Spoiler at the beginning, Brother Tuzi, can you really open your eyes to this?

Youyue fell into a deep sleep, but someone's thoughts were still lingering in the night.

Konoha Village, in the timeline of forty-eight years.

In the Hokage's office, even though it was late at night, the lights were still on.

Minato Namikaze sat behind his desk, brows furrowed, carefully savoring every detail of the video in the group chat.

"The Nine-Tails Rebellion took place on October 10th, the day Naruto was born, which is still a few months away."

"Should we take the initiative to attack, or should we set up an ambush in advance..."

"At this time, Obito should have been secretly controlling the Mizukage in the Land of Water..."

"For three years, Blood Mist Village carried out a large-scale purge of ninjas with bloodline limits."

"Should we send the Anbu to investigate the Hidden Mist Village?"

As his thoughts flowed, Minato's eyes fell on the photo of him and Jiraiya on the table.

At that moment, as if struck by thunder, a more pressing question suddenly jumped into his mind.

Jiraiya once accepted three disciples in the Land of Rain - Yahiko, Nagato and Konan.

The Akatsuki organization, which would become famous in the ninja world in the future, was created by them.

But at this time, Akatsuki was just a small group of passionate young people who traveled together for the sake of world peace.

It was far from the organization that would stop at nothing to pursue the tailed beasts in the future.

The key to this change was the despicable act planned by Danzo Shimura.

This old man Danzo is not a normal person.

He secretly sent people to sneak into the Rain Country and kidnap Konan from the Akatsuki organization.

Although they did not take the opportunity to play bondage game, this directly led to the death of Yahiko, the sunny and cheerful boy in the trio, and prompted Nagato to move towards darkness.

Nagato therefore transformed himself into a "god" that transcended humanity and attempted to conquer the entire ninja world by force.

After doing all the bad things, Danzo just walked away, and the unlucky Hanzo suffered the consequences.

Not only did most of his men die, but he was also killed by Payne a few years later.

Danzo's old man was even at large until he was put to death by Sasuke before the start of the Fourth Ninja World War.

After watching what Danzo had done in Konoha over the past few decades in Yutsuki's video.

Minato Namikaze wished he could kill him right now.

But he absolutely couldn't do these things in front of everyone in Konoha.

"We must not let Danzo hurt them again this time."

Morally, they are Jiraiya's disciples and his own junior fellow apprentices. Now that he knows about it, he can't just sit back and do nothing.

Logically, Nagato in the Akatsuki organization has mastered the Rinnegan. Although it originated from Madara, it is currently used by Nagato, which means that there is an additional powerful force.

"The video shows that this happened not long after I became Hokage... it should be recently."

Thinking of this, Minato pressed a button on the table.

After a while

An ANBU member appeared in front of him.

"Hokage-sama."

The ANBU saluted respectfully.

"Help me check Elder Danzo's movements."

"I want to know if he has left the village."

Namikaze Minato gave the order.

"As ordered!"

The Anbu took the order and left.

After a while, the Anbu brought back the news.

"Your Excellency, the Fourth Daeme, Elder Danzo has secretly left the village, along with more than a dozen members of the Root."

"What? When did it happen?" Namikaze Minato frowned.

This is not a good sign.

"I left this morning. This is the record."

After taking the information, Minato Namikaze discovered that Danzo had been gone for more than ten hours.

"Oops."

I cried secretly in my heart.

Immediately afterwards, Minato Namikaze's figure turned into a golden light and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

When he appeared again, he had arrived at the entrance of Konoha Village.

"Hokage-sama?!"

The guard at the gate thought it was an illusion. Why would the Hokage suddenly come patrolling in the middle of the night?

Minato nodded to him slightly, then used the instant body-flash technique, turned into a shadow, passed through the night, and left Konoha.

"I must catch up..."

A flame of anxiety burned in Minato Namikaze's heart.

He failed to arrive in time when Obito sacrificed himself, and he was also powerless to stop Rin's sacrifice.

This time, we must never let tragedy happen again!

Rain Country

This place seems to be shrouded in heavy haze all year round, with endless rain.

The valley between the two mountains was densely populated with Hanzo's subordinates and members of Danzo's "Root", forming a tight encirclement.

Hanzo stood on the top of the hill, looking down at Yahiko and his party below with an arrogant attitude.

"Leader of the Akatsuki organization, your end is today, and this place will be your burial place."

Instigated by Danzo's eloquent words, Hanzo felt that the rapidly rising Akatsuki organization threatened his absolute rule in the Rain Country.

Therefore, they took advantage of the opportunity when Konan was alone and captured her, using her as a restraint, intending to force Yahiko and the others to self-destruct.

"The red-haired guy, kill Yahiko! If you kill him, this woman and you can get away alive."

Hanzo casually threw a kunai, and the sharp blade stabbed right at the feet of Nagato and Yahiko, like a cruel order.

When Nagato heard this, his body shook involuntarily, and an unbearable struggle surged in his heart.

You want me to...kill Yahiko with my own hands?

