Ninja: I'm really a support ninja

Chapter 228 Triangle is the most stable form.

"Father!"

"teacher!"

The two brothers Hatake greeted in unison, which made Sakumo Hatake and Minato Namikaze who were standing in Hokage's office all smile.

"came back?"

Hatake Sakumo is in good spirits, and it can be seen that his body has really recovered to a certain extent.

"Well, how's your body feeling lately?"

Hatake Sakumo is in a good mood instantly because of the concern on Hatake's face.

Hatake Akira, who used to be neither big nor small, seemed to have gone away, which made Hatake Sakumo feel comforted in his heart.

War is indeed a shortcut for people to grow up quickly, the premise is that you can survive...

"The recovery is very good. I believe I will be able to come out of the mountain again in a few years."

Hatake Sakumo smiled, turned to look at Kakashi, "Kakashi, I've heard about your record, you didn't lose my face, and even far exceeded my expectations."

"It's all taught by you and the teacher."

Kakashi smiled shyly, and after replying, he turned into a dull gourd again.

There is no way, Kakashi is like this in front of people, and everyone present has already seen it.

"that……"

Akira Hatake took two steps forward and hooked Sakumo Hatake's shoulder. This move made Sakumo Hatake's smile shrink, and the muscles in his brow couldn't help but twitch a few times.

"The matter between you and Aunt Hui Nai..."

"roll!"

Hatake Sakumo pushed away Hatake Akira, the expression on his face was extremely bad, "I just praised you, and you immediately gave me a face, right? Hatake Akira?!"

"No, I'm just curious..."

Akira Hatake looked at Sakumo Hatake with a grin, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his actions just now.

After Hatake Akira came out like this, the atmosphere in the office became less formal and more lively.

Soon, Namikaze Minato also joined in, and the four chatted happily.

From some anecdotes on the battlefield, I talked about some interesting stories during the rest period, and from some dangerous situations on the battlefield, I talked about some benefits after the war.

In short, the topics among the four revolved around the Three Wars, and there was no sign of a chill.

After chatting until the sun was slanting towards the west, the four of them slowly slowed down their speech, and instead chatted one after another.

Maybe it was because he couldn't help it or something else, but Minato Namakaze suddenly took the initiative to change the topic and focused on Akira Hatake.

"Ming, I heard you met Itachi Uchiha when you returned to the village?"

"Well, it did happen."

Hatake Akira nodded, and admitted frankly, "And I value Itachi Uchiha's talent very much, and I am moved to love talent."

"It can make you tempted, which means that Uchiha Itachi is indeed very good."

Namikaze Minato smiled, and then his expression turned serious, "But Ming, do you know the consequences of what you do?"

"Consequences? What are the consequences?"

Hatake Akira didn't take it seriously, "After tomorrow's succession ceremony is over, you will be Konoha's Fourth Hokage, and Konoha's future will be decided by you. I don't think there will be any serious consequences for me to do so."

"You...you are still as considerate as ever."

Minato Namikaze could more or less guess the meaning behind Akira Hatake's move, and there were many praises in his words.

But then, Namikaze Minato expressed his worries, "Of course, if you do this, you can temporarily get the support of the Uchiha clan, but after a long time... I am very worried that the Uchiha clan will not be able to get rid of it."

If he is not in his position, he will not seek his own affairs. Now that Minato Namikaze is about to become the Fourth Hokage, he can't help but think about more things.

In this regard, Hatake Akira expressed his understanding.

However, the Uchiha clan really does not become an unstable factor for Konoha, as previous Hokages worried.

On the contrary, with the mentality of the Uchiha clan, if it is used well, it will have a huge increase in Konoha's overall strength.

Although the Uchiha clan is very extreme, they still agree with Konoha in their hearts, and even have a centripetal force for Konoha that far exceeds Konoha's other ninjas.

The reason why this happens is, in the final analysis, because Konoha was jointly created by the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan.

As the force that created Konoha, the Uchiha clan has no reason to want to destroy Konoha.

However, due to historical problems, as one of the initiators of the creation of Konoha Hidden Village, the Uchiha clan has been excluded.

This caused the Uchiha clan to become more and more dissatisfied with Konoha's senior management.

Please note that the Uchiha clan is only dissatisfied with the high-level Konoha on duty, but they do not have any resistance to Konoha.

Therefore, as long as the ruling policy is changed, it is really easy for the Uchiha clan to change from thorns to "obedient citizens".

Sometimes Akira Hatake couldn't help complaining about the poor governance level of Konoha's senior management, which turned Konoha Hidden Village, which should have dominated the entire ninja world, into one of the five hidden villages.

If the third series of Sarutobi Hiruzen can do something, then the current ninja world should be a situation where one superpower has many powers, instead of the five hidden villages checking and balancing each other.

Now that Akira Hatake has found the crux, there is no reason for him not to change.

"Teacher, what you are worried about will not happen."

Hatake Akira shook his head, "The stronger the Uchiha clan, it means that the strength of the entire village is also rising. No matter whether it is too big or not, the meat will rot in your own pot. Isn't this a good thing?"

"This……"

Namikaze Minato was at a loss for words, but after thinking about it, that was the case.

