The five generations of Konoha Village were reserved by me

Chapter 174 Minister Anbu!

"Lord Hokage."

When Xia Yan walked into the ward, he nodded to Namikaze Minato with a smile on his face, and then he looked at Kushina.

Similarly, he also nodded kindly to Kushina, which was enough for him.

In fact, he didn't even think that his luck was so good. After all, he didn't know exactly when Namikaze Minato would wake up from the coma.

The vitality he injected into Namikaze Minato is not much, and the rest needs Namikaze Minato to recover by himself.

What he did was actually very foul. After all, compared with medical skills or ninjutsu to heal a person, the most important thing is that a person's body heals itself.

Whether it is surgery or medical skills, the actual effect is an auxiliary role.

Xia Yan's direct infusion of vitality in this way is to some extent directly repairing the problems in a person's body.

Of course, this kind of repair can also be seen as using vitality to activate the healing cells in a person, allowing them to reproduce more powerfully.

Of course, this is just Xia Yan's own thinking. After all, he didn't study medicine, and even he didn't get involved too much in medical ninjutsu.

"You are too polite Xia Yanjun, I don't think we need to be so."

Namikaze Minato shook his head lightly, then he said with a smile.

"But you came just in time, and I also want to know about the current situation of Konoha."

Namikaze Minato is always concerned about Konoha's current situation, even if his current state is not really that good.

But as Hokage, he has this responsibility, and now that Xia Yan is here, if he doesn't get to know him well, he won't be able to forgive himself.

Jiu Xinnai frowned, then she sighed helplessly, she knew what kind of character her husband was.

Although she is a little worried about Minato's current physical condition, she is more proud. After all, her husband helped her fulfill her dream back then.

"Although Xia Yanjun has agreed, if you need to avoid it." Jiu Xinnai sat up after speaking: "Then I can go out and wait."

"Actually, I don't think there is anything worth hiding in the village." Xia Yan smiled and shook his head: "So there is no need for Kushina Jonin to avoid it, and I don't think Hokage-sama wants you to avoid it either."

Namikaze Minato nodded slightly, but he didn't say anything, because Xia Yan had already said everything he wanted to say.

He really didn't intend to let Kushina avoid him, especially since he still had some questions to ask Xia Yan later.

He hopes to face these problems with his wife, to understand some things together, and to verify some things together.

"Master Hokage, the casualties in Konoha Village have not been fully counted this time, but it is foreseeable that the casualties should not be low, especially among the civilians."

Xia Yan almost used the calmest tone to narrate the damage that Kyuubi caused to Konoha this time, while Namikaze Minato was always trying to restrain his inner anger.

Xia Yan really didn't know how many casualties Kyuubi had caused this time, but he could tell by looking at Konoha's reaction mechanism.

If he hadn't sent all Anbu's reserve team to evacuate the civilians in advance, I am afraid that they would not know what to do when they encountered the village being attacked for the first time?

In the original book, the residents of Konoha have such deep malice towards Naruto, I am afraid that the destruction of Kyuubi really left an indelible impression on everyone.

In addition, Hiruza Sarutobi and his usual method of diverting conflicts, instead of letting the villagers focus this time on 'why Konoha's prevention and control and evacuation are so poor'.

It's better to simply put it on the top of 'Nine Tails caused so much damage to the village, such hatred cannot be eliminated'.

The former is detrimental to their situation, while the latter allows them time to deal with more problems.

However, it is worth mentioning that it was probably also the cause of the Nine-Tails incident, which allowed Konoha to improve the prevention and control and evacuation measures in his village.

Only then did the Chunin exams take place, and after the two villages of Sand Yin and Yin Yin attacked, the villagers could quickly and calmly evacuate to the refuge.

"As for the ninjas, it has been confirmed that there are more than [-] lower ninjas killed in battle, more than [-] middle ninjas, and more than ten upper ninjas."

Xia Yan continued to tell what he knew. It is normal for the ninja to suffer small losses. After all, ninjas all have Chakra and have been trained to have a certain ability to protect themselves.

However, this number is not small, especially since this is only the current death data, and there are still many injured ninjas waiting for treatment in the ward downstairs.

Whether these guys can survive is still a question, and whether they can continue to be ninjas after they survive is another question.

Namikaze Minato couldn't help but sighed slightly when he heard this, the loss this time didn't seem like a big deal to the ninja.

But after being Hokage for more than a year, he naturally knew that what he lost this time was not as simple as a ninja.

This is a loss of Konoha's credibility!
In fact, it's not that there have been problems with the seal of the tailed beast in other villages, but it is extremely rare for it to happen in my own village.

