Naruto: The world has misled me a lot!

On the Hokage's Iwagaya, a man wrapped in a black cloak and wearing a spiral mask was watching the scene from afar.

The scarlet three-magatama eyes were slightly dazed.

Naruto? What a ridiculous dream!

"Now is not a good time to take action."

Black Zetsu emerged from the ground and noticed Obito's unstable emotions, and was afraid that he would suddenly lose his mind.

"How's the news you asked me to find out?"

The three magatama's pupils found focus again, and Obito asked about another matter.

Although Rin's death was due to Minato Namikaze and Kakashi's failure to protect her, the culprits were the top leaders of Kirigakure.

Obito wanted to make them feel unforgettable pain, and the entire Kirigakure would have to pay the price for Rin's death.

"Yakura succeeded to the throne as the Fourth Mizukage, but his mind was filled with a thirst for power, and for this he became the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails."

"You are courting death. In front of the Mangekyō, all the tailed beasts are illusions."

The increase in the power of the Mangekyō by Wood Release gave Obito great confidence.

In addition to the ninjutsu against the tailed beasts taught by Uchiha Madara, even if Yagura became a perfect jinchūriki, he still could not escape from his grasp.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see."

As soon as the words fell, the space twisted into a vortex, and the figure in the black cloak disappeared from the spot.

After the succession ceremony, Minato Namikaze, who became Hokage, began to exercise the power of Hokage.

He first announced the results of his discussions with the Daimyo to the Council of Elders and several high-ranking members of the Hokage faction.

"The military alliance strategy is fully supported by the Daimyofu, and we both agree that Cheng will be responsible for its implementation."

Namikaze Minato did not expect that Kato Makoto's prestige would have the ability to influence the daimyo.

After determining the strategy for the strategic transformation of the Fire Nation, the Daimyo proposed without hesitation that Kato Makoto be in charge of this matter.

There is no one better suited for this job than a Root leader with a distinguished reputation and a distinguished record.

With him around, no small country would dare to act rashly, and he could also deter several big countries from acting rashly.

"No problem, I agree."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the elders' seat. The feeling of influencing Konoha's policies from a different perspective was very novel to him.

There is no pressure to make decisions and people can express their opinions freely.

He began to understand why Danzo always spoke in a sarcastic tone when expressing his opinions.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, the others followed suit.

When it comes to strategies between countries, a leader who can control the situation is indeed needed. The four elders are in a state of honorable retirement. Apart from the Fourth Hokage, only Kato Makoto has such strength and prestige in Konoha.

"Then, the next item is about the Yondaime's Shadow Guards."

The Shadow Guard is a force directly under the Kage. Unlike the Anbu and Root which have their own leaders, the leader of the Shadow Guard is the Kage.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is Ying's private army, and its importance is self-evident.

In this regard, the best among the five major countries is Kumogakure, and the Shadow Guard has directly become the training ground for the next Raikage.

This caused all the young talents in Yunyin to fight hard to get in.

The Shadow Guard naturally became the strongest, leaving the Hidden Cloud Anbu with no sense of existence.

"According to Konoha's tradition, the Yondaime's Shadow Guards should be selected from the next generation, which means training backup. Does anyone have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

Mitomon En's words made everyone present look bitter.

The three wars left a generation of people half-crippled, and Kato Makoto had gone to plunder again before. If a few more reserve talents were to be taken out from the clan, what would the family do?

"Makoto, the Root has trained a lot of talents for the Anbu, what suggestions do you have?"

Seeing that no one spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen threw the question to Kato Makoto.

"The Root does have some young men in reserve. In addition to a few of my disciples, Minato can choose whatever he wants."

Kato Makoto immediately realized what Sarutobi Hiruzen was planning and blocked the road.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face froze. He had planned to take this opportunity to transfer the armor from the Root to the Hokage.

The only Wood Release ninja in Konoha will have appeal as long as he grows up, and Wood Release can suppress the Nine-Tails. Kushina is the Jinchūriki, and the double insurance can make the Nine-Tails more obedient.

"Well, Jia, Maoyue Xigao and Yamanakafu are all good."