But what Namikaze Minato wants to express is not entirely worried about the Uchiha clan, but worried about a series of remaining forces of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After succeeding the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato was very worried that once he changed his ruling thoughts on the Uchiha clan, he would usher in a violent rebound from the Sarutobi Hiruza series.

After all, the Uchiha clan has been oppressed for so long, and once they regain momentum, they will inevitably retaliate violently against the Sarutobi Hiruzen clan.

This is a situation that is bound to happen, and there is no need to think about it.

Clay figurines are angry, let alone human.

"Ming, you are right, but have you considered what will happen once we change our ruling thinking towards the Uchiha clan?"

"Foresighted."

Akira Hatake looked at Minato very seriously, "Teacher, let me ask you a question. Will the members of the Hokage Guard be replaced when you officially succeed the Fourth Hokage tomorrow?"

"Is Anbu going to reorganize?"

"Does the root need to be rectified?"

"Should the ministers of Konoha's ministries also be reappointed?"

As Hatake clarified a series of questions, Namikaze Minato's frown deepened just now.

He suddenly discovered that, except for Hatake Sakumo, Hatake Akira, and Hatake Kakashi in the office, he actually didn't have any talents available for the stage!
Although Namikaze Minato has benefited from the Third Ninja World War and has accumulated a lot of fame, he has also accumulated a crowd of hardcore Konoha ninjas from the middle and lower levels.

However, the benefits of these potential forces to Namikaze Minato are extremely limited, and they do not allow him to control the entire Konoha very well.

The middle and low-level Konoha ninjas can't be assigned to leadership positions in very important departments. The only available ones, Hatake Sakumo, Hatake Akira, and Hatake Kakashi, can also fill the vacancies that are dissatisfied with Konoha's high-level positions.

And Jiraiya and Tsunade have also decided to leave the village, which makes Namikaze Minato's situation even worse at this time.

That is to say, despite the fact that Namikaze Minato is now Konoha Fourth Hokage on the bright side, most of the leaders of Konoha's various important departments are still the wings of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although it is impossible for these old Sarutobi Hiruzen members to disobey orders, they are definitely playing very slippery.

Therefore, Namikaze Minato must place his own people in some important departments with real power.

But the problem is, there are very few people who can use Namikaze Minato now...

"Teacher, as long as you decide to reorganize the power and personnel structure of Konoha's various real power departments, you will definitely challenge the political resources left by the previous Hokage."

"So, no matter what you do to the ruling phalanx of the Uchiha clan in the future, you will face the forces left by the previous Hokage."

"If this is the case, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. At this time, attracting the Uchiha clan can not only solve the problem of shortage of manpower, but also pull the Uchiha clan out and temporarily become a target."

Akira Hatake's rhetoric hit the nail on the head, making Namikaze Minato suddenly open, and the frown that was wrinkled into a ball also relaxed.

"It still has to be you, Ming!"

Namikaze Minato praised, "Sometimes I even think, compared to me, you are the one who is really suitable to be the Fourth Hokage."

"do not……"

Akira Hatake took a step back and waved his hands again and again, "It's fine to let me have an idea, but if you let me be a real Hokage, I won't be able to play it."

"Is it tiring?" Namakaze Minato squinted at Hatake Akira.

"Ahem, teacher, it's good that you know it, don't say it..."

Hatake Akira's eyes dodged, and his words were a little embarrassed.

"I don't force you either, but after I succeed Hokage, you can't be lazy."

Namikaze Minato was about to squeeze out the value of Hatake Akira again, "You can be my Hokage consultant. With your help, I think I will be able to display my ideas and ambitions soon."

"This……"

Akira Hatake wanted to decline, but just as he was about to refuse, he met Sakumo Hatake's gaze.

Shrinking his neck, Akira Hatake could only nod in agreement.

"Haha, in this way, I have a bottom line in my heart!"

Namikaze Minato was very happy, and then cast his sights on Hatake Sakumo, "Master Sakumo, although it is difficult for you to be the Minister of Anbu with your current body, I hope you can come and help me."

"Sidaimu, since you have spoken, I will naturally not refuse."

Seeing that Hatake Sakumo agreed to come down, Namakaze Minato looked at Kakashi again, "Kakashi, let you be the captain of the Hokage Guard, and I will pick some for you later if there is a manpower."

"is teacher!"

Kakashi didn't change his name and called Namikaze Minato the "Fourth Hokage-sama". Based on their master-student relationship, if they were really called that, they would be born.

"If that's the case, the rest is to see how the Uchiha clan chooses."

Namikaze Minato raised his head and glanced at the direction of Uchiha's residence, feeling somewhat expectant and apprehensive.

After Akira Hatake showed his favor for him, I don't know if the Uchiha clan will choose to seize this opportunity to get closer to him.

But just when Namikaze Minato was restless, Hatake Akira spoke again.

"Teacher, the most stable relationship is actually a triangle."

Namikaze Minato was taken aback by the nonsensical words, and then he had a clear understanding in his heart.

"Ming, what do you mean..."

"We can pull the Hyuga Clan into the chariot." Hatake Akira smiled, "It makes no sense that the Uchiha Clan is about to take off, but the Hyuga Clan, who have always been in competition with them, can sit still."

"I think, you should find Hinata Hinata to get in touch..."