Moreover, Konoha is number one in the ninja world, and it has received the most attention, so Konoha is also the most passive when such problems arise.

After all, Konoha has not reached the level of the so-called lighthouse country of freedom in Xia Yan's previous life, and there are not so many good-tempered villages in this world.

"There is one more thing I need to talk to Hokage-sama."

Xia Yan raised his head slightly when he said this, and he looked at Namikaze Minato seriously before speaking slowly.

"Murajima Takumi, the head of Anbu, is dead, and I killed him."

"what!"

Before Namakaze Minato could speak, Kushina who was beside him made an incredible sound.

The head of Anbu was actually killed by Xia Yan, and he told his husband so bluntly, what does this guy mean?
And Namikaze Minato couldn't help but frowned, he stared at Xia Yan carefully, he knew there must be a lot of hidden things in it.

And I'm afraid that their current conversation will really involve what he wants to verify, so he just looks at Xia Yan quietly, waiting for Xia Yan to continue talking.

"Junin Kushina, please don't get excited."

Xia Yan's voice was still gentle and calm, he smiled and looked at Kushina, and then turned his eyes to Namikaze Minato.

"The reason is very simple, that is, Lord III asked me to convey the dispatch order of Anbe to the Minister together with Captain Owl.

However, Captain Owl was unlucky. He was attacked by Nine Tails and eventually died. At the same time, the order was also destroyed on him.

I went to Anbu alone to convey the order, but the result was that I refused to dispatch without a transfer order.

The situation at that time was very critical, so I could only choose to kill the Minister, so that Anbu could be dispatched. "

Speaking of this, the smile on Xia Yan's face became even brighter, he stared at Namikaze Minato and smiled slowly.

"I think, under such circumstances, Hokage-sama would probably make the same choice, right?"

Xia Yan's words hit Namikaze Minato's heart directly, and at the same time made Kushina dumbfounded.

After all, she really didn't know why, so Minister Anbu would make such a choice.

This is really rigid to an extreme, an unimaginable extreme!

Not dispatching without an order, even if Kyuubi is causing serious damage to the village, this is simply beyond Kushina's imagination.

But Namikaze Minato's face changed slightly, because he already knew everything.

Xia Yan had told him a long time ago, what kind of person and existence is the Minister of Anbu.

That guy is most likely a pure machine, and this guy Owl is the key linking Sarutobi Hiruzen and this machine.

There is such an obedient Anbu minister to rule the Anbu, and the other Anbu captains are more or less affected, and even directly obey Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Moreover, many small captains in Anbu were directly promoted by the big captain, which is why Minato Namikaze couldn't master Anbe at all.

If you want to break the current situation of Anbu, there is only one way, and that is Minato Namikaze directly chooses to tear the face with Hiruzaru Sarutobi.

Then forcibly replaced the head of Anbu, and everything was pushed back.

But obviously Namikaze Minato had no such plan, nor did he have such an idea, and Anbe was not under his control from the beginning to the end.

But now, Xia Yan actually directly killed Takumi Cunjima, and even found such an impeccable reason, even Namikaze Minato felt a little palpitating about such an approach.

In such a terrible and dangerous matter as the Nine-Tails incident, Xia Yan could think of such a way, and dared to do so.

Isn't this guy afraid that because he killed Minister Anbu, it would cause problems in dealing with Kyuubi?
If it were Namikaze Minato, he would really dare not do this.

After hesitating for a while, Namikaze Minato suddenly sighed faintly, his gaze towards Xia Yan changed slightly, becoming more serious.

"Xia Yanjun, let's not discuss whether your actions are right or wrong first. Aren't you afraid of even a little accident in your actions this time?"

Namikaze Minato's voice was still a little weak, but his tone was extremely firm.

"Once something goes wrong, aren't you afraid of huge losses to Konoha? Are you not afraid that the situation will get worse?"

"Master Hokage, I have seriously considered everything I do, and you have seen my strength."

Xia Yan smiled and said to Namikaze Minato, of course this is nonsense, because he himself did not expect such a good opportunity to appear.

But there is one thing that he didn't lie, that is, he really thought about the matter of Nine Tails, and that's why he chose to get involved.

"As for right and wrong, I don't think Hokage-sama has ever figured out one thing."

Xia Yan sighed slightly, he looked at Namikaze Minato with a smile, and this smile also gave Namikaze Minato a bad feeling.

He seemed to know what Xia Yan was going to say, but this answer was probably the last thing he wanted to hear, but it was also what he wanted to hear the most at this time.

"Master Hokage, although this sentence is very cold, even in the eyes of many people, it is wrong.