"Jia is being trained as the next leader of the Root. Xiyan is going the swordsmanship route, which requires a lot of actual combat, so the Root is more suitable. As for Shan Zhongfeng, I plan to have him study with the external garrison and train him to be a capable general. If you want them to stay in the Shadow Guards to keep up appearances, I have no objection."

The three disciples were given clear arrangements, so Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to stop bothering them.

Compared to the Root, the Hokage Guards are just bluffing. They follow the Hokage around all day and guard the Hokage's office. What can they develop? Internal affairs skills?

Moreover, Minato Namikaze's fighting style is not as comprehensive as that of the Sandaime, and only people with specific talents can learn from him.

"Let Ino, Shikaku and Chou take on the roles, and let Minato choose a few juniors. It would be a good mix of old and new."

Danzo stood up at this time, which overturned Konoha's past tradition of forming shadow guards.

Nara Shikaku was speechless when he saw the other three elders nodding in agreement. How did it come to them again after all these twists and turns?

"Well, elders, we are all too busy with the affairs of the jonin squad..."

"I'm letting you take on the part-time job, but you're not always in charge. Besides, isn't the jonin class far from the Hokage's office?"

Danzo just glared at him, and Nara Shikaku was speechless.

After a few discussions, everyone realized that the Yondaime was not yet accustomed to the position of Hokage, and that it was mainly the four elders who were making plans. Even Nara Shikaku, the core of the Yondaime's power, found it difficult to resist the orders of the elders.

After the meeting, Namikaze Minato found Kato Makoto alone and mentioned Hyuga Hiashi.

Kato Makoto had just helped his disciple reject the invitation from the Shadow Guard, so he didn't want to offend Minato again this time, so he nodded and agreed.

Kirigakure Village.

The Fourth Mizukage Yagura took the information sent back by the Anbu, read it, and put it aside.

"Namikaze Minato succeeded to the throne of the Fourth Hokage, Kato Makoto stepped to the forefront, and Konoha also completed the change of leadership."

With a younger Hokage and a pro-war leader, Konoha's policies should change.

However, this has little impact on the Water Country. What can the Fire Country do to the Nation of Mist with the ocean between them?

Even if Konoha defeated Kirigakure in three battles, it still didn't gain a penny.

No, Kirigakure still has four priceless ninja swords in Konoha's hands.

Thinking of this, Yagura glanced at the other jonin in the Mizukage's office, and finally locked his eyes on Mei Terumi.

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are the symbol of Kirigakure and cannot be lost. Now four of the seven swords are missing. This is all due to the wrong decision made by the previous Mizukage. Mei Terumi, it is up to you to go to Konoha and take the swords back."

"Mizukage-sama, Kirigakure and Konoha have not held any peace talks so far and are still in a state of war. It really doesn't make sense for you to ask Master Ming to go to Konoha."

The red-haired woman didn't need to say anything, her subordinates naturally came forward to speak for her.

The other jonin also nodded in agreement. What was the difference between letting Mei Terumi go to Konoha at this time and walking into a trap and committing suicide?

"Huh, I've been so distracted by the tailed beasts lately that I didn't express myself clearly just now. What I meant was to let Mei Terumi redeem the ninja sword."

Karuju Yagura suppressed the anger in his heart and added a sentence.

He somewhat understood why the Sandaime went on a killing spree when he came to power. What's the point of being a Mizukage if he can't have the final say?

"We still have to go to Konoha, and we didn't..."

"Long, stop talking."

Seeing the Fourth Mizukage's face turn from pale to black, Mei Terumi immediately stopped her subordinates and turned to Karatachi Yagura and said,

"I will take care of this matter, but the four ninja swords are too valuable. I can only ensure that I can do as much as I can with the money I have."

"You...discuss it with the Yuanshi."

Gotachi Yagura wanted to scold him, but suddenly red tailed beast chakra emerged from his body and his face changed drastically. He could only say a few words and left instantly.

The Yuanshi sitting in the elders' seat took a deep look at the empty Mizukage seat.

The Kage of a great ninja village has actually degenerated to the point of arming himself with the tailed beasts, becoming a jinchūriki that everyone despises and avoids. This is a real disgrace to our ancestors.

Why did the third generation leave such a thing?

If he had known this kind of character, he would never let the Third Mizukage kill Mangetsu.

But it's too late to say anything now.
