Konoha's Itachi Reappearance

Chapter 404 Asking Three Generations
399 chapter

"If it is as inferred so far, including the third Hokage, several high-level officials in the village have concealed the truth in order to protect the reputation of the Senju Clan, even you are no exception."

Itachi and Minato stared at each other. The third Hokage was cultivated by the first and second generation, and the second generation was willing to serve as bait to protect the former, and eventually died.

Therefore, even if the members of the Senshou clan did something that would put the village and the country at risk of destruction, Sandai wanted to protect the glory of the clan.

Even Minato, who succeeded the fourth generation of Hokage, has never known the historical truth.

"However, these are just speculations anyway."

Itachi can't guarantee that his thoughts are absolutely correct, he just makes the most reasonable judgment based on the information and cognition he has.

"what."

Minato answered, his azure blue eyes flickered. After pondering for a while, he slowly said, "It's better to ask directly about the facts."

Both he and Itachi coincidentally looked at this gloomy valley again.

Inferred to this point, they must first figure out what the real situation is before they can continue to think on this basis.

The death of the Second Hokage and the disappearance of the Senju clan, there must be something else tricky about it, and I am afraid that even the Third Hokage does not know about it so far.

"Ah."

Itachi nodded, agreeing with this point of view.

"Let's go back."

Minato stretched out his palm, placed it on Itachi's shoulder, and immediately activated the Flying Thunder God Art.
In the brightly lit Hokage office, Itachi's figure flashed, and the shadow clone beside him disappeared with a "bang".

The information returned to the main body, Minato standing in front of the desk was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and said to Itachi: "Thanks for your hard work, you should go back and rest first."

Itachi nodded, and when he raised his head, the man in front of him had already disappeared.

He also turned around and walked out of Hokage's office.

What the real facts are will be clear after Minato confirms with the Third Hokage.

At this moment, although the sky is late, it is the most prosperous time in Konoha.

There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the various passages in the village, and a harmonious and brisk atmosphere permeates the air.

Minato moved directly to the neighborhood of the Third Hokage's residence, the clan ground of the Konoba Sarutobi clan.

The third generation did not live in an area where the Sarutobi clan was concentrated, but chose a relatively remote corner to enjoy leisure.

Starting from youth, the third generation was appointed in the face of danger, and succeeded the second Hokage as the Hokage. For the development of the village, he worked hard for decades. During this time, many major events happened.

Among them, the most influential ones were naturally the two wars that swept across the entire ninja world.

In these two wars, Konoha won the victory due to the emergence of a younger generation of outstanding ninjas.

In the second Ninja World War, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru Sannin fought against the demigod Hanzo, and they were awarded the title of Sannin. Since then, a new era has opened. Today, the name of Sannin has also become a ninja. legends in the world.

At that time, not only Sannin, but also the name of Konoha White Fang was resounding all over the world. Although Hatake Sakumo has passed away for a long time, his name is still enduring.

The ninjas from all over the world were still in awe when they mentioned Konoha Baiya.

The third Ninja World War was the most difficult war Konoha had faced since its establishment, but at this moment, a figure like a savior appeared out of the sky.

He travels across various battlefields with the speed that surpasses the ninjutsu of the second generation of Hokage.

Wherever Konoha's golden flash went, no matter how the ninjas from various countries fought, they all fled and did not dare to confront them.

Sannin, Konoha Hakuga, and Minato, who now succeeds the fourth Hokage, were all directly or indirectly cultivated by the third generation.

He spent almost his entire life developing the village, which was weak at the end of World War I, to what it is today.

In terms of the merits of Hokage in the past, the third generation may not be as magnificent as the first and second generations who established and laid a solid foundation for Konoha, but their political achievements are by no means inferior to their predecessors.

Sandai and his wife Biwako live in a small courtyard in the corner of the Senju clan.

The small courtyard is not big, and there are only two or three rooms in the house, but it looks particularly elegant and unique.

There was no door at the entrance of the courtyard, so Shuimen walked in and arrived at the door of the house that was used as a living room.

When he approached, someone opened the door without knocking.

Lake Biwa stared at Minato with slightly surprised eyes, and said, "Sidaimu, why are you here?"

Minato has been to the home of the Three Hokages, but only two or three times, and this time period is the first time.

"Is there something to do with the third generation?"

Lake Biwa immediately took two steps back, making way for the water gate to come in.

Although she and the third generation are husband and wife, but in terms of address, like most people in the village, they still like to call them the third generation.

"Well, thank you."

Minato nodded respectfully, walked into the house, then turned his gaze, looked into the room inside the house, and saw Sandai Hokage wearing a simple black casual clothes and holding a pipe.

In front of the third generation, there is a little boy wearing a blue scarf. The boy's face is a little fat, and the eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to the third generation.

This boy Minato also knows, he is also a student of the ninja school, his name is Sarutobi Konoha Maru.

He is the son of Saru Feiyang, the eldest son of the third Hokage.

When Minato walked up to the main entrance of the room, Sandai was spitting out circles of smoke from his mouth.

When Konohamaru saw Minato, surprise appeared on his immature face, and he said, "The fourth Hokage-sama!"

Leaving aside Yan Yan, who has successive Hokages in the village, Minato will show up at the beginning of each ninja school.

For every student in the current ninja school, this young and handsome man has been famous in the ninja world for many years, and now he is the fourth generation of Hokage standing at the top of the Konoha ninja. He is simply an idol. .

Even though Konohamaru was usually a bit out of touch, when he saw Minato, he immediately became more disciplined. He nodded politely at the latter and said, "Hi, I'm Sarutobi Konohamaru."

"Well, Konohamaru-kun, hello."

With a gentle smile on Minato's face, he nodded at the boy.

At this time, Sandai finished exhaling the smoke in his mouth, stood up with his legs propped up, looked at Minato and said, "Minato, you came home so late to find me, is there something urgent for you?"

Usually, Minato would be notified by Anbu ninja whenever Minato wanted to meet Sandai.

"Yes."

In front of the third generation, Minato still retains some of the restraint it once had.

Seeing the solemn look on his face, the third generation immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Let's go outside and talk."

The third generation also had a straight face, and then walked out with a pipe in one hand and the other behind his back.

Minato nodded and immediately followed.