But when people stand in a higher position, many things, especially in front of interests, there is no right or wrong or wrong, only entry and exit.

And, a fairly flexible bottom line with a fixed lower limit. "

Having said that, Xia Yan stood up, and the smile on his face also began to shrink.

Although his expression is still very gentle, but it makes people feel shuddering.

"My bottom line is that Konoha will be fine, and within that bottom line I will do whatever is good for me.

Whether it's an owl or Takumi Murashima, whatever."

"Me too, right?"

Before Xia Yan could finish speaking, Namikaze Minato suddenly interrupted Xia Yan's words.

"It was you who saved me, and the reason you saved me was that you didn't want me to die, which would affect your interests, right?"

"Yes."

Xia Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally he nodded seriously.

"Hokage-sama thinks this way, there is no problem, because once Hokage-sama dies, then the third Hokage-sama will lose control.

This is not a good thing for me, especially since I still need to develop, so Hokage master is the best person to fight against the third generation of Hokage. "

This time Xia Yan didn't lie, because there was no need to lie anymore.

Strength is a person's reliance, and Xia Yan's strength in this era can be regarded as a relatively good reliance.

Even if his strength is in the future, he is just a slightly stronger miscellaneous soldier level.

But now, Uchiha Madara is dead, Nagato's reincarnation eye has not been fully controlled, those shadows have no information about him and he has information about shadows.

It can be said that this is completely a dimensionality reduction blow!
Even though Namikaze Minato has senjutsu and Nine-Tails' Chakra as a backing, but in his current state, not to mention desperate, speaking seems to be strenuous.

Xia Yan found that for now, he really didn't seem to have much to fear.

Of course, he didn't dare to become an enemy of the whole world. Ninjas were afraid of being stabbed in the back.

He still remembers how the original Hakura who was rescued by him died, and how Madara Uchiha's heart was ripped out.

He can only show his ambition within a certain range, which is already his limit, and he really needs to be strong now!

Namikaze Minato looked at him quietly, but Kushina was completely dumbfounded at this time.

Although she is usually careless, it does not mean that she is really stupid. On the contrary, she is a very smart person.

She has already heard a lot of things, for example, the head of Anbu was deliberately murdered by Xia Yan!
And her husband is still alive, it is entirely because the boy in front of him still needs his husband to stand in front of the Third Hokage, so that he can continue to do what he wants to do calmly.

This kid belongs to the Senshou Clan and is a user of Mudun. When Kushina was a child, he followed Uzumaki Mito and lived in the Senshou Clan.

She naturally knew how much this family longed for Hokage, and she also knew that after knowing this guy's loneliness, she did not give up her dream again.

Even if they almost disappeared in Konoha, even now they are rarely found.

But Kushina believes that their goal has not changed from the beginning to the end. I am afraid they are still looking at Hokage's position!

Thinking of this, Kushina couldn't help but look at her husband with some concern, the current situation is too complicated.

"I understand, Xia Yanjun."

After a long time, Minato Namikaze sighed faintly, he seemed to be a little haggard.

"I understand, maybe I'm really not suitable to be Hokage."

"Minato." Hearing this sentence, Kushina couldn't help but speak, but she was interrupted by Minato before she finished speaking.

"Kushina, don't worry, listen to me."

Namikaze Minato shook his head lightly, and then he said a little lonely.

"After being a Hokage for a year, I actually realized a lot of things.

As a Hokage, sometimes it is really impossible to judge a thing by right and wrong, because it is too narrow.

What Xia Yanjun said is correct, there is no right or wrong when it comes to interests, there is only a flexible bottom line.

I'm aware of it when I'm dealing with a problem, and I'm forced to make a lot of choices.

Especially among these choices, many of them are wrong in my opinion.

But I have to maintain a bottom line, and this bottom line is the interests of the village.

The village is stable, so even if something is right, I have to think it is wrong.

And some things are obviously wrong, and I have to consider whether the consequences it brings will affect the village, so I have to think it is right.

This is very tiring, really tiring, and Hokage really doesn't seem to be what I imagined. "

Speaking of this, Namikaze Minato suddenly showed a relieved smile, this smile looked very sunny, but the smell of loneliness was even stronger.

"At first I didn't know why the third generation would choose me as Hokage, I thought it was the result of my good performance.

I later found out that it wasn't because of that, but because of my teacher, Kushina, and part of my performance on the battlefield, which made me Hokage.

Xia Yanjun, to be ironic, I once told you that you may not think I am a qualified Hokage, but I have a bottom line that I must stick to.

