Chapter 23: A wise man should use the power of others

"Do you find it difficult to accept it?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and sat on the Hokage's throne.

"But that's the reality."

"But what's the point?"

Namikaze Minato took a deep breath and looked straight at Sarutobi Hiruzen. Facing these cloudy eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, he truly put down all disguises and masks for the first time.

"Good question."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stretched out his finger and gently tickled the little bird that had been eating food on his desk.

"The so-called compromise does not mean giving up, nor does it mean complicity."

"It looks like it's going backwards, but actually it's going forwards. It's moving by force, like a bow and arrow being drawn."

"The moment the bow is fully drawn, you will shoot an arrow that no one can stop!"

"Don't you understand?"

Looking at Namikaze Minato's confused eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed twice.

"On June 5th, the thirty-seventh year of Konoha, I received a secret report. The elders of Konoha, Danzo Shimura, betrayed an extremely important site on the west side of Konoha and behind the Rain Kingdom front line to the Rain Ninja Village through the roots. Supplies point.”

"The purpose is nothing more than to hold back my three apprentices."

"Why?"

"Because I am forty-two years old, and I seem to be at the peak of my ninja life, but because my fighting style relies heavily on chakra, I actually only have a small tail left. In a few years, I may retire. Become a member of the Konoha Council of Elders and choose a new Hokage."

"And before that, I should have made a decision for the next Hokage."

"Danzo is three years younger than me. His lifelong dream is to be Hokage, and he has indeed made great contributions to Konoha. Therefore, he was worried that he could not compete with my three apprentices, so he chose to use this ways to suppress them.”

"After all, you also know that once this stronghold is destroyed, the logistics of at least nearly a thousand ninjas in Konoha will be greatly affected, and there may even be a large number of casualties."

"Theoretically, this is a capital offense."

"I should execute him."

"But, what you don't know is that Danzo has extremely strong intelligence work ability. He has spies at the root of the Rock Ninja, Sand Ninja, Rain Ninja, and even the most exclusive Cloud Ninja, to provide the source of Konoha. Continuously providing information.”

"Killing him is easy. I can let him use one hand. But what happens after killing him?"

"Konoha's intelligence system will suffer a devastating blow."

"So, I chose to compromise. I just restricted his rights instead of killing him."

"Then what if you, Sandaime, didn't intercept the information and his plan succeeded?"

"Same."

"so."

Namikaze Minato took a deep breath.

"Can I understand that Elder Shimura can be forgiven no matter what he does because of his value?"

"Of course not."

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his lips.

"This is the second thing I want to tell you. Compromise also has a bottom line."

"A compromise with a bottom line is like a bow and arrow that is ready to strike."

"But compromise without a bottom line will drag yourself into the abyss."

"Because once you cross the bottom line, you will discover one thing. When you make a decision on anything, you can use the word compromise to comfort yourself."

"I am so."

"It's just that some low-level ninjas died. Compared with the value of Shimura Danzo, the latter is more important. It's all for Konoha."

"The same goes for Danzo."

"Why isn't what he did a compromise? However, he has actually stepped on the edge of crossing the line, betrayed a stronghold, and sacrificed the interests of nearly a thousand ninjas. This is a big deal, but it is not enough to harm Konoha. His muscles and bones are moving, so he is still alive, but if he crosses this bottom line, then the day the war ends will be his death. "

"Similarly, you too."

"I?"

"You want to use the most eye-catching way to get into the sight of the top management of Konoha, but a little bird Yu Sanye appears, awakening the Mudun that has not appeared for decades. It stands to reason that you can use your As a captain, order him to fight with you."

"It is even said that with your talent, you deliberately create some small mistakes in the battle, which is enough to make a bloodline awakener die easily, and then lose the possibility of competing with you."

"But you didn't. You kept your bottom line. That's why I admire you."

"So, is this a test for me?"

"To be more precise, it is based on hindsight. If I ignore the safety of so many ninjas and ignore the safety of so many ninjas in the stronghold you guard in order to test you, then for the lives of other ninjas fighting for Konoha, Danzo and I will have What's the difference?"

"Hey, in fact, when Jiraiya arrived, they had already broken through the secret sentry on the outside. After all, they were a little behind."

"I see."

After pondering for a long time, Namikaze Minato nodded.

"However, I still have a question."

"What questions?"

"With your wisdom, since you know that Elder Danzo has such power, why don't you give some of this power to others? The reason why he is confident is that he may seize on your concern. As long as he does not pass the line, You wouldn’t kill him, something like this might happen again.”

"Then. Why didn't the Hyuga clan hand over their Byakugan, the Uchiha clan didn't hand over their Sharingan, the Aburame clan didn't hand over their parasitic secret technique, and the Inuzuka clan didn't hand over their ninja dogs. Where’s the secret technique?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped his fingers lightly on the table. Every time he tapped, the bird would jump along with it, as if it was playing with his fingers.

"The root of Danzo Shimura has such abilities because he drained all the elites of the Shimura clan. The Shimura clan, who are naturally good at controlling wind and dreams, spy on intelligence while hiding their own side. The entire ninja world It’s hard to find an opponent.”

"Because...it's a secret skill that belongs to each ethnic group."

Suddenly, Namikaze Minato raised his head and looked into Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes again, as if he wanted to confirm something from inside.

"Minato Namikaze, this is the task I entrust to you as Hokage."

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly took out a scroll from the drawer and threw it to Namikaze Minato opposite.

"this?"

The moment he saw the mission, Namikaze Minato blushed at first, and then showed resistance.

Because this mission turned out to be a fake heroic rescue of a beauty, and the purpose was to get himself close to a girl named Uzumaki Kushina.

"Originally, this task is still a bit early. I think it is appropriate when you are thirteen or fourteen years old, because that is the season when young people most long for love. However, there are some problems now, ha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but smile.

"Speaking of which, you and that kid Xiaoniao Yousanye have some kind of connection."

"What happened to him?"

"Kushina seems to have a little liking for him, so I can be forced to plan ahead."

"Ah this."

Namikaze Minato's face turned even redder, and a feeling of guilt and immorality even arose in his heart.

"But, Hokage-sama, what is the significance of this mission?"

"Because, this child is a Jinchuuriki."

"I see."

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato nodded slowly.

When they looked at each other just now, he had already seen the answer in the Sandaime's eyes.

I saw the answer to why the other party compromised.

"Last question, Hokage-sama."

"you say."

"Sanye, what's his attitude? As you said, I can compromise, but my bottom line is that I will not betray my friends, especially Sanye. He saved my life. I want to know what he thinks about it. What’s that girl’s attitude?”

"This is the information my people sent before you came."

Sarutobi Hiruzen handed the paper recording the communication between Kotori Yu Mitsuha and Uzumaki Kushina to Namikaze Minato.

1. At the end of the previous chapter, Sarutobi Hiruzen burned the information paper. It has been modified here and changed to keep it for Namikaze Minato.

It's a small BUG and has been fixed.
