Wandering the ninja world from the Valley of the End

After Namikaze Minato succeeded as Hokage, Konoha did not change significantly. The young man did not have enough experience to control such a large village.

However, he was very modest and always consulted the Third Hokage on everything, thus gradually making his position more stable.

After all, he is just coming to power and is only twenty-four years old. Although Golden Flash's name is resounding, some wealthy families in Konoha may not buy his account. When dealing with certain sensitive issues, the Third Hokage still needs to come forward. Town market.

At the same time, he also accelerated the expansion of his power, placing Kakashi and his bodyguards in important positions in the ANBU, in order to control the center of the ANBU.

But he was measured, and he did not touch Danzo's "roots" rashly. Danzo was a veteran force in Konoha, and even the Third Hokage could only restrict him in certain aspects when he was in power. He had just become Hokage, so he didn't have to He hurriedly pulled out the tiger's beard.

……

In early spring of February, although the weather has begun to get warmer, there is still a chill coming.

Sitting in the Hokage building, Namikaze Minato was talking seriously to the many ANBU in front of him. Some of these people were in the ANBU before he became Hokage, but most of them were arranged in the past two months after he became Hokage. of.

Kakashi was standing in the back row of these people, still a little short in comparison.

They can all be called Namikaze Minato's confidants, and they will be the backbone for him to stabilize his position as Hokage in the future.

"Not long after the war between Iwa Ninja Village and Kumogakure Village ended, the major powers are now exhausted. Iwa Ninja and other villages have also signed an armistice agreement with us, but we must not be careless. This is my first year as Hokage, and I don't want to cause trouble. , Therefore, the safety of Konoha is left to you, you must nip the danger in the bud, understand!"

"Yes!" All the ninjas responded in unison.

"Very good, you go down first." Namikaze Minato nodded with satisfaction.

The ANBU ninjas exited in an orderly manner, and Kakashi, who was wearing a silver wolf mask, stayed where he was. He still had no intention of leaving until everyone left.

Minato had already lowered his head to deal with the documents. When he felt that Kakashi had not left, he looked up in confusion, "Is there anything else, Kakashi?"

Kakashi was a little hesitant, thought for a while and said: "Teacher, I made some discoveries. During last year's eve festival, the day after you became Hokage, I went to pay homage to Obito and Rin that night, and I laid down lilies in front of their tombstones. But not long ago, when I went to pay my respects, I found that it seemed that someone else besides me had been to their tombs, no... to be precise, they had been to Lin's. In front of the tomb, this is not a big deal, but I don’t know why, but I feel a little uneasy in my heart, and I always feel that I should tell you about it."

Namikaze Minato frowned and said after thinking: "Kakashi, it is a good habit of a ninja to be good at observation, but don't tighten your nerves too much. Lin and Obito are heroes who sacrificed for the village. Some people go there at this time of the New Year." It’s normal to pay homage, don’t think too much about it.”

Seeing Kakashi's hesitant expression, he chuckled and said, "Okay, I understand what you mean, but it seems that you have been too tired from your recent missions. So, I will give you three days of leave. Relax your mind, young man, it’s time to be cheerful.”

Seeing his teacher's appearance, Kakashi also felt that maybe he was too suspicious, so he nodded lightly and said, "Thank you very much, teacher." After that, he bowed and turned to leave.

Minato shook his head and chuckled, and continued to lower his head to approve the document in his hand. This was a case reported to the Konoha Security Department, involving the Uchiha clan and other ninjas in the village. He frowned slightly when he saw the trial opinions submitted by the Security Department. .

He had heard about this matter. It was not a big deal, but it was the fault of the Uchiha clan. However, in this document, all the responsibilities were borne by the other party, and the security department sentenced the ninja to half a year's imprisonment. At this time It requires him as the Hokage to sign and agree.

Minato was silent. If he had followed his previous character, he would definitely not have approved it, and would have sent the Uchiha people to reprimand him.

But after he became the Hokage, he discovered that Konoha was not completely consistent with what he had known before. He had never come into contact with the things hidden in the darkness even when he was performing tasks in the ANBU, let alone the relationship between the major clans and the Hokage. relationships, compromises and conflicts among senior leaders.

These are real.

The Uchiha clan is a threshold that all generations of Hokage cannot bypass. Even the first or second generation Hokage cannot solve this problem perfectly.

The contemplation lasted for ten minutes, and finally, Minato signed the word "agree" on the document.

He looked up and saw that the sky outside the window was blue, but for the first time he felt the helplessness of being Hokage. And it is foreseeable that this helplessness will accompany him for a long time, maybe even the entire Hokage's term.

Time passed quickly, and the sky dimmed quietly. Minato approved another document, put it together, sorted it, and folded it together, preparing to hand it over to his assistant for distribution later.

Looking at the time, he got up and left the Hokage Building. According to his character, he should have worked extra hours, but he couldn't during this time.

When he thought of the reason, he couldn't help but have a happy smile on his face. Kushina was pregnant for more than a month. Although there was no change in appearance, a feeling of happiness surged in his heart every time he thought about it. .

Yes, after Namikaze Minato was successfully elected as the Fourth Hokage, he personally went to the Rain Ninja Village. There, Byakuya conducted a strong assessment on Namikaze Minato. In the end, Namikaze Minato successfully completed Byakuya's assessment. , brought Uzumaki Kushina back to Konoha Village from Rain Ninja Village.

Among them, the Nine Lama also followed Kushina to Konoha Village because of his good relationship with Kushina, but he went in a completely wild state instead of being sealed in Kushina's body. .

Namikaze Minato has always felt that Kushina is the best gift God has given to her. From the first time she saw her, the bright red color was imprinted on her heart.

"I'm back." Minato opened the door gently and shouted with a smile. The outside world had completely darkened, and the lights in the house were turned on, making it as bright as day.

The smell of food came from the kitchen, it looked like Kushina was cooking, Minato thought to himself, put on his shoes and entered the house.

However, when he just walked into the living room, a figure was sitting on the sofa swaggeringly, looking around very leisurely. After seeing him come in, she waved her hands and smiled very naturally: "Hey, Minato, you are back."

Namikaze Minato was startled, he hadn't seen this person for a long time.