Now I find that I am indeed not a qualified Hokage, maybe because I insist on my personal bottom line too much? "

Xia Yan looked at Namikaze Minato silently, for some reason he felt a little sad in his heart, he would not deny the fact that Namikaze Minato was a good person.

I will not deny the excellence of Namikaze Minato and his insistence on the bottom line. We can only say that he is an extremely excellent ninja with great charm.

It cannot be regarded as a qualified ruler who can be flexible and even cruel at certain times.

He could hear the loneliness in Namikaze Minato's words, but Xia Yan must take some responsibility for this situation.

After all, it was what he did that made Minato so unconfident.

"Master Hokage, you are actually very good." Xia Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally said slowly: "It takes time to grow up. The education I have received since I was a child is different from Master Hokage, so..."

"Xia Yan-jun, how long can my body last?" Namikaze Minato suddenly interrupted Xia Yan, and he seemed to change the topic a little bluntly.

"I'm afraid it will take a few years of recuperation." Xia Yan opened his mouth, and finally said honestly: "It is not easy to lift the ghoul seal. I have checked Lord Hokage's body, and there is no question of lifespan. It only needs to rest for a few years."

"I understand." Namikaze Minato nodded, his face became serious: "It seems that in the past few years, it seems that the third generation needs to control Konoha, and now there is a vacancy in the position of Minister Anbu."

Hearing these words, Xia Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Namikaze Minato strangely, he knew that Namikaze Minato was about to make a final decision.

Today's somewhat unexpected but reasonable showdown had only one essential purpose, and that was to wait for Namikaze Minato to make a decision.

Xia Yan directly admitted that he saved Namikaze Minato, so why wasn't he playing an emotional card?
It was he who prevented Kyuubi from further destroying Konoha, and it was he who saved Namikaze Minato and reunited their family. This is a card of affection and strength.

At the same time, he said what he did, and said his bottom line without hesitation, which is showing his political skills.

Both cards have been revealed, so now what he has to wait for is the final decision of Minato Namikaze, he is not Danzo, he will not easily overtake, Minato Namikaze is the Fourth Hokage!

"Then, I officially accept my fate as the Fourth Hokage." Namakaze Minato looked at Xia Yan seriously, and finally he said calmly: "Natsuhiko Senju, you are the new Minister of Anbu!"

"Thank you Hokage-sama for your trust." Xia Yan's body froze slightly when he heard this, and then immediately relaxed: "I will not let Hokage-sama down."

Minister of the Anbu, Minister of the Anbu!
This is the result of Xia Yan's waiting for many years, he finally got Anbu!

Even though it was only a few months for him to become the captain, even if he was only 14 years old, at this moment he has indeed become the head of Anbu.

Now he is probably the youngest minister in Konoha, and also the youngest minister with real power!

The joyful mood was instantly rippling in Xia Yan's heart, but he didn't show it at all. After all, there was no official document issued, so all this was nothing.

But Xia Yan knew what Namikaze Minato was like, and he knew that since Minato had said it, he would definitely do it.

Namikaze Minato has always been a trustworthy person, there is no doubt about it!
"I will write the official document later."

Namikaze Minato looked at the boy in front of him and nodded slightly, then he said in a more serious tone.

"But Xia Yanjun, I admire your strength and your wrist.

I believe that you will be a good Hokage in the future, not someone who just pursues a Hokage with passion like me.

But this is not enough, this is far from enough, I will watch you, Xia Yanjun, I will always pay attention to you. "

Having said that, Minato Namikaze paused for a moment, and then he continued in the harshest tone.

"I'll watch you do it, watch the difference you make. If you're not good enough, you're even worse.

Then even if it is death, I will not let you go!Did you hear me clearly?Chishou Natsuhiko! "

Sarutobi Hiruzen came to the hospital slowly, his heart is very heavy now.

It can be said that he didn't have a good rest all night, after all, Namikaze Minato entered the hospital, and Konoha suffered such a severe blow.

As the third generation of Hokage, he must deal with these things well, otherwise the village will be in trouble!
Moreover, such high-intensity work can also temporarily relieve his inner grief.

You must know that this night, not only Konoha suffered an unimaginable blow, but also himself.

The wife who has been with him through decades of ups and downs has completely left him. How can he bear such a blow?
He is also a human being, and he also has his own feelings. Lake Biwa is the woman who always stands firmly behind him.

But this person is no longer there, he has completely left him, and there is no need to repeat the grief in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Hiruza Sarutobi forced himself not to think about these things anymore, because the more he thought about it, the more painful it was.

"Master Hokage." When he came to the door of the office of the head of the medical department, the current head of the medical department immediately bowed to say hello.

"In this critical period, there is no need for so many etiquettes." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head: "How is the situation now, and what is the situation of the fourth generation."

