Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

"Minato, do your best!" (Minato)

Chapter 221 Handle with care? Kushina was furious and couldn't understand it at all!

Hiruzen Sarutobi was not forced into it.

Since Minato Namikaze refused, no one pressured him too much.

after all.

There's no need to rush into plotting against Obito.

But getting Minato Namikaze to become the Fourth Hokage is what he's most concerned about right now.

Hiruzen Sarutobi would never make such a foolish mistake as losing sight of the bigger picture.

He is not Danzo!

Hiruzen Sarutobi had a clear understanding of his future plans and the priorities of his tasks.

To ensure Minato Namikaze's rise to power, and to minimize any misunderstandings between the two, so that even when he retires to the background, he can still secretly control Konoha.

This is the top priority!

Everything else has to take a backseat to this.

Therefore, after briefly mentioning it and Minato Namikaze's refusal, he wisely refrained from further conversation.

We chatted briefly, and I subtly offered a hint.

I have high hopes for you. When you're working hard with "793", don't forget who your benefactor is.

then.

He immediately adjusted his Hokage hat, lit a pipe for himself, bid farewell to Minato, and headed home.

Of course, it's not a break.

Although he was very tired, there had been just too many troubles in the village in the past two days.

The resettlement of Shisui and the other Uchiha clan members is only halfway done.

There's nothing we can do about it!

Since things have gotten even more chaotic here, even the Hokage can't sit still!

We can only put the matter of stopping the water aside for now and hurry up and deal with this mess.

just now.

Now that things are stable at the water gate, it's time to hurry back and deal with the mess left by Shisui.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, I really want to cry.

Being the Hokage is truly a frustrating job.

There are endless troubles to deal with every day, especially after Uchiha Jin rose to power, he is basically working non-stop.

Seriously, what a load of crap!

He really doesn't want to be this damn Hokage anymore; he just wants to bring the Third Shinobi World War to a perfect close as soon as possible, and then seize the opportunity to achieve fame and fortune before running away.

As for these messy things in the village, let Minato, that puppet, deal with them.

All he needs to do is secretly control the overall situation and make the village operate according to his own ideas.

Namikaze Minato: "..."

Watching Hiruzen Sarutobi's departing figure, his eyes narrowed slightly.

His eyes flickered.

No one could guess what he was thinking.

At last.

He glanced at the busy secret service team, then gave up on thinking about it.

He turned around and headed home.

five minutes later.

When Minato Namikaze returned home, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Yes.

He was really tired!

It feels like he has to put on a fake smile whenever he leaves this home, and only when he truly returns can he become his real self.

Well, it's alright.

Although his wife was furious, it didn't affect their family.

It looks like I'll be able to get a good night's sleep tonight.

As for the others...

With Hiruzen Sarutobi around, there's no need for him to worry about it.

"Minato, you're back!" Kushina walked over and said, "Sit down and rest for a bit. I'll give you a shoulder massage."

"Lin, go pour your master some tea!"

Yes.

Seeing Minato Namikaze's exhausted face, Kushina Uzumaki truly felt sorry for her husband.

With her fiery temper, she personally came over to massage her legs and shoulders.

She even remembered to tell Nohara Rin to quickly go and pour Minato a cup of tea.

Nohara Rin moved very quickly.

A cup of tea was quickly brewed and handed to Minato.

"Teacher, please have some tea!"

even.

Even Obito and Kakashi came over.

Everyone looked worried.

Nobody's stupid.

Tonight's events were indeed quite chaotic. It would be a lie to say that these small fry aren't worried.

After all, they were facing the village elders and the Hokage this time!

Minato Namikaze wore a wry smile.

He was quite uncomfortable with this life of being treated like royalty, so he only enjoyed it for a moment before giving up.

"Well, let's forget about it."

"Kushina, don't be like that. I'm not that tired today. You guys are the ones who are really tired."

“Especially Obito and Kakashi, you both did a great job just now.”

"Lin is our partner, and we should not be afraid even when facing a powerful enemy!"

"And Kushina!"

"Thank you so much for your help today, otherwise I can't even imagine what would have happened!"

"But thankfully, it's all over now."

"I just spoke with the Hokage. This mistake is not our fault; it is entirely Danzo's own fault."

"Even the Hokage has decided to completely strip Danzo of his status as an elder and the leader of Root."

"However, considering his contributions to Konoha, we will retain his Jonin status!"

So, relax a little.

"This matter has been resolved; it has nothing to do with us!"

Minato Namikaze spoke with a smile...

only.

Upon hearing these words, everyone fell silent instantly.

Yes, unbelievable!

They could hardly believe that this incident had escalated to such an extent, destroying so many civilian homes...

Even if they weren't the ringleaders, they shouldn't have been let off so easily, right?

Especially Kushina.

When she first became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she couldn't control the Nine-Tails' power well, so she caused many property losses to the village when she lost control on several occasions.

His previous loss of control had not resulted in any casualties.
