Naruto: I can take people to the future ninja world
Chapter 28 Leaks and Targeting
There were five people in the meeting room.
The Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage advisors Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu, and the Root leader Danzo Shimura.
These are the core senior executives currently in charge of Konoha.
Except for the independent ninja clans and the [Jonin Conference], all other departments and powers of Konoha are scattered in the hands of five people.
Sarutobi Hiruzen currently controls: [Directly Affiliated Anbu], [City Defense Melee Forces], [Medical Department], [Interrogation Department], and [Intelligence Department], and has tremendous power.
Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu: They jointly manage the [Administrative Department], are responsible for assisting the Hokage, and contacting the [Land of Fire] and accepting the financial expenditures allocated by the country to the village. They are equivalent to being in charge of part of the decision-making power, diplomatic power, and financial power. Their status is extremely high, comparable to that of an elder.
Shimura Danzo: He is in sole control of the Root and also enjoys certain financial control.
Namikaze Minato: He currently only manages the [Ministry of Education], some directly affiliated Anbu are still being established, as well as the main government affairs of the Hokage.
The rest include [Corpse Disposal Team], [Beast Training and Recuperation Team], [Boundary Team], [Sealing Team], etc. These are fixed troops, generally not subordinate to anyone, and only play a role in special battles.
This is the current distribution of power among Konoha's core senior management.
The Fourth Hokage, although the words sound good, in reality the power he can wield is very limited.
Not even as good as Danzo.
However, Minato was not in a hurry. He did not get the position of Hokage by anyone's charity, but relied on his own reputation gained in the three wars.
Although he has only been the Hokage for a short time.
But he is already changing Konoha and the village in his own way.
All he lacked was time...
...
Utane Koharu asked first, "Have you figured out the casualties from last night? Such a big disaster can't be hidden from the daimyo, so we need to give a response as soon as possible."
Minato had already finished the statistics: "Preliminary statistics are out. 638 ninja casualties, 2845 civilian casualties, and the number of injured is still being corrected..."
"The casualties are so great?"
"The Third World War just ended, and the village has been badly damaged."
"Now we've suffered another heavy blow. This is really troublesome. Other villages are likely to take advantage of the opportunity to attack!"
Mitomon En said worriedly, finally realizing the horror of the Nine-Tailed Fox.
The only good news is that the Nine-Tails has been resealed. Plus, the Fourth Hokage Minato is still around, and the reputation of the "Yellow Flash" is enough to deter most hostile forces from coveting it.
"I have ordered the border guards to step up patrols and send out some reconnaissance teams. If there are any signs of enemy movement, they should be discovered in time."
Minato's fighting and command talents are not bad, and he has already arranged corresponding strategies.
If there is a village that really wants to take advantage of the situation to rob, Minato will definitely let them eat as many balls as they want!
With Minato's assurance, the others felt much more at ease.
They may not believe in the young Fourth Hokage's various abilities, but the one thing they have no doubts about is his fighting ability.
"After all, how did the masked man who released the Nine-Tails know the time of Jinchūriki's delivery? And how did he sneak into the highest level barrier?" Utane Koharu frowned and questioned.
Minato quickly explained:
"That guy possesses a very advanced [Space-Time Ninjutsu], and he probably relied on that to pass through the barrier. As for how he knew when Kushina would give birth, this..."
At this moment, Danzo spoke:
"The time and location of the Jinchūriki's birth are top secret."
“Generally speaking, only the third and fourth generations and a few others know about it. The enemy’s attack was so precise in timing, they must have received intelligence in advance.”
"Huruzen, Minato, can you explain this?"
Danzo's accusation was very sharp, almost explicitly saying that someone was collaborating with the enemy and leaking secrets.
It takes three and four generations to give an explanation.
"This... I can't confirm whether someone leaked the information yet."
That was the only explanation Minato could give, even though he was also very confused.
Because there are only a few people who know the secret of Kushina's childbirth, and it is impossible for any of them to betray the village!
