Beware of members in Naruto

12 years later.

Time has come to the starting point of the original work.

Not crooked or biased.

On this day, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha was about to attend an important meeting with the Third Hokage, two elders and Danzo.

This meeting was aimed at the dispute between Kumogakure and Konoha.

A few years ago, the Kumogakure ninjas sneaked into the territory of the Hyuga clan in Konoha Village and tried to take inappropriate actions. Fortunately, the head of the Hyuga clan, Hizu, took action in time and stopped the Kumogakure ninjas.

But this also gave Kumogakure's side a reason to launch a war.

In the past ten years or so, Konoha's combat power has not improved much.

Except for the rise of some geniuses, the rest of the combat power is much weaker than before.

All because of the sacrifice of a genius in the Kyuubi accident 12 years ago

"After six years, this dispute can finally come to an end."

Minato pressed his temples with a tired look on his face, looked at the document in front of him and muttered with a headache.

He has long since lost the heroic spirit of his youth, replaced by a tired look caused by the mountainous work.

The dark circles under my eyes gradually became more obvious.

"Minato, don't be careless. We don't know the intentions of Kumogakure's side yet. If the other party still clings on, even if they don't take action at the place where we are talking about, they will definitely start a war when they return."

"Yunyin is different from other villages. In terms of the current strength of the five major villages, Yunyin can definitely be ranked among the top two."

"I know, Mito-sama."

Minato replied with his eyes closed, he was just a little too tired.

Ever since the Kyuubi turmoil, things have been happening one after another.

It also includes disputes between families and pressure exerted by senior officials.

Even certain disputes within the Country of Fire must be resolved by him.

Almost one person supports a village.

And Kushina also had to take care of Naruto, so it was difficult for her to help Minato.

In the past 12 years, Konoha's combat power has not changed much. The only big change is the Uchiha clan, which was once a wealthy family. Under pressure from the top, the territory was forced to be transferred to the training ground around the village.

The reason is still due to the unrest in the Nine Tails. Kirara suddenly showed great strength, which caused protests from some people in the village who did not know the truth.

The most vehement among them was Danzo. After unsuccessfully applying to Minato to move the Uchiha clan to their territory, he actually went to complain to the daimyo.

Under pressure from many aspects, Minato could only make this difficult decision after communicating with Fugaku.

"It happened to be Naruto's birthday. It gives me a headache. If this kid knows that I won't go back to celebrate his birthday, he will definitely make trouble again."

Minato felt even more headache when he thought about the troublemaker at home.

My son is famous for being a naughty and troublemaker in the village. Although his talent as a ninja is extraordinary, his personality

"Follow Kushina's temper."

Just when Minato was about to get up, a man's urgent voice came from outside.

"Lord Minato, the Fourth Hokage"

"This sound is what happened above."

After Minato heard the urgent sound, he teleported to the rooftop with a flying thunder god.

When he came to the rooftop and took a first look, his face suddenly turned darker.

The Huoying Rock built on a tall and towering mountain had its face covered with paint.

Without even thinking, Minato knew who did it.

"It seems like this kid won't be able to survive if he doesn't take good care of him."

Minato sensed Naruto's chakra and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly reach the top of the Hokage Rock.

At this time, Naruto was holding a paint bucket in one hand and a brush in the other. When he was about to add a touch of paint to these Hokage Rocks, Minato grabbed his hand.

Minato's appearance obviously made Naruto feel a little confused, and then he remembered something.

"Dad, today is mine"

"Naruto, stop fooling around. Hokage Rock is a sacred place to honor the ancestors of Hokages. How many times have I told you."

Minato looked serious and scolded the disobedient Naruto in a stern tone.

This made Naruto immediately lower his little head, looking extremely aggrieved.

"I'm sorry Dad."

The shouting ninja breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Naruto finally stopping his hand.

He is a nanny-like existence responsible for watching over Naruto, in order to prevent Naruto from causing trouble in the village.

If it continues, it will be a dereliction of duty on his part.

Seeing the extremely aggrieved Naruto, Minato's hardened heart suddenly softened.

After sighing, he gently touched Naruto's head.

"Okay, it's okay. Dad has important things to do today, so I can't be with you on your birthday. Let mom be with you."

"But Dad, you've been there for several years."

"Sorry, Naruto, you have to understand me, I am Hokage"

"That's it again, is Naruto that important? Is it important enough to ignore the birthdays of family members?"

Naruto, who was stimulated by Minato's words, rarely burst out with his emotions.

This emotion has been in his heart for many years.

"For me, everyone in Konoha is my family. As Hokage, my duty is to protect everyone."

"You'll understand when you grow up."

When Naruto heard this, he clenched his fists and whispered.

"Hokage Hokage Hokage, who wants this kind of position?"

After saying that, Naruto turned around and ran away.

Seeing this, Minato felt guilty and helpless.

Maybe this is because I can't help myself.

"Keep an eye on that child Naruto, don't let him run around anymore, this is a tense period, please excuse me."

Minato said to the stunned ninja behind him, causing the ninja to come back to his senses immediately.

He bowed down very respectfully and replied quickly.

"Yes, Hokage-sama"

After saying that, he ran away in the direction where Naruto left.

After solving this matter, Minato also walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the Hokage Rock below for a moment.

Afterwards, a flying thunder god returned to the office.

At this point everyone is ready.

Minato glanced at a few people, nodded silently, and continued.

"Let's go."

At this time, in the cemetery in Konoha, a beautiful girl was holding flowers in her hands, half-kneeling in front of a tombstone, looking at the large characters on the tombstone with a sad face.

"Uchiha Mina."

"Auntie, I'm here to see you."

This girl is the talented ninja who has become famous in Konoha in recent years, Izumi Uchiha.

At only 17 years old, she has become one of the Hokage's most capable assistants.

Standing behind her was Itachi, who was the same age as her.

Compared to Izumi, Itachi's reputation is not inferior, and his legends are spread everywhere in the ninja world.

A once-in-a-century illusion genius, he opened the Mangekyō Sharingan at a young age.

Itachi frowned, looking at the name engraved on the tombstone in front of him, recalling the past.

"It's been 12 years, Qiluo, where have you been?"
