One punch smashes from the leaves

Chapter 87 The choice of the battlefield
When Katsuzuo took the Chunin exam, Namikaze Minato and Sandai Hokage walked towards the highest Hokage Rock in Konoha Village together.

They stood on the top of the highest mountain in Muye Village, overlooking a large area of ​​residents' territory in Muye Village.

Seeing the crowds of people on the street slowly passing under the eyelids, everyone's face is full of smiles.

In the increasingly prosperous village, every house is firm and towering, as if it wants to take root in this land forever.

The Third Hokage also knew very well why he and Minato came here.

With a kind smile on his face, Midai continued to babble to Minato beside him:
"Minato, look, how long and how much effort it took the ancestors to make so many villagers with smiles on their faces, take root here and live and work in peace and contentment."

At this moment, Namikaze Minato didn't answer in a hurry, but just looked at everything under him with a smile, feeling the light on the faces of the villagers.

He is also very clear that every time the third generation chats with him, he will speak a long paragraph before continuing to answer the first question.

Therefore, Minato quietly listened to the teachings of the Three Hokages.

"It took so many years for the ancestors to bring such a large piece of land to life. Children can go to school. The existence of the school allows the villagers to trust their children to us and cultivate excellent talents for Konoha. "

"For people of our generation, it is a beautiful and luxurious place to live in peace of mind, and it is not easy." The third generation seems to be thinking of his childhood, and he does not shy away from being around him. There is Minakame Minato, who is dozens of years younger than him, by his side.

"After all, it's just a war. Whoever loses wins is the same thing. The war has caused many children to lose their parents, and the parents have also lost their children."

The third Hokage went on to talk, almost talking about Kato Katsusa.

"Minato, Kato Katsusa, you are the one who knows the best. Shikajiu and the three of them strongly recommend him. What do you think?"

Sandai Hokage smoked a pipe, looked at Konoha under him, smiled and waited for Minato's answer.

"I don't have much contact with the kid Shengzuo, but it can be said that I know him best."

"My lord of the third generation, I want to win Zuo as my disciple and teach him the God of Flying Thunder."

Minato's psychology is very clear, people will talk more when they are old, so he directly used this method of recruiting apprentices to affirm Shengzuo's character and strength.

A teacher will absolutely trust his students and will not do anything to kill his students.

If Sheng Zuo really killed his companion, then his companion deserved to die.

This is how Namikaze Minato accepts death in this way. At the beginning, he thought that Sheng Zuo was a good boy, so he must be, and definitely not the kind of beast that kills innocent animals indiscriminately, and is also a waste of killing at will.

I know from the matter of Obito and Kakashi, when Kato Katsuzuo was in the country of soil.

But he was bullied by his two incompetent students every day, and he resolved the conflict between them very kindly.

In the end, he even saved them regardless of his own life, and even the arrogant Kakashi slowly recognized Katsuzuo.

"You submitted a proposal before, and you want Konoha to vigorously train the child Katsuzuo. Why do you trust this child so much? After all, he has a criminal record."

The words of the third generation made Minato a little troublesome. After all, Kato Katsusa killed his enemy Tetsume Jiro in Konoha's front camp.

Now, Sandai Hokage uses this as a reason to question Minato's vision and Katsusa's killing of his companions.

"I firmly believe that Kato Katsuzuo would not harm an innocent life. He couldn't bear to harm even the enemies of Iwain. It was because Kakashi was in danger that he had no choice but to take action."

After thinking for a while, Minato expressed his inner thoughts on Katsuzuo, and even encountered enemies several times, Kakashi rushed to the front, and Katsuzuo covered behind.

For a ninja who hates fighting, anyone who dies in his hands should be damned, and no one is an innocent enemy.

"Okay, I know, Sheng Zuo's child will be handed over to you to train, and when he becomes a Jonin, teach him the Flying Thunder God."

Sandai Hokage can see his love and trust for Katsuzuo from Minato's resolute eyes, since they are all like this, let's take a look.

"Minato, Kirigakure has recently completed the delivery of war preparation materials, and has set up supply points in both the country of Nami and the country of Uzumaki." The third generation talked about the country of Uzumaki, and also deliberately watched Minato's reaction.

The fact that he fell in love with Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kushina, although it has not been announced yet, has already been circulated among high-level officials.

"Kirigakure may take advantage of the battle between Konoha and the Land of Earth at any time. Assault on Konoha Village. Under such a severe situation, how should we face the turbulent Water Country?"

"Minato, what do you think?" After Sandai finished talking about the situation facing Konoha, he saw that there was no abnormality on Minato's face.

The third generation looked at Minato with some urgency, and then asked a question, wanting to see if this leader of the younger generation had any better insights.

"Master Hokage, Konoha has experienced the war in the land of wind, and now he is fighting with the land of earth, and the land of thunder is also deploying troops on the border, ready to move. If at this time."

Minato heard the meaning in the words of the Three Hokages. Speaking of this, Minato paused for a while, and thought about it seriously.

The third Hokage talked to him this time, not only because of Kato Katsusa, but also about him.

The commander-in-chief of the Kingdom of the Wind is Orochimaru, who is currently in a state of truce.

The commander-in-chief of the Earth Defense Line is his teacher Jiraiya, and it is Konoha who has invested the most in combat power. The current situation is initially gaining the upper hand.

For the remaining two battlegrounds, the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Water, which are about to rise, no ninja has been designated as the commander-in-chief.

The meaning of the third generation is actually very obvious, that is, let Minato choose a battlefield as the commander-in-chief.

It seems that Minato was very famous on the battlefield of the land of earth before, and the accumulated prestige is also very high. Even in the cognition of some ninjas, Minato's popularity is much higher than that of the third Hokage.

This made Sandai Hokage feel the pressure from the younger generation.

Therefore, Namikaze Minato needs to leave temporarily to avoid the suspicion that he wants to compete with the third generation for the position of Hokage.

Even if he doesn't think so, the group of family forces loyal to Hokage will force Minato to make a choice, so the third generation thinks that by making a choice, it will not arouse Minato's anger.

"If Kirigakure attacks Konoha, once Konoha is attacked, it will cause the morale of the front line to collapse. At that time, we may fail."

"So you need a strong man who can command all the ninjas in Konoha, and you are the most suitable for the third generation of Hokage."

Namikaze Minato is not good at politics, but he also knows that his current record is too impressive.

Not only the third Hokage, but even Danzo has been insinuating that he wants to make a fuss about Obito's death.

Fortunately, when returning to Konoha, the teacher Jilai also communicated with him for a while, and told him a lot about Konoha's political issues, so he was able to clearly reply to the third Hokage.

"Hehe, Minato, you have a shortcoming, that is, you are too modest. Now your prestige is higher than mine. I am old and can't walk anymore."

The Third Hokage is in a good mood, and the eyes that look at Minato are much kinder.

A backward player who knows how to advance and retreat is a good opponent.

Even if he is in power in the future, he is still a good puppet.