Wait, Kakashi seems to know that too?
Did Kakashi tell Obito?
Kakashi also betrayed the village?
No, no, no, that's impossible!
The more Minato thought about it, the more confused he became, and he really didn't dare to jump to any conclusion.
And he couldn't say it directly, after all, the information that the masked man was Obito had not been confirmed yet.
He couldn't possibly claim now that it was his own disciple who was responsible for the disaster of [Night of the Nine-Tailed Fox], right?
...
Danzo was of course not satisfied with Minato's answer and immediately pressed towards Sarutobi.
"Hiruzen, what about you? It is said that the two people who were in charge of the delivery, Biwako and Taji, were both your people..."
However, Sarutobi sat in his seat, with his head down in a daze, not saying a word.
"Huruzen, Hiruzen?"
"Danzo! You shouldn't ask that. Lady Biwako was also killed at that time."
"What? Lake Biwa was also in trouble?"
Danzo was shocked, not knowing this.
Overnight, Sarutobi Hiruzen also lost his wife. No wonder he is so depressed now...
Thinking of this, Danzo felt it was not appropriate to force Sarutobi any further.
So they turned their attention to Minato.
"Whoever leaked the information must be thoroughly investigated."
"Also, the village has repeatedly emphasized the threat of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
"Minato, as the Yondaime, you actually caused the Tailed Beasts to revolt, causing such great damage to the village. As the Hokage, you must be held accountable for this!"
The Danzo of World No. 4 is no longer the passionate young man of World No. 2.
Now all he has in his eyes is power and the position of Hokage.
At this moment, he would naturally not show mercy if he could seize this opportunity to criticize the Fourth Generation Minato for his negligence.
It would be best if we could use this opportunity to force him out of the position of Hokage!
Originally, Sarutobi abdicated to Minato partly because, as the reigning Hokage, he had to be held responsible for the huge casualties caused by the Third World War.
...
Facing Danzo's accusation, Minato frowned slightly. He really didn't want to fall out with Lord Danzo.
Moreover, the other party has sufficient reasons at this moment and stands on the side of justice.
No matter what the reason is, Kushina as the Jinchūriki and himself as the Hokage must be held responsible for the Nine-Tails Rebellion.
"Am I wrong? As the Hokage, shouldn't I be responsible for this?"
"Xiaochun, Yan, what do you think?"
The two consultants hesitated, but they were slightly moved in their hearts. After all, if something went wrong, someone would have to take the blame.
Unless the person involved is already dead.
If Minato doesn't carry it, should they?
"We'll talk about the responsibility later. The most urgent task now is to do a good job of post-war work, repair the village as soon as possible, treat the wounded, and bury the dead..."
Sarutobi finally came to his senses and spoke in a conciliatory and soothing manner.
"Hiruzen, you are covering up for me!"
"Danzo, if you really want to be responsible, can you tell me where you and the Root were last night?"
Sarutobi's tone suddenly became sharp and he questioned directly.
"Hiruzen, are you questioning me?"
“I just hope that everyone can come together a little bit, especially during this time.”
Sarutobi gave Danzo a long look.
He opened his mouth to reveal something, but ended up holding it back.
He couldn't possibly say that he met the first and second generations last night and was scolded by Tobirama for more than ten minutes.
Even if I tell him, Danzo won't believe it!
He would only think that I was deceiving him, and wanted him to take the blame, or wanted to reduce his power...
Hey!
My old friend.
After all, I'm in too deep!
Just like myself, isn't it time to let go of some power?
...
When the two were facing each other tit for tat.
An Anbu ninja suddenly knocked on the door and entered, reporting something to Minato in secret.
After hearing this, Minato's face lit up and he immediately stood up and said goodbye.
"Sorry, I have to leave for something important."
"If you have discussed everything and have any important decisions, just have someone notify me directly."
Done.
Minato just whooshed away using Flying Thunder God.
It is clear.
He hurried back after learning about Xia You's visit.