"Don't listen to him, Nagato, Yahiko, leave me alone and just go away!" Konan cried at the top of her lungs.

Seeing that Nagato had no reaction, Hanzo said coldly:

"Do you really not care about this woman's life or death?"

After hearing this, Yahiko could no longer remain silent and said in a low voice:

"Nagato, go ahead and carry on with my ideals, and live strong."

Nagato's whole body was trembling, his eyes shifting back and forth between Yahiko and Konan who was in danger, his heart was in torment.

Finally, he slowly raised the kunai...

Just when this tragedy seemed about to happen, a sharp sound of breaking air suddenly sounded in the air.

Ding!

After a crisp sound, another kunai flew in like a gust of wind and was deeply nailed into the ground!

Before everyone could react, a ray of shining golden light suddenly appeared, and in a flash, a figure appeared before their eyes.

It was the dazzling golden hair and the divine robe fluttering in the wind.

After that it was written: The Fourth Hokage!

Minato Namikaze arrived at the scene at the last minute.

"Just in time..."

Namikaze Minato breathed slightly and rushed here from Konoha using the instant body movement technique. Although it consumed a lot of chakra, he was fortunately not late.

"Minato Namikaze?!"

Hanzo and Danzo exchanged shocked looks, wondering why the other was here.

"What now?"

Hanzo seemed a little flustered. If he were in his prime, he might still be able to fight against the "Golden Flash" who was famous in the ninja world.

But now, time has left its marks on him, and Minato Namikaze is in his prime, so his chances of winning are slim.

"Why are you panicking? How can you, a demigod, be frightened to the point of losing your composure by a junior?"

Danzo glanced at Hanzo coldly and said lightly, with a barely perceptible hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.

It's Minato Namikaze again.

Why is it always him who ruins my plans?

When the Third Hokage abdicated, Orochimaru chose to betray the village and flee.

He originally had considerable competitiveness for the position of the fourth Hokage, but unexpectedly, someone unexpectedly showed up, Minato Namikaze.

Minato's brilliant military achievements were recognized by even the daimyo, who agreed that he was the best successor to the Hokage.

Even when Danzo tried to obstruct him by saying that he was too young to handle such a heavy responsibility, it was useless with the support of the daimyo.

Minato successfully ascended the throne of Hokage.

As a result, his dream of becoming Hokage was completely shattered.

He took a step closer, questioning in his voice:

"Namikaze Minato, as the Hokage, you attacked the Rain Country quietly at night. Are you trying to ignite a war between the two countries?"

"Once the war reignites, you will be the instigator of the feud between the two countries!"

As soon as Danzo opened his mouth, his words were like a sword pointing straight at the other person's heart.

No matter what, put on your hat first.

However, Minato did not evade the question, but threw it back:

"Shouldn't you be the one to answer this, Elder Danzo?"

"You acted without the approval of the Hokage and led your team deep into the Rain Country to interfere in its internal affairs. What is your real purpose?"

Minato's meaningful look made Danzo's heart tighten.

"Did he realize my plan to seize the Rinnegan?"

"No... Even I only learned this information recently, how could he know it?"

Not long ago, Danzo ordered his men to disguise themselves as ninjas from the Hidden Rock Village and provoked a conflict with the Rain Ninjas in the Rain Country, attempting to trigger a war between the two countries.

Unexpectedly, the randomly chosen targets were the three leaders of the Akatsuki organization, Yahiko, Nagato and Konan.

At the critical moment, Nagato activated the power of the Rinnegan and summoned the Outer Path Demon Statue to repel Danzo, but also exposed the secret of the Rinnegan.

As a result, the current situation has become that Danzo and Hanzo are trying to destroy the Akatsuki organization, while he himself is waiting for an opportunity to seize the Rinnegan.

Of course, Danzo would not confess.

He angrily retorted:

"What nonsense are you talking about! I have only one goal, and that is to uphold justice!"

"The Akatsuki organization is doing evil things. As citizens of the Rain Country, they are attacking their own ninjas, intending to expand the organization and overthrow the government of the Hidden Rain Village."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yahiko, who was standing behind Minato, stood up angrily and pointed at Danzo:

"You are the one talking nonsense! We have never attacked any ninja from the Rain Country!"

"Hokage-sama, he is deceiving you!"

Yahiko was afraid that Namikaze Minato would be deceived by Danzo's one-sided words, and he seemed very anxious.

At this moment, their only hope lies in the sudden appearance of the Fourth Hokage.

Namikaze Minato turned his head and smiled gently:

"Don't worry, my two junior brothers, I will definitely seek justice for you."

"Master...Junior brother?" Minato's address made Yahiko and Nagato slightly stunned.

"Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, is also my teacher."

After hearing Minato's explanation, Yahiko suddenly understood.

"Ah... So you are the outstanding senior brother that the teacher mentioned."

"The teacher often mentioned you. He said that any genius would pale in comparison to you, my senior."

"I didn't expect that senior brother is the fourth Hokage of Konoha Village. He is so awesome!" Yahiko said while giving a thumbs up.

Now, the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

It must be someone related to Jiraiya.
