.

No matter what the reason was at that time, Konoha had broken the alliance. It was a broken alliance. Konoha failed to protect the Land of Whirlpools and violated the promise of both parties.

And after breaking her promise, she still became Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

If it weren't for Mito-sama, if she hadn't met Minato at the ninja school, she would have been devoured by the Nine-Tails in her body.

As if he had seen through Kushina's thoughts, Namikaze Minato said with a smile:

"If there is a chance, I will invite Yahiko and his team to visit Konoha. I am very interested in some of the concepts they have implemented in the Rain Country. Yahiko is also a very interesting person, as can be seen from the words in the letter."

"When the time comes, I will arrange a meeting between you, Nagato, Karin, and Byakuya."

When the name Byakuya was mentioned, Namikaze Minato was obviously stunned for a moment, because he had met Byakuya before, but he didn't expect that Byakuya was also a ninja from the Uzumaki clan.

He was also deeply impressed by what Byakuya said to Nohara Rin and Obito.

Byakuya asked Nohara Rin to retire, saying that she was not suitable to be a ninja. As a result, Nohara Rin, who originally wanted to retire, was persuaded to come back by Kakashi and Obito, and died on the Mist battlefield.

Bai Ye invited Kakashi and Obito, but neither of them accepted.

As a result, Kakashi lost his eyes and Obito died in a pile of rocks. Byakuya's words seemed to have magic, and all the ninjas who did not listen to his advice died.

"What's wrong?" Kushina asked curiously when she saw Minato Namikaze was stunned.

Namikaze Minato cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and said with a chuckle:

"Nothing, I just thought of Bai Ye and Xiao Nan. I actually met them once before, but I didn't know if they were friends or enemies at that time."

Kushina was stunned for a moment, then said:

"Are there still these things? Why haven't I heard you mention them before? What does Bai Ye look like? How old is he? How strong is he?"

Namikaze Minato thought for a moment and said:

"He's about the same as Kakashi, with similar strength and age. He looks quite sunny, but when he looked at me, there was something wrong with his eyes, as if he already knew my identity and position."

"Of course, the Uzumaki clan's perception is just that strong."

Kushina boasted:

"Besides, you are the village's elite Jonin, and now the Hokage, so it's normal for you to be remembered. Go take a shower quickly, because you have to go find Kakashi tomorrow."
