Chapter 34: Killing Someone with a Borrowed Knife
Half an hour later.
Minato left Fugaku's room with satisfaction.
He teleported back to his guest room in a flash.
"How is it? Did it go well?"
Kushina immediately approached and asked anxiously.
Although she supported Minato in confronting the old men, after the actual implementation, she would inevitably be worried.
"It should be going well. I'm not sure, but Danzo and the others didn't doubt it. On the contrary, they seemed very excited."
"Hmph! That old man is naturally happy. He only fears seizing the Hokage's power even in his dreams."
Kushina muttered, also knowing the character of those old things.
"Then did they quarrel?"
"Indeed."
"Minato, who do you think will eventually take over your duties?"
"Most likely it will be Sandaime, or perhaps Danzo… The two remaining advisors, the possibility is not high…"
"Sir, what do you think?"
Minato looked at Lux, unsure who would take the lead.
"It doesn't matter who acts as Hokage on your behalf. The important thing is that you can take a temporary break in the name of guarding Kushina. This way, whatever happens in the village next, you won't be blamed."
"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear the burden!"
"The position of Hokage is not easy to occupy. When Kumogakure Village provokes war again, whoever represents the Hokage's power must bear this responsibility."
This was Lux's proposal.
Let Minato use Kushina's name to step down first and take the initiative to hand over the Hokage's power.
Let those Konoha senior officials fight and let them fight against Kumogakure Village.
Whether it's ordinary people or ninjas. Only after losing it will you know how to cherish it, that's how bad its nature is.
After they know that Konoha without the Yellow Flash, no one dares to step on them, and those old men are unable to lead them to victory.
Naturally, they will miss Minato very much.
In the end, Minato will attack fiercely to turn the situation around. At that time, he will be able to easily control the entire Konoha and sweep all those Konoha senior officials, relics of the past, into the trash.
This means killing someone with a borrowed knife!
Borrow Kumogakure Village to get rid of those old men.
"Sir, will Kumogakure Village really launch an attack?"
"Yes, it will definitely happen."
Although the plot has changed, Minato did not die on the night of the Kyuubi Rebellion.
However, as long as Minato doesn't appear for a long time and adds a little publicity, then other great ninja villages will think that the Fourth Hokage is seriously injured and unable to fulfill the Hokage's power.
They will definitely be ready to take action at that time.
Although other ninja villages may not take action immediately.
But the strongest, Kumogakure Village, which most despises Konoha, will most likely be the first to take action.
That's just in the original plot line.
As soon as Kumogakure Village heard that the Yellow Flash Namikaze Minato was dead, they immediately launched an attack on Konoha Village.
This then led to a local war between Konoha and Kumogakure that lasted for a full three years before they were forced to stop the war and sign an alliance agreement.
In fact, this alliance and ceasefire was initiated by Konoha.
Because it didn't take long after the alliance was formed. Kumogakure once again sent envoys to sneak into Konoha Village in an attempt to kidnap Hyuga Hinata, who was only three years old. They completely considered the agreement to be nothing, hoping that Konoha would break the agreement again and continue the war.
It can be seen that in this three-year local war, Konoha was clearly at a disadvantage.
"So that's how it is!"
"Hahaha, when those old men can't defeat Kumogakure Village, the people in the village will know how powerful my husband is!"
Kushina shouted excitedly, already wanting to see that scene.
"War will always kill people, unless it is unavoidable."
"Why…"
Minato shook his head and sighed. If he had no choice, he really didn't want to see war happen again.
"Then you have to find a way to unite the entire ninja world. Then naturally there will be no war."
Minato was surprised, then laughed: "Sir, you're joking. How can I have that ability? Being able to protect Konoha is already my greatest wish."
Lux was also not in a hurry. He knew that Minato's character, just like Hashirama's, could not be forced.
He just needed to be guided slowly, and when he could truly unite the entire ninja world, Minato himself would make the right choice.
"That's right. How do you know that Konoha can't defeat Kumogakure Village?"
Kushina suddenly asked curiously.
"Have you forgotten in whose hands the Second Hokage died?"
"Do you think those old men have the courage to fight Kumogakure Village resolutely?"
To fight against another village, Konoha senior officials might still dare to fight.
Only when facing Kumogakure Village, they don't have the courage.
In this Parallel World 4, Senju Tobirama did not survive. Hiruzen and the others' spirits had been defeated by Kumogakure Village that night.
Right now, how do they still have the courage to fight Kumogakure Village?
This is also the reason why, after Konoha finally begged Kumogakure for a ceasefire, Hiruzen even forced the Hyuga Clan to send Hyuga Hizashi to Kumogakure to commit suicide, but he did not dare to continue the war.
Does the Hyuga Clan still support Konoha senior officials?
Impossible, very unlikely.
"But just in case…"
Kushina was still a little worried, if Konoha really defeated Kumogakure Village under the control of those old men, wouldn't Minato become a clown?
How could he return to the position of Hokage?
"There's nothing wrong. Besides Kumogakure Village itself, Madara, Obito, and others will also take action against Konoha."
"Ah?"
"Obito he?"
Minato was a little anxious, Obito was really a nuisance that he didn't want to talk about.
"Minato, Kushina, why do you think Obito attacked the two of you?"
"In other words, why does he want to capture the Kyuubi now?"
Faced with this question, Minato and Kushina were stunned.
Then Minato guessed: "Was Obito forced by Uchiha Madara?"
"The incident between Rin and Kakashi should have made him very heartbroken. Did Madara take the opportunity to hypnotize him like that?"
Obviously, Minato still didn't want to believe that his kind and shy student would actually turn into a villain who killed his teacher and his teacher's wife.
There is speculation that the source of all evil comes from Uchiha Madara.
"Obito's change was indeed led by Madara. But his choice to control the Kyuubi to attack Konoha was not Madara's order."
Lux knew very well. In fact, Madara had already died before Sasuke was born.
No one would give Obito orders now, so why did he specifically come to attack Konoha?
For revenge?
Then he should kill all the Kirigakure ninjas who killed Rin, rather than attacking Konoha.
To capture the Kyuubi?
There is no preparation in the Gedo Mazo, and the other Bijuu have not been captured, so why come early to capture the Kyuubi?
Is Obito afraid that other ninja villages will not know that there is an extremist organization aiming at every Bijuu?
After 'strategic nuclear weapons' like Bijuu are controlled by forces outside like Takigakure, the entire ninja world will be panicked.
As it is, if a terrorist organization suddenly controls the nuclear arsenal, the five great nations will be so anxious that they can't sleep!
Therefore, Obito's deliberate attack on Konoha is not just for revenge or to vent his anger.
