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

"Even if Onoki could trick the Third A into going there by himself, the chances of success would not be high."

"Is there a problem?"

Danzo spoke indifferently.

Obviously.

Tonight I killed Sarutobi Shinnosuke myself, and today Root and Anbu fought each other again.

The so-called friendship between the two of them has long since vanished.

Since we can't afford to fall out for the time being, we'll naturally handle this as a business matter.

“Minato Namikaze, no problem.” Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly. “But Uchiha Jin…”

He had a bit of a headache.

Minato Namikaze is easy to talk to. Even if there are some differences between them, when it comes to important matters concerning the village, his love for the village should be more than enough.

However, Uchiha Jin is the most difficult to deal with.

after all.

He was a senior member of the Uchiha clan, the head of the police department, and had even retired from the ninja ranks.

If you want someone to make a move, you have to be prepared to pay a hefty price!

only.

Considering the importance of ending the war to him, he finally took a deep breath and spoke.

"no problem."

"Leave this matter to me. Danzo, you should also expedite things on your end."

"Delay may lead to complications; the sooner the better!"

Danzo nodded.

This kind of thing.

He didn't need Hiruzen Sarutobi to remind him; he naturally knew what to do.

He finished the conversation immediately without uttering a single unnecessary word.

He didn't even bother to say hello, and simply turned around and walked away.

Yes.

He didn't take the Hokage and old friend in front of him seriously at all, since they had long since lost all affection for each other.

They were just collaborating, nothing more!

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained calm despite Danzo's lack of respect.

..... ... 0

He knew it very well.

For them now, it's already quite good that they haven't completely fallen out.

Given the power Danzo controls, I really have no way to control him.

So, no nonsense.

After Danzo left, he summoned the Anbu again and asked them to find Minato Namikaze.

After half an hour.

Minato Namikaze, smiling like a little sun, simply walked in and bowed.

"Lord Hokage!"

"Hmm, Minato's here!"

Looking at Minato Namikaze in front of him, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was full of complex emotions.

Actually, let's not talk about him.

Even Minato Namikaze himself was actually somewhat embarrassed.

Yes.

So much has happened in the village these past two days.

Although he stayed at home most of the time, he would occasionally go out to see other people and maintain some relationships.

But, same thing.

His status had reached this point, so even without inquiring, those who had truly won him over and were willing to follow him would come and tell him things on their own initiative.

and so.

The death of Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Shisui's feigned defection, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Root and Anbu...

He knew all of these things.

If it were someone with his usual personality, he would definitely have stepped in to stop it.

but.

After having a conversation with Uchiha Jin and truly understanding the village's real darkness, he completely lost interest in it.

It's like dogs fighting.

He simply couldn't be bothered to care.

"Hokage-sama!" Minato Namikaze took a deep breath before asking, "Is there a mission you've summoned me for?"

Chapter 256 Minato willingly falls for the trap, Uchiha Jin has a headache!

Minato Namikaze, no nonsense.

Yes.

Having fully learned that the Hokage he once respected was merely a ruthless and unscrupulous politician, he naturally had no interest in getting entangled with Hiruzen Sarutobi any further.

If it's official business, just tell me and I'll take care of it.

If not, I'm leaving!

In short, he has no interest in personal relationships.

"Oh, there is indeed a mission." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled. "This mission is definitely yours."

"But I'm just letting you know in advance so you can be prepared. It's unlikely to happen in the short term."

"But this task is extremely important."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, though unwilling, still managed a faint smile at the sight of Minato Namikaze before him.

After all, no matter what you say.

This will be the future Fourth Hokage.

囧 Then...

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't waste any more words and immediately explained the whole story.

immediately.

He then spoke in a solemn tone.

"Watergate!"

"I dream of ending this war as soon as possible. Konoha can't afford any more trouble now."

“Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure all agreed, but Kumogakure disagreed. There’s nothing I can do about it.”

"I think Lu Jiu's suggestion is fine."

"So don't feel guilty, everyone actually wants the Third Raikage to die!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi began to explain.

First, he stated his own position, then he talked about the Cloud Village's lack of sociability, and finally he directly brought up Nara Shikaku, the person who made the suggestion.

What he wanted to express was very simple!

Although this plan was extremely dirty, it had nothing to do with him being the Hokage.

Obviously.

He still cares a lot about Minato's opinion of him.

After all, if Minato Namikaze were to take over in the future, the more respectful Minato would be to him, the easier it would be for him to secretly control the village.

Meanwhile, on the other side...