"Ordinary ninjas have a lot of wounded here, and there are about two or three hundred seriously injured." The medical minister sighed: "As for whether they can fully recover, I really have no way to guarantee it, unless"

Unless something, the medical minister didn't explain too much, but Hiruzaru Sarutobi already knew what he meant.

Unless God bless Konoha, unless Tsunade comes back to rescue these people himself!

But will God really bless Konoha?

Sarutobi Hiruzen himself didn't dare to think about this point, if God bless Konoha, it is impossible for Konoha to be involved in the third ninja world war.

It's also impossible for Jiraiya to run away with Tsunade, and it's impossible for Kyuubi to come out and cause such a big problem!

As for Tsunade's return?

If it was the past, maybe Sarutobi Hiruzen would still look forward to it, but now he really doesn't want to think about it.

A Senju Natsuhiko has completely made him feel pressured, and Tsunade's departure was apparently due to hemophobia, and she thought she could not be a ninja anymore.

But it's really hard to say whether there are other reasons at a deeper level.

For example, the death of Senju Nawaki, the loneliness of the Senju clan, and so on.

Her departure also prompted Jiraiya's departure, and Hiruza Sarutobi saw all of this.

Perhaps out of a sense of indebtedness, he did not express any opinions or resolutions on such matters.

Because strictly speaking, the actions of Tsunade and Jiraiya are in some senses equivalent to judging the village.

After all, Konoha ninjas are like soldiers, and Tsunade and Jiraiya are even more like senior officers. How can they be so free?

"Let's not talk about this question, what about the Fourth Hokage?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi shook his head, and he asked with a sigh, "How is his situation now?"

"Fourth Hokage-sama, he."

The head of the medical department's expression changed slightly. After looking around, he lowered his voice and whispered.

"I'm afraid the fourth generation will need to rest for a while."

"How long is the rest?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard this sentence: "Can you give me some specific information?"

"I don't know exactly what happened to the fourth generation of adults."

The medical minister said cautiously, because this matter is really important.

"His physical condition is very complicated, the lightest injury seems to be a broken rib, which is easier to deal with.

But in terms of function, there are problems with every organ in his body, and his body is extremely weak. To be honest, when I saw him, I thought he was dead.

But the strange thing is that although he is so weak, his life seems to be fine after our inspection.

And there is a force full of life force in him, which protects him and allows him to recover.

It's just that all this takes time. According to preliminary estimates, it may take several years to fully recover without any sequelae. "

several years?
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help being slightly silent when he heard these words, then he nodded calmly and motioned for the medical minister to leave.

Then he walked towards Namikaze Minato's ward silently. The situation of Namikaze Minato was really beyond his expectations, but overall it was good.

Although Xia Yan completely sided with Namikaze Minato, and there was still a silent struggle between him and Namikaze Minato to continue, but it was better than Konoha's shadow dying.

However, on the way here, he also got the news that Xia Yan had come earlier, and Namikaze Minato had dispersed all Anbu, and chatted with Xia Yan alone for a while.

This news made Hiruzaru Sarutobi frown, he always felt that this matter might not be good, what is the purpose of Xia Yan coming to Namikaze Minato at this time?
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, which made him quicken his pace.

"Watergate."

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly pushed open the door of the ward, and soon his pupils dilated slightly, because he saw that Minakaze Minato was drafting something.

"Master Sandaime." Namikaze Minato raised his head slightly, and then he showed a gentle smile: "Thank you, Sir Sandaime, for coming to visit."

"You just woke up, you don't need to be like this." Sarutobi Hiruzen walked slowly to Namikaze Minato, when his eyes swept over this piece of paper, his face really changed.

Because he clearly saw that Minato Namikaze was writing the appointment of Minister Anbu!

Especially when he saw the name of the head of Anbu, Natsuhiko Senju, his face became even uglier.

As expected, this matter is exactly what he thought, and it is also developing in this bad direction.

"Is it too urgent?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked hesitantly: "Murashima Takumi died, and he died at the hands of Natsuhiko Senju, at this time."

"Master Sandaime, Xia Yan's strength is obvious to all." Before Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, Namikaze Minato interrupted him: "I don't think many people can match his contribution to Konoha this time." Are they comparable?"

"However, the death of Takumi Murashima"

"I know, I've heard about this matter, although he did it hastily, but he also did it for Konoha.

It just so happens that the position of Anbu is now vacant, so I think I can let him try it out.

In other words, is there anything better for Mr. III, can he reward Minister Xia Yan for everything he has performed in this Nine-Tails operation? "

(End of this chapter)
