Naruto: I Can Take People Through the Ninja World in the Future

"Stop, stop, stop, you two, stop spreading dog food!" Lux interrupted quickly.

"Sir, what's dog food?" Minato looked confused.

"It's not important."

After the charming atmosphere between the two was interrupted, Kushina was still very unhappy and couldn't help but complain: "Isn't there any way to avoid all this? Isn't it too unfair to let you, who saved the village, bear the brunt?"

Minato shook his head, indicating that he had no answer. As a Hokage and a ninja, what was fair and unfair? There were only pros and cons, weighing and choosing. This was also one of the principles Minato realized as he got older.

"There's a way!"

As soon as Lux opened his mouth, he caught Minato and Kushina's attention.

"Sir, do you really have an idea?"

If it wasn't for his wife and children, Minato certainly wouldn't want to be blamed. As soon as he heard that there was a way, he naturally became energetic.

"It's very simple, just reveal the real killer."

"You mean Obito?"

Minato frowned, disagreeing with this approach.

"Sir, don't talk about whether we can prove that the masked man is Obito. Even if it's proven and exposed, the chances of success are not great."

"On the one hand, it's indeed difficult for a foreign and mysterious enemy to be the target of hatred. On the other hand, Danzo and the others won't agree."

Not only would they not agree, but if Minato didn't take responsibility and didn't share power, they might hinder him in every way behind the scenes. Claiming that Obito was just a scapegoat to avoid responsibility. He even made a fuss about his heroic student who had died. What a waste of time for him to be a teacher and so shameless!

With their influence and channels that had been deeply involved in Konoha for years, it was too easy to twist and fabricate important information.

Hearing this, Kushina's newly ignited enthusiasm subsided.

"It would be easier. Since we're worried about those old guys hindering us from behind, just kill them all!"

Lux's words shocked Minato and Kushina, and their eyes widened. This was too radical! Was this so-called immortal being so cruel? Was it really that easy?

"No, no, Sir, please be patient! Although their behavior is inappropriate, their crimes don't deserve the death penalty!"

Minato hurriedly tried to prevent him, afraid that Lux would directly kill the Konoha elders with magical methods. As bad as Hiruzen was, Minato never thought of killing him. After all, he was Jiraiya's teacher! Moreover, most of Hiruzen was still good, except for a little greed for power and a little cooperation with Danzo.

As for Danzo and the other two elders, they were equally guilty and didn't deserve to die! If Minato really killed them all, this would inevitably lead to fierce resistance from the Sarutobi Clan, the Shimura Clan, and other major clans, even breaking out into a civil war throughout Konoha Village.

"Tsk! Yondaime, you're still too kind."

Lux sighed, never expecting that Minato would actually kill them.

"Since you don't want to kill them, find another way to get rid of them. Just find a way to remove them from the core and senior management and revoke their positions and power."

Whether it was to unify the ninja world or for what needed to be achieved after unification, there would be no more divisions in twenty years. Lux had to get rid of the people who were hindering him!

As long as they remained at the core level, they would definitely cause various troublesome incidents in Konoha. It was better to let Minato take care of everything early. Save himself from future trouble.

"This... I'm afraid this won't be easy!"

Minato had actually had this idea for a long time, but considering the resistance and difficulty of the actual action, he had no choice but to give up.

"If they stay in those positions, they will only be obstacles to Konoha's progress. You should know this very well, Yondaime."

"I know. But if you want to eliminate their power, the losses may be far greater than the benefits, and the risks are uncontrollable!"

He knew the old guys' greed for power better than anyone. Minato's ability in handling government affairs was not comparable to Future Naruto. After all, when he took the Hokage position, he wouldn't be homeless every day, and he wouldn't look exhausted.

"How can you be sure that the cost must be greater than the benefit?"

"How do you determine how much impact their foolish actions have now?"

Lux continued to ask.

Minato's expression turned slightly gloomy, but he was still very stubborn: "I'm sorry. Everything you said is true, Sir. But, the village really can't afford another major upheaval!"

As Hokage, Minato always had his own considerations. The Third Great Ninja War was indeed too tragic. Konoha, which had just ended the war, really couldn't withstand another upheaval.

And there was another reason that Minato didn't reveal. Power was never just about one person. No matter how strong Minato was, even if he could kill through the ninja world, he still couldn't manage the village alone. He couldn't issue statistical tasks, calculate income and expenses, and maintain public security every day.

A ninja's energy is limited, and no matter how easy it is to use shadow clones, fatigue will accumulate. Even if this could take away some of Danzo's power, Minato still had to rely on other Konoha ninja clans to manage the village and maintain the balance of various ninja clans.

He couldn't guarantee that the newly appointed village elders would be better than Danzo and the others. Unless he had enough time to find or cultivate a group of new talents.

"Minato, you're playing chess. You have your plan, a more moderate and steady plan, right?"

Lux looked at him and revealed Minato's thoughts in one sentence.

Minato was startled, gritted his teeth, and nodded. Since he became the Fourth Hokage, Minato felt restricted. He was born a civilian ninja and couldn't get support from some powerful ninja clans, and Hiruzen didn't delegate much power to him.

He wanted to change the village, he wanted to build the village. This was really very difficult! However, after careful consideration, Minato chose not to seize power by force, because it would be too detrimental to the village.

Instead, he chose to 'willingly' be a puppet for a while and secretly develop his strength. An agreement was reached with the core senior management of the village and the group of ninjas led by the Hyuga Clan, and they took over the Education Ministry.

Gradually, more civilian ninjas were introduced to the school and carefully trained. To gradually let the entire Konoha say goodbye to the era when clans were the only ones, and move towards branching out with consideration for many parties.

New ninjutsu was developed, new techniques were promoted, and new ninja concepts began to collide. He held the first school ninjutsu competition. The first school ninjutsu exhibition was held. New things and people were always emerging.

The fact that three people with similar characteristics could come into contact and learn the S-rank forbidden art of the Hiraishin Formation Technique under his teachings was already amazing.

'Weakness' was just another way to 'hide the tree in the forest' of construction. Under this 'weakness', even if he killed the entire ninja world in the name of the Yellow Flash, no one in Konoha or at the top considered Minato a major threat, and no one considered him ambitious.

He only needed to hide for a while and develop for a while. Wait to cultivate more civilian ninjas and ordinary ninjas to destroy the ninja system and the deeply rooted secret system in Konoha.

At that time, everything would fall into place, and the big tree of Konoha would naturally be able to break free from decay and regain its vitality!

This was the path Minato chose as Hokage.

He never told anyone about this, and he didn't want Kushina to worry, but he didn't expect Lux to know.
